Credit Quality Indicators

 

The Corporation grades commercial credits differently than consumer credits. The following tables represent all of the Corporation’s commercial credit exposures by internally assigned grades as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations under the loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The Corporation's internal commercial credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

 

The Corporation's internally assigned grades for commercial credits are as follows:

 

· Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.

 

· Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem, if not corrected. 

 

· Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

· Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset.  In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

 

· Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

Agriculture – Loans made to individuals or operating companies within the Agricultural industry.  These loans are generally secured by a first lien mortgage on agricultural land.  The primary source of repayment is the income and assets of the borrower.  The condition of the agriculture industry as well as the condition of the national economy is an important indicator of risk for this segment. 

 

Business Loans —Loans made to operating companies or manufacturers for the purpose of production, operating capacity, accounts receivable, inventory or equipment financing. The primary source of repayment for these loans is cash flow from the operations of the company.   The condition of the national economy is an important indicator of risk, but there are also more specific risks depending on the industry of the company. This segment also includes loans made to finance construction of buildings or other structures, as well as to finance the Acquisition and development of raw land for various purposes. While the risk of these loans is generally confined to the construction period, if there are problems, the project may not be completed, and as such, may not provide sufficient cash flow on its own to service the debt or have sufficient value in a liquidation to cover the outstanding principal. The condition of the national economy is an important indicator of risk, but there are also more specific risks depending on the type of project and the experience and resources of the developer.

 

Consumer - Loans made to individuals that may be secured by assets other than 1-4 family residences, as well as unsecured loans. This segment includes personal loans and lines of credit that may be secured or unsecured.  The primary source of repayment for these loans is the income and assets of the borrower. The condition of the national economy, in particular the unemployment rate, is an important indicator of risk for this segment. The value of the collateral, if there is any, is less likely to be a source of repayment due to less certain collateral values.

 

Home Equity– This segment generally includes lines of credit and term loans secured by the equity in the borrower’s residence.  The primary source of repayment for these facilities is the income and assets of the borrower. The condition of the national economy, in particular the unemployment rate, is an important indicator of risk for this segment. The state of the national housing market can also have a significant impact on this segment because low demand and/or declining home values can limit the ability of borrowers to sell a property and satisfy the debt.

 

Non-Owner Occupied CRE - Loans secured by commercial purpose real estate for various purposes such as hotels, retail, multifamily and health care. The primary sources of repayment for these loans are the operations of the individual projects and global cash flows of the debtors. The condition of the national economy is an important indicator of risk, but there are also more specific risks depending on the collateral type and the business prospects of the lessee.

 

Residential Real Estate—Loans secured by first liens on 1-4 family residential mortgages. The primary source of repayment for these loans is the income and assets of the borrower. The condition of the national economy, in particular the unemployment rate, is an important indicator of risk for this segment. The state of the national housing market can also have a significant impact on this segment because low demand and/or declining home values can limit the ability of borrowers to sell a property and satisfy the debt.

Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

The Corporation may grant a modification to borrowers in financial distress by providing a temporary reduction in interest rate, or an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date. Loan modifications are intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral.

 

The Corporation identifies loans for potential restructure primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower's financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future. There were no modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that resulted in a concession for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 or for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
