15. Fair value of financial instruments:

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to construct the summary table below containing the fair values and related carrying amounts of financial instruments measured at fair value:

 Investment securities: The fair values of marketable equity securities are based on quoted market prices from active exchange markets. The fair values of debt securities are based on pricing from a matrix pricing model and quoted market prices.

At December 31, 2024, the Company owned 35 corporate debt securities with an aggregate amortized cost and fair value of $31.4 million and $31.6 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024, the market for three corporate debt securities was not active based on transaction criteria for similar instruments. Both the aggregate amortized cost and fair value for these three securities was $4.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2024.  The Company obtained valuations for these securities from a third-party service provider that prepared the valuations using a market approach that involves identifying a population of transactions for similar instruments and incorporating an evaluation to capture credit risk associated with these bonds. Management takes measures to validate the service providers’ analysis and is actively involved in the valuation process, including reviewing the population and evaluation of credit risk. Management believes this approach to be a conservative approach as it takes into consideration securities that have longer maturities or longer call dates, issuers with smaller asset sizes, and securities with smaller issue amounts. These factors are typically considered to be factors that would add credit spread to a bond, thus resulting in a higher required yield. Management believes the valuation results from this market approach to be consistent with pricing and data for similar deals at December 31, 2024. The Company considers the inputs used in the market approach to be unobservable Level 3 inputs because, while inputs are based on actual transactions, the relative number of transactions in the population is small and subjective assumptions are used in considering factors considered to incorporate credit spreads into the price determination. Management will continue to monitor the market for these securities to assess the market activity and the availability of observable inputs and will continue to apply these controls and procedures to the valuations received from People's third-party service provider. During the year ended December 31, 2024 there were no transfers into Level 3 other than those Level 3 assets acquired in the FNCB merger. During the year ended December 31, 2023 there were no transfers in or out of Level 3.

Individually evaluated loans: Fair values for individually evaluated loans are estimated using underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Interest rate swaps and floors:  Values of these instruments are obtained through an independent pricing source utilizing information which may include market observed quotations for swaps, market index rates, forward rates and rate volatility. Derivative contracts create exposure to interest rate movements as well as risks from the potential of non-performance of the counterparty.

Other real estate owned:  Other real estate owned ("OREO") represents properties that the Company has acquired through foreclosure by either accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by taking possession of assets that collateralized a loan, and former bank premises that are no longer used for operations or for future expansion. The Company reports OREO at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell, adjusted periodically based on a current appraisal. Write-downs and any gain or loss upon the sale of OREO is recorded in other noninterest income. OREO is reported in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2024 OREO had a carrying amount of $748 thousand; there were no OREO at December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, one residential real estate property with a carrying value of $27 thousand and one former community banking office with a carrying value of $711 thousand were transferred to OREO.  Other real estate owned is classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy based on appraisals, letters of intent or agreement of sale received from third parties.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2024 and 2023 are summarized as follows:

Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable.

Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.
