Note 4. Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company’s loan portfolio comprises two segments, Non-profit commercial loans to Christian churches and ministries, and for-profit commercial loans. See “Note 1 – Loan Portfolio Segments and Classes” to Part I “Financial Information” of this Report. The loans fall into eight classes:

wholly owned amortizing loans for which the Company possesses the first collateral position;
wholly owned amortizing loans for which the Company possesses security other than a first collateral position on real property;
wholly owned amortizing loans that are unsecured;
wholly owned lines of credit for which the Company possesses security other than a first collateral position on real property;
wholly owned lines of credit that are unsecured;
wholly owned construction loans
participated amortizing loans purchased for which the Company possesses the first collateral position; and
participated construction loans purchased.

The Company primarily makes or purchases participations in loans that are made to Christian non-profit organizations and churches. The purpose of these loans is to purchase, construct, or improve facilities. Occasionally the company originates for-profit commercial loans to meet the Company’s revenue and yield goals, as well as to diversify the Company’s loan portfolio. Maturities on the loan portfolio extend through 2038. The loan portfolio had a weighted average rate of 6.97% and 6.88% as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Loans receivable at December 31,

2025 and December 31, 2024, include $6 thousand in loan participations transferred under a recourse agreement.

The recorded investment reflects the unpaid principal balance less any interest payments that management has recorded against principal and less discounts taken. No loans in the Company’s for-profit commercial loan segment were classified as impaired or non-accrual at December 31, 2025 or at December 31, 2024.
