Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates common to the banking industry that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include, but are not limited to, the determination of the allowance for credit losses (ACL) and valuation allowances associated with the realization of deferred tax assets, which are based on future taxable income.  

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to GAAP and general practices within the banking industry.

There were no material changes or developments during the reporting period with respect to methodologies that the Company uses when applying what management believes are critical accounting policies and developing critical accounting estimates as disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Allowance for credit losses

In general, the Company uses a broad range of data to estimate current expected credit losses (“CECL”), including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts relevant to assessing the collectability of the cash flows of financial assets.

CECL requires the Bank to measure expected credit losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost on a collective or pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Bank has determined that Call Report categories will be utilized, and Management will maintain the option to further segment the portfolio if we deem it beneficial to the analysis.

The Company’s loan portfolio segments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

Real Estate Loans

Residential-Residential mortgage loans are susceptible to weakening general economic conditions, increases in unemployment rates, and declining real estate values.

Construction-Risk common to commercial construction loans are cost overruns, changes in market demand for property, inadequate long-term financing arrangements, and declines in real estate values. Residential construction loans are susceptible to those same risks as well as those associated with residential mortgage loans. Changes in market demand for property could lead to longer marketing times resulting in higher carrying costs, declining values, and higher interest rates.

Nonresidential-Risks to this loan category include industry concentration and the inability to monitor the condition of collateral. Declines in general economic conditions and other events can cause cash flows to fall to levels insufficient to service debt, declines in real estate values, and lack of suitable alternative use for properties. These loans are also susceptible to declines in occupancy rates, business failure, and general economic conditions.

Commercial and Industrial-Risk to this loan category include industry concentration and the practical limitations associated with monitoring the condition of the collateral which often consists of inventory, accounts receivable, and other non-real estate assets. Equipment and inventory obsolescence can also pose a risk. Declines in general economic conditions and other events can cause cash flows to fall to levels insufficient to service debt.

Other-Risk common to these loans include regulatory risks, unemployment, changes in local economic conditions, and the inability to monitor collateral consisting of personal property.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation-Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
