During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company designated the aforementioned commercial business SBA 7(a) loan as non-accrual. The Company reversed uncollected accrued interest receivable in the total amount of $9 thousand during the same period. The Company charged-off the unguaranteed portion of the loan, in the total amount of $361 thousand, during the fourth quarter of 2025 and

submitted a reimbursement claim to the SBA for the guaranteed portion.  During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded no charge-offs and had no other real estate owned assets as of March 31, 2026.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company assesses credit quality indicators based on internal risk rating of loans. Each loan is evaluated at least annually with more frequent evaluation of more severely criticized loans. The indicators that determine the rating for loans as of the date presented are based on the most recent credit review performed. Internal risk rating definitions are:

Pass: These include satisfactory loans that have acceptable levels of risk.

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that requires 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. These credits do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant further adverse classification.

Substandard: A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard must 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.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss: Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be received in the future.

The Company has a portfolio of smaller homogenous loans that are not individually risk rated and include residential permanent and construction mortgages, home equity lines of credit, and consumer installment loans. For these loans, management uses payment status as the primary credit quality indicator. The payment status of these loans is then translated into an internal risk rating. The following table summarizes the translation of past due status to risk rating for loans that are not individually risk rated.

Revolving loans that are converted to term loans are treated as new originations in both tables above and are presented by year of origination.

Modifications with Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

The allowance for loan credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for loan credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company may provide concessions to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to minimize the economic loss and improve long-term loan performance and collectability. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification. The Company did not make any loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. There were also no instances of defaults on loans that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 for loans that had been modified during the previous 12 months. Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance is generally not recorded upon modification.

Unfunded Commitments

The Company maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, as well as both standby and commercial letters of credit when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for (or recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the allowance for loan credit losses. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments of $1.2 million and $1.3 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, is separately classified within Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The recovery of the provision for credit losses recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to an decrease in unfunded commitments.

The following table presents the balance and activity in the allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
