CHARTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1: Nature of Operations

Charter Financial Corporation (“Charter Financial” or the “Company”) is a savings and loan holding company that was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland in April 2013 to serve as the holding company for CharterBank ("“CharterBank"” or "“the Bank”). The Bank is a federally-chartered savings bank that was originally founded in 1954 as a federally-chartered mutual savings and loan association.

On April 8, 2013, the Company completed its conversion and reorganization pursuant to which it converted from the mutual holding company form of organization to the stock holding company form of organization. The Company sold 14.3 million shares of common stock for gross offering proceeds of $142.9 million in the offering. Following the conversion and reorganization, the Bank became 100% owned by Charter Financial and Charter Financial became 100% owned by public shareholders.

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, the Company ~~operates~~operated 22 branch offices in the metropolitan Atlanta area ("“Metro Atlanta"” or "the “MSA"”), including one cashless branch office in Norcross, Georgia, the I-85 corridor south to Auburn, Alabama, and the Florida Gulf Coast~~, including one cashless branch office in Norcross, Georgia~~.

On April 24, 2018, the Company and CenterState Bank Corporation, a Florida corporation (“CenterState”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) whereby the Company will be merged with and into CenterState (the “Merger”). Pursuant to and simultaneously with entering into the Merger Agreement, CharterBank and CenterState's wholly owned subsidiary bank, CenterState Bank, N.A. (“CenterState Bank”), entered into a Plan of Merger and Merger Agreement whereby CharterBank will be merged with and into CenterState Bank immediately following the Merger (the “Bank Merger”). See Note 4: Business Combinations for further information on the proposed Merger.

Note 2: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Charter Financial and the Bank include the accounts of the Company and the Bank as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and September 30, 2017 (derived from audited financial statements), and for the three and ~~six~~nine-month periods ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and 2017. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine-month period ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or any other interim period.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, the estimates used for fair value acquisition accounting, the estimate of expected cash flows on purchased impaired and other acquired loans, and the assessment for other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. Certain reclassifications of prior fiscal year balances have been made to conform to classifications used in the current fiscal year. These reclassifications did not change net income or stockholders' equity.

Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and the Company elected to early adopt this guidance effective March 31, 2018. The adoption resulted in a reclassification of stranded tax effects of $219,000 from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings in the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition and stockholders' equity at March 31, 2018.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which sets forth a "current expected credit loss" (“CECL”) model requiring the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filers, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has assembled a transition team to assess the adoption of this ASU, which is in the process of developing a project plan regarding implementation and has contracted with a third-party provider to implement enhanced modeling techniques and a more automated database solution. The team is currently evaluating data and software requirements for implementation, and plans to run parallel models for a year prior to implementation. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adopting this standard.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities, which is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments by requiring: equity investments (other than equity method or consolidation) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; eliminating the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for organizations that are not public business entities; eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; and requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. This ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU permits early adoption of the instrument-specific credit risk provision. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 on October 1, 2018, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers. This standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard was to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, deferring the effective date for the standard to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. As a financial institution, the Company's revenue is more significantly weighted towards net interest income on its financial assets and liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of the new standard. The Company continues to assess its revenue streams and review its contracts with customers that are potentially affected by the new guidance, such as fees on deposits, gains and losses on the sale of other real estate owned, bankcard fees and brokerage commissions, to determine the potential impact the new guidance is expected to have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company's revenue recognition pattern for these revenue streams, however, is not expected to change materially from current practice. The Company also continues to follow implementation issues specific to financial institutions which are still under discussion by the FASB's Transition Resource Group. The Company plans to adopt the ASU on October 1, 2018, most likely under the modified retrospective approach.

Note 4: Business Combinations

Pending acquisition by CenterState Bank Corporation

On April 24, 2018, the Company and CenterState entered into the Merger Agreement whereby the Company will be merged with and into CenterState. Pursuant to and simultaneously with entering into the Merger Agreement, CharterBank and CenterState Bank entered into a Plan of Merger and Merger Agreement whereby CharterBank will be merged with and into CenterState Bank immediately following the Merger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Charter common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive 0.738 shares of CenterState common stock and a cash amount equal to $2.30, provided that cash in lieu of any fractional shares of CenterState common stock will be paid. Each outstanding share of CenterState stock shall remain outstanding and unaffected by the Merger. Each option to purchase shares of Charter common stock will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product (i) of the number of shares of Charter common stock underlying such option and (ii) $23.00 minus the exercise price per share under such option. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, all shares of Charter restricted stock shall vest in full and shall be treated like all other issued and outstanding shares of Charter common stock. As of the announcement date on April 24, 2018, based on CenterState's closing stock price of $27.72, the total merger consideration amounted to $360.1 million, or approximately $22.76 per share.

Table of Contents

The Merger Agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of the Company and CenterState, and is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of calendar 2018 subject to customary conditions, including receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals and the approval of the stockholders of the Company.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded $844,000 of merger related costs from the proposed CenterState acquisition.

Acquisition of Resurgens Bancorp

On September 1, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Resurgens Bancorp ("“Resurgens"”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Resurgens Bank, for cash consideration of $25.8 million. Upon completion of the acquisition, Resurgens merged into Charter Financial, and Resurgens Bank merged into CharterBank. The acquisition expanded the bank's presence in the Atlanta market with two branches in DeKalb County.

The following table provides a summary of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Resurgens as recorded by the Company. As provided for under GAAP, management has up to one year following the date of acquisition to finalize the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The fair values shown in the following table have been determined by management to be the Day 1 Fair Values.

No loans were recognized as credit impaired in the acquisition.

The Company recorded ~~$618,000~~no ~~and $927,000 of~~ merger expenses related to the Resurgens acquisition during the three months ended June 30, 2018, and ~~six~~$927,000 of such expenses during the nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, ~~respectively,~~and $131 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017.

The acquisition expanded the bank's presence in the Atlanta market with four branches in Cobb County.

The Company acquired $300.8 million of net loans receivable, and assumed $333.7 million of deposits. Goodwill of $25.5 million, which is the excess of the merger consideration over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired, was recorded in the CBS acquisition and is the result of expected operational synergies and other factors. A portion of this goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

No loans were recognized as credit impaired in the acquisition.

At June 30, 2018 the Company had approximately $85,000 of gross unrealized losses on private-label mortgage securities with aggregate amortized cost of approximately $2.1 million. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has no other-than-temporary impairment losses in its portfolio of investment securities available for sale.

Regularly, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances to indicate that a security on which there is an unrealized loss is impaired other-than-temporarily. The assessment considers many factors including the severity and duration of the impairment, the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for recovery in value, recent events specific to the industry, and current characteristics of each security such as delinquency and foreclosure levels, credit enhancements, and projected losses and loss coverage ratios. It is possible that the underlying collateral of these securities will perform worse than current expectations, which may lead to adverse changes in cash flows on these securities and potential future other-than-temporary impairment losses. Events that may trigger material declines in fair values for these securities in the future include but are not limited to, deterioration of credit metrics, significantly higher levels of default and severity of loss on the underlying collateral, deteriorating credit enhancement and loss coverage ratios, or further illiquidity. All of these securities were evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment based on an analysis of the factors and characteristics of each security as previously enumerated. The Company considers these unrealized losses to be temporary impairment losses primarily because of continued sufficient levels of credit enhancements and credit coverage levels of less senior tranches to tranches held by the Company.

Loan Origination and Risk Management. The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions.

Commercial real estate loans are generally made by the Company to entities in Georgia, Alabama, Florida and adjoining states and are secured by properties in these states. Commercial real estate lending involves different risks compared to one- to four-family residential lending. Repayment of commercial real estate loans often depends on the successful operations and income stream of the borrowers, and commercial real estate loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to residential real estate loans. The Company’s underwriting criteria for commercial real estate loans include maximum loan-to-value ratios, debt coverage ratios, secondary sources of repayment, guarantor requirements, net worth requirements and quality of cash flow. As part of the loan approval and underwriting of commercial real estate loans, management undertakes a cash flow analysis, and generally requires a debt-service coverage ratio of at least 1.15 times. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, approximately 3132.71% of the outstanding principal balance of the Company’s commercial real estate loans was secured by owner-occupied properties.

The Company makes construction and land development loans primarily for the construction of one- to four-family residences but also for multi-family and nonresidential real estate projects on a select basis. The Company offers construction loans to builders including both speculative (unsold) and pre-sold loans to pre-approved local builders. The number of speculative loans that management will extend to a builder at one time depends upon the financial strength and credit history of the builder. The Company’s construction loan program is expected to remain a modest portion of the loan volume, and management generally limits the number of outstanding loans on unsold homes under construction within a specific area.

The Company also originates first and second mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit secured by one- to four-family residential properties within Georgia, Alabama and the Florida panhandle. Management currently originates mortgages at all branch locations, but utilizes a centralized underwriting location to reduce risk. The Company originates both fixed rate and adjustable rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Fixed rate 30-year conforming loans are generally originated for sale into the primary or secondary markets and loans that are non-conforming due to property exceptions and that have adjustable rates are generally retained in the Company’s portfolio. The non-conforming loans originated are not considered to be subprime loans and the amount of subprime and low documentation loans held by the Company is not material. The Company also offers home equity lines of credit as a complement to one- to four-family residential mortgage lending. The underwriting standards applicable to home equity credit lines are similar to those for one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, except for slightly more stringent credit-to-income and credit score requirements. Home equity loans are generally limited to 90% of the value of the underlying property unless the loan is covered by private mortgage insurance. At June 30, 2018, the Company had $44.8 million of home equity lines of credit and second mortgage loans.

adjustable rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Fixed rate 30-year conforming loans are generally originated for sale into the primary or secondary markets and loans that are non-conforming due to property exceptions and that have adjustable rates are generally retained in the Company’s portfolio.

At March 31, 2018, the Company had $44.8 million of home equity lines of credit and second mortgage loans.

The Company originates consumer loans that consist of loans on deposits, auto loans, purchased mobile home loans, and various other installment loans. The Company primarily offers consumer loans as an accommodation to customers. Consumer loans tend to have a higher credit risk than residential mortgage loans because they may be secured by rapidly depreciable assets, or may be unsecured. The Company’s consumer lending generally follows accepted industry standards for non-subprime lending, including credit scores and debt to income ratios.

The Company’s commercial business loans are generally limited to terms of ten years or less. While management typically collateralizes these loans with a lien on commercial real estate or, much less frequently, with a lien on business assets and equipment, the primary underwriting consideration is the business cash flow. Management also generally requires the personal guarantee of the business owner. Interest rates on commercial business loans are generally higher than interest rates on residential or commercial real estate loans due to the risk inherent in this type of loan. Commercial business loans are generally considered to have more risk than residential mortgage loans or commercial real estate loans because the collateral may be in the form of intangible assets and/or readily depreciable inventory. Commercial business loans may also involve relatively large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers, with the repayment of such loans typically dependent on the successful operation and income stream of the borrower. Such risks can be significantly affected by economic conditions. In addition, commercial business lending generally requires substantially greater supervision efforts by management compared to residential mortgage or commercial real estate lending.

The Company also has a portfolio of Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans, which are generally related to commercial lending. Each loan has either a portion guaranteed by the SBA or other credit enhancements provided by the government.

The Company maintains an internal loan review function that reviews and validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis. Results of these reviews are presented to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.

Loans are classified as restructured by the Company when certain modifications are made to the loan terms and concessions are granted to the borrowers due to financial difficulty experienced by those borrowers. The Company only restructures loans for borrowers in financial difficulty that have presented a viable business plan to fully pay off all obligations, including outstanding debt, interest, and fees, either by generating additional income from the business or through liquidation of assets. Generally, these loans are restructured to provide the borrower additional time to execute upon their plans. The concessions granted on TDRs generally include terms to reduce the interest rate or extend the term of the debt obligation.

Loans on nonaccrual status at the date of modification are initially classified as nonaccrual TDRs. Loans on accruing status at the date of concession are initially classified as accruing TDRs if the loan is reasonably assured of repayment and performance is expected in accordance with its modified terms. Such loans may be designated as nonaccrual loans subsequent to the concession date if reasonable doubt exists as to the collection of interest or principal under the restructuring agreement. TDRs are returned to accruing status when there is economic substance to the restructuring, there is documented credit evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition, the remaining balance is reasonably assured of repayment in accordance with its modified terms, and the borrower has demonstrated sustained repayment performance in accordance with the modified terms for a reasonable period of time (generally a minimum of six months).

For the ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and 2017, the following table presents a breakdown of the types of concessions determined to be TDRs during the period by loan class.

Credit Quality Indicators. As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including the level of classified loans, net charge-offs, nonperforming loans (see details above) and the general economic conditions in its market areas.

The Company utilizes a risk rating system to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 8. The risk grade for each individual loan is determined by the loan officer and other approving officers at the time of loan origination and is adjusted from time to time to reflect an ongoing assessment of loan risk. Risk grades are reviewed quarterly for all substandard, nonaccrual and TDR loans, and annually as part of the Company's internal loan review process. In addition, individual loan risk grades are reviewed in connection with all renewals, extensions and modifications.

The following table presents the risk grades of the loan portfolio, segregated by class of loans:

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense and is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectability of loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, historical loss rates, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions and trends that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance.

Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance.

Management’s allowance for loan losses methodology is a loan classification-based system. Management bases the required reserve on a percentage of the loan balance for each type of loan and classification level. Loans may be classified manually and are automatically classified if they are not previously classified when they reach certain levels of delinquency. Unclassified loans are reserved at different percentages based on the loan loss history of the last seven years. Reserve percentages are also adjusted based upon our estimate of the effect that the current economic environment will have on each type of loan.

Management segments its allowance for loan losses into the following four major categories: (1) specific reserves; (2) general allowances for Classified/Watch loans; (3) general allowances for loans with satisfactory ratings; and (4) an unallocated amount. Risk ratings are initially assigned in accordance with CharterBank’s loan and collection policy. An organizationally independent department reviews risk grade assignments on an ongoing basis. Management reviews current information and events regarding a borrowers’ financial condition and strengths, cash flows available for debt repayment, the related collateral supporting the loan and the effects of known and expected economic conditions. When the evaluation reflects a greater than normal risk associated with the individual loan, management classifies the loan accordingly. If the loan is determined to be impaired, management allocates a portion of the allowance for loan losses for that loan based on the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is considered collateral-dependent, as the measure for the amount of the impairment. Impaired and Classified/Watch loans are aggressively monitored.

The allowances for loans by credit grade are further subdivided by loan type. Charter Financial has developed specific quantitative allowance factors to apply to each loan which considers loan charge-off experience over the most recent seven years by loan type. In addition, loss estimates are applied for certain qualitative allowance factors that are subjective in nature and require considerable judgment on the part of management. Such qualitative factors include economic and business conditions, the volume of past due loans, changes in the value of collateral of collateral-dependent loans, and other economic uncertainties. An unallocated component of the allowance is also established for potential losses that exist in the remainder of the portfolio, but have yet to be identified.

The Company incorporates certain refinements and improvements to its allowance for loan losses methodology from time to time. During the current quarter and the prior fiscal year, the Company made minor refinements to the qualitative risk factors but no significant changes to its allowance methodology. The adjustments in the Company's methodology were not material to the overall allowance or provision for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 or for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.

An unallocated allowance is generally maintained in a range of 4% to 12% of the total allowance in recognition of the imprecision of the estimates and other factors. In times of greater economic downturn and uncertainty, the higher end of this range is provided.

The Company recorded net recoveries of $~~382~~768,~~481~~239 during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. With asset quality remaining strong, and the continued trend of net recoveries, the Company recorded ~~a $350,000~~ negative provision for loan losses ~~during~~of ~~the~~$350,000 ~~three~~ and ~~six~~$900,000 during the nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. Aand ~~negative~~2017. No provision offor ~~$900,000~~loan losses was recorded ~~during~~for the ~~fiscal~~three ~~year~~months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2018 or 2017,. ~~while~~A negative ~~provisions~~provision of $~~150,000 and $~~900,000 ~~were~~was recorded during the ~~three~~fiscal ~~and~~year ~~six months~~ ended ~~March~~September 3130, 2017~~, respectively~~.

The following tables present an analysis of the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment and changes in the allowance for loan losses for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and 2017. The total allowance for loan losses is disaggregated into those amounts associated with loans individually evaluated and those associated with loans collectively evaluated, as well as loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality.

Note 7: Income Per Share

Basic net income per share for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and 2017 was computed by dividing net income to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, which consists of issued shares less unallocated employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) shares and unvested restricted shares.

Diluted net income per share for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and 2017 was computed by dividing net income by weighted average shares outstanding plus potential common shares resulting from dilutive stock options and unvested restricted shares, determined using the treasury stock method.

Note 8: Employee Benefits

The Company has a 2002 stock option plan which allows for stock option awards of the Company’s common stock to eligible directors and key employees of the Company. The option price is determined by a committee of the board of directors at the time of the grant and may not be less than 100% of the market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. For options granted under the 2002 stock option plan, when granted, the options vest over periods of up to four or five years from grant date or upon death, disability, or qualified retirement. All options must be exercised within a 10-year period from grant date. The Company may grant either incentive stock options, which qualify for special federal income tax treatment, or non-qualified stock options, which do not receive such tax treatment. The Company’s stockholders ~~have~~ authorized 882,876 shares for the plan, of which ~~195~~358,~~273~~596 have been issued or retired upon the exercise of the option granted under the plan, ~~520~~362,~~700~~830 ~~are~~have been granted and are outstanding and no shares are available to be granted at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 within this plan. All share and share amounts related to employee benefits have been updated to reflect the completion of the second-step conversion on April 8, 2013 at a conversion ratio of 1.2471. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, ~~618~~631,~~783~~004 shares have vested under this plan. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, no12,221 options from this plan vested.

In addition to the plan above, on December 19, 2013, the Company's stockholders approved the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, which allows for stock option awards of the Company’s common stock to eligible directors and key employees of the Company. The option price is determined by a committee of the board of directors at the time of the grant and may not be less than 100% of the market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. When granted, the options vest from one year to five years from grant date or upon death or disability. All options must be exercised within a 10-year period from the grant date. The Company may grant either incentive stock options, which qualify for special federal income tax treatment, or non-qualified stock options, which do not receive such tax treatment. The Company’s stockholders have authorized 1,428,943 shares for the plan, of which 1992,~~182~~486 were issued or retired upon the exercise of the option granted under the plan and 1943,~~016,498~~464 ~~were~~have been granted and are outstanding as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, with the remaining 393,263 shares available to be granted at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, ~~194~~197,~~335~~935 options from this plan vested. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, ~~789~~793,~~940~~540 shares have vested under this plan.

The fair value of the 20,000 options granted during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions:



	20,000 Options

Risk-free interest rate	1.90		%
Dividend yield	1.76		%
Expected life at date of grant (months)	96 months
Volatility	18.87		%

Note 9: Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the normal course of business, the Company makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The commitments and contingent liabilities include guarantees, commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit totaled $~~252~~249.84 million. The Company does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions.

Table of Contents

In the normal course of business, the Company is party (both as plaintiff and defendant) to certain matters of litigation. In the opinion of management, none of these matters, with the possible exception of matters discussed below, should have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

Two putative class action complaints have been filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against the Company and its directors alleging violations of securities laws and SEC rules in the filing of the Company's proxy statement/prospectus on July 18, 2018. Each complaint names the Company and all of the current members of the Company's board of directors as defendants, and one also names CenterState as a defendant. The complaints allege that the proxy statement/prospectus contains false and misleading statements and omits material information with respect to the proposed transaction. Additionally, the complaints assert claims against the Company's board of directors, as well as CenterState, for violations of Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act as controlling persons of the Company.

Both lawsuits seek, among other things, to enjoin the closing of the Merger, as well as an award of costs and attorneys' fees. One lawsuit also seeks to enjoin the stockholder vote with respect to the Merger. The defendants believe these actions are without merit and intend to defend vigorously against the claims. See “Part II - Item 1 Legal Proceedings” for further information on the claims.

Note 10: Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement

Accounting standards define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting standards also establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The applicable standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1- Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date; Level 2- Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; Level 3- Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company evaluates fair value measurement inputs on an ongoing basis in order to determine if there is a change of sufficient significance to warrant a transfer between levels. For example, changes in market activity or the addition of new unobservable inputs could, in the Company’s judgment, cause a transfer to either a higher or lower level. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, there were no transfers between levels.

All of the Company’s available for sale securities fall into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. These securities are priced via independent service providers. In obtaining such valuation information, the Company has evaluated the valuation methodologies used to develop the fair values.

At ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, the Company holds, as part of its investment portfolio, available for sale securities reported at fair value consisting of state and municipal securities, collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”), mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. The fair value of the majority of these securities is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including matrix pricing and broker-quote based applications. Inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, prepayment speeds and other relevant items. These are inputs used by a third-party pricing service used by the Company. To validate the appropriateness of the valuations provided by the third party, the Company regularly updates its understanding of the inputs used and compares valuations to an additional third party source.

The Company also holds assets available for sale reported at fair value and included in other assets on the Company's balance sheet, consisting of one former branch and a parcel of land adjacent to a current branch. These assets are included in other assets on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The fair value of these assets is determined using current appraisals adjusted at management’s discretion to reflect any decline in the fair value of the properties since the time the appraisal was performed. Appraisal values are reviewed and monitored internally and fair value is reassessed at least quarterly or more frequently when circumstances occur that indicate a change in fair value. All of the Company’s assets held for sale fall into level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, since Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 components, observable components (that is, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources), the losses below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of Level 3 assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

Loans considered impaired are loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments to reflect write-downs that are based on the market price or current appraised value of the collateral, adjusted to reflect local market conditions or other economic factors. After evaluating the underlying collateral, the fair value of the impaired loans is determined by allocating specific reserves from the allowance for loan and lease losses to the loans. Thus, the fair value reflects the loan balance as adjusted by partial chargedowns less the specifically allocated reserve. Certain collateral-dependent impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral, which is typically derived from appraisals that take into consideration prices in observed transactions involving similar assets and similar locations. Each appraisal is updated on an annual basis, either through a new appraisal or through the Company’s comprehensive internal review process. Appraised values are reviewed and monitored internally and fair value is re-assessed at least quarterly or more frequently when circumstances occur that indicate a change in fair value. The fair value of impaired loans that are not collateral dependent is measured using a discounted cash flow analysis considered to be a Level 3 input.

OREO is initially accounted for at fair value, less estimated costs to dispose of the property. Any excess of the recorded investment over fair value, less costs to dispose, is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses at the time of foreclosure. A provision is charged to earnings for subsequent losses on OREO when market conditions indicate such losses have occurred. The ability of the Company to recover the carrying value of OREO is based upon future sales of the real estate. The ability to effect such sales is subject to market conditions and other factors beyond the Company's control, and future declines in the value of the real estate would result in a charge to earnings. The recognition of sales and gain on sales is dependent upon whether the nature and terms of the sales, including possible future involvement of the Company, if any, meet certain defined requirements. If those requirements are not met, sale and gain recognition is deferred. OREO represents real property taken by the Company either through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu thereof from the borrower. The fair value of OREO is based on property appraisals adjusted at management’s discretion to reflect a further decline in the fair value of properties since the time the appraisal analysis was performed. It has been the Company’s experience that appraisals may become outdated due to the volatile real-estate environment. Appraised values are reviewed and monitored internally and fair value is re-assessed at least quarterly or more frequently when circumstances occur that indicate a change in fair value. Therefore, the inputs used to determine the fair value of OREO and repossessed assets fall

Table of Contents

within Level 3. The Company may include within OREO other repossessed assets received as partial satisfaction of a loan. These assets are not material and do not typically have readily determinable market values and are considered Level 3 inputs.

The following table provides information describing the valuation processes used to determine recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018:

	Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
	Fair Value		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	General Range (Discount)			Weighted Average Discount
Impaired Loans	$	1,~~652~~538,~~887~~957	Property appraisals	Management discount for property type and recent market volatility	2023%	—	8066%	3832%

Included in the Company's portfolio of other real estate owned is approximately $~~303~~228,000 and $224,000 of foreclosed residential real estate property at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The Company had no consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate in the process of foreclosure at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, while $195,000 in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate were in the process of foreclosure at September 30, 2017.

Accounting standards require disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the Statement of Condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Also, the fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and September 30, 2017.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS – The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT HELD AT OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS – The fair value of certificates of deposit held at other financial institutions is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

INVESTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR SALE, FHLB STOCK, AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES – The fair value of investment and mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations available for sale is estimated based on bid quotations received from securities dealers. The FHLB stock and restricted securities are considered restricted stock and are carried at cost which approximates their fair value.

LOANS RECEIVABLE – Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type. The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit risk inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on the Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of the current economic and lending conditions.

Fair value for significant nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals. If appraisals are not available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows, and discount rates are determined using available market information and specific borrower information.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE – Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The fair values of loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics.

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS – The Company has the rights to service a portfolio of Fannie Mae ("“FNMA"”) and other government guaranteed loans sold on a servicing retained basis. Servicing rights are measured at fair value when the loan is sold

Table of Contents

and subsequently measured at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing Level 2 inputs. Management uses a model operated and maintained by a third party to calculate the present value of future cash flows using the third party's market-based assumptions. The future cash flows for each asset are based on the asset's unique characteristics and the third party's market-based assumptions for prepayment speeds, default and voluntary prepayments. Adjustments to fair value are recorded as a component of "Gain on sale of loans" in the consolidated statements of income.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE – The fair value of assets held for sale by the Company is generally based on the most recent appraisals of the asset or other market information as it becomes available to management.

DEPOSITS – The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, money market and checking accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

BORROWINGS – The fair value of the Company’s FHLB advances is estimated based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximates the carrying amount because of the short maturity of these borrowings. The discount rate is estimated using rates quoted for the same or similar issues or the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.

FLOATING RATE JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT - The fair value of the Company's floating rate junior subordinated debt is based primarily upon discounted cash flows using rates for securities with similar terms and remaining maturities.

ACCRUED INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS RECEIVABLE AND PAYABLE – The carrying amount of accrued interest and dividends receivable on loans and investments and payable on borrowings and deposits approximate their fair values.

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT – The value of these unrecognized financial instruments is estimated based on the fee income associated with the commitments which, in the absence of credit exposure, is considered to approximate their settlement value. Since no significant credit exposure existed, and because such fee income is not material to the Company's financial statements at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and at September 30, 2017, the fair value of these commitments is not presented.

Many of the Company's assets and liabilities are short-term financial instruments whose carrying amounts reported in the Statement of Condition approximate fair value. These items include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing bank balances, federal funds sold, other short-term borrowings and accrued interest receivable and payable balances. The estimated fair value of the Company’s remaining on-balance sheet financial instruments as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 is summarized below:

Note 11: Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the United States Government enacted the Tax Act. The Tax Act amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to reduce tax rates and modify policies, credits, and deductions for individuals and businesses. For businesses, the Tax Act reduces the corporate federal tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate. The corporate tax rate reduction was effective January 1, 2018. Because the Company operates with a fiscal year end of September 30, the reduced tax rate will result in the application of a blended federal statutory tax rate of 24.5% for its fiscal year 2018 and then a flat 21% thereafter.

Under GAAP, the Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. At September 30, 2017, the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities, which netted to a total $6.0 million deferred tax asset, were determined based on the then-current enacted federal tax rate of 35%. As a result of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate under the Tax Act, the Company revalued its deferred tax assets and liabilities at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. Deferred tax assets and liabilities expected to be realized in fiscal year 2018 were re-measured using the aforementioned blended rate. All remaining deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured using the new statutory federal rate of 21%. These re-measurements collectively resulted in a discrete tax expense of $4940,000 and $1.5 million that was recognized during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, respectively. The Company's revaluation of its deferred tax assets and liabilities is subject to further clarification of the Tax Act and refinement of its estimates. As a result, the actual impact on the deferred tax assets and liabilities and income tax expense due to the Tax Act may vary from the amounts currently estimated.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, the Company also reclassified $1.4 million of its former deferred tax asset to its current tax ~~receivable~~payable, reported as part of Other ~~assets~~liabilities in the Company's ~~balance~~statement ~~sheet~~of financial condition, due to a change in recognition method.

Table of Contents

The Company's estimated deferred tax assets and liabilities at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and actual deferred tax assets and liabilities at September 30, 2017 are presented below:

	March 31, 2018		September 30, 2017
	June 30, 2018		September 30, 2017
Gross deferred tax assets	$	67,~~647~~320,~~578~~418	$	9,709,150
Gross deferred tax liabilities	23,~~876~~443,~~121~~490		3,738,868
Net deferred tax assets	$	3,~~771~~876,~~457~~928	$	5,970,282

The Company's effective tax rate was 2730.7394% and 3634.0849% for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, respectively, and is estimated to be 3133.4701% for the full fiscal year 2018.

Taxes on income and the related impact on the Company's effective income tax rate for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 are shown below:

	Amount		Percentage of Income Before Taxes

Note 12: Subsequent Events

On April 24, 2018, the Company and CenterState Bank Corporation, a Florida corporation ("CenterState"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") whereby the Company will be merged with and into CenterState (the "Merger"). Pursuant to and simultaneously with entering into the Merger Agreement, CharterBank and CenterState's wholly owned subsidiary bank, CenterState Bank, N.A. ("CenterState Bank"), entered into a Plan of Merger and Merger Agreement whereby CharterBank will be merged with and into CenterState Bank immediately following the Merger (the "Bank Merger").

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Charter common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be entitled to receive 0.738 shares of CenterState common stock and a cash amount equal to $2.30, provided that cash in lieu of any fractional shares of CenterState common stock will be paid. Each outstanding share of CenterState stock shall remain outstanding and unaffected by the Merger. Each option to purchase shares of Charter common stock will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product (i) of the number of shares of Charter common stock underlying such option and (ii) $23.00 minus the exercise price per share under such option. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, all shares of Charter restricted stock shall vest in full and shall be treated like all other issued and outstanding shares of Charter common stock. As of the announcement date on April 24, 2018, based on CenterState's closing stock price of $27.72, the total merger consideration amounted to $360.1 million, or approximately $22.76 per share.

The Merger Agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of the Company and CenterState, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018 subject to customary conditions, including receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals and the approval of the stockholders of the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations at and for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and 2017 is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “potential, ” “seek,” or similar expressions. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company include, but are not limited to, business disruption as a result of the Company's pending merger with CenterState; diversion of management's time on issues relating to the Merger; the failure to obtain regulatory approvals required to complete the Merger, or that required regulatory approvals may delay the Merger or result in the imposition of conditions that could reduce the anticipated benefits from the Merger or cause the parties to abandon the Merger; the risk that the required stockholder approval may not be obtained; the failure to complete the Merger with CenterState on a timely basis or at all; fluctuations in CenterState's stock price prior to the completion of the Merger; the reaction of our customers and employees to the Merger; litigation risks related to the transaction, including the two lawsuits filed to date regarding the transaction; general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected; competition among depository and other financial institutions; changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; adverse changes in the securities markets; changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements; our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities, including identifying suitable acquisition opportunities; the adverse effect of a breach of our computer system; our ability to successfully integrate acquired entities; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies and the Financial Accounting Standards Board; and changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans. Additional factors are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017 under Part I Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Overview

Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, investment securities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other interest-earning assets (primarily cash and cash equivalents), and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and FHLB advances.

Our principal business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and investing those funds primarily in loans. We make commercial real estate loans, loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences, consumer loans, loans secured by first mortgages on non-owner-occupied one- to four-family residences, construction loans secured by one- to four-family residences, commercial business loans and multi-family real estate loans. While our primary business is the origination of loans funded through retail deposits, we also invest in certain investment securities and mortgage-backed securities, and use FHLB advances and other borrowings as additional funding sources or for contingency funding.

The Company is significantly affected by prevailing general and local economic conditions, particularly market interest rates, and by government policies concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs and the federal regulation of financial institutions. Following the November 2016 presidential election, small business and investor optimism have risen considerably, though the long term impact of the new administration's policies remains to be determined. Deposit balances are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing personal investment products, the level of personal income, and the personal rate of savings within our market areas. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for housing and other loans, changing loan underwriting guidelines, as well as interest rate pricing competition from other lending institutions. The primary sources of funds for lending activities include deposits, loan repayments, investment income, borrowings, and funds provided from operations.

On a weekly basis, management reviews deposit flows, loan demand, cash levels, and changes in several market rates to assess all pricing strategies. Generally, deposit pricing is based upon a survey of competitors in the Bank’s market areas, and the need to attract funding and retain maturing deposits.

The Company's stockholder value strategy focuses on creating earnings and stockholder value through increasing capital leverage, operating leverage, and expanding into more dynamic markets. In recent years, through acquisitions and strategic de novo branching, the Company has expanded further into Metro Atlanta, as well as into Florida.

Net income was $4.6 million, or $0.32 and $0.30 per basic and diluted share, respectively, and $14.3 million, or $0.99 and $0.94 per basic and diluted share, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to $3.5 million, or $0.24 and $0.23 per basic and diluted share, and $11.9 million, or $0.83 and $0.78 per basic and diluted share, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

Proposed Merger with CenterState Bank Corporation

On April 24, 2018, the Company announced it had entered into the Merger Agreement with CenterState, whereby the Company will be merged with and into CenterState, immediately followed by the merger of CharterBank with and into CenterState Bank.

Atlanta Metro Expansion

On September 1, 2017, the Company took its next step in its Atlanta Metro expansion strategy by completing its acquisition of Resurgens Bancorp ~~("Resurgens")~~, the parent company of Resurgens Bank. Resurgens operated two branches in Tucker and Decatur, Georgia, inside the I-285 loop, a key expansion target for the Company. The acquisition added $177.5 million of total assets, including $128.8 million of net loans, and $151.7 million of liabilities, including $138.0 million of total deposits, to the Company's balance sheet.

The Resurgens transaction complemented the Company's prior moves into the market area, including the 2007 Norcross loan processing office opening, the 2009 and 2010 FDIC-assisted acquisitions of Neighborhood Community Bank ("“NCB"”) and McIntosh Commercial Bank ("“MCB"”), the April 2016 CBS Financial Corporation ~~("CBS")~~ acquisition and the January 2017 Buckhead branch opening. The Resurgens acquisition was the seventh wethe ~~have~~Company has completed since 1999, and the fifth since 2009. Metro Atlanta now accounts for 5756% of ~~our~~the Company's loans and 51% of ~~our~~its deposits. This mix should provide further opportunities for growth and expansion throughout the demographically desirable Metro Atlanta market.

Leveraging its capital and operational structure through strategic acquisitions has been a cornerstone of the Company's growth strategy, especially since its stock conversion completed in April 2013. As shown in the graph below, the flexibility brought on by that capital infusion has allowed the Company to transition from a traditional thrift balance sheet with a stock driven largely by book value to a bank-like balance sheet with a stock driven largely by earnings as the Company has expanded its footprint to several thriving, new markets.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

On December 22, 2017, President Donald Trump signed into law the Tax Act. Under the Tax Act, federal corporate tax rates were cut to 21% from 35%. The Company's net deferred tax assets, which totaled $6.0 million at September 30, 2017, were calculated using the previous statutory rate of 35%. Because of the change, the Company revalued the net deferred tax asset and recorded an estimated expense of $1.5 million, or approximately $0.10 per basic and diluted share, respectively, as an addition to income tax expense during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. The Company is utilizing the measurement period approach, including estimating deferral amounts that will be realized during fiscal 2018 at the blended 24.5% statutory rate, to revalue its deferred tax asset, so the amount may change prior to fiscal year end at September 30, 2018.

In spite of the one-time charge, the Company expects to realize significant savings as a result of the tax rate changes from the Tax Act. Management's calculations estimate that the new rate would have reduced the Company's income tax expense $3.0 million during the previous fiscal year under full implementation of the 21% rate. Due to the Company's fiscal year, our income taxes will be calculated at a blended 24.5% federal statutory rate for the current fiscal year and 21% for future fiscal years. The new, blended tax rate is expected to reduce income tax expense by approximately $2.56 million as compared to the prior rate during the current year, with greater reductions in future years when the new rate is fully implemented. The rate change reduced expense $12.52 million, or $0.1015 and $0.14 per basic and diluted share, respectively, in regular tax accruals during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assessments by management, and which could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. As discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Company considers its critical accounting policies to be the allowance for loan losses, business combinations, other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, real estate owned, goodwill and other intangible assets, deferred income taxes, and estimation of fair value. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018.

Comparison of Financial Condition at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and September 30, 2017

Assets. Total assets ~~increased~~decreased $1314.83 million from September 30, 2017 to $1.76 billion at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. This ~~increase~~decrease in assets was due primarily to ~~increases~~a decline of $26.6 million in ~~deposits~~the ~~and~~Company's ~~paydowns~~portfolio onof investment securities available for sale, as well as a decrease of $21.4 million in deposits and the ~~resulting~~corresponding ~~increase~~outflow inof cash. Net loans increased $2.62 million, or 0.2%, to $1.2 billion at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $2718.16 million to $~~179~~170.49 million at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, up from $152.3 million at September 30, 2017. This increase was primarily due to a $1037.19 million ~~increase~~ in ~~deposits and a combined $21.3 million in~~ principal collections, sales and calls of investment securities available for sale, partially offset by ~~outlays~~a ofdecline ~~cash~~ of $1421.94 million toin ~~purchase investment securities available for sale as well as our increased loan balances~~deposits.

Loans. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, net loans were $1.2 billion, or 6970.68% of total assets. The increase of $2.62 million, or 0.2%, was attributable to ~~typical~~slower ~~seasonal~~than ~~slow~~usual loan growth ~~during~~as ~~the~~a ~~first~~result ~~two~~of ~~quarters~~paydowns and a slowing of ~~the~~refinancing ~~Company's~~due ~~fiscal~~to ~~year~~higher interest rates.

Investment Securities Portfolio. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, our investment securities portfolio totaled $~~174~~157.52 million, compared to $183.8 million at September 30, 2017. The decrease was attributable to $925.06 million in principal paydowns, $12.3 million in maturities or calls, and a $2.38 million increase in unrealized losses on available for sale securities. These decreases were offset ~~partially~~in part by the purchase of $14.9 million in securities during the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal 2018.

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, there is no other-than-temporary impairment in the Company's portfolio of investment securities available for sale.

Bank Owned Life Insurance. We invest in bank owned life insurance to provide us with a funding source for our benefit plan obligations. Bank owned life insurance also generally provides us noninterest income that is non-taxable. The total cash surrender values of bank owned life insurance policies at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and September 30, 2017 were $54.25 million and $53.5 million, respectively.

Deposits. Total deposits ~~increased~~decreased $1021.14 million to $1.3 billion at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. The ~~increase~~decrease was attributable to a $2837.03 million ~~increase~~decrease in retail certificates of deposits, offset in part by increases of $12.7 million in transaction accounts and an $116.27 million ~~increase~~ in money market deposit accounts during the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal 2018,. ~~reflecting~~The ~~the~~decline ~~success~~in retail certificates of deposit was attributable in part to the Company's ~~marketing~~electing ~~efforts~~to ~~for~~maintain ~~increasing~~its ~~checking~~net ~~and~~interest ~~money~~margin ~~market~~at ~~accounts.~~the ~~These~~expense ~~increases~~of ~~were~~deposit ~~offset~~retention indue ~~part~~to byits acurrent ~~decrease~~strong ofliquidity position, as well as a $~~25.~~9.4 million decrease in ~~retail~~ certificates of deposit ~~during~~assumed in the ~~six~~Resurgens ~~months ended March 31, 2018~~acquisition.

Borrowings. Our borrowings consist of advances from the FHLB of Atlanta as well as floating rate junior subordinated debt assumed in the acquisition of CBS. FHLB borrowings totaled $60.0 million at both ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

Based upon actual collateral pledged, excluding cash, additional advances of $4250.42 million were available. In addition, securities available for sale with lendable collateral value of $4936.7 million were also available to be pledged at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018.

At ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, approximately $7975.46 million of credit was available to us at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta based on loan collateral pledged. The line of credit at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta was not used other than during periodic testing to ensure the line was functional.

Floating rate junior subordinated debt assumed in the CBS acquisition totaled $9.3 million, with purchase accounting discounts reducing the book value to $6.8 million and $6.7 million at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

Stockholders’ Equity. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, total stockholders’ equity totaled $~~221~~224.64 million, a $710.42 million increase from September 30, 2017 due to $914.63 million of net income and a $1.0 million increase from the release of the Company's ESOP shares, as well as $~~305~~509,000 of stock option exercises. These increases were partially offset by a $12.70 million increase in other comprehensive loss on the Company's portfolio of investment securities available for sale during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, as well as $23.25 million of dividends paid. The Company also reclassified $~~219~~245,000 of stranded tax effects from the revaluation of its deferred tax assets due to the Tax Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings as a result of its early adoption of ASU 2018-02. Book value per share increased to $14.6470 at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 from $14.17 at September 30, 2017. Tangible book value, a non-GAAP measure (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further information), increased to $11.8392 per share at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 compared with $11.33 per share at September 30, 2017. Equity was at 13.4080% of total assets at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, while the Company's tangible common equity ratio, a non-GAAP measure (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further information), was at 11.1149%.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and ~~March~~June 3130, 2017

General. Net income increased $1.91 million to $54.26 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 from $3.35 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017.

increase in loans receivable income and a $376,000 increase in interest income on interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, partially offset by a $414,000 increase in deposits expense. Return on equity was 118.8629% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared with 6.65% for the same quarter last year, while return on tangible equity (a non-GAAP financial measure) was 10.23%, up from 7.5884% for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017.

Interest Income. Total interest income increased $3.43 million, or 2523.29%, to $16.79 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Resurgens and associated increased loan balances and loan interest income, along with an increase of $~~273~~376,000 in interest income on interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions due to higher cash balances and the Federal Reserve's rate increases. The Company also saw a $~~441~~403,000 increase in accretion of acquired loan discounts during the current-year period due to additional accretion from Resurgens as well as $~~380~~296,000 of accretion income from the ~~payoff~~renewal of one ~~Resurgens~~CBS loan. The average balance of loans receivable for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 increased $~~153~~137.95 million to $1.2 billion, compared with $1.0 billion in the prior-year period, primarily attributable to the Resurgens acquisition in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, which brought in $128.8 million of net loans to the Company's portfolio. Yield on loans increased 4743 basis points to 5.2122% during the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, compared to 4.7479% during the prior-year period primarily due to the increased yields on the acquired loans from Resurgens as well as higher yields on legacy loans due to the rising rate environment.

The table below shows acquired loan discount accretion included in income over the past ~~six~~five years and for the quarters ended ~~March~~June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, and the remaining discount to be recognized as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2018:

(1)	Based on revised estimated cash flows related to previously covered loans, $2.4 million of the FDIC indemnification asset was amortized as an offset to loan interest income in the year ended September 30, 2015 and $3.5 million in the year ended September 30, 2014. Loss share agreements with the FDIC were terminated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.

Interest on taxable investment securities, which consisted of taxable state and municipal securities, CLOs, mortgage-backed securities and private-label mortgage securities, decreased $~~108~~15,000 to $~~996,000~~1.0 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $1517.95 million in the average balance of taxable securities. Interest on nontaxable investment securities, which consisted of nontaxable state and municipal securities, was $3,000 for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, compared to $5,000 for the prior-year quarter, as the average balance of such securities declined $~~533~~531,000.

Interest on interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions increased $~~273~~376,000 to $~~486~~612,000 for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, compared to the same period last year due to a $2039.26 million increase in the average balance of such deposits combined with the Federal Reserve's continued rate increases. The yield on such deposits increased 7380 basis points to 1.5472% for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 compared to 0.8192% for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017.

Interest on certificates of deposits held at other financial institutions was $2117,000 during the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, compared to $3931,000 during the prior-year quarter due to a drop of $64.24 million in the average balance of such deposits.

Dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased $1218,000 to $5358,000 for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 from $40,000 for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017 due primarily to a 109 basis point increase in yield on the securities to 5.67% and a $~~663~~590,000 increase in the average balance of such securities during the current quarter. Dividends on restricted securities, which are tied to the Company's investment in floating rate junior subordinated debt ~~assumed in the CBS acquisition~~, was relatively unchanged at $3,000 during the current quarter.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $~~326~~474,000 to $2.01 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, compared to $1.76 million for the prior year quarter. The increase was largely tied to aan ~~$96.2~~11 ~~million~~basis point increase in the average ~~balance~~cost of interest-bearing liabilities ~~during the quarter ended March 31, 2018~~ to $10.273% ~~billion,~~due ~~compared~~ to ~~$1.1 billion during~~ the ~~three~~rising ~~months~~rate ~~ended March 31~~environment, ~~2017,~~as ~~primarily~~well as a ~~result of the September 2017 Resurgens acquisition, in which the Company assumed~~ $~~138~~97.09 million ofincrease ~~deposits~~in ~~and~~the ~~$10.0~~average ~~million~~balance of ~~Federal~~interest-bearing ~~Home~~liabilities ~~Loan Bank advances, as well as a surge in legacy deposits~~ during the ~~first~~quarter ~~two~~ended ~~quarters~~June 30, of2018 ~~fiscal~~to ~~2017~~$1.2 ~~The~~billion, ~~cost~~compared ofto ~~liabilities~~$1.1 ~~increased~~billion ~~six basis points~~ during the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, ~~2018~~2017, ~~due~~primarily toas a ~~combination~~result of ~~higher-costing~~the ~~deposits~~September ~~assumed~~2017 ~~in the~~ Resurgens acquisition ~~as well as increased legacy deposit rates~~.

Interest expense on deposits increased $~~309~~414,000, or 2635.50%, to $1.56 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, compared to $1.2 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. The increase was primarily due to increases of 1726 basis points in the cost of money market deposit accounts and ~~eight~~15 basis points in the cost of certificates of deposit, as the Company's overall cost of interest bearing deposits increased ~~eight~~12 basis points to 0.5459% from 0.4647% for the prior-year quarter. There was also an increase of $8687.07 million, or 8.58%, in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. The increased average balances and average costs were both attributable to deposits assumed in the September 2017 Resurgens acquisition as well as ~~a surge in legacy deposits during the first two quarters of the prior year and~~ increased legacy deposit rates. The cost of CDs increased $~~134~~155,000, or 1517.9%, to $~~978,000~~1.0 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, from $~~844~~868,000 for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017, while the cost of money market deposit accounts increased $~~146~~231,000, or 74129.98%, from the prior-year period to $409,000.

Interest expense on FHLB advances was ~~relatively~~up ~~unchanged~~$40,000, ator 12.1%, to $~~363~~367,000 for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, ~~despite~~due to a $10.0 million increase in the average balance ~~due~~as toa ~~the~~result ~~renegotiation~~ of aadvances ~~$25.0~~assumed ~~million advance from 4.30% to 3.43%~~ in ~~March~~the acquisition of ~~2017~~Resurgens. AsThe ~~a result, the~~ Company's average cost of FHLB advances fell 4717 basis points to 2.4345% for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. Interest expense on the Company's floating rate junior subordinated debt was $~~140~~150,000 for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, at an average cost of 8.2981%, compared to $~~124~~129,000, or 7.4774%, during the prior-year quarter due to increased rates.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $32.08 million, or 2623.02%, to $14.78 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, from $1112.70 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. The net increase was due to an increase of $3.2.9 million in loans receivable income to $15.12 million for the current quarter compared to $1112.93 million for the prior year. Additionally, the year over year increase in average loans of $~~153~~137.95 million, resulting largely from the Resurgens acquisition during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, contributed to the increase in net interest income. These increases were partially offset by an increase of $~~309~~414,000 in deposits expense.

The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $9697.29 million, or 9.03%, during the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 compared to the prior year period, while total interest expense increased 1928.79%. As the table below indicates, our net interest margin increased 4638 basis points to 3.98% for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 from 3.5260% for the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased loan yields from the Resurgens acquisition and an increase in yield on our interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, while our net interest rate spread increased 34 basis points to 3.81% for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from 3.47% for the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The impact of purchase accounting on net interest margin was 0.17% for the quarter

due to increased loan yields from the Resurgens acquisition and an increase in yield on our interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, while our net interest rate spread increased 44 basis points to 3.84% for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 from 3.40% for the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The impact of purchase accounting on net interest margin was 0.23% for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 compared to 0.1105% for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, there was $2.93 million of discount remaining to accrete into interest income over the remaining lives of the acquired loans.

Provision for Loan Losses. ANo ~~negative~~ provision for loan losses ~~of $350,000~~ was recorded in the ~~quarter~~quarters ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 or 2017 due to the continued positive credit quality trends of the loan portfolio, as well as continuing net recoveries of previously charged-off loans. ~~During the prior-year period, a negative provision for loan losses of $150,000 was recorded.~~ Net recoveries for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 were $~~347~~386,000, compared to net recoveries of $~~156~~296,000 for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. The allowance for loan losses was $11.15 million, or 0.9699% of total loans receivable, at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. Our nonperforming loans decreased to $1.46 million, or 0.1214% of total loans, at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 from $1.68 million at ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. As a result, our allowance as a percent of nonperforming loans increased to ~~780~~714.6379% at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. See our discussion on the allowance for further information.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $~~417~~585,000, or 912.26%, to $5.02 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 compared to $4.56 million the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. The increase was largely attributable to an increase of $~~458~~373,000 in deposit and bankcard fees, reflecting the continued success of the Company's marketing efforts for checking accounts and signature debit card transactions. The Company's $1.57 million bankcard fee total for the current quarter, a 1217.81% increase over the prior-year quarter, was the ~~third~~fourth consecutive all-time quarterly high. Bank owned life insurance income increased $~~122~~33,000, or 4910.49%, ~~as a result of the discontinuation of an annual repricing on a portion of the Company's policies,~~ while other income increased $~~232~~127,000 due to a $~~114~~93,000 ~~gain on the receipt of reinsurance cash and a $79,000~~ quarterly incentive from the Company's bankcard vendor. ~~These increases were offset in part by $248,000 of gains on the sale of investment securities for sale during the prior-year~~

Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense increased $2.02 million, or 1819.56%, to $1213.73 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, compared to $1011.71 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. The overall increase was primarily attributable to $844,000 of acquisition expenses relating to the pending CenterState merger, as well as increased ongoing operational costs as a result of the Resurgens acquisition in September 2017, as the Company saw increases of $~~944~~519,000, $~~385~~393,000, and $~~421~~188,000, or 157.59%, 3134.60%, and 4217.02%, in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, and data processing, respectively. ~~The Company also recorded $618,000 of deal costs related to the Resurgens acquisition, largely concentrated in severance costs and data processing.~~ These increases were offset in part by a decline of $~~169~~90,000 in legal and professional fees, due primarily to a decline in problem assets.

Income Taxes. Income taxes ~~decreased~~increased to $2.01 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 from $2.30 million for the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. The ~~decrease~~increase was due to ~~the~~an ~~Company's~~increase ~~reduced~~in ~~tax rate as a result of the Tax Act, as~~ income before income taxes ~~increased~~of $1.72 million., ~~The Company recorded~~ a discrete charge to income tax expense of $4940,000 as a result of the revaluation of ~~its~~the Company's deferred tax assets due to the Tax Act, and nondeductible acquisition expenses from the pending CenterState merger. ~~The~~These increases were nearly offset by reduced rates from the Tax Act, as the Company's effective tax rate declined to 2730.7394% in the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 from 4036.7846% in the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. Net of the deferred tax asset revaluation charge, the Company's effective tax rate for the current

~~tax rate for the current~~ quarter was 2730.0535%. Throughout fiscal 2018 the Company has a blended statutory federal income tax rate of 24.5% due to its fiscal year, which declines to 21% for fiscal 2019 and beyond.

Comparison of Operating Results for the ~~Six~~Nine Months Ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and ~~March~~June 3130, 2017

General. Net income increased $12.34 million, or 1520.43%, to $914.63 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 from $811.49 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. The improvement was largely due to an increase of $57.19 million in net interest income due to higher balances as a result of the September 2017 Resurgens acquisition, along with an increase of $~~861~~1.2 million,~~000,~~ or 1312.8%, in deposit and bankcard fees. These increases were offset in part by a $1.5 million discrete charge to income tax expense as a result of the revaluation of the Company's deferred tax assets as a result of the Tax Act and a combined $~~927,000~~1.8 million of ~~merger-related~~acquisition ~~costs~~expenses from the Resurgens acquisition and pending CenterState merger. Basic and diluted net income per share for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 increased 1319.5628% and 1420.5551%, respectively, compared to the prior year period, as a result of higher income.

Interest Income. Total interest income increased to $3249.98 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, from $2740.28 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Resurgens and the resulting increased loan balances and interest income, as well as increased legacy loan yields due to the rising rate environment. The average balance of loans receivable increased $~~154~~148.37 million, or 1514.47%, to $1.2 billion for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, compared to $1.0 billion for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017, resulting in a $58.43 million, or 22.16%, increase in loans receivable income. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 3438 basis points during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 as compared to the same prior-year period.

The average yield on loans increased 34 basis points to 5.1618% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, compared to 4.8784% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. The higher average yield on loans for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 was attributable to higher-yielding loans acquired in the purchase of Resurgens, as well as a $52455,000 increase in accretion of acquired loan discounts due to $~~380~~676,000 of ~~additional~~cash accretion brought in during the current ~~quarter~~year due to apayoffs ~~payoff~~and renewals of ~~one~~acquired ~~Resurgens loan~~loans. There is $2.93 million of discount remaining on the CBS and Resurgens loans to accrete into interest income over the remaining life of all acquired loans, with the accretion heavily weighted towards early quarters based on current cash flow projections.

Interest on taxable investment securities decreased $~~140~~155,000 to $23.1 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 from $23.2 million for the corresponding prior year period, due primarily to a $1415.5 million decrease in the average balance of such securities, offset in part by aan 38 basis point increase in yields on such securities. Interest on nontaxable investment securities, which consisted of nontaxable state and municipal obligations, was $710,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, compared to $914,000 in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017 due to a decline of $~~533~~532,000 in the average balance of such securities.

Interest on interest earning deposits in other financial institutions increased $~~523~~899,000 to $~~847,000~~1.5 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 from $~~324~~560,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017 due to an increase of $2329.92 million, or 2328.3541%, in the average balance of such deposits, as well as the Federal Reserve's continued rate increases, as the yield on such deposits increased 75 basis points to 1.48%.

Dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased $2442,000 to $~~104~~162,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, compared to $80119,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017, due to a 2019.0802% increase in the average balance of such stock and an increase of 4264 basis points in yield on the securities.

Interest on certificates of deposit held at other financial institutions, ~~which were inherited from the acquisition of CBS,~~ declined $3650,000 to $4663,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, due to a drop of $65.36 million in the average balance of such securities.

Dividends on restricted securities, which are tied to the Company's investment in floating rate junior subordinated debt, increased $12,000 to $610,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, due to an increase of 7580 basis points in yield on the securities.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $~~632~~1.1 million,~~000,~~ or 1922.13%, to $46.01 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, compared to $35.30 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. Interest expense increased due to a $~~101~~100.74 million, or 9.65%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $1.2 billion during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, ~~partially~~and ~~offset~~an byeight ~~a five~~ basis point, or 712.9%, increase in the average cost of such liabilities to 0.6870% at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 from 0.6362% at ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. The Company saw significant growth in demand deposits and money market deposit accounts, both from legacy growth and the acquisition of Resurgens.

Interest expense on deposits increased $~~614~~1.0 million,~~000,~~ or 2629.43%, to $24.95 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, compared with the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017. The increase was due to a $9190.52 million, or 9.10%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $1.1 billion, as well as an eight basis point increase in average cost of deposits to 0.5455% for the current ~~six~~nine month period compared to 0.4647% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2017, reflecting higher market interest ~~rates as a result of the Federal Reserve's three recent rate increases and higher rates on the deposits the Company assumed in the acquisition of Resurgens.~~
