LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT Loans held for investment are summarized by category as of the periods presented below (dollars in thousands): March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Commercial real estate $ 926,018 $ 919,358 Commercial - specialized 315,473 327,513 Commercial - general 510,917 484,783 Consumer: 1-4 family residential 485,396 460,124 Auto loans 321,309 321,476 Other consumer 81,413 81,308 Construction 148,114 153,519 2,788,640 2,748,081 Allowance for credit on loans (39,560 ) (39,288 ) Loans, net $ 2,749,080 $ 2,708,793 The Company has certain lending policies, underwriting standards, and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income with an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies, underwriting standards, and procedures on a regular basis and makes changes as appropriate. Management receives frequent reports related to loan originations, quality, concentrations, delinquencies, non-performing, and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions, both by type of loan and geography. Commercial Real Estate Commercial – General and Specialized Consumer Construction The ACL for loans was $39.6 million at March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 The following table details the activity in the ACL for loans for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands). Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

The changes in the ACL for this period were also impacted by net charge-offs of $630 thousand. All of the individually analyzed loans are predominantly secured by real estate. The following table shows the Company’s amortized cost in loans and related ACL for loans recorded disaggregated based on using the fair value of collateral loss estimation methodology of evaluating expected credit losses at the date indicated (dollars in thousands).

The Company had no nonaccrual mortgage loans held for sale (mandatory) at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022. Credit Quality Indicators The Company grades its loans on a thirteen-point grading scale. These grades fit in one of the following categories: (i) pass, (ii) special mention, (iii) substandard, (iv) doubtful, or (v) loss. Loans categorized as loss are charged-off immediately. The grading of loans reflect a judgment by the Company about the risks of default associated with the loan. The Company reviews the grades on loans as part of the Company’s on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the loan portfolio. These risk ratings are assigned based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. Pass loans have financial factors or nature of collateral that are considered reasonable credit risks in the normal course of lending and encompass several grades that are assigned based on varying levels of risk, ranging from credits that are secured by cash or marketable securities, to watch credits which have all the characteristics of an acceptable credit risk but warrant more than the normal level of monitoring. Special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects for the loans at some future date. Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or by the collateral pledged, if any. These loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize collection and present the distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the deficiencies are not corrected. A protracted workout on these credits is a distinct possibility. Prompt corrective action is therefore required to strengthen the Company’s position, and/or to reduce exposure and to assure that adequate remedial measures are taken by the borrower. Credit exposure becomes more likely in such credits and a serious evaluation of the secondary support to the credit is performed. Substandard loans can be accruing or can be nonaccrual depending on the circumstances of the individual loans. Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable. All doubtful loans are on nonaccrual. In connection with the review of the Company’s loan portfolio, management considers risk elements attributable to particular loan type or categories in assessing the quality of individual loans. The list of loans to be analyzed for individual evaluation consists of non-accrual loans over $250,000 with direct exposure. Interest income recognized using a cash-basis method on non-accrual loans for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was not significant. In addition, the Company closely monitors substandard accruing loans over $1 million with direct exposure, and past due accruing loans over $100,000 for possible individual evaluation. All other loans will be evaluated collectively in designated pools unless a loss exposure has been identified. The following table reflects the amortized cost basis in loans by credit quality indicator and origination year at March 31, 2023, excluding loans held for sale. Loans acquired are shown in the table by origination year, not merger date. The Company had an immaterial amount of revolving loans converted to term loans at March 31, 2023.

When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses. Typically, one type of concession, such as term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted. In some cases, the Company provides multiple types of concessions on one loan. For the loans included in the “combination” columns below, multiple types of modifications have been made on the same loan within the current reporting period. The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans at March 31, 2023 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the three months ended March 31, 2023, by class and by type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers in financial distress as compared to the amortized cost bases of each class of financing receivable is also presented below (dollars in thousands): Payment Delay Term Extension Interest Rate Reduction Term Extension and Interest Rate Reduction Total Class of Financing Receivable March 31, 2023 Commercial real estate $ — $ — $ — $ — 0.00 % Commercial - specialized — — — — 0.00 % Commercial - general — 2,999 — 42 0.60 % Consumer: 1-4 family — 199 — — 0.04 % Auto loans — 40 — — 0.01 % Other consumer — — — — 0.00 % Construction — — — — 0.00 % $ — $ 3,238 $ — $ 42 0.12 % The Company closely monitors the performance of loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts.

Payment default is defined as movement to nonperforming status, foreclosure, or charge-off. Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan has subsequently been deemed to not be fully collectible, the uncollectible amount is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount. There were no loans modified as a TDR during the year ended December 31, 2022. |
