Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The financial statements and accompanying notes are presented on a consolidated basis including Uwharrie Capital Corp (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, Uwharrie Bank (the “Bank”), Uwharrie Investment Advisors, Inc. (“UIA”), and Uwharrie Mortgage, Inc. The Bank consolidates its subsidiaries, The Strategic Alliance Corporation (“TSAC”), BOS Agency, Inc. (“BOS Agency”) and Gateway Mortgage, Inc., each of which is wholly owned by the Bank.
The information contained in the consolidated financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results of interim periods, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire year. Management is not aware of additional economic events, outside influences or changes in concentrations of business that would require additional clarification or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2024. This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with such Annual Report.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the 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 relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses.
Accounting Changes and Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2023 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2024 presentation. The provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments has been reclassified from other noninterest expense for periods prior to 2024. The reclassification is immaterial and did not have an impact on net income or shareholders’ equity.
Certain revisions have been made to previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 presented on Form 10-K. The carrying value and estimated fair value for securities held to maturity disclosed in Note 11 as of December 31, 2023 were revised due to an error in the calculation. These revisions did not change the securities reported in total assets and had no effect on net income.
We evaluated the effects of this error to our previously issued financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 and determined that the error was not material to the financial statements and disclosures previously reported on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company’s significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 1 of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2023.
Note 2 – Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports as comprehensive income all changes in shareholders’ equity during the year from sources other than shareholders. Other comprehensive income refers to all components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) of comprehensive income that are excluded from net income. The Company’s only component of other comprehensive income is unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax, on investment securities available for sale.
The following table presents the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:
| For the Three Months Ended September 30, | For the Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||

Note 3 – Noncontrolling Interest
In 2013, the Company’s subsidiary bank issued a total of $10.7 million of Fixed Rate Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B and Series C. The preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital at the Bank and pays dividends at an annual rate of 5.30%. The preferred stock has no voting rights. This capital is presented as noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheets. Dividends declared on this preferred stock are presented as earnings allocated to the noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of income.
Note 4 – Per Share Data
On October 15, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 2% stock dividend payable November 18, 2024 to shareholders of record on October 28, 2024. All information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements regarding earnings per share and weighted average number of shares outstanding has been computed giving effect to this stock dividend. The weighted average number of shares outstanding and earnings per share for the 2023 periods have also been adjusted for the 2% stock dividend declared on October 17, 2023.
Basic and diluted net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period after retroactively adjusting for stock dividends. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income of the Company. The Company hadno stock options outstanding at September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Basic and diluted net income per common share have been computed based upon net income available to common shareholders as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding or assumed to be outstanding.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 7,161,235 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 compared to 7,340,640 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 7,220,350 compared to 7,353,615 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.

The Company owned Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) stock reported at cost of $959,000 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company owned Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock reported at cost of $770,000 and $712,000 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The investments in FRB stock and FHLB stock are required investments related to the Company’s membership in, and borrowings with, these banks and are classified as restricted stock on the consolidated balance sheet. These investments are carried at cost since there is no ready market and redemption has historically been made at par value. The Company estimated that the fair value approximated cost and that these investments were not impaired at September 30, 2024.

On a quarterly basis, the Company monitors the credit quality of the debt securities held to maturity through the use of credit ratings. For unrated securities, primarily corporate bonds consisting of subordinated debt of bank holding companies, individual financial reports are reviewed quarterly. Capital, profitability, liquidity and other ratios are reviewed to assist in determining credit quality.
The following table summarizes the credit ratings of debt securities held to maturity, presented at amortized cost, by major security type at September 30, 2024.

At September 30, 2024, the Company hadno securities held to maturity that were past due 30 days or more as to principal or interest payments. The Company hadno securities held to maturity classified as nonaccrual for thenine months ended September 30, 2024.
Results from sales of securities available for sale for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were as follows:

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, securities available for sale with a carrying amount of $177.3 million and $137.1 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral on public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.
We believe the unrealized losses on investment securities are a result of a volatile market and fluctuations in market prices due to a rise in interest rates, which will adjust if rates decline. Management does not believe these fluctuations are a reflection of the credit quality of the investments.
The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and estimated fair value of available for sale securities, for which an allowance has not been recorded, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Declines in the fair value of the available for sale investment portfolio are believed by management to be temporary in nature. When evaluating an investment for credit loss, management considers, among other things, the extent to which the fair value has been in a loss position; the financial condition of the issuer through the review of credit ratings and, if necessary, corporate financial statements; adverse conditions specifically related to the security such as past due principal or interest; underlying assets that collateralize the debt security; other economic conditions and demographics; and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the investment until the loss position is recovered. Any unrealized losses were largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time of purchase. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. At September 30, 2024, the Company did not intend to sell and believed it was not likely to be required to sell the available for sale securities that were in a loss position prior to full recovery.

A loan may be individually assessed for determining the allowance for credit losses when it is determined that it does not share similar risk characteristics with other loans. Loans that are on nonaccrual status will be reviewed to determine if they will be individually, rather than collectively, assessed. If the loan is deemed to be collateral dependent and the relationship’s outstanding balance is $100,000 or greater, it will be individually assessed. Collateral dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Collateral dependent loans require an analysis of the collateral. The fair value of the collateral is discounted by liquidation costs. If the discounted fair value of the collateral is greater than the amortized loan balance, no allowance is required. Otherwise the difference between the balance and the collateral is charged off if deemed uncollectible.
The following table details the amortized cost of collateral dependent loans and any related allowance at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Management uses a risk-grading program to facilitate the evaluation of probable inherent loan losses and to measure the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on loans. In this program, risk grades are initially assigned by the loan officers and reviewed and monitored by the lenders and credit administration. The program has nine risk grades summarized in six categories as follows:
Pass: Loans that are pass grade credits include loans that are fundamentally sound, with risk factors that are reasonable and acceptable. They generally conform to policy with only minor exceptions; any major exceptions are clearly mitigated by other economic factors.
Watch: Loans that are acceptable but show signs of weakness in either adequate sources of repayment or collateral but have demonstrated mitigating factors that minimize the risk of delinquency or loss. These loans may deserve management’s attention.
Special Mention: Loans that exhibit potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. Credits within this category exhibit risk that is increasing beyond the point where the loan would have been originally approved.
Substandard: Loans that are considered substandard are loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the value of the collateral pledged. All nonaccrual loans are graded as substandard.
Doubtful: Loans that are considered to be doubtful have all weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard, plus the added characteristic that the weaknesses make the collection or liquidation in full on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values highly questionable and improbable.
Loss: Loans that are considered to be a loss are considered to be uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.

Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company uses a probability of default/loss given default model to determine the allowance for credit losses. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.
Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses due to the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. The Company rarely modifies loans by providing principal forgiveness. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses. In some cases, the Company will modify a loan by providing multiple types of concessions. Typically one type of concession is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession may be granted. Types of concessions include term extensions beyond customary terms, capitalization of accrued interest, interest rate reductions to below current market rates, payment deferrals or principal forgiveness.
There wereno loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The following table shows the amortized cost basis of loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, disaggregated by class of loans and type of concession granted, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

The Company didnot have any loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 that subsequently defaulted. A default on a modified loan is defined as being past due 90 days or being out of compliance with the modification agreement. The Company closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The following table shows the performance of loans that were modified during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023:

Note 8 - Leases
Operating leases in which we are the lessee are recorded as operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities, included in premises and equipment and other liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents our incremental collateralized borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. ROU assets are further adjusted for any lease incentives. Operating lease expense, which is composed of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in the net occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of income. We do not currently have any finance leases in which we are the lessee.
Our leases relate tofour office locations, three of which are branch locations, with remaining terms oftwo tofive years. Certain lease arrangements contain extension options which range from five toten years at the then fair market rental rates. As these extension options are not generally considered reasonably certain of exercise, they are not included in the lease term. As of September 30, 2024, operating lease ROU assets were $1.2 million and the operating lease liability was $1.3 million, compared tooperating lease ROU assets of $1.6 million and an operating lease liability of $1.7 million at September 30, 2023. Lease costs associated with all leases was$106,000 and $317,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company’s subsidiary bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, lines of credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized in the accompanying financial statements.
The Bank’s risk of loss with unfunded loans and lines of credit or standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments under such instruments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, real estate and time deposits with financial institutions. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Credit card commitments are unsecured.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, outstanding financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk were approximately:
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| (dollars in thousands) | ||
| Commitments to extend credit | $226,992 | $204,163 |
| Credit card commitments | 26,166 | 25,647 |
| Standby letters of credit | 8,141 | 7,878 |
| Total commitments | $261,299 | $237,688 |
The Company maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, as well as both standby and commercial letters of credit when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancelable. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the allowance for credit losses on loans. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments of $163,000 and $184,000 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, is separately classified on the balance sheet within Other Liabilities.
The following table presents the balance and activity in the allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
| Total Allowance for Credit Losses - Unfunded Loan Commitments | |
|---|---|
| (dollars in thousands) | |

Note 10 – Fair Value Disclosures
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements but clarifies and standardizes some divergent practices that have emerged since prior guidance was issued. ASC 820 creates a three-level hierarchy under which individual fair value estimates are to be ranked based on the relative reliability of the inputs used in the valuation.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which those assets or liabilities are sold and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing those assets or liabilities. Fair values determined using Level 1 inputs rely on active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. In situations where identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, fair values may be determined based on Level 2 inputs, which exist when observable data exists for similar assets and liabilities. Fair values for assets and liabilities for which identical or similar assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets are based on Level 3 inputs, which are considered to be unobservable.
Among the Company’s assets and liabilities, investment securities available for sale and mortgage banking derivatives are reported at their fair values on a recurring basis. Certain other assets are adjusted to their fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including other real estate owned, individually evaluated loans, loans held for sale, which are carried at the lower of cost or market, and loan servicing rights, where fair value is determined using similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term obligations are not reported at fair value.
Prices for U.S. Treasury and marketable equity securities are readily available in the active markets in which those securities are traded, and the resulting fair values are shown in the Level 1 input column. Prices for government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and state, county and municipal securities are obtained for similar securities, and the resulting fair values are shown in the Level 2 input column. Prices for all other non-marketable investments are determined based on various assumptions that are not observable. The fair values for these investment securities are shown in the Level 3 input column. Non-marketable investment securities, which are carried at their purchase price, include those that may only be redeemed by the issuer. The changes in securities between Level 1 and Level 2 were related to the purchase and sale of several securities and not the transfer of securities.
Mortgage banking derivatives, which are composed of interest rate lock commitments, or IRLCs, mortgage forward sales commitments and to-be-announced mortgage-backed securities trades (TBAs), are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value of the IRLCs is based on projected pull-through rates and anticipated margins based on changes in market interest rates. The Company considers these to be Level 3 valuations. The fair value of mortgage forward sales commitments and TBAs is based on the gain or loss that would occur if the Company were to pair-off the transaction at the measurement date and is considered to be a Level 2 input.
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, certain nonaccrual loans are individually evaluated in connection with determining the allowance for credit losses. If the loan is deemed to be collateral dependent and the relationship’s outstanding balance is $100,000 or greater, it will be individually evaluated. Collateral dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Collateral dependent loans require an analysis of the collateral. The fair value of the collateral is based on appraised values discounted by liquidation costs which the Company considers Level 3 valuations.
Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is recorded initially at the estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure. The initial recorded value may be subsequently reduced by additional allowances, which are charged to earnings if the estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs declines below the initial recorded value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. The Company typically bases the fair value of the collateral on appraised values, which the Company considers Level 3 valuations.
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate, based on secondary market prices. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. These loans are recorded in Level 2.
The following tables provide fair value information for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

| Balance at September 30, 2024 | $1,084 | $1,084 |
The fair value of mortgage IRLCs at September 30, 2024 was calculated based on a notional amount of $31.9 million. Significant unobservable inputs are used to determine the fair value of these derivatives. At September 30, 2024, such inputs included anticipated margins to be earned based on market movement from the original lock date and a weighted average projected pull-through rate of 87.5% determined by loan product, loan stage, and loan purpose. The fair value of mortgage IRLCs at December 31, 2023 was calculated based on a notional amount of $21.8 million. Significant unobservable inputs were the same as those used for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and assumed a weighted average projected pull-through rate of 82.0% at December 31, 2023. Changes in interest rates and other assumptions could significantly change these estimated values.
The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value less cost to sell at the end of the period. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Note 11– Fair Values of Financial Instruments
ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis.
The fair value estimates presented at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are intended to represent the price an asset could be sold at or the price at which a liability could be settled. However, given there is no active market or observable market transactions for many of the Company’s financial instruments, the Company has made estimates of many of these fair values which are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimated values. The estimated fair values disclosed in the following table do not represent market values of all assets and liabilities of the Company and should not be interpreted to represent the underlying value of the Company.
The following tables reflect a comparison of carrying amounts and the estimated fair value of the financial instruments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

At September 30, 2024 the Company’s subsidiary bank had outstanding standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit. These off-balance sheet financial instruments are generally exercisable at the market rate prevailing at the date the underlying transaction will be completed; therefore, the fair value is the fee the Bank is expected to receive. This amount is deemed immaterial by management. See Note 9 (Commitments and Contingencies) to the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 12– Mortgage Banking Derivatives
The Company enters into commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding, otherwise known as Interest Rate Lock Commitments (IRLCs). IRLCs on mortgage loans that will be held for resale are considered to be derivatives and must be accounted for at fair value on the balance sheet. Accordingly, such commitments are recorded at fair value in the mortgage banking derivatives asset or liability with changes in fair value recorded in income from mortgage banking within the consolidated statement of income. Fair value is based on anticipated margins determined by market movement from the original lock date and projected pull-through rates on a loan-by-loan basis based on loan product, loan stage, and loan purpose.
During the term of the IRLC, the Company is exposed to the risk that the interest rate will change from the rate quoted to the borrower. In an effort to mitigate interest rate risk, the Company also enters into mortgage forward sales commitments on a mandatory basis for future delivery of residential mortgage loans after an interest rate lock is committed to the borrower. Mandatory commitments require that the loan must be delivered to the investor or a pair-off fee be paid. These forward commitments are recorded at fair value in the mortgage banking derivatives asset or liability, and changes in fair value are recorded to income from mortgage banking within the consolidated statement of income. The fair value of the forward commitments is based on the gain or loss that would occur if the Company were to pair-off the transaction at the measurement date.
The Company also enters into purchase and sale agreements of to-be-announced mortgage-backed securities trades (TBAs). A TBA trade is a contract to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities on a specific date while the underlying mortgages are not announced until just prior to settlement. These TBA trades provide an economic hedge against the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from IRLCs. TBAs are accounted for as derivatives when either of the following conditions exist: (i) when settlement of the TBA trade is not expected to occur at the next regular settlement date (which is typically the next month) or (ii) a mechanism exists to settle the contract on a net basis. As a result, these instruments are recorded at fair value in the mortgage banking derivatives asset or liability with changes in fair value recorded in income from mortgage banking within the consolidated statement of income. The fair value of the TBA trades is based on the gain or loss that would occur if the Company were to pair-off the trade at the measurement date.
The following table reflects the notional amount and fair value of mortgage banking derivatives included in the balance sheet at fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
| Notional Amount | Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|

Note 13– Short-Term Borrowed Funds
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company borrowed $5.0 million through the FRB’s Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”). The BTFP was established as an additional source of liquidity against high-quality securities valued at par. The program offered loans of up toone year in length to banks pledging U.S. Treasuries, agency debt, mortgage-backed securities, and other qualifying assets as collateral. The borrowing was secured by three available for sale agency securities issued by the Small Business Administration with par value totaling $7.5 million. The note was set to mature on January 22, 2025 and charged interest at a rate of 4.93%. On September 18, 2024 this short-term borrowing was paid off which resulted in a decrease of $5.0 million in short term liabilities for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Note 14 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Other Changes
ASC 848, “Reference Rate Reform,” was set forth to eliminate certain reference rates and introduce new reference rates that are based on a larger, more liquid population of observable transactions that are less vulnerable to manipulation. The reference rate reform discontinues the use of certain widely used reference rates such as the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR. In response to likely challenges arising from contract modifications due to reference rate reform, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” in March 2020 to provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications. As such, modifications to debt contracts may be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contract by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate. This amendment could be applied beginning March 12, 2020 through a sunset date of December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848.” These amendments extend the period of time preparers can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance in Topic 848. The objective of the guidance in Topic 848 is to provide relief during the temporary transition period, so the FASB included a sunset provision based on expectations of when LIBOR would cease being published. In 2021, the UK Financial Conduct Authority delayed the intended cessation date of certain tenors of USD LIBOR to June 30, 2023. To ensure the relief provided in Topic 848 covers the period of time during which a significant number of modifications may take place, ASU 2022-06 defers the sunset date from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. ASU 2022-06 was effective upon issuance. The Company no longer holds or issues loan contracts that reference LIBOR. As of July 1, 2023, all loan contracts that previously referenced LIBOR had been modified. The Company does not anticipate a material financial impact as a result of these modifications.
ASU 2023-01 “Leases (Topic 842) – Common Control Arrangements” requires entities to determine whether a related party arrangement between entities under common control is a lease. If the arrangement is determined to be a lease, an entity must classify and account for the lease on the same basis as an arrangement with a related party (on the basis of legally enforceable terms and conditions). ASU 2023-01 was effective January 1, 2024 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The amendments apply to all public entities that are required to report segment information in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The amendments in the ASU are intended to improve disclosures about a public entity's reportable segments through enhanced disclosures about a segment's expenses. The amendments require, on an interim and annual basis, disclosures of significant expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, as well as any other key measure of performance used for segment management decisions. The amendments require that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses key profitability measures in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts related to the adoption of the ASU.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which enhances income tax disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, entities must disclose additional information in specified categories for federal, state and foreign income taxes with respect to the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate (rate reconciliation). Greater detail is also required about individual reconciling items in the rate reconciliation to the extent the impact of those items exceeds a specified threshold. Additionally, the amendments require that entities must disaggregate income taxes paid, net of refunds received, for federal, state and foreign taxes and further disaggregate for specific jurisdictions to the extent the related amounts exceed a quantitative threshold. The quantitative threshold is equal to 5% or more of the amount determined by multiplying pretax income (loss) from continuing operations by the applicable statutory rate. Public business entities must apply the guidance to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2025, though early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments prospectively or may elect retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impacts related to the adoption of this ASU.
