Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block] |
Major categories of loans are as follows:
For purposes of monitoring the performance of the loan portfolio and estimating the allowance for credit losses, the Company's loans receivable portfolio is segmented as follows: (i) commercial real estate; (ii) construction and land development; (iii) residential; (iv) commercial and industrial; (v) and consumer.
Commercial real estate loans carry risks associated with the borrower’s ability to repay the loan from the cash flow derived from the underlying real estate. Risks inherent in managing a commercial real estate portfolio relate to sudden or gradual drops in property values as well as changes in the economic climate. Real estate security diminishes risks only to the extent that a market exists for the subject collateral. These risks are attempted to be mitigated by carefully underwriting loans of this type and by following appropriate loan-to-value standards. The Company generally requires personal guarantees or endorsements with respect to these loans and loan-to-value ratios for real estate-commercial loans generally do not exceed 80%.
Construction and land development real estate loans carry risks that the project will not be finished according to schedule, the project will not be finished according to budget, and/or the value of the collateral may, at any point in time, be less than the principal amount of the loan. Construction loans also bear the risk that the general contractor, who may or may not be a loan customer, may be unable to finish the construction project as planned because of financial pressure unrelated to the project. The Company generally requires personal guarantees or endorsements with respect to these loans and loan-to-value ratios for real estate-commercial loans generally do not exceed 80%.
Residential real estate mortgage loans, including equity lines of credit, carry risks associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower and the changes in the value of the collateral.
Commercial and industrial loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of a business or a real estate project, in addition to other risks associated with the ownership of real estate, because the repayment of these loans may be dependent upon the profitability and cash flows of the business or project. In addition, there is risk associated with the value of collateral other than real estate which may depreciate over time and cannot be appraised with as much precision.
Consumer loans carry risks associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower and the value of the collateral. The Company's consumer loans consist primarily of installment loans made to individuals for personal, family and household purposes. These risks are attempted to be mitigated by following appropriate loan-to-value standards and an experienced management team for this type of portfolio.
The following tables present the amortized cost basis of loans on nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
The Company did recognize any interest income on nonaccrual loans during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.
At June 30, 2025, the Company had nonaccrual loans totaling $577 thousand which were secured by real estate. Gross interest income of $21 thousand would have been recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2025 if these nonaccrual loans had been current and performing in accordance with the original terms. The Company calculated $300 thousand of its allowance for credit losses on these nonaccrual loans.
At December 31, 2024, the Company had nonaccrual loans totaling $2.4 million which were secured by real estate, business assets and a personal guaranty. Gross interest income of $25 thousand would have been recorded in 2024 if these nonaccrual loans had been current and performing in accordance with their original terms. The Company calculated $360 thousand of its allowance for credit losses on these nonaccrual loans.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans by class of loans as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
From time to time, loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may be modified. Generally, the modifications we grant are extensions of terms, deferrals of payments for an extended period or interest rate reductions. Occasionally, we may modify a loan by providing principal forgiveness. In some cases, we will modify a loan by providing multiple types, or combinations, of concessions.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of the loan modifications at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and the percentage of the amortized cost basis of the loan to the total cost basis of the class of loans and total loans.
The Bank did not modift any loans during the three month period ended June 30, 2025 and modified one commercial real estate loan to a borrower experiencing financial distress during the six month period ended June 30, 2025. There were two modifications to borrowers experiencing financial distress during the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2024. There were loan payment defaults during the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Accrued interest receivable on loans totaled $1.9 million at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and is included in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest receivable is not included as part of the amortized costs of loans for the allowance for credit losses estimate.
Credit Quality Indicators
As part of our portfolio risk management, the Company assigns a risk grade to each loan. The factors used to determine the grade are the payment history of the loan and the borrower, the value of the collateral and net worth of the guarantor, and cash flow projections of the borrower. Excellent, Above Average, Average, Acceptable, and Pass/Watch grades are assigned to loans with limited or no delinquent payments and more than sufficient collateral and/or cash flow.
A description of the general characteristics of loans characterized as watch list or classified is as follows:
Special Mention A special mention loan is a loan that management believes has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Borrowers may exhibit poor liquidity and leverage positions resulting from generally negative cash flow or negative trends in earnings. Access to alternative financing may be limited to finance companies for business borrowers and may be unavailable for commercial real estate borrowers.
Substandard A substandard loan is a loan that management believes is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Such loans have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Borrowers may exhibit recent or unexpected unprofitable operations, an inadequate debt service coverage ratio, or marginal liquidity and capitalization. Substandard loans require more intense supervision by Company management.
Doubtful A doubtful loan is a loan that management believes has all of the weaknesses inherent in a substandard loan with the added characteristic that the weaknesses, based on currently existing facts, conditions, and values, make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable.
