FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
6.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

The Bank uses fair value measurement accounting guidance to record the carrying value of, and adjustments to, certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three broad input levels defined in this guidance:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the reporting date;
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices (such as interest rates or yield curves) that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The Bank’s investment securities are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Bank does not have any financial instruments that are measured on a nonrecurring basis.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Fair values of available-for-sale securities are based on prices obtained from an independent pricing service. The pricing service utilizes observable market inputs, including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and interest rate spreads for securities with similar characteristics. Because these valuations are based on observable inputs rather than quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, these securities are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments reported in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the carrying value.

The fair value of loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. These estimates are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.

The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and bank owned life insurance approximates carrying value as these instruments are carried at amounts that approximate their realizable value.

The fair value of accrued interest receivable and payable approximates the carrying value.

The fair value of cash surrender is based on reported values of the assets. Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available, or estimated using observable market inputs including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and interest rate spreads for securities with similar characteristics.

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on a valuation which incorporates assumptions including servicing costs, prepayment speeds, discount rates, and other economic factors.

The fair value of deposits is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current market rates for deposits with similar remaining maturities. For deposits with no stated maturity, including demand deposits, savings accounts, and money market accounts, the carrying amount is used as a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Because the valuation utilizes significant unobservable inputs, deposits are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current market rates for similar borrowings with comparable remaining maturities.

The fair value of advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance and federal funds purchased is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current market rates for similar short-term obligations. Because these balances are established pursuant to regulatory requirements and are short-term in nature, their carrying value approximates fair value.

The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Bank’s financial instruments at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall.
