For the periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, modifications were made to certain borrowers by granting term extensions. These term extensions were not significant to the consolidated financial statements. Credit Quality Indicators Loans are categorized based on the degree of risk inherent in the credit and the ability of the borrower to service the debt. A description of the general characteristics of the Bank’s risk rating grades follows: Pass - These loans are of satisfactory quality and do not require a more severe classification. Special mention - This category includes loans with potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan. However, the loss potential does not warrant substandard classification. Substandard - Loans in this category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize normal repayment of principal and interest. Prompt corrective action is required to reduce exposure and to assure adequate remedial actions are taken by the borrower. If these weaknesses do not improve, loss is possible. Doubtful - Loans in this category have well-defined weaknesses that make full collection improbable. Loss - Loans classified in this category are considered uncollectible and charged-off to the ACL. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no loans classified as doubtful or loss.

Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s evaluation of the customer’s ability to repay. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, unfunded loan commitments totaled approximately $501.2 million and $372.0 million, respectively. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, commitments under standby letters of credit totaled approximately $12.0 million and $15.4 million, respectively. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provision of ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method and established a reserve for unfunded commitments. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk through a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The reserve for unfunded commitments is recorded within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, and the related provision is recorded in provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The loss rates computed for each pool and expected pool-level funding rates are applied to the related unfunded commitment balance to obtain the reserve amount. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the reserve on unfunded commitments was $542,000 and $442,000, respectively. The following table summarizes the reserve for unfunded commitments for the periods indicated: As of and For the Nine Months Ended (in thousands) September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Reserve for unfunded commitments at beginning of period $ 442 $ — Provision for credit losses (1,2) 100 — Impact of ASC 326 adoption — 442 Reserve for unfunded commitments at end of period $ 542 $ 442 (1) The $900,000 provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, includes $800,000 for loans and $100,000 for unfunded loan commitments. (2) The $485,000 provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, is all for loans. |
