(2) (3) (4) As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total loans held for investment included $248.6 million and $356.7 million, respectively, of performing loans purchased through mergers or acquisitions. As of September 30, 2022, Consumer and Other included $22.6 million of unpaid principal balance of loans held for investment measured at fair value. See Note 14 – Fair Value Option. The CARES Act created the PPP, which is administered by the SBA. The PPP is intended to provide loans to small businesses to pay their employees, rent, mortgage interest, and utilities. The loans may be forgiven conditioned upon the client providing payroll documentation evidencing their compliant use of funds and otherwise complying with the terms of the program. The Bank is an approved SBA lender and as of September 30, 2022, the Cash, Securities, and Other portion of the loan portfolio included $7.7 million of PPP loans, or 5.0% of the total category. As of December 31, 2021, the Cash, Securities, and Other portion of the loan portfolio included $46.8 million of PPP loans, or 17.9% of the total category. The Company is a participant in the Federal Reserve’s MSLP to support lending to small and medium-sized for profit businesses and nonprofit organizations that were in sound financial condition before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s Commercial and Industrial loans included five MSLP loans with the net carrying amount of $6.8 million, or 1.9% of the total category. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s Commercial and Industrial loans included five MSLP loans with the net carrying amount of $6.8 million, or 3.3% of the total category. Loan Modifications As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a loan modification program was designed and implemented to assist our clients experiencing financial stress resulting from the economic impacts caused by the global pandemic. The Company offered loan extensions, temporary payment moratoriums, and financial covenant waivers for commercial and consumer borrowers impacted by the pandemic who have a pass risk rating and have not been delinquent over 30 days on payments in the last two years. In 2021, the deferral period ended for all non-acquired loans previously modified and payments resumed under the original terms. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s loan portfolio included 51 non-acquired loans which were previously modified under the loan modification program, totaling $88.4 million. Through the Teton Acquisition, the Company acquired loans which were previously modified and are still in their deferral period. As of September 30, 2022, there were 15 of these loans, totaling $3.4 million. The CARES Act provides banks optional, temporary relief from accounting for certain loan modifications as a TDR. The modifications must be related to the adverse effects of COVID-19, and certain other criteria are required to be met in order to apply the relief. Interagency guidance from Federal Reserve and the FDIC confirmed with the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. We believe our loan modification program meets that definition. In accordance with that guidance, the Company recognized interest income on all loans modified for temporary payment moratoriums, primarily for a period of 180 days or less. All loans modified in response to COVID-19 are classified as performing and pass rated as of September 30, 2022. These loans are included in the allowance for loan loss general reserve in accordance with ASC 450-20. Management has increased our loan level reviews and portfolio monitoring to address the changing environment. Management believes the diversity of the loan portfolio is prudent and remains consistent with the credit culture and goals of the Bank. Interest accrued during the modification term on modified loans is deferred to the end of the loan term. As of September 30, 2022, no allowance for loan loss was deemed necessary on the accrued interest balances related to loan modifications.

Non-Accrual Loans and Troubled Debt Restructurings The following presents the recorded investment in non-accrual loans by class as of the dates noted (dollars in thousands): September 30, December 31, 2022 2021 Cash, Securities, and Other $ 4 $ 6 Consumer and Other 65 2 Construction and Development 201 — 1-4 Family Residential 69 75 Owner Occupied CRE 1,179 1,241 Commercial and Industrial 2,184 2,938 Total $ 3,702 $ 4,262 Non-accrual loans classified as TDRs accounted for $3.4 million of the recorded investment as of September 30, 2022 and $4.3 million as of December 31, 2021. Non-accrual loans are classified as impaired loans and individually evaluated for impairment. The following presents a summary of the unpaid principal balance of loans classified as TDRs as of the dates noted (dollars in thousands): September 30, December 31, 2022 2021 Accruing Non-Owner Occupied CRE $ 42 $ 55 Non-accrual Cash, Securities, and Other 4 6 1-4 Family Residential 69 75 Owner Occupied CRE 1,179 1,241 Commercial and Industrial 2,184 2,938 Total 3,478 4,315 Allowance for loan losses associated with TDR — (1,751) Net recorded investment $ 3,478 $ 2,564 As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had not committed any additional funds to a borrower with a loan classified as a TDR. The Company did not modify any loans resulting in TDR status during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company modified three loans resulting in TDR status during the year ended December 31, 2021. The first loan was a small mortgage with a remaining balance of $0.1 million where the borrower was unable to make payments or obtain additional financing to pay off the mortgage. As a result, we modified the loan at the maturity date with a one-year renewal to allow the borrower time to seek a refinance. As of September 30, 2022, the loan matured and has not been paid as agreed in the loan modification. The Company continues to work with the borrower on a successful resolution. The second and third loans modified are in relation to one borrower who has two loans, one Commercial Real Estate Loan in the amount of $1.2 million, which is the space where the related business operates, and a Commercial loan with a balance of $0.7 million. The borrower had experienced a reduction in cash flow through ongoing impact from the pandemic and related shut downs and hiring shortages. As a result, the Company modified both loans allowing for a six month interest only period to provide cash flow relief. The Company obtained a reduced term on the business loan as well as additional collateral from the Borrower. All three of the loans modified during 2021 were sufficiently collateralized and therefore did not require any specific reserve. TDRs are reviewed individually for impairment and are included in the Company’s specific reserves in the allowance for loan losses. If charged off, the amount of the charge-off is included in the Company’s charge-off factors, which impact the Company’s reserves on non-impaired loans.

The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans by credit risk on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Special Mention—Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness or borrowing relationships that require more than the usual amount of management attention. Adverse industry conditions, deteriorating financial conditions, declining trends, management problems, documentation deficiencies, or other similar weaknesses may be evident. Ability to meet current payment schedules may be questionable, even though interest and principal are still being paid as agreed. The asset has potential weaknesses that may result in deteriorating repayment prospects if left uncorrected. Loans in this risk grade are not considered adversely classified. Substandard—Substandard loans are considered "classified" and are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans in this category may be placed on non-accrual status and may individually be evaluated for impairment if indicators of impairment exist. Doubtful—Loans graded Doubtful are considered "classified" and have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. However, the amount of certainty of eventual loss is not known because of specific pending factors. Loans accounted for under the fair value option are not rated. Loans not meeting any of the three criteria above are considered to be pass-rated loans.
