A Message from Ken Burgess

In this Annual Report to Shareholders, we are excited to showcase the amazing work our FirstCapital team performs in each of the markets we serve. Whether it be the Ronald McDonald House, Sheppard Military Affairs Committee, public school mentoring or the many other areas of our communities that we serve, our team members spend many hours working to help others and to make our communities better.

2019 was a significant year for First Bancshares. In February of 2019, First Bancshares completed the purchase of Fidelity Bank, expanding our Texas footprint and adding six branches in the Wichita Falls area. It has been an exciting year for our team as we worked to merge the accounting, operations and data systems of the two banks. We gained an outstanding group of people from the transaction who have been invaluable in the transition to a $1.7 billion institution.

We also expanded our loan production office in Dallas into a full-service branch in February 2019. Our exceptional team in that market has been extremely successful in a short period of time. At the close of 2019, the Dallas market boasted outstanding loan balances exceeding $80 million and deposits surpassing $16 million. Their performance greatly exceeded our expectations.

We continue to explore new opportunities for growth through acquisitions and organically. The financial services industry has changed dramatically since the financial crisis in 2007 and 2008 and asset size is now critical for financial and operational efficiency. We continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities and capital strategies to facilitate our continued growth, which could include an IPO in the future. However, many variables could affect these initiatives and the timing of any capital raises, including current market volatility and global and national economic conditions. Nonetheless, we believe that identifying and executing a successful acquisition will ultimately better position us to take advantage of strategic growth and capital opportunities, so we are working hard to execute that plan.

I hope you enjoy reading the stories about our team members in the following pages. A high-performing banking organization is built on its people. We are very proud of ours and our communities are better for the work they do.

Sincerely,

Kenneth L. Burgess Jr.Chairman

First Bancshares of Texas, Inc., is the holding company for FirstCapital Bank of Texas, N.A., an independent community bank with two offices each in Amarillo and Lubbock, three in Midland and Wichita Falls and one each in Dallas, Horseshoe Bay, Marble Falls, Fredericksburg, Henrietta, Byers and Burkburnett. FirstCapital Bank was chartered in November 1998 and First Bancshares was formed on February 1, 2002. FirstCapital Bank presently employs more than 290 team members across the six markets it serves. We also have an accomplished and well-respected board of directors and officers who provide expertise in fields such as oil and gas, real estate and medicine. An employer of choice, FirstCapital Bank of Texas has been recognized for five consecutive years by American Banker as a Best Bank to Work For.

In November 2018, FBOT signed a definitive agreement to acquire FB Bancshares, the holding company that owned Wichita Falls-based Fidelity Bank, which operated six branches in Wichita Falls, Texas, and surrounding communities, and employed more than 60 team members. The acquisition closed on February 28, 2019 and Fidelity Bank became FirstCapital Bank of Texas in July 2019.

Working toward a common vision of “Making Every Customer’s Dream a Reality,” FirstCapital Bank and our team members exemplify that vision in every interaction we have with our customers by honoring our promise, “You above all.” We focus primarily on providing a broad range of financial services to small and medium-size businesses and retail financial services to the owners and employees of those businesses. We also have a strong mortgage lending presence in all of the markets we serve.

Wichita Falls’ Fidelity Bank Becomes FirstCapital Bank of Texas

In 2019, we finalized our merger with Fidelity Bank, which added six branches in Wichita Falls, Burkburnett, Byers and Henrietta to the growing FirstCapital Bank of Texas network.

The merger not only expanded our footprint, it strengthened our culture of caring and commitment to putting our customers and communities first. As the two employee teams became one, it was clear we shared a mutual dedication to providing superior service. From our February 28 merger through the July 22 system conversion, we worked together to make the transition for Fidelity customers as smooth and seamless as possible.

With Wichita Falls banking veterans Brent Hillery as market president and Tommy McCulloch as vice chairman, and an expanded suite of products and growing employee team, FCB is now well positioned to build upon the foundation built by the former Fidelity Bank and strengthen our relationships with consumers and businesses in the region.

Pictured here: Wichita Falls market president Brent Hillery (center with plaque) and Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce president Henry Florsheim (left of Brent) carry on Fidelity’s legacy of community partnership at our Wichita Falls ribbon-cutting ceremony.

This year, FirstCapital Bank of Texas expanded our footprint into new markets while strengthening our relationships in existing ones. We’re

putting people first in more ways and in more locations than ever before.

FCB celebrated the grand opening of our Dallas market in April 2019. While we previously had a loan production office in Addison, the new FCB branch on LBJ Freeway is our first full-service branch in a major metropolitan market. It enables us to not only provide additional services to our Dallas customers, but to also provide them with an elevated customer experience – including TellerConnect video banking, which allows them to bank with a teller from 6 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week. Pictured here: FCB team members and North Dallas Chamber of Commerce chief operating officer Jeff Kitner (far right) celebrate the April 2019 opening of our first full-service Dallas branch at its ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Healthier Livestock, a Healthier EconomyFCB was named a Trailblazing Donor of Texas Tech University’s School of Veterinary Medicine in Amarillo, supporting its innovative strategy to address our state’s shortage of veterinarians, particularly in rural areas. Focused on improving access to affordable education and increasing veterinary care in underserved rural communities, the school is critical to the economy of Texas, which leads the nation in cattle, sheep, goat and mohair production and has the highest number of food and fiber animals in the U.S.

Educating Banking’s Future LeadersFCB is a founding partner of the new undergraduate Excellence in Banking program at Texas Tech Rawls College of Business. The innovative, hands-on program is designed to produce top-notch bankers by giving students a comprehensive understanding of modern banking operations and practices. In the program, students will complete their finance curriculum and new courses on advanced banking topics. In addition to helping fund the program, we are also serving on its advisory board and participating in its internship and mentorship programs.

Financing Lubbock’s Cultural RenaissanceWe’re one of a consortium of local banks and title companies that came together in 2019 to create a $160 million financing package to enable the Lubbock Entertainment/Performing Arts Association to open The Buddy Holly Hall of Performing Arts and Sciences in 2020. Future home of Ballet Lubbock, the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra, and Lubbock ISD Visual and Performing Arts, the Center will be the city’s cultural hub and the cornerstone of downtown revitalization, in addition to fueling the local economy.

Since our founding in 1998, FCB has been a passionate contributor to our communities – and a resource our neighbors can count on. In 2019,

we showed that commitment in new and innovative ways.

First Bancshares of Texas, Inc. (FBOT) and its wholly owned subsidiary, FirstCapital Bank of Texas (“the Bank”) (collectively known as the Company) reported net income of $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to net income of $12.1 for December 31, 2018. Basic earnings per share of $1.14 are reported for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $0.96 for the year ended December 31, 2018. On February 28, 2019, the Company acquired FB Bancshares, Inc. (FBB) and its wholly owned subsidiary Fidelity Bank. Fidelity Bank operated six branches in the Wichita Falls, Texas region, further expanding the Company’s Texas footprint. The acquisition has proven beneficial to the Company, contributing to increased net income and earnings per share. Further details of the acquisition are included in Note 2: Business Combinations.

The Company posted increases in return on average assets (ROA) and return on common shareholders average tangible equity (ROE) for 2019. ROA and ROE was 1.15% and 10.06%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 1.08% and 8.08% for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Gross loans at December 31, 2019 were $1.285 billion, a 51% increase over $848 million for December 31, 2018. Loans purchased in the FBB transaction were $412 million. Loan to deposit ratio (net of loans held for sale) for the Company was 89.9% at both December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Total deposits increased during 2019, ending December 31, 2019 at $1.429 billion compared to $943 million at December 31, 2018. Deposit liabilities assumed in connection with the FBB transaction were $407 million. Noninterest-bearing deposits rose 51% to $480 million at December 31, 2019 from $317 million at December 31, 2018. Noninterest-bearing deposits comprised 34% of total deposits for both 2019 and 2018.

Total assets were $1.733 billion at December 31, 2019 compared to $1.124 billion at December 31, 2018.

The acquisition of FBB included issuance of common stock of $79.1 million. Stockholders’ equity increased by 62%, to $249 million at December 31, 2019 from $154 million at December 31, 2018. Subsidiary bank, FirstCapital Bank of Texas is well capitalized under regulatory guidelines. At December 31, 2019, the Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 10.92%.

Net interest income was $69 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, a 47% increase over $47 million for year ended December 31, 2018. Operational results include ten months of earnings for the Wichita Falls branches. Net interest margin was 4.80% and 4.46% for December 31, 2019 and 2018 respectively.

The Company recorded a $3 million provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2019 was 1.18% of total loans compared to 1.60% at December 31, 2018, the decrease being attributable to the acquired Fidelity Bank loans being recorded at fair value with no carryover of their allowance for loan losses. In management’s opinion, the allowance is appropriate and is derived from consistent application of the methodology for establishing reserves for the loan portfolio.

Noninterest income was $6.2 million and $5.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of 10%. 2019 increases were centered in a gain on sale of available for sale securities and incremental revenue generation from the Wichita Falls branches. December 31, 2018 noninterest income was bolstered by income from bank owned life insurance and a gain on sale of a drive-thru location.

Noninterest expense was $49 million and $36 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of 36%. Increases were centered in salary and benefits and occupancy reflecting an increase in branches (Wichita Falls). Acquisition related expenses were $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased from $.5 million for the same period in 2018.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Shareholders and the Board of Directors of First Bancshares of Texas, Inc. Midland, Texas

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of First Bancshares of Texas, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, First Bancshares of Texas, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) relevant to reporting objectives for the express purpose of meeting the regulatory requirements of Section 112 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA) and our report dated April 10, 2020 expressed an unmodified opinion.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note 1: Nature of Operation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operation

First Bancshares of Texas, Inc. (the Company) is a bank holding company whose principal activityis the ownership and management of its wholly owned subsidiary, FirstCapital Bank of Texas,N.A. (the Bank). The Bank's primary source of revenue is providing a variety of financial servicesto individuals and businesses primarily in the Texas cities of Amarillo, Burkburnett, Byers, Dallas,Fredericksburg, Henrietta, Horseshoe Bay, Lubbock, Marble Falls, Midland and Wichita Falls, andtheir respective surrounding areas. The Bank is subject to the regulation of certain federal andstate agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. Allsignificant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Uses of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accountingprinciples requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reportedamounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date ofthe financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reportingperiod. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, balances due from banks and federal funds sold, all ofwhich mature within 90 days. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposittransactions, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, federal funds purchased andrepurchase agreements.

The Company may be required to maintain average balances on hand or with the FederalReserve Bank. The Company was not required to maintain a reserve as of December 31, 2019and 2018.

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks

Interest-bearing deposits in banks mature within three months and are carried at cost.

Securities

Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity areclassified as "held to maturity" and recorded at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held tomaturity are classified as "available for sale" and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains andlosses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method.Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determinedusing the specific identification method.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least aquarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant suchevaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent andduration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer.Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will berequested to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized costbasis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire differencebetween amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings, For debtsecurities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into twocomponents as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the incomestatement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensiveincome. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flowsexpected to be collected and the amortized cost basis.

Investment in Partnerships

The Company accounts for the investment in partnerships based on the cost method ofaccounting, and amounts are presented in Other Assets on the Statement of Financial Condition.The total remaining commitment is $2,553 at December 31, 2019.

In 2016, the Company purchased a partnership interest in Valesco Fund II, L.P. for $126 andcommitted to purchase a total of $3,000. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying value ofthe investment in the partnership was $1,200, and $833, respectively.

In 2014, the Company purchased a partnership interest in Independent Bankers Capital Fund III,L.P. for $458 and committed to purchase a total of $1,500. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, thecarrying value of the investment in the partnership was $1,262, and $1,262, respectively.

In 2012, the Company committed to purchase a partnership interest in Pharos III, L.P. for a totalof $1,500. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying value of the investment in thepartnership was $1,163 and $878, respectively.

In 2011, the Company purchased a partnership interest in Valesco Commerce Street Capital, L.P.for $59 and committed to purchase a total of $500. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the carryingvalue of the investment in the partnership was $76 and $76, respectively.

In 2009, the Company purchased a partnership interest in Independent Bankers Capital Fund II,L.P. for $37 and committed to purchase a total of $250. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, thecarrying value of the investment in the partnership was $0 and $28, respectively.

The above investments are reviewed periodically for impairment.

Restricted Investments Carried at Cost

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and TIB-The IndependentBankersBank (TIB) stock are required investments for institutions that are members of the FHLB,FRB and TIB systems.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost orfair value, as determined by outstanding commitments by investors. Net unrealized losses, if any,are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to noninterest income. Gains andlosses on loan sales are recorded in noninterest income, and direct loan origination costs andfees are deferred at loan origination of the loan and are recognized in noninterest income uponsale of the loan. Loans are generally sold servicing released.

Loans

The Company grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantialportion of the loan portfolio is represented by commercial loans throughout the Texas cities ofAmarillo, Burkburnett, Byers, Dallas, Fredericksburg, Henrietta, Horseshoe Bay, Lubbock, MarbleFalls, Midland and Wichita Falls and their respective surrounding areas. The Company acquiredloans with a fair value of $410,231. Of those $30,938 were identified to be purchased creditimpaired. The ability of the Company's debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon thegeneral economic conditions in this area.

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or untilmaturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for unearnedincome, charge offs, the allowance for loan losses, any unamortized deferred fees or costs onoriginated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. For loansamortized at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance.

The accrual of interest on all loans is generally discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days pastdue unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based oncontractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at anearlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off arereversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basisor cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrualstatus when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current andfuture payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loanlosses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of aloan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Theallowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based uponmanagement's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, thenature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability torepay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions.Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is availablefor any loan that, in management’s judgment should be charged off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates toloans that are individually classified as impaired. Commercial and commercial real estate loansare individually evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. For those loans that are classifiedas impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or

observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Thegeneral component is based on historical charge off experience and expected loss given defaultderived from the Company's internal risk rating process. Other adjustments may be made to theallowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on creditquality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data. Factors include thefollowing: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in chargeoffs and recoveries; migrations of loans to the classification of special mention, substandard ordoubtful; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection andunderwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience,ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economictrends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentration.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable thatthe Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when dueaccording to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management indetermining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collectingscheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificantpayment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Managementdetermines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis,taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, includingthe length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and theamount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured ona loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value ofexpected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainablemarket price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Groups of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment basedon the group's historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and otherrelevant factors that affect repayment of the loans. Accordingly, the Company does notseparately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment measurements,unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of theborrower.

A troubled debt restructured loan is a loan, which the Company, for reasons related to aborrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that the Company would nototherwise consider. The loan terms which have been modified or restructured due to a borrower'sfinancial difficulty include, but are not limited to, a reduction in the stated interest rate; anextension of the maturity at an interest rate below current market; a reduction in the face amountof the debt; a reduction in the accrued interest; or re-aging, extensions, deferrals, renewals andrewrites. A troubled debt restructured loan would generally be considered impaired in the year ofmodification and will be assessed periodically for continued impairment.

Acquired loan portfolios are recorded net of a discount for the expected credit loss. Therefore noallowance is generally recorded on acquired loans unless the incurred losses are estimated to bemore than the remaining discount.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Buildings and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulateddepreciation computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets orthe expected terms of the leases, if shorter.

The estimated useful lives for each major depreciable classification of premises and equipmentare as follows:

Buildings and improvements 35-40 yearsLeasehold improvements 5-10 yearsEquipment 3-5 years

The Company leases certain properties and equipment under operating leases. For leases ineffect upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” at January1, 2019 and for any leases commencing thereafter, the Company recognizes a liability to makelease payments, the “lease liability”, and an asset representing the right to use the underlyingasset during the lease term, the “right-of-use asset”. The lease liability is measured at the presentvalue of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability adjusted for the remainingbalance of any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the leasepayments are uneven throughout the lease term, any unamortized initial direct costs, and anyimpairment of the right-of-use-asset. Operating lease expense consists of a single lease costcalculated so that the remaining cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on astraight line basis.

Certain of the Company’s leases contain options to renew the lease; however, these renewaloptions are not included in the calculation of the lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certainto be exercised. The Company has made an accounting policy election to not apply therecognition requirements in Topic 842 to short-term leases. The Company has also elected tomake an accounting policy election for property leases to not include nonlease components suchas CAM charges ad property taxes when accounting for its leases. The Company’s leases are notcomplex; therefore there were no significant assumptions or judgements made in applying therequirements of Topic 842, including the determination of whether the contracts contained alease, the allocation of consideration in the contracts between lease and nonlease components,and the determination of the discount rates for the leases.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance

The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Company ownedlife insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at thebalance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or otheramounts due that are probable at settlement.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase generally mature within one year from thetransaction date and are presented at the amount of cash received in connection with thetransaction. The Company may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fairvalue of the underlying securities.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is accounted for on the cost method, and consisted of 54,944 shares at December31, 2019. There was no treasury stock at December 31, 2018.

Stock Based Compensation

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognizes the fair value (calculated value) ofstock-based awards to employees as compensation cost over the requisite service period.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the asset has beensurrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assetshave been isolated from the Company – put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor andits creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, (2) the transferee obtains the rights (free ofconditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange thetransferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferredassets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterallycause the holder to return specific assets.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance(ASC 740, Income Taxes). The income tax accounting guidance results in two components ofincome tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paidor refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxableincome or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxesusing the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset orliability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assetsand liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in whichthey occur. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets andliabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based onthe weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred taxasset will not be realized.

Tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that thetax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not meansa likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and, upon examination, also includeresolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets themore-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largestamount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized uponsettlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Thedetermination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognitionthreshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date andis subject to management's judgment.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income taxexpense. There were no interest or penalties recorded during the years ended December 31,2019 and 2018. The Company files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiary. With fewexceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations bytax authorities for years before 2016.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to makeloans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face

amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral orability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number ofcommon shares outstanding during the period. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) sharesare considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per commonshare includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stockoptions.

Dividend Restriction

Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid bythe bank to the holding company or by the holding company to shareholders.

Loss Contingencies

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business,are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of losscan be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that willhave a material effect on the financial statements.

Operating Segments

While the chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products andservices, operations are managed, and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-widebasis. Operating segments are aggregated into one as operating results for all segments that aresimilar. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to beaggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Retirement Plans

Employee 401(k) and profit sharing plan expense is the amount of matching contributions.Deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits overyears of service.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and otherassumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involveuncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk,prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income, net ofapplicable income taxes. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains or losses onavailable for sale securities.

Transfers between Fair Value Hierarchy Levels

Transfers in and out of Level 1 (quoted market prices), Level 2 (other significant observableinputs) and Level 3 (significant unobservable inputs) are recognized on the period ending date.

Other Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, such as core deposit intangibles, acquired in a purchase business combinationwith definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residualvalues. The core deposit intangible is amortized on a double-declining balance method over itsestimated useful life of 7 to 10 years.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.These reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or total stockholders’ equity.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) - In February 2016, the FASB amended guidance thatrequires lessees recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) atthe commencement date (1) A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make leasepayments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) A right-of-use asset,which is an asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largelyunchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, when necessary, lessoraccounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts withCustomers. The new guidance also requires enhanced disclosure about an entity’s leasingarrangements.

The Company adopted Topic 842 in the first quarter of 2019, for which early adoption waspermitted. There was no cumulative effect adjustment required and prior period amounts continueto be reported in accordance with legacy GAAP.

The new guidance includes a number of optional transition-related practical expedients. Thepractical expedients relate to the identification and classification of leases that commenced beforethe effective date, initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, and theability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchasethe underlying asset. The company elected to apply these practical expedients and will, in effect,continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance withprevious GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that lessees are required to recognize aright-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on thepresent value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed underprevious GAAP.

The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s operating results orfinancial condition. The effect of adopting this standard was an increase in assets of $7,351 andan increase in liabilities of $7,753 on our consolidated balance sheet. See Note 5 - Premises andEquipment for additional disclosures related to leases.

ASU 2016-01, Fair Value Measurement - In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,“Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and FinancialLiabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). The guidance affects the accounting for equity investments, financial

liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements of financialinstruments. ASU 2016-01 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 and resulted inseparate classification of equity securities previously included in available for sale securities onthe consolidated balance sheets with changes in the fair value of the equity securities captured inthe consolidated statements of income. See Note 3 – Securities for disclosures related to equitysecurities. Adoption of the standard also resulted in the use of an exit price rather than anentrance price to determine the fair value of loans not measured at fair value on a non-recurringbasis in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 15 – Fair Value Disclosures for furtherinformation regarding the valuation of these loans.

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the consolidated financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, was $20,356 and $116,149, which is approximately 19 percent and 85 percent, respectively, of the Company's available for sale and held to maturity investment portfolio.

Mortgage-backed, U.S. Government and Agency, and Municipal Bonds

The unrealized losses on the Company's investment in mortgage-backed, U.S. Government,Agency and Municipal securities were caused by interest rate increases and increases inprepayment speeds. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a priceless than the amortized cost basis of the Company's investments. Because the decline in marketvalue is attributable to changes in interest rates and increases in prepayment speeds and notcredit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is notmore likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery oftheir amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider thoseinvestments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Internal Risk Categories

The Company monitors credit quality within its portfolio segments based on primary credit qualityindicators. All of the Company's loans are evaluated using pass rated or reservable criticized asthe primary credit quality indicator. The term reservable criticized refers to those loans that areinternally classified or listed by the Company as special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss.These assets pose an elevated risk and may have a high probability of default or total loss. In2019, the bank commissioned external loan review who reviewed approximately 60% of its loanportfolio, a combination of external loan review, and internal loan review.

The classifications of loans reflect a judgment about the risks of default and loss associated withthe loan. The Company reviews the ratings on credits on at least a quarterly basis. Ratings canbe changed at any time based on a change in inherent risk. Ratings are adjusted to reflect thedegree of risk and loss that is felt to be inherent in each credit as of each monthly reportingperiod. The methodology is structured so that specific allocations are increased in accordancewith deterioration in credit quality (and a corresponding increase in risk and loss) or decreased inaccordance with improvement in credit quality (and a corresponding decrease in risk and loss).

Credits rated special mention show clear signs of financial weaknesses or deterioration in creditworthiness, however, such concerns are not so pronounced that the Company generally expectsto experience significant loss within the short-term. Such credits typically maintain the ability toperform within standard credit terms and credit exposure is not as prominent as credits ratedmore harshly.

Credits rated substandard are those in which the normal repayment of principal and interest maybe, or has been, jeopardized by reason of adverse trends or developments of a financial,managerial, economic or political nature, or important weaknesses exist in collateral. A protractedworkout on these credits is a distinct possibility. Prompt corrective action is therefore required tostrengthen the Company's position, and/or to reduce exposure and to assure that adequateremedial measures are taken by the borrower. Credit exposure becomes more likely in suchcredits and a serious evaluation of the secondary support to the credit is performed.

Credits rated doubtful are those in which full collection of principal appears highly questionable,and which some degree of loss is anticipated, even though the ultimate amount of loss may notyet be certain and/or other factors exist which could affect collection of debt. Based upon

available information, positive action by the Company is required to avert or minimize loss.Credits rated doubtful are generally also placed on nonaccrual.

Pass rated refers to loans that are not considered criticized. In addition to this primary creditquality indicator, the Company uses other credit quality indicators for certain types of loans.

Risk characteristics applicable to each segment of the loan portfolio are described as follows.

Real Estate: The Company's real estate portfolio is comprised primarily of homogenous loanssecured by residential and commercial real estate. Repayment of these loans is primarilydependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers and successful operationsof the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan.Credit risk in residential loans can be impacted by economic conditions within the Company'smarket areas that might impact either property values or a borrower's personal income. Risk ismitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a largenumber of borrowers. Commercial real estate loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans andsecondarily as loans secured by real estate. Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by thecreditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the Company's marketareas.

Consumer: The consumer loan portfolio consists of various term and line of credit loans such asautomobile loans and loans for other personal purposes. Repayment for these types of loans willcome from a borrower's income sources that are typically independent of the loan purpose.Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors (such as unemployment and generaleconomic conditions in the Company's market area) and the creditworthiness of a borrower.

Commercial: The commercial portfolio includes loans to commercial customers for use infinancing working capital needs, equipment purchases and expansions. The loans in thiscategory are repaid primarily from the cash flow of a borrower's principal business operation.Credit risk in these loans is driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditionsthat impact the cash flow stability from business operations.

Other: Other loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercialloans. These loans are based primarily on the identified cash flows of the borrower andsecondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Most loans are secured by theassets being financed and may include personal guarantees.

Note 12: Restrictions on Dividends & Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements

Restrictions on Dividends

Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid by the Bank tothe Company. Such regulations generally restrict cash dividends to the Bank's available currentyear earnings plus remaining earnings not paid to the Company in dividends from the past twoyears. In addition, dividends paid by the Bank would be prohibited if the effect thereof wouldcause the Bank's capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements. As ofDecember 31, 2019, $18,572 of retained earnings is available to pay dividends.

Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements

Our capital management consists of providing equity to support our current and future operations.We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and statebanking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatoryand possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct

material effect on the Company’s or FirstCapital Bank’s financial statements. Under capitaladequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Companyand the Bank each must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures oftheir assets, liabilities and certain off balance sheet items as calculated under regulatoryaccounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitativejudgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require theCompany and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total, Tier 1, and commonequity Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Managementbelieves, as of December 31, 2019, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacyrequirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2019, the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded those levels necessary to becategorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Tobe categorized as “well capitalized”, FirstCapital Bank must maintain minimum total risk based,common equity Tier 1 risk based, Tier 1 risk based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios. There are noconditions or events since December 31, 2019 that management believes would have changedFirstCapital Bank’s category.

Basel III Capital Rules

In July 2013, the three federal bank regulatory agencies jointly published final rules (the Basel IIICapital Rules) establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. bankingorganizations. The rules implement the Basel Committee's December 2010 framework known as"Basel III" for strengthening international capital standards as well as certain provisions of theDodd Frank Act. These rules substantially revise the risk based capital requirements applicableto bank holding companies and depository institutions, compared to the current U.S. risk basedcapital rules. The Basel III Capital Rules define the components of capital and address otherissues affecting the numerator in banking institutions' regulatory capital ratios. These rules alsoaddress risk weights and other issues affecting the denominator in banking institutions' regulatorycapital ratios and replace the existing risk weighting approach with a more risk sensitiveapproach. The Basel III Capital Rules were effective for the Company on January 1, 2015(subject to a four year phase in period).

The Basel III Capital Rules, among other things, (i) introduce a new capital measure called"Common Equity Tier 1" (CET1), (ii) specify that Tier 1 capital consist of CET1 and "AdditionalTier 1 Capital" instruments meeting specified requirements, (iii) define CET1 narrowly by requiringthat most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to theother components of capital and (iv) expand the scope of the deductions/adjustments ascompared to existing regulations.

Under the Basel III Capital Rules, the minimum capital ratios as of December 31, 2019, are asfollows:

4.5 percent CET1 to risk weighted assets6.0 percent Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets8.0 percent Total capital to risk weighted assets4.0 percent Minimum leverage ratio

Implementation of the deductions and other adjustments to CET1 began on January 1, 2015, andphased in over a four year period (beginning at 40 percent on January 1, 2015, and an additional20 percent per year thereafter). Under the new rule, in order to avoid limitations on capitaldistributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executiveofficers, a banking organization must hold a capital conservation buffer composed of CET1 capitalabove its minimum risk based capital requirements. The implementation of the capitalconservation buffer began on January 1, 2016, at the 0.625 percent level and phased in over afour year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1 until it reached 2.500percent on January 1, 2019). The capital conservation buffer was 2.500% as of December 31,2019.

The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the following table. The capitalconservation buffer is not included in the table below. It is no longer applicable to disclose theconsolidated capital requirements due to the Federal Reserve policy statement issued in August2018, for $1B-$3B banks.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholesoption valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilityis based on a combination of historical volatility of the Company's stock, and indices of otherfinancial institutions. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise andemployee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similarhistorical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected termof options granted represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding; therange given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behavior. Therisk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasuryyield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield assumption is based on theCompany's history and expectation of dividend payouts.

Note 15: Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability(exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderlytransaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels ofinputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active marketsthat 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 quotedprices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or otherinputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptionsabout the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities, Available for Sale - Where quoted market prices are available in an active market,securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are notavailable, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similarcharacteristics or independent asset pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which aremarket-based or independently sourced market parameters, including, but not limited to, yieldcurves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cashflows. Such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases whereLevel 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Loans Held for Sale - Loans held for sale represent mortgage loan originations intended to besold in the secondary market. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined usingcommitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices and are classified in Level 2 ofthe valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans, Net of ALLL - A loan is considered impaired when, based on currentinformation and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts duepursuant to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured by estimatingthe fair value of the loan based on the present value of expected cash flows, the market price ofthe loan, or the underlying fair value of the loan’s collateral. For real estate loans, fair value of theimpaired loan’s collateral is determined by third party appraisals, or internal evaluations, whichare then adjusted for the estimated selling and closing costs related to liquidation of the collateral.For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, sales comparable, or cost) vary basedon the status of the project or property. The Company reviews the third party appraisal forappropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, and otherfactors developed by management's comparison to historical results, such as lack ofmarketability. For non-real estate loans, fair value of the impaired loan’s collateral may bedetermined using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or agingreports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in marketconditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of theclient and client’s business.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) - OREO is primarily comprised of real estate acquired inpartial or full satisfaction of loans. OREO is recorded at its estimated fair value less estimatedselling and closing costs at the date of transfer, with any excess of the related loan balance overthe fair value less expected selling costs charged to the ALLL. Subsequent changes in fair valueare reported as adjustments to the carrying amount and are recorded against earnings. TheCompany outsources the valuation of OREO with material balances to third party appraisers. Forthis asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, sales comparable, or cost) vary based onthe status of the project or property. For example, land is generally based on the salescomparable method while construction is based on the income and/or sales comparablemethods. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with no one ofthe three methods being the predominant approach. The Company reviews the third partyappraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closingcosts.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis were as follows:

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair valueof the above classes of financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For financial instruments with a shorter term or with no statedmaturity, prevailing market rates, and limited credit risk, the carrying amounts approximate fairvalue and are considered a Level 1 classification.

Securities, Held to Maturity - Fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices, ifavailable, resulting in a Level 1 classification. If a quoted market price is not available, fair valueis estimated using quoted market prices for similar instruments and is considered a Level 2classification.

FHLB Stock, and FRB Stock - FHLB and FRB stock is restricted to member banks and there arerestrictions placed on its transferability. As a result, the fair value of the stock was not practicableto determine.

Loans - Loans include loans held for investment and loans included in assets held for sale.Loans exclude impaired loans previously described above. Fair values are estimated byaveraging exit pricing on comparable acquisitions from the past two years, and applying a liquiditypremium adjustment, that is supported by a memo from a third party securities firm.

For mortgage loans, the Company uses the secondary market rates in effect for loans that havesimilar characteristics. The fair value of other fixed rate loans is calculated by discountingscheduled cash flows through the anticipated maturities adjusted for prepayment estimates.Adjustable interest rate loans are assumed to approximate fair value because they generallyreprice within the short term.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable - The carrying amounts of accruedinterest receivable and accrued interest payable approximate their fair values given the short termnature of the receivables and are considered a Level 1 classification.

Deposits - Fair values for deposits are estimated by averaging pricing on deposits acquired overthe past two years, resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Securities Sold Under the Agreement to Repurchase - For financial instruments with a shorterterm or with no stated maturity, prevailing market rates, and limited credit risk, the carryingamounts approximate fair value and are considered a Level 1 classification.

Advances from FHLB - The Company's FHLB advances have relatively short term maturities,and therefore materially approximates carrying value and is considered a Level 2 classification.

Subordinated Debentures - The subordinated notes were valued based on quoted marketprices, but due to limited trading activity for the subordinated notes in these markets, thesubordinated notes are considered a Level 2 classification.

Note 16: Commitments and Credit Risk

The Company is a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in thenormal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financialinstruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Suchcommitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of theamount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

2018Variable Rate Fixed Rate Total

Commitments to extend credit $ 109,236 $ 37,704 $ 146,940Standby letters of credit — 6,864 6,864

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is noviolation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixedexpiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Thecommitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the totalcommitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount ofcollateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management's creditevaluation of the customer.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee theperformance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to supportpublic and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expirationdates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the sameas that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateralsupporting those commitments if deemed necessary.

The Company has no other off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions with unconsolidated,special purpose entities that would expose the Company to liability that is not reflected on theface of the consolidated financial statements.

We continue to monitor the situation and may adjust our current policiesand practices as more information and guidance become available.

The spread of COVID-19 to the US has contributed to economic volatility in the financial marketsand stock valuations have been significantly impacted.
