and, if applicable, State laws and regulations pertaining to dividend restrictions; and the report on management's assessment 
of internal control over financial reporting: First Bankers Trust Company, N.A.  

Statement of Management's Responsibilities  

The management of the Company is responsible for preparing the Company's annual financial statements in accordance 
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; for establishing and maintaining an adequate 
internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting, including controls over the preparation of regulatory financial 
statements in accordance with the instructions for the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies (Form 
FR  Y-9C);  and  for  complying  with  the  Federal  laws  and  regulations  pertaining  to  insider  loans  and  the  Federal  and,  if 
applicable, state laws and regulations pertaining to dividend restrictions.  

Management's Assessment of Compliance with Designated Laws and Regulations  

The management of the Company has assessed the Company's compliance with the Federal laws and regulations pertaining 
to insider loans and the Federal and, if applicable, state laws and regulations pertaining to dividend restrictions during the 
fiscal year that ended on December 31, 2022. Based upon its assessment, management has concluded that the Company 
complied with the Federal laws and regulations pertaining to insider loans and the Federal and, if applicable, state laws and 
regulations pertaining to dividend restrictions during the fiscal year that ended on December 31, 2022.  

Management's Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting  

The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process effected by those charged with governance, management 
and  other  personnel,  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the 
preparation of reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 
of  America  and  financial  statements  for  regulatory  reporting  purposes,  i.e.,  instructions  for  the  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements for Bank Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C). The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes 
those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly 
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions 
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America and financial statements for regulatory reporting purposes, and that receipts and 
expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the 
Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and correction of unauthorized 
acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.  

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent,  or  detect  and  correct 
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may 
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures 
may deteriorate.  

Management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  including 
controls over the preparation of regulatory financial statements. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  including  controls  over  the  preparation  of  regulatory  financial  statements  in 
accordance with the instructions for the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C), as 
of December 31, 2022, based on the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework in 2013. Based upon its assessment, management has concluded 
that, as of December 31,2022, the Company's internal control over financial reporting, including controls over the preparation 
of regulatory financial statements in accordance with the instructions for the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank 
Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C), is effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework 
issued in 2013.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis  
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

Introduction 
The  following  discussion  of  the  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations of First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. provides an analysis of 
the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  focuses  upon  those 
factors  which  had  a  significant  influence  on  the  overall  2022 
performance.   

The  discussion  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Company’s 
consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto  appearing 
elsewhere in this Annual Report.  

The Company was incorporated on August 25, 1988, and acquired 
First Midwest Bank/M.C.N.A. (the Bank) on June 30, 1989. The Bank 
acquisition was accounted for using purchase accounting. Prior to the 
acquisition  of  the  Bank,  the  Company  did  not  engage  in  any 
significant business activities.  

Financial Management 
The  business  of  the  Company  is  that  of  a  community-oriented 
financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the 
needs of the communities it serves. 

The  Company  attracts  deposits  from  the  general  public  and  uses 
such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to originate 
one-to-four  family  residential  mortgage  loans,  consumer  loans, 
business loans and agricultural loans in its primary market area. The 
Company also invests in investment securities consisting primarily of 
U.S. government or agency obligations, mortgage-backed securities, 
financial institution certificates of deposit, and other liquid assets.  

The Company’s goal is to achieve consistently high levels of earning 
assets and loan/deposit ratios while maintaining effective expense 
control and high customer service levels. The term “high level” means 
the  ability  to  profitably  increase  earning  assets.  As  deposits  have 
become  fully  deregulated,  sustained  earnings  enhancement  has 
focused  on  “earning  asset”  generation.  The  Company  will  focus  on 
lending  money  profitably,  controlling  credit  quality,  net  interest 
margin,  operating  expenses  and  on  generating  fee  income  from 
banking operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis 
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

At December 31, 2022, the Company had assets of $1,118,117,000         
compared to $1,226,137,000 at December 31, 2021. The decrease 
in  assets  is  primarily  made  up  of  a  decrease  in  securities  of 
$183,846,000 (27.56%) and a decrease in cash due from banks of 
$18,609,000 (40.48%).      These assets were partially used to fund 
an increase in net loans of $73,513,000 (15.74%) and an increase 
in  other  assets  of  $21,777,000  (49.16%).    The  decrease  in 
securities, along with the increase in borrowings of $38,677,000 was 
also used to fund the decline in deposits of $65,073,000 (6.65%) as 
well as the decline in short-term borrowings of $34,472,000.  

Approximately  $45,082,000  of  fixed  rate  long-term  residential  real 
estate loans were sold in the secondary market during 2022, while 
$51,935,000  were  sold  in  2021.  Agricultural  real  estate  loans 
totaling  approximately  $5,422,000  were  sold  in  the  secondary 
market  during  2022,  while  $3,573,000  were  sold 
in  2021. 
Management continues to place emphasis on the quality versus the 
quantity of the credits placed in the portfolio. 

Results of Operations Summary 
The  Company’s  earnings  are  primarily  dependent  on  net  interest 
income,  the  difference  between  interest  income  and  interest 
expense.  Interest  income  is  a  function  of  the  balances  of  loans, 
securities and other interest earning assets outstanding during the 
period  and  the  yield  earned  on  such  assets.  Interest  expense  is  a 
function  of  the  balances  of  deposits  and  borrowings  outstanding 
during  the  same  period  and  the  rates  paid  on  such  deposits  and 
borrowings. The Company’s earnings are also affected by provisions 
for  loan  losses,  service  charges,  other  non-interest  income,  and 
expense and income taxes. Non-interest expense consists primarily 
of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment 
expenses and general and administrative expenses. 

Consolidated Income Summary (Amounts in Thousands of Dollars) 

Prevailing  economic  conditions  as  well  as  federal  regulations 
concerning monetary and fiscal policies as they pertain to financial 
institutions  significantly  affect  the  Company.  Deposit  balances  are 
influenced  by  a  number  of  factors  including  interest  rates  paid  on 
competing  personal  investments  and  the  level  of  personal  income 
and  savings  within  the  institution’s  market.  In  addition,  growth  of 
deposit  balances  is  influenced  by  the  perceptions  of  customers 
regarding  the  stability  of  the  financial  services  industry.  Lending 
activities are influenced by the demand for housing, competition from 
other lending institutions, as well as interest rate levels. The primary 
sources  of  funds  for  lending  activities  include  deposits,  loan 
payments, borrowings and funds provided from operations. 

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022,  the  Company  reported 
consolidated  net  income  of  $8,823,000,  a  $653,000  (7.99%) 
increase  from  2021.  Net  interest  income  increased  $3,525,000 
(14.61%),  other  income  decreased  $1,289,000  (15.48%),  other 
expenses increased $1,364,000 (5.99%), and income tax expense 
increased  $139,000  (6.61%).    The  provision  for  loan  losses 
decreased $80,000 (13.79%). 

Analysis of Net Income 
The  Company’s  assets  are  primarily  comprised  of  interest  earning 
assets including commercial, agricultural, consumer and real estate 
loans,  as  well  as  federal  funds  sold,  interest  bearing  deposits  in 
securities.  Average  earning  assets  equaled 
banks  and 
$1,140,052,000  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022.  A 
combination  of  interest  bearing  and  non-interest  bearing  deposits, 
securities sold under agreement to repurchase, other borrowings and 
capital funds are employed to finance these assets.

The yield on average earning assets for the year ended December 31, 
2022 was 2.73%, while the average cost of funds for the same period 
was 0.38% on average interest bearing liabilities of $913,383,000. 
The yield on average earning assets for the year ended December 31, 
2021 was 2.35%, while the average cost of funds for the same period 
was 0.30% on average interest bearing liabilities of $913,705,000.  

The increase in net interest income of $3,525,000 can be attributed 
to the 0.38% increase in the yield on average earning assets, and an 
increase of $36,686,000 in average gross loans.   This was partially 
offset by the .08% increase in the cost of funds, while the average 
interest bearing liabilities remained flat. 

Allowance for Loan Losses 
The  allowance  for  loan  losses  as  a  percentage  of  gross  loans 
outstanding is 1.96% as of December 31, 2022, compared to 2.39% 
as of December 31, 2021. Net loan charge-offs totaled $142,000 for 
the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $128,000 in 2021. 

The amounts recorded in the provision for loan losses are determined 
from  management’s  quarterly  evaluation  of  the  quality  of  the  loan 
portfolio. In this review, such factors as the volume and character of 
the  loan  portfolio,  general  economic  conditions  and  past  loan  loss 
experience are considered. Management believes that the allowance 
for  loan  losses  is  adequate  to  provide  for  possible  losses  in  the 
portfolio as of December 31, 2022. 

Other Income 
Other income may be divided into two broad categories – recurring 
and non-recurring.  Service charges on deposit accounts is a major 
source  of  recurring  other  income.  Investment  securities  gains  and 
other  income  vary  annually.  Other  income  for  the  year  ended 
December  31,  2022  was  $7,040,000,  a  decrease  of  $1,289,000 
(15.48%)  from  2021, with  a  majority  of  the  difference  related  to  a 
decrease in the gain on sale of loans and an increase in the loss on 
sale of securities.  

Other Expense 
Other  expense  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022  totaled 
$24,124,000  an  increase  of  $1,364,000  (5.99%)  from  2021.  
Salaries  and  employee  benefits  expense  aggregated  60.43%  and 
61.28%  of  total  other  expense  for  the  years  ended  December 31, 
2022 and 2021, respectively.

Income Taxes 
The Company files its federal income tax return on a consolidated basis 
with the Bank. See Note 12 for detail of income taxes. 

Management  believes  that  it  has  structured  its  pricing  mechanisms 
such that the net interest margin should maintain acceptable levels in 
2023, regardless of the changes in interest rates that may occur.

Liquidity 
The  concept  of  liquidity  comprises  the  ability  of  an  enterprise  to 
maintain  sufficient  cash  flow  to  meet  its  needs  and  obligations  on  a 
timely  basis.  Bank  liquidity  must  thus  be  considered  in  terms  of  the 
nature and mix of the institution’s sources and uses of funds. 

Bank  liquidity  is  provided  from  both  assets  and  liabilities.  The  asset 
side  provides  liquidity  through  regular  maturities  of  investment 
securities and loans. Investment securities with maturities of one year 
or less, deposits with banks and federal funds sold are a primary source 
of  asset  liquidity.  On  December  31,  2022,  these  categories  totaled 
$44,639,000 or 3.99% of assets, compared to $90,106,000 or 7.35% 
the previous year. 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, securities held to maturity had 
$37,000  and  $167,000,  respectively,  of  gross  unrealized  gains  and 
$6,003,000  and  $0, respectively,  of  unrealized  losses,  on  securities 
which management intends to hold until maturity. Such amounts are 
not expected to have a material effect on future earnings beyond the 
usual amortization of premium and accretion of discount. 

Closely related to the management of liquidity is the management of 
rate  sensitivity  (management  of  variable  rate  assets  and  liabilities), 
which focuses on maintaining stable net interest margin, an important 
factor  in  earnings  growth  and  stability.  Emphasis  is  placed  on 
maintaining an evenly balanced rate sensitivity position to avoid wide 
swings in margins and minimize risk due to changes in interest rates. 

As market interest rates move up or down, the change in the fair value 
of available-for-sale securities is recognized on a tax adjusted basis as 
an  unrealized  gain  or  loss,  through  equity  as  Other  Comprehensive 
Income.  In 2022, market interest rates rose at one of fastest rates in 
history.   This resulted in a decrease in fair value of $52.9 Million to the 
Company’s debt securities portfolio.  Gains or losses are not realized 
until and unless a security is sold.  No loss is realized if the security is 
held  to  maturity.   Security  sales  may  be  used  for  liquidity  purposes, 
though Management believes the Company has sufficient liquidity to 
fund  operations  and  continued  growth  without  significant,  if  any, 
security sales.   

The  Company’s  Asset/Liability  Committee 
is  charged  with  the 
responsibility of prudently managing the volumes and mixes of assets 
and liabilities of the subsidiary bank.

Capital  
The ability to generate and maintain capital at adequate levels is critical 
to  the  Company’s 
long-term  success.  A  common  measure  of 
capitalization for financial institutions is primary capital as a percent of 
total assets. 

Regulations  also  require  the  Company  and  Bank  to  maintain  certain 
minimum  capital  levels  in  relation  to  consolidated  Company  assets. 
Regulations require a minimum ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets 
of 8%. 

The Company’s capital, as defined by the regulations, was 18.01% of 
risk-weighted assets as of December 31, 2022. In addition, a leverage 
ratio of at least 4.00% is to be maintained. As of December 31, 2022, 
the Company’s leverage ratio was 9.89%.

Asset Liability Management 
Since  changes  in  interest  rates  may  have  a  significant  impact  on 
operations,  the  Company  has  implemented,  and  currently  maintains, 
an asset liability management committee at the Bank to monitor and 
react to the changes in interest rates and other economic conditions. 
Research concerning interest rate risk is supplied by the Company from 
information  received  from  a  third-party  source.  The  committee  acts 
upon  this  information  by  adjusting  pricing,  fee  income  parameters 
and/or marketing emphasis. 

Common Stock Information and Dividends 
The Company’s common stock is held by 219 certificate holders as of 
December  31,  2022,  and  is  traded  in  a  limited  over-the-counter 
market. 

On December 31, 2022  the  market price of the Company’s common 
stock was  $23.59.  Market price is based on stock transactions in the 
market.  Dividends  on  common  stock  of  approximately  $2,328,000 
were declared by the  Board of Directors of  the Company for the year 
ended  December 31,  2022,  versus  $2,252,000  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2021.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

Audit Committee 
First Bankers Trustshares, Inc.  

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements 

Opinion 
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. and its 
subsidiaries (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 
and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in 
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated 
financial statements (collectively, the financial statements).  

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial 
position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its 
cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United States of America. 

We have also audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of 
America (GAAS), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based 
on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013, and our report dated March 10, 2023 expressed an 
unmodified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. 

Basis for Opinion 
We conducted our audits in accordance with GAAS. Our responsibilities under those standards are 
further described in the "Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements" section of our 
report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, 
in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit 
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in 
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the 
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair 
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error. 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or 
events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue 
as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or available to 
be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are 
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance 
and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a 
material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from 
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional 
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material 
if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment 
made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. 

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we: 

•  Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. 

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to 
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures 
include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements. 

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures 

that are appropriate in the circumstances. 

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant 
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the 
financial statements. 

•  Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that 
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable 
period of time. 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, 
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related 
matters that we identified during the audit. 

Other Information Included in the Annual Report 
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information 
comprises selected financial data and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and 
results of operations included in the annual report but does not include the financial statements and our 
auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information, and 
we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial 
statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work 
performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are 
required to describe it in our report.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

Audit Committee 
First Bankers Trustshares, Inc.  

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 
We have audited First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over 
financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated 
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) 
in 2013. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over 
financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—
Integrated Framework issued by COSO in 2013. 

We also have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of 
America (GAAS), the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and our report dated March 10, 
2023 expressed an unmodified opinion. 

Basis for Opinion 
We conducted our audit in accordance with GAAS. Our responsibilities under those standards are further 
described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” 
section of our audit report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our ethical 
responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that 
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 

Responsibilities of Management for Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 
Management is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining effective internal control over 
financial reporting, and for its assessment about the effectiveness of internal control over financial 
reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report for FDICIA Requirements. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial 
reporting was maintained in all material respects and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion 
on internal control over financial reporting. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not 
absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit of internal control over financial 
reporting conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material weakness when it exists. 

In performing an audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with GAAS, we: 

•  Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. 

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assess the risks that a material 

weakness exists, and test and evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over 
financial reporting based on the assessed risk.

Definition and Inherent Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 
An entity’s internal control over financial reporting is a process affected by those charged with 
governance, management, and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
preparation of reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in 
the United States of America. Because management’s assessment and our audit were conducted to meet 
the reporting requirements of Section 112 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act 
(FDICIA), our audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting included controls over the 
preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United States of America and with the instructions to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank 
Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C). An entity's internal control over financial reporting includes those 
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, 
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (2) provide 
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial 
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 
and that the receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with 
authorizations of management and those charged with governance; and (3) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and correction, of unauthorized acquisition, use, or 
disposition of the entity’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent, or detect and 
correct, misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject 
to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of 
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

Restriction on Use 
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Audit Committee and management of the

1.  Nature of Business and Summary of Significant 

Accounting Policies 

Nature of Business 
First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. (Company) is a bank holding company which 
owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of First Bankers Trust Company, 
N.A. (Bank), FBIL Statutory Trust II (Trust II) and FBIL Statutory Trust III (Trust 
III).  The Bank is engaged in banking and bank related services and serves a 
market  area  consisting primarily of  Adams,  McDonough,  Schuyler,  Hancock 
and  Sangamon counties in west central Illinois and a loan production office 
in St. Clair county, Illinois.  

Accounting Estimates 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and 
assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amount  of  assets  and  liabilities  and 
disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial 
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 
reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from  those  estimates.  The 
allowance  for  loan  losses  is  inherently  subjective  as  it  requires  material 
estimates that are susceptible to significant change. The fair value disclosure 
of financial instruments is an estimate that can be computed within a range. 

Basis of Consolidation 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 
First  Bankers  Trustshares,  Inc.  and  its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  except 
Trusts II and III, which do not meet the criteria for consolidation. All significant 
intercompany  accounts  and 
in 
consolidation.   

transactions  have  been  eliminated 

Presentation of Cash Flows 
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes cash 
on  hand  and  amounts  due  from  banks,  including  cash  items  in  process  of 
clearing. Cash flows from federal funds sold, loans to customers, deposits and 
securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reported net. 

Securities 
Securities held to maturity are those for which the Company has the ability 
and intent to hold to maturity. Securities meeting such criteria at the date of 
purchase  and  as  of  the  balance  sheet  date  are  carried  at  amortized  cost, 
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, computed 
by the interest method over their contracted lives. 

Securities available for sale are accounted for at fair value and the unrealized 
holding gains or losses, net of their deferred income tax effect, are presented 
as  increases  or  decreases  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income 
(loss), as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. 

Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are based upon the adjusted 
book value of the specific securities sold and are included in earnings. 

Transfers  of  debt  securities  into the  held-to-maturity  classification  from  the 
available-for-sale classification are made at fair value on the date of transfer.  
The unrealized holding gain or loss on the date of transfer is retained in the 
the separate component of stockholders’ equity and in the carrying value of 
the  held-to-maturity  securities.    Such  amounts  are  amortized  over  the 
remaining contractual lives of the securities by the interest method. 

There were no trading securities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. 

All securities are evaluated to determine whether declines in fair value below 
their amortized cost are other-than-temporary. In estimating other-than- 

23 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

temporary  impairment  losses  on  debt  securities,  management  considers  a 
number of factors including, but not limited to (1) the length of time and extent  
to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, (2) the financial 
condition  and  near-term  prospects  of  the  issuer,  (3)  the  current  market 
conditions and (4) the intent of the Company to not sell the security prior to 
recovery and whether it is not more likely than not that it will be required to 
sell the security prior to recovery. If the Company does not intend to sell the 
security, and it is unlikely the entity will be required to sell the security before 
recovery  of  its  amortized  cost  basis,  the  Company  will  recognize  the  credit 
component  of  an  other-than-temporary  impairment  of  a  debt  security  in 
earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income. For held 
to  maturity  debt  securities,  the  amount  of  an  other-than-temporary 
impairment recorded in other comprehensive income for the noncredit portion 
would be amortized prospectively over the remaining life of the security on the 
basis of the timing of future estimated cash flows of the security. 

Federal Funds Sold 
Federal funds sold consist of excess bank reserves lent in the federal funds 
market.  The Company’s consolidated balance sheets include federal funds 
sold  of  $697,000  and  $1,763,000  at  December  31,  2022  and  2021, 
respectively. 

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses 
Loans held for sale:  Residential real estate and agricultural loans, which are 
originated and intended for resale in the secondary market in the foreseeable 
future, are classified as held for sale. These loans are carried at the lower of 
cost  or  estimated  market  value  in  the  aggregate.  As  assets  specifically 
acquired for resale, the origination of, disposition of, and gain/loss on these 
loans are classified as operating activities in the consolidated statements of 
cash flows. 

Loans held for investment:  Loans that management has the intent and ability 
to  hold  for  the  foreseeable  future,  or  until  pay-off  or  maturity  occurs,  are 
classified  as  held  for  investment.  These  loans  are  stated  at  the  amount  of 
unpaid principal adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for estimated losses 
on loans, and any deferred fees and/or costs on originated loans. Interest is 
credited to earnings as earned based on the principal amount outstanding. 
Deferred  direct  loan  origination  fees  and/or  costs  are  amortized  as  an 
adjustment  of  the  related  loan’s  yield.  As  assets  held  for  and  used  in  the 
production  of  services,  the  origination  and  collection  of  these  loans  is 
classified as an investing activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows. 

Allowance for credit losses and fair value are disclosed by portfolio segment, 
while  credit  quality  information,  impaired  financing  receivables,  nonaccrual 
status and troubled debt restructurings are presented by class of financing 
receivable.  A  portfolio  segment  is  defined  as  the  level  at  which  an  entity 
develops  and  documents  a  systematic  methodology  to  determine  its 
allowance  for  credit  losses.  A  class  of  financing  receivable  is  defined  as  a 
further  disaggregation  of  a  portfolio  segment  based  on  risk  characteristics 
and  the  entity’s  method  for  monitoring  and  assessing  credit  risk.  The 
disclosures  are  presented  at  the  level  of  disaggregation  that  management 
uses when assessing and monitoring the portfolio’s risk and performance.  

The Company’s portfolio segments are as follows: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Commercial operating  
Commercial real estate 
Agricultural operating 
Agricultural real estate 
Construction and land development 
Real estate secured by 1-4 and multi-family  
Consumer 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Given the risk characteristics and the Company’s method for monitoring and 
assessing  credit  risk,  further  disaggregation  of  the  loan  portfolio  is  not 
warranted, and therefore, the Company’s classes equal their segments. 

Generally,  for  all  classes  of  loans,  loans  are  considered  past  due  when 
contractual payments are delinquent for 31 days or greater. 

For all classes of loans, loans will generally be placed on nonaccrual status 
when the loan has become 90 days past due (unless the loan is well secured 
and in the process of collection); or if any of the following conditions exist: 

 

It becomes evident that the borrower will not make payments, or will 
not or cannot meet the terms for renewal of a matured loan, 

  When full repayment of principal and interest is not expected, 
  When  the  loan  is  graded  “substandard”  and  the  future  accrual  of 

interest is not protected by sound collateral values, 

  When the loan is graded “doubtful”, 
  When  the  borrower  files  bankruptcy  and  an  approved  plan  of 
reorganization or liquidation is not anticipated in the near future, or 

  When foreclosure action is initiated. 

When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, payments received will be applied 
to the principal balance. However, interest may be taken on a cash basis in 
the event the loan is fully secured and the risk of loss is minimal. Previously 
recorded  but  uncollected  interest  on  a  loan  placed  in  nonaccrual  status  is 
accounted for as follows:  if the previously accrued but uncollected interest 
and the principal amount of the loan is protected by sound collateral value 
based  upon  a  current,  independent  qualified  appraisal,  such  interest  may 
remain  on  the  Company’s  books.  If  such  interest  is  not  protected,  it  is 
considered a loss with the amount thereof recorded in the current year being 
reversed against current earnings, and the amount recorded in the prior year 
being charged against the allowance for possible loan losses. 

For all classes of loans, nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status 
provided the following criteria are met: 

 

 
 

The  loan  is  current,  and  all  principal  and  interest  amounts 
contractually due have been made, 
The loan is well secured and in the process of collection, and  
Prospects  for  future  principal  and  interest  payments  are  not  in 
doubt. 

Troubled  debt  restructures:    Troubled  debt  restructuring  exists  when  the 
Company,  for economic  or  legal  reasons  related to  the  borrower’s  financial 
difficulties,  grants  a  concession  (either  imposed  by  court  order,  law  or 
agreement between the borrower and the Company) to the borrower that it 
would not otherwise consider. These concessions could include forgiveness 
of principal, extension of maturity dates and reduction of stated interest rates 
or accrued interest. The Company is attempting to maximize its recovery of 
the balances of the loans through these various concessionary restructurings. 
See Note 3 for disclosure of the Company’s troubled debt restructurings. 

Allowance for loan losses:  For all portfolio segments, the allowance for loan 
losses  is  maintained  at  the  level  considered  adequate  by  management  to 
provide for losses that are probable. The allowance is increased by provisions 
charged to expense and reduced by net charge-offs.  

In determining the adequacy of the allowance balance, the Company makes 
continuous  evaluations  of  the  loan  portfolio  and  related  off-balance  sheet 
commitments,  considered  current  economic  conditions,  historical  loan  loss 
experience, reviews of specific problem loans and other factors. 

A discussion of the risk characteristics and the allowance for loan losses by 
each portfolio segment follows: 

For commercial operating loans, the Company focuses on small and mid-sized 
businesses  with  primary  operations  in  transportation,  warehousing  and 
manufacturing, as well as serving as building contractors, business services 
companies, health care providers, financial organizations and retailers. The  

24 

Company provides a wide range of commercial loans, including lines of credit 
for  working  capital  and  operational  purposes,  and  term  loans  for  the 
acquisition of real estate, facilities, equipment and other purposes. Approval 
is generally based on the following factors: 

 

 
 
 
 

Sufficient cash flow to support debt repayment; 
Ability and stability of current management of the borrower; 
Positive earnings and financial trends; 
Earnings projections based on reasonable assumptions; 
Financial strength of the industry and business; and 
Value and marketability of collateral. 

Collateral  for  commercial  loans  generally  includes  accounts  receivable, 
inventory, equipment and real estate. The lending policy specifies approved 
collateral types and corresponding maximum advance percentages. The value 
of collateral pledged on loans typically exceeds the loan amount by a margin 
sufficient to absorb potential erosion of its value in the event of foreclosure 
and cover the loan amount plus costs incurred to convert it to cash. 

The  lending  policy  specifies maximum term  limits  for  commercial  operating 
loans. For term loans, the maximum term is 7 years.  Where the purpose of 
the loan is to finance depreciable equipment, the term loan generally does not 
exceed the estimated useful life of the asset. For lines of credit, the typical 
maximum term is 365 days. However, longer maturities may be approved if 
the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral. 

In  addition,  the  Company  often  takes  personal  guarantees  to  help  assure 
repayment. Loans may be made on an unsecured basis if warranted by the 
overall financial condition of the borrower. 

Commercial real estate loans, construction and land development loans and 
real  estate  secured  by  multi-family  loans  are  subject  to  underwriting 
standards and processes similar to commercial operating loans and to real  
estate  loans  including  the  factors  regarding  approval  of  the  loan  noted 
previously. 

Collateral  for  these  loans  generally  includes  the  underlying  real  estate  and 
improvements, and may include additional assets of the borrower. The lending 
policy  specifies  maximum  loan-to-value  limits  based  on  the  category  of 
commercial real estate (commercial real estate loans on improved property, 
raw  land,  land  development  and  commercial  construction).  In  addition,  the 
Company often takes personal guarantees to help assure repayment. 

Agricultural  operating  and  real  estate  loans  are  subject  to  underwriting 
standards and processes similar to commercial loans including the approval 
factors noted previously. The Company provides a wide range of agriculture 
loans, including lines of credit for working capital and operational purposes, 
and  term  loans  for  the  acquisition  of  real  estate,  facilities,  equipment  and 
other purposes. 

Collateral  for  agricultural  loans  generally  includes  accounts  receivable, 
inventory (typically grain or livestock), equipment and real estate. The lending 
policy  specifies  approved  collateral  types  and  corresponding  maximum 
advance  percentages.  The  value  of  collateral  pledged  on  loans  typically 
exceeds the loan amount by a margin sufficient to absorb potential erosion of 
its  value  in  the  event  of  foreclosure  and  cover  the  loan  amount  plus  costs 
incurred to convert it to cash. 

The lending policy specifies maximum term limits for agricultural loans. For 
term loans, the maximum term is 7 years. Where the purpose of the loan is to 
finance depreciable equipment, the term loan generally does not exceed the 
estimated useful life of the asset. For lines of credit, the typical maximum term 
is  365  days.  However,  longer  maturities  may  be  approved  if  the  loan  is 
secured by readily marketable collateral. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In  addition,  the  Company  often  takes  personal  guarantees  to  help  assure 
repayment. Loans may be made on an unsecured basis if warranted by the 
overall financial condition of the borrower. 

In some instances for all loans, it may be appropriate to originate or purchase 
loans that are exceptions to the guidelines and limits established within the 
lending  policy  described  above  and  below.  In  general,  exceptions  to  the 
lending  policy  do  not  significantly  deviate  from  the  guidelines  and  limits 
established  within  the  lending  policy  and,  if  there  are  exceptions,  they  are 
clearly noted as such and specifically identified in loan approval documents. 

The Company generally retains short-term residential mortgage loans that are 
originated for its own portfolio but sells most long-term loans to other parties 
while  retaining  servicing  rights  on  the  majority  of  those  loans.    The  market 
value of real estate securing residential real estate loans can fluctuate as a 
result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is 
located.  Adverse developments affecting real estate values in one or more of 
the Company’s markets could increase the credit risk associated with its loan 
portfolio.  Additionally, the repayment of the loans generally is dependent, in 
large  part,  on  the  borrower’s  continuing  financial  stability,  and  is  therefore 
more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.  

Consumer  loans  typically  have  shorter  terms,  lower  balances,  higher  yields 
and  higher  risks  of  default  than  real  estate-related  loans.    Consumer  loan 
collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and 
are therefore more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.  
Collateral for these loans generally includes automobiles, boats, recreational 
vehicles  and  real  estate.    However,  depending  on  the  overall  financial 
condition of the borrower, some loans are made on an unsecured basis.  The 
collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to 
recover and may fluctuate in value based on condition.  In addition, a decline 
in the United States economy could result in reduced employment, impacting 
the ability of customers to repay their obligations. 

For  loans  categorized  as  “commercial,”  which  would  include  the  following 
segments:    commercial  operating,  commercial  real  estate,  agricultural  real 
estate,  agricultural  operating,  construction  and  land  development  and  real 
estate secured by multi-family, the allowance for estimated losses on loans 
consist of specific and general components.  The specific component relates 
to loans that are classified as impaired, as defined below. For those loans that 
are  classified  as  impaired,  an  allowance  is  established  when  the  collateral 
value (or discounted cash flows or observable market price) of the impaired 
loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. 

These loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and 
events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled 
payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms 
of  the  loan  agreement.  Factors  considered  by  management  in  determining 
impairment  include  payment  status,  collateral  value,  and  the  probability  of 
collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that 
experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are 
not  classified  as  impaired.  Management  determines  the  significance  of 
payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into 
consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, 
including  the  length  of  the  delay,  the  reasons  for  the  delay,  the  borrower’s 
prior  payment  record  and  the  amount  of  the  shortfall  in  relation  to  the 
principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a case-by-case basis 
by either the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at  
the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the 
fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. 

The general components consist of quantitative and qualitative factors and 
covers  non-impaired  loans. The  quantitative  factors  are  based  on  historical 
charge-offs experience and expected loss given default derived from the  

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Company’s internal risk rating process. See below for a detailed description 
of  the  Company’s  internal  risk  rating  scale.  The  qualitative  factors  are 
determined based on an assessment of internal and/or external influences  
on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating 
data. 

The Company utilizes the following internal risk rating scale: 

Type 1 (Substantially Risk Free) 
General Statement:  This rating should be assigned to loans with virtually no 
credit  risk,  such  as  loans  fully  secured  by  certificates  of  deposit  and  other 
deposit  accounts.  It  may  be  assigned  to  other  loans  to  businesses  or 
individuals with little or no risk. 

Business Loans:  A loan to a business may be rated 1 if it exhibits enough of 
these characteristics to make it substantially risk free: 

 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 

Bank has a high regard for the character, competence and diligence 
of management. 
Earnings are strong and well-assured. 
There is ample liquidity. 
Loans have paid as agreed. 
Abundant  collateral  which  is  liquid  and  has  well-defined  market 
value. 
Capital position well above industry averages. 
Loan structure is appropriate and documentation complete. 
No adverse trends. 

Loans to Individuals:  Loans to individuals may be assigned a 1 rating if the 
following conditions are met: 

 

 

 

The primary source of repayment is strong and is considered likely 
to remain strong throughout the life of the loan.  
The loan is secured by collateral with a loan to value (LTV) of less 
than  50%  provided  that  the  collateral  must  have  well-defined 
market-value,  must  have  satisfactory  liquidity  and  should  retain 
most of its value if the primary source of repayment falters. 
The  individual  has  significant  liquidity  and  is  considered  likely  to 
remain liquid over the life of the loan. 

Type 2 (Low Risk) 
General Statement:  This rating should be assigned to loans that have little 
credit risk. Borrowers in this category have strong earnings and capital and a 
secondary source of repayment that is sufficient to fully repay the loan. The  
business is considered to be highly resistant to adverse changes in economic 
or industry conditions. 

 

Business Loans:  Following are some characteristics of loans that should be 
rated 2. A 2 loan may not exhibit all of the following characteristics, but its 
strengths -- primarily the sufficiency/reliability of the sources of repayment -- 
result  in  a  loan  with  little  credit  risk.  To  the  extent  that  a  loan  is  not 
characterized by one or more of the factors listed below, the deficiency is not 
considered to adversely affect the likelihood of repayment in any material way. 
Bank has a high regard for the character, competence and diligence 
of management. 
Consistent  record  of  earnings;  the  earnings  stream  is  considered 
resistant to changes in economic conditions. 
Liquidity at or above industry norms. 
Loans have paid as agreed. 
Collateral  margin  is  well  within  policy  guidelines  with  satisfactory 
liquidity and well-defined market value. 
Capital position above industry averages. 
Loan structure appropriate and documentation complete. 
No adverse trends. 



 

Loans to Individuals:  Loans to individuals may be rated 2 if the individual’s 
earnings  stream  is  considered  strong  and  reliable  and  the  individual 
maintains  a  conservative  financial  posture.  The  income  may  be  from  any 
source, including business income, passive income, or professional income.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Individuals are considered to maintain a conservative financial posture if they 
consistently leave themselves a wide margin of safety in terms of their ability 
to repay debt. This margin typically manifests itself in the form of significant  
liquidity, strong debt service coverage (DSC) ratios and/or quick repayment of 
loans. 

Type 3 (Normal Risk) 
General Statement:  Borrowers in this category have satisfactory earnings and 
net  worth.  In  most  cases,  there  is  collateral  or  guarantor  support  which 
provides  a  satisfactory  secondary  source  of  repayment.  The  business  is 
considered  to  be  capable  of  operating  profitably  throughout  the  normal 
business cycle. 

Business Loans:  Loans to businesses should be rated 3 if financial strength 
is typical for the industry and there is no significant adverse trends. Following 
are some characteristics of 3 loans. A loan may not exhibit all of the following 
characteristics,  but  its  strengths  -- primarily  the  sufficiency/reliability  of  the 
sources of repayment -- result in a loan with normal levels of risk. 
  Management is considered to be capable and diligent. 
 

The earnings stream is satisfactory under present conditions and 
is considered likely to continue. 
Satisfactory liquidity. 
Loans have paid as agreed. 
Collateral is considered sufficient to repay the loan in full within a 
reasonable marketing time. 
Capital position within a reasonable range above or below industry 
average. 
No material deficiencies in loan structure or documentation. 
Trends typically flat or positive. No material adverse trends. 

 
 
 

 

 
 

Loans  to  Individuals:    Loans  may  be  unsecured  and  still  rated  3  if  the 
individual’s earnings stream is both strong and reliable. If earnings are not as 
strong, loans should be rated 3 if the Bank’s collateral is considered sufficient 
to repay the loans. 

Type 4 (Above Average Risk) 
General Statement:  Borrowers in this category are not as strong financially as 
the typical business in the same industry. There may be discernible weakness 
in  management,  earnings,  capital  or  the  Bank’s  secondary  sources  of 
repayment. The business is considered to be susceptible to adverse changes 
in economic or industry conditions. 

Business Loans:  Loans to businesses should be rated 4 if financial strength 
is somewhat below industry averages, but the loans are expected to repay as 
agreed  if  the  company’s  current  financial  conditions  stay  the  same  or 
strengthen. Following are some examples of weaknesses which may cause a 
loan to have above average levels of risk. A 4 loan will not have all of these 
weaknesses, but will have one or more: 

 
 

 
 

There is some question as to the strength of management. 
The company is profitable in most years, but earnings are typically 
below industry averages. 
Liquidity may be limited as evidenced by occasional delinquencies. 
There  may  be  a  less  than  desirable  margin  in  collateral;  the 
collateral may be difficult to market; or the value of collateral may 
vary significantly depending on economic conditions. 
Capital position is below industry average. 

  May  have  deficiencies 

loan  structure, 
documentation or missing financial information. 

in 

incomplete 

legal 

  May  have  an  adverse  trend  in  sales  or  earnings;  may  be  capital 

account withdrawals in excess of earnings. 

Loans  to  Individuals:    Loans  to  individuals  should  be  rated  4  if  the  bank 
appears to have a satisfactory source of repayment for the loan, but there is 
concern about the individual’s earnings stream, leverage or tolerance for risk. 

26 

Type 5 (Watch Loan) 
General  Statement:    Borrowers  in  this  category  have  readily  apparent 
weaknesses in their financial condition. There may be weak earnings, thin 
capital  or  an  adverse  trend  that  is  expected  to  continue.  The  borrower 
currently has the capacity to repay, but is of marginal strength and is  
considered  to  have  little  ability  to  overcome  economic  events  that  would 
adversely  affect  the  business.  Loans  with  material  documentation  or 
structural deficiencies may also be rated Watch at the discretion of bank or 
loan review personnel. 

Business Loans:  Following are examples of weaknesses which may warrant 
a Watch rating. Loans rated Watch will typically have several of the following 
weaknesses: 

 

 
 

 

 
 

There is often a question about the ability of management to operate 
the business successfully over time. 
The earnings stream is weak, with possible periods of loss. 
Liquidity  may  be  a  problem  as  evidenced  by  delinquencies  or 
amortization periods longer than is typical for the type of collateral 
securing the loan. 
There  may  be  reasonable  doubt  as  to  whether  the  loan  would  be 
repaid  in  full  from  the  sale  of  collateral.  Possible  issues  include:  
third-party claims to the collateral, difficulty in obtaining possession, 
condition,  marketing  time  and  value  under  current  market 
conditions. 
Capital position less than half of industry average. 
Common  to  have  deficiencies  in  loan  structure,  incomplete  legal 
documentation or missing financial information. Trends are flat or 
negative. It is common for there to be a decline in sales, earnings 
and/or capital. 

Loans to Individuals: See “General Statement” for Watch loans. 

Type 6 (Substandard) 
General Statement:  These loans have one or more pronounced weaknesses 
which jeopardize their timely liquidation. Neither the earnings of the business 
nor  its  realistic  net  worth  adequately  protect  the  Bank  from  possible  loss. 
There  is  a  distinct  possibility  that  the  Bank  will  sustain  some  loss  if  the 
deficiencies are not corrected. 

Business Loans:  Following are examples of weaknesses which may warrant 
a substandard rating. Loans rated Substandard will typically have several of 
the following weaknesses: 

  Management  often  considered  to  have  made  incorrect  strategic 

 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

decisions or to be weak or inattentive. 
Earnings stream is insufficient to repay loans on a timely basis. 
Business normally has periods of loss, sometimes large. 
Liquidity usually strained by operating losses. 
Loans usually renegotiated or past-due. 
It may be unlikely that the loan would be repaid in full from the sale 
of  collateral.  Possible  issues  include:  third  party  claims  to  the 
collateral;  difficulty  in  obtaining  possession,  condition, marketing 
time and value under current market conditions. 
Typical  reliance  upon  guarantors  or  other  secondary  sources  of 
repayment that was not originally anticipated. 
Documentation deficiencies – including lack of important financial 
information – are common. 
In most cases there are negative trends, such as declines in sales, 
earnings and/or capital. 

Loans  to  Individuals:    Loans  to  individual  borrowers  should  be  rated 
Substandard  if  there  is  a  pronounced  weakness  in  income,  liquidity  or 
collateral that is likely to affect the ability of the bank to collect the debt in full. 
Debt levels may be significantly above accepted guidelines relative to income. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Type 7 (Doubtful) 
General Statement:  Loans with well-defined weaknesses that make collection 
or liquidation of the debt in full improbable based on current information. 

Troubled debt restructures are considered impaired loans and are subject to 
the same allowance methodology as described above for impaired loans by 
portfolio segment. 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Business  Loans:    Typical  characteristics  of  a  doubtful  loan  include  the 
following: 
 
 
 

Large operating losses. 
Collateral insufficient to repay loan. 
Typical to have little or no capital. Continued viability of business is 
doubtful. 
Unreliable or no alternative sources of repayment. 
Loss anticipated, exact loss figure cannot be determined at present. 

 
 

Loans  to  Individuals:    Borrower’s  ability  or  willingness  to  repay  makes 
collection  of  the  debt  in  full  unlikely.  Loans  may  be  unsecured  or  have  an 
obvious collateral deficiency. 

Type 8 (Loss) 
General Statement:  Loans with pervasive weaknesses so great that principal 
is  considered  uncollectible  under  current  circumstances.  This  classification 
does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but simply that 
it  is  no  longer  practical  to  defer  writing  it  off.  Recovery  is  dependent  on 
favorable future events. 

Normal characteristics: 

 
 

Business has failed or is near failure. 
No reliable source of repayment. 

For  these  loans  categorized  as  commercial  or  credit  relationships  with 
aggregate  exposure  greater  than  $500,000,  a  loan  review  will  be  required 
within  12  months  of  the  most  recent  credit  review.  The  reviews  shall  be 
completed  in  enough  detail  to,  at  a  minimum,  validate  the  risk  rating. 
Additionally,  the  reviews  shall  determine  whether  any  documentation 
exceptions exist, appropriate written analysis is included in the loan file and 
whether credit policies have been properly adhered to. 

An ongoing independent review is conducted of a sampling of residential real 
estate as well to assess underwriting quality and adherence to policy. 

Many  of  the  residential  real  estate  loans  underwritten  by  the  Company 
conform to the underwriting requirements of Mortgage Partnership Finance 
(MPF), Fannie Mae or other secondary market aggregators to allow the bank 
to resell loans in the secondary market. 

Servicing rights are retained on many, but not all, of the residential real estate 
loans  sold  in  the  secondary  market.    Mortgage  servicing  rights  are  not 
considered significant as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. 

The  Company  provides  many  types  of  consumer  and  other  loans  including 
motor  vehicle,  home  improvement, home  equity,  signature  loans  and  small 
personal credit lines. The lending policy addresses specific credit guidelines 
by consumer loan type. 

As  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  the Bank  had  loan  concentrations  in 
agribusiness of 19.57% and 18.26%, respectively, of outstanding loans. The 
Bank had no additional industry loan concentrations which, in management’s 
judgment, were considered to be significant. The Bank had no foreign loans 
outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. 

Transfers of Financial Assets 
Transfers  of  financial  assets  are  accounted  for  as  sales,  only 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 
Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right to pledge or exchange the assets 
it  received,  and  no  condition  both  constrains  the  transferee  from  taking 
advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a modest 
benefit  to  the  transferor  and  (3)  the  Company  does  not  maintain  effective 
control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them 
before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return 
specific assets. 

Credit Related Financial Instruments 
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments 
to  extend  credit,  including  commitments  under  lines  of  credit  and  standby 
letters  of  credit.  Such  financial  instruments  are  recorded  when  they  are 
funded. 

Premises, Furniture and Equipment 
Premises,  furniture  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated 
depreciation. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over 
the estimated useful lives of the assets.  During the year ended December 31, 
2022, the Company sold a building at a gain of $247,000 which is included 
in other income.  The building was previously a branch of the bank that was 
closed during the year ended December 31, 2021.  A loss of approximately 
$435,000 was recorded on the building when the branch was closed and is 
included in other expenses on the consolidated statements of income.   

Other Real Estate Owned 
Other  real  estate  owned  (OREO),  which  is  included  with  other  assets, 
represents properties acquired through foreclosure, in-substance foreclosure 
or other proceedings. Property is recorded at fair value less cost to sell when 
acquired. Property is evaluated regularly to ensure that the recorded amount 
is supported by the current fair value. Subsequent write-downs to fair value 
are charged to earnings. 

Life Insurance Contracts 
Bank-owned life insurance is carried at cash surrender value, net of surrender 
and other charges, with increases/decreases reflected as income/expense in 
the consolidated statements of income. 

For residential real estate loans and consumer loans, these large groups of 
smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. 
The  Company  applies  a  quantitative  factor  based  on  historical  charge-off 
experience  in  total  for  each  of  these  segments.  Accordingly,  the  Company 
generally does not separately identify individual residential real estate loans 
and/or consumer loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the 
subject  of  a  restructuring  agreement  due  to  financial  difficulties  of  the 
borrower or it has been identified for another specific reason. 

Goodwill 
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired 
in  connection  with  business  combinations.  Goodwill  is  evaluated  for 
impairment  annually  or  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances 
indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has occurred. 
The  Company  has  completed  its  annual  goodwill  impairment  test  and  has 
determined that goodwill was not impaired at December 31, 2022 and 2021.  
See Note 5.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Repurchase Agreements 
Securities  sold  under  agreements  to  repurchase,  which  are  classified  as 
secured borrowings, generally mature either daily or within one year from the  
transaction  date.  Securities  sold  under  agreements  to  repurchase  are 
reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. 
The underlying securities are held by the Company’s safekeeping agent. The  
Company may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair 
value of the underlying securities. 

Earnings Per Share of Common Stock 
Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income 
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each reporting 
period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock assume the conversion, 
exercise  or  issuance  of  all  potential  common  stock  equivalents  unless  the 
effect is to reduce the loss or increase the income per common share from  
continuing operations. The Company had no common stock equivalents as of 
and  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2022  and  2021.    During the years 
ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company resolved to repurchase 
up to $4,000,000 of its common stock pursuant to a Stock Repurchase Plan.  
During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  the  Company 
purchased 106,818 and 15,111 shares, respectively, at a cost of $3,127,973 
and $478,939, respectively. 

Service Charge Income 
Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net 
fees  earned  on  analyzed  business  and  public  checking  accounts),  monthly 
service  fees,  check  orders,  and  other  deposit  account  related  fees.    The 
Company’s  performance  obligation  for  account  analysis  fees  and  monthly 
service fees is generally satisfied, and the revenue recognized, over the period 
in  which  the  service  is  provided.    Check  orders,  and  other  deposit  account 
related  fees  are  largely  transactional-based,  and  therefore,  the  Company’s 
performance obligation is satisfied and related revenue recognized, at a point 
in time.  Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received 
immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ 
accounts.  

Other Income 
Other noninterest income consists of other recurring revenue streams such 
as  commissions  from  sales  of  mutual  funds  and  other  investments, 
investment advisor fees from the Company’s wealth management products, 
safe  deposit  box  rental  fees  and  other  miscellaneous  revenue  streams. 
Commissions  from  sales  of  mutual  funds  and  other  investments  and 
investment  advisor  fees  are  recognized  monthly  as  the  sales  occur.    Safe 
deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and 
recognized  upon  receipt  of  payment.    The  Company  determined  that  since 
rentals and renewals occur fairly consistently over time, revenue is recognized 
on a basis consistent with the duration of the performance obligation. 

Income Taxes 
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets 
are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and 
tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable 
temporary  differences.  Temporary  differences  are  the  differences  between 
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion 
of  management,  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  some  portion  or  all  of  the 
deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are  
adjusted for the effects of changes in the tax laws and rates on the date of 
enactment. 

When the tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken 
would be sustained upon examinations by the taxing authorities, while others 
could be subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken.  

The  Company  may  recognize  the  tax  benefit  from  an  uncertain  tax-position 
only  if  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  the  tax  position  will  be  sustained  on 
examination  by  taxing  authorities,  based  on  the  technical  merits  of  the 
position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a 
position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 
50%  likelihood  of  being  realized  upon  ultimate  settlement.  Management 
evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had  
taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated 
financial statements. 

The  Company  recognizes  interest  and  penalties  on  income  taxes  as  a 
component of income tax expense. 

Comprehensive Income 
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from 
transactions  and  other  events  from  non-owner  sources.  Comprehensive 
income is the total of net income and other comprehensive income, which for 
the  Company,  is  comprised  of  unrealized  gains  and  losses  on  securities 
available for sale and unrealized losses on debt securities transferred from 
available for sale to held to maturity. 

Subsequent Events 
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through March 10, 2023, 
the date the financial statements were available to be issued. 

Current Accounting Developments 
In  June  2016,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2016-13  Financial  Instruments-Credit 
Losses (Topic 326):  Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.  
The  underlying  premise  of  the  ASU  is  that  financial  assets  measured  at 
amortized  cost  should  be  presented  at  the  net  amount  expected  to  be 
collected, through  an  allowance  for  credit  losses that  is deducted  from the 
amortized  cost  basis.    The  allowance  for  credit  losses  should  reflect 
management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur 
over  the  remaining  life  of  a  financial  asset.    This  is  in  contrast  to  existing 
guidance  whereby  credit  losses  generally  are  not  recognized  until  they  are 
incurred.    Under  the  standard,  impairment  of  the  Company’s  loans  will  be 
measured using the current expected credit loss model, which will entail day-
one recognition of life-of-asset expected losses.  The standard will be effective 
for the Company for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022.  The 
Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on 
the consolidated financial statements.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Bank transferred securities classified as Available for Sale to the Held To Maturity classification.  The impact of 
this transfer was to move the unrealized losses of those securities from fair value to amortized cost. The amortized cost of securities at date of transfer was 
$136,116,000 with unrealized losses of $23,801,000 of which $511,000 has been amortized as of December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2022, the investment portfolio included 305 securities. Of this number, 273 securities have current unrealized losses and 97 of them have 
current unrealized losses which have existed for longer than one year. All of the debt securities with unrealized losses are considered to be acceptable credit risks. 
Based upon an evaluation of the available evidence, including recent changes in market rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory 
filings, management believes the declines in fair value of these debt securities are temporary.     

The amortized cost and fair value of securities as of December 31, 2022 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual 
maturities because the mortgages underlying the collateralized mortgage obligations may be called or prepaid without penalties. Therefore, these securities are 
not included in the maturity categories in the following summary. (Amounts in Thousands of Dollars):

*Performing loans are those which are accruing and less than 90 days past due. Nonperforming loans are those on nonaccrual, accruing loans that are   
  greater than or equal to 90 days past due, and accruing TDRs.  

For commercial operating, commercial real estate, agricultural operating, agricultural real estate, real estate secured by multifamily and construction and land 
development loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator is internally assigned risk ratings. Each of these loans is assigned a risk rating upon origination. The 
risk rating is reviewed every 12 months, at a minimum, and on an as needed basis depending on the specific circumstances of the loan. Some classes of loans 
contain loans that are risk rated and loans that are not, as loans of a more homogeneous nature are not risk rated. See Note 1 for further discussion on the 
Company’s risk ratings.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

For  residential real estate loans, consumer loans and a portion of the construction and land development loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator is 
performance determined by delinquency status. Delinquency status is updated daily by the Company’s loan system. 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, TDRs total $6,423,000 and $6,758,000, respectively.  There was one TDRs restructured during the year ended December 
31, 2022.  The following summarizes the number and investment in troubled debt restructurings, by type of concession, that were restructured during the year 
ended December 31, 2022. (Amounts in Thousands of Dollars):

There was no financial impact for charge-offs, principal forgiveness or foregone interest for the troubled debt restructurings.  

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, none of the Company’s TDRs have re-defaulted subsequent to restructure, where a default is defined as a 
delinquency of 90 days or more and/or placement on nonaccrual status.  

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of these loans totaled 
$197,820,000 and $203,219,000  as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has granted loans to directors, principal officers, and affiliated companies in which they are principal stockholders 
amounting to $10,478,000 and $11,153,000 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk 
in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. 

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other 
party to the financial instrument for unused lines of credit and standby letters of 
credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. The Bank 
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations 
as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. 

A summary of the Bank’s commitments as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 is as 
follows. (Amounts in Thousands of Dollars): 

2022

2021

Commitments to extend credit:
Unused lines of credit
Standby letters of credit

$

$  

102,412  
498   

Unused lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no 
violation of any condition established in the contract. The agreements generally 
have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment 
of a fee. Since many of the agreements are expected to expire without being drawn 
upon,  the  total  commitment  amounts  do  not  necessarily  represent  future  cash 
requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-
by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank 
upon  extension  of  credit,  is based  upon  management’s  credit  evaluation  of  the 
counter-party. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, 
property, equipment and income-producing commercial properties. 

Standby  letters  of  credit  are  conditional  commitments  issued  by  the  Bank  to 
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees  
are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and, 
generally,  have  terms  of  one  year,  or  less.  The  credit  risk  involved  in  issuing 
letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities 
to  customers.  The  Bank  holds  collateral,  as  detailed  above,  supporting  those 
commitments if deemed necessary. In the event the customer does not perform in 
accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Bank would 
be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future 
payments the Bank could be required to make is represented by the contractual 
amount shown in the previous summary. If the commitment is funded, the Bank 
would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. As of December 31, 2021 
and 2020, no amounts have been recorded as liabilities for the Bank’s potential 
obligations under these guarantees. 

The  Company  has  executed  contracts  for  the  sale  of  mortgage  loans  in  the 
secondary market in the amount of $838,000 and $1,205,000 as of December 31, 
2022 and 2021, respectively. These amounts are included in loan commitments, 
included in the summary of this Note, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. 

A portion of residential mortgage loans sold to investors in the secondary market 
are sold with recourse. Specifically, certain loan sales agreements provide that if 
the  borrower  becomes  60  days  or  more  delinquent  during  the  first  six  months 
following  the  first  payment  due,  and  subsequently  becomes  90  days  or  more 
delinquent during the first 12 months of the loan, the Bank must repurchase the 
loan  from  the  subject  investor.  The  Bank  did  not  repurchase  any  loans  from 
secondary market investors under the terms of these loan sales agreements during 
the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. In the opinion of management, the 
risk of recourse to the Bank is not significant and, accordingly, no liability has 
been established. 

7.   Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Letters of Credit 

The Bank advances funds from and repays them to the Federal Home Loan Bank 
(FHLB) as considered necessary for liquidity purposes.   Outstanding advances as 
of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $45,000,000 and $6,323,000, respectively.  
As of December 31, 2022, the full $45,000,000 outstanding is due in 2023.  

8.  Junior Subordinated Debentures and Company Obligated 

Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of 
Subsidiary Trusts Holding Solely Subordinated 
Debentures 

Junior subordinated debentures are due to FBIL Statutory Trusts  II and III, which 
are  both  100%  owned,  non-consolidated  subsidiaries  of  the  Company.  The 
debentures were issued in 2003 and 2004, respectively, in conjunction with each 
Trust’s issuance of 5,000 shares of Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable 
Preferred Securities. The debentures all bear the same interest rate and terms as 
the preferred securities, detailed following.  

The  debentures  are  included  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  as  liabilities; 
however,  in  accordance  with  Federal  Reserve  Board  regulations  in  effect  at 
December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company is allowed, for regulatory purposes, 
to include the entire $10,000,000 of the capital securities issued by the Trusts in 
Tier I capital. 

During 2004, FBIL Statutory Trust III issued 5,000 shares of Company Obligated 
Mandatorily  Redeemable  (COMR)  Preferred  Securities.   Distributions are  paid 
quarterly. Cumulative cash distributions are calculated at a variable annual rate 
that is 265 basis points above the three-month LIBOR rate (7.42% and 2.85% as 
of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively). The Trust may, at one or more 
times, defer interest payments on the capital securities for up to 20 consecutive 
quarterly periods, but not beyond September 15, 2034. At the end of the deferral 
period,  all  accumulated  and  unpaid  distributions  will  be  paid.  The  capital 
securities will be redeemed on September 15, 2034 at par plus any accrued and 
unpaid  distributions  to  the  date  of  the  redemption;  however,  the  Trust  has  the 
option to redeem at any time at par. The redemption may be in whole or in part, 
but in all cases in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000. 

During  2003  the  Company  issued  5,000  shares  of  Company  Obligated 
Mandatorily Redeemable (COMR) Preferred Securities of FBIL Statutory Trust 
II  Holding  Solely  Subordinated  Debentures.  Distributions  are  paid  quarterly. 
Cumulative cash distributions are calculated at a variable annual rate that is 295 
basis  points  above  the  three-month  LIBOR  rate  (7.69%  and  3.17%  as  of 
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively). The Company may, at one or more 
times, defer interest payments on the capital securities for up to 20 consecutive 
quarterly periods, but not beyond September 17, 2033. At the end of the deferral 
period,  all  accumulated  and  unpaid  distributions  will  be  paid.  The  capital 
securities will be redeemed on September 17, 2033 at par plus any accrued and 
unpaid distributions to the date of the redemption; however, the Company has the 
option to redeem at any time at par.  The redemption may be in whole or in part, 
but in all cases in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000. 

Holders  of  the  capital  securities  have  no  voting  rights, are  unsecured and rank 
junior in priority of payment to all of the Trust’s indebtedness and senior to the 
Trust’s capital stock. 

9.  Commitments and Contingencies 

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk 
The Bank, in the normal course of business, is a party to financial instruments 
with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These 
financial instruments include unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Concentration of Credit Risk 
Aside  from  cash  on  hand  and  in-vault,  the  Company’s  cash  is  maintained  at 
various  correspondent  banks.  The  total  amount  of  cash  on  deposit  and  federal 
funds  sold  exceeded  federal  insurance  limits  at  five  institutions  by  a  total  of 
approximately $4,270,000 and $4,965,000 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 
respectively. In the opinion of management, no material risk of loss exists due to 
the financial condition of the institutions. 

Contingencies 
In  the  normal  course  of  business,  the  Company  is  involved  in  various  legal 
proceedings.  In  the  opinion  of  management,  any  liability  resulting  from  such 
proceedings  would  not  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  these  consolidated 
financial statements. 

10. Benefits 

The  Company  has  a  401(k)  plan,  which  is  a  tax  qualified  savings  plan,  to 
encourage its employees to save for retirement purposes or other contingencies. 
All  employees,  working  over  1,000  hours  per  year,  of  the  Company  and  its 
subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan after completion of one year of 
service  and  attaining  the  age  of  21.  The  employee  may  elect  to  contribute  a 
percentage  of  their  compensation  before  taxes  in  a  traditional  401(k)  and/or  a 
percentage of their compensation after taxes using the subsidiaries’ Roth 401(k) 
option. Based upon profits, as determined by the subsidiaries, a contribution may 
be  made  by  the  subsidiaries.  Employees  are  100%  vested  in  the  subsidiaries’ 
contribution to the plan after five years of service. Employee contributions and 
vested  subsidiaries  contributions  may  be  withdrawn  only  on  termination  of 
employment, retirement, death or hardship withdrawal. 

Under  the  various  Employee  Incentive  Compensation  Plans,  the  Bank  is 
authorized at its discretion, pursuant to the provisions of the plan, to establish on 
an  annual  basis,  a  bonus  fund,  which  will  be  distributed  to  certain  employees, 
based on their performance. The Employee Incentive Compensation Plan does not 
become effective unless the Bank exceeds established income levels and goals.  
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the bank met those goals.  One 
plan, a Deferred Incentive Compensation Plan, maintained by the Bank has been 
discontinued.   

The financial statements include expense related to the 401(k) Plan of $570,000 
and $529,000 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  The 
financial statements include expense related to the incentive compensation plans 
of $1,103,000 and $899,000 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 
respectively. 

11. Dividends and Regulatory Capital 

The Company’s stockholders are entitled to receive such dividends as are declared 
by the Board of Directors. The ability of the Company to pay dividends in the 
future  is  dependent  upon  its  receipt  of  dividends  from  its  subsidiaries.  The 
subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends is regulated by financial regulatory statutes. 
The timing and amount of dividends will depend on earnings, capital requirements 
and  financial  condition  of  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  as  well  as  general 
economic  conditions and  other  relevant  factors  affecting  the  Company  and  the 
subsidiary.  Under  the provisions  of  the  National Bank  Act,  the  Bank may  not, 
without prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, declare dividends in 
excess of the total of the current and past two year’s earnings less any dividends 
already paid from those earnings. 

The  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  are  subject  to  various  regulatory  capital 
requirements  administered  by  the  federal  banking  agencies.  Failure  to  meet 
minimum  capital  requirements  can  initiate  certain  mandatory,  and  possibly 
additional,  discretionary  action  by  regulators  that,  if  undertaken,  could  have  a 
direct  material  effect  on  the  Company’s  financial  statements.  Under  capital 
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, 
the  Company  and  Bank  must  meet  specific  capital  guidelines  that  involve 
quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet 
items  as  calculated  under  regulatory  accounting  practices.  The  Company  and 
Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments 
by  the  regulators  and  components,  risk  weightings  and  other  factors.  Prompt 
corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies. 

Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation  to  ensure  capital  adequacy 
require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth 
in the following table) of total, Tier I, and common equity Tier I capital (as defined 
in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier  I capital (as 
defined) to average assets (as defined).   The Bank would be subject to limitations 
on certain activities including payment of dividends and discretionary bonuses to 
executive  officers  if  its  capital  level  is  below  the  buffered  ratio.   Management 
believes, as of December 31, 2022, that the Company and Bank meet all capital 
adequacy requirements to which they are subject. 

The most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency 
categorized  the  Bank  as  well  capitalized  under  the  regulatory  framework  for 
prompt corrective action. To be categorized as adequately or well capitalized, the 
Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, common equity 
Tier I, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions 
or  events  since  that  notification  that  management  believes  have  changed  the 
Bank’s categories.

13.  Fair Value Measurements 

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring 
fair value using a hierarchy system, and requires disclosure of fair value measurements. The hierarchy is intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and 
minimize the use of unobservable inputs and includes three levels based upon the valuation techniques used. The three levels are as follows: 

Level 1:  Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity 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 a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing 

an asset or liability. 

A  description  of  the  valuation methodologies  used  for  assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value,  as well  as  the  general  classification  of  such  instruments 
pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. 

Investment securities available for sale:  Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. 
Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are 
estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency 
securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset based and other securities. In certain 
cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. 

Impaired loans:  The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance 
for loan losses is established. Loan impairment may be measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the  
loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including 
equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable. Fair value is determined based upon appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company, and 
are, generally, considered level 2 measurements. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values due to various factors including age of the  
appraisal,  age of  comparable  included  in the  appraisal,  and known  changes  in  the market  and  in the  collateral.  When  significant  adjustments  are  based  on 
unobservable inputs, the resulting fair value measurement has been categorized as a level 3 measurement.   

Other real estate owned:  Other real estate owned is carried at the estimated fair value of the property, less disposal costs at the time of acquisition.  The fair 
value of the property is determined based upon appraisals or internal evaluations.  Subsequent write-downs are bases on the lower of carrying value or fair value, 
less disposal costs. 

There have been no changes in valuation techniques used for any assets or liabilities measured at fair value during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 
2021.

The Financial Instruments Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether 
or  not  recognized  in the  balance  sheet,  for which  it  is practicable  to estimate that  value. Certain  financial  instruments  and  all  non-financial  instruments  are 
excluded from these disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: 

Cash and due from banks and federal funds sold:  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and due from banks and federal funds sold equal 
their fair values. 

Securities:  Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on 
quoted market prices of comparable instruments. 

Loans and loans held for sale:  For variable rate loans, fair values are equal to carrying values. The fair values for all other types of loans are estimated using 
discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality. The fair value of 
loans held for sale is based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in the secondary market. 

Impaired loans, net:  Impaired loans fair value is equal to book value minus the related allowance plus estimated selling costs.  

Accrued interest receivable and payable:  The fair value of accrued interest receivable and payable is equal to its carrying value. 

Deposits:  The fair values for demand and savings deposits equal their carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand. Fair values for time 
deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on time deposits to a schedule of aggregated 
expected monthly maturities on time deposits. 

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase:   The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is considered to be equal to the carrying value 
due to the borrowings’ short-term nature. 

FHLB Advances:  The fair value of FHLB Advances approximates the carrying value. 

Junior  subordinated  debentures:   It  is  not  practicable  to  estimate the fair  value  of  junior  subordinated  debentures  as  instruments with  similar  terms  are  not 
available in the market place. 

Commitments to extend credit:   The fair value of these commitments is not material. 

The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows. (Amounts in Thousands 
of Dollars):

Cash and due from banks
