Current report
The Company's loan portfolio is a mix of consumer and commercial credits. Overall credit exposure and portfolio compensation is managed via a credit concentration policy. The policy designates specific loan types, collateral types and loan structures to be formally tracked and assigned maximum exposure limits as a percentage of capital. Commercial lending by asset class, specific limits for Commercial Real Estate ("CRE") project types, loans secured by residential real estate, large dollar exposures and designated high risk loan categories represent examples of specifically tracked components of our concentration management process. There are no identified concentrations that exceed the assigned exposure limits. Our concentration management policy is approved by the Company's Board of Directors and is used to ensure a high-quality, well diversified portfolio that is consistent with our overall objective of maintaining an acceptable level of risk.

Previous report
Allowance for Loan Losses. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company calculated the allowance for loan losses ("allowance"), using an incurred loan loss methodology. The following policy related to the allowance in prior periods.
Previous report
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due for principal and interest according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. Generally, management considers all substandard, doubtful, and loss-rated loans, nonaccrual loans, and TDRs for impairment. 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. The maximum period without payment that typically can occur before a loan is considered for impairment is 90 days. Impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at a loan’s effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, the observable market price, or, if the loan is collateral dependent, the fair value of the underlying collateral. When the measurement of an impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded in a specific valuation allowance. This specific valuation allowance is periodically adjusted for significant changes in the amount or timing of expected future cash flows, observable market price or fair value of the collateral. The specific valuation allowance, or allowance for impaired loans, is part of the total allowance for loan losses. Cash payments received on impaired loans that are considered nonaccrual are recorded as a direct reduction of the recorded investment in the loan. When the recorded investment has been fully collected, receipts are recorded as recoveries to the allowance for loan losses until the previously charged-off principal is fully recovered. Subsequent amounts collected are recognized as interest income. If no charge-off exists, then once the recorded investment has been fully collected, any future amounts collected would be recognized as interest income. Impaired loans are not returned to accrual status until all amounts due, both principal and interest, are current and a sustained payment history has been demonstrated.
Previous report
The general allowance component covers pools of homogeneous loans by loan class. Management determines historical loss experience for each segment of loans using the five-year rolling average of the net charge-off data within each segment. Qualitative and environmental factors are also considered that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the Bank’s existing portfolio to differ from historical loss experience, and include levels and trends in delinquency and impaired loans; levels and trends in net charge-offs, trends in volume and terms of loans; change in underwriting, policies, procedures, practices and key personnel; national and local economic trends; industry conditions, and effects of changes in high-risk credit circumstances. The qualitative and environmental factors are reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure they are reflective of current conditions in the portfolio and economy. An unallocated component, which is a part of the general allowance component, is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect the Company’s estimate of probable losses.
Previous report
Our allowance is sensitive to a number of inputs, most notably the qualitative factors and historical loss experience by loan segment. Given the dynamic relationship between the inputs, it is difficult to estimate the impact of a change in any one individual variable on the allowance. Although management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowance, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary and results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral value cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance is adequate or that increases will not be necessary should the quality of assets deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed previously. Any increase in the allowance may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Changes in factors underlying the assessment could have a material impact on the amount of the allowance that is necessary and the amount of provision to be charged against earnings.

The uniform amount is the contribution to the assessment rate that is constant across FDIC insured institutions and is adjusted by the FDIC.
Previous report
The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of nonperforming assets as of December 31, 2022, prior to adoption of ASU 2016-13.

Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL). On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss methodology. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using a modified retrospective approach. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under Topic 326, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The adoption resulted in a decrease of $3.4 million to the Company’s ACL related to loans receivable (ACL - Loans) and an increase of $718,000 in ACL for unfunded commitments (ACL - Unfunded Commitments). The net impact resulted in a $2.1 million increase to retained earnings, net of deferred taxes.

This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company attempts to maximize observable inputs and limit the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, Fair value measurements for assets where there exists limited or no observable market data and that are based primarily upon the Company’s or other third-party’s estimates, are often calculated based on the characteristics of the asset, the economic and competitive environment and other such factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique where changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future valuations.

The increase in interest-bearing demand deposits was primarily the result of higher interest rates attracting more customers and additional deposits from existing customers while higher time deposits resulted from the offering of a higher-rate certificate of deposit product and the addition of $29.0 million of brokered certificates of deposit. The brokered certificates of deposits all mature within three months and were utilized to fund the purchase of floating rate collateralized loan obligation securities. FDIC insured deposits totaled approximately 59.4% of total deposits while an additional 16.0% of deposits were collateralized with investment securities.

The allowance for loan losses (“allowance”) is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance based on potential losses in the current loan portfolio, which includes an assessment of economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, loan loss experience, volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans as well as other loan modifications, quality of the Company’s loan review system, the degree of oversight by the Company’s Board, existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations, effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, and other relevant factors. While management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making evaluations. Additions are made to the allowance through periodic provisions charged to income and recovery of principal and interest on loans previously charged-off. Losses of principal are charged directly to the allowance when a loss occurs or when a determination is made that the specific loss is probable. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.
