The Company
Community Heritage Financial is a Maryland corporation registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Bank Holding Company Act”). We are subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of Financial Regulation and are required to file periodic reports and any additional information that the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of Financial Regulation may require. Community Heritage Financial, Inc. owns 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Middletown Valley Bank. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland in 2018 for the purpose of serving as the Bank’s holding company. On June 15, 2018, the stockholders of Middletown Valley Bank approved the reorganization of the Bank into a holding company structure. The reorganization became effective on February 1, 2019. In connection with the reorganization, (i) the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) each outstanding share (or fraction thereof) of Middletown Valley Bank common stock was converted into one share (or fraction thereof) of Community Heritage Financial, Inc. common stock, and the former holders of Middletown Valley Bank common stock became the holders of all the Company’s outstanding shares.
In February 2019, the Company acquired Millennium Financial Group, Inc. (Mlend), a full-service residential mortgage lender headquartered in Middletown, Maryland with additional lending offices located in Crofton, Maryland and Oakland, Maryland. As of March 1, 2022, the Company contributed all of its capital stock in Mlend to the Bank, and Mlend is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank.
We operate a general commercial banking business, accepting deposits and making loans and investments. Our results of operations depend mainly on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income we earn on our loan and investment portfolios and the interest expense we pay on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by provisions for loan losses, non-interest income, and non-interest expenses. Our non-interest expenses consist primarily of compensation and employee benefits, as well as office occupancy and equipment, data processing, deposit insurance, and other operating expenses.
Our operations are significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly with respect to changes in interest rates, government policies, and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable laws, regulations, or government policies may materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our common stock is quoted on the Pink Open Market Tier of the OTC Market Group’s quotation system under the symbol “CMHF.” As of September 23, 2022, there were 2,251,320 shares of our common stock outstanding.
Summary of Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company earned net income of $3.89 million or $1.73 per share, an increase of $1.39 million or 55.6% compared to net income of $2.50 million or $1.11 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Second quarter 2022 net income was $2.07 million or $0.92 per share, an increase of $250 thousand compared to first quarter 2022 net income of $1.82 million and an increase of $1.18 million compared to $892 thousand for the second quarter of 2021.
The Company continued its controlled growth strategy during the second quarter 2022 which resulted in $872.6 million in total assets as of June 30, 2022, up $27.0 million from March 31, 2022, and up $54.7 million from December 31, 2021. Deposit growth of $20.6 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $54.1 million on a year-to-date basis has funded the overall growth in the balance sheet. The deposit growth includes $10 million in brokered deposits, which were added late in the second quarter of 2022.
The deposit growth, as noted, has also funded robust loan growth over the same period. Loan balances were $692.8 million as of June 30, 2022, up $48.9 million from March 31, 2022, balances and up $82.3 million for the year. As of June 30, 2022, all loan balances under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) ($13.3 million outstanding at December 31, 2021 and $3.6 million outstanding as of March 31,2022) have been forgiven and remaining balances paid to zero. Excluding the PPP balances as noted above, core loan growth for the second quarter of 2022 was $52.5 million and $95.6 million year-to-date for 2022.
The strong loan growth has increased the earning asset base resulting in net interest income of $6.93 million for the second quarter of 2022, up $518 thousand compared to $6.41 million for the first quarter of 2022 and up $984 thousand compared to the second quarter of 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net interest income was $13.3 million, an increase of $1.3 million from $12.0 million for the first six months of 2021.
To support the loan growth as noted above, the Bank added $576 thousand to the loan loss provision for the quarter, up from $10 thousand in the first quarter of 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, loan loss provision expense was $586 thousand compared to $2.9 million for the same period of 2021. The second quarter of 2021 included a one-time, isolated, COVID related charge-off of $4.5 million. The additional provision brings the allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio to a level of 1.03% as of June 30, 2022, up slightly from 1.01% as of March 31, 2022 and down slightly from 1.06% as of June 30, 2021.
Operating expenses increased by approximately 4.3% during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2022 as the Company continued to invest in employee assets, training and technology in support of the balance sheet growth. In summary, strong earning asset growth, controlled funding costs and controlled operating expenses led to overall net income for the first six months of 2022 of $3.89 million, which represents the highest first half earnings in the history of the Company.
Management and the Board of Directors of both the Company and the Bank recognize the impact that inflation, recent geopolitical events, and supply chain issues are having on economic markets and interest rates. With the recent rapid increase in interest rates, the banking industry has been hit hard with erosion to security portfolio values, which has resulted in a direct impact to tangible equity values on the balance sheet as related to our available-for-sale (“AFS”) security portfolio. In an effort to preserve tangible common equity, the Bank’s Board of Directors approved for up to 75% of the principal balance of the AFS security portfolio at the Bank be moved to a held-to-maturity (“HTM”) designation effective April 1, 2022. To maintain on-balance sheet liquidity, over the next several quarters we expect to take measures to build the AFS portfolio position back to a level of at least 7.0% of assets. We anticipate that this will be accomplished through the reinvestment of security portfolio cashflows and strategic investment of available cash balances at current market rates.
Results of Operations
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
The Company recorded net income of $3.89 million or $1.73 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net income of $2.50 million or $1.11 per share for the same period of 2021. The increase in year-to-date earnings resulted from strong loan growth, increased investment security interest and lower loan loss provision expense, all of which helped off-set lower revenue from PPP (Paycheck Protection Plan) loans and lower secondary mortgage loan activity revenue.
We primarily operate two business segments, commercial banking, and mortgage banking. The commercial banking segment includes both commercial and consumer lending and provides customers with products such as commercial loans, real estate loans, other business financing and consumer loans. In addition, this segment provides customers with several choice deposit products, including demand deposit accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit. The mortgage banking segment engages primarily in the origination of residential mortgages for sale into the secondary market. Revenue from the mortgage banking segment has been negatively impacted by rising interest rates and lower refinance activity during the first six months of 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021. Bottom-line net income from the mortgage banking sector has decreased from $785 thousand for the first six months of 2021 compared to $156 thousand for the first six months of 2022. The commercial banking segment, driven by strong commercial loan growth, low cost of deposits and reduced loan loss provision expense showed a bottom-line net income contribution of $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $2.2 million for the same period of 2021. For additional information, refer to Note 2,” Business Segments.”
Year-to-date 2022, the provision for credit losses was a charge of $586 thousand compared to $ 2.9 million for the same period in 2021. Most of the decrease was related to reduced provision compared to 2021, which included an isolated COVID related charge-off of $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. The bank has entered into a forbearance agreement with the principal of the charge-off and has received additional collateral as part of the agreement in addition to a monthly restitution.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $1.4 million to $13.3 million or 11.6% compared to $12.0 million for the same period in 2021. Year-to-date loan income increased to $13.2 million in 2022 compared to $12.8 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of $368 thousand; however, 2021 included $1.83 million in PPP loan interest and fee income compared to $416 thousand in 2022. Excluding PPP revenue, core loan interest increased $1.8 million year-to-date 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 due to strong average loan growth of $61 million. Core loan yields, excluding PPP fee and interest income dropped from 4.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 4.03% for the same period ended June 30, 2022. Low market rates and competitive pressure for quality loans pushed yields lower on a year-over-year basis. Interest income on the investment portfolio increased by 107% from $652 thousand for the first six months of 2021 to $1.35 million for the same period of 2022. The increase resulted from an increase in average balances of $74.3 million on a year-over-year basis through the deployment of cash on the balance sheet.
While interest bearing liabilities increased $63 million on average for the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, interest expense decreased from $1.5 million for the first six months of 2021 to $1.2 million for the first six months of 2022. Deposit mix and market rates helped to push overall cost of funds lower during the comparative periods. Overall funding costs were also positively impacted by the growth of non-interest bearing demand deposits, which averaged $284.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $220.5 million for the comparable period of 2021.
The following tables provide an analysis of net interest income performance that reflects that net interest margin has declined to 3.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 3.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the comparative period, the yield on earning assets declined 46 basis points while average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 21 basis points, resulting in the decline in margin.

Non-interest Income
As referenced in Note 13 below – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, non-interest income decreased from $3.82 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $2.52 million for the same period of 2022. The following represents additional detail of non-interest income by type:
| ● | Service charges on deposit accounts decreased from $339 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $315 thousand for the same period of 2022 – account composition and restructure of product types resulted in less service charges to our customer base. |
| ● | Visa check card income increased from $353 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $442 thousand for the same period of 2022 – increased merchant services and higher volumes accounted for the growth. |
| ● | Mortgage banking revenue decreased from $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $1.7 million for the same period of 2022 due to the rising interest rate environment and less refinancing activity. |
| ● | The six months ended June 30, 2021 included $196 thousand in security sale gains – no security gains were recorded for the same period of 2022. |
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased 7.1% from $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $10.1 million for the same period of 2022. The following represents additional detail on non-interest expense by type:
| ● | Salary and benefit expense increased from $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $6.0 million for the same period of 2022 – the Company continued to add human resources to support the rapid balance sheet growth and to enhance technology capabilities. Costs also increased due to the addition of a full-service branch in May of 2021 along with increased health insurance and benefit costs. |
| ● | Occupancy and Equipment costs increased from $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 – as noted previously, the Company opened a full-service branch in Franklin County, Pennsylvania in May of 2021 and also made significant investments in technology during the past year. |
| ● | Advertising and donation expense increased from $287 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $333 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Most of the increase was related to increased donations and sponsorships of community events as the Company continues to support the communities we serve. |
| ● | FDIC insurance premiums increased from $224 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $278 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Strong core deposit growth led to the increased premium expense. |
Income Taxes
The Company had income tax expense of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to tax expense of $987 thousand for the first six months of 2021. The increased tax expense resulted from higher pre-tax income for the first six months of 2022 of $5.2 million compared to pre-tax income of $3.5 million for the corresponding period of 2021.
Balance Sheet Analysis and Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021
General. Our total assets increased $54.7 million, or 6.7%, to $872.6 million at June 30, 2022, from $817.9 million at December 31, 2021. Balance sheet growth was driven by, loan growth of $82.3 million, or 13.5% (excluding loans held for sale), primarily funded by core deposit (which excludes brokered deposits) growth of $44.1 million, or 6.0%. In addition, deposits increased by $54.1 million, or 7.3%, borrowings, other than our subordinated debt, decreased by $3.1 million to $5.0 million, and other liabilities increased by $1.6 million, or 0.21%, at June 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, all loan balances under the Paycheck Protection Program ($13.3 million outstanding at December 31, 2021 and $3.6 million outstanding as of March 31, 2022) have been forgiven and remaining balances paid to zero. In addition, cash balances decreased $25.8 million, or 62.4%, attributable to funding the loan growth discussed above.
Loans. Total gross loans (excluding loans held for sale) increased to $692.8 million, constituting 79.4% of total assets, at June 30, 2022, compared to $610.5 million, constituting 74.6% of total assets, at December 31, 2021, an increase of $82.3 million, or 13.5%. This increase was due to growth in commercial real estate loans of $47.4 million, or 17.3%, residential real estate loans of $36.1 million, or 22.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, partially offset by a $3.0 million, or 1.8%, decrease in commercial and industrial loans, which is attributable to $3.6 million in forgiven PPP loans during 2022.
Investment Securities Portfolio. Our investment securities portfolio at June 30, 2022 included U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, securities issued by municipalities, and corporate bonds, all of which are classified as available-for-sale or held to maturity (refer to Note 3 for detail). The carrying value of our investment portfolio decreased from $144.0 million as of December 31, 2021 to $142.6 million as of June 30, 2022. The decrease resulted from $15.4 million in security purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2022, $5.7 million in maturities and paydowns, negative adjustments to the unrealized loss position on available-for-sale securities of $1.2 million and an adjustment of $9.9 million related to the unrealized loss position on securities transferred to held-to-maturity effective April 1, 2022 (see Note 3 for additional information).
Deposits. We accept deposits primarily from the areas in which our branches and offices are located. We have consistently focused on building broader customer relationships and targeting small business customers to increase our core deposits. We also rely on our customer service to attract and retain deposits. We offer a variety of deposit products with a range of interest rates and terms. Customer deposits have historically provided us with a sizeable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds to support asset growth. Our deposit accounts consist of commercial and retail checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and individual retirement accounts. We utilize brokered deposits to cover funding gaps due to the timing of deposit growth and to match fund loans with longer maturities. At June 30, 2022, brokered deposits totaled $10 million compared to $246 thousand at December 31, 2021 (brokered deposits exclude insured cash sweeps and certificate of deposit account registry service (CDARS)). The increase in brokered deposits was to contribute to the funding of loan growth and was executed late in the second quarter.
Our deposits increased by $54.1 million, or 7.3%, to $790.8 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $736.7 million at December 31, 2021, reflecting increases of $31.8 million, or 6.9%, in interest-bearing deposits and $22.3 million, or 8.2%, in non-interest-bearing deposits. The increase in interest-bearing deposits was primarily the result of a $23 million, or 11.4%, increase in money market accounts, as well as increases of $6.4 million, or 8%, in savings accounts, and $3.4 million, or 3.8%, in time deposits, at June 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. Deposits increased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to new deposit accounts being opened by our new commercial loan customers, and growth in retail (consumer) accounts.
We review and update interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees, and withdrawal penalties on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market interest rates, liquidity requirements, anticipated short term loan demand, and our deposit growth goals.
Borrowings (Other than Subordinated Debt). Customer deposits remain the primary source we utilize to meet funding needs, but we supplement our deposits as a funding source with borrowings as necessary. Borrowings were $5.0 million at June 30, 2022 and $1.9 million at December 31, 2021. The increase resulted from continued strong core loan growth during the first six months of 2022, which slightly outpaced deposit growth for the period. The balance at December 31, 2021 consisted of Mlend’s draws on warehouse lines of credit maintained at other financial institutions. As of June 30, 2022, the warehouse line balances have been reduced to zero as a result of Mlend becoming a subsidiary of the Bank from a contribution of all outstanding stock of Mlend from CHF to the Bank effective March 1, 2022. The move allows all funding for Mlend to be handled internally as opposed to other financial institutions. The $5.0 million borrowing as of June 30, 2022 is a short-term advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, advances from the FHLBA, principal repayments, and the sale of securities available for sale. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank’s Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We believe that we have enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short- and long-term liquidity needs as of the date of this report.
We regularly monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows and borrowing maturities, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of our asset and liability management program.
Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short-term securities. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The level of these assets is dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $15.5 million.
Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities as reported in our statements of cash flows included in our financial statements.
At June 30, 2022, we had $239.8 million in loan commitments outstanding consisting of $174.7 million of unused lines of credit and $65.1 million in commitments to originate new loans. In addition, we had $3.8 million in standby letters of credit at June 30, 2022. Time deposits due within one year of June 30, 2022, totaled $62.1 million, or 7.9% of total deposits. If such deposits do not remain with us, we may be required to seek other sources of funds, including loan and securities sales, draws on our lines of credit with correspondent banks, and FHLBA advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on our deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the time and IRA deposits that become due in the coming year. We believe, however, based on historical experience and current and expected market interest rates, that we will retain upon maturity a large portion of our time deposits with maturities of one year or less.
At June 30, 2022 and 2021, we had, primarily through Mlend, interest rate lock commitments to originate mortgage loans totaling $3.4 million and $20.3 million, respectively. We enter into corresponding commitments with third-party investors to sell each of these loans that close on a best-efforts basis.
Our primary investing activity is originating loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, cash used to fund net loan growth was $82.3 million and $15.5 million, respectively. During these six-month periods, we purchased $15.4 million and $35.5 million of investment securities, respectively. Proceeds from sales, maturities, repayments, and calls of securities were $5.8 million and $20.5 million, respectively, during these six-month periods.
Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts. We experienced net increases in cash provided from deposits of $54.1 million and $51.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Deposit flows are affected by the overall market level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors, and by other factors.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing arrangements exist that provide an additional source of funds. At June 30, 2022, we had the ability to borrow up to $15.5 million from other financial institutions and the ability to borrow up to $4.0 million from the Federal Reserve Board discount window. In addition, we had the ability to borrow up to $218.2 million from the FHLBA at June 30, 2022, and a $1.0 million letter of credit with another financial institution for contingency funding purposes. As of June 30, 2022, the Bank had $5.0 million in outstanding borrowings with FHLBA. Borrowings (excluding the Notes) were $0 and $1.9 million at June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, which consisted of Mlend’s draws on warehouse lines of credit maintained at other financial institutions.
Middletown Valley Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At June 30, 2022, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines at such time. See “Supervision and Regulation – Capital Requirements” and Note 18 of our consolidated financial statements contained herein.
Capital Expenditures
As of June 30, 2022 there were no material capital expenditure commitments outstanding.

Community Heritage Financial, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited
Note 1. Nature of Operation’s and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations:
Community Heritage Financial, Inc. (“CMHF” or the “Company” on a consolidated basis), the parent company for its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Middletown Valley Bank (the “Bank”) and Millennium Financial Group, Inc. (“Mlend”), was established in November 2018 under the laws of the State of Maryland to serve as the holding company for the Bank. Establishment of the holding company occurred subsequent to an affirmative vote by shareholders and receipt of regulatory approval. Upon formation of the holding company, the Company’s reorganization was completed through a one-for-one share exchange in which the Bank’s shareholders received one share of CMHF’s common stock with a par value of $0.01 in exchange for each share of their $1 par value common stock of the Bank. CMHF is regulated under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Federal Reserve Board.
Middletown Valley Bank is an independent and community-oriented financial institution offering a full range of retail and commercial banking services to individuals and businesses in its market area. Services are primarily provided to customers located in Frederick County and Washington County, Maryland, as well as the surrounding communities through the Bank’s network of eight branch locations. Its primary deposit products are demand, savings, and time deposits, and its primary lending products are real estate mortgages, commercial business loans and installment loans.
Middletown Valley Bank began serving customers in 1908 and is headquartered in Middletown, Maryland. The Bank is a Maryland chartered bank subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Maryland Office of Commissioner of Financial Regulation and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), and our deposits are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per depositor. In addition to two branch offices in Middletown, the Bank also has branches in:
| ● | Hagerstown, Maryland (2), and |
| ● | Waynesboro, Pennsylvania |
Middletown Valley Bank is parent company to the wholly owned subsidiary Millennium Financial Group, Inc. Millennium Financial Group Inc., (“Mlend”), is a full-service residential mortgage company, headquartered in Middletown, Maryland with additional lending offices located in Crofton, Maryland and Oakland, Maryland. Mlend is licensed in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia and offers a full range of residential mortgage products to homebuyers for home purchases, refinancing and construction. Programs include but are not limited to conventional, USDA, VA, FHA, and Maryland Mortgage Program loans.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices of the banking and mortgage industries.
Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements of Community Heritage Financial, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Middletown Valley Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiary Millennium Financial Group, Inc., include the accounts of all three companies. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business Segments:
We primarily operate two business segments, commercial banking, and mortgage banking. The commercial banking segment includes both commercial and consumer lending and provides customers with products such as commercial loans, real estate loans, other business financing and consumer loans. In addition, this segment provides customers with several choice deposit products, including demand deposit accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit. The mortgage banking segment engages primarily in the origination of residential mortgages for sale into the secondary market. For additional information, refer to Note 2,” Business Segments.”
Use of Estimates:
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of goodwill and other-than-temporary impairment of securities.
Presentation of Cash Flows:
For the purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents as those amounts that are highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. They are included in the balance sheet captions, “Cash and due from banks”.
Securities:
Investments in debt securities are classified as either held to maturity, available for sale, or trading. FHLB stock is classified as restricted and carried at cost. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Held to maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.
Impairment of securities occurs when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost. For debt securities impairment is considered other-than-temporary and recognized in its entirety in net income if either (i) the Bank intends to sell the security or (ii) it is more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Bank does not intend to sell the security and it is not more-than-likely that the Bank will be required to sell the security before recovery, management must determine what portion of the impairment is attributable to a credit loss, which occurs when the amortized cost of the security exceeds the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security. If there is no credit loss, there is no other-than-temporary impairment. If there is a credit loss, other-than-temporary impairment exists, and the credit loss must be recognized in net income and the remaining portion of impairment must be recognized in other comprehensive income.
Management regularly reviews each security for other-than-temporary impairment based on criteria that includes the extent to which costs exceed market price, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer, its best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from debt securities, its intention with regard to holding the security to maturity and the likelihood that the Bank would be required to sell the security before recovery.
For restricted equity securities, impairment is based on the ultimate recovery of par value. The impairment of a restricted equity security results in a write-down that must be included in income.
Gains or losses on disposition are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities, using the specific identification method.
Loans:
Loans are reported at their recorded investment, which is the principal amount outstanding, as adjusted for net deferred fees or cost of loan originations. The balance of the allowance for loan losses is netted against the recorded investment in loans on the balance sheet. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield on the related loans using the interest method. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Accrual of interest on all classes of loans is discontinued either when reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal in accordance with the loan’s contractual terms, or when a loan becomes contractually past due by ninety days or more with respect to principal or interest. All interest accrued but not collected for loans placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. Income on such loans is then recognized only to the extent that cash is received and where the future collection of loan principal is probable. Accruals are resumed on loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loan is estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. Loans are considered past due when the borrower is not current with their payments in accordance with the contractual terms of their loan agreement.
Loans Held for Sale:
The Company engages in the sale of residential mortgages, with originations initiated through Mlend or the Bank. Loans originated and intended for sale (Loans held for Sale) in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value on an individual basis. Gains and losses on loans sold (sales proceeds minus carrying value) are recorded as a component of noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. Direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred at origination of the loan and are recognized in noninterest income upon the sale of the loan. The servicing of loans held for sale is not retained once the sale is complete.
Allowance for Loan Losses:
An allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to provide for known and inherent losses that are probable within the loan portfolio. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans, based on evaluations of the collectability of loans and prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Loans deemed uncollectible are charged off and deducted from the allowance, while subsequent recoveries are credited to the allowance.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For loans that are classified as impaired, a specific allowance is established when the present value of expected future cash flows, the observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent, of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical losses adjusted for qualitative factors.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial real estate, residential real estate, and commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance consumer loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.
As the first step in determining the general component of the allowance for loan losses, management calculates the historical loss percentage. The historical loss percentage is calculated based on the Bank’s experience as well as the experience of its peers. In instances where the Bank has not experienced losses, peer information will be used. The historical loss percentage calculated is applied to the quarter end balance of each portfolio segment. The historical component is further adjusted by management’s evaluation of various conditions per segment including the economy, trends in portfolio volume, concentrations, changes in experience and depth of lending staff, trends in problem loans, and trends in collateral and debt ratio exceptions.
Management has an established internally developed methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that assesses the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, management has segmented certain loans in the portfolio by product type. The loan portfolio is segmented based on risk characteristics into the following segments: commercial real estate, residential real estate, commercial, and consumer loans. Particular characteristics associated with each segment are detailed below:
| ● | Loans secured by commercial real estate carry risks associated with the success of the business and the ability to generate a positive cash flow sufficient to service debts. Real estate security diminishes risks only to the extent that a market exists for the subject collateral. |
| ● | Residential real estate loans carry risks associated with the continued creditworthiness of the borrower and changes in the value of the collateral. |
| ● | Commercial loans not secured by real estate carry risks associated with the successful operation of a business, and the repayments of these loans depend on the profitability and cash flows of the business. Additional risk relates to the value of collateral, if any, where depreciation occurs, and the valuation is less precise. |
| ● | Consumer loans carry risks associated with the continued creditworthiness of the borrower and the value of the collateral, such as automobiles which may depreciate more rapidly than other assets. In addition, these loans may be unsecured. Consumer loans are more likely than real estate loans to be immediately affected in an adverse manner by job loss, divorce, illness, or personal bankruptcy. |
Troubled Debt Restructurings:
In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial condition, management may grant a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider, the related loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring, (“TDR”). Management strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and work with them to modify their loan to more affordable terms before their loan reaches nonaccrual status. These modified terms may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. In cases where borrowers are granted new terms that provide for a reduction of either interest or principal, management measures any impairment on the restructuring as noted above for impaired loans. On June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there were loans in the amount of $1.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, that were modified in troubled debt restructurings. There were no commitments to lend additional funds to these borrowers as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
During 2020, the Bank approved payment deferrals for customers experiencing hardships related to COVID-19. These deferrals were for no more than six months in duration and for loans that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. As such, they were not considered TDRs based on the relief provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and recent interagency regulatory guidance. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 there were loans in the amount of $2.9 million and $3.22 million, respectively, still on deferral.
Transfers of Financial Assets:
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Bank – put presumptively beyond reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.
Other Real Estate Owned:
Properties acquired by foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell and subsequently at the lower of the initially recorded amount and capitalized costs or estimated fair value less cost to sell. Costs of carrying the real estate are charged to expense. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank had no other real estate owned. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank had no consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process.
Paycheck Protection Program:
Beginning in April 2020, the Bank originated loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) of the Small Business Administration (SBA). PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA, and in some cases, borrowers may be eligible to obtain forgiveness of the loans, in which case loans would be repaid by the SBA. As repayment of the PPP loans is guaranteed by the SBA, the Bank does not recognize a reserve for PPP loans in its allowance for loan losses. The Bank received fees from the SBA of one percent to five percent of the principal amount of each loan originated under the PPP. Fees received from the SBA are recognized net of direct origination costs in interest income over the life of the related loans. Recognition of fees related to PPP loans is dependent upon the timing of ultimate repayment or forgiveness. Aggregate fees from the SBA of $3.6 million, net of direct costs, were being recognized in interest income over the life of the loans. As of June 30, 2022, there were no net fees which remained unrecognized due to forgiveness of all PPP loans being completed as of June 30, 2022, and as of December 31, 2021 there were $392 thousand, respectively, in net fees which remained unrecognized.
Premises and Equipment:
Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment, including construction of major capital additions, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives for computing depreciation on premises and equipment range from 3 to 50 years in each of these categories. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred.
Bank Owned Life Insurance:
The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives and other officers. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value. Any increase in the cash surrender value is recorded as noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In the event of the death of an individual under these policies, the Bank would receive a death benefit which would also be recorded as noninterest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Equity Based Compensation:
Compensation cost is recognized for equity awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant using an observable market price. The Company classifies stock awards as equity. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period on a straight-line basis. The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur.
Earnings Per Common Share:
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) represent income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by assuming dilution of common shares and adjusting net income for compensation cost attributable to the equity-based compensation plan. Basic average shares outstanding were 2,251,320 as of June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021. Dilutive average shares outstanding were 2,253,082 as of June 30, 2022 and 2,251,320 as of June 30, 2021. Basic and dilutive earnings per share were $1.73 and $1.11 at June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.
Income Taxes:
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, if any, in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was no liability recorded for unrecognized tax benefits.
Advertising Costs:
The Company accounts for its advertising costs as a charge to operations as the costs are incurred. Advertising costs were $287 thousand and $333 thousand for the six-months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in other non-interest expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Comprehensive Income (Loss):
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income (loss). As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, all the Company’s other comprehensive income relates to unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.
Restrictions on Retained Earnings:
According to certain banking regulations, there is a restriction on availability of the Bank’s retained earnings for the payment of dividends.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:
Goodwill arises from business combinations and is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exists that indicate that a goodwill impairment test should be performed. The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment test, which is generally conducted in the fourth quarter. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there was no impairment to goodwill. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Intangible amortization expense was $695 and $4,167 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Management evaluates securities for other than temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. At June 30, 2022, the Bank has 3 available-for-sale securities and twenty-two held-to-maturity securities in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months. At December 31, 2021, the Bank had three available-for-sale securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months. The unrealized losses on debt securities are reflective of interest rate fluctuations and are not a reflection of credit deterioration. Because the Bank does not intend to sell these investments and it is more likely than not that the Bank will not be required to sell these investments before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Bank does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. All securities were available-for-sale at December 31, 2021.
On April 1, 2022, in a proactive move to protect on-balance sheet tangible equity and minimize further unrealized loss positions, management made the decision to move approximately 75% of the securities portfolio from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity position. The book value of securities transferred was $106.28 million. The unrealized loss included in this transaction was $10.19 million. This move allows the bank to manage the unrealized loss position and amortize the impact to equity over the life of the securities without impacting earnings.

Management evaluates the credit quality of all loans based on an internal grading system that estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual terms of their loan agreement as scheduled or at all. The Bank’s internal risk grading is based on experiences with similarly graded loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. The Bank uses the following definitions for adverse risk ratings:
| ● | Special Mention - Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. |
| ● | Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. |
| ● | Doubtful - A loan classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. |

The Bank identifies loans for potential restructure primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future.

Note 6. Leases
The Company follows ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. The Company elected the prospective application approach provided by ASU 2018-11 and did not adjust prior periods for ASC 842. The Company also elected certain practical expedients within the standard and consistent with such elections did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and did not reassess any initial direct costs for existing leases. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities detailed below include four locations used by the Bank and three locations used by Mlend at June 30, 2022 and at December 31, 2021. Short-term leases, including those with initial terms of 12 months or less, are not included in these balances. Lease payments for short-term leases are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, or for variable lease payments, in the period in which the obligation was incurred.
Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs, and any incentives received from the lessor.
The Company’s long-term lease agreements are classified as operating leases. Certain of these leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent the options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

Note 10. Derivatives
We maintain and account for derivatives, in the form of interest-rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”), in accordance with the FASB guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. We recognize gains and losses on IRLCs on the mortgage loan pipeline through non-interest income and non-interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. IRLCs on mortgage loans that we intend to sell in the secondary market are considered derivatives. We are exposed to price risk from the time a mortgage loan closes until the time the loan is sold. The period between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 14 days to 60 days with a limited number of IRLC’s of up to 90 days. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the derivative assets and liabilities were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other assets and other liabilities, respectively.
Information pertaining to the notional amounts and fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:
As of June 30, 2022: | | Notional Amount | | | Estimated Fair Value | |
Asset - IRLCs | | $ | 2,656,307 | | | $ | 37,435 | |

Note 11. Regulatory Matters
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amount and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors
As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain the minimum ratios as set forth in the following tables.
Effective September 30, 2021, the Bank reverted back to the Basel III risk-weighting framework. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank met all requirements to be “well capitalized” under the risk-weighting framework.
Management believes as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.

Note 12. Fair Value
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” topic of FASB ASC-820, the fair value of an instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market and in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. U.S. GAAP requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its assets and liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on these two types of inputs are as follows:
| Level 1 – | | Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
| | | |
| Level 2 – | | Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market. |
| | | |
| Level 3 – | | Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market. |
The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Bank to measure certain assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:
Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2).
Interest rate lock commitments: The Company recognizes interest rate lock commitments at fair value based on the price of the underlying loans obtained from an investor for loans that will be delivered on a best-efforts basis while taking into consideration the probability (pull-through) that the rate lock commitments will close (Level 3). The pull-through rate is considered a level 3 input which at June 30, 2022, ranged from (70% - 90%), with a weighted average of (75%) based on the relative fair values of these assets.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used are as follows as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021:
| | Quoted Prices in Active | | | Significant | | | Significant | | | | |
| | Markets for identical | | | Other | | | Unobservable | | | | |

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:
Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, the Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Impaired Loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the Company’s collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal, of one year or less, conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the property is more than one year old and not solely based on observable market comparable or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, then a Level 3 valuation is considered to measure the fair value. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal, of one year or less, if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivable collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3).
Impaired loans allocated to the allowance for loan losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. No impaired loans were carried at fair value at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Other Real Estate Owned: OREO is measured at fair value in the same manner as described for impaired loans. Any initial fair value adjustment is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and included in noninterest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company had no other real estate owned at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis the Bank had no non-recurring assets with fair values at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are presented in the following tables whether or not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.
The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is summarized as follows as of June 30, 2022 and December 31 2021:

Note 13. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Substantially all the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers that is within the scope of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” is reported within non-interest income. Certain other in-scope items such as gains and losses on OREO are recorded in non-interest expense. The recognition of interest income and certain sources of non-interest income (e.g. gains on security transactions, bank owned life insurance income, gains on loans held for sale, etc.) are governed by other areas of U.S. GAAP. Significant revenue streams that are within scope of ASC 606 and included in non-interest income are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
A significant portion of noninterest income is derived from short-term contracts associated with services provided for deposit account holders. These revenue streams are principally comprised of overdrawn account charges, account maintenance charges, ATM fees, and monthly account fees. The Bank’s performance obligations on revenue generated from deposit accounts are generally satisfied immediately, when the transaction occurs, or by month-end. Typically, the duration of a contract does not extend beyond the services performed. Due to the short duration of most customer contracts which generate these sources of noninterest income, no significant judgments must be made in the determination of the amount and timing of revenue recognized.
VISA Check Card Income
The Bank earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted through the VISA payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.
Gains and Losses on the Sale of Other Real Estate Owned
The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer.
The following table describes the in-scope and out-of-scope noninterest income elements related to ASC Topic 606 for the six-months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021:

Contract Balances
The Company’s in-scope non-interest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfied its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of June 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.
Note 14. Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued. There are two types of subsequent events (1) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date. Subsequent events have been considered through September 28, 2022, the date financial statements were available to be issued.
On September 23, 2022, the Company filed a Post-Qualification Amendment No. 1 to its Offering Statement on Form 1-A with respect to the Company’s public offering of 600,000 shares of common stock under Regulation A, Tier 2. The public offering price is expected to be between $21.00 and $23.00 per share. The Company is offering the shares of common stock through an underwriter, Piper Sandler & Co. The underwriter will have a 30-day option to purchase up to 90,000 additional shares of common stock.
