Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segments Segments
ASC Topic 280 – Segment Reporting identifies operating segments as components of an enterprise which are evaluated regularly by the Corporation’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, our Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Corporation has applied the aggregation criterion set forth in this codification to the results of its operations.
Our Banking segment (“Bank”) consists of commercial and retail banking. The Banking segment generates interest income from its lending and investing activities and is dependent on the gathering of lower cost deposits from its branch network or borrowed funds from other sources for funding its loans, resulting in the generation of net interest income. The Banking segment also derives revenues from other sources including gains on the sale of SBA loans, sales of available for sale investment securities, service charges on deposit accounts, cash sweep fees, overdraft fees, BOLI income, title insurance fees, and other less significant non-interest income. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses, and payroll provide the significant expenses in the banking operation.
Meridian Wealth (“Wealth”), a registered investment advisor and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, provides a comprehensive array of wealth management services and products and the trusted guidance to help its clients and our banking customers prepare for the future. Segment income before income taxes is used to assess the performance of the wealth segment by monitoring the generation of wealth management income as the wealth segment generates non-interest income through advisory fees. The cost of marketing, business development, and payroll provide the significant expenses in wealth.
Meridian’s mortgage banking segment (“Mortgage”) consists of 7 loan production offices throughout suburban Philadelphia and Maryland. Segment income before income taxes is used to assess the performance of the mortgage banking segment by monitoring the gains received on loan sales. The Mortgage segment originates 1 – 4 family residential mortgages and sells nearly all of its production to third party investors. The unit generates net interest income on the loans it originates and holds temporarily, then earns fee income (primarily gain on sales) at the time of the sale. The unit also recognizes income from document preparation fees, changes in portfolio pipeline fair values and related net hedging gains (losses). The cost of loans sales and payroll provide the significant expenses in mortgage banking.

The table below summarizes income and expenses, directly attributable to each business line, which have been included in the statement of operations. Total assets for each segment is also provided.
