Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)	Presentation of Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Carolina Trust BancShares, Inc. (the “Company”), its subsidiary, Carolina Trust Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Western Carolina Holdings, LLC, which owns certain Bank assets. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On August 16, 2016, the Company announced that it had consummated a statutory share exchange pursuant to which it became the parent company of the Bank. Shares of the Bank’s common stock were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock at a one-for-one exchange rate. The Company is a North Carolina business corporation that operates as a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The Bank is the only subsidiary of the Company.

In management’s opinion, the financial information, which is unaudited, reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair presentation of the financial information as of September 30, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.

Information regarding the organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.

(2)	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amended the Leases topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to revise certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leasing transactions. ASU 2016-02 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The standard provides for a modified retrospective transition approach requiring lessees to recognize and measure leases on the balance sheet at the beginning of either the earliest period presented or as of the beginning of the period of adoption with the option to elect certain practical expedients. The Company has elected to apply the standard as of the beginning of the period of adoption (January 1, 2019) and did not restate comparative periods. The Company has adopted all the optional practical expedients available under ASU 2016-02.

The operating leases of the Company relate to office space and bank branches. As a result of implementing ASU 2016-02, we recognized an operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset of $457,000 and an operating lease liability of $443,000 on January 1, 2019, with no impact on net income or stockholders’ equity. The ROU asset and operating lease liability are recorded in bank premises, equipment and software and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. See Note 12 - Leases for additional information.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of the new standard will have on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company has formed a management committee including those responsible for credit analysis and review, accounting and finance, information technology and lending to develop an understanding of the requirements and plan implementation. The Company has adopted a software model for the ALLL model that has add-on functionality for compliance with the new standard and has contracted with a vendor to help with the development of the ALLL model for the new standard. The Company has also selected the methodologies to be used with the different loan segments and has ran different scenarios. Notwithstanding the effective dates described above, at its October 16, 2019 meeting, the FASB approved its August 2019 proposal to grant private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and certain small public companies various effective date delays. The implementation date for the Company, which is defined as a smaller reporting company by the SEC will be for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. These amendments remove the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurement methodologies, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. It also adds a requirement to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, entities may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this standard will have on its disclosures.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(3)	Business Combination

Acquisition of Clover Community Bankshares, Inc.

On January 1, 2019 the Company acquired by merger Clover Community Bankshares, Inc. (“Clover”), the parent holding company for Clover Community Bank, Clover, South Carolina. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization between the Company and Clover dated June 14, 2018, Clover merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation in the merger. Immediately following the parent merger, Clover Community Bank was merged with and into the Bank, also effective January 1, 2019. Pursuant to the merger agreement, each share of Clover capital stock was converted into either 2.7181 shares of the Company’s common stock or $22.00 in cash and subject to a prescribed allocation in the merger agreement that provided that 80% of Clover’s shares would be converted to the stock consideration and 20% of Clover’s shares would be converted into the cash consideration. Overall, the Company issued 2,123,858 shares of its common stock in exchange for 80% of the Clover shares and paid $3,008 in lieu of fractional shares that would otherwise have been issued. The cash merger consideration paid for 20% of the Clover shares totaled $4,298,360. The stock consideration was valued at $7.58 per share, based on the most recent closing price reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market for a share of the Company’s common stock on the date immediately preceding the merger date. In accordance with the merger agreement, cash in lieu of fractional shares was valued at a rate of $7.63 per share, based on the 20-day average closing price for a share of the Company’s common stock for the 20-trading days immediately preceding the merger date. The total purchase price paid was $20.4 million.

The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Clover were recorded based on estimates of fair values as of January 1, 2019. In the second quarter of 2019, there were some additional adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired. An increase in the amount of $76,000 was made to the fair value adjustments of loans acquired due to a correction on the valuation of interest only loans. A decrease of $330,000 to Core deposit intangible was recorded due to correction of the FHLB offering rates used in the valuation calculation. An offsetting entry was made to the deferred tax asset, which is included in other assets, for $96,000. The remaining $310,000 was recorded as an increase to goodwill. In the third quarter of 2019, there was one adjustment to the fair value of assets acquired. A decrease of $68,000 was made to other assets due to the decrease in the value of a foreclosed asset. An offsetting entry was made to the deferred tax asset, which is included in other assets, for $16,000. The remaining $52,000 was recorded as an increase to goodwill.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value:

(4)	Earnings Per Share

Basic Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, after giving retroactive effect to stock splits and dividends.

Diluted Earnings per Common Share

The computation of diluted earnings per common share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. These additional common shares would include employee equity share options, nonvested shares and similar equity instruments granted to employees, as well as the shares associated with the common stock warrants issued to the U.S. Treasury Department as part of the preferred stock transaction completed in February 2009. Diluted earnings per common share are based upon the actual number of options or shares granted and not yet forfeited unless doing so would be antidilutive. The numerator is adjusted for any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of those potential common shares.

The following table summarizes earnings per share and the shares utilized in the computations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively:

Dollars in thousands, except per share data	Net Income		Weighted Average Common Shares		Per Share Amount

(5)	Fair Value Measurements

The Company is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities on and off the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. These fair value estimates are made at each reporting date, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are intended to represent the price an asset could be sold at or the price a liability could be settled for. However, given there is no active market or observable market transactions for many of the Company’s financial instruments, the Company has made estimates of many of these fair values which are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimated values. The methodologies for financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:

Cash and Due from Banks and Interest-Earning Deposits with Banks

The carrying amounts for cash and due from banks and interest-earning deposits with banks approximate fair value because of the short maturities of those instruments.

Certificates of Deposit with Banks

The fair value of certificates of deposit with banks is estimated by discounting expected cash flows using the rates currently offered for instruments of similar remaining maturities.

Investment and Equity Securities

Fair value for investment and equity securities equals the quoted market price if such information is available. If a quoted market price is not available in active markets for identical securities (Level 1), fair value may be estimated using observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities and credit spreads (Level 2). Otherwise, unobservable inputs such as independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating on similar securities, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions (Level 3). The fair value would be based on an exit price between market participants that may include adjustments for liquidity and credit.

Table of Contents

CAROLINA TRUST BANCSHARES, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated based on exit price. These cash flows include assumptions for prepayment estimates over each loan’s remaining life, considerations for the current interest rate environment compared to the weighted average rate of each portfolio and a credit risk component based on the historical and expected performance of each portfolio. The calculation also includes market liquidity and credit adjustments.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings, money market and negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting expected cash flows using the rates currently offered for instruments of similar remaining maturities.

Finance Lease Obligation, Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Long Term Subordinated Debt

The fair value of borrowings is based upon discounted expected cash flows using current rates at which borrowings of similar maturity could be obtained.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

With regard to commitments to extend credit discussed in Note 10, the fair value amounts are not material.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, are as follows at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1

Valuation based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2

Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3

Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

The Company did not have any Level 3 assets measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2018.

Impaired Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures it for impairment. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, a loan’s observable market price and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value exceeds the recorded investments in such loans. At September 30, 2019, the discounted cash flows method was used in determining the fair value of eight loans totaling $0.8 million and the fair value of the collateral method was used in the other sixteen loans totaling $2.3 million. At December 31, 2018, the discounted cash flows method was used in determining the fair value of nine loans totaling $1.7 million and the fair value of the collateral method was used in the other twenty-two loans totaling $2.4 million. Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral and also when written down with the discounted cash flow method require classification in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the collateral for an impaired loan is classified as Level 3. Although appraisals of these properties are frequently based on comparable properties, they are not identical. Significant unobservable inputs will need to be used in assessing the value. When the discounted cash flows method is used, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3. There have been no changes in valuation techniques for the three- or nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. Valuation techniques are consistent with techniques used in prior periods.

The following table presents impaired loans that were re-measured and reported at fair value through a specific valuation allowance allocation of the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral or discounted cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Foreclosed Assets

Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. The fair value of foreclosed assets is classified as Level 3. Although appraisals of these properties are frequently based on comparable properties, they are not identical. Significant unobservable inputs will need to be used in assessing the value.

The carrying value of foreclosed assets is periodically reviewed and written down to fair value. Any loss is included in earnings. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no assets that were written down prior to foreclosure. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 there were no assets that were written down prior to foreclosure. Comparatively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, foreclosed assets in the amount of $1,158,000 were written down by $180,000 to $978,000 prior to foreclosure. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, foreclosed assets with a carrying value of $592,000 were written down by $68,000 to $524,000 subsequent to foreclosure and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, foreclosed assets with a carrying value of $823,000 were written down by $105,000 to $718,000 subsequent to foreclosure. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, foreclosed assets with a carrying value of $640,000 were written down by $53,000 to $587,000 subsequent to foreclosure and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, $1,618,000 were written down by $301,000 to $1,317,000 subsequent to foreclosure.

Management considers the nature of the investment, the underlying causes of the decline in the market value and the severity and duration of the decline in market value in determining if impairment is other than temporary. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. As of September 30, 2019, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Bank will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline.

Management does not believe such securities are other-than-temporarily impaired due to reasons of credit quality. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2019, management believes the impairments detailed in the table above are temporary and no impairment loss has been realized in the Company’s net income. Securities with a fair value of $8.0 million were pledged to secure public funds at September 30, 2019. The Company had no sales of securities during the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.
