Loans serviced for the benefit of others, which are not included in the amounts shown above, totaled approximately $21.2 million and $53.3 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The value of mortgage servicing rights was not material at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The allowance for credit losses on loans represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the statement of financial condition date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The allowance for credit losses is increased by the provision for credit losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for credit losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable are charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely.

The allowance for credit losses on loans is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance is based on the relevant available information from internal and external sources related to past events and current conditions, as well as the incorporation of reasonable and supportable forecasts. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The activity in the allowance for credit loss by loan segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the provision expense recorded for residential real estate and construction loans was primarily attributed to increased loan balances. The reversal of the provision recorded for non-residential real estate loans was primarily attributed to increased loan balances. The provision expense recorded for commercial and industrial loans was primarily attributed to a $500,000 loan charge off. The provision expense recorded for consumer loans was primarily attributed to a net charge off $20,000 in checking account overdrafts during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the reversal of the provision recorded for residential real estate loans and non-residential real estate loans was primarily attributed to improving economic and housing conditions in the Bank’s lending submarkets. The provision expense recorded for commercial and industrial loans was attributed to slightly increased credit risk. The provision expense recorded for construction loans was primarily attributed to increased loan balances, offset by improving economic and housing conditions in the Bank’s lending submarkets. The provision expense recorded for consumer loans was primarily attributed to a net charge off $403,000 in checking account overdrafts during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the provision expense recorded for construction loans was primarily attributed to increased loan balances. The reversal of the provision recorded for residential real estate loans and non-residential real estate loans was primarily attributed to slightly decreased loan balances. The provision expense recorded for commercial and industrial loans was primarily attributed to a $500,000 loan charge off. The provision expense recorded for consumer loans was primarily attributed to a net charge off $47,000 in checking account overdrafts during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the provision expense recorded for residential real estate loans was primarily attributed to increased loan balances, offset by improving economic and housing conditions in the Bank’s local markets. The provision expense recorded for commercial and industrial loans was attributed to increased loan balances and slightly increased credit risk. The reversal of the provision recorded for non-residential real estate loans was primarily attributed to a $350,000 recovery from a loan charged off in 2021, and slightly decreased loan balances. The reversal of the provision recorded for construction loans was primarily attributed to improving economic and housing conditions in the Bank’s local markets, offset by decreased loan balances. The provision expense recorded for consumer loans was primarily attributed to a net charge off $518,000 in checking account overdrafts during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The Company had no individually evaluated loan and no non-accrual loans at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually to classify the loans as to credit risk. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass – Loans that 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 in a timely manner.

Special Mention – Loans which do not currently expose the Company to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant an adverse classification but have some credit deficiencies or other potential weaknesses.

Substandard – Loans which are inadequately protected by the paying capacity and net worth of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – Loans which have all of the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values.

Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty:

Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing a term extension; an other-than-insignificant payment delay; or an interest rate reduction.

In some cases, the Company provides multiple types of concessions on a loan. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as an interest rate reduction, may be granted.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, three loans totaling $17.4 million were modified to one borrower experiencing financial difficulty. There were no loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The following table describes the financial effect of the modification made to the borrower experiencing financial difficulty:
