identified amounts are charged against the allowance for credit losses. The existence of some or all of the following criteria will generally confirm that a loss has been incurred: the loan is significantly delinquent and the borrower has not demonstrated the ability or intent to bring the loan current; the Company has no recourse to the borrower, or if it does, the borrower has insufficient assets to pay the debt; and/or the estimated fair value of the loan collateral is significantly below the current loan balance, and there is little or no near-term prospect for improvement. Management’s evaluation of the ACL for loans is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Loss factors are based on the Company’s historical loss experience with additional consideration and adjustments made for changes in economic conditions, changes in the amount and composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency rates, changes in collateral values, seasoning of the loan portfolio, duration of the current business cycle, a detailed analysis of individually evaluated loans and other factors as deemed appropriate. These factors are evaluated on a quarterly basis. Loss rates used by the Company are affected as changes in these factors increase or decrease from quarter to quarter. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s ACL for loans and may require the Company to make additions to the ACL for loans based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations. The following tables detail activity in the ACL for loans at or for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, by loan category (in thousands): Three months ended Commercial Commercial Multi- Real Estate September 30, 2024 Business Real Estate Land Family Construction Consumer Unallocated Total Beginning balance $ 5,141 $ 7,303 $ 120 $ 402 $ 723 $ 1,675 $ — $ 15,364 (Recapture of) provision for credit losses (23) (166) 19 (48) 202 116 — 100 Charge-offs — — — — — — — — Recoveries — — — — — 2 — 2 Ending balance $ 5,118 $ 7,137 $ 139 $ 354 $ 925 $ 1,793 $ — $ 15,466 Six months ended September 30, 2024 Beginning balance $ 5,280 $ 7,391 $ 106 $ 367 $ 636 $ 1,584 $ — $ 15,364 Provision for (recapture of) credit losses (162) (254) 33 (13) 289 207 — 100 Charge-offs — — — — — (1) — (1) Recoveries — — — — — 3 — 3 Ending balance $ 5,118 $ 7,137 $ 139 $ 354 $ 925 $ 1,793 $ — $ 15,466 Three months ended September 30, 2023 Beginning balance $ 5,215 $ 7,205 $ 123 $ 293 $ 830 $ 1,677 $ — $ 15,343 Provision for (recapture of) credit losses 124 (67) (11) — 30 (76) — — Charge-offs — — — — — — — — Recoveries — — — — — 3 — 3 Ending balance $ 5,339 $ 7,138 $ 112 $ 293 $ 860 $ 1,604 $ — $ 15,346 Six months ended September 30, 2023 Beginning balance $ 3,123 $ 8,894 $ 93 $ 798 $ 764 $ 1,127 $ 510 $ 15,309 Impact of adopting CECL (ASU 2016-13) 1,884 (1,494) 40 (492) 131 483 (510) 42 Provision for (recapture of) loan losses 332 (262) (21) (13) (35) (1) — — Charge-offs — — — — — (11) — (11) Recoveries — — — — — 6 — 6 Ending balance $ 5,339 $ 7,138 $ 112 $ 293 $ 860 $ 1,604 $ — $ 15,346 Non-accrual loans The following tables present an analysis of loans by aging category at the dates indicated (in thousands): Total 90 Days Past and Due and Total 30-89 Days Greater Non- Loans September 30, 2024 Past Due Past Due Non-accrual accrual Current Receivable Commercial business $ 3,063 $ 301 $ 48 $ 3,412 $ 233,483 $ 236,895 Commercial real estate 3,745 — 68 3,813 569,642 573,455 Land — — — — 7,274 7,274 Multi-family — — — — 78,710 78,710 Real estate construction — — — — 51,498 51,498 Consumer 36 — 33 69 113,076 113,145 Total $ 6,844 $ 301 $ 149 $ 7,294 $ 1,053,683 $ 1,060,977 March 31, 2024 Commercial business $ 1,778 $ 5 $ 58 $ 1,841 $ 227,563 $ 229,404 Commercial real estate — — 79 79 583,422 583,501 Land — — — — 5,693 5,693 Multi-family — — — — 70,771 70,771 Real estate construction — — — — 36,538 36,538 Consumer 1 — 36 37 98,069 98,106 Total $ 1,779 $ 5 $ 173 $ 1,957 $ 1,022,056 $ 1,024,013 The increase in the 30-89 days past due loans was primarily related to one loan that is in the probate process.
