The portfolio is segmented into Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”) which is further segmented into Owner Occupied (“CRE OO”), Non-owner Occupied (“CRE NOO”), and Multifamily, Residential Real Estate (“RRE”), Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”), Home Equity Lines of Credit (“HELOC”), Construction and Other (“Construction”), and Consumer Installment Loans. The commercial real estate loan segments consist of loans made to finance the activities of commercial real estate owners and operators and certain agricultural loans. The residential real estate and HELOC loan segments consist of loans made to finance the activities of residential homeowners. The C&I loan segment consists of loans made to finance the activities of commercial customers and certain agricultural loans. The consumer loan segment consists primarily of installment loans and overdraft lines of credit connected with customer deposit accounts. Management evaluates individual loans in all commercial segments for possible impairment based on guidelines established by the Board of Directors. Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company 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 evaluating impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of 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 concerning the principal and interest owed.

Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, repossession, or death, occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Commercial Loan Officers are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis. The Credit Department performs an annual review of all commercial relationships with loan balances of $750,000 or greater. Confirmation of the appropriate risk grade is included in the ongoing review. The Company engages an external consultant to conduct loan reviews on a semiannual basis. Detailed reviews, including resolutions plans, are performed on loans classified as Substandard every quarter. Loans in the Special Mention and Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in determining the allowance.

An allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio. The ALLL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the loan portfolio's risk characteristics and credit quality, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience, and the amount of nonperforming loans. The Company’s methodology for determining the ALLL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310 10 35 450 20 two The classes described above, which are based on the purpose code assigned to each loan, provide the starting point for the ALLL analysis. Management tracks the historical net charge-off activity at the purpose code level. Then, a historical charge-off factor is calculated utilizing the last twelve Management has identified several additional qualitative factors to supplement the historical charge-off factor. These factors likely cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience. The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources are: ● national and local economic trends and conditions; ● levels of and trends in delinquency rates and nonaccrual loans; ● trends in volumes and terms of loans; ● effects of changes in lending policies; ● experience, ability, and depth of lending staff; ● value of underlying collateral; ● and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry, and/or geographic standpoint. Management reviews the loan portfolio every quarter using a defined, consistently applied process to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALLL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALLL. The following tables summarize the ALLL within the primary segments of the loan portfolio and the activity within those segments (in thousands): Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Balance Balance December 31, 2021 Charge-offs Recoveries Provision December 31, 2022 Loans: Commercial real estate: Owner occupied $ 1,836 $ - $ 5 $ 362 $ 2,203 Non-owner occupied 7,431 (150 ) 23 (1,707 ) 5,597 Multifamily 454 - - 208 662 Residential real estate 1,740 - 61 246 2,047 Commercial and industrial 882 (40 ) 312 329 1,483 Home equity lines of credit 1,452 (25 ) - 326 1,753 Construction and other 533 - - 76 609 Consumer installment 14 (231 ) 141 160 84 Total $ 14,342 $ (446 ) $ 542 $ - $ 14,438 Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Balance Balance December 31, 2020 Charge-offs Recoveries Provision December 31, 2021 Loans: Commercial real estate: Owner occupied $ 1,342 $ - $ 45 $ 449 $ 1,836 Non-owner occupied 6,817 (313 ) 138 789 7,431 Multifamily 461 - - (7 ) 454 Residential real estate 1,683 (27 ) 27 57 1,740 Commercial and industrial 1,353 (1 ) 194 (664 ) 882 Home equity lines of credit 1,405 56 (9 ) 1,452 Construction and other 378 - 46 109 533 Consumer installment 20 (124 ) 142 (24 ) 14 Total $ 13,459 $ (465 ) $ 648 $ 700 $ 14,342 The provision fluctuations during the year ended December 31, 2022, ● non-owner occupied commercial loans due to a decrease in substandard credits. ● owner occupied commercial loans due to an increase in loans, coupled with an increase in the specific reserve on impaired loans. ● commercial and industrial loans, residential real estate loans, and multifamily loans are due to an increase in loans ● home equity lines of credit and residential loans are due to an increase in loans, coupled with an increase in the specific reserve on impaired loans.
