NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These consolidated financial statements conform to U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and to general industry practices. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2022as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, and the results of operations for the three-three months ended March 31, 2023 and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.2022. The Notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for a full year or any future period.

The consolidated financial statements include New Peoples, the Bank, NPB Insurance Services, Inc., and NPB Web Services, Inc. (hereinafter, collectively referred to as the Company, we, us or our). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 942, Financial Services – Depository and Lending, NPB Capital Trust I and 2 are not included in the consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the determination of the deferred tax asset and arecredit is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation. None of these reclassifications are considered material and have no impact on net income.

The Company’s significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2022, except for the following:

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses.

In addition, CECL made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available for sale debt securities if management does not intend to sell and does not believe that it is more likely than not, they will be required to sell.

The Company adopted ASC 326 and all related subsequent amendments thereto effective January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The transition adjustment of the adoption of CECL included a decrease in the allowance for credit losses on loans of $80,000, which is presented as a reduction to net loans outstanding, and an increase in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $348,000, which is recorded within other liabilities. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $212,000 as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect of adopting CECL, which reflects the transition adjustments noted above, net of the applicable deferred tax assets recorded. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under CECL while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable accounting standards (“Incurred Loss”).

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to January 1, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any other-than-temporarily impaired investment securities. Therefore, upon adoption of ASC 326, the Company determined that an allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities was not deemed material.

The following table illustrates the impact on the allowance for credit losses from the adoption of ASC 326:

The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable and instead elected to reverse interest income on loans or securities that are placed on nonaccrual status, which is generally when the instrument is 90 days past due, or earlier if the Company believes the collection of interest is doubtful. The Company has concluded that this policy results in the timely reversal of uncollectible interest.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Available for Sale Securities

For available for sale securities, management evaluates all investments in an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. If the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security, the security is written down to fair value and the entire loss is recorded in earnings.

If either of the above criteria is not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value is the result of credit losses or other factors. In making the assessment, the Company may consider various factors including the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, performance on any underlying collateral, downgrades in the ratings of the security by a rating agency, the failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments and adverse conditions specifically related to the security. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security and any excess is recorded as an allowance for credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any amount of unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.

9

 

Changes in the allowance for credit loss are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance for credit loss when management believes an available for sale security is confirmed to be uncollectible or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. As of March 31, 2023, there was no allowance for credit loss related to the available for sale portfolio.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts and deferred fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable related to loans totaled $1.9 million at March 31, 2023 and was reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using methods that approximate a level yield without anticipating prepayments.

The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due and is not well collateralized and in the process of collection, or when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the principal or interest will not be collectible in the normal course of business. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. A loan is considered to be past due when a scheduled payment has not been received 30 days after the contractual due date.

All accrued interest is reversed against interest income when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest received on such loans is accounted for using the cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, there is a sustained period of repayment performance, and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in loans as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for credit losses is estimated by management using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The Company primarily utilizes the cohort and the probability of default/loss given default methodologies for its reasonable and supportable forecasting of current expected credit losses. To further adjust the allowance for credit losses for expected losses not already included within the quantitative component of the calculation, the Company may consider the following qualitative adjustment factors: changes to: lending policies and procedures, national and local economic conditions, the experience and ability of management and staff; the volume and severity of past due, rated and nonaccrual assets, loan review system, collateral value, concentrations of credit, and legal or regulatory requirements and competition.

The Company measures expected credit losses for loans on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments and calculates the allowance for credit losses for each using a discounted cash flow methodology:

·Commercial Loans. We make commercial loans to qualified businesses in our market area. Our commercial lending consists primarily of commercial and industrial loans to finance accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment. Commercial business loans generally have a higher degree of risk than residential mortgage loans, but have commensurately higher yields. Residential mortgage loans are generally made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from employment and other income and are secured by real estate whose value tends to be easily ascertainable. In contrast, commercial business loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from cash flow from its business and are secured by business assets, such as commercial real estate, accounts receivable, equipment and inventory. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Further, the collateral for commercial business loans may depreciate over time and cannot be appraised with as much precision as residential real estate. To manage these risks, our underwriting guidelines generally require us to secure commercial loans with both the assets of the borrowing business and other additional collateral and guarantees that may be available. In addition, we actively monitor certain measures of the borrower, including advance rate, cash flow, collateral value and other appropriate credit factors.

10

·Residential Mortgage Loans. Our residential mortgage loans consist of residential first and second mortgage loans, residential construction loans, home equity lines of credit and term loans secured by first and second mortgages on the residences of borrowers for home improvements, education and other personal expenditures. We make mortgage loans with a variety of terms, including fixed and floating or variable rates and a variety of maturities. Under our underwriting guidelines, residential mortgage loans are generally made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from employment and other income and are secured by real estate whose value tends to be easily ascertainable. These loans are made consistent with our appraisal policies and real estate lending policies, which detail maximum loan-to-value ratios and maturities.
·Construction Loans. Construction lending entails significant additional risks compared to residential mortgage lending. Construction loans often involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Construction loans also involve additional risks attributable to the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the security of property under construction, which is of uncertain value prior to the completion of construction. Thus, it is more difficult to evaluate the total loan funds required to complete a project and related loan-to-value ratios accurately. To minimize the risks associated with construction lending, loan-to-value limitations for residential, multi-family and non-residential construction loans are in place. These are in addition to the usual credit analyses of borrowers. Management feels that the loan-to-value ratios help to minimize the risk of loss and to compensate for normal fluctuations in the real estate market. Maturities for construction loans generally range from 4 to 12 months for residential property and from 6 to 18 months for non-residential and multi-family properties.
·Consumer Loans. Our consumer loans consist primarily of installment loans to individuals for personal, family and household purposes. The specific types of consumer loans that we make include home improvement loans, debt consolidation loans and general consumer lending. Consumer loans entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured, such as lines of credit, or secured by rapidly depreciating assets such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance due to the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. The remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans. A borrower may also be able to assert against the Bank as an assignee any claims and defenses that it has against the seller of the underlying collateral.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. The Company designates loan relationships of $250,000 or more that have been determined to meet the regulatory definitions of “special mention” or “classified” (together known as “criticized”) as individually evaluated. The fair value of individually evaluated loans is measured using the fair value of collateral (“collateral method”) or the DCF method.

·The collateral method is applied to individually evaluated loans for which foreclosure is probable. The collateral method is also applied to individually evaluated loans when borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral (“collateral dependent”). The allowance for credit loss is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to be from the operation of the collateral, the allowance for credit loss is calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the loan exceeds the present value of expected cash flows from the operation of the collateral. When repayment is expected to be from the sale of the collateral, the allowance for credit loss is calculated as the amount by which the loan's amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated cost to sell. The allowance for credit loss may be zero if the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date exceeds the amortized cost basis of the loan.
·The DCF method is applied to individually evaluated loans that do not meet the criteria for collateral method measurement. Cash flows are projected and discounted using the same method as for collectively evaluated loans, and the Company considers default and prepayment assumptions.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Unfunded Commitments

Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

The Company records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to provision for unfunded commitments, which is included in the provision for credit losses, in the Company’s income statements. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the current expected credit loss model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur as well as any third-party guarantees. The allowance for unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

11

On January 1, 2023, concurrent with its adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, the Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Disclosures about periods prior to adoption will be presented under GAAP applicable for that period.

Similar to its policy under previous GAAP, the Company continues to identify modifications to loans and to determine whether the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. If the Company determines that the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, the loan's risk rating is evaluated to determine whether it falls within the regulatory definition of “criticized” and requires individual evaluation. Under previous GAAP, modifications to loans when the borrower was experiencing financial difficulty were designated as TDR and were individually evaluated for the duration of the loan. Under CECL, if a previously modified loan with financial difficulty is subsequently upgraded to a pass rating, it will no longer be individually evaluated.

NOTE 3 EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic Earningsearnings per share computations are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, there were no potential common shares.

NOTE 4 CAPITAL

Capital Requirements and Ratios

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.

To qualify as a "Small Bank Holding Company" under federal regulations, a bank must have consolidated assets of $3 billion or less. The primary benefit of being deemed a "Small Bank Holding Company" is the exemption from the requirement to maintain consolidated regulatory capital ratios; instead, regulatory capital ratios only apply at the subsidiary bank level.

The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (BASEL III rules) became fully phased in on January 1, 2019. Under the BASEL III rules, the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer required is 2.50%2.50%. At June 30, 2022,As of March 31, 2023, the Bank had a capital conservation buffer of 8.21%8.58%. Amounts recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes as of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At June 30, 2022,As of March 31, 2023, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.

12

In February 2019, the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies approved a final rule modifying their regulatory capital rules and providing an option to phase-in over a three-year period the Day 1 adverse regulatory capital effects of the CECL accounting standard. Additionally, in March 2020, the U.S. Federal bank regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that provides banking organizations an option to delay the estimated CECL impact on regulatory capital for an additional two years for a total transition period of up to five years. The final rule was adopted and became effective in September 2020. The Company implemented the CECL model commencing January 1, 2023, and elected not to phase in the effect of CECL on regulatory capital.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table as of June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, loans were considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it was $11 thousandprobable the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreements. Impaired loans include loans on nonaccrual status and $264 thousand, respectively.accruing troubled debt restructurings. When determining if the Company would be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement, the Company considered the borrower’s capacity to pay, which included such factors as the borrower’s current financial statements, an analysis of global cash flow sufficient to pay all debt obligations and an evaluation of secondary sources of repayment, such as guarantor support and collateral value. The Company individually assessed for impairment all nonaccrual loans greater than $250,000 and all troubled debt restructurings, whether or not currently classified as such. The tables below include all loans deemed impaired, whether or not individually assessed for impairment. If a loan was deemed impaired, a specific valuation allowance was allocated, if necessary, so that the loan was reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment was expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans were typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount was reasonably assured, in which case interest was recognized on a cash basis.

The Company categorizes loans receivable 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 by classifying the loans receivable as to credit risk. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass- Loans in this category are considered to have a low likelihood of loss based on relevant information analyzed about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt and other factors.

Special Mention- Loans in this category are currently protected but are potentially weak, including adverse trends in borrower’s operations, credit quality or financial strength. Those loans constitute an undue and unwarranted credit risk but not to the point of justifying a substandard classification. The credit risk may be relatively minor yet constitute an unwarranted risk in light of the circumstances.  Special mention loans have potential weaknesses which may, if not checked or corrected, weaken the loan or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard- A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound net 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 institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as substandard, plus 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.

NOTE 7 ALLOWANCE FOR LOANCREDIT LOSSES FOR LOANS (“ACLL”)

In determining the amount of our allowance for loancredit losses, we rely on an analysis of our loan portfolio, our experience and our evaluation of general economic conditions. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, our current allowance may not be sufficient to cover future loan losses and we may experience significant increases to our provision. Due to the underlying SBA guarantee provided for PPP loans, these accounts were not included in either the portfolio segment or impairment calculations at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Additionally, due to uncertainties presented by the ongoing pandemic and the resulting economic uncertainty, internal and external qualitative factors were revised accordingly. This revision included reviewing our internal scoring related to loan modifications and extensions, and external factors, specifically, unemployment and other economic factors.

The following table presents a disaggregated analysis of activity in the allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2023:

Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

NOTE 8 TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGSMODIFICATIONS MADE TO BORROWERS EXPERIENCING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY

The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company uses a discounted cash flow methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.

Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. Occasionally, the Company modifies loans by providing principal forgiveness on certain of its real estate loans. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.

In some cases, the Company will modify a certain loan by providing multiple types of concessions. 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 principal forgiveness, may be granted.

There were $2.2 million and $2.5no loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Additionally, there were no loans that had a payment default during the quarter that were modified in the previous 12 months.

Prior to adoption of ASC 2022-02, there were $2.0 million in loans classified as troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2022 andas of December 31, 2021, respectively.2022. All loans considered to be troubled debt restructurings are individually evaluated for impairment as part of the allowance for loan losses calculation. No loans modified during the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2022, or June 30, 2021, were considered to be troubled debt restructurings.

Three loans totaling $84 thousand, secured by residential real estate, previously modified as troubled debt restructurings, defaulted duringFor the three months ended June 30, 2022. One loan totaling $81 thousand, previouslyMarch 31, 2022, there were no loans modified as a troubletroubled debt restructuring that subsequently defaulted during the first threewithin twelve months of 2022, was in compliance with the terms of the restructuring at June 30, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, two loans to the same borrower, previously modified as troubled debt restructurings, totaling $1.1 million defaulted, resulting in charge-offs totaling $835 thousand. No loans previously modified as troubled debt restructurings defaulted during the first three months of 2021.loan modification. Generally, a restructured troubled debt is considered to be in default once it becomes 90 days or more past due following a modification.

In determining theNOTE 9 CREDIT ALLOWANCE FOR UNFUNDED COMMITMENTS

The Company maintains a separate allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures, including unfunded loan commitments, which is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The allowance for credit losses management considers troubled debt restructuringsfor off-balance-sheet credit exposures is adjusted through a provision for credit losses in the income statement. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and subsequent defaults inan estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, utilizing the same models and approaches for the Company's other loan portfolio segments described above, as these restructurings inunfunded commitments share similar risk characteristics as its estimate.loan portfolio segments. The Company evaluates all troubled debt restructuringshas identified the unfunded portion of certain lines of credit as unconditionally cancellable credit exposures, meaning the Company can cancel the unfunded commitment at any time. No credit loss estimate is reported for possible further impairment. As a result,off-balance-sheet credit exposures that are unconditionally cancellable by the allowanceCompany or for undrawn amounts under such arrangements that may be increased, adjustments may be made indrawn prior to the allocationcancellation of the allowance, or charge-offs may be taken to further write down the carrying value of the loan.

On January 1, 2023, the Company recorded an adjustment to initiate an allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $348,000 for the adoptions of ASC Topic 326. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a reversal to the provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $24,000. At March 31, 2023, the liability for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures included in other liabilities was $324,000.

NOTE 10 11 FAIR VALUES

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) ASC, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market and in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in the principal or most advantageous market and in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

21

 

In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

Level 2: Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

Level 3: Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy are as follows:

Investment Securities Available for Sale - Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices. The Company’s available for sale securities, totaling $100.6$96.7 million and $107.4$96.1 million at June 30, 2022as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, are the only assets whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs from an independent pricing service.

Collateral Dependent Loans with an ACL - The Company does not recordIn accordance with ASC 326, we may determine that an individual loan exhibits unique risk characteristics which differentiate it from other loans at fair valuewithin our loan pools. In such cases, the loans are evaluated for expected credit losses on a recurring basis. Real estate serves as collateral on a substantial majorityan individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. Specific allocations of the Company’s loans. When aallowance for credit losses are determined by analyzing the borrower's ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the relative risk grade of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrower's industry, among other things. A loan is considered impaired, a specific reserve may be established. Loans, which are deemed to be impairedcollateral dependent when, based upon management's assessment, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and require a reserve are primarily valued on a non-recurring basis atrepayment is expected to be provided substantially through the fair valueoperation or sale of the underlying real estate collateral.

The Company records impairedfair value of real estate collateral supporting collateral dependent loans as nonrecurring Level 3 assets.


is evaluated by appraisal services using a methodology that is consistent with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.

Other Real Estate Owned –Other real estate owned is adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans, or former bank premises, to other real estate owned. These assets are carried at the lower of their carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon observable market prices, when available, reduced by estimated disposition costs, which the Company considers to be nonrecurring Level 2 inputs. When observable market prices are not available, management determines the fair value of the foreclosed asset using independent third-party appraisals, evaluated to determine whether or not the property is further impaired below the appraised value, and adjusts for estimated costs of disposition. The Company records foreclosed assets as nonrecurring Level 3.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate the value is based upon the characteristics of the instruments and relevant market information. Financial instruments include cash, evidence of ownership in an entity, or contracts that convey or impose on an entity that contractual right or obligation to either receive or deliver cash for another financial instrument.

The following summary presents the methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments presented below. The information used to determine fair value is highly subjective and judgmental in nature and, therefore, the results may not be precise. Subjective factors include, among other things, estimates of cash flows, risk characteristics, credit quality, and interest rates, all of which are subject to change. Since the fair value is estimated as of the balance sheet date, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid upon settlement or maturity on these various instruments could be significantly different.

The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are not required to be measured or reported at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2021,2022, are as follows:

time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect the estimates.

Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using historical data, as generally provided in the Company’s regulatory reports, and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. The Company’s fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s other financial instruments.

The carrying values of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits, deposits with no stated maturities trust preferred securities and accrued interest approximates fair value and are excluded from the table above.

In accordance with our adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01 in 2018, the methods utilized to measure the fair value of financial instruments at June 30, 2022as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, represent an approximation of exit price; however, an actual exit price may differ.

NOTE 11 12 LEASING ACTIVITIES

As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Bank leases four branch office sites resulting from sale leaseback transactions entered into in 2017offices and a subletsublets of a lot adjacent to another branch office. The lease agreements have maturity dates ranging from May 2032 to December 2041. It is assumed that there are currently no circumstances in which the leases would be terminated prior to expiration. The weighted average remaining life of the lease terms at June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was 10.129.35 years.

The discount rate used in determining the lease liability for each individual lease was the FHLB fixed advance rate which corresponded to the lease term for each transaction. This methodology is expected to be used for any other subsequent lease agreements. The weighted average discount rate for the leases at June 30, 2022as of March 31, 2023 was 3.24%3.29%.

NOTE 16 RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

The following is a summary of recent authoritative announcements:

In June 2016, per ASU No. 2016-13, ‘Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,’ the FASB issued guidance to change the accounting for credit losses and modify the impairment model for certain debt securities. Subsequently, perThe Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023. The Company recognized an adjustment to retained earnings in the amount of $212,000, and recorded an adjustment to the allowance for credit losses in loans and unfunded commitments on loans in the amount of $80,000 and $348,000, respectively.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, implementation2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The ASU is effective for the Company is delayed until reportingfiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022.2023. Early adoption is permitted for all organizations for periods beginning after December 15, 2018.permitted. The Company is currently evaluatingdoes not expect the effect that implementationadoption of the new standard willASU 2022-03 to have on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company has contracted with a software vendor and is currently working through the implementation process. The new model has been constructed, initial assumptions have been input and historical loan and loss activity has been input and validated. The Company will run the new methodology parallel to the current allowance methodology for several periods before full implementation, beginning with the June 30, 2022 data.

 23

In March 2020, the FASB released ASU 2020-04, ‘Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,’ which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are elective and apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in the Update are effective for the Company as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is working through implementation of this guidance, and to date this amendment has not had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2021, the FASB released ASU 2021-01, ‘Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848),’ which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition related to reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective immediately for all entities. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in the Update on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or on a prospective basis to new modifications from any date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to the date of the issuance of a final Update, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. The Company does not expect this amendment to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” ASU 2022-02 addresses areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the credit losses standard (ASU 2016-13) that introduced the CECL model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require a public business entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively, except for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13, the effective dates for ASU 2022-02 are the same as the effective dates in ASU 2016-13. Early adoption is permitted if an entity has adopted ASU 2016-13. An entity may elect to early adopt the amendments about TDRs and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. The Company is currently assessingadopted this guidance on January 1, 2023 and it did not have a material impact on the impact that ASU 2022-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848”. ASU 2022-06 extends the period of time preparers can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance in Topic 848. The objective of the guidance in Topic 848 is to provide relief during the temporary transition period, so the FASB included a sunset provision within Topic 848 based on expectations of when the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) would cease being published. In 2021, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) delayed the intended cessation date of certain tenors of USD LIBOR to June 30, 2023.

To ensure the relief in Topic 848 covers the period of time during which a significant number of modifications may take place, the ASU defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The ASU is effective for all entities upon issuance. The Company is assessing ASU 2022-06 and its impact on the Company’s transition away from LIBOR for its loan and other financial instruments that have not already been transitioned to an alternative reference rate.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Caution About Forward-Looking Statements

We make forward-looking statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding expectations, intentions, projections and beliefs concerning our profitability, liquidity, and allowance for loancredit losses, interest rate sensitivity, market risk, growth strategy, and financial and other goals. The words “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or other similar words or terms are intended to identify forward looking statements. The forward-looking information is based on various factors and was derived using numerous assumptions. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ from projections include:

27

Because of these uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, our past results of operations do not necessarily indicate our future results. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Critical Accounting Policies

For discussion of our significant accounting policies, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the 20212022, and Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Item 1 of this Form 10-K).10-Q. Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. Our most critical accounting policies relate to our provisionallowance for loan losses and the calculation of our deferred tax asset.credit losses.

The allowance represents an amount that, in the Company's judgment, will be adequate to absorb probableexpected and estimable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectability of loans while taking into consideration such factors as trends in delinquencies and charge-offs for relevant periods of time, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current, reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions that may affect a borrower's ability to repay and the value of collateral, overall portfolio quality and review of specific potential losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective because it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based upon the difference between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate. In the past, the Company provided a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets where it was deemed more likely than not such assets would not be realized. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

For further discussion of the deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, we refer you to the section on “Deferred Tax Asset and Income Taxes” below.

Overview and Highlights

On June 15, 2022, we became aware of a cybersecurity incident that temporarily interrupted the operability of our computer systems. As a result of this incident branch services could not be providedNet income for two and one-half days, however, customers had access to our Interactive Teller Machine (ITM) network and credit and debit card activity was available. Limited branch operations resumed on June 17, 2022, and full operations were restored on June 21, 2022. On June 29, 2022, we issued a press release outlining the timeline, restoration efforts and communications, services and safeguards being offered to our customers in response to this incident, and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the incident. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, expenses related to the cybersecurity incident were recorded for insurance deductibles along with costs for onsite security provided during the first few days that lobby serviceMarch 31, 2023 was restarted. Certain other direct costs for forensic, legal and recovery services, along with communication management, will be disbursed during the third quarter and are expected to be recovered through insurance coverage.

To minimize the inconvenience to our customers, we increased ITM withdrawal, and debit card transaction limits for all customers and temporarily eliminated overdraft fees. These actions resulted in$2.0 million, an increase in overdrawn deposit accounts and a reduction of overdraft revenue that impacted the second quarter of 2022, and is expected to have ongoing impact into the third quarter of 2022.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we earned net income of $1.9 million, which equates to $0.08 per share, and is $260 thousand higher than the $1.7 million net income during$100,000, or 5.2%, from the same period in 2021.

The increase was primarily due to improvement in the net interest margin to 3.83% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 3.53% for the income statement improved, with the exceptionfirst quarter of noninterest income, which was impacted by the cybersecurity incident. Net interest income grew $193 thousand, provision for loan losses decreased $111 thousand, non-interest income decreased $30 thousand, and non-interest expense decreased $66 thousand. Consequently, income tax expense increased $80 thousand2022 due to the increase in income before income taxes.

The primary driver for the same six-month period in 2021. All major components of the income statement improved with the exception of noninterest expense. Net interest income grew $401 thousand, provision for loan losses decreased $197 thousand, non-interest income increased $210 thousand, and non-interest expense increased $24 thousand. Consequently, income tax expense increased $188 thousand due to theearnings was an increase in net interest income before income taxes.of $447,000 and a reduction of the provision for credit losses of $100,000, offset by an increase in total noninterest expense of $431,000. The increase in total non-interest expense is related to increases in salaries and employee benefits as well as data processing and telecommunications expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits related to bonus accruals and performance raises, and benefits enhancements made in the first quarter of 2023.

The balance sheet grew to $847.0$793.6 million as of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, from $794.6$775.4 million as of December 31, 2021,2022, funded by deposits which increased $16.1 million to $708.8 million as of March 31, 2023 from $692.7 million as of December 31, 2022. These deposits funded an increase of $10.3 million in interest bearing deposits in other banks and an increase of $5.88 million in gross loans. The increase in gross loans is due to Federal Home Loan Bank advances taken as a precautionary measuremoderate increase in responseloan demand and less prepayment activity due to the cybersecurity incident. Total deposits decreased $449 thousand to $707.1 million at June 30, 2022 from $707.5 million at December 31, 2021. Loans decreased $8.1 million to $585.6 million during the first six months of 2022, due to repayments of several large commercial real estate loans combined with PPP loan repayments of approximately $5.6 million.higher interest rate environment.

During the second quarter of 2022, plans were announced for the closure of branch offices in Big Stone Gap and Chilhowie, Virginia in mid-August 2022. Affected personnel will be reassigned, and customer accounts will be transferred to nearby offices.

During the second quarter of 2022, we initiated a previously announced stock repurchase program. Through June 30, 2022, 16,510March 31, 2023, 93,527 shares have been repurchased at an average price of $2.28$2.32 per share.

Comparison of the Three Months ended June 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021

While the cybersecurity incident impacted branch operations and limited our abilities for loan and financial services production, the results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are favorable before considering the effect of the cybersecurity incident.

Based on our current assessment of the loan portfolio a lowerand related unfunded commitments, there was no provision of $75 thousand wasfor credit losses made in the secondfirst quarter of 2022, after considering2023, compared to $100,000 for the overall loan quality, despite increasesfirst quarter of 2022. Subsequent to past due and nonaccrual loans duringadoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023, based on management's analysis since the three months ended June 30, 2022. These increases appear to be attributable to delays in providing account notices duringimplementation date through March 31, 2023, no further provision for credit losses was required for the latter portion of June 2022. Although the provision declined from the same period of 2021, thefirst quarter. The allowance for loancredit losses as a percentage of loans increaseddecreased from 1.13%1.15% at December 31, 20212022 to 1.16%1.13% as of June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. For a discussion of the factors affecting the allowance for loancredit losses, including provision expense, refer to Note 7, Allowance for LoanCredit Losses for Loans, in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

NoninterestNon-interest income increased $30,000 to $2.4 million for the second quarter ended March 31, 2023 from $2.4 million for the comparable quarter in 2022. The primary driver of the increase was the sale of the former call center building in Bristol, Virginia, and a former branch office in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, which resulted in a combined gain of $130,000. This was offset by decreases in service charge income and card processing fees totaling a combined $107,000 during the period. Service charge income decreased due to changes made in 2022 in assessing certain charges, that reduced the number of transactions subject to such fees. Fees from debit card activity declined, as stimulus funds payments resulting from tax credits and direct payments have been curtailed.

Non-interest expense was $2.3$6.9 million a decrease of $30 thousand, or 1.3%, whenfor the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2021. During the period immediately after the cybersecurity incident, we temporarily stopped assessing overdraft and certain other service charges. While service charges$6.4 million for the three monthsquarter ended June 30, 2022, exceeded the same three-month periodMarch 31, 2022. The $431,000 increase was impacted by increases in 2021 by $56 thousand, we estimate that additional normalized charges of approximately $125 thousand would have been realized during this period. Card processing and interchange revenue decreased $45 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, due to a decline in transaction volume. Revenue from financial services activities decreased $33 thousand, or 12.0%, as we were limited in executing client transactions, especially new account activity during the disruption to our computer systems.

Total non-interest expense decreased $66 thousand, year-over-year for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022. Increases to salaries and employee benefits expenses of $283 thousand were largely offset by reduced occupancy expenses,as well as data processing and other noninterest expenses which decreased $167 thousand, $52 thousand and $130 thousand, respectively.telecommunications expenses. The increase toin salaries and employee benefits was duerelated to the impact of overall salary adjustments implementedbonus accruals and performance raises, and benefits enhancements made during the fourthfirst quarter of 2021 and accruals2023. As previously reported, the Company approved a Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), effective February 27, 2023, for performance related payments in 2022 that had not yet been implemented in 2021. These changes accounted for $91 thousand and $72 thousandcash incentive awards to Plan participants based on quarterly earnings per share of the overall increase to salaries and benefits. Occupancy expense benefitted from reduced depreciation and property tax expenses, which decreased $113 thousand and $15 thousand, respectively, due to the disposals of real estate and equipment over the past year. The decrease in other nonoperating expenses was due largely to reduced costs associated with loan collections and costs associated with the foreclosure and holding of other real estate owned. In addition, certain costs associated with the recovery from the cyber security incident, including insurance deductibles, were recorded during the second quarter of 2022.common stock.

The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, which is defined as noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income plus noninterest income, improvedincreased to 72.4%72.56% for secondfirst three months of 2023 from 71.59% for the first quarter of 2022 from 74.5% for the second quarter of 2021.2022. We continue to assess our operational procedures and structure to improve efficiencies and contain costs. A review of deposit operations is scheduled for the third quarter of 2022

On April 29, 2022, the Bank notified its principal regulators that it will be closing branch offices in Big Stone Gap and Chilhowie, Virginia, on August 12, 2022. Accounts serviced at these offices will be transferred to nearby branches, and employees will be reassigned to other positions or offices, as available. Interactive teller machines at these locations will remain in service for the foreseeable future. This restructuring of the branch network should improve the efficiency of services to the customers of these communities.

Income tax expense for the secondfirst quarter of 20222023 totaled $536 thousand,$576,000, an increase of $80 thousand,$46,000, or 17.5%8.68% from the $456 thousand$530,000 recorded during the same period in 2021.2022. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, was 21.8%22.2%, compared to 21.5%21.6% for the same period in 2021.2022. The year-over-year, quarterly increase generally approximates the percentage increase of pre-tax earnings.

During the first six months of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021, net interest income increased $401 thousand2023 primarily due to a reduction in interest expense on depositsdecrease of $424 thousand, partially offset by increases to the cost of borrowed funds of $73 thousand. The increase in expense for borrowed funds was due to $95$2.7 million of FHLB advances taken during the second quarter, combined with rate increases on trust preferred securities. The reduction in interest expense on deposits was driven mainly by a reduction in the average cost of retail time deposits, which declined 27 basis points, to 0.76% from 1.03%, plusunrealized loss position offset by a decrease in average balancesmortgage-backed securities, agencies, and collateralized mortgage obligations of $34.9 million. There was a modest increase in interest income of $50 thousand$2.1 million, collectively, due to increases to the investment portfolio andprincipal repayments of amortizing investments.

Gross loans increased rates paid on deposits with other banks. These improvements offset reductions in loan interest and fees due principally to the reduction in fees from PPP loan repayments as these fees fell $535 thousand during the comparative six-month periods. As a result, the net interest margin for the first half of 2022 was 3.52%, a reduction of 3 bps compared to 3.55% for the first half of 2021.

During the first six months of 2022, the FOMC increased the discount rate three times for a total of 150 bps. This increased interest rate environment has improved returns on certain assets that immediately adjust as these changes are made, such as interest-bearing deposits in other banks, credit cards, home equity lines of credit and certain commercial and commercial real estate loans. It is anticipated that yields on these assets will improve moving forward. Conversely, it is expected that there will be a need to adjust, upward, rates paid on deposit accounts, which will increase our overall cost of funds. Additionally, in response to the cybersecurity incident, in early August 2022, we began offering a customer appreciation time deposit product to recognize the patience and loyalty of our customers. This product pays a higher rate than is currently offered on similar non-promotional products and is expected to contribute to an increased cost of funds going forward.

Based on our current assessment of the loan portfolio, $175 thousand was provided to the allowance for loan losses$5.9 million, or 1.0% during the first sixthree months of 2022 compared2023. The increase is primarily related to $372 thousand provided during the same period in 2021. For more information on the factors affecting the allowance for loan losses, including provision expense, refer to Note 7, Allowance for loan Losses, in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Depending on changes to economic conditionsmultifamily and the impact those changes may have on individual borrowers, it is possible that additional provisions may be needed beyond those necessary to support organic growth of the loan portfolio.

Total non-interest income for the first half of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 grew by $210 thousand to $4.7 million. This improvement was driven by increases in service charges and fees whichresidential 1-4 family real estate secured loans. Multifamily real estate loans increased $231 thousand or 13.8%, despite the negative impact during the second quarter resulting from foregoing certain charges during the cybersecurity incident, as previously discussed. Card processing and interchange income showed a slight increase of $7 thousand, as transaction volume has plateaued, as consumers respond to the cessation of stimulus payments and the effects of historic inflation. Financial services revenues of $483 thousand represent a decrease of $18 thousand or 3.6%. As previously discussed, our ability to provide certain services was hampered during the latter portion of June 2022, and it is uncertain whether those lost opportunities can be recovered.


For the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, total non-interest expense increased $24 thousand, to $13.1 million. The modest increase was due to reductions to occupancy, data processing and other noninterest expenses of $337 thousand, $71 thousand and $47 thousand, respectively which offset increases to salaries and benefits of $479 thousand. As discussed previously, salaries and benefits increased year-over-year due to the impact of overall salary adjustments implemented during the fourth quarter of 2021 and accruals for performance related payments in 2022 that had not yet been fully initiated in 2021. Also, as discussed, occupancy costs decreased due to the reduction of depreciation and property tax costs from the reduction and disposition of branches and equipment, which decreased year-over-year $208 thousand and $28 thousand, respectively. It is anticipated that the branch closings scheduled for August 12, 2022 will serve to further reduce occupancy and related costs. Data processing and telecommunication costs decreased due to negotiated reductions for the cost, or elimination, of certain services, as local phone and data line costs decreased $30 thousand and data processing costs decreased $37 thousand for the comparative year-to-date periods. Other noninterest expenses benefited from reduced costs associated with loan collection efforts which decreased $50 thousand for the first six months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021.

The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, improved to 72.0% for the first half of 2022 from 74.4% for the first half of 2021.

Balance Sheet

Balance sheet growth in 2022, specifically activity during the second quarter, was impacted by efforts to address any possible adverse impact from the cybersecurity incident. As a preventative measure against a possible surge in deposit withdrawal activity, we obtained FHLB advances totaling $95 million, transferred additional funds to our account at the Federal Reserve Bank and temporarily increased cash on hand at various branch locations. As we moved from the immediate aftermath of the incident, we repaid $35 million of FHLB advances prior to June 30, 2022.

Total assets increased $52.4$4.5 million, or 6.6%15%, to $847.0 million at June 30, 2022 from $794.6 million at$29.7 as of December 31, 2021. This growth was primarily driven by the FHLB advances2022 to $34.2 million as total deposits decreased $449 thousand, as noninterest-bearing depositsof March 31, 2023. Residential 1-4 family real estate increased $8.7 million while interest-bearing deposits decreased $9.2 million. The year-to-date deposit activity is due to a combination of factors including customer reaction to the cybersecurity incident, time deposit customers seeking higher interest rates and actions taken by customers at the two branch locations scheduled for closure in August 2022. The FHLB advance funds were transferred to interest bearing deposits with other banks which increased $60.0 million year-to-date.

Total investments decreased $6.7$1.5 million, or 6.3%, to $100.60.7% from $227.2 million at June 30, 2022 due primarily to an increaseas of $12.8 million in net unrealized losses and $8.6 million of repayments and maturities, which more than offset purchases of $14.9 million. Purchases are expected to continue as we replace security repayments, deploy excess liquidity, and use the investment portfolio in the overall management of the interest rate risk and liquidity of the balance sheet.

There were $62 thousand of loans held for sale at June 30, 2022 versus $0 at December 31, 2021. These loans are originated for sale into the secondary market on a best efforts basis.

Loans receivable decreased $8.12022 to $228.7 million or 1.4% during the first six monthsas of 2022, due to repayments ofMarch 31, 2023. Loan originations, specifically commercial real estate and commercial loans. Commercial real estatemulti-family loans, decreased $9.6continue to be positively impacted by our Boone, NC, loan production office, as well as originations in the Kingsport and Johnson City, Tennessee markets.

Deposits were $708.8 million as of March 31, 2023 compared to $692.7 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase of the $16.1 million, or 4.6%2.3%, was due to $196.6 million at June 30, 2022, due largelyefforts to several borrowers liquidating properties held as collateral. These repayments were offset by increases in constructionattract and development loans, and loans secured by multi-family real estate which increased $5.4 million or 16.6% and $4.6 million or 13.8%, respectively. Commercial loans decreased $7.6 million or 14.0% to $46.7 million at June 30, 2022, due largely to repayments and forgiveness of PPP loans which declined $5.6 million during the first six months of 2022. At June 30, 2022, PPP loans totaled $845 thousand.

Total deposits decreased $449 thousand or 0.1% to $707.1 million at June 30, 2022 from $707.5 million at December 31, 2021. While the year-to-date change is modest, during the second quarter of 2022, deposits decreased $23.9 million from $731.0 million at March 31, 2022. While we have experienced deposit runoff in response to the cybersecurity incident, other factors have also influenced customers’ activities, including interest rates available forretain time deposits, combined with cyclical funds inflows primarily attributed to tax refunds, and the previously announced closure of two branch offices scheduled for August 2022. Additionally, some of this deposit activity is due to normal churn of deposit accountspension and depositors. The year-to-date decrease insocial security deposits, is primarily due to time deposit runoff as total time deposits decreased $17.1 million or 8.6%. The decrease in time deposits was offsetreceived by increases in non-interest bearing and interest-bearing transaction accounts which increased $8.7 million or 3.5% and $7.9 million or 3.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Another factor influencing deposit retention is the dissipation of liquidity experienced by depositors, as stimulus and other economic support funds distributed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic are spent or otherwise distributed. While it is likely that recent and expected increases to the federal funds rate will, at some point, impact liquidity, we continue to maintain core deposits through attractive consumer and commercial deposit products and strong ties with our customer base and communities.


customers.

At June 30, 2022, FHLB advances totaling $60 million were outstanding. As previously discussed, these advances were taken in June 2022, as a precautionary measure related to the cybersecurity incident.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned (OREO) and loans past due more than 90 days which are still accruing interest. Our policy is to place loans on nonaccrual status once they reach 90 days past due. The makeup of the nonaccrual loans is primarily those secured by residential mortgages and commercial real estate. OREO is primarily made up of residential and commercial and single-family residential properties.lots.

Nonperforming assets decreased $347 thousand,$586,000, or 8.1%15.9%, during the first sixthree months of 2022,2023, driven by a decrease in OREO of $1.0 million, which offset an increase$586,000 in nonaccrual loans of $693 thousand.loans. The increasedecrease in nonaccrual loans is attributed to a single credit for a commercial construction loan. This account has been assessed as partgeneral improvement in the performance of our determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, and collection efforts are ongoing.nonaccrual loans, resulting in several accounts being returned to accruing status. No loans 90 days or more past due are accruing interest. As a result, the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased to 0.50%0.39% at June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 compared to 0.54%0.47% at December 31, 2021.2022.

As of March 31, 2023, OREO is primarily made up of residential and commercial lots acquired through foreclosure. It remained consistent with a balance of $261,000 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Expenses associated with OREO were $6,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $130,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, due to costs associated with the sale of other real estate owned during the first three months of 2022. We continue to work to reduce nonperforming and under-performing assets.

For detailed information for nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned as of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2021,2022, refer to Note 6 Loans and Note 9 Other Real Estate Owned in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

At June 30, 2022, OREO is primarily made up of farmland and land acquired through foreclosure. During the second quarter of 2022, two former branch sites that had been transferred to OREO in 2021, were sold bringing our OREO balance down to $321 thousand. We continue extensive and aggressive measures to work through problem credits and liquidate foreclosed properties in an effort to reduce nonperforming assets. We remain mindful of the impact on earnings and capital as we work to achieve our goal to reduce nonperforming assets. However, we may recognize some losses and reductions in the allowance for loan loss as we expedite the resolution of these problem assets.

We are in the process of preparing to implement the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) model to replace our legacy loan loss model. While we had estimated we would be running concurrent models by June 30, 2022, due to the cybersecurity incident, we delayed the start of parallel runs. We have recovered and the new model has been constructed, initial assumptions have been input and historical loan and loss activity has been input and validated. Starting in August 2022, the Company will run the new methodology parallel to the current allowance methodology for several periods before full implementation, beginning with the June 30, 2022 data.

Deferred Tax Asset and Income Taxes

Due to timing differences between book and tax treatment of several income and expense items, a net deferred tax asset, excluding the deferred tax asset on the unrealized loss on securities available for sale, of $813$4.1 thousand and $1.5$4.6 million existed at June 30, 2022as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. Our income tax expense was computed at the corporate income tax rate of 21% of taxable income. We have no significant nontaxable income or nondeductible expenses. The implementation of the CECL methodology resulted in a onetime deferred tax charge of $56,000. Refer to Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Part 1 of this Form 10-Q

Under current economic conditions, we believe it is prudent to continue to retain capital sufficient to support planned asset growth while being able to absorb potential losses that may occur if asset quality deteriorates, and based upon projections, we believe our current capital levels will be sufficient.

On April 28,During the second quarter of 2022, the board of directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock through March 31, 2023. As previously reported, this plan was extended by the Board of Directors through March 31, 2024. The actual means and timing of any purchases, number of shares and prices or range of prices will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Liquidity

Liquidity

As discussed previously, in response to the cybersecurity incident we took efforts to increase on balance sheet liquidity through a series of FHLB advances transferred to our account at Federal Reserve Bank and pledging additional investment securities as collateral against unused funding sources for emergency needs. The deposit runoff since the cybersecurity incident has not been significant. We closely monitor our liquidity and our liquid assets in the form of cash, due from banks, federal funds sold, and unpledged available for sale investments. Collectively, those balances were $184.7$143.7 million at June 30, 2022,as of March 31, 2023, an increase of $25.4$13.2 million from $159.3$130.5 million atas of December 31, 2021.2022. A surplus of short-term assets is maintained at levels management deems adequate to meet potential liquidity needs during 2022.2023.

At June 30, 2022,As of March 31, 2023, all of our investment securities were classified as available-for-sale. These investments provide a source of liquidity in the amount of $70.9$69.4 million, which is net of the $29.7$27.3 million of securities pledged to secure public funds and as collateral.collateral for advances against the discount window. Investment securities available for sale serve as a source of liquidity while yielding a higher return versus other short-term investment options, such as federal funds sold and overnight deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank. Due to the unrealized loss on securities available for sale, the sale of investments would not be considered a primary source of liquidity due to the immediate impact on regulatory capital; however, the majority of the portfolio is considered high credit quality investments and would be available to pledge against borrowings.

Our loan to deposit ratio was 82.8% at June 30, 202283.3% as of March 31, 2023 and 83.9%84.4% at December 31, 2021.2022. We anticipate this ratio to remain at or below 90% for the foreseeable future.

While we have experienced some deposit runoff in response to the cybersecurity incident, other factors have also influenced customers’ activities, including interest rates available for time deposits and the previously announced closure of two branch offices scheduled for August 2022. Additionally, some of this deposit activity is due to normal churn of deposit accounts and depositors.

Available third-party sources of liquidity at June 30, 2022as of March 31, 2023 include the following: a line of credit with the FHLB, access to brokered certificates of deposit markets and the discount window at the Federal Reserve Bank. Additionally, in March 2023, the FRB, initiated a supplemental term funding program offering borrowings, of up to one year, secured by securities valued at par rather than market value. This program offers an additional source of liquidity against high quality securities, rather than liquidating securities should a need for additional funds arise. We also have the ability to borrow $30.0 million in unsecured federal funds through credit facilities extended by correspondent banks.

The Bank’sWe have used our line of credit with the FHLB is $203.3 million, with unused availability at June 30, 2022 of $136.3 million.

The available line andmillion to the outstanding lettersTreasury Board of Virginia for collateral on public funds. No draws on the letter of credit arehave been issued. This letter of credit is considered to be a draw on our FHLB line of credit. An additional $186.8 million was available as of March 31, 2023 on the $193.8 million line of credit, of which $116.5 million is secured by a blanket lien on our residential real estate loans which amounted to $129.2 million at June 30, 2022.loans.

We held no brokered deposits as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Internet accounts are limited to customers located in our primary market area and the surrounding geographical area. The average balance of and the rate paid on deposits is shown in the net interest margin analysis table in the “Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin” section. Total Certificate of Deposit Registry Services (“CDARS”) time deposits were $2.5 million and $1.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Aside from the availability of CDARS time deposits, we also offer a similar deposit product for transaction account customers Intrafi Cash Service (CDARS)(“ICS”). At June 30, 2022, we held no brokered depositsMarch 31, 2023 approximately $34.9 million were placed in this product as compared to $23.9 million at December 31, 2022. Both the CDARS and $2.8 millionICS offerings assist us in CDARS reciprocal time deposits and $10.6 million in ICS reciprocal interest-bearing demand deposits.maintaining deposit relationships, while assuring the depositors’ funds retain federal deposit insurance coverage.

Additional liquidity is available through the Federal Reserve Bank discount window for overnight funding needs. We may collateralize this line with investment securities and loans at our discretion; however, while we do not anticipate using this as a primary funding source, securities with an estimated market value of $25.6$27.3 million were pledged at June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

In March and May, 2023, three regional banks, each with assets in excess of $100 billion, were taken into receivership through FDIC and were sold in-whole, or in part to other financial institutions. Two of these banks, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) headquartered in Santa Clara, California, and First Republic Bank (“FR”) headquartered in San Francisco, California, experienced significant outflows of deposit funds fueled by concerns of large commercial and retail deposit customers holding funds far in excess of the FDIC insured limits at both institutions. These concerns, in SVB’s case, related to unrealized losses in SVB’s investment portfolio combined with the long-term maturities of the investments and other earning assets held by SVB. Concerns related to FR related to exposure to long-term jumbo mortgages made to preferred deposit customers and the impact to net interest earnings and the value of those mortgages in the rising rate environment. While we, or any other financial institution, can be impacted by sudden changes in market conditions or customer sentiment, we believe that our funding and liquidity management strategies and procedures are sound. In addition, our deposit customer base is diverse without significant exposure to uninsured deposit relationships. Prior to receivership of SVB and FR our deposit fluctuations were largely tied to cyclical events and inflows and outflows related to customers seeking higher interest rates. Since the date of these receiverships, we have not experienced any significant or unusual deposit outflows and we have taken steps to successfully test certain liquidity facilities in the event of any future deposit outflows.

With the on-balance sheet liquidity and other external sources of funding, we believe the Bank has adequate liquidity and capital resources to meet our requirements and needs for the foreseeable future. However, liquidity can be further affected by a number of factors such as counterparty willingness or ability to extend credit, regulatory actions and customer preferences, etc., some of which are beyond our control.

The bank holding company has approximately $523 thousand$460,000 in cash on deposit at the Bank at June 30, 2022.as of March 31, 2023. The holding company receives periodic dividend payments from the Bank which are used to pay operating expenses, to pay trust preferred interest payments, and to fund dividend payments to shareholders and repurchase shares. The Company makes quarterly interest payments on the trust preferred securities.

As discussed in the Capital Resources section, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock through March 31, 2023.2024. Payments for any repurchases will be distributed from available funds, or from dividendsdividend payments from the Bank, and are not expected to have a material impact on available liquidity.

Off Balance Sheet Items and Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, to the off-balance sheet items and the contractual obligations disclosed in our 20212022 Form 10-K. As discussed in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, the Company adopted CECL effective January 1, 2023 to include an assessment of off-balance sheet credit exposures. The transition adjustment for the adoption of CECL included establishment of an allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $348,000, which is recorded within other liabilities.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” and related updates, as described further in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, effective January 1, 2023. Related to the adoption of these new accounting standards, the Company modified certain internal controls and designed and implemented certain new internal controls over the measurement of the allowance for credit losses on loans and the reserve for unfunded commitments and related disclosures. New internal controls related primarily to the modeling of expected credit losses on loans, including controls over critical data and other inputs and model results. There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarterthree months ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
