Current report
Total interest expense increased $5.7 million, from $9.0 million for 2023 to $14.7 million for 2024, due to increases in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 1.11% for 2023 to 1.73% for 2024 and in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities from $809.2 million for 2023 to $850.0 million for 2024. The Company’s average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased from $794.4 million for 2023 to $820.4 million for 2024 in addition to the average cost of interest-bearing deposits increasing from 1.04% for 2023 to 1.61% for 2024. The Company’s average balance of outstanding advances from the FHLB decreased from $6.1 million for 2023 to $1.7 million for 2024, partially offset by an increase in the average rate on outstanding advances from the FHLB from 5.59% for 2023 to 5.70% for 2024. The Company’s average outstanding borrowings under the Federal Reserve Bank’s BTFP increased from $8.6 million for 2023 to $27.9 million for 2024, partially offset by a decrease in the average rate on outstanding borrowings under the Federal Reserve Bank’s BTFP from 5.05% for 2023 to 4.85% for 2024. For further information, see “Average Balances and Yields” below. The changes in interest income and interest expense resulting from changes in volume and changes in rates for 2024 and 2023 are shown in the schedule captioned “Rate/Volume Analysis” included herein.
Current report
Provision for Credit Losses*.*Based on management’s analysis of the ACL on loans and unfunded loan commitments, the provision for credit losses increased from $1.1 million for 2023 to $1.4 million for 2024 primarily due to loan growth, an increase in nonperforming assets during the year, as well as management’s consideration of macroeconomic uncertainty. The Bank recognized net charge-offs of $173,000 for 2024 compared to $469,000 for 2023. In addition, nonperforming loans increased from $1.8 million at December 31, 2023 to $4.4 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the nonaccrual classification of two commercial loan relationships totaling $2.6 million. Loans in these relationships are secured by a variety of real estate and business assets.
Current report
Noninterest Income*.* Noninterest income increased $24,000 for 2024 as compared to 2023 primarily due to increases in gains on the sale of loans and service charges on deposit accounts of $133,000 and $59,000, respectively. These were partially offset by the Company recognizing a $374,000 loss on equity securities during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to a $207,000 loss during the same period in 2023.
Current report
Noninterest Expense*.* Noninterest expenses increased $1.8 million for 2024 as compared to 2023. This was primarily due to increases in professional fees, compensation and benefits, and other expenses of $663,000, $536,000 and $260,000, respectively, when comparing the two periods. The increase in professional fees is primarily due to increased costs associated with the Company’s annual audit and fees being accrued for the Company’s ongoing core contract negotiations. The increase in compensation and benefits is due to standard increases in salary and wages as well as increases in the cost of Company-provided health insurance benefits. The increase in other expenses included a $90,000 increase in the Company’s support of local communities through sponsorships and donations, a $64,000 increase in check and debit card fraud losses, $30,000 in increased dues and subscriptions, and $25,000 in increased expenses related to employee training and education.
Current report
Cash and cash equivalents increased** **from $38.7 million at December 31, 2023 to $105.9 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to inflows from available for sale security proceeds and deposit increases.
Removed paragraphs (22)
Previous report
Valuation Methodologies**.**In the ordinary course of business, management applies various valuation methodologies to assets and liabilities that often involve a significant degree of judgment, particularly when active markets do not exist for the items being valued. Generally, in evaluating various assets for potential impairment, management compares the fair value to the carrying value. Quoted market prices are referred to when estimating fair values for certain assets, such as certain investment securities. For investment securities for which quoted market prices are not available, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. However, for those items for which market-based prices do not exist and an independent pricing service is not readily available, management utilizes significant estimates and assumptions to value such items. Examples of these items include goodwill and other intangible assets, acquired loans and deposits, foreclosed and other repossessed assets, collateral dependent loans, stock-based compensation and certain other financial investments. The use of different assumptions could produce significantly different results, which could have material positive or negative effects on the Company’s results of operations. Note 19 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements describes the methodologies used to determine the fair value of investment securities, collateral dependent loans, loans held for sale and foreclosed real estate. There were no changes in the valuation techniques and related inputs used during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Provision for Loan Losses*.* Based on management’s analysis of the allowance for loan losses, a provision for loan losses of $950,000 was recognized for 2022 primarily due to loan growth. The Company recognized a negative provision for losses of $325,000 for 2021 primarily to reflect changes to qualitative factors within the Bank’s allowance for loan losses calculation related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Total outstanding loans increased by $75.3 million during 2022 as compared to a decrease of $18.4 million during 2021. Net charge-offs increased from $217,000 for 2021 to $261,000 for 2022, and nonperforming loans increased from $1.3 million at December 31, 2021 to $1.5 million at December 31, 2022. The provisions were recorded to bring the allowance to the level determined in applying the allowance methodology after reduction for net charge-offs during the year.
Previous report
Provisions for loan losses are charges to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered reasonable by management to provide for probable known and inherent loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specified impaired loans and economic conditions. Although management uses the best information available, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to changes in economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions that may be beyond the Bank’s control. While the Bank maintains the allowance for loan losses at a level that it considers adequate to provide for estimated losses, there can be no assurance that further additions will not be made to the allowance for loan losses and that actual losses will not exceed the estimated amounts.
Previous report
Noninterest Income*.* Noninterest income decreased $1.6 million to $7.9 million for 2022 primarily due to a decrease of $1.6 million in gains on the sale of loans as increased interest rates slowed lending in residential mortgages. There was also a $414,000 unrealized loss on equity securities in 2022 compared to a $328,000 unrealized gain on equity securities during 2021. This was partially offset by increases in services charges on deposit accounts and ATM and debit card fees of $399,000 and $269,000, respectively.
Previous report
Noninterest Expense*.* Noninterest expense increased $557,000 to $25.1 million for 2022 primarily due to increases in data processing expense, compensation and benefits expense and other expenses of $499,000, $160,000 and $112,000, respectively. This was partially offset by a $282,000 decrease in professional fees when comparing the two periods. A significant factor in the increase in data processing expenses during 2022 was an increase in ATM processing fees and the continued expansion of digital products.

ITEM 7A. **QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Reworded paragraphs (19)
Previous wording
As the holding company for the Bank, the Company conducts its business primarily through the Bank. The Bank’s results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and borrowings from the FHLB and BTFP. The Bank’s net income is also affected by, among other things, fee income, provisions for credit losses, operating expenses and income tax provisions. The Bank’s results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government legislation and policies concerning monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions and the intended actions of the regulatory authorities.

Previous wording
The Company utilizes a combination of methods in determining expected future credit losses, including the Open Pool/Snapshot method, which starts with a loan portfolio’s composition at a point in time and tracks that portfolio’s performance in subsequent periods until final disposition, and the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity method, which uses average annual charge-off rates and the remaining life of the loan to estimate the ACL. For the Company’s loan portfolios, the remaining contractual life for each loan is adjusted by the expected scheduled payments and estimated prepayments. The average annual charge-off rate is applied to the amortization adjusted remaining life of the loan to determine the unadjusted lifetime historical charge-off rate. The Company’s expected loss estimate is anchored in historical credit loss experience, with an emphasis on all available portfolio data.

Previous wording
Net Interest Income.** Net interest income increased **$4.0 million, or 14.2%, from $28.3 million for 2021 to $32.3 million for 2022 primarily due to increases in the average balance of interest-earning assets and the interest rate spread, the difference between the average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
Current wording
Net Interest Income. ** Net interest income increased **$1.2 million, or 3.5%, from $34.6 million for 2023 to $35.8 million for 2024 primarily due to increases in the average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets partially offset by increases in the average balance and cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
Previous wording
Total interest income increased** **$4.5 million for 2022 as compared to 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets from $1.02 billion in 2021 to $1.13 billion in 2022. The tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets increased from 2.95% in 2021 to 3.10% in 2022, primarily due to the increase in short-term interest rates by the Federal Open Market Committee during 2022. Interest on loans increased $1.2 million when comparing the two periods due to an increase in the average balance of loans from $498.5 million in 2021 to $530.2 million in 2022. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in PPP loan fees recognized in interest income during 2022. These fees totaled $34,000 during 2022 compared to $2.0 million during 2021. Interest and dividends on investment securities (including FHLB stock) increased $2.4 million for 2022 compared to 2021 due to an increase in the average balance of investment securities from $364.0 million for 2021 to $495.6 million for 2022. Other interest income increased $944,000 for 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to the tax equivalent yield of federal funds sold increasing from 0.13% to 1.24% when comparing the two periods, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of federal funds sold from $149.9 million for 2021 to $92.0 million for 2022.
Current wording
Total interest income increased** **$6.9 million for 2024 as compared to 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets increased from 3.96% in 2023 to 4.49% in 2024. The increase in the yield was primarily due to an increase in the tax-equivalent yield on loans from 5.66% 2023 to 6.05% in 2024. Interest on loans increased $4.9 million when comparing the two periods due to an increase in the average balance of loans from $590.6 million in 2023 to $634.0 million in 2024. In addition, the Company’s lower yielding securities continue to mature with proceeds being reinvested in higher yielding loans or federal funds sold. Interest and dividends on investment securities (including FHLB stock) increased $567,000 for 2024 compared to 2023 due to an increase in the tax-equivalent yield on investment securities from 1.95% in 2023 to 2.25% in 2024, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of investment securities from $506.5 million for 2023 to $455.1 million for 2024. Other interest income increased $1.4 million for 2024 as compared to 2023 primarily due to an increase in the average balance of federal funds sold from $19.5 million in 2023 to $45.6 million in 2024 in addition to, the tax equivalent yield of federal funds sold increasing from 5.07% to 5.17% when comparing the two periods.

Provision for Credit Losses*.Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the FASB ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments– Credit Losses (Topic 326)*, as amended, and commonly referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss model ("CECL"), under the modified retrospective method. The adoption replaced the allowance for loan losses with the ACL on loans on the consolidated balance sheets and replaced the related provision for loan losses with the provision for credit losses on loans on the consolidated statements of income. Upon adoption, the Company recorded an increase in the beginning ACL on loans of $561,000, increasing the ACL on loans as a percentage of loans receivable to 1.29% as compared to 1.20% at December 31, 2022 prior to adoption. In addition, the Company established an ACL related to unfunded loan commitments of $131,000 upon adoption of CECL. The use of the modified retrospective method of adoption resulted in the Company recording a $529,000 reduction (net of tax) in retained earnings as of January 1, 2023.

Net loans receivable increased* *from $558.0 million at December 31, 2022 to $614.4 million at December 31, 2023. Increases in other construction, development and land, 1-4 family residential mortgage and commercial real estate loans of $29.1 million, $17.2 million and $7.4 million were only partially offset by a $908,000 decrease in 1-4 family residential construction loans. The Bank continued to sell the majority of newly originated fixed-rate residential mortgage loans in the secondary market. The Bank originated $31.6 million in residential mortgages for sale in the secondary market during 2023 compared to $49.2 million in 2022. Of the total originations for 2023, $9.8 million paid off existing loans in the Bank’s portfolio, the majority of which were construction loans. Originating mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market allows the Bank to better manage its interest rate risk, while offering a full line of mortgage products to prospective customers.

Securities available for sale, at fair value, consisting primarily of U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, U.S. agency notes and bonds, Treasury notes and bonds and municipal obligations, decreased** **from $460.8 million at December 31, 2022 to $437.3 million at December 31, 2023. Principal repayments of $15.8 million, maturities of $38.0 million and sales of $20.6 million during 2023 were only partially offset by purchases of $37.2 million of securities. There was also an unrealized gain of $15.3 million on the securities available for sale portfolio during 2023 due primarily to stabilizing market rates during the year. The Bank invests excess cash in securities that provide safety, liquidity and yield. Accordingly, we purchase mortgage-backed securities to provide cash flow for loan demand and deposit changes, we purchase U.S Treasury and federal agency notes for short-term yield and low risk, and municipals are purchased to improve our tax equivalent yield focusing on longer term profitability.

Total stockholders’ equity attributable to the Company increased $20.1 million from $85.2 million at December 31, 2022 to $105.2 million at December 31, 2023. This increase is primarily the result of a $11.7 million net unrealized gain on available for sale securities and the $8.6 million increase in retained net income. The net unrealized gain on available for sale securities during 2023 is primarily due to decreases in market interest rates. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had repurchased 124,639 shares of the 240,467 shares authorized by the Board of Directors under the current stock repurchase program which was announced in August 2008 and 453,173 shares since the original repurchase program began in 2001.

Previous wording
Liquidity refers to the ability of a financial institution to generate sufficient cash flow to fund current loan demand, meet deposit withdrawals and pay operating expenses. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from loan repayments, maturing securities and borrowings from the FHLB or FRB. While loan repayments and maturities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. At December 31, 2023, the Bank had cash and cash equivalents of $38.7 million and securities available-for-sale with a fair value of $437.3 million. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB, the FRB’s BTFP through the pledging of additional eligible collateral securities, collateral eligible for repurchase agreements and unsecured federal funds purchased lines of credit with other financial institutions.

Liquidity refers to the ability of a financial institution to generate sufficient cash flow to fund current loan demand, meet deposit withdrawals and pay operating expenses. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from loan repayments, maturing securities and borrowings from the FHLB or FRB. While loan repayments and maturities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. At December 31, 2024, the Bank had cash and cash equivalents of $105.9 million and securities available-for-sale with a fair value of $389.2 million. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB, the FRB’s Discount Window through the pledging of additional eligible collateral securities, collateral eligible for repurchase agreements and unsecured federal funds purchased lines of credit with other financial institutions.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company requires funds to pay any dividends to its shareholders and to repurchase any shares of its common stock. The Company’s primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank and the Captive. The amount of dividends the Bank may declare and pay to the Company in any calendar year, without the receipt of prior approval from the banking regulators, cannot exceed net income for that year to date plus retained net income (as defined) for the preceding two calendar years. At December 31, 2023, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $3.8 million.

Previous wording
At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s simulated exposure to an increase in interest rates shows that an immediate and sustained increase in rates of 1.00%, 2.00% or 3.00% would increase the Company’s net interest income over a one year horizon compared to a flat interest rate scenario. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, an immediate and sustained decrease in rates of 1.00% would also increase the Company’s net interest income over a one year horizon compared to a flat rates scenario. Alternatively, at December 31, 2023, an immediate and sustained decrease in rates of 2.00% would decrease the Company’s net interest income over a one year horizon compared to a flat interest rate scenario compared to an increase in the Company’s net interest income over a one year horizon compared to a flat interest rate scenario at December 31, 2022. Due to increasing market rates during 2022, the Company began modeling an immediate and sustained decrease of 3.00% and at both December 31, 2023 and 2022 the results would be a decrease in the Company’s net interest income over a one year horizon compared to a flat interest rate scenario. During the year ended December 31, 2023, management evaluated and adjusted deposit rate betas in its scenarios to better reflect the increasing rate environment and increased competitive pressure for deposits.
