Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
General
Auburn National Bancorporation, Inc. (the “Company”) provides a full range
of banking services to individuals
and
commercial customers in Lee County,
Alabama and surrounding areas through its wholly owned subsidiary,
AuburnBank
(the “Bank”). The Company does not have any segments other than banking
that are considered material.
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report have
been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information.
Accordingly, these financial statements
do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete
financial statements.
The unaudited
consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management,
all adjustments necessary to present a fair
statement of the financial position and the results of operations for all periods presented.
All such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature. The results of operations in the interim statements are not
necessarily indicative of the results of
operations that the Company and its subsidiaries may achieve for future interim
periods or the entire year. For
further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in
consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities as of
the balance sheet date 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 in
the near term
include the determination of allowance for credit losses on loans and
investment securities, fair value of financial
instruments, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and other real estate owned
(“OREO”).
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s sources of
income that fall within the scope of ASC 606 include service charges on
deposits, ATM
and
interchange fees and gains and losses on sales of OREO, all of which
are presented as components of noninterest income.
The following is a summary of the revenue streams that fall within the scope
of ASC 606:
Service charges on deposits, investment services, ATM
and interchange fees – Fees from these services are either
(i) transaction-based, for which the performance obligations are satisfied when the
individual transaction is
processed, or (ii) set periodic service charges, for which the performance
obligations are satisfied over the period
the service is provided. Transaction-based
fees are recognized at the time the transaction is processed, and periodic
service charges are recognized over the service period.
Gains on sales of OREO
–
A gain on sale should be recognized when a contract for sale exists and control of the
asset has been transferred to the buyer.
ASC 606 lists several criteria required to conclude that a contract for sale
exists, including a determination that the institution will collect substantially all of the
consideration to which it is
entitled.
In addition to the loan-to-value ratio, where the seller provides the purchaser
with financing, the analysis
is based on various other factors, including the credit quality of the
purchaser, the structure of the loan, and any
other factors that we believe may affect collectability.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated the effects of events and
transactions through the date of this filing that have occurred
subsequent to March 31, 2025.
The Company does not believe there were any material subsequent events during
this
period that would have required further recognition or disclosure in
the unaudited consolidated financial statements
included in this report.
Accounting Developments
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company did not adopt any new accounting
guidance.
NOTE 2: BASIC AND DILUTED NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted
average common shares outstanding for
the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Diluted net earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that
could occur upon exercise of securities or other rights for,
or convertible into, shares of the Company’s
common stock.
At
March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively,
the Company had no such securities or rights issued or outstanding, and therefore,
no dilutive effect to consider for the diluted net earnings per share calculation.
The basic and diluted net earnings per share computations for the respective
periods are presented below

For the securities in the previous table, the Company assesses whether or not
it intends to sell the security, or more
likely
than not will be required to sell the security,
before recovery of its amortized cost basis which would require a write-down
to fair value through net income.
Because the Company currently does not intend to sell those securities that have an
unrealized loss at March 31, 2025, and it is not more-likely-than-not that the
Company will be required to sell the securities
before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity,
the Company has determined that no write-down is
necessary.
In addition, the Company evaluates whether any portion of the decline in fair value of
securities is the result of
credit deterioration, which would require the recognition of an allowance for credit
losses.
Such evaluations consider the
extent to which the amortized cost of the security exceeds its fair value, changes in credit
ratings and any other known
adverse conditions related to the specific security.
The unrealized losses associated with securities at March 31, 2025 are
driven by changes in interest rates and are not due to the credit quality of the securities,
and accordingly, no allowance
for
credit losses is considered necessary related to securities at March 31, 2025.
These securities will continue to be monitored
as a part of the Company’s ongoing
evaluation of credit quality.
Management evaluates the financial performance of the
issuers on a quarterly basis to determine if it is probable that the issuers can make
all contractual principal and interest
payments.
Realized Gains and Losses
The Company had no realized gains or losses on sale of securities during the quarter
ended March 31, 2025 and 2024,
respectively.

Loans secured by real estate were approximately 87.8% of the Company’s
total loan portfolio at March 31, 2025.
At March
31, 2025, the Company’s geographic
loan distribution was concentrated primarily in Lee County,
Alabama, and
surrounding areas.
The loan portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and
documents a systematic method for
determining its allowance for credit losses. As part of the Company’s
quarterly assessment of the allowance, the loan
portfolio included the following portfolio segments: commercial and
industrial, construction and land development,
commercial real estate, residential real estate, and consumer installment. Where appropriate,
the Company’s loan portfolio
segments are further disaggregated into classes. A class is generally determined
based on the initial measurement attribute,
risk characteristics of the loan, and an entity’s
method for monitoring and determining credit risk.
The following describes
the risk characteristics relevant to each of the portfolio segments and classes.
Commercial and industrial (“C&I”) —
includes loans to finance business operations, equipment purchases, or
other needs
for small and medium-sized commercial customers. Also
included in this category are loans to finance agricultural
production.
Generally, the primary source of repayment
is the cash flow from business operations and activities of the
borrower.
Construction and land development (“C&D”) —
includes both loans and credit lines for the purpose of purchasing,
carrying,
and developing land into commercial developments or residential subdivisions.
Also included are loans and credit
lines for construction of residential, multi-family,
and commercial buildings. Generally,
the primary source of repayment is
dependent upon the sale or refinance of the real estate collateral.
(“CRE”) —
includes loans in these classes:
– includes loans secured by business facilities to finance business operations, equipment
and
owner-occupied facilities primarily for small and medium-sized
commercial customers.
Generally, the primary
source of repayment is the cash flow from business operations and activities of
the borrower, who owns the
property.
– includes loans for hotels and motels.
Generally, the primary
source of repayment is dependent upon
income generated from the hotel/motel securing the loan.
The underwriting of these loans takes into consideration
the occupancy and rental rates, as well as the financial health of the borrower.
– primarily includes loans to finance income-producing
multi-family properties. These include loans
for 5 or more unit residential properties and apartments leased to residents.
Generally,
the primary source of
repayment is dependent upon income generated from the real estate collateral.
The underwriting of these loans
takes into consideration the occupancy and rental rates, as well as the financial
health of the respective borrowers.
Other
– primarily includes loans to finance income-producing commercial
properties other than hotels/motels and
multi-family properties, and which
are not owner occupied.
Loans in this class include loans for neighborhood
retail centers,
medical and professional offices, single retail stores, industrial buildings,
and warehouses leased to
local and other businesses. Generally,
the primary source of repayment is dependent upon income generated from
the real estate collateral. The underwriting of these loans takes into consideration
the occupancy and rental rates,
as well as the financial health of the borrower.
Residential real estate (“RRE”) —
includes loans in these two classes:
– primarily includes
first or second lien mortgages and home equity lines of credit to
consumers that are secured by a primary residence or second home. These loans are underwritten
in accordance
with the Bank’s general loan
policies and procedures which require, among other things, proper documentation
of
each borrower’s financial condition, satisfactory credit
history,
and property value.
– primarily includes loans to finance income-producing 1-4 family residential
properties.
Generally,
the primary source of repayment is dependent upon income generated from
leasing the property
securing the loan. The underwriting of these loans takes into consideration
the rental rates and property values, as
well as the financial health of the borrowers.
Consumer installment —
includes loans to individuals,
which may be secured by personal property or are unsecured.
Loans
include personal lines of credit, automobile loans, and other retail loans.
These loans are underwritten in accordance with
the Bank’s general loan policies and
procedures which require, among other things, proper documentation of each
borrower’s financial condition, satisfactory credit history,
and, if applicable, property values.

Credit Quality Indicators
The credit quality of the loan portfolio is summarized no less frequently than
quarterly using categories similar to the
standard asset classification system used by the federal banking agencies.
These categories are utilized to develop the
associated allowance for credit losses using historical losses adjusted for
qualitative and environmental factors and are
defined as follows:
Pass – loans which are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity
of the obligor (or guarantors, if
any) or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral.
Special Mention – loans with potential weakness that may,
if not reversed or corrected, weaken the credit or
inadequately protect the Company’s
position at some future date. These loans are not adversely classified and do
not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant an
adverse classification.
Substandard Accruing – loans that exhibit a well-defined weakness which
presently jeopardizes debt repayment,
even though they are currently performing. These loans are characterized
by the distinct possibility that the
Company may incur a loss in the future if these weaknesses are not corrected.
Nonaccrual – includes loans where management has determined that
full payment of principal and interest is not
expected.
Substandard accrual and nonaccrual loans are often collectively referred
to as “classified.”
The following tables presents credit quality indicators for the loan portfolio
segments and classes by year of origination as
of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective basis for pools of
loans with similar risk characteristics, and for
loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with the collectively evaluated
pools, evaluations are performed on an
individual basis.

NOTE 5: MORTGAGE SERVICING
RIGHTS, NET
Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are recognized based on the fair
value of the servicing rights on the date the
corresponding mortgage loans are sold.
An estimate of the Company’s MSRs is determined
using assumptions that market
participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, including
estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate,
default rates, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing
fee income, ancillary income, and late fees.
The Company has elected to measure its MSRs under the amortization
method.
Under the amortization method, MSRs are
amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing
income.
Increases in market interest rates
generally increase the fair value of MSRs by reducing prepayments and
refinancings and therefore reducing the prepayment
speed.
The Company has recorded MSRs related to loans sold to Fannie Mae.
The Company generally sells conforming, fixed-
rate, closed-end, residential mortgages to Fannie Mae.
MSRs are included in other assets on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.
The Company evaluates MSRs for impairment on a quarterly basis.
Impairment is determined by stratifying MSRs into
groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate and loan
type.
If, by individual stratum, the
carrying amount of the MSRs exceeds fair value, a valuation allowance is established.
The valuation allowance is adjusted
as the fair value changes.
Changes in the valuation allowance are recognized in earnings as a component of mortgage
lending income.
The change in amortized MSRs and the related valuation allowance
for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are

NOTE 6: FAIR VALUE
Hierarchy
“Fair value” is defined by ASC 820,
Measurements and Disclosures
, and focuses on the exit price, i.e., the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
occurring in the principal
market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market)
for an asset or liability at the measurement date.
GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the
highest priority to quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
The fair value hierarchy is as
follows:
Level
1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities
in active
markets.
Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets,
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not
active, or inputs that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly.
Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and reflect
the Company’s own assumptions about
the
inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Level changes in fair value measurements
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy
are generally recognized at the end of each reporting period.
The
Company monitors the valuation techniques utilized for each category
of financial assets and liabilities to ascertain when
transfers between levels have been affected.
The nature of the Company’s financial
assets and liabilities generally is such
that transfers in and out of any level are expected to be infrequent.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there were no
transfers between levels and no changes in valuation techniques for the
Company’s financial assets and liabilities.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis
Fair values of securities available for sale were primarily measured
using Level 2 inputs.
For these securities, the Company
obtains pricing data from third-party pricing services.
These third-party pricing services consider observable data that may
include broker/dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, benchmark yields,
reported trades for similar securities, market
consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the securities’ terms
and conditions.
On a quarterly basis,
management reviews the pricing data received from the third-party pricing
services for reasonableness given current market
conditions.
As part of its review, management may
obtain non-binding third-party broker/dealer quotes to validate the fair
value measurements.
In addition, management will periodically submit pricing information
provided by the third-party
pricing services to another independent valuation firm on a sample basis.
This independent valuation firm will compare the
prices
provided by the third-party pricing service with its own prices
and will review the significant assumptions and
valuation methodologies used with management.
The following table presents the balances of the assets and liabilities measured at fair
value on a recurring basis as of March
31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively,
by caption, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets by ASC 820
valuation hierarchy (as described above).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring
basis
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair values of loans
held for sale are determined using
quoted secondary market prices for similar loans.
Loans held for sale are classified within Level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy.
Collateral dependent loans are measured at the fair value of the collateral securing
the loan less estimated selling costs. The
fair value of real estate collateral is determined based on real estate appraisals which
are generally based on recent sales of
comparable properties which are then adjusted for property specific factors.
Non-real estate collateral is valued based on
various sources, including third party asset valuations and internally determined
values based on cost adjusted for
depreciation and other judgmentally determined discount factors. Collateral dependent
loans are classified within Level 3 of
the hierarchy due to the unobservable inputs used in determining their fair
value such as collateral values and the borrower's
underlying financial condition.
MSRs, net, included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets, are carried at the lower of cost or
estimated fair value.
MSRs do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices.
To determine the fair
value of
MSRs, the Company engages an independent third party.
The independent third party’s valuation
model calculates the
present value of estimated future net servicing income using assumptions that
market participants would use in estimating
future net servicing income, including estimates of mortgage prepayment
speeds, discount rates, default rates, costs to
service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income,
ancillary income, and late fees.
Periodically, the
Company will review broker surveys and other market research
to validate significant assumptions used in the model.
The
significant unobservable inputs include mortgage prepayment speeds
or the constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) and the
weighted average discount rate.
Because the valuation of MSRs requires the use of significant unobservable inputs,
all of
the Company’s MSRs are classified within
Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
The following table presents the balances of the assets and liabilities measured at fair
value on a nonrecurring basis as of
March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively,

of Financial Instruments
ASC 825,
Financial Instruments
, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments,
whether or not
recognized on the face of the balance sheet, where it is practicable to
estimate that value. The assumptions used in the
estimation of the fair value of the Company’s
financial instruments are explained below.
Where quoted market prices are
not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flow
analyses. Discounted cash flows can be
significantly affected by the assumptions used, including
the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. The
following fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to
independent markets and should not be considered
representative of the liquidation value of the Company’s
financial instruments, but rather are good-faith estimates of the fair
value of financial instruments held by the Company.
ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial
instruments from its disclosure requirements.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
the fair value of its financial instruments:
Fair values for loans were calculated using discounted cash flows. The discount
rates reflected current rates at which similar
loans would be made for the same remaining maturities. Expected
future cash flows were projected based on contractual
cash flows, adjusted for estimated prepayments.
The fair value of loans was measured using an exit price notion.
Fair values of loans held for sale are determined using quoted secondary
market prices for similar loans.
Fair values for time deposits were estimated using discounted cash
flows.
The discount rates were based on rates currently
offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.
The carrying value, related estimated fair value,
and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s
financial
instruments at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are presented below.
This table excludes financial instruments for
which the carrying amount approximates fair value.
Financial assets for which fair value approximates carrying value
included cash and cash equivalents.
Financial liabilities for which fair value approximates carrying value included
noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, and
savings deposits.
Fair value approximates
carrying value in these financial liabilities due to these products having
no stated maturity.
Additionally, financial
liabilities for which fair value approximates carrying value included overnight
borrowings such as federal funds purchased
and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
