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 counties 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, 2021.
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 other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities,
the determination of the allowance for loan losses, fair
value of financial instruments, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and other real
estate owned (“OREO”).
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company implemented Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”
or “updates”) 2014-09,
Revenue
from Contracts with Customers
, codified at
Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”)
606. The Company adopted ASC
606 using the modified retrospective transition method.
The majority of the Company’s revenue stream
is generated from
interest income on loans and securities which are outside the scope of ASC 606.
The Company’s sources of income that
fall within the scope of ASC 606 include service charges on deposits, investment
services, interchange fees and gains and losses on sales of other real estate, 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
transaction-based, for which the performance obligations are satisfied
when the individual transaction is processed,
or 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, the analysis is based on various other factors
,
including the credit
quality of the borrower, 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 June 30, 2022. 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.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current
-period presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s
previously reported net earnings or total stockholders’ equity.
Accounting Developments
In the first six months of 2022, 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 respective period.
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 June 30, 2022 and 2021,
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

NOTE 3: VARIABLE
INTEREST ENTITIES
Generally, a variable interest entity (“VIE”)
is a corporation, partnership, trust or other legal structure that does not have
equity investors with substantive or proportional voting rights or has equity investors
that do not provide sufficient financial
resources for the entity to support its activities.
At June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any consolidated VIEs to disclose but did
have one nonconsolidated VIE,
discussed below.

New Markets Tax
Credit Investment
The New Markets Tax Credit
(“NMTC”) program provides federal tax incentives to investors to make investments in
distressed communities and promotes economic improvement through the development
of successful businesses in these
communities.
The NMTC is available to investors over seven years and is subject to recapture if certain events occur
during such period.
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively,
the Company had one such investment in the
amounts of $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively,
which was included in other assets in the consolidated balance
sheets.
The Company’s equity investment
meets the definition of a VIE. While the Company’s
investment exceeds 50% of
the outstanding equity interests, the Company does not consolidate the VIE because
it does not meet the characteristics of a
primary beneficiary since the Company lacks the power to direct the activities of
the VIE.

For the securities in the previous table, the Company does not have the intent to sell and has determined it is
not more likely
than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery
of the amortized cost basis, which may be
maturity.
On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses each security for credit impairment.
For debt securities, the Company
evaluates, where necessary,
whether credit impairment exists by comparing the present value of the expected
cash flows to
the securities’ amortized cost basis.
In determining whether a loss is temporary,
the Company considers all relevant information including:
●
the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized
cost basis;
●
adverse conditions specifically related to the security,
an industry, or a geographic area
(for example, changes in
the financial condition of the issuer of the security,
or in the case of an asset-backed debt security,
in the financial
condition of the underlying loan obligors, including changes in technology or the discontinuance
of a segment of
the business that may affect the future earnings potential of the issuer or
underlying loan obligors of the security or
changes in the quality of the credit enhancement);
●
the historical and implied volatility of the security’s
fair value;
●
the payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to
make payments that
increase in the future;
●
failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments;
●
any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; and
●
recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.
Agency obligations
The unrealized losses associated with agency obligations were primarily driven by
increases in market interest rates and not
due to the credit quality of the securities. These securities were issued by U.S. government
agencies or government-
sponsored entities and did not have any credit losses given the explicit government guarantee
or other government support.
Table of Contents
12
Agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”)
The unrealized losses associated with agency MBS were primarily driven by increases
in market interest rates and not due
to the credit quality of the securities. These securities were issued by U.S. government agencies
or government-sponsored
entities and did not have any credit losses given the explicit government guarantee
or other government support.
Securities of U.S. states and political subdivisions
The unrealized losses associated with securities of U.S. states and political subdivisions
were primarily driven by increases
in market interest rates and were not due to the credit quality of the securities. Some of these
securities are guaranteed by a
bond insurer, but management did not rely on
such guarantees in making its investment decision.
These securities will
continue to be monitored as part of the Company’s
quarterly impairment analysis, but are expected to perform even if the
rating agencies reduce the credit rating of the bond insurers. As a result, the Company expects to
recover the entire
amortized cost basis of these securities.
The carrying values of the Company’s investment
securities could decline in the future if market interest rates continue to
increase.
If the financial condition of an issuer (other than the U.S. government or
its agencies) deteriorates and the
Company determines it is probable that it will not recover the entire amortized
cost basis for the security,
there is a risk that
other-than-temporary impairment charges
may occur in the future.
The Company will evaluate whether any loss is
temporary or not.
Other-Than-Temporarily
Impaired Securities
Credit-impaired debt securities are debt securities where the Company
has written down the amortized cost basis of a
security for other-than-temporary impairment and the credit
component of the loss is recognized in earnings. At June 30,
2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no credit-impaired debt securities and there
were no additions or
reductions in the credit loss component of credit-impaired debt securities during
the quarters and six months ended June 30,
2022 and 2021, respectively.
Realized Gains and Losses
The Company had no realized gains and losses on sale of securities during the quarters and
six months ended June 30, 2022
and 2021, respectively.

Loans secured by real estate were approximately
82.5%
of the Company’s total loan portfolio
at June 30, 2022.
At June 30,
2022, the Company’s geographic loan
distribution was concentrated primarily in Lee County,
Alabama, and surrounding
areas.
In accordance with ASC 310, a portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity
develops and documents a
systematic method for determining its allowance for loan 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.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had
14
PPP loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $
0.6
million included in this category, compared
to
138
PPP loans with an aggregate principal balance of $
8.1
million at
December 31, 2021.
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.
Commercial real estate
(“CRE”) —
includes loans disaggregated into four classes: (1) owner occupied, (2)
hotel/motel,
(3) multifamily and (4) other.
●
Owner occupied
– 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.
●
Hotel/motel
– includes loans for hotels and motels.
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.
●
Multi-family
– primarily includes loans to finance income-producing multi-family properties
.
Loans in this class
include loans for 5 or more unit residential property 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 borrower.
●
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 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 disaggregated into two classes: (1) consumer mortgage and (2)
investment property.
●
Consumer mortgage
– 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.
Table of Contents
14
●
Investment property
– 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 value, as
well as the financial health of the borrower.
Consumer installment —
includes loans to individuals both secured by personal property and 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 value.
The following is a summary of current, accruing past due, and nonaccrual loans by portfolio

Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company assesses the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses prior
to the end of each calendar quarter. The level of
the allowance is based upon management’s
evaluation of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, current asset quality
trends, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect
a borrower’s ability to repay (including
the timing of future payment), the estimated value of any underlying collateral,
composition of the loan portfolio, economic
conditions, industry and peer bank loan loss rates, and other pertinent factors, including regulatory
recommendations. This
evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including the
amounts and timing of future cash flows
expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. Loans are
charged off, in whole or
in part, when management believes that the full collectability of the loan is unlikely.
A loan may be partially charged-off
after a “confirming event” has occurred, which serves to validate that full repayment pursuant
to the terms of the loan is
unlikely.
The Company deems loans impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable that the Company will
be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
Collection of all amounts due
according to the contractual terms means that both the interest and principal payments of a
loan will be collected as
scheduled in the loan agreement.
An impairment allowance is recognized if the fair value of the loan is less than the recorded
investment in the loan. The
impairment is recognized through the allowance. Loans that are impaired are
recorded at the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective
interest rate, or if the loan is collateral dependent, the impairment
measurement is based on the fair value of the collateral, less estimated disposal costs.
The level of allowance maintained is believed by management to be adequate
to absorb probable losses inherent in the
portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged
to expense and decreased by charge-
offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously charged-off.
In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, the Company also considers the results of its
ongoing internal and independent
loan review processes. The Company’s
loan review process assists in determining whether there are loans in the portfolio
whose credit quality has weakened over time and evaluating the risk characteristics of the
entire loan portfolio. The
Company’s loan review process includes the judgment
of management, the input from our independent loan reviewers, and
reviews conducted by bank regulatory agencies as part of their examination process. The
Company incorporates loan
review results in the determination of whether or not it is probable
that it will be able to collect all amounts due according
to the contractual terms of a loan.
As part of the Company’s quarterly assessment
of the allowance, management evaluates the loan portfolio’s
five segments:
commercial and industrial, construction and land development, commercial real estate, residential
real estate, and consumer
installment. The Company analyzes each segment and estimates an allowance allocation
for each loan segment.
The allocation of the allowance for loan losses begins with a process of estimating the
probable losses inherent for each
loan segment. The estimates for these loans are established by category and based
on the Company’s internal system of
credit risk ratings and historical loss data.
The estimated loan loss allocation rate for the Company’s
internal system of
credit risk grades is based on its experience with similarly graded
loans. For loan segments where the Company believes it
does not have sufficient historical loss data, the Company may
make adjustments based, in part, on loss rates of peer bank
groups.
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and for the periods then ended, the Company adjusted
its historical loss
rates for the commercial real estate portfolio segment based, in part, on loss rates of peer bank
groups.
The estimated loan loss allocation for all five loan portfolio segments is then adjusted for management’s
estimate of
probable losses for several “qualitative and environmental” factors. The
allocation for qualitative and environmental factors
is particularly subjective and does not lend itself to exact mathematical calculation. This amount
represents estimated
probable inherent credit losses which exist, but have not yet been identified,
as of the balance sheet date, and are based
upon quarterly trend assessments in delinquent and nonaccrual loans, credit concentration
changes, prevailing economic
conditions, changes in lending personnel experience, changes in lending policies or
procedures, and other factors. These
qualitative and environmental factors are considered for each of the five loan segments
and the allowance allocation, as
determined by the processes noted above, is increased or decreased based on the incremental
assessment of these factors.
Table of Contents
16
The Company regularly re-evaluates its practices in determining the allowance
for loan losses. The Company’s look-back
period each quarter incorporates the effects of at least one economic
downturn in its loss history.
The Company believes
this look-back period is appropriate due to the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Absent this look-back period,
the early
cycle periods in which the Company experienced significant losses would be excluded
from the determination of the
allowance for loan losses and its balance would decrease.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company increased its
look-back period to 53 quarters to continue to include losses incurred by the Company beginning
with the first quarter of
2009.
The Company will likely continue to increase its look-back period to incorporate
the effects of at least one economic
downturn in its loss history.
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company adjusted certain qualitative and
economic
factors, previously downgraded as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, to reflect improvements in
economic conditions in
our primary market area.
Further adjustments may be made from time to time in the future as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic and other changes in economic conditions.
The following table details the changes in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment
for the respective periods.

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.
The following table presents credit quality
indicators for the loan portfolio segments and classes. These categories are utilized to develop
the associated allowance for
loan 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.

Troubled Debt
Restructurings
Impaired loans also include troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”).
Section 4013 of the CARES Act, “Temporary
Relief
From Troubled Debt Restructurings,” provided
banks the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under ASC
340-10 TDR classifications for a limited period of time to account for the effects
of COVID-19. In addition, the Interagency
Statement on COVID-19 Loan Modifications, encouraged
banks to work prudently with borrowers and describes the
agencies’ interpretation of how accounting rules under ASC 310-40,
“Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” apply to
certain COVID-19-related modifications. The Interagency Statement on
COVID-19 Loan Modifications was supplemented
on June 23, 2020 by the Interagency Examiner Guidance for Assessing Safety and
Soundness Considering the Effect of the
COVID-19 Pandemic on Institutions.
If a loan modification was
eligible, a bank could elect to account for the loan under
section 4013 of the CARES Act. If a loan modification was
not eligible under section 4013, or if the bank elected not to
account for the loan modification under section 4013, the Revised Statement include
d
criteria when a bank may presume a
loan modification is not a TDR in accordance with ASC 310-40.
The Company evaluates loan extensions or modifications not qualified under
Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under the
Interagency Statement and related regulatory guidance on COVID-19 Loan Modifications
in accordance with FASB
ASC
340-10 with respect to the classification of the loan as a TDR.
In the normal course of business, management may grant
concessions to borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty.
A concession may include, but is not limited to, delays
in required payments of principal and interest for a specified period, reduction
of the stated interest rate of the loan,
reduction of accrued interest, extension of the maturity date, or reduction
of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt.
A concession has been granted when, as a result of the restructuring, the Bank does not expect
to collect, when due, all
amounts owed, including interest at the original stated rate.
A concession may have also been granted if the debtor is not
able to access funds elsewhere at a market rate for debt with risk characteristics
similar to the restructured debt.
In making
the determination of whether a loan modification is a TDR, the Company considers the
individual facts and circumstances
surrounding each modification.
As part of the credit approval process, the restructured loans are evaluated for adequate
collateral protection in determining the appropriate accrual status at the time of restructure.
Table of Contents
21
Similar to other impaired loans, TDRs are measured for impairment based on the present value of expected
payments using
the loan’s original effective
interest rate as the discount rate, or the fair value of the collateral, less selling costs if
the loan is
collateral dependent. If the recorded investment in the loan exceeds the measure of
fair value, impairment is recognized by
establishing a valuation allowance as part of the allowance for loan losses or a charge
-off to the allowance for loan losses.
In periods subsequent to the modification, all TDRs are evaluated individually,
including those that have payment defaults,
for possible impairment.
The following is a summary of accruing and nonaccrual TDRs, which are included in the impaired
loan totals, and the
related allowance for loan losses, by portfolio segment and class as of June 30, 2022
and December 31, 2021, respectively.

At June 30, 2022 there were no significant outstanding commitments to advance additional
funds to customers whose loans
had been restructured.
There were no loans modified in a TDR during the quarters and six months ended
June 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively.
For the same periods, the Company had no loans modified in a TDR within the
previous 12 months for which
there was a payment default.
NOTE 6: 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 fair value 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 rates, default rates, costs to service, escrow account earnings,
contractual servicing fee
income, ancillary income, and late fees.
Subsequent to the date of transfer, 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.
The Company has recorded MSRs related to loans sold without recourse 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.

NOTE 7: FAIR VALUE
Fair Value
Hierarchy
“Fair value” is defined by ASC 820,
Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures
, as 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 six months
ended June 30, 2022, there were no
transfers between levels and no changes in valuation techniques for the Company’s
financial assets and liabilities.
Table of Contents
23
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis
Securities available-for-sale
Fair values of securities available for sale were primarily measured using
Level 2 inputs.
For these securities, the Company
obtains pricing 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 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 quotes to validate the fair value
measurements.
In addition, management will periodically submit pricing provided by the
third party pricing services to
another independent valuation firm on a sample basis.
This independent valuation firm will compare the price provided
by
the third party pricing service with its own price 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 June
30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively,

valuation hierarchy (as described above).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring
basis
Loans held for sale
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 market secondary market prices for similar loans.
Loans held for sale are classified within Level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy.
Impaired Loans
Loans considered impaired under ASC 310-10-35,
Receivables
, are loans for which, based on current information and
events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest
payments due in accordance with
the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans can be measured based
on the present value of expected
payments using the loan’s original effective
rate as the discount rate, the loan’s observable
market price, or the fair value of
the collateral less selling costs if the loan is collateral dependent.
Table of Contents
24
The fair value of impaired loans was primarily measured based on the value of the collateral
securing these loans. Impaired
loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including
equipment, inventory, and/or
accounts receivable. The Company determines the value of the collateral based
on
independent appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers. These
appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach
or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Appraised
values are discounted for
costs to sell and may be discounted further based on management’s
historical knowledge, changes in market conditions
from the date of the most recent appraisal, and/or management’s
expertise and knowledge of the customer and the
customer’s business. Such discounts by management are subjective
and are typically significant unobservable inputs for
determining fair value. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis
for additional impairment
and adjusted accordingly, based
on the same factors discussed above.
Other real estate owned
Other real estate
owned, consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction
of loans, are initially
recorded at the lower of the loan’s carrying amount
or the fair value less costs to sell upon transfer of the loans to other real
estate.
Subsequently, other real
estate is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Fair values are
generally based on third party appraisals of the property and are classified
within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The
appraisals are sometimes further discounted based on management’s
historical knowledge, and/or changes in market
conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal, and/or management’s
expertise and knowledge of the customer and
the customer’s business. Such discounts are typically significant
unobservable inputs for determining fair value. In cases
where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, a loss is recognized
in noninterest expense.
Mortgage servicing rights, net
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 prepayment speeds, discount
rates, default rates, cost 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 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.

Fair Value
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, for which 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 a good-faith estimate 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.
Table of Contents
26
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair
value of its financial instruments:
Loans, net
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.
Loans held for sale
Fair values of loans held for sale are determined using quoted secondary market
prices for similar loans.
Time Deposits
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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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.

Financial Summary
The Company’s net earnings were $3.9
million for the first six months of 2022, compared to $4.3 million for the first six
months of 2021.
Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.10 per share for the first six months of 2022,
compared to
$1.21 per share for the first six months of 2021.
Net interest income (tax-equivalent) was $12.7 million for the first six
months of 2022, a 4% increase compared to $12.2
million for the first six months of 2021.
This increase was primarily due to balance sheet growth, partially offset by a
decrease in the Company’s net
interest margin (tax-equivalent).
Net interest margin (tax-equivalent) declined to 2.51%
in
the first six months of 2022, compared to 2.63% for the first six months of 2021
due to the continued lower interest rate
environment through most of the first quarter followed by increases in the Federal Reserve’s
target federal funds rates
beginning March 16, 2022, and changes in our asset mix resulting from the continuing
elevated levels of customer deposits.
Net interest income (tax-equivalent) included $0.3 million in PPP loan fees, net of related costs for
the first six months of
2022, compared to $0.4 million for the first six months of 2021.
At June 30, 2022, the Company’s allowance
for loan losses was $4.7 million, or 1.07% of total loans, compared to $4.9
million, or 1.08% of total loans, at December 31, 2021, and $5.7
million, or 1.12% of total loans, at June 30, 2021.
The Company recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $0.3
million and $0.6 million during the first six months of
2022 and 2021, respectively.
The negative provision for loan losses during 2022 was primarily related to
a decrease in total
loans, excluding PPP,
during the first six months of 2022.
The negative provision for loan losses during 2021 was
primarily related to improvements in economic conditions in our primary market
area, and related improvements in our
asset quality.
The provision for loan losses is based upon various estimates and judgments,
including the absolute level of
loans, economic conditions, credit quality and the amount of net charge
-offs.
Noninterest income was $1.8 million for the first six months of 2022
compared to $2.3 million for the first six months of
2021.
The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to a decrease
in mortgage lending income of $0.5
million as
refinance activity slowed in our primary market area, as market interest rates
on mortgage loans increased.
Noninterest expense was $10.0 million for the first six months of 2022 compared
to $9.6 million for the first six months of
2021.
The increase in noninterest expense was due to increases in salaries and benefits expense
of $0.2 million and net
occupancy and equipment expense of $0.3 million related to the Company’s
new headquarters,
partially offset
by a
decrease in professional fees of $0.1 million.

Income tax expense was $0.6 million for the first six months of 2022
compared to $0.9
million during the first six months
of 2021.
The Company’s effective tax
rate for the first six months of 2022 was 13.71%, compared to 17.76% in the first six
months of 2021.
The decrease was primarily due to an income tax benefit related to a New Markets Tax
Credit investment
funded in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The Company’s effective income
tax rate is principally impacted by tax-exempt
earnings from the Company’s
investments in municipal securities, bank-owned life insurance, and New Markets
Tax
Credits.
The Company paid cash dividends of $0.53 per share in the first six months of 2022,
an increase of 2% from the same
period of 2021.
The Company’s share repurchases of $0.
3
million since December 31, 2021 resulted in 10,640 fewer
outstanding common shares at June 30, 2022.
At June 30, 2022, the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios
were well above the
minimum amounts required to be “well capitalized” under current regulatory
standards with a total risk-based capital ratio
of 17.38%, a tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.16 % and a common equity tier 1 (“CET1”)
ratio of 16.59 % at June 30, 2022.
For the second quarter of 2022, net earnings were $1.8 million, or $0.51
per share, compared to $2.3 million, or $0.65 per
share, for the second quarter of 2021.
Net interest income (tax-equivalent) was $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2022,
a 6% increase compared to $6.1
million for the second quarter of 2021.
This increase was primarily due to balance sheet
growth, and recent increases in market interest rates.
The Federal Reserve increased the target federal funds range by 25
basis points on March 27, 2022, 50 basis points on May 5 and 75 basis points on each of June
16 and July 27.
Further
increases in the target federal funds rate are possible if inflation remains elevated.
The Company’s net interest
margin (tax-
equivalent) was 2.60% in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021. Net interest income
(tax-equivalent) included $0.1
million
in PPP loan fees, net of related costs for the second quarter of 2022 and
$0.2 million in the second quarter of 2021.
The
Company had no provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2022
compared to a negative provision for loan
losses of $0.6 million during the second quarter 2021.
Noninterest income was $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2022,
compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2021.
The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to a
decrease in mortgage lending income of $0.2
million as refinance activity slowed in our primary market area, as market
interest rates on mortgage loans increased.
Noninterest expense was $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2022,
compared
to $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2021.
The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to an increase in net
occupancy and equipment expense of $0.3 million related to the Company’s
new headquarters, which opened in June 2022.
Income tax expense was $0.4
million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $0.5 million for the second quarter
of
2021.
The Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022
was 16.77%, compared to 18.06% in the second
quarter of 2021.
This decrease was primarily due to an income tax benefit related to a New Markets Tax
Credit investment
funded in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The Company’s effective
income tax rate is principally impacted by tax-exempt
earnings from the Company’s
investment in municipal securities, bank-owned life insurance,
and New Markets Tax
Credits.
Other Events
We entered into a contract
on February 15, 2022 to sell approximately 0.85 acres of land to a third party,
where our former
headquarters building was located. The land, which is adjacent to our new
headquarters, has been cleared and site
improvements, which are a condition to the buyer’s obligation to
close its purchase, are being made.
The sale includes all
appurtenances, privileges, development and rights for an aggregate purchase
price of $4.26 million, net of estimated
prorations and closing costs. The principal owner of the purchaser and
his related interests are Bank customers and are
among the Bank’s largest borrowers.
All such loans and deposits are in the ordinary course of the Bank’s
business upon
market terms and conditions not more favorable than similarly situated customers. The
Bank entered into the agreement on
an arms-length basis in consultation with the Bank’s
real estate developer, and the agreement is on
market terms and
conditions.
The agreement contains various other terms, representations, warranties, covenants
and closing conditions that are
customary for transactions similar to the sale. The purchaser has a 180 day inspection period
ending on August 14, 2022
subject to up to 3 possible extensions, to complete all its due diligence, inspections and reviews,
and receive its necessary
approvals. The closing is subject to the completion of such matters satisfactory to the
purchaser, the satisfaction of the
agreement’s other terms, including customary
closing conditions, and the negotiation and execution of various use and
other ancillary agreements and may be extended. The purchaser’s obligations
to close are not contingent upon the purchaser
obtaining financing. The sale of the property is expected to close 30 days following the
later of (a) the expiration of the
inspection period and (b) the satisfaction of all the closing conditions. Upon closing, the
Company currently expects the
sale to be accretive to earnings by approximately $0.70 per share.
Currently, the Bank expects the transaction
to close later
this year.

We also intend to file a request
with the IRS for an employee retention credit of $1.6 million, or approximately $1.2
million
net of estimated income tax effects, or approximately $0.33 per
share, under the CARES Act and the 2022 Consolidated
Appropriations Act.
IRS action on this request, including its timing and the amount of any credit
approved by the IRS,
cannot be predicted. See “COVID-19 Impact Assessment.”
COVID-19 Impact Assessment
The COVID-19 pandemic has occurred in waves of different
variants since the first quarter of 2020. Vaccines
to protect
against and/or reduce the severity of COVID-19 were widely introduced at the
beginning of 2021.
At times, the pandemic
has severely restricted the level of economic activity in our markets. In response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the State of
Alabama, and most other states, have taken preventative or protective actions to prevent
the spread of the virus, including
imposing restrictions on travel and business operations and a statewide mask mandate,
advising or requiring individuals to
limit or forego their time outside of their homes, limitations on gathering of people and
social distancing, and causing
temporary closures of businesses that have been deemed to be non-essential. Though certain
of these measures have been
relaxed or eliminated, especially as vaccination levels increased, such
measures could be reestablished in cases of new
waves, especially a wave of a COVID-19 variant that is more resistant
to existing vaccines and newly developed
treatments.
COVID-19 has significantly affected local state, national and
global health and economic activity and its future effects are
uncertain and will depend on various factors, including, among others, the duration
and scope of the pandemic, especially
new variants of the virus, effective vaccines and drug treatments, together
with governmental, regulatory and private sector
responses. COVID-19 has had continuing significant effects
on the economy, financial
markets and our employees,
customers and vendors. Our business, financial condition and results of oper
ations generally rely upon the ability of our
borrowers to make deposits and repay their loans, the value of collateral underlying
our secured loans, market value,
stability and liquidity and demand for loans and other products and services we offer,
all of which are affected by the
pandemic.
We have implemented
a number of procedures in response to the pandemic to support the safety and
well-being of our
employees, customers and shareholders.
●
We believe our business continuity
plan has worked to provide essential banking services to our
communities and
customers, while protecting our employees’ health. As part of our efforts
to exercise social distancing in
accordance with the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and the Governor
of the State of Alabama,
starting March 23, 2020, we limited branch lobby service to appointment only
while continuing to operate our
branch drive-thru facilities and ATMs.
As permitted by state public health guidelines, on June 1, 2020, we re-
opened some of our branch lobbies. In 2021, we opened our remaining branch lobbies.
We continue to
provide
services through our online and other electronic channels. In addition,
we maintain remote work access to help
employees stay at home while providing continuity of service during outbreaks of
COVID-19 variants.
●
We serviced the financial
needs of our commercial and consumer clients with extensions and
deferrals to loan
customers effected by COVID-19, provided such customers
were not more than 30 days past due at the time of the
request; and
●
We
were an active PPP lender. PPP loans were forgiva
ble, in whole or in part, if the proceeds are used for payroll
and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the PPP.
These loans carry a fixed rate of
1.00% and a term of two years (loans made before June 5, 2020)
or five years (loans made on or after June 5,
2020), if not forgiven, in whole or in part. Payments are deferred
until either the date on which the Small Business
Administration (“SBA”) remits the amount of forgiveness proceeds
to the lender or the date that is 10 months after
the last day of the covered period if the borrower does not apply for forgiveness
within that 10-month period. We
believe these loans and our participation in the program helped our customers and the communities
we serve.

COVID-19 has also had various economic effects, generally.
These include supply chain disruptions and manufacturing
delays, shortages of certain goods and services, reduced consumer expenditure on
hospitality and travel, and migration from
larger urban centers to less populated areas and remote work. The
demand for single family housing has exceeded existing
supplies. When coupled with construction delays attributable to supply chain disruptions
and worker shortages, these
factors have caused housing prices and apartment rents to increase, generally.
Stimulative monetary and fiscal policies,
along with shortages of certain goods and services, and rising petroleum and food
prices,
reflecting, among other things, the
war in the Ukraine, have led to the highest inflation in decades. Although fiscal stimulus remains
under consideration by
the President and Congress, the Federal Reserve has begun increasing its target
interest rates and is considering reducing its
holdings
of securities to counteract inflation.

Act (the “Economic Aid
Act”) was signed into law. The

Act. Through
June 30, 2022, we have recognized $0.9
million of these fees, net of related costs. As of June 30, 2022, we have received
payments and forgiveness on 240 PPP loans under the Economic
Aid Act, totaling $19.6 million. The outstanding balance
for the remaining 14 PPP loans under the Economic Aid Act was approximately $0.6
million at June 30, 2022.
We continue to closely
monitor this pandemic, and are working to continue our services and to address
developments as
those occur. Our results of operations for the
six months ended June 30, 2022, and our financial condition at that date
reflect only the ongoing effects of the pandemic, and may not
be indicative of future results or financial conditions,
including possible changes in monetary or fiscal stimulus, and the possible effects
of the expiration or extension of
temporary accounting and bank regulatory relief measures in response to the COVID
-19 pandemic.
As of June 30, 2022,
all of our capital ratios were in excess of all regulatory requirements to be well capitalized.
The
continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in adverse
changes to credit quality and our regulatory capital
ratios, and inflation will affect our costs, interest rates and the values of our assets and
liabilities, customer behaviors and
economic activity.
Continuing supply chain and supply disruptions also adversely affect the
levels and costs of economic
activities.
We continue to closely
monitor this pandemic, and are working to continue our services during the pandemic
and to address developments as those occur.

The CARES Act and the 2020 Consolidated Appropriations Act provide eligible
employers an employee retention credit
related to COVID-19.
After consultation with our tax advisors, we believe we are eligible, subject
to the finalization and
filing of our request with the IRS, and approval of such request by the IRS, of an estimated
employee retention credit of
$1.6 million, or approximately $1.2 million, net of estimated income tax effects,
or approximately $0.33 per share.
IRS
action on this request, including its timing and the amount of any credit approved
by the IRS, cannot be predicted.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform with U.S. generally accepted
accounting
principles and with general practices within the banking industry.
In connection with the application of those principles, we
have made judgments and estimates which, in the case of the determination of our allowance
for loan losses, our
assessment of other-than-temporary impairment, recurring and
non-recurring fair value measurements, the valuation of
other real estate owned, and the valuation of deferred tax assets, were critical to the determination
of our financial position
and results of operations. Other policies also require subjective judgment and assumptions
and may accordingly impact our
financial position and results of operations.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company assesses the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses prior
to the end of each calendar quarter. The level of
the allowance is based upon management’s
evaluation of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, current asset quality
trends, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect
a borrower’s ability to repay (including
the timing of future payment), the estimated value of any underlying collateral,
composition of the loan portfolio, economic
conditions, industry and peer bank loan loss rates and other pertinent factors, including
regulatory recommendations. This
evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including the amounts
and timing of future cash flows
expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change.
Loans are charged off, in whole or
in part, when management believes that the full collectability of the loan is unlikely.
A loan may be partially charged-off
after a “confirming event” has occurred which serves to validate that full repayment pursuant
to the terms of the loan is
unlikely.
The Company deems loans impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable that the Company will
be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
Collection of all amounts due
according to the contractual terms means that both the interest and principal payments of a
loan will be collected as
scheduled in the loan agreement.
An impairment allowance is recognized if the fair value of the loan is less than the recorded
investment in the loan. The
impairment is recognized through the allowance. Loans that are impaired
are recorded at the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective
interest rate, or if the loan is collateral dependent, impairment
measurement is based on the fair value of the collateral, less estimated disposal costs.
The level of allowance maintained is believed by management, based on its processes and
estimates, to be adequate to
absorb probable losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. The
allowance is increased by provisions charged
to expense and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries of amounts
previously charged-off and by releases from the
allowance when determined to be appropriate to the levels of loans and probable
loan losses in such loans.
In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, the Company also considers the results of its
ongoing internal, independent
loan review process. The Company’s loan
review process assists in determining whether there are loans in the portfolio
whose credit quality has weakened over time and evaluating the risk characteristics of the
entire loan portfolio. The
Company’s loan review process includes the
judgment of management, the input from our independent loan reviewers, and
reviews that may have been conducted by bank regulatory agencies as part of their examination
process. The Company
incorporates loan review results in the determination of whether or
not it is probable that it will be able to collect all
amounts due according to the contractual terms of a loan.
As part of the Company’s quarterly assessment
of the allowance, management divides the loan portfolio into five segments:
commercial and industrial, construction and land development, commercial real estate, residential
real estate, and consumer
installment loans. The Company analyzes each segment and estimates an allowance allocation
for each loan segment.
Table of Contents
34
The allocation of the allowance for loan losses begins with a process of estimating the
probable losses inherent for these
types of loans. The estimates for these loans are established by category and based
on the Company’s internal system of
credit risk ratings and historical loss data. The estimated loan loss allocation rate for the Company’s
internal system of
credit risk grades is based on its experience with similarly graded loans. For
loan segments where the Company believes it
does not have sufficient historical loss data, the Company may
make adjustments based, in part, on loss rates of peer bank
groups. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and for the periods
then ended, the Company adjusted its historical loss
rates for the commercial real estate portfolio segment based, in part, on loss rates of peer bank
groups.
The estimated loan loss allocation for all five loan portfolio segments is then adjusted for management’s
estimate of
probable losses for several “qualitative and environmental” factors.
The allocation for qualitative and environmental
factors is particularly subjective and does not lend itself to exact mathematical calculation.
This amount represents
estimated probable inherent credit losses which exist, but have not yet been identified, as of
the balance sheet date, and are
based upon quarterly trend assessments in delinquent and nonaccrual loans, credit
concentration changes, prevailing
economic conditions, changes in lending personnel experience, changes in lending
policies or procedures and other
influencing factors.
These qualitative and environmental factors are considered for each of the five loan segments
and the
allowance allocation, as determined by the processes noted above, is increased or
decreased based on the incremental
assessment of these factors.
The Company regularly re-evaluates its practices in determining the allowance
for loan losses. The Company’s look-back
period each quarter incorporates the effects of at least one economic downturn
in its loss history.
The Company believes
this look-back period is appropriate due to the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Absent this look-back period,
the early
cycle periods in which the Company experienced significant losses would be excluded
from the determination of the
allowance for loan losses and its balance would decrease. For the quarter ended
June 30, 2022, the Company increased its
look-back period to 53 quarters to continue to include losses incurred by the Company beginning
with the first quarter of
2009. The Company will likely continue to increase its look-back period to incorporate
the effects of at least one economic
downturn in its loss history.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company adjusted certain qualitative
and
economic factors, previously downgraded as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic, to reflect improvements in economic
conditions in our primary market area.
Further adjustments may be made from time to time in the future as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic and other economic changes.
Assessment for Other-Than-Temporary
Impairment of Securities
On a quarterly basis, management makes an assessment to determine
whether there have been events or economic
circumstances to indicate that a security on which there is an unrealized loss is other-than-temporarily
impaired.
For debt securities with an unrealized loss, an other-than-temporary
impairment write-down is triggered when (1) the
Company has the intent to sell a debt security,
(2) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the
debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or (3) the Company does not expect
to recover the entire amortized
cost basis of the debt security.
If the Company has the intent to sell a debt security or if it is more likely than not that it
will
be required to sell the debt security before recovery,
the other-than-temporary write-down is equal to the entire difference
between the debt security’s amortized cost
and its fair value.
If the Company does not intend to sell the security or it is not
more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery,
the other-than-temporary impairment write-
down is separated into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other
factors.
The
credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between
the security’s amortized cost basis
and the
present value of its expected future cash flows.
The remaining difference between the security’s
fair value and the present
value of future expected cash flows is due to factors that are not credit related and is recognized in other comprehensive
income, net of applicable taxes.
The Company is required to own certain stock as a condition of membership, such as
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”)
and Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”).
These non-marketable equity securities are accounted for at cost
which equals par or
redemption value.
These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value as their ownership is restricted and
there is
no market for these securities.
The Company records these non-marketable equity securities as a component
of other
assets, which are periodically evaluated for impairment. Management considers
these non-marketable equity securities to
be long-term investments. Accordingly,
when evaluating these securities for impairment, management considers
the
ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in
value.

Fair Value
Determination
U.S. GAAP requires management to value and disclose certain of the Company’s
assets and liabilities at fair value,
including investments classified as available-for-sale and derivatives.
ASC 820,
Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures
,
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
accordance with U.S. GAAP and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements.
For more information regarding fair value measurements and disclosures,
please refer to Note 7, Fair Value,
of the consolidated financial statements that accompany this report.
Fair values are based on active market prices of identical assets or liabilities when available.
Comparable assets or
liabilities or a composite of comparable assets in active markets are used when identical assets
or liabilities do not have
readily available active market pricing.
However, some of the Company’s
assets or liabilities lack an available or
comparable trading market characterized by frequent transactions between
willing buyers and sellers. In these cases, fair
value is estimated using pricing models that use discounted cash flows and
other pricing techniques. Pricing models and
their underlying assumptions are based upon management’s
best estimates for appropriate discount rates, default rates,
prepayments, market volatility and other factors, taking into account current observable
market data and experience.
These assumptions may have a significant effect on the reported
fair values of assets and liabilities and the related income
and expense. As such, the use of different models and assumptions, as
well as changes in market conditions, could result in
materially different net earnings and retained earnings results.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned (“OREO”), consists of properties obtained through foreclosure or
in satisfaction of loans and is
reported at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs to sell at the date acquired with any loss
recognized as a
charge-off through the allowance for loan losses. Additional
OREO losses for subsequent valuation adjustments are
determined on a specific property basis and are included as a component of other noninterest
expense along with holding
costs. Any gains or losses on disposal of OREO are also reflected in noninterest expense.
Significant judgments and
complex estimates are required in estimating the fair value of OREO, and the period of time
within which such estimates
can be considered current is significantly shortened during periods of
market volatility. As a result, the
net proceeds
realized from sales transactions could differ significantly from appraisals,
comparable sales, and other estimates used to
determine the fair value of OREO.
Deferred Tax
Asset Valuation
A valuation allowance is recognized for a deferred tax asset if, based on the weight of available
evidence, it is more-likely-
than-not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred tax assets
is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods
in which those temporary differences become
deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred
tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax
planning strategies in making this assessment. At June 30, 2022
we had total deferred tax assets of $10.3 million included
as “other assets”, including $9.5 million resulting from unrealized losses in our securities
portfolio.
Based upon the level of
taxable income over the last three years and projections for future taxable income over the
periods in which the deferred tax
assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that we
will realize the benefits of these deductible
differences at June 30, 2022. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered
realizable, however, could be reduced if
estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

Net interest income (tax-equivalent) was $12.7 million for the first six
months of 2022,
a 4% increase compared to $12.2
million for the first six months of 2021.
This increase was primarily due to balance sheet growth, partially offset
by a
decrease in the Company’s net
interest margin (tax-equivalent).
Net interest margin (tax-equivalent) declined to 2.51% in
the first six months of 2022, compared to 2.63% for the first six months of 2021
due to the continued lower interest rate
environment and changes in our asset mix resulting from the continuing elevated
levels of customer deposits.
The Federal
Reserve increased the target federal funds range by 25 basis points on March 27,
2022, 50 basis points on May 5 and 75
basis points on each of June 16 and July 27.
Further increases in the target federal funds rate are possible if inflation
remains elevated.
Net interest income (tax-equivalent) included $0.3 million in PPP loan fees, net of related
costs for the
first six months of 2022, compared to $0.4 million for the first six months of 2021.
The tax-equivalent yield on total interest-earning assets decreased by 17 basis points
to 2.74% in the first six months of
2022 compared to 2.91% in the first six months of 2021.
This decrease was primarily due to changes in our asset mix
resulting from the significant increase in customer deposits.
The cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 9 basis points to 0.33%
in the first six months of 2022 compared to
0.42% in the first six months of 2021, even as interest bearing deposits increased.
The net decrease in our funding costs
was primarily due to lower prevailing market interest rates through most of the
first quarter of 2022.
Our funding costs
declined less than the rates earned on our interest earning assets.
Our deposit costs may increase as the Federal Reserve
increases its target federal funds rate and market interest rates increase.
The Company continues to deploy various asset liability management strategies
to manage its risk to interest rate
fluctuations. Pricing remains competitive in our markets.
We believe this challenging
competitive environment will
continue throughout the remainder of 2022.
Our ability to hold our deposit rates low until our interest-earning assets
reprice will be important in our ability to maintain or potentially increase our net interest
margin during the beginning of
the monetary tightening cycle that we believe we will continue to experience in
2022.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to provide
an allowance for loan losses that
management believes, based on its processes and estimates, should be adequate
to provide for the probable losses on
outstanding loans.
The Company recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $0.3
million for the first six months of
2022, compared to a negative provision for loan losses of $0.6 million for the first six
months of 2021.
The negative
provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2022 was primarily related
to a decrease in total loans, excluding PPP,
during the first six months of 2022.
The negative provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2021 was primarily
related to improvements in economic conditions in our primary market area.
The provision for loan losses is based upon
various factors, including the absolute level of loans, economic conditions, credit
quality, and the amount of net charge-
offs.
Based upon its assessment of the loan portfolio, management adjusts the allowance for loan
losses to an amount it believes
should be appropriate to adequately cover its estimate of probable losses in the loan portfolio.
The Company’s allowance
for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.07% at June 30, 2022, compared to
1.08% at December 31, 2021.
While
the policies and procedures used to estimate the allowance for loan losses, as well as the resulting
provision for loan losses
charged to operations, are considered adequate by management and
are reviewed from time to time by our regulators, they
are based on estimates and judgments and are therefore approximate and imprecise. Factors
beyond our control (such as
conditions in the local and national economy,
local real estate markets, or industries) may have a material adverse
effect on
our asset quality and the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses resulting in significant
increases in the provision for
loan losses.

The Company’s income from mortgage lending
was primarily attributable to the (1) origination and sale of mortgage loans
and (2) servicing of mortgage loans. Origination income, net, is comprised of gains or losses
from the sale of the mortgage
loans originated, origination fees, underwriting fees, and other fees associated
with the origination of loans, which are
netted against the commission expense associated with these originations. The
Company’s normal practice is to originate
mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market and to either sell or retain the associated
MSRs when the loan is sold.
MSRs are recognized based on the fair value of the servicing right on the date the corresponding
mortgage loan is sold.
Subsequent to the date of transfer, the Company
has elected to measure its MSRs under the amortization method.
Servicing
fee income is reported net of any related amortization expense.
The Company evaluates MSRs for impairment on a quarterly basis.
Impairment is determined by grouping MSRs by
common predominant characteristics, such as interest rate and loan type.
If the aggregate carrying amount of a particular
group of MSRs exceeds the group’s aggregate fair
value, a valuation allowance for that group is established.
The valuation
allowance is adjusted as the fair value changes.
An increase in mortgage interest rates typically results in an increase in the
fair value of the MSRs while a decrease in mortgage interest rates typically results in a decrease
in the fair value of MSRs.
The following table presents a breakdown of the Company’s
mortgage lending income.

The Company’s income from mortgage lending
typically fluctuates as mortgage interest rates change and is primarily
attributable to the origination and sale of mortgage loans. Origination income decreased
due to a decrease in refinance
activity in our primary market area, as market interest rates on mortgage loans increased.
The decrease in origination
income was partially offset by an increase in servicing fees, net of related
amortization expense as prepayment speeds
slowed, resulting in decreased amortization expense.

The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to a decrease in deferred costs related
to the PPP loan program, and
routine annual wage and benefit increases.
The increase in net occupancy and equipment expense was primarily due to increased
expenses related to the
redevelopment of the Company’s headquarters
in downtown Auburn.
This amount includes depreciation expense and one-
time costs associated with the opening of the Company’s
new headquarters.
The Company relocated its main office branch
and bank operations into its newly constructed headquarters during June of 2022.
The decrease in professional fees expense was primarily due to a decrease
in legal fees.
Income Tax
Expense
Income tax expense was $0.6
million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $0.9 million for the first six months of
2021.
The Company’s effective income
tax rate for the first six months of 2022 was 13.71%, compared to 17.76%
in the
first six months of 2021.
The decrease was primarily due to an income tax benefit related to a New Markets Tax
Credit
investment funded in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The Company’s effective
income tax rate is principally impacted by tax-
exempt earnings from the Company’s investments
in municipal securities, bank-owned life insurance, and New Markets
Tax Credits.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Securities
Securities available-for-sale were $429.2
million at June 30, 2022 compared to $421.9 million at December 31, 2021.
This
increase reflects an increase in the amortized cost basis of securities available-for-sale
of $46.5 million, and a decrease of
$39.2 million in the fair value of securities available-for-sale.
The increase in the amortized cost basis of securities
available-for-sale was primarily attributable to management
allocating more funding to the investment portfolio following
the significant increase in customer deposits.
The decrease in the fair value of securities was primarily due to an increase
in
long-term market interest rates,
which resulted in $9.5 million of deferred tax assets included in our other assets.
The
average annualized tax-equivalent yields earned on total securities were 1.84
%
in the first six months of 2022 and 1.72% in
the first six months of 2021.

Excluding PPP loans, total loans, net of unearned income, were $440.2
million, a decrease of $10.0 million, or 2% from
December 31, 2021.
Four loan categories represented the majority of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2022:
commercial real
estate (55%), residential real estate (19%), commercial and industrial (16%) and
construction and land development (9%).
Approximately 24% of the Company’s commercial
real estate loans were classified as owner-occupied at June 30, 2022.
Within the residential real estate portfolio
segment, the Company had junior lien mortgages of approximately $6.9
million,
or 2%, and $7.2 million, or 2%, of total loans, net of unearned income at June 30, 2022
and December 31, 2021,
respectively.
For residential real estate mortgage loans with a consumer purpose, the Company
had no loans that required
interest only payments at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company’s
residential real estate mortgage portfolio
does not include any option ARM loans, subprime loans,
or any material amount of other high-risk consumer mortgage
products.
The average yield earned on loans and loans held for sale was 4.42% in the first six months
of 2022 and 4.47% in the first
six months of 2021.
The specific economic and credit risks associated with our loan portfolio include,
but are not limited to, the effects of
current economic conditions, including the continuing effects from the
COVID-19 pandemic, as well as high inflation rates
and the Federal Reserve’s shift from stimulative
monetary policy to increases in the target Federal Funds rate and
reductions in its securities holdings,
on our borrowers’ cash flows, real estate market sales volumes, valuations,
availability
and cost of financing properties, real estate industry concentrations, competitive pressures
from a wide range of other
lenders, deterioration in certain credits, interest rate fluctuations and increases,
reduced collateral values or non-existent
collateral, title defects, inaccurate appraisals, financial deterioration of borrowers,
fraud, and any violation of applicable
laws and regulations.
The Company attempts to reduce these economic and credit risks through its loan-to-value
guidelines for collateralized
loans, investigating the creditworthiness of borrowers and monitoring borrowers’ financial
position. Also, we have
established and periodically review,
lending policies and procedures. Banking regulations limit a bank’s
credit exposure by
prohibiting unsecured loan relationships that exceed 10% of its capital; or 20%
of capital, if loans in excess of 10% of
capital are fully secured. Under these regulations, we are prohibited from having secured
loan relationships in excess of
approximately $21.4
million.
Furthermore, we have an internal limit for aggregate credit exposure (loans outstanding
plus
unfunded commitments) to a single borrower of $19.3
million. Our loan policy requires that the Loan Committee of the
Board of Directors approve any loan relationships that exceed this internal limit.
At June 30, 2022, the Bank had no
relationships exceeding these limits.

We periodically analyze
our commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loan portfolios to determine if
a
concentration of credit risk exists in any one or more industries. We
use classification systems broadly accepted by the
financial services industry in order to categorize our commercial borrowers.
Loan concentrations to borrowers in the
following classes exceeded 25% of the Bank’s total
risk-based capital at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

In light of disruptions in economic conditions caused by COVID-19, the financial regulators
have issued guidance
encouraging banks to work constructively with borrowers affected
by the virus in our community.
This guidance, including
the Interagency Statement on COVID-19 Loan Modifications and the Interagency Examiner
Guidance for Assessing Safety
and Soundness Considering the Effect of the COVID-19
Pandemic on Institutions, provides that the agencies will not
criticize financial institutions that mitigate credit risk through prudent actions
consistent with safe and sound practices.
Specifically, examiners
will not criticize institutions for working with borrowers as part of a risk
mitigation strategy
intended to improve existing loans, even if the restructured loans have or develop
weaknesses that ultimately result in
adverse credit classification.
Upon demonstrating the need for payment relief, the bank will work with qualified borrowers
that were otherwise current before the pandemic to determine the most appropriate
deferral option.
For residential
mortgage and consumer loans the borrower may elect to defer payments for up to three
months.
Interest continues to
accrue and the amount due at maturity increases.
Commercial real estate, commercial, and small business borrowers may
elect to defer payments for up to three months or pay scheduled interest payments for a
six-month period.
The bank
recognizes that a combination of the payment relief options may be prudent dependent
on a borrower’s business type.
As
of June 30, 2022, we had no COVID-19 loan deferrals, compared to one COVID-19
loan deferral totaling $0.1 million at
December 31, 2021.
Section 4013 of the CARES Act provides
that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a TDR
pursuant to GAAP.
In addition, the Interagency Statement on COVID-19 Loan Modifications provides
circumstances in
which a loan modification is not subject to classification as a TDR if such loan is not eligible
for modification under
Section 4013.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company maintains the allowance for loan losses at a level that management believes
appropriate to adequately cover
the Company’s estimate of probable
losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses was $4.7 million at
June 30, 2022 compared to $4.9 million at December 31, 2021, which
management believed to be adequate at each of the
respective dates. The judgments and estimates associated with the determination
of the allowance for loan losses are
described under “Critical Accounting Policies.”

As described under “Critical Accounting Policies,” management assesses the adequacy
of the allowance prior to the end of
each calendar quarter. The level of the allowance
is based upon management’s evaluation
of the loan portfolios, past loan
loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that
may affect the borrower’s ability to repay
(including the timing of future payment), the estimated value of any underlying collateral,
composition of the loan
portfolio, economic conditions, industry and peer bank loan loss rates, and other pertinent
factors. This evaluation is
inherently subjective as it requires various material estimates and judgments, including
the amounts and timing of future
cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to
significant change. The ratio of our
allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was 1.07%
at June 30, 2022, compared to 1.08% at December 31, 2021.
In the future, the allowance to total loans outstanding ratio will increase or decrease
to the extent the factors that influence
our quarterly allowance assessment, including the duration and magnitude of
COVID-19 effects and increasing market
interest rates as the Federal Reserve shifts from stimulus to fighting inflation,
in their entirety either improve or weaken.
In
addition, our regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review
the Company’s allowance
for loan losses, and may require the Company to make additional provisions to the allowance
for loan losses based on their
judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Potential Problem Loans
Potential problem loans represent those loans with a well-defined weakness and
where information about possible credit
problems of a borrower has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrower’s
ability to comply with present
repayment terms.
This definition is believed to be substantially consistent with the standards
established by the Federal
Reserve, the Company’s primary regulator,
for loans classified as substandard, excluding nonaccrual loans.
Potential
problem loans, which are not included in nonperforming assets, amounted to $1.3
million, or 0.3% of total loans at June 30,
2022, and $2.4 million, or 0.5% of total loans at December 31, 2021.

Deposits
Total deposits
were $1.0 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Noninterest-bearing deposits were $311.2
million, or 31% of total deposits, at June 30, 2022, compared to $316.1
million, or 32% of total deposits at December 31,
2021.
Estimated uninsured deposits totaled $411.3
million and $420.8 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
respectively.
Uninsured amounts are estimated based on the portion of account balances in excess of
FDIC insurance
limits.
The average rate paid on total interest-bearing deposits was 0.33% in the first six
months of 2022 compared to 0.42% in the
first six months of 2021.
Other Borrowings
Other borrowings consist of short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Short-term
borrowings generally consist of federal
funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
with an original maturity of one year or less.
The Bank
had available federal funds lines totaling $61.0 million and $41.0
million with none outstanding at June 30, 2022, and
December 31, 2021, respectively.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $4.1
million and $3.4 million at
June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The average rate paid on short-term borrowings was 0.50% in the first six months of 2022
and 2021,
respectively.
The Company had no long-term debt at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY
The Company’s consolidated
stockholders’ equity was $76.1 million and $103.7 million as of June 30, 2022
and December
31, 2021, respectively. The decrease
from December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by an other comprehensive loss due
to
the change in unrealized gains/losses on securities available-for-sale,
net of tax of $29.3 million.
The increase in the
unrealized loss on securities was primarily due to increases in market interest rates.
These unrealized losses do not affect
the Bank’s capital for regulatory capital purposes.
The Company paid cash dividends of $0.53 per share in the first six months of 2022,
an increase of 2% from the same
period in 2021. The Company’s share repurchases
of $0.3
million since December 31, 2021 resulted in 10,640 fewer
outstanding common shares at June 30, 2022.
On January 1, 2015, the Company and Bank became subject to the rules of the Basel III regulatory
capital framework and
related Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act changes.
The rules included the implementation of a
capital conservation buffer that is added to the minimum requirements
for capital adequacy purposes.
The capital
conservation buffer was subject to a three year phase-in period
that began on January 1, 2016 and was fully phased-in on
January 1, 2019 at 2.5%.
A banking organization with a conservation buffer of less than the
required amount will be
subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary
bonus payments to
executive officers.
At June 30, 2022, the Bank’s ratio
was sufficient to meet the fully phased-in conservation buffer.
Effective March 20, 2020, the Federal Reserve and the other
federal banking regulators adopted an interim final rule that
amended the capital conservation buffer.
The interim final rule was adopted as a final rule on August 26, 2020.
The new
rule revises the definition of “eligible retained income” for purposes of the
maximum payout ratio to allow banking
organizations to more freely use their capital buffers to
promote lending and other financial intermediation activities, by
making the limitations on capital distributions more gradual.
The eligible retained income is now the greater of (i) net
income for the four preceding quarters, net of distributions and associated
tax effects not reflected in net income; and (ii)
the average of all net income over the preceding four quarters.
The interim final rule only affects the capital buffers, and
banking organizations were encouraged to
make prudent capital distribution decisions.
The Federal Reserve has treated us as a “small bank holding company’ under the Federal
Reserve’s policy.
Accordingly,
our capital adequacy is evaluated at the Bank level, and not for the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries.
The Bank’s
tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.16%, CET1 risk-based capital ratio was 16.59%, tier 1
risk-based capital ratio was 16.59%, and
total risk-based capital ratio was 17.38% at June 30, 2022. These ratios exceed
the minimum regulatory capital percentages
of 5.0% for tier 1 leverage ratio, 6.5% for CET1 risk-based capital ratio, 8.0%
for tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and 10.0%
for total risk-based capital ratio to be considered “well capitalized.”
The Bank’s capital conservation buffe
r
was 9.38% at
June 30, 2022.
Our unrealized losses on securities due to increases in market interest rates do
not directly affect our capital
for regulatory purposes, and the resulting deferred tax assets, including $9.5
million resulting from such unrealized
securities losses, was below the 25% threshold requiring deduction of such assets
from CET1 capital.
MARKET AND LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT
Management’s objective is to manage assets and
liabilities to provide a satisfactory,
consistent level of profitability within
the framework of established liquidity,
loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies. The Bank’s
Asset Liability
Management Committee (“ALCO”) is charged with the responsibility
of monitoring these policies, which are designed to
ensure an acceptable asset/liability composition. Two
critical areas of focus for ALCO are interest rate risk and liquidity
risk management.
Interest Rate Risk Management
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to market risk arising from
fluctuations in interest rates. ALCO
measures and evaluates interest rate risk so that the Bank can meet customer demands for
various types of loans and
deposits. Measurements used to help manage interest rate sensitivity include an earnings simulation
model and an economic
value of equity (“EVE”) model.
Table of Contents
45
Earnings simulation
. Management believes that interest rate risk is best estimated by our earnings simulation
modeling.
Forecasted levels of earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, and off
-balance sheet financial instruments are combined
with ALCO forecasts of market interest rates for the next 12 months and other
factors in order to produce various earnings
simulations and estimates. To
help limit interest rate risk, we have guidelines for earnings at risk which seek to limit the
variance of net interest income from gradual changes in interest rates.
For changes up or down in rates from management’s
flat interest rate forecast over the next 12 months, policy limits for net interest income variances
are as follows:
●
+/- 20% for a gradual change of 400 basis points
●
+/- 15% for a gradual change of 300 basis points
●
+/- 10% for a gradual change of 200 basis points
●
+/- 5% for a gradual change of 100 basis points
At June 30, 2022, our earnings simulation model indicated that we were in compliance
with the policy guidelines noted
above.
Economic Value
of Equity
. EVE measures the extent that the estimated economic values of our assets, liabilities, and off-
balance sheet items will change as a result of interest rate changes. Economic values are
estimated by discounting expected
cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items,
which establishes a base case EVE. In contrast with our
earnings simulation model, which evaluates interest rate risk over a 12 month timeframe,
EVE uses a terminal horizon
which allows for the re-pricing of all assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items.
Further, EVE is measured using values
as of a point in time and does not reflect any actions that ALCO might take in responding to
or anticipating changes in
interest rates, or market and competitive conditions.
To help limit interest rate risk,
we have stated policy guidelines for an
instantaneous basis point change in interest rates, such that our EVE should not decrease from our
base case by more than
the following:
●
45% for an instantaneous change of +/- 400 basis points
●
35% for an instantaneous change of +/- 300 basis points
●
25% for an instantaneous change of +/- 200 basis points
●
15% for an instantaneous change of +/- 100 basis points
At June 30, 2022, our EVE model indicated that we were in compliance with
our policy guidelines.
Each of the above analyses may not, on its own, be an accurate indicator of how our net interest income
will be affected by
changes in interest rates. Income associated with interest-earning assets and costs associated
with interest-bearing liabilities
may not be affected uniformly by changes in interest rates. In addition,
the magnitude and duration of changes in interest
rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. For example, although certain
assets and liabilities may have
similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different
degrees to changes in market interest rates, and other
economic and market factors, including market perceptions.
Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities fluctuate
in advance of changes in general market rates, while interest rates on other types of assets
and liabilities may lag behind
changes in general market rates. In addition, certain assets, such as adjustable rate
mortgage loans, have features (generally
referred to as “interest rate caps and floors”) which limit changes in interest rates.
Prepayments
and early withdrawal levels
also could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the maturity of certain instruments.
The ability of many
borrowers to service their debts also may decrease during periods of rising interest rates or economic
stress, which may
differ across industries and economic sectors. ALCO reviews each of the
above interest rate sensitivity analyses along with
several different interest rate scenarios in seeking satisfactory,
consistent levels of profitability within the framework of the
Company’s established liquidity,
loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies.
The Company may also use derivative financial instruments to improve the balance
between interest-sensitive assets and
interest-sensitive liabilities, and as a tool to manage interest rate sensitivity
while continuing to meet the credit and deposit
needs of our customers. From time to time, the Company also may enter into back-to-back
interest rate swaps to facilitate
customer transactions and meet their financing needs. These interest rate swaps qualify
as derivatives, but are not
designated as hedging instruments. At June 30, 2022 and December 31,
2021, the Company had no derivative contracts
designated as part of a hedging relationship to assist in managing its interest rate sensitivity.

Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity is the Company’s ability to convert
assets into cash equivalents in order to meet daily cash flow requirements,
primarily for deposit withdrawals, loan demand and maturing obligations.
Without proper management of its liquidity,
the
Company could experience higher costs of obtaining funds due to insufficient liquidity,
while excessive liquidity could lead
to lower earnings due to the cost of foregoing alternative higher-yield
market investment opportunities.
Liquidity is managed at two levels. The first is the liquidity of the Company.
The second is the liquidity of the Bank. The
management of liquidity at both levels is essential, because the Company and the Bank are
separate and distinct legal
entities with different funding needs and sources, and each are subject
to regulatory guidelines and requirements.
The
Company depends upon dividends from the Bank for liquidity to pay its operating
expenses, debt obligations and
dividends.
The Bank’s payment of dividends depends
on its earnings, liquidity, capital
and the absence of regulatory
restrictions on such dividends.
The primary source of funding and liquidity for the Company has been dividends received
from the Bank.
If needed, the
Company could also borrow money,
or issue common stock or other securities.
Primary uses of funds by the Company
include dividends paid to stockholders, Company stock repurchases, and payment of
Company expenses.
Primary sources of funding for the Bank include customer deposits, other borrowings,
repayment and maturity of securities,
sales of securities, and the sale and repayment of loans. The Bank has access to federal
funds lines from various banks and
borrowings from the Federal Reserve discount window.
In addition to these sources, the Bank may participate in the
FHLB’s advance program to obtain funding for
its growth. Advances include both fixed and variable terms and may be
taken out with varying maturities. At June 30, 2022, the Bank had a remaining available
line of credit with the FHLB of
$332.7 million. At June 30, 2022, the Bank also had $51.0 million of available federal
funds lines with no borrowings
outstanding. Primary uses of funds include repayment of maturing obligations and
growing the loan portfolio.
Management believes that the Company and the Bank have adequate sources of liquidity to
meet all their respective known
contractual obligations and unfunded commitments, including loan commitments
and reasonable borrower, depositor,
and
creditor requirements over the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Commitments, Contingencies and Contractual
Obligations
At June 30, 2022, the Bank had outstanding standby letters of credit of $1.2
million and unfunded loan commitments
outstanding of $60.4 million.
Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and
many will expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future
cash requirements. If needed to
fund these outstanding commitments, the Bank could liquidate federal funds
sold or a portion of our securities available-
for-sale, or draw on its available credit facilities.
Mortgage lending activities
We primarily sell residential
mortgage loans in the secondary market to Fannie Mae while retaining the servicing of these
loans. The sale agreements for these residential mortgage loans with Fannie Mae and other
investors include various
representations and warranties regarding the origination and characteristics
of the residential mortgage loans.
Although the
representations and warranties vary among investors, they typically cover ownership
of the loan, validity of the lien
securing the loan, the absence of delinquent taxes or liens against the property securing the
loan, compliance with loan
criteria set forth in the applicable agreement, compliance with applicable federal,
state, and local laws, among other
matters.
As of June 30, 2022,
the unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans, which we have originated and
sold, but
retained the servicing rights, was $247.1 million.
Although these loans are generally sold on a non-recourse basis, we may
be obligated to repurchase residential mortgage loans or reimburse investors for
losses incurred (make whole requests) if a
loan review reveals a potential breach of seller representations and
warranties.
Upon receipt of a repurchase or make whole
request, we work with investors to arrive at a mutually agreeable resolution. Repurchase and
make whole requests are
typically reviewed on an individual loan by loan basis to validate the claims made by the investor
and to determine if a
contractually required repurchase or make whole event has occurred. We
seek to reduce and manage the risks of potential
repurchases, make whole requests, or other claims by mortgage loan investors
through our underwriting and quality
assurance practices and by servicing mortgage loans to meet investor and secondary
market standards.
Table of Contents
47
The Company was not required to repurchase any loans during the first six months of
2022 as a result of representation and
warranty provisions contained in the Company’s
sale agreements with Fannie Mae, and had no pending repurchase or
make-whole requests at June 30, 2022.
We service all residential
mortgage loans originated and sold by us to Fannie Mae.
As servicer, our primary duties are to:
(1) collect payments due from borrowers;
(2) advance certain delinquent payments of principal and interest;
(3) maintain
and administer any hazard, title, or primary mortgage insurance policies relating to the
mortgage loans;
(4) maintain any
required escrow accounts for payment of taxes and insurance and administer escrow payments;
and (5) foreclose on
defaulted mortgage loans or take other actions to mitigate the potential losses to investors
consistent with the agreements
governing our rights and duties as servicer.
The agreement under which we act as servicer generally specifies
standards
of responsibility for actions taken by us in such
capacity and provides protection against expenses and liabilities incurred by us when acting
in compliance with the
respective servicing agreements.
However, if we commit a material breach of our obligations
as servicer, we may be
subject to termination if the breach is not cured within a specified period following notice.
The standards governing
servicing and the possible remedies for violations of such standards are determined by servicing
guides issued by Fannie
Mae as well as the contract provisions established between Fannie Mae and the Bank.
Remedies could include repurchase
of an affected loan.
Although repurchase and make whole requests related to representation and
warranty provisions and servicing activities
have been limited to date, it is possible that requests to repurchase mortgage loans or reimburse
investors for losses incurred
(make whole requests) may increase in frequency if investors more aggressively
pursue all means of recovering losses on
their purchased loans.
As of June 30, 2022, we do not believe that this exposure is material due to the historical level of
repurchase requests and loss trends, in addition to the fact that 99% of our residential
mortgage loans serviced for Fannie
Mae were current as of such date.
We maintain ongoing communications
with our investors and will continue to evaluate
this exposure by monitoring the level and number of repurchase requests as well as the delinquency
rates in our investor
portfolios.
Section 4021 of the CARES Act allows borrowers under 1-to-4 family residential
mortgage loans sold to Fannie Mae to
request forbearance to the servicer after affirming that such borrower is experiencing
financial hardships during the
COVID-19 emergency.
Except for vacant or abandoned properties, Fannie Mae servicers may not initiate
foreclosures on
similar procedures or related evictions or sales until December 31, 2020. The
forbearance period was extended, generally,
to March 31, 2021. The Bank sells mortgage loans to Fannie Mae and services these on
an actual/actual basis. As a result,
the Bank is not obligated to make any advances to Fannie Mae on principal and interest on
such mortgage loans where the
borrower is entitled to forbearance.
Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data
presented herein have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP and practices within the banking industry which require the
measurement of financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in
the relative purchasing power of money
over time due to inflation. Unlike
most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution
are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a
financial institution’s performance
than the effects of general levels of inflation.
Inflation, however, could increase our noninterest
expenses, and Federal
Reserve monetary policy in response to inflation has increased market interest rates and
affected values of certain of our
assets and liabilities, including our securities portfolio and mortgage servicing assets.

ASU 2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic
326): - Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial
Instruments
, amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and
available for sale debt
securities.
For assets held at amortized cost basis, the new standard eliminates the probable initial recognition
threshold in
current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected
credit losses using a broader
range of information regarding past events, current conditions and forecasts assessing the
collectability of cash flows. The
allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized
cost basis of the financial assets to
present the net amount expected to be collected.
For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a
manner similar to current GAAP,
however the new standard will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance
rather than as a write-down.
The new guidance affects entities holding financial assets and
net investment in leases that are
not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect
loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net
investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables,
and any other financial assets not
excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash.
For public business entities, the new guidance was
originally effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2019.
The Company has
developed an implementation team that is following a general timeline.
The team has been working with an advisory
consultant, with whom a third-party software license has been purchased.
The Company’s preliminary evaluation indicates
the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 are expected to impact the Company’s
consolidated financial statements, in particular
the level of the reserve for credit losses.
The Company is continuing to evaluate the extent of the potential impact and
expects that portfolio composition and economic conditions at the time of adoption
will be a factor.
On October 16, 2019,
the FASB approved
a previously issued proposal granting smaller reporting companies a postponement of the required
implementation date for ASU 2016-13.
The Company is required to implement the new standard in January 2023, with early adoption
permitted in any period prior
to that date.

Table 1
– Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), this quarterly
report on Form 10-Q includes certain designated net interest income amounts
presented on a tax-equivalent basis, a non-
GAAP financial measure, including the presentation and calculation of the efficiency
ratio.
The Company believes the presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent
basis provides comparability of net
interest income from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and facilitates comparability
within the industry. Although the
Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’
understanding of its business and performance,
these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative
to GAAP.
The reconciliations
of these non-
GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures are presented below.

affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial
reporting.

which could materially affect our business, financial condition
or future results. The risks described in our annual report on
Form 10-K are not the only the risks facing our Company.
Increases in inflation and the resulting tightening of Federal
Reserve monetary policy by increased target interest rates, has and is expected
to continue to affect mortgage originations
and income and the market values of our securities portfolio.
These could also affect our deposit, costs and
mixes, and
change consumer savings and payment behaviors.
Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we
currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition, and/or operating
results in the future.
