Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments – The Company 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. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The following table provides a summary of the Company’s commitments at the dates indicated:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the amount of the total commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon an extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the party. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing commercial properties. Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines, and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit usually do not contain a specified maturity date and ultimately may not be drawn on to the total extent to which the Company is committed. The Company’s ACL – unfunded loan commitments at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $2.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses – unfunded loan commitments of $457,000 and $675,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to a recovery for credit losses – unfunded loan commitments of $78,000 and $24,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The increase in provision for the 2025 periods was primarily attributable to an $85.7 million increase in commercial and speculative construction and development loan commitments. A portion of the one-to-four-family commitments included in the table above are accounted for as fair value derivatives and do not carry an associated reserve. The Company's derivative positions are presented with the discussion in “Note 5 – Derivatives.” The Company also sells one-to-four-family loans to the FHLB of Des Moines that require a limited level of recourse if the loans default and exceed a certain loss exposure. Specific to that recourse, the FHLB of Des Moines established a first loss account (“FLA”) related to the loans and required a credit enhancement (“CE”) obligation by the Bank to be utilized after the FLA is used. Based on loans sold through September 30, 2025, total loans serviced on behalf of the FHLB of Des Moines were $8.4 million with the FLA totaling $581,000 and the CE obligation at $389,000 or 4.6% of the loans outstanding. Management has established a holdback of 10% of the outstanding CE, or $39,000, which is a part of the off-balance sheet holdback for loans sold. At both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no loans sold and serviced on behalf of the FHLB of Des Moines that were greater than 90 days past their contractual payment due date. Contingent liabilities for loans held for sale – In the ordinary course of business, loans are sold with limited recourse against the Company and may have to subsequently be repurchased due to defects that occurred during the origination of the loan. The defects are categorized as documentation errors, underwriting errors, early payoff, early payment defaults, breach of representation or warranty, servicing errors, and/or fraud. When a loan sold to an investor without recourse fails to perform according to its contractual terms, the investor will typically review the loan file to determine whether defects in the origination process occurred. If a defect is identified, the Company may be required to either repurchase the loan or indemnify the investor for losses sustained. If there are no such defects, the Company has no commitment to repurchase the loan. The Company has recorded a holdback reserve of $1.8 million and $2.0 million to cover loss exposure related to these guarantees for one-to-four-family loans sold into the secondary market at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which is included in “Other liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has entered into a severance agreement with its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The severance agreement, subject to certain requirements, generally includes a lump sum payment to the CEO equal to 24 months of base compensation in the event his employment is involuntarily terminated, other than for cause or the executive terminates his employment with good reason, as defined in the severance agreement. The Company has entered into change of control agreements with its executives and select key personnel. The change of control agreements, subject to certain requirements, generally remain in effect until canceled by either party upon at least 24 months prior written notice. Under the change of control agreements, the executive generally will be entitled to a change of control payment from the Company if the executive is involuntarily terminated within six months preceding or 12 months after a change in control (as defined in the change of control agreements). In such an event, the executives would each be entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to 12 months of their then current salary, subject to certain requirements in the change of control agreements. As a result of the nature of our activities, the Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal actions, which arise in the ordinary course of business. From time to time, subordination liens may create litigation which requires us to defend our lien rights. In the opinion of management, liabilities arising from these claims, if any, will not have a material effect on our financial position. The Company had no material pending legal actions at September 30, 2025.
