Allowance for Credit Losses Methodology On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, which replaces the incurred loss methodology for determining its provision for credit losses and allowance for credit losses with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the CECL model. See Note (1) for additional information regarding the factors that influenced the Company’s current estimate of expected credit losses. Upon adoption, the allowance for credit losses was increased by $250,000, with no impact to the consolidated statement of income. Subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company recorded a $475,000 provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2023 utilizing the newly adopted CECL methodology.

Risk characteristics applicable to each segment of the loan portfolio are described as follows: Real Estate Commercial & Industrial Agricultural Consumer – The consumer loan portfolio consists of various term and line of credit loans such as automobile loans and loans for other personal purposes. Residential loans in this category are generally secured by owner occupied 1–4 family residences. Repayment for these types of loans will come from a borrower’s income sources that are typically independent of the loan purpose. Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors, such as unemployment and general economic conditions in the Company’s market area and the creditworthiness of a borrower. Loan grades are numbered 1 through 4. Grade 1 is considered satisfactory. The grades of 2 and 3, or Watch and Special Mention, respectively, represent loans of lower quality and are considered criticized. Grade of 4, or Substandard, refers to loans that are classified. • Grade 1 (Pass) • Grade 2 (Watch) – These loans are still considered “Pass” credits; however, various factors such as industry stress, material changes in cash flow or financial conditions, or deficiencies in loan documentation, or other risk issues determined by the Lending Officer, Commercial Loan Committee (CLC), or Credit Quality Committee (CQC) warrant a heightened sense and frequency of monitoring. • Grade 3 (Special Mention) – These loans must have observable weaknesses or evidence of imprudent handling or structural issues. The weaknesses require close attention and the remediation of those weaknesses is necessary. No risk of probable loss exists. Credits in this category are expected to quickly migrate to a “2” or a “4” as this is viewed as a transitory loan grade. • Grade 4 (Substandard) – These loans are not adequately protected by the sound worth and debt service capacity of the borrower, but may be well secured. They have defined weaknesses relative to cash flow, collateral, financial condition, or other factors that might jeopardize repayment of all of the principal and interest on a timely basis. There is the possibility that a future loss will occur if weaknesses are not remediated. The Company evaluates the definitions of loan grades and the allowance for credit losses methodology on an ongoing basis. No changes were made to either during the period ended March 31, 2023.
