Fixed-rate loans comprised 11 percent of loans held for investment at both September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023. Adjustable rate loans having no stated repricing dates that reprice when the index they are tied to reprices (e.g. prime rate index) and checking account overdrafts are reported as repricing within one year. The table does not include any estimate of prepayments which may cause the Corporation’s actual repricing experience to differ materially from that shown.

Management continually evaluates the credit quality of the Corporation’s loan portfolio and conducts a quarterly review of the adequacy of the ACL. The Corporation has adopted an internal risk rating policy in which each loan is rated for credit quality with a rating of pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss. The two primary components that are used during the loan review process to determine the proper allowance levels are individually evaluated allowances and collectively evaluated allowances. The collectively evaluated allowance is based on a pooling method for groups of homogeneous loans sharing similar loan characteristics to calculate an allowance which reflects an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The individually evaluated allowance is allocated to loans identified for evaluation and is calculated based upon the appraised value of the collateral, less selling costs or discounted cash flow with an appropriate default factor. The Corporation categorizes all of the loans held for investment into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrower to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades is as follows: ● Pass - These loans range from minimal credit risk to average, but still acceptable, credit risk. The likelihood of loss is considered remote. ● Special Mention - A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that may be temporary or, if left uncorrected, may result in a loss. While concerns exist, the bank is currently protected and loss is considered unlikely and not imminent. ● Substandard - A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. A substandard loan is characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. ● Doubtful - A doubtful loan has all of the weaknesses inherent in one classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of the currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. ● Loss - A loss loan is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted.

The Corporation primarily utilizes historical loss rates for the CECL calculation based on its own specific historical losses and or with peer loss history where applicable. The expected loss rates are applied to expected monthly loan balances estimated through the consideration of contractual repayment terms and expected prepayments. The prepayment assumptions applied to expected cash flow over the contractual life of the loans are estimated based on historical and bank-specific experience and the consideration of current and expected conditions and circumstances including the level of interest rates. The prepayment assumptions may be updated by management in the event that changing conditions impact management’s estimate or additional historical data gathered has resulted in the need for a reevaluation. For its reasonable and supportable forecasting of current expected credit losses, the Corporation utilizes a regression using forecasted economic metrics and historical loss data. The regression model utilized upon implementation of CECL on July 1, 2023 , Management recognizes that there are additional factors impacting risk of loss in the loan portfolio beyond what is captured in the quantitative portion of reserves on collectively evaluated loans. As current and expected conditions, may ● Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff. ● Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans. ● The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations. ● Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments. ● The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the institution's existing portfolio. ● Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of non-performing loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans. ● Changes in the quality of the Corporation’s loan review system. ● Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans. ● Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses. The qualitative portion of the Corporation’s reserves on collectively evaluated loans are calculated using management judgement, to determine risk categorizations in each of the Q-factors presented above. The amount of qualitative reserves is also contingent upon the relative weighting of the Q-factors according to management’s judgement. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. When management determines that foreclosure is probable and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of collateral at the reporting date, less selling costs. Accrued interest receivable for loans is included in the accrued interest receivable line item on the Corporation’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Corporation elected not Pursuant to ASU 2022-02, “Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures,” the Corporation may agree to different types of modifications, including principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, term extension, significant payment delay or any combination of modifications noted above. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, there were no loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Management believes the ACL on loans held for investment is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for expected losses on the Corporation’s loans held for investment based on historical loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The provision for (reversal of) credit losses is charged (credited) against operations on a quarterly basis, as necessary, to maintain the ACL at appropriate levels. Future adjustments to the ACL may be necessary and results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected as a result of economic, operating, regulatory, and other conditions beyond the Corporation’s control. Non-performing loans are charged-off to their fair market values in the period the loans, or portion thereof, are deemed uncollectible, generally after the loan becomes 150 days delinquent for real estate secured first trust deed loans and 120 days delinquent for commercial business or real estate secured second trust deed loans. For loans that were modified from their original terms, were re-underwritten and identified as modified loans, the charge-off occurs when the loan becomes 90 days delinquent; and where borrowers file bankruptcy, the charge-off occurs when the loan becomes 60 days delinquent. The amount of the charge-off is determined by comparing the loan balance to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less disposition costs, with the loan balance in excess of the estimated fair value charged-off against the ACL. For modified loans that are less than 90 days delinquent, the ACL is segregated into (a) individually evaluated allowances for those loans with applicable discounted cash flow calculations still in their modification period, classified lower than pass, and containing an embedded loss component or (b) collectively evaluated allowances based on the aggregated pooling method. For non-performing loans less than 60 days delinquent where the borrower has filed bankruptcy, the collectively evaluated allowances are assigned based on the aggregated pooling method. For non-performing commercial real estate loans, an individually evaluated allowance is derived based on the loan's discounted cash flow fair value (for modified loans) or collateral fair value less estimated selling costs and if the fair value is higher than the loan balance, no allowance is required. The following table is provided to disclose additional details for the periods indicated on the Corporation’s ACL on loans held for investment: For the Quarter Ended September 30, (Dollars in Thousands) 2023 2022 Allowance at beginning of period $ 5,946 $ 5,564 Impact of ASC 326 CECL adoption (1) 1,197 — Provision for credit losses 536 70 Recoveries: Mortgage loans: Single-family — 4 Total recoveries — 4 Total charge-offs — — Net recoveries (charge-offs) — 4 Allowance at end of period $ 7,679 $ 5,638 ACL as a percentage of gross loans held for investment 0.72 % 0.57 % Net (recoveries) charge-offs as a percentage of average loans receivable, net, during the period (annualized) (0.00) % (0.00) % ACL as a percentage of gross non-performing loans at the end of the period 545.38 % 537.98 % (1) Represents the impact of adopting ASC 326 on July 1, 2023.

Generally, a loan is placed on non-performing status when it becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest or if the loan is deemed impaired, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, where the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of the contractual principal or interest on the loan is doubtful. In addition, interest income is not recognized on any loan where management has determined that collection is not reasonably assured. A non-performing loan may be restored to accrual status when delinquent principal and interest payments are brought current, the borrower(s) has demonstrated sustained payment performance and future monthly principal and interest payments are expected to be collected on a timely basis. Loans with a related allowance have been (a) collectively evaluated allowance using a pooling method analysis or (b) individually evaluated for impairment using either a discounted cash flow analysis or, for collateral dependent loans, current appraisals less costs to sell, to establish realizable value. This analysis may identify a specific impairment amount needed or may conclude that no reserve is needed.

At September 30, 2023, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to those borrowers whose loans were classified as non-performing. For the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Corporation’s average recorded investment in non-performing loans was $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The Corporation records payments on non-performing loans utilizing the cash basis or cost recovery method of accounting during the periods when the loans are on non-performing status. For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Bank received $18,000 in interest payments from non-performing loans, of which all $18,000 was recognized as interest income and none was applied to reduce the loan balances under the cost recovery method. In comparison, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Bank received $7,000 in interest payments from non-performing loans, of which $5,000 was recognized as interest income and the remaining $2,000 was applied to reduce the loan balances under the cost recovery method.

A new appraisal is obtained on each of the properties at the time of foreclosure and fair value is derived by using the lower of the appraised value or the listing price of the property, net of selling costs. As of both September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, there was no real estate owned property. Any initial loss upon repossession is recorded as a charge to the ACL before being transferred to real estate owned. Subsequent to transfer to real estate owned, if there is further deterioration in real estate values, specific real estate owned loss reserves are established and charged to the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the Corporation records costs to carry real estate owned as real estate owned operating expenses as incurred. As outlined in the implementation of ASC 326, the Bank includes the off-balance sheet reserve for the unfunded loan commitments within the provision for credit losses. The following table provides information regarding the unfunded commitment reserve for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
