Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Federal Home Loan Bank Secured Line of Credit

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Bank’s available line of credit with the FHLB to borrow in overnight funds was $2.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively. All borrowings are short-term and the interest rate is equal to the correspondent bank’s daily federal funds purchase rate. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no amounts were outstanding under the line of credit. Loans totaling $3.8 million and $4.0 million were pledged to secure the FHLB line of credit as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Bank pledged additional loans to the FHLB of $46.9 million resulting in an increase to the available line of credit of $30.9 million. No funds had been advanced utilizing the line increase during the period beginning July 1, 2023 through the date of this report.

Lines of Credit

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Bank had the ability to access $10.4 million and $10.6 million from the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window on a collateralized basis. At June 30, 2023, the Bank had the ability to access $0.8 million from the Federal Reserve Bank’s Bank Term Funding Program on a collateralized basis. Through Zions Bank, the Bank had an available unsecured line available of $1.0 million at December 31, 2022. The Bank had an available line of credit with Bankers’ Bank of the West to borrow up to $1.05 million in overnight funds at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Bank had no outstanding balances on such unsecured or secured lines of credit as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

In April 2023, Zions Bank notified the Bank that due to the banking industry disruptions, Zions Bank was limiting its Fed Funds line advances to secured arrangements and would continue to do so for the foreseeable future, thereby eliminating the unsecured line the Bank had previously maintained with Zions Bank. In August 2023, the Bank was notified that Zions Bank was reinstating the unsecured Fed Funds line advance and increasing the Bank's borrowing capacity to $5.0 million.

Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility

On April 20, 2020, the Bank was approved by the Federal Reserve to access its SBA Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”) through the discount window. The PPPLF enables the Company to fund Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans without taking on additional liquidity or funding risks because the Company is able to pledge PPP loans as collateral to secure extensions of credit under the PPPLF on a non-recourse basis. Borrowings under the PPPLF have a fixed-rate of 0.35%, with a term that matches the underlying loans. The Bank pledged $0.3 million of PPP loans as eligible collateral under the PPPLF borrowing arrangement at June 30, 2023. The Bank pledged $0.3 million of PPP loans as eligible collateral under the PPPLF borrowing arrangement at December 31, 2022. The average outstanding borrowings were $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Commitments to Extend Credit

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to extend credit to customers which have not yet been exercised. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of loans. Those instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk were as follows:


	June 30,		December 31,

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments

The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancelable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and is adjusted through a charge to provision for credit loss expense on the consolidated statements of income. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $41.5 thousand as of June 30, 2023.
