Loans secured by real estate were approximately 86.9% of the Company’s
total loan portfolio at March 31, 2026.
At March
31, 2026, the Company’s geographic
loan distribution was concentrated primarily in Lee County,
Alabama, and
surrounding areas.
The loan portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and
documents a systematic method for
determining its allowance for credit losses. As part of the Company’s
quarterly assessment of the allowance, the loan
portfolio is disaggregated into the following portfolio segments: commercial
and industrial, municipal, construction and
land development, commercial real estate, residential real estate, and consumer
installment. Where appropriate, the
Company’s loan portfolio
segments are further disaggregated into classes. A class is generally determined based on the
initial measurement attribute, risk characteristics of the loan, and
an entity’s method for monitoring and determining
credit
risk.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company refined its loan portfolio
segmentation to separately identify municipal loans,
which were previously included within commercial and industrial loans, due
to their recent growth and distinct risk
characteristics.
The allowance for credit losses related to municipal loans is determined using a discounted
cash flow
methodology incorporating probability of default and loss given default assumptions
derived from external data sources.
As a result of this refinement,
the total allowance decreased due to the lower expected credit losses associated with
these
loans.
This refinement represents a change in accounting estimate and is accounted for
prospectively.
No adjustments
were made to prior periods.
The following describes
the risk characteristics relevant to each of the portfolio segments and classes.
Commercial and industrial —
includes loans to finance business operations, equipment purchases, or
other needs for small
and medium-sized commercial customers. Also included in this category are loans
to finance agricultural production.
Generally,
the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from business operations and activities of the
borrower.
Municipal —
includes loans to state and local governmental entities and related public-sector organizations
to finance
capital projects, infrastructure improvements, and other governmental
or public service needs. These loans are typically
supported by general tax revenues, utility revenues, special assessments, or
other dedicated revenue sources of the
municipality. Repayment
is primarily dependent on the financial capacity and revenue-generating
ability of the
governmental entity.
Construction and land development —
includes both loans and credit lines for the purpose of purchasing, carrying,
and
developing land into commercial developments or residential subdivisions.
Also included are loans and lines for
construction of residential, multi-family,
and commercial buildings. Generally,
the primary source of repayment is
dependent upon the sale or refinancing of the real estate collateral.
Commercial real estate
includes loans disaggregated in these classes:
Owner occupied
– includes loans secured by business facilities to finance business operations, equipment
and
owner-occupied facilities primarily for small and medium-sized commercial
customers.
Generally, the primary
source of loan repayment are the cash flows from business operations and activities of
the borrower, who owns the
property.
Hotel/motel
– includes loans for hotels and motels.
Generally, the primary source
of repayment is dependent upon
income generated from the real estate collateral.
The underwriting of these loans takes into consideration the
occupancy and rental rates, as well as the financial health of the borrower.
Multifamily
– primarily includes loans to finance income-producing multifamily
properties.
Loans in this class
include loans for 5 or more unit residential property
and apartments leased to residents. Generally,
the primary
source of repayment is dependent upon income generated from the real estate collateral.
The underwriting of these
loans takes into consideration the occupancy and rental rates, as well as the financial
health of the respective
borrower.
Other
– primarily includes loans to finance income-producing commercial.
Loans in this class include loans for
neighborhood retail centers, medical and professional offices,
single retail stores, industrial buildings, and
warehouses leased generally to local businesses and residents. Generally
,
the primary source of repayment is
dependent upon income generated from the real estate collateral. The
underwriting of these loans takes into
c
onsideration the occupancy and rental rates, as well as the financial health
of the borrower.
Residential real estate —
includes loans disaggregated into two classes:
Consumer mortgage
– primarily includes
first or second lien mortgages and home equity lines to consumers that
are secured by a primary residence or second home. These loans are underwritten
in accordance with the Bank’s
general loan policies and procedures which require, among other things,
proper documentation of each borrower’s
financial condition, satisfactory credit history,
and property value.
Investment property
– primarily includes loans to finance income-producing 1-4 family residential
properties.
Generally,
the primary source of repayment is dependent upon income generated from
leasing the property
securing the loan. The underwriting of these loans takes into consideration
the rental rates, as well as the financial
health of the borrowers.
Consumer installment —
includes loans to individuals,
both secured by personal property and unsecured.
Loans include
personal lines of credit, automobile loans, and other retail loans.
These loans are underwritten in accordance with the
Bank’s general loan policies and procedures
which require, among other things, proper documentation of each borrower’s
financial condition, satisfactory credit history,
and, if applicable, property value.
The following is a summary of current, accruing past due, and nonaccrual
loans by portfolio segment and class as of March
31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Credit Quality Indicators
The credit quality of the loan portfolio is summarized no less frequently than
quarterly using categories similar to the
standard asset classification system used by the federal banking agencies.
These categories are utilized to develop the
associated allowance for credit losses using historical losses adjusted for
qualitative and environmental factors and are
defined as follows:
Pass – loans which are well protected by the current net worth and paying
capacity of the obligor (or guarantors, if
any) or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral.
Special Mention – loans with potential weakness that may,
if not reversed or corrected, weaken the credit or
inadequately protect the Company’s
position at some future date. These loans are not adversely classified and do
not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant an adverse classification.
Substandard Accruing – loans that exhibit a well-defined weakness which
presently jeopardizes debt repayment,
even though they are currently performing. These loans are characterized
by the distinct possibility that the
Company may incur a loss in the future if these weaknesses are not corrected.
Nonaccrual – includes loans where management has determined that full payment
of principal and interest is not
e
xpected.
The introduction of the municipal portfolio segment in 2026 impacts comparability
of credit quality disclosures to prior
periods.
The following tables present credit quality indicators for the loan portfolio segments and
classes by year of
origination as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is estimated under the Current Expected
Credit Losses (“CECL”) methodology set forth in
FASB ASC 326,
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses
.
Under the CECL methodology,
the allowance for credit losses is
measured on a collective basis for pools of loans with similar risk characteristics,
and for loans that do not share similar risk
characteristics with the collectively evaluated pools, evaluations are
performed on an individual basis.
The composition of the provision for credit losses for the respective periods
is presented below.

The provision for credit losses for the quarter reflects both changes in credit conditions
and the impact of the refinement in
portfolio segmentation, including the reclassification of loans previously
included in commercial and industrial loans.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company refined its loan portfolio
segmentation to separately identify municipal loans,
which were previously included within commercial and industrial loans, due
to their recent growth and distinct risk
characteristics.
The allowance for credit losses related to municipal loans is determined using a discounted
cash flow
methodology incorporating probability of default and loss given default assumptions
derived from external data sources.
As a result of this refinement, the total allowance decreased due to the lower
expected credit losses associated with these
loans.
This refinement represents a change in accounting estimate and is accounted for prospectively.
No adjustments
were made to prior periods.
The Company designates certain individually evaluated loans on nonaccrual status as collateral
-dependent loans.
Collateral-dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided
substantially through the operation
or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty.
These loans do not share common risk
characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans
for determining the allowance for credit losses.
Under CECL, for collateral-dependent loans, the Company has adopted
the practical expedient to measure the allowance
for credit losses based on the fair value of collateral.
The allowance for credit losses is calculated on an individual loan
basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan’s
collateral, which is adjusted for liquidation costs/discounts,
and amortized costs.
If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required.
The Company had no collateral dependent loans which were individually evaluated
at March 31, 2026.
The following table
presents the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans, which were
individually evaluated to determine expected
credit losses at December 31, 2025.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had one additional individually
evaluated commercial real estate
loan in the amount of $3.0 million that was not considered collateral dependent
and was accruing in accordance with its
contractual terms.
This loan had an allowance of $0.5 million at March 31, 2026 and December
31, 2025, respectively.
The allowance for this loan was measured using the present value of expected
future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s
effective interest rate.
Expected cash flows were developed using probability of default and loss given default
assumptions
specific to the borrower.

nonaccrual loans by major categories for the respective periods.
