Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses | Note 4: Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses Classes of loans are summarized as follows: (dollars in thousands) March 31, 2021 June 30, 2020 Real Estate Loans: Residential $ 655,800 $ 627,357 Construction 202,945 185,924 Commercial 897,450 887,419 Consumer loans 76,347 80,767 Commercial loans 421,825 468,448 2,254,367 2,249,915 Loans in process (80,203) (78,452) Deferred loan fees, net (4,052) (4,395) Allowance for credit losses (35,227) (25,139) Total loans $ 2,134,885 $ 2,141,929 The Company’s lending activities consist of origination of loans secured by mortgages on one- to four-family residences and commercial and agricultural real estate, construction loans on residential and commercial properties, commercial and agricultural business loans and consumer loans. At March 31, 2021 the Company had purchased participations in 22 loans totaling $75.3 million, as compared to 23 loans totaling $58.2 million at June 30, 2020. Residential Mortgage Lending. The Company also originates loans secured by multi-family residential properties that are often located outside the Company’s primary lending area but made to borrowers who operate within our primary market area. The majority of the multi-family residential loans that are originated by the Company are amortized over periods generally up to 25 years, with balloon maturities typically up to ten years. Both fixed and adjustable interest rates are offered and it is typical for the Company to include an interest rate “floor” and “ceiling” in the loan agreement. Generally, multi-family residential loans do not exceed 85% of the lower of the appraised value or purchase price of the secured property. General risks related to multi-family residential lending include rental demand, rental rates, and vacancies, as well as collateral values and borrower leverage. Commercial Real Estate Lending. Most commercial real estate loans originated by the Company generally are based on amortization schedules of up to 25 years with monthly principal and interest payments. Generally, the interest rate received on these loans is fixed for a maturity for up to ten years, with a balloon payment due at maturity. Alternatively, for some loans, the interest rate adjusts at least annually after an initial period up to seven years. The Company typically includes an interest rate “floor” in the loan agreement. Generally, improved commercial real estate loan amounts do not exceed 80% of the lower of the appraised value or the purchase price of the secured property. Agricultural real estate terms offered differ slightly, with amortization schedules of up to 25 years with an 80% loan-to-value ratio, or 30 years with a 75% loan-to-value ratio. Construction Lending. six While the Company typically utilizes relatively short maturity periods to closely monitor the inherent risks associated with construction loans for these loans, weather conditions, change orders, availability of materials and/or labor, and other factors may contribute to the lengthening of a project, thus necessitating the need to renew the construction loan at the balloon maturity. Such extensions are typically executed in incremental three month periods to facilitate project completion. The Company’s average term of construction loans is approximately eight months. During construction, loans typically require monthly interest only payments which may allow the Company an opportunity to monitor for early signs of financial difficulty should the borrower fail to make a required monthly payment. Additionally, during the construction phase, the Company typically performs interim inspections which further allow the Company opportunity to assess risk. At March 31, 2021, construction loans outstanding included 52 loans, totaling $28.0 million, for which a modification had been agreed to. At June 30, 2020, construction loans outstanding included 77 loans, totaling $48.8 million, for which a modification had been agreed to. In general, these modifications were solely for the purpose of extending the maturity date due to conditions described above, pursuant to the Company’s normal underwriting and monitoring procedures. As these modifications were not executed due to financial difficulty on the part of the borrower, they were not accounted for as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs); nor were they made pursuant to exemptions provided under the CARES Act. Under the CARES Act, financial institutions have the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under U.S. GAAP related to TDRs for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. Loans modified under the CARES Act did not include any construction loans with drawn balances at March 31, 2021. Consumer Lending Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) are secured with a deed of trust and are issued up to 100% of the appraised or assessed value of the property securing the line of credit, less the outstanding balance on the first mortgage and are typically issued for a term of ten years. Interest rates on the HELOCs are generally adjustable. Interest rates are based upon the loan-to-value ratio of the property with better rates given to borrowers with more equity. Risks related to HELOC lending generally include the stability of borrower income and collateral values. Automobile loans originated by the Company include both direct loans and a smaller amount of loans originated by auto dealers. The Company generally pays a negotiated fee back to the dealer for indirect loans. Typically, automobile loans are made for terms of up to 60 months for new and used vehicles. Loans secured by automobiles have fixed rates and are generally made in amounts up to 100% of the purchase price of the vehicle. Risks to automobile and other consumer lending generally include the stability of borrower income and borrower willingness to repay. Commercial Business Lending Allowance for Credit Losses. ● trailing measures ( 12-month ) of national and state unemployment, which continued to increase in the most recent quarter. This is assessed to be an elevated and increasing risk factor; ● trailing measures ( 2 years ) of GDP growth, which continued to improve in the most recent quarter, but over the lookback period remains very low by historical standards. This is considered to be an elevated and declining risk factor; ● projected GDP growth, which increased in the most recent quarter, and remains quite high by historical standards. This is considered to be a low and stable risk factor; ● the pace of growth of the Company’s loan portfolio, exclusive of acquisitions or government guaranteed loans, relative to overall economic growth. This measure remains elevated, but continued to moderate in the most recent quarter, and is considered to be an elevated and declining risk factor; ● levels and trends for loan delinquencies nationally and in the region. This measure as reported remains relatively stable, but management considers the measure to currently be under-reported due to the availability of modifications under the CARES Act. This is considered to be an elevated and uncertain risk factor; ● exposure to the hotel industry, in particular, metropolitan area hotels more impacted by activity restrictions and a lack of business or convention-related travel. This is considered to be an elevated and stable risk factor. Management considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its consumer and business borrowers, particularly those business borrowers most affected by efforts to contain the pandemic, including our borrowers in the retail and multi-tenant retail industry, restaurants, and hotels, when making qualitative factor adjustments. To date, various relief efforts, notably including the availability of forgivable Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans to borrowers and deferrals or modifications available as encouraged by banking regulatory authorities and the CARES Act, have resulted in limited impact on the Company’s credit quality indicators, as is true of the industry generally. It is possible that the ongoing adverse effects of the pandemic may not be offset by future relief efforts, which could cause the outlook for economic conditions and levels and trends of past-due loans to significantly worsen, and require additions to the ACL. The following tables present the balance in the ACL and the recorded investment in loans (excluding loans in process and deferred loan fees) based on portfolio segment as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, and activity in the ACL and ALLL for the three- and nine- month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020: At period end and for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 Residential Construction Commercial (dollars in thousands) Real Estate Real Estate Real Estate Consumer Commercial Total Allowance for credit losses: Balance, beginning of period prior to adoption of CECL $ 4,875 $ 2,010 $ 12,132 $ 1,182 $ 4,940 $ 25,139 Impact of CECL adoption 3,521 (121) 3,856 1,065 1,012 9,333 Provision charged to expense 1,536 129 1,319 (929) (670) 1,385 Losses charged off (178) — (90) (130) (276) (674) Recoveries 1 — 1 16 26 44 Balance, end of period $ 9,755 $ 2,018 $ 17,218 $ 1,204 $ 5,032 $ 35,227 For the three months ended March 31, 2021 Residential Construction Commercial (dollars in thousands) Real Estate Real Estate Real Estate Consumer Commercial Total Allowance for loan losses: Balance, beginning of period $ 10,398 $ 2,387 $ 15,239 $ 1,362 $ 6,085 $ 35,471 Provision charged to expense (576) (369) 2,070 (107) (1,018) — Losses charged off (68) — (91) (57) (42) (258) Recoveries 1 — — 6 7 14 Balance, end of period $ 9,755 $ 2,018 $ 17,218 $ 1,204 $ 5,032 $ 35,227 At period end and for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 Residential Construction Commercial (dollars in thousands) Real Estate Real Estate Real Estate Consumer Commercial Total Allowance for loan losses: Balance, beginning of period $ 3,706 $ 1,365 $ 9,399 $ 1,046 $ 4,387 $ 19,903 Provision charged to expense 1,195 246 2,140 156 397 4,134 Losses charged off (305) — (12) (117) (173) (607) Recoveries 18 — 15 17 28 78 Balance, end of period $ 4,614 $ 1,611 $ 11,542 $ 1,102 $ 4,639 $ 23,508 Ending Balance: individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Ending Balance: collectively evaluated for impairment $ 4,614 $ 1,611 $ 11,542 $ 1,102 $ 4,639 $ 23,508 Ending Balance: loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — For the three months ended March 31, 2020 Residential Construction Commercial (dollars in thousands) Real Estate Real Estate Real Estate Consumer Commercial Total Allowance for loan losses: Balance, beginning of period $ 3,712 $ 1,657 $ 9,827 $ 1,050 $ 4,568 $ 20,814 Provision charged to expense 1,035 (46) 1,727 64 70 2,850 Losses charged off (133) — (12) (19) (26) (190) Recoveries — — — 7 27 34 Balance, end of period $ 4,614 $ 1,611 $ 11,542 $ 1,102 $ 4,639 $ 23,508 At June 30, 2020 Residential Construction Commercial (dollars in thousands) Real Estate Real Estate Real Estate Consumer Commercial Total Allowance for loan losses: Balance, end of period $ 4,875 $ 2,010 $ 12,132 $ 1,182 $ 4,940 $ 25,139 Ending Balance: individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Ending Balance: collectively evaluated for impairment $ 4,875 $ 2,010 $ 12,132 $ 1,182 $ 4,940 $ 25,139 Ending Balance: loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Loans: Ending Balance: individually evaluated for impairment $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Ending Balance: collectively evaluated for impairment $ 626,085 $ 106,194 $ 872,716 $ 80,767 $ 463,902 $ 2,149,664 Ending Balance: loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality $ 1,272 $ 1,278 $ 14,703 $ — $ 4,546 $ 21,799 Included in the Company’s loan portfolio are certain loans acquired in a business combination that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, which are considered purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) loans. Prior to the July 1, 2020 adoption of ASU 2016-13, these loans were accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, and were described as purchased credit impaired (PCI) loans. Under ASC 310-30, these loans were written down at acquisition to an amount estimated to be collectible, and, unless there was further deterioration following the acquisition, an ALLL was not recognized for these loans. As a result, certain historical ratios regarding the Company’s loan portfolio and credit quality cannot be used to compare the Company to peer companies or to compare the Company’s credit quality over time. The ratios particularly affected by accounting under ASC 310-30 include the allowance as a percentage of loans, nonaccrual loans, and nonperforming assets, and nonaccrual loans and nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans. For more information about the transition from PCI to PCD status of the Company’s acquired loans, see Note 2: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Loans Credit Quality Indicators Watch Special Mention Substandard financial condition, and insufficient collateral. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be Pass A periodic review of selected credits (based on loan size and type) is conducted to identify loans with heightened risk or probable losses and to assign risk grades. The primary responsibility for this review rests with loan administration personnel. This review is supplemented with periodic examinations of both selected credits and the credit review process by the Company’s internal audit function and applicable regulatory agencies. The information from these reviews assists management in the timely identification of problems and potential problems and provides a basis for deciding whether the credit continues to share similar risk characteristics with collectively evaluated loan pools, or whether credit losses for the loan should be evaluated on an individual loan basis. The following table presents the credit risk profile of the Company’s loan portfolio (excluding loans in process and deferred loan fees) based on rating category and year of origination as of March 31, 2021. This table includes PCD loans, which are reported according to risk categorization after acquisition based on the Company’s standards for such classification: Revolving 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 Prior loans Total Residential Real Estate Pass $ 247,325 $ 198,404 $ 39,207 $ 36,547 $ 27,142 $ 84,507 $ 5,385 $ 638,517 Watch 125 71 10,994 — 93 817 — 12,100 Special Mention — — — — — — — — Substandard 4,652 48 17 52 — 414 — 5,183 Doubtful — — — — — — — — Total Residential Real Estate $ 252,102 $ 198,523 $ 50,218 $ 36,599 $ 27,235 $ 85,738 $ 5,385 $ 655,800 Construction Real Estate Pass $ 73,397 $ 42,331 $ 6,998 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 122,726 Watch — — — — — — — — Special Mention — — — — — — — — Substandard 16 — — — — — — 16 Doubtful — — — — — — — — Total Construction Real Estate $ 73,413 $ 42,331 $ 6,998 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 122,742 Commercial Real Estate Pass $ 264,035 $ 174,218 $ 109,116 $ 105,165 $ 76,865 $ 84,000 $ 25,836 $ 839,235 Watch 4,271 813 10,740 5,393 530 460 819 23,026 Special Mention — 8,806 — 1,793 12,826 — 300 23,725 Substandard 8,713 1,162 506 6 50 101 69 10,607 Doubtful — — 857 — — — — 857 Total Commercial Real Estate $ 277,019 $ 184,999 $ 121,219 $ 112,357 $ 90,271 $ 84,561 $ 27,024 $ 897,450 Consumer Pass $ 17,990 $ 10,989 $ 4,580 $ 1,584 $ 797 $ 689 $ 39,459 $ 76,088 Watch 83 — — — — — 48 131 Special Mention — — — — — — — — Substandard — 26 — 36 32 — 34 128 Doubtful — — — — — — — — Total Consumer $ 18,073 $ 11,015 $ 4,580 $ 1,620 $ 829 $ 689 $ 39,541 $ 76,347 Commercial Pass $ 152,172 $ 94,604 $ 21,289 $ 8,517 $ 7,831 $ 9,686 $ 118,221 $ 412,320 Watch 1,284 274 1,791 139 — 7 1,991 5,486 Special Mention — — — — — — — — Substandard 449 1,109 321 1 176 4 1,959 4,019 Doubtful — — — — — — — — Total Commercial $ 153,905 $ 95,987 $ 23,401 $ 8,657 $ 8,007 $ 9,697 $ 122,171 $ 421,825 Total Loans Pass $ 754,919 $ 520,546 $ 181,190 $ 151,813 $ 112,635 $ 178,882 $ 188,901 $ 2,088,886 Watch 5,763 1,158 23,525 5,532 623 1,284 2,858 40,743 Special Mention — 8,806 — 1,793 12,826 — 300 23,725 Substandard 13,830 2,345 844 95 258 519 2,062 19,953 Doubtful — — 857 — — — — 857 Total $ 774,512 $ 532,855 $ 206,416 $ 159,233 $ 126,342 $ 180,685 $ 194,121 $ 2,174,164 At March 31, 2021, PCD loans comprised $3.2 million of credits rated “Pass”; $9.0 million of credits rated “Watch”; none rated “Special Mention”; $3.7 million of credits rated “Substandard”; and none rated “Doubtful”.

Loans with such modifications in effect at March 31, 2021, included $40.4 million in loans reported as current in the above table, while none were past due. Loans with such modifications in effect at June 30, 2020, included $380.1 million in loans reported as current in the above table, while an additional $29,000 of consumer loans and $1,000 in residential real estate loans with such modifications were reported as 30-59 days past due, and $66,000 of commercial loans with such modifications were reported as 60-89 days past due at such date. At March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020 there were no PCD or PCI loans that were greater than 90 days past due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not adversely classified or determined to not share similar risk characteristics with collectively evaluated pools of loans for determination of the ACL estimate. 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 in relation to the principal and interest owed. Significant payment delays or shortfalls may lead to a determination that a loan should be individually evaluated for estimated credit losses. Collateral-dependent Loans. Amortized cost basis of loans determined to be Related allowance collateral dependent for credit losses (dollars in thousands) Residential real estate loans 1- to 4-family residential loans $ 904 $ 232 Total loans $ 904 $ 232 Impairment The table below presents impaired loans (excluding loans in process and deferred loan fees) as of June 30, 2020. The table includes PCI loans at June 30, 2020 for which it was deemed probable, at acquisition, that the Company would be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. In an instance where, subsequent to the acquisition, the Company determined it was probable, for a specific loan, that cash flows received would exceed the amount previously expected, the Company will recalculate the amount of accretable yield in order to recognize the improved cash flow expectation as additional interest income over the remaining life of the loan. These loans, however, continued to be reported as impaired loans. In an instance where, subsequent to the acquisition, the Company determined it was probable, for a specific loan, that cash flows received would be less than the amount previously expected, the Company would allocate a specific allowance under the terms of ASC 310-10-35.
