CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements of Citizens Community Federal N.A. (the "Bank") included herein have been included by its parent company, Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial statements. As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us", "our", and "Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc." mean the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank, unless the context indicates other meaning.
The Bank is a national banking association (a "National Bank") and operates under the title of Citizens Community Federal National Association ("Citizens Community Federal N.A." or "Bank" or "CCFBank"). The Company is a bank holding company, supervised by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, and operates under the title of Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), is the primary federal regulator for the Bank.
The consolidated income of the Company is principally derived from the income of the Bank, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, serving customers in Wisconsin and Minnesota through 25 branch locations. Its primary markets include the Chippewa Valley Region in Wisconsin, the Mankato and Twin Cities markets in Minnesota, and various rural communities around these areas. The Bank offers traditional community banking services to businesses, agricultural operators and consumers, including one-to-four family residential mortgages.
The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and non-financial institutions providing financial products. Additionally, the Bank is subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergoes periodic examination by those regulatory agencies.
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the events and transactions that occurred subsequent to the June 30, 2022, balance sheet date and through the date the financial statements were available to be issued for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Unless otherwise stated herein, and except for shares and per share amounts, all amounts are in thousands.
Principles of Consolidation- The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates-Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, fair value of financial instruments, the allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights, foreclosed and repossessed assets, valuation of intangible assets arising from acquisitions, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, valuation of goodwill and long-lived assets, stock based compensation, deferred tax assets, uncertain income tax positions and contingencies. Management does not anticipate any material changes to estimates made herein in the near term. Factors that may cause sensitivity to the aforementioned estimates include but are not limited to: those items described under the caption "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2022; the matters described in "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 4, 2022; the matters described in "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this Form 10-Q; external market factors such as market interest rates and unemployment rates; changes to operating policies and procedures and changes in applicable banking regulations. Actual results may ultimately differ from estimates, although management does not generally believe such differences would materially affect the consolidated financial statements in any individual reporting period.
Investment Securities; Held to Maturity and Available for Sale -Management determines the appropriate classification of investment securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of the date of each balance sheet. Securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held to maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Investment securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as available
12

for sale. Available for sale securities are stated at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses being reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Unrealized losses deemed other-than-temporary due to credit issues are reported in the Company's net income in the period in which the losses arise. Realized gains or losses on sales of available for sale securities are calculated with the specific identification method and are included in the consolidated statements of operations under net gains on investment securities. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or accretion of purchase discount. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the estimated lives of the securities.
The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. As part of such monitoring, the credit quality of individual securities and their issuer is assessed. Significant inputs used to measure the amount of other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss include, but are not limited to: the Company's intent and ability to sell the debt security prior to recovery, that it is more likely than not that the Company will not sell the security prior to recovery, default and delinquency rates of the underlying collateral, remaining credit support, and historical loss severities. Adjustments to market value of available for sale securities that are considered temporary are recorded in other comprehensive income or loss as separate components of stockholders' equity, net of tax. If the unrealized loss of a security is identified as other-than-temporary based on information available, such as the decline in the creditworthiness of the issuer, external market ratings, or the anticipated or realized elimination of associated dividends, such impairments are further analyzed to determine if credit loss exists. If there is a credit loss, it will be recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. Non-credit components of the unrealized losses on available for sale securities will continue to be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.
Equity investments - The Company is required to maintain an investment in Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation ("Farmer Mac") equity securities. Farmer Mac equity securities are carried at their fair market value, which is readily determinable. Changes in fair value are recognized as net gains (losses) on investment securities in the consolidated Statement of Operations.
Also included in equity investments are the Company's investments in a Volker Rule-compliant Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") and an investment fund. The SBIC and investment fund meet the definition of investment companies, as defined in ASC 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. These investments seek returns by investing in various small businesses and do not have redemption rights. Distributions from the investments will be received as the underlying investments, which generally have a life of 10 years, are liquidated. We elected the practical expedient available in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which permits the use of net asset value ("NAV") per share or equivalent to value investments in entities that are or are similar to investment companies. SBICs and investment funds report their investments at estimated fair value. We record the unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these investments as gains or losses on equity securities in our consolidated statements of operations. The carrying value of these investments is equal to the capital account balance per each entities' quarterly financial statements.
Other Investments - As a member of the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") System and the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") System, the Bank is required to maintain an investment in the capital stock of these entities. These securities are "restricted" in that they can only be sold back to the respective institutions or another member institution at par. Therefore, they are less liquid than other exchange traded equity securities. As no ready market exists for these stocks, and they have no quoted market value, these investments are carried at cost and periodically evaluated for impairment based on the ultimate recovery of par value. Cash dividends are reported as other income in the consolidated statement of operations.
Also included in other investments is stock of our correspondent bank, Bankers' Bank, without readily determinable fair value. This stock is carried at cost plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for this stock, less other-than-temporary impairment charges, if any.
Management's evaluation for impairment of these other investments, includes consideration of the financial condition and other available relevant information of the issuer. Based on management's quarterly evaluation, no impairment has been recorded on these securities. Other investments totaling $14,899 at June 30, 2022 consisted of $7,010 of FHLB stock, $5,661 of Federal Reserve Bank stock and $2,228 of Bankers' Bank stock. Other investments totaling $15,305 at December 31, 2021 consisted of $7,877 of FHLB stock and $5,200 of Federal Reserve Bank stock and $2,228 of Bankers' Bank stock.
Loans -Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of: deferred loan fees and costs, accretable yield on acquired loans and non-accretable discount on purchased credit impaired (PCI) loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance of these loans. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the interest method over the contractual life of the loan with no prepayments assumed. If the loan is prepaid, any unamortized net fee is recognized at this time. Late charge fees are recognized into income when collected.
13

Interest income on commercial, mortgage and consumer loans is discontinued according to the following schedules:
•Commercial/agricultural real estate loans past due 90 days or more;
•Commercial and industrial/agricultural operating loans past due 90 days or more;
•Closed end consumer installment loans past due 120 days or more; and
•Residential mortgage loans and open ended consumer installment loans past due 180 days or more.
Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not received for a loan placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when payments are made that bring the loan account current with the contractual term of the loan and a six month payment history has been established. Interest on accruing troubled debt restructured ("TDR"), less than 90 days delinquent, is recognized as income as it accrues, based on the revised terms of the loan over an established period of continued payment.
Residential mortgage loans and open ended consumer installment loans are charged off to estimated net realizable value less estimated selling costs at the earlier of when (a) the loan is deemed by management to be uncollectible, or (b) the loan becomes past due 180 days or more. Closed ended consumer installment loans are charged off to net realizable value at the earlier of when (a) the loan is deemed by management to be uncollectible, or (b) the loan becomes past due 120 days or more. Commercial/agricultural real estate, commercial and industrial and agricultural operating loans are charged off to net realizable value at the earlier of when (a) the loan is deemed by management to be uncollectible, or (b) the loan becomes past due 90 days or more.
Allowance for Loan Losses -The allowance for loan losses ("ALL") is a valuation allowance for probable and inherent credit losses in our loan portfolio. Loan losses are charged against the ALL when management believes that the collectability of a loan balance is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALL. Management estimates the required ALL balance taking into account the following factors: past loan loss experience; the nature, volume and composition of our loan portfolio; known and inherent risks in our portfolio; information about specific borrowers' ability to repay; estimated collateral values; current economic conditions; and other relevant factors determined by management. The ALL consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for certain qualitative factors. The entire ALL balance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged off.
A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impaired loans consist of all TDRs, as well as individual loans not considered a TDR, that are either (1) rated substandard or worse, (2) on nonaccrual status or (3) PCI loans which are impaired at the time of acquisition. Substandard loans, as defined by the OCC, our primary banking regulator, are loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. All TDRs are individually evaluated for impairment. See Note 3, "Loans, Allowance for Loan Losses and Impaired Loans" for more information on what we consider to be a TDR. For TDR's or substandard loans deemed to be impaired, a specific ALL allocation may be established so that the loan is reported, net, at the lower of (a) its outstanding principal balance; (b) the present value of the loan's estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate; or (c) at the fair value of any loan collateral, less estimated disposal costs, if repayment is expected solely from the underlying collateral of the loan. For TDRs less than 90+ days past due, and certain substandard loans that are less than 90+ days delinquent, the likelihood of the loan migrating to over 90 days past due is also taken into account when determining the specific ALL allocation for these particular loans. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as non-TDR commercial, consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for ALL purposes, and accordingly, are not separately identified for ALL disclosures.
Acquired Loans- Loans acquired in connection with acquisitions are recorded at their acquisition-date fair value with no carryover of related allowance for loan losses. Any allowance for loan loss on these pools reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition (meaning the present value of all cash flows expected at acquisition that no longer are expected to be received). Determining the fair value of the acquired loans involves estimating the principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at a market rate of interest. Management considers a number of factors in evaluating the acquisition-date fair value including: the remaining life of the acquired loans, delinquency status, estimated prepayments, payment options and other loan features, internal risk grade, estimated value of the underlying collateral and interest rate environment.
Acquired loans that met the criteria for nonaccrual of interest prior to the acquisition may be considered performing upon acquisition, regardless of whether the customer is contractually delinquent, if we can reasonably estimate the timing and amount
14

of the expected cash flows on such loans and if we expect to fully collect the new carrying value of the loans. As such, we may no longer consider the loan to be nonaccrual or nonperforming and may accrue interest on these loans, including the impact of any accretable yield.
Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (ASC 310-30) if, at acquisition, the loans have evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination and it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected. At acquisition, the Company considers several factors as indicators that an acquired loan has evidence of deterioration in credit quality. These factors include, but are not limited to: loans 90 days or more past due, loans with an internal risk grade of substandard or below, loans classified as non-accrual by the acquired institution, and loans that have been previously modified in a troubled debt restructuring.
Under the ASC 310-30 model, the excess of cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition over recorded fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is the interest component of expected cash flow. The accretable discount is recognized into income over the remaining life of the loan if the timing and/or amount of cash flows expected to be collected can be reasonably estimated (the accretion method). If the timing or amount of cash flows expected to be collected cannot be reasonably estimated, the cost recovery method of income recognition is used. The difference between the loan's total scheduled principal and interest payments over all cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition, considering the impact of prepayments, is referred to as the non-accretable difference. The non-accretable difference represents contractually required principal and interest payments which the Company does not expect to collect.
Over the life of the loan, management continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments through a charge to the provision for loan losses resulting in an increase in the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent improvements in cash flows result in first, reversal of existing valuation allowances recognized subsequent to acquisition, if any, and next, an increase in the amount of accretable discount to be subsequently recognized in interest income on a prospective basis over the loan's remaining life.
Acquired loans that were not individually determined to be purchased with deteriorated credit quality are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (ASC 310-20), whereby the premium or discount derived from the fair market value adjustment, on a loan-by-loan or pooled basis, is recognized into interest income on a level yield basis over the remaining expected life of the loan or pool.
For all acquired loans, the outstanding loan balances less any related accretable discount and/or non-accretable difference is referred to as the loans' carrying amount.
Loans Held for Sale - Loans held for sale are those loans the Company has the intent to sell in the foreseeable future. They are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Gains and losses on sales of loans are recognized at settlement dates, and are determined by the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying value of the loans after allocating costs to servicing rights retained. Such gains and losses are included as non-interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. All sales are made without recourse. Interest rate lock commitments on mortgage loans to be funded and sold are valued at fair value, and are included in other assets or liabilities, if material.
Transfers of financial assets-Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the entity, (2) the transferee obtains the right, free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right, to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the entity does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before maturity.
Mortgage Servicing Rights- Mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") assets result as the Company sells loans to investors in the secondary market and retains the rights to service mortgage loans sold to others. MSR assets are initially measured at fair value; assessed for impairment at least annually; carried at the lower of the initial capitalized amount, net of accumulated amortization, or estimated fair value. MSR assets are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income, with the amortization recorded in non-interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
The valuation of MSRs and related amortization, included in mortgage servicing rights expense in the consolidated statements of operations, thereon are based on numerous factors, assumptions and judgments, such as those for: changes in the mix of loans, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and default rates. Changes in these factors, assumptions and judgments may have a material effect on the valuation and amortization of MSRs. Although management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate the MSRs for impairment are reasonable, future adjustment may be necessary if future economic conditions differ substantially from the economic assumptions used to determine the value of MSRs.
15

Servicing fee income, which is reported on the consolidated statements of operations in non-interest income as loan servicing fee income, is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of outstanding principal; or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned.
Goodwill and other intangible assets-The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other." The Company records the excess of the cost of acquired entities over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, as goodwill. On a periodic basis, management assesses whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the intangible assets may be impaired. Goodwill is not amortized but, instead, is subject to impairment tests on at least an annual basis, and more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. A reporting unit is defined as any distinct, separately identifiable component of the Company's one operating segment for which complete, discrete financial information is available and reviewed regularly by the segment's management. The Company has one reporting unit as of June 30, 2022, which is related to its banking activities. The impairment testing process is conducted by assigning net assets and goodwill to the Company's reporting unit. An initial qualitative evaluation is made to assess the likelihood of impairment and determine whether further quantitative testing to calculate the fair value is necessary. When the qualitative evaluation indicates that impairment is more likely than not, quantitative testing is required whereby the fair value of the Company's reporting unit is calculated and compared to the recorded book value, "step one." If the calculated fair value of the Company's reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and "step two" is not considered necessary. If the carrying value of the Company's reporting unit exceeds its calculated fair value, the impairment test continues ("step two") by comparing the carrying value of the Company's reporting unit's goodwill to the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized if the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill. The Company has performed the required goodwill impairment test and has determined that goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2021.
Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets, net -Assets acquired through foreclosure or repossession are initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, which establishes a new cost basis. If the fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure or repossession, a write-down is recorded through expense. Costs incurred after acquisition are expensed and are included in non-interest expense, other in the consolidated statements of operations.
New Markets Tax Credits - As a part of its commitment to the communities it serves, in the first quarter of 2022, the Company made an investment in an LLC that is sponsoring a community development project that has been awarded a New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) through the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund. This investment is Community Reinvestment Act eligible and is designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of the tax credit. This LLC is considered a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) as the Company represents the holder of the equity investment at risk, but does not have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the performance of the LLC. As such, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE and the LLC has not been consolidated. The investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting and is amortized through non-interest expense as the related tax credits are utilized. The utilization of the tax credit is recognized as a reduction in income tax expense.
As of June 30, 2022, the carrying amount of this investment, which is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, was $3,731. The risk of loss with this investment is limited to its carrying value and is tied to its ability to operate in compliance with the rules and regulations necessary for the qualification of the tax credit generated by the investment. As of June 30, 2022, there were no known instances of noncompliance associated with the investment.
Leases -We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. All of our existing leases have been determined to be operating leases under ASC 842. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease liabilities are included in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Lease expense is included in non-interest expense, occupancy in the consolidated statements of operations.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As none of our existing leases provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate, based on information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized based on the total contractually required lease payments, over the term of the lease, on a straight-line basis.
Debt and equity issuance costs-Debt issuance costs, which consist primarily of fees paid to note lenders, are deferred and included in other borrowings in the consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs with a Company call option that
16

originated prior to 2020 and senior note debt issuance costs, are amortized over the contractual term of the corresponding debt, as a component of interest expense on other borrowed funds in the consolidated statements of operations. Debt issuance costs that originated in 2020 and thereafter, are amortized through the first Company call option date of the corresponding debt, as a component of interest expense on other borrowed funds in the consolidated statements of operations. Specific costs associated with the issuance of shares of the Company's common or preferred stock are netted against proceeds and recorded in stockholders' equity, as additional paid in capital, on the consolidated balance sheets, in the period of the share issuance.
Advertising, Marketing and Public Relations Expense-The Company expenses all advertising, marketing and public relations costs as they are incurred.
Income Taxes -The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, "Income Taxes." Under this guidance, deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that will apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company regularly reviews the carrying amount of its net deferred tax assets to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary. If based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company's net deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods, a deferred tax valuation allowance would be established. Consideration is given to various positive and negative factors that could affect the realization of the deferred tax assets. In evaluating this available evidence, management considers, among other things, historical performance, expectations of future earnings, the ability to carry back losses to recoup taxes previously paid, the length of statutory carry forward periods, any experience with utilization of operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring, tax planning strategies and timing of reversals of temporary differences. Significant judgment is required in assessing future earnings trends and the timing of reversals of temporary differences. Accordingly, the Company's evaluation is based on current tax laws as well as management's expectations of future performance.
Revenue Recognition- The Company's primary source of revenue is interest income from interest earning assets, which is recognized on the accrual basis of accounting using the effective interest method. The recognition of revenues from interest earning assets is based upon formulas from underlying loan agreements, securities contracts or other similar contracts.
The Company accounts for revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." Topic 606 provides that revenue from contracts with customers be recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing service. The company does not have any materially significant payment terms as payment is received shortly after the satisfaction of the performance obligation. The non-interest income line items recognized under the scope of Topic 606 are as follows:
Service charges on deposit accounts - Service charges on accounts consist of monthly service fees, transaction-based fees, overdraft services and other deposit account related fees. The Company's performance obligation for monthly services fees is generally satisfied over the period in which the service is provided. Revenue for these monthly fees is recognized during the service period. Other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company's performance obligation is satisfied at the time the service is provided. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts are primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to a customer's account.
Interchange income - The Company earns interchange fees when cardholder debit card transaction are processed through card association networks. The interchange rates are generally set by the card association based upon purchase volumes and other factors. Interchange fees represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value. The Company has a continuous contract, based on customary business practices, with the card association networks to make funds available for settlement of card transactions. The Company's performance obligation is satisfied over time as it makes funds available, and the related income is recognized when received.
Gain (loss) on repossessed assets - The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of repossessed assets, when control of the property or asset transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed or sales agreement. When the company finances the sale of repossessed assets to a buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the repossessed asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded
17

upon transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain on sale or loss on the sale, the Company adjust the transaction price and related gain or loss on sale if a significant financing component is present.
Non-interest income outside of the scope of Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Topic 606 is recognized on the accrual basis of accounting as services are provided or as transactions occur. Non-interest income outside of the scope of Topic 606 includes mortgage banking activities, loan fees and service charges, net gains (losses) on investment securities, settlement proceeds, and other, which is primarily made up of BOLI related income.
Earnings Per Share -Basic earnings per common share is net income or loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable during the period, consisting of stock options outstanding under the Company's stock incentive plans that have an exercise price that is less than the Company's stock price on the reporting date.
Loss Contingencies-Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
Other Comprehensive Income -Accumulated and other comprehensive income or loss is comprised of the unrealized and realized gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of tax, and is shown on the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Operating Segments-While our executive officers monitor the revenue streams of the various banking products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company's banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
Reclassifications -Certain items previously reported were reclassified for consistency with the current presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements-The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issues Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). This section provides a summary description of recent ASUs that have potentially significant implications (elected or required) within the consolidated financial statements, or that management expects may have a significant impact on financial statements issued in the near future.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements-Adopted
ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting--These ASUs provide optional and temporary relief, in the form of optional expedients and exceptions, for applying GAAP to modifications of contacts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate (e.g. LIBOR) reforms. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are effective for the Company immediately and through December 31, 2022. The Company utilizes LIBOR, among other indexes, as a reference rate for underwriting variable rate loans. Reference rate reform has not had, nor does the Company expect it to have, a material effect on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, operations or cash flows.
Recently Issued, But Not Yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments--The ASU changes accounting for credit losses on loans receivable and debt securities from an incurred loss methodology to an expected credit loss methodology. Among other things, ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Accordingly, ASU 2016-13 requires the use of forward-looking information to form credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, though the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. In November, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which delayed the effective date for ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies, resulting in ASU 2016-13 becoming effective in the first quarter of 2023 for the Company. Earlier adoption is permitted; however, the Company elected not to adopt the ASU early. The Company has selected a loss estimation methodology, utilizing a third-party model, and is currently finalizing its process for model utilization. The impact of adoption on the financial condition and results of operations cannot yet be definitively determined due to the sensitivity of the model to various inputs and changing economic forecasts. The Company anticipates recording the effect of implementing this ASU through a cumulative-effect adjustment through retained earnings as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the ASU is effective, which will be January 1, 2023.

18

ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures - The ASU addresses and amends areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the accounting standard that introduced the current expected credit losses model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the current expected credit losses model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. As the Company has not yet adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13, ASU 2022-02 becomes effective in the first quarter of 2023. Management is assessing the impact that adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with its assessment of the impact of ASU 2016-13. The Company expects to adopt the guidance for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023.

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. As part of such monitoring, the credit quality of individual securities and their issuer is assessed. Significant inputs used to measure the amount of other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss include, but are not limited to; the Company's intent and ability to sell the debt security prior to recovery, that it is more likely than not that the Company will not sell the security prior to recovery, default and delinquency rates of the underlying collateral, remaining credit support, and historical loss severities. Adjustments to market value of available for sale securities that are considered temporary are recorded as separate components of stockholders' equity, net of tax. If the unrealized loss of a security is identified as other-than-temporary based on information available, such as the decline in the creditworthiness of the issuer, external market ratings, or the anticipated or realized elimination of associated dividends, such impairments are further analyzed to determine if credit loss exists. If there is a credit loss, it will be recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. Non-credit components of the unrealized losses on available for sale securities will continue to be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Unrealized losses reflected in the preceding tables have not been included in results of operations because the unrealized loss was not deemed other-than-temporary. Management has determined that more likely than not, the Company neither intends to sell, nor will it be required to sell each debt security before its anticipated recovery, and therefore recovery of cost will occur.

NOTE 3 - LOANS, ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND IMPAIRED LOANS
Portfolio Segments:
Commercial and agricultural real estate loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower's ability to operate profitably and prudently expand its business. Management examines current and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay its obligations as agreed. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally largely dependent on the successful operation of the property or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The level of owner-occupied property versus non-owner-occupied property are tracked and monitored on a regular basis. Agricultural real estate loans are primarily comprised of loans for the purchase of farmland. Loan-to-value ratios on loans secured by farmland generally do not exceed 75%.
Commercial and industrial ("C&I") loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. These cash flows, however, may not be as expected and the value of collateral securing the loans may fluctuate. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee. Agricultural operating loans are generally comprised of term loans to fund the purchase of equipment, livestock and seasonal operating lines. Operating lines are typically written for one year and secured by the crop and other farm assets or other business assets, as considered necessary. Agricultural loans carry significant credit risks as they may involve larger balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, repayment of such loans depends on the successful operation or management of the farm property securing the loan or for which an operating loan is utilized. Farming operations may be affected by adverse weather conditions such as drought, hail or floods that can severely limit crop yields. SBA PPP loan balances are 100% guaranteed under the Small Business Association's Paycheck Protection Program and may be forgiven in full, depending on use of funds and eligibility. These SBA-backed loans helped businesses keep their workforce employed during the COVID-19 crisis. Eligible borrowers, who qualify for full loan forgiveness during the eight to twenty four week period following loan disbursement, can apply for forgiveness, once all proceeds for which the borrower requested forgiveness has been used. Borrowers can apply for forgiveness any time up to the maturity date of the loan.
Residential mortgage loans are collateralized by primary and secondary positions on real estate and are underwritten primarily based on borrower's documented income, credit scores, and collateral values. Under consumer home equity loan guidelines, the borrower will be approved for a loan based on a percentage of their home's appraised value less the balance owed on the existing first mortgage. Credit risk is minimized within the residential mortgage portfolio due to relatively small loan account balances spread across many individual borrowers. Management evaluates trends in past due loans and current economic factors such as the housing price index on a regular basis.
Consumer installment loans are comprised of originated indirect paper loans secured primarily by boats and recreational vehicles and other consumer loans secured primarily by automobiles and other personal assets. Consumer loan underwriting terms often depend on the collateral type, debt to income ratio and the borrower's creditworthiness as evidenced by their credit score. In the event of a consumer installment loan default, collateral value alone may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. This shortage is a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss and depreciation for consumer based collateral.


23

Credit Quality/Risk Ratings:
Management utilizes a numeric risk rating system to identify and quantify the Bank's risk of loss within its loan portfolio. Ratings are initially assigned prior to funding the loan, and may be changed at any time as circumstances warrant.
Ratings range from the highest to lowest quality based on factors that include measurements of ability to pay, collateral type and value, borrower stability and management experience. The Bank's loan portfolio ratings are presented below in accordance with the risk rating framework that has been commonly adopted by the federal banking agencies. The definitions of the various risk rating categories are as follows:
1 through 4 - Pass. A "Pass" loan means that the condition of the borrower and the performance of the loan is satisfactory or better.
5 - Watch. A "Watch" loan has clearly identifiable developing weaknesses that deserve additional attention from management. Weaknesses that are not corrected or mitigated, may jeopardize the ability of the borrower to repay the loan in the future.
6 - Special Mention. A "Special Mention" loan has one or more potential weakness that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the institution's credit position in the future.
7 - Substandard. A "Substandard" loan is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Assets classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
8 - Doubtful. A "Doubtful" loan has all the weaknesses inherent in a Substandard loan with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
9 - Loss. Loans classified as "Loss" are considered uncollectible, and their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, and a partial recovery may occur in the future.

Allowance for Loan Losses- The ALL represents management's estimate of probable and inherent credit losses in the Bank's loan portfolio. Estimating the amount of the ALL requires the exercise of significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of other qualitative factors such as current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.
There are many factors affecting the ALL; some are quantitative, while others require qualitative judgment. The process for determining the ALL (which management believes adequately considers potential factors which result in probable credit losses), includes subjective elements and, therefore, may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provision for loan losses could be required that could adversely affect the Company's earnings or financial position in future periods. Allocations of the ALL may be made for specific loans but the entire ALL is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off or for which an actual loss is realized.
As an integral part of their examination process, various regulatory agencies also review the Bank's ALL. Such agencies may require that changes in the ALL be recognized when such regulators' credit evaluations differ from those of our management based on information available to the regulators at the time of their examinations.

Troubled Debt Restructuring -A TDR includes a loan modification where a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and the Bank grants a concession to that borrower that the Bank would not otherwise consider, except for the borrower's financial difficulties. Concessions may include: extension of the loan's term, renewals of existing balloon loans, reductions in interest rates and consolidating existing Bank loans at modified terms. A TDR may be either on accrual or nonaccrual status based upon the performance of the borrower and management's assessment of collectability. If a TDR is placed on nonaccrual status, it remains there until a sufficient period of performance under the restructured terms has occurred at which time it is returned to accrual status. There were four delinquent accruing TDR loans greater than 60 days past due, with a recorded investment of $463 at June 30, 2022, compared to one such loan with a recorded investment of $4 at December 31, 2021.
Following is a summary of TDR loans by accrual status as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The table below shows scheduled accretion by year for the accretable difference recognized due to fair value purchase accounting on recent whole bank acquisitions. In addition, the Company has $1.35 million of accretable discount from purchased impaired loans with the original non-accretable discount transferred to accretable discount. The scheduled accretion on this balance is estimated to be approximately $100 per year; however, large balance payoffs, as seen in 2021 and 2020, would accelerate this accretion.

The current period change in valuation allowance, if applicable, is included in non-interest expense as mortgage servicing rights expense, net on the consolidated statement of operations. Servicing fees totaled $352 and $352 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Servicing fees totaled $703 and $704 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Servicing fees are included in loan servicing income on the consolidated statement of operations. Late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are not material.
To estimate the fair value of the MSR asset, a valuation model is applied at the loan level to calculate the present value of the expected future cash flows. The valuation model incorporates various assumptions that would impact market participants' estimations of future servicing income. Central to the valuation model is the discount rate. Fair value at both June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, was determined using discount rates ranging from 9% to 12%. Other assumptions utilized in the valuation model include, but are not limited to, prepayment speed, servicing costs, delinquencies, costs of advances, foreclosure costs, ancillary income, and income earned on float and escrow.

NOTE 8 - CAPITAL MATTERS
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. Although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition, if adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At June 30, 2022, the Bank was categorized as "Well Capitalized", under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions.
The Bank's Tier 1 (leverage) and risk-based capital ratios at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, are presented below:

NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
ASC Topic 820-10, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The topic describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1- Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2- Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3- Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input within the valuation hierarchy that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair value of securities available for sale is determined by obtaining market price quotes from independent third parties wherever such quotes are available (Level 1 inputs); or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). Where such quotes are not available, we utilize independent third party valuation analysis to support our own estimates and judgments in determining fair value (Level 3 inputs).

The fair value of impaired loans referenced above was determined by obtaining independent third party appraisals and/or internally developed collateral valuations to support the Company's estimates and judgments in determining the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting impaired loans.
The fair value of foreclosed and repossessed assets was determined by obtaining market price valuations from independent third parties wherever such quotes were available for other collateral owned. The Company utilized independent third party appraisals to support the Company's estimates and judgments in determining fair value for other real estate owned.
The fair value of mortgage servicing rights was estimated using discounted cash flows based on current market rates and other factors.

GENERAL
The following discussion sets forth management's discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition as of June 30, 2022, and our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and the condensed notes thereto included with this report and with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the financial statements and notes related thereto included in our 2021 10-K. Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, other than share, per share and capital ratio amounts, are stated in thousands.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and their related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that our management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. Some of these estimates are more critical than others. In addition to the policies included in Note 1, "Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included as an exhibit in our annual report on our 2021 10-K, our critical accounting estimates are as follows:
Allowance for Loan Losses.
We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable and inherent losses in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the estimated probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan loss, we consider the types of loans and the amount of loans in our loan portfolio, historical loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions and other relevant factors determined by management. We follow all applicable regulatory guidance, including the "Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses," issued by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC). We believe that the Bank's Allowance for Loan Losses Policy conforms to all applicable regulatory requirements. However, based on periodic examinations by regulators, the amount of the allowance for loan losses recorded during a particular period may be adjusted.
Our determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on (1) specific allowances for specifically identified and evaluated impaired loans and their corresponding estimated loss based on likelihood of default, payment history, and net realizable value of underlying collateral. Specific allocations for collateral dependent loans are based on fair value of the underlying collateral relative to the unpaid principal balance of individually impaired loans. For loans that are not collateral dependent, the specific allocation is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate through the repayment period; and (2) a general allowance on loans not specifically identified in (1) above, based on historical loss ratios, which are adjusted for qualitative and general economic factors. We continue to refine our allowance for loan losses methodology, with an increased emphasis on historical performance adjusted for applicable economic and qualitative factors.
Assessing the allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective as it requires making material estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans, any of which estimates may be susceptible to significant change. In our opinion, the allowance, when taken as a whole, reflects estimated probable loan losses in our loan portfolio.
We will adopt ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" through a cumulative-effect adjustment on January 1, 2023. We have selected a loss estimation methodology, utilizing a third-party model, and are currently finalizing our process for model utilization. The impact of adoption on our financial condition and results of operations cannot yet be definitively determined due to the sensitivity of the model to various inputs and changing economic forecasts.

58

Goodwill.
We account for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other." The Company records the excess of the cost of acquired entities over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, as goodwill. The Company amortizes acquired intangible assets with definite useful economic lives over their useful economic lives utilizing the straight-line method. On a periodic basis, management assesses whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the intangible assets may be impaired. The Company does not amortize goodwill, but reviews goodwill for impairment at a reporting unit level on an annual basis, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may be impaired. A reporting unit is defined as any distinct, separately identifiable component of the Company's one operating segment for which complete, discrete financial information is available and reviewed regularly by the segment's management. The Company has one reporting unit as of June 30, 2022, which is related to its banking activities. The Company performed the required goodwill impairment test and determined that goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2021.
Fair Value Measurements and Valuation Methodologies.
We apply various valuation methodologies to assets and liabilities which often involve a significant degree of judgment, particularly when liquid markets do not exist for the particular items being valued. Quoted market prices are referred to when estimating fair values for certain assets, such as most investment securities. However, for those items for which an observable liquid market does not exist, management utilizes significant estimates and assumptions to value such items. Examples of these items include loans, deposits, borrowings, goodwill, core deposit intangible assets, other assets and liabilities obtained or assumed in business combinations, and certain other financial instruments. These valuations require the use of various assumptions, including, among others, discount rates, rates of return on assets, repayment rates, cash flows, default rates, and liquidation values. The use of different assumptions could produce significantly different results, which could have material positive or negative effects on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or disclosures of fair value information.
In addition to valuation, the Company must assess whether there are any declines in value below the carrying value of assets that should be considered other than temporary or otherwise require an adjustment in carrying value and recognition of a loss in the consolidated statement of operations. Examples include but are not limited to; loans, investment securities, goodwill, core deposit intangible assets and deferred tax assets, among others. Specific assumptions, estimates and judgments utilized by management are discussed in detail herein in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and in notes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 10 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Taxes.
Amounts provided for income tax expenses are based on income reported for financial statement purposes and do not necessarily represent amounts currently payable under tax laws. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which arise principally from temporary differences between the amounts reported in the financial statements and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, are included in the amounts provided for income taxes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and tax planning strategies which will create 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 if necessary, tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
The assessment of tax assets and liabilities involves the use of estimates, assumptions, interpretations, and judgments concerning certain accounting pronouncements and application of specific provisions of federal and state tax codes. There can be no assurance that future events, such as court decisions or positions of federal and state taxing authorities, will not differ from management's current assessment, the impact of which could be material to our consolidated results of operations and reported earnings. We believe that the deferred tax assets and liabilities are adequate and properly recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2022, management does not believe a valuation allowance related to the realizability of its deferred tax assets is necessary.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS ANALYSIS
Net Interest Income.Net interest income represents the difference between the dollar amount of interest earned on interest-bearing assets and the dollar amount of interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The interest income and expense of financial institutions (including those of the Bank) are significantly affected by general economic conditions, competition, policies of regulatory authorities and other factors.
Interest rate spread and net interest margin are used to measure and explain changes in net interest income. Interest rate spread is the difference between the yield on interest earning assets and the rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities that fund those assets. Net interest margin is expressed as the percentage of net interest income to average interest earning assets. Net interest margin currently exceeds interest rate spread because non-interest-bearing sources of funds ("net free funds"), principally demand deposits and stockholders' equity, also support interest earning assets. The narrative below discusses net interest income, interest rate spread, and net interest margin for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, respectively.
Net interest income was $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and $27.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, increased from the same period one year ago due to 1) both organic loan and investment growth from June 30, 2021; 2) the positive impact of nonaccrual loan payoffs and purchased loan credit impairment accretion; 3) increases in loan and investment yields due to both contractual repricing and higher coupons on new loans in excess of portfolio yield; and 4) lower liability costs. This was partially offset by $1.3 million and $2.8 million decreases in the accretion of deferred fees related to SBA Paycheck Protection Program ("SBA PPP") loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.
The net interest margin for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, was 3.46%, compared to 3.22% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. The net interest margin increase was due to 1) the positive impact of nonaccrual loan payoffs with purchased loan credit impairment accretion and interest income recognition of 10bp; 2) increases in loan and investment yields due to both contractual repricing and higher coupons on new loans in excess of portfolio yield; and 3) lower deposit costs, partially offset by 1) a 32-basis point decrease in SBA PPP deferred loan fee accretion in loan yields and 2) the impact of additional interest expense on the subordinated debt issued in March of 2022.
The net interest margin for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, was 3.35%, compared to 3.26% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The net interest margin increase was due to 1) the positive impact of nonaccrual loan payoffs with purchased loan credit impairment accretion and interest income recognition of 5bp ; 2) increases in loan and investment yields due to both contractual repricing and higher coupons on new loans in excess of portfolio yield; 3) lower deposit costs and 4) the positive impact of investing lower yield cash into investment securities; partially offset by a 35-basis point decrease in SBA PPP deferred loan fee accretion in loan yields and the impact of additional interest expense of the subordinated debt issued in March 2022.

Rate/Volume Analysis.The following tables presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the components of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that are presented in the preceding table. For each category of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to: (1) changes in volume, which are changes in the average outstanding balances multiplied by the prior period rate (i.e., holding the initial rate constant); and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in average interest rates multiplied by the prior period volume (i.e., holding the initial balance constant). Rate changes have been discussed previously in the net interest income section above. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in 2021, the loan volume increased due to strong organic growth. Investment securities volume increases are due to an increase in portfolio balances, largely due to purchases of mortgage-backed securities. The decrease in certificate volumes is due to CD shrinkage, with some of this decrease moving to money markets.

Provision for Loan Losses.We determine our provision for loan losses ("provision") based on our desire to provide an adequate allowance for loan losses ("ALL") to reflect probable and inherent credit losses in our loan portfolio. We continue to monitor adverse general economic conditions that could affect our commercial and agricultural portfolios in the future.
Total provision for loan losses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was $0.4 million, compared to no provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Based on loan growth alone, the provision would have been $0.950 million for the second quarter. However, upgrades in the classification of substandard loans due to improving collateral positions and loan payoffs, with $0.55 million of specific reserves at March 31, 2022, partially offset the growth-related provision. In addition, the majority of the second quarter charge-offs of $0.4 million had been provided for in previous quarters and the charge-offs reduced specific reserves. There were no loan loss provisions for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2021, or March 31, 2021. Continued improving economic conditions in our markets, as evidenced by unemployment rates below the national average in our two largest population centers, have resulted in improving overall economic trends for businesses.
Note that in discussing ALL allocations, the entire ALL balance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged off. The ALL and related need for no provision was due to loan shrinkage and low net charge-offs in the previous quarter.
Management believes that the provision recorded for the current year three and six-month period is adequate in view of the present condition of our loan portfolio and the sufficiency of collateral supporting our non-performing loans. We continually monitor non-performing loan relationships and will adjust our provision, as necessary, if changing facts and circumstances require a change in the ALL. In addition, a decline in the quality of our loan portfolio as a result of general economic conditions, factors affecting particular borrowers or our market areas, or otherwise, could all affect the adequacy of our ALL. If there are significant charge-offs against the ALL, or we otherwise determine that the ALL is inadequate, we will need to record an additional provision in the future.

Total non-interest income $ 2,372 $ 3,793 (37.46) % $ 5,085 $ 7,969 (36.19) %
Service charges on deposit accounts increased to $482 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $395 for the prior year quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, service charges increased to $970, compared to $793 in the comparable prior year period. The increase for both periods is due to higher customer spending activity.
Loan servicing income decreased with reduced capitalization of mortgage servicing rights due to lower mortgage loan origination fees in both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Gain on sale of loans decreased in the current three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, due to lower mortgage loan origination volumes.
The change in loan fees and service charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, is largely due to decreases in commercial loan-related customer activity.
The change in net gains (losses) on investment securities between the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, is primarily due to unrealized losses on equity securities with readily determinable fair value in 2022 and modest realized gain on sale of available for sale securities in 2021. The change in net gains (losses) on investment securities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, is primarily due to the corresponding changes in unrealized gains on equity securities with readily determinable fair value and to a lesser extent, the realized gain on sale of AFS securities in the second quarter of 2021.

Non-interest expense (annualized) / Average assets 2.38 % 2.41 % (1.24) % 2.31 % 2.34 % (1.28) %
Compensation expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, was higher than the comparable prior year period primarily due to merit and benefit increases in late March of 2022, partially offset by lower variable mortgage compensation related to lower mortgage activity. Compensation expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, was lower than the comparable prior year periods due to lower variable mortgage production compensation related to lower mortgage loan origination activity, partially offset by the impact of the merit raise in 2022.
Net mortgage servicing rights expense decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the comparable prior year period as amortization expense decreased, resulting largely from the impact of lower future forecasted prepayment rates and the quarter ended June 30, 2021, had $23 thousand of impairment reversal. Amortization expense decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, by $469 thousand. This was partially offset by a decrease in MSR impairment reversals for the six months ended June 30, 2022, of $566 thousand, compared to the comparable prior year period reversal of $912 thousand.
The FDIC insurance premium increased during the three months ended June 30, 2022, from the comparable prior year periods due to an increase in the assessment base. The FDIC insurance premium decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2022, from the comparable prior year periods due to the favorable impact of increased bank capital ratios.
Professional services costs decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2022, from the comparable prior year period due to the need for fewer outside professionals, primarily in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, due to lower fees from our independent registered public accounting firm and other costs to prepare our Form 10-K.
Net gains on repossessed assets decreased due to fewer and lower value repossessed property sales resulting in lower corresponding gains on sale.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Bank invested $4.1 million in a New Market Tax Credit. Based on current accounting guidance, the related non-tax-deductible asset depletion will occur over a 5-year period in lockstep with the recognition of the tax credit. The Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board is in the process of reviewing this accounting and is expected to issue guidance that would change the depletion to seven years proportional with the tax credit.
Income Taxes.Income tax expense was $1.4 and $2.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $1.7 and $3.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The effective tax rate was 24.4% and 24.3% for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, compared to 26.8% and 26.4% for the comparable prior year periods. The lower effective tax rate is due to the impact of the New Market Tax Credit. The lower tax expense is due to both the lower effective tax rate and lower pre-tax income.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Our cash balances decreased $15.9 million to $31.7 million in the first half of 2022 as we deployed cash to support loan growth.
Investment Securities.We manage our securities portfolio to provide liquidity and enhance income. Our investment portfolio is comprised of securities available for sale and securities held to maturity.
Securities available for sale, which represent the majority of our investment portfolio, were $177.1 million at June 30, 2022, compared with $203.1 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in the available for sale portfolio is due to unrealized losses of $17.2 million and principal repayments, partially offset by purchases of corporate debt securities and mortgage-backed certificates.
Securities held to maturity increased to $99.2 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $71.1 million at December 31, 2021. This increase was largely due to the purchase of agency mortgage-backed securities, net of repayments. The unrealized loss on the held to maturity portfolio increased by $12.5 million in the first half of 2022, to $14.5 million.

Allowance for Loan Losses.The loan portfolio is our primary asset subject to credit risk. To address this credit risk, we maintain an ALL for probable and inherent credit losses through periodic charges to our earnings. These charges are shown in our consolidated statements of operations as PLL. See "Provision for Loan Losses" earlier in this quarterly report. We attempt to control, monitor, and minimize credit risk through the use of prudent lending standards, a thorough review of potential borrowers prior to lending and ongoing and timely review of payment performance. Asset quality administration, including early identification of loans performing in a substandard manner, as well as timely and active resolution of problems, further enhances management of credit risk and minimization of loan losses. Any losses that occur and that are charged off against the ALL are periodically reviewed with specific efforts focused on achieving maximum recovery of both principal and interest.
At least quarterly, we review the adequacy of the ALL. Based on an estimate computed pursuant to the requirements of ASC 450-10, "Accounting for Contingencies" and ASC 310-10, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", the analysis of the ALL consists of three components: (i) specific credit allocation established for expected losses relating to specific impaired loans for which the recorded investment in the loan exceeds its fair value; (ii) general portfolio allocation based on historical loan loss experience for significant loan categories; and (iii) general portfolio allocation based on qualitative factors such as economic conditions and other relevant factors specific to the markets in which we operate. We continue to refine our ALL methodology by introducing a greater level of granularity to our loan portfolio. We currently segregate loans into pools based on common risk characteristics for purposes of determining the ALL. The additional segmentation of the portfolio is intended to provide a more effective basis for the determination of qualitative factors affecting our ALL. In addition, management continually evaluates our ALL methodology to assess whether modifications in our methodology are appropriate in light of underwriting practices, market conditions, identifiable trends, regulatory pronouncements or other factors. We believe that any modifications or changes to the ALL methodology would be to enhance the ALL. However, any such modifications could result in materially different ALL levels in future periods.
The specific credit allocation for the ALL is based on a regular analysis of all loans that are considered impaired. In compliance with ASC 310-10, the fair value of the loan is determined based on either the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the market price of the loan, or, if the loan is collateral dependent, the fair value of the underlying collateral less the expected cost of sale for such collateral. At June 30, 2022, the Company individually evaluated loans for impairment with a recorded investment of $29.4 million, consisting of (1) $8.5 million purchased credit impaired ("PCI") loans, with a carrying amount of $8.1 million; (2) $7.1 million TDR loans, net of TDR PCI loans; and (3) $14.2 million of substandard non-TDR, non-PCI loans. The $29.4 million total of loans individually evaluated for impairment includes $6.0 million of performing TDR loans. At December 31, 2021, the Company individually evaluated loans for impairment with a recorded investment of $31.7 million, consisting of (1) $11.2 million PCI loans, with a carrying amount of $10.6 million; (2) $9.9 million TDR loans, net of TDR PCI loans; and (3) $11.3 million of substandard non-TDR, non-PCI loans. The $31.7 million total of loans individually evaluated for impairment includes $8.0 million of performing TDR loans. At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we had 201 and 235 loans individually evaluated for impairment, respectively, all secured by real estate or personal property. Of the originated loans individually evaluated for impairment, there were 43 loans where the estimated fair value was less than their book value (i.e., we deemed impairment to exist) totaling $5.5 million for which $0.26 million in specific ALL was recorded as of June 30, 2022.
The allowance for loan losses modestly decreased $0.1 million to $16.8 million at June 30, 2022, representing 1.25% of loans receivable. A portion of the current loan portfolio includes loans purchased through whole bank acquisitions in recent years resulting in purchased credit impairments which are not included in the allowance for loan losses. As the originated portfolio grows and the acquired portfolio shrinks, the percentage of originated loans to total loans grows, as does the overall percentage of the allowance to total loans. The allowance for loan losses was $16.9 million at December 31, 2021, representing
70

1.30% of loans receivable, less the 100% SBA guaranteed PPP loans. The decrease in the allowance at June 30, 2022, was due to net loan charge-offs, partially offset by a provision of $0.4 million. Approximately $350 thousand of the charge-offs in the second quarter had specific reserves previously established, so there was no impact on the provision for loan losses.

ALL to loans, end of period 1.25 % 1.29 %
All of the nine factors identified in the FFIEC's Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses are taken into account in determining the ALL. The impact of the factors in general categories are subject to change; thus, the allocations are management's estimate of the loan loss categories in which the probable and inherent loss has occurred as of the date of our assessment. Of the nine factors, we believe the following have the greatest impact on our customers' ability to repay loans and our ability to recover potential losses through collateral sales: (1) lending policies and procedures; (2) economic and business conditions; and (3) the value of the underlying collateral. As loan balances and estimated losses in a particular loan type decrease or increase and as the factors and resulting allocations are monitored by management, changes in the risk profile of the various parts of the loan portfolio may be reflected in the allocated allowance. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for these and other qualitative factors. In addition, management continues to refine the ALL estimation process as new information becomes available. These refinements could also cause increases or decreases in the ALL. See Provision for loan losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations (unaudited) for further details. The unallocated portion of the ALL is intended to account for imprecision in the estimation process or relevant current information that may not have been considered in the process.
Nonperforming Loans, Potential Problem Loans and Foreclosed Properties.We practice early identification of nonaccrual and problem loans in order to minimize the Bank's risk of loss. Nonperforming loans are defined as nonaccrual loans and restructured loans that were 90 days or more past due at the time of their restructure, or when management determines that such classification is warranted. The accrual of interest income is discontinued on our loans according to the following schedule:
•Commercial/agricultural real estate loans, past due 90 days or more;
•C&I/Agricultural operating loans, past due 90 days or more;
•Closed ended consumer installment loans, past due 120 days or more; and
•Residential mortgage loans and open-ended consumer installment loans, past due 180 days or more.
When interest accruals are discontinued, interest credited to income is reversed. If collection is in doubt, cash receipts on non-accrual loans are used to reduce principal rather than being recorded as interest income. A TDR typically involves the granting of some concession to the borrower involving a loan modification, such as modifying the payment schedule or making interest rate changes. TDR loans may involve loans that have had a charge-off taken against the loan to reduce the carrying amount of the loan to fair market value as determined pursuant to ASC 310-10.

Nonperforming loans decreased by $0.7 million to $11.1 million at June 30, 2022, from December 31, 2021. This decrease is largely due to payoffs of acquired nonaccrual loans, partially offset by increases in originated nonaccrual loans and originated accruing loans past due 90 days or more. Nonperforming assets decreased to $12.6 million or 0.71% of total assets at June 30, 2022, compared to $13.2 million, or 0.76% of total assets at December 31, 2021. Included in nonperforming assets at June 30, 2022, are $4.1 million of nonperforming assets acquired during recent whole-bank acquisitions.
Refer to the "Allowance for Loan Losses" and "Nonperforming Loans, Potential Problem Loans and Foreclosed Properties" sections above for more information related to nonperforming loans.
Included in the above table are nonaccrual TDR loans. Nonaccrual TDR loans decreased to $2.5 million at June 30, 2022, from $4.5 million at December 31, 2021.

Classified assets decreased to $20.7 million at June 30, 2022, from $22.8 million at December 31, 2021, largely due to non-accruing loan payoffs, along with the first quarter payoff of a substandard accruing troubled debt restructuring loan of $3.3 million partially offset by the new classification of $3.8 million of five agricultural relationships in the first quarter.
Special mention loans increased $15.4 million in the quarter, primarily due to the addition of two loans in the second quarter of 2022. One is a commercial real estate loan for $5.4 million secured by a hotel (50% LTV at origination) and has rebounded more slowly from the pandemic due to reliance on seasonal events and company meetings. Performance year to date and bookings show good progress. The second special mention loan is a $10.4 million C&I fully secured working capital loan. Negotiations are ongoing with the borrower to improve the loan structure and cash flow of the business.
Hotels and restaurants represent our portfolio's two industry sectors most directly and adversely affected by the recent pandemic and related government actions. These sector loans totaled approximately $97 million and $48 million, respectively, at June 30, 2022. The weighted-average loan-to-value percentage and debt service coverage ratio on these hotel industry sector loans were 61% and 2.6 times, respectively. Approximately $35.0 million of restaurant sector loans are to franchise quick-service restaurants.
As of June 30, 2022, the Bank had $0.4 million of remaining residential mortgage loan modifications, due to pandemic-related borrower requests. As of June 30, 2022, all previously deferred commercial loans have exited deferral status. While the Company has no indication that any of the modified credits are specifically impaired, additional risk and uncertainty inherent in the current pandemic-affected environment have been considered. See "Allowance for Loan Losses" section above for discussion of pandemic-related qualitative factor, and related provision for loan losses.
Accretable difference:
The table below shows scheduled accretion by year for the accretable difference recognized due to fair value purchase accounting on recent whole bank acquisitions. In addition, the Company has $1.35 million of accretable discount from purchased impaired loans with the original non-accretable discount transferred to accretable discount. The scheduled accretion on this balance is estimated to be approximately $100 thousand per year; however, large balance payoffs, as seen in 2021 and 2020, would accelerate this accretion.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. Mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") assets are initially measured at fair value; assessed at least quarterly for impairment; carried at the lower of the initial capitalized amount, net of accumulated amortization, or estimated fair value. MSR assets are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income, with the amortization recorded in non-interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The valuation of MSRs and related amortization thereon are based on numerous factors, assumptions, and judgments, such as those for: changes in the mix of loans, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and default rates. Changes in these factors, assumptions and judgments may have a material effect on the valuation and amortization of MSRs. Although management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate the MSRs for impairment are reasonable, future adjustment may be necessary if future economic conditions differ substantially from the economic assumptions used to determine the value of MSRs.
The fair market value of the Company's MSR asset increased from $4.3 million at December 31, 2021, to $5.5 million at June 30, 2022, primarily due to higher future forecasted interest rates and resulting lower forecasted prepayments. As a result, $0.6 million of previously recorded impairment on the MSR asset was reversed during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. At June 30, 2022, the Company did not have an MSR impairment, or related valuation allowance.
The unpaid balances of one- to four-family residential real estate loans serviced for others as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were $544.7 million and $556.1 million, respectively. The fair market value of the Company's MSR asset as a percentage of its servicing portfolio at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, was 1.01% and 0.78%, respectively.
Deposits. Deposits increased $12.7 million to $1.40 billion at June 30, 2022, from $1.39 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase was due in part to seasonal factors related to taxes and two large retail and one large commercial deposit. These
75

large deposits totaling $19 million are approximately evenly split between retail and commercial deposits and are expected to decrease substantially over the next three quarters. This growth was partially offset by retail certificate of deposit account balances decreasing by $49.5 million from December 31, 2021, as the Company chose not to match higher rate local retail certificate competition. In addition, some of the decrease in retail certificates has moved to money market accounts.
The following is a summary of deposits by type at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively:

(1) The FHLB advances bear fixed rates, require interest-only monthly payments, and are collateralized by a blanket lien on pre-qualifying first mortgages, home equity lines, multi-family loans and certain other loans which had a pledged balance of $920,774 and $861,900 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. At June 30, 2022, the Bank's available and unused portion under the FHLB borrowing arrangement was approximately $230,585 compared to $204,271 as of December 31, 2021.
(2) Maximum month-end borrowed amounts outstanding under this borrowing agreement were $111,530 and $123,530, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, respectively.
(3) The weighted-average interest rate on FHLB borrowings maturing within twelve months as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were 1.66% and 2.45%, respectively.
(4) At June 30, 2022, FHLB term notes totaling $27,500 can be called or replaced by the FHLB on a quarterly basis, and if not called, will mature at various dates in 2029. At December 31, 2021, FHLB term notes totaling $55,000 could be called or replaced by the FHLB on a quarterly basis, and if not called, would mature at various dates in 2029 and 2030.
(5) Senior notes, entered into by the Company in June 2019 consist of the following:
(a) A term note, which was subsequently refinanced in March 2022, requiring quarterly interest-only payments through March 2025, and quarterly principal and interest payments thereafter. Interest is variable, based on US Prime rate minus 75 basis points with a floor rate of 3.00%.
(b) A $5,000 line of credit, maturing August 1, 2022, that remains undrawn upon. The line was renewed on August 1, 2022 and will mature on August 1, 2023.
77

(6) Subordinated notes resulted from the following:
(a) The Company's private sale in August 2017, which bears a fixed interest rate of 6.75% for five years. In August 2022, they convert to a three-month LIBOR plus 4.90% rate, and the interest rate will reset quarterly thereafter. The note is callable by the Bank when, and anytime after, the floating rate is initially set. Interest-only payments are due quarterly. The company sent the required notice to the note holders in June 2022, and this subordinated note will be called and repaid in full on August 10, 2022.
(b) The Company's Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement entered into with certain purchasers in August 2020, which bears a fixed interest rate of 6.00% for five years. In September 2025, the fixed interest rate will be reset quarterly to equal the three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 591 basis points. The note is callable by the Bank when, and anytime after, the floating rate is initially set. Interest-only payments are due semi-annually each year during the fixed interest period and quarterly during the floating interest period.
(c) The Company's Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement entered into with certain purchasers in March 2022, which bears a fixed interest rate of 4.75% for five years. In April 2027, the fixed interest rate will be reset quarterly to equal the three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 329 basis points. The note is callable by the Bank when, and anytime after, the floating rate is initially set. Interest-only payments are due semi-annually each year during the fixed interest period and quarterly during the floating interest period.
FHLB advances decreased $9.5 million to $102.0 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to $111.5 million as of December 31, 2021. The Bank terminated $15.0 million of advances in the quarter ended March 31, 2022, incurring a $0.002 million prepayment penalty, as we modestly reduced excess liquidity. In the quarter ended June 30, 2022, $27.5 million of FHLB advances were called by the FHLB. The remaining callable term notes are expected to be called in the third quarter of 2022. The Bank added a $5 million advance maturing in the second quarter of 2023 and the Bank had $34 million of FHLB advances maturing overnight. The Bank has an irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit Master Reimbursement Agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank. This irrevocable standby letter of credit ("LOC") is supported by loan collateral as an alternative to directly pledging investment securities on behalf of a municipal customer as collateral for their interest-bearing deposit balances. The Bank's current unused borrowing capacity, supported by loan collateral as of June 30, 2022, is approximately $190.4 million.
See Note 7, "Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Advances and Other Borrowings" for more information.
At June 30, 2022, the Bank has pledged $920.8 million of loans to secure the current FHLB outstanding advances and letters of credit and to provide the unused borrowing capacity, compared to $861.9 million of loans pledged at December 31, 2021.
Stockholders' Equity. Total stockholders' equity was $164.7 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $170.9 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in stockholder's equity was attributable to 1) the $12.4 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income due to an increase in unrealized loss on available for sale securities; 2) the payment of the annual cash dividend paid in February to common stockholders of $0.26 per share or $2.7 million, and 3) the repurchase of approximately 18 thousand shares of the Company's common stock, which reduced equity by $0.3 million. These reductions to equity were partially offset by net income of $9.1 million.
The Company repurchased all remaining authorized shares of the Company's stock under the November 2020 share repurchase program during the three months ended September 30, 2021. On July 23, 2021, the Board of Directors adopted a new share repurchase program. Under this new share repurchase program, no shares were repurchased during the current quarter and approximately eighteen thousand shares were repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company is authorized to repurchase an additional 354 thousand shares under this July 2021 share repurchase program.
Liquidity and Asset / Liability Management. Our primary sources of funds are deposits; contractual amortization, prepayments, and maturities of outstanding loans and investment securities; and borrowings. We use our sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments, to pay non-renewing, maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, and to fund loan commitments. We have enhanced our liquidity monitoring and updated what we consider to be sources of on-balance sheet cash. We consider our interest-bearing cash and unpledged investment securities to be our sources of on-balance sheet liquidity. At June 30, 2022, our on-balance sheet liquidity ratio was 14.7%. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and investment securities and maturing short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are influenced by factors partially outside of the Bank's control, including general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Although $101.2 million of our $153.5 million (65.9%) June 30, 2022, CD portfolio matures within the next 12 months, we have historically retained a majority of our maturing CDs. Due to strategic pricing
78

decisions regarding rate matching based on currently liquidity levels, our retention rate may decrease in the future, although some deposits may be retained and moved to money market accounts. At June 30, 2022, the Bank had approximately $65.1 million of certificate of deposit accounts maturing in the second half of 2022, with a weighted average cost of approximately 0.67%. Through new deposit product offerings to our branch and commercial customers, we are currently attempting to strengthen customer relationships to attract additional non-rate sensitive deposits. In our present interest rate environment, and based on maturing yields, this is intended to also reduce our cost of funds.
We maintain access to additional sources of funds including FHLB borrowings and lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank and correspondent banks. We utilize FHLB borrowings to leverage our capital base, to provide funds for our lending and investment activities, and to manage our interest rate risk. Our borrowing arrangement with the FHLB calls for pledging certain qualified real estate loans and borrowing up to 75% of the value of those loans, not to exceed 35% of the Bank's total assets. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $230.6 million available under this arrangement, supported by loan collateral, as compared to $204.2 million at December 31, 2021.
We maintain a line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank which has a $1.0 million capacity, based on our current pledged collateral position. Additionally, we have $25.0 million of uncommitted federal funds purchased lines of credit, as well as a $5.0 million revolving line of credit which is available as needed for general liquidity purposes.
In reviewing our adequacy of liquidity, we review and evaluate historical financial information, including information regarding general economic conditions, current ratios, management goals and the resources available to meet our anticipated liquidity needs. Management believes that our liquidity is adequate. To management's knowledge, there are no known events or uncertainties that will result, or are likely to reasonably result, in a material increase or decrease in our liquidity.
Off-Balance Sheet Liabilities. Some of our financial instruments have off-balance sheet risk. These instruments include unused commitments for lines of credit, overdraft protection lines of credit and home equity lines of credit, as well as commitments to extend credit. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $257.5 million in unused commitments, compared to $271.0 million in unused commitments as of December 31, 2021.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our Risk When Interest Rates Change. The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time and are not predictable or controllable. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. Like other financial institutions, our interest income and interest expense are affected by general economic conditions and policies of regulatory authorities, including the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is our most significant market risk.
How We Measure Our Risk of Interest Rate Changes. As part of our attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we monitor our interest rate risk through several means including through the use of third party reporting software. In monitoring interest rate risk we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities, and their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates.
In order to manage the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged increases in interest rates on our results of operations, we adopted asset and liability management policies to better align the maturities and re-pricing terms of our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. These policies are implemented by our Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO). The ALCO is comprised of members of the Bank's senior management and Board of Directors. The ALCO establishes guidelines for and monitors the volume and mix of our assets and funding sources, taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs. The Committee's objectives are to manage assets and funding sources to produce results that are consistent with liquidity, cash flow, capital adequacy, growth, risk and profitability goals for the Bank. The ALCO meets on a regularly scheduled basis to review, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate risk exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to net present value of portfolio equity analysis. At each meeting, the Committee recommends strategy changes, as appropriate, based on this review. The Committee is responsible for reviewing and reporting on the effects of the policy implementations and strategies to the Bank's Board of Directors on a regularly scheduled basis.

In managing our assets and liabilities to achieve desired levels of interest rate risk, we have focused our strategies on:
•originating shorter-term secured commercial, agricultural and consumer loan maturities;
•originating variable rate commercial and agricultural loans;
•the sale of a vast majority of longer-term fixed-rate residential loans in the secondary market with retained servicing;
•managing our funding needs growing core deposits;
•utilize brokered certificate of deposits and borrowings as appropriate, which may have fixed rates with varying maturities;
•purchasing investment securities to modify our interest rate risk profile.
At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the ALCO may determine to increase the Bank's interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain or improve its net interest margin.

The following table sets forth, at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the estimated changes in Economic Value of Equity ("EVE") resulting from an immediate and permanent shift in the yield curve (up 300 basis points and down 100 basis points). As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, due to the current level of interest rates, EVE estimates for decreases in interest rates greater than 100 basis points are not meaningful.
Percent Change in Economic Value of Equity (EVE)
Change in Interest Rates in Basis Points ("bp")
Rate Shock in Rates (1) 		At June 30, 2022 At December 31, 2021
+300 bp 4 % (5) %
+200 bp 2 % (3) %
+100 bp 1 % (1) %
-100 bp (3) % (1) %
(1)Assumes an immediate and parallel shift in the yield curve at all maturities.
Our overall interest rate sensitivity is demonstrated by net interest income shock analysis which measures the change in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis assesses the risk of change in our net interest income over the next 12 months in the event of an immediate and parallel shift in the yield curve (up 300 basis points and down 100 basis points). The table below presents our projected change in net interest income for the various rate shock levels at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
Percent Change in Net Interest Income Over One Year Horizon
Change in Interest Rates in Basis Points ("bp")
Rate Shock in Rates (1) 		At June 30, 2022 At December 31, 2021
+300 bp 1 % (11) %
+200 bp 1 % (7) %
+100 bp - % (4) %
-100 bp (2) % - %
(1)Assumes an immediate and parallel shift in the yield curve at all maturities.
Note: The table above may not be indicative of future results.
The assumptions used to measure and assess interest rate risk include interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay (runoff) rates, and the market values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios. Actual values may differ from those projections set forth above should market conditions vary from the assumptions used in preparing the analysis. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates.


ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have designed our disclosure controls and procedures to reach a level of reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. We carried out an evaluation as of June 30, 2022, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the

design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022 at reaching a level of reasonable assurance.

There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company's most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
