Critical Accounting Estimates

In reviewing and understanding financial information for the Company, you are encouraged to read and understand the significant accounting policies used in preparing our financial statements. These policies are described in Note 2 of the notes to our financial statements. The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements require certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. The following accounting estimates comprise those that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These policies require numerous estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to variations which may significantly affect our reported results and financial condition for the period or in future periods.

Management evaluates the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio on an ongoing basis and performs a formal review of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on a quarterly basis. The ACL is established through a provision for credit losses charged to earnings and is maintained at a level that management considers to be an estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. Loans, or portions of loans, determined by management to be uncollectible are charged off against the ACL, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the ACL.

Determining the amount of the ACL is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience and reasonable and supportable forecasts, as well as consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination of the Company, also review the ACL, and may require, based on information available to them at the time of their examination, that management make the necessary adjustments to bring the ACL balance to an appropriate level. Additionally, the ACL is determined, in part, by the composition and size of the loan portfolio.
