Note 17: Government Assistance

On October 31, 2012, the Company entered into a settlement agreement on the foreclosure of the Country Aire Subdivision in LaSalle, IL whereby the Company assumed the rights and responsibility as the developer of this subdivision. This subdivision was granted a Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) district by the City of LaSalle in 2004. The previous developer did not complete the terms of the TIF agreement, thus the Company entered into an agreement with the City of LaSalle to meet the requirements of the TIF agreement and then receive the incentives upon completion of all terms of the agreement. The City of LaSalle accepted the subdivision on October 25, 2016. Because the incentives are based on the incremental taxes generated from the sale of the lots and the building of homes the Company continued to market and sell lots with the final contract in 2019. At December 31, 2019, the Company had met all the requirements and had all lots sold therefore a TIF receivable was recorded for the estimated value of funds to be received from the City of Lasalle over the remaining term of the TIF district. Each year end the Company evaluates the TIF receivable based on the 3^rd party TIF administrator’s estimated value of homes, their incremental taxes and the developer’s share of the incremental taxes. The receivable for these funds are included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and changes to the valuation are adjusted through Other Non-interest Income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The balance of this receivable was $331 and $449 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
