Annual Report 
2023

Dear Fellow Shareholders: 

For over 50 years our Company has prospered from our humble beginnings on the Washington coast to 
operating in two  states  with  record  earnings  in 2023. Our  long-term success stems  from strong board 
oversight and exceptional employees who are committed to our values, with unwavering dedication to 
our customers and communities.    

We are very pleased with our financial performance in the recent year, especially against the backdrop of 
deposit  volatility  in  the  industry  and  the  fastest  increase  in  interest  rates  in  several  decades.  Pacific 
Financial  reported  record  net  income  of  $14.6  million,  or  $1.40  per  diluted  share,  compared  to  $10.9 
million, or $1.04 per diluted share, for the full year of 2022.  Earnings for 2023 were fueled by strong loan 
growth of over 7%, an excellent core deposit franchise and an increase in our net interest margin.  Coming 
into 2023, the board and management positioned the Bank well for a rising rate environment, benefitting 
from a large cash position which repriced immediately with the Federal Reserve’s 500 basis point interest 
rate  increases throughout  the  last  two  years,  and  a  deposit  base  comprised  of  over  40%  non-interest 
bearing  balances.  Leadership  of  the  Bank  resisted  the  temptation  to  invest  long-term  in  a  low  rate 
environment through the pandemic and remained disciplined in pricing and duration of our loans and 
investments.  As  a  result,  our  operating  performance  and  healthy  net  interest  margin  positively  set  us 
apart from our peers. 

In consideration of the Company’s outstanding earnings and strong capital position, the board of directors 
of Pacific Financial increased dividends paid to our shareholders to $5.5 million during the four quarter 
period. This represented a dividend yield of 5.16% for our shareholders. Additionally, during 2023, the 
Company’s tangible book value per share increased 13% to $9.75 per share, up from $8.62 in 2022. 

Given our strong financial results, our strategic initiatives for 2023 included investing in our Company for 
the long-term by enhancing our presence and visibility in Western Washington and Oregon.  In November 
2023,  we  celebrated  the  relocation  of  our  offices  in  Olympia  and  Vancouver,  WA.  These  branch  and 
commercial banking centers feature a blend of new technology including Interactive Teller Machines and 
a team of relationship bankers ready to serve the community. Also, in December 2023, we announced the 
addition of a new commercial banking team in the Portland suburb of Lake Oswego, OR. These growth 
markets are an important component of our long-term strategic plan. We see great opportunity here and 
look forward to contributing to the positive momentum in those markets. 

As we look to 2024, we do expect some headwinds on earnings related to persistent elevated interest 
rates and the impact on deposit costs and mortgage volume. Our focus for 2024 includes executing on 
our  growth  initiatives  set  forth  in  2023,  managing  expenses  amidst  ongoing  wage  pressures  and  the 
continued  high  cost  of  technology  and  regulatory  compliance,  while  helping  our  customers  achieve 
success in order to drive long-term shareholder value.   

 
Lastly, on behalf of management and the board, I’d like to express our deepest appreciation for retiring 
board  member,  Randy  Rust.  Thank  you  Randy  for  your  21  years  of  remarkable  leadership,  fiscal 
responsibility, thoughtful guardianship of the Company’s capital, and steadfast support of our mission, 
vision and values. 

Please join us for our annual Shareholders’ meeting to be held via webcast on Wednesday, April 24, 2024 
at  10:00  a.m.  Pacific  Time.  You  may  access  the  meeting  virtually  via  the 
internet  at 
www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PFLC2024.  

Thank you for your investment and continued confidence in Pacific Financial Corporation. 

Sincerely, 

Denise Portmann 
President  & CEO

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT 

Board of Directors 
Pacific Financial Corporation and Subsidiary 
Aberdeen, Washington 

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 
Opinion 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pacific Financial Corporation 
and Subsidiary (the Company), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial condition,  as 
of December 31, 2023  and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive 
income,  shareholders’  equity,  and  cash  flows  for  the  years  then  ended,  and  the  related  notes  to  the 
consolidated financial statements. 

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material 
respects,  the  financial  position  of  Pacific  Financial  Corporation  and  Subsidiary  as  of  December  31, 
2023  and  2022,  and  the  results  of  their  operations  and  their  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,  Pacific  Financial  Corporation  and  Subsidiary’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting, 
including controls over the preparation of regulatory financial statements in accordance with the Federal 
Financial  Institutions  Examination  Council  Instructions  for  Consolidated  Reports  of  Condition  and 
Income  (call  report  instructions)  and  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the  Federal  Reserve  System 
Instructions  for  Preparation  of  Parent  Company  Only  Financial  Statements  for  Small  Holding 
Companies (FR Y-9SP instructions) as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal 
Control  – Integrated  Framework  (2013), issued by  the  Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway  Commission  (COSO),  and  our  report  dated  March  14,  2024,  expressed  an  unqualified 
opinion. 

Basis for Opinion 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States 
of  America  (GAAS).  Our  responsibilities  under  those  standards  are  further  described  in  the  Auditors’ 
Responsibilities  for  the  Audit  of  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  section  of  our  report.  We  are 
required  to  be  independent  of  Pacific  Financial  Corporation  and  Subsidiary  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.

Board of Directors 
Pacific Financial Corporation and Subsidiary 

Change in Accounting Principle 
As  discussed  in  Note  1  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  effective  January  1,  2023,  Pacific 
Financial  Corporation  and  Subsidiary,  Bank  of  the  Pacific  adopted  new  accounting  guidance  for  the 
measurement  of  credit  losses  on  financial  instruments  through  a  cumulative-effect  adjustment  to 
retained earnings. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. 

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements 
Management  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the  consolidated  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  consolidated  financial  statements  that  are  free  from  material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

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

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements 
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ 
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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 
consolidated financial statements. 

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

Board of Directors 
Pacific Financial Corporation and Subsidiary 

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 the letter to the shareholders, financial information, and nonfinancial information 
but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. Our opinion 
on the consolidated 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  consolidated  financial  statements,  our  responsibility  is  to  read  the 
other information and  consider  whether a  material  inconsistency exists between the other  information 
and the consolidated 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.

Pacific Financial Corporation and Subsidiary 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Organization: Pacific Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Aberdeen, Washington.  The 
Company owns one banking subsidiary, Bank of the Pacific (the “Bank”), which is also headquartered in Aberdeen, Washington.  The 
Company was incorporated in the State of Washington in February, 1997, pursuant to a holding company reorganization of the Bank. 
The  Company  has  two  wholly  owned  subsidiaries,  PFC  Statutory  Trust  I  and  II  (the  “Trusts”),  which  do  not  meet  the  criteria  for 
consolidation, and therefore, are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. 

The  Company  conducts  its  banking  business  through  the  Bank,  which  operates  fifteen  branches  located  in  communities  in  Grays 
Harbor, Pacific, Thurston, Whatcom, Clark, Skagit and Wahkiakum counties in the state of Washington and two branches in Clatsop 
County, Oregon.  In addition, the Bank operates loan production offices in Burlington, Washington; Salem, Oregon; and Lake Oswego, 
Oregon; and a residential real estate mortgage department.  

Basis  of  presentation:  The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  Pacific  Financial  Corporation  and  its  wholly-
owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  

The interim consolidated financial statements are not audited, but include all adjustments that Management considers necessary for 
a fair presentation of consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented.  

Certain  prior year amounts have been reclassified to  conform with  the  2023 presentation.   These reclassifications did  not change 
previously reported net income or shareholders’ equity.  

Method  of  accounting  and  use  of  estimates:  The  Company  prepares  its  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices within the banking industry. This 
requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of 
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses 
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by Management involve the 
calculation of the provision and allowance for credit losses, the valuation and identification of deferred tax assets, the valuation of 
goodwill, and the estimate of the fair value of financial instruments.  

The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting, which recognizes income when earned and expenses when incurred.  

Subsequent events: The Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events through March 14, 2024, the date these financial 
statements were available to be issued.   

Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale consist of debt securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite 
period, but not necessarily to maturity.  Securities available for sale are reported at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses, net of the 
related  deferred  tax  effect,  are  reported  net  as  a  separate  component  of  shareholders'  equity  entitled  “accumulated  other 
comprehensive income.”  Realized gains and losses on securities available for sale, determined using the specific identification method, 
are included in earnings.  Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income over the period to 
maturity. For mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, actual maturity may differ from contractual maturity 
due to principal payments and amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts may vary due to prepayment speed assumptions. 
For callable securities amortization of premiums are recognized over the period to first call date.  

Securities held to maturity: Debt securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported 
at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are 
recognized in interest income over the period to maturity. For mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, 
actual  maturity  may  differ  from  contractual  maturity  due  to  principal  payments  and  amortization  of  premiums  and  accretion  of 
discounts may vary due to prepayment speed assumptions. For callable securities amortization of premiums are recognized over the 
period to first call date.  

6 

Nonmarketable equity securities: The Company’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock is carried at cost and cash 
and stock dividends are recorded as income.  The Company’s investment in Pacific Coast Bankers Bank ("PCBB”) stock is carried at 
cost, less impairment and plus or minus observable prices, if any, and cash and stock dividends are recorded as income. Nonmarketable 
equity securities are periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value.  

The Company is required to maintain a minimum level of investment in FHLB stock based on specific percentages of its outstanding 
total assets and FHLB advances.  At December 31, 2023 and 2022 the stock was that of FHLB of Des Moines.  

Loans held for sale: Mortgage loans originated for sale in the foreseeable future in the secondary market are carried at the lower of 
aggregate cost or estimated fair value.  Gains and losses on sales of loans are recognized at settlement date and are determined by 
the  difference  between  the  sales  proceeds  and  the  carrying  value  of  the  loans.    Net  unrealized  losses  are  recognized  through  a 
valuation allowance established by charges to income.  Loans held for sale that are unable to be sold in the secondary market are 
transferred to loans receivable when identified.

Loans receivable: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are 
reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts and deferred 
fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable related to loans totaled $3.2 million at December 31, 2023 and was reported in accrued 
interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination 
fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using methods that approximate a level 
yield without anticipating prepayments. 

The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due and is not well collateralized and in the process 
of  collection,  or  when  management  believes,  after  considering  economic  and  business  conditions  and  collection  efforts,  that  the 
principal or interest will not be collectible in the normal course of business. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. 
Loans with payments scheduled monthly are reported as past due when the borrower is in arrears two or more monthly payments.  
Loans with payment obligations other than monthly, are reported as past due when one scheduled payment is due and unpaid for 30 
days or more.   

All accrued interest is reversed against interest income when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest received on such loans is 
accounted for using the cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income 
is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest 
amounts  contractually  due  are  brought  current,  there  is  a  sustained  period  of  repayment  performance,  and  future payments  are 
reasonably assured.   

Purchased  credit  deteriorated  (PCD)  loans:  The  Company  may  purchase  loans,  some  of  which  have  experienced  more  than 
insignificant credit deterioration since origination. In those cases, the Company will consider internal loan grades, delinquency status 
and  other  relevant  factors  in  assessing  whether  purchased  loans  are  PCD.  PCD  loans  are  recorded  at  the  amount  paid.  An  initial 
allowance  for  credit losses  is  determined  using the  same  methodology  as other loans  held for investment,  but  with  no  impact to 
earnings. The initial allowance for credit losses determined on a collective basis is allocated to individual loans. The sum of the loan's 
purchase price and allowance for credit losses becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized 
cost basis and the par value of the loan is a noncredit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of 
the loan. Subsequent to initial recognition, PCD loans are subject to the same interest income recognition and impairment model as 
non-PCD loans, with changes to the allowance for credit losses recorded through provision expense. 

Allowance  for  credit  losses–Held-to-Maturity  securities:  Management  measures  expected  credit  losses  on  held-to-maturity  debt 
securities on a collective basis by major security type.  The Company’s held-to maturity  portfolio contains securities issued by U.S. 
government entities and agencies. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly 
rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. The Company’s held-to-maturity portfolio also contains 
municipal bonds that are rated at an equivalent of Moody’s Aaa or Aa2. The Company has never incurred a loss on a municipal bond, 
therefore the expectation of credit losses on these securities is insignificant. The Company uses industry historical default information 
adjusted for current conditions to establish the allowance for credit losses on the municipal bond portfolio. Accrued interest receivable 
on held-to-maturity debt securities was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.  As a result, no allowance for credit losses was 
recorded on held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2023. 

Allowance for credit losses–Available-for-Sale securities: For available-for-sale securities, management evaluates all investments in 
an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. 

7 

If the Company has the intent to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security, 
the security is written down to fair value, and the entire loss is recorded in earnings. 

If either of the above criteria is not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value is the result of credit losses or other 
factors. In  making the assessment, the Company may consider various  factors including the extent to  which fair value is less than 
amortized cost, performance on any underlying collateral, downgrades in the ratings of the security by a rating agency, the failure of 
the  issuer  to  make  scheduled  interest  or  principal  payments  and  adverse  conditions  specifically  related  to  the  security.  If  the 
assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is compared to the amortized 
cost basis of the security and any excess is recorded as an allowance for credit losses, limited to the amount that the fair value is less 
than the amortized cost basis. Any amount of unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is 
recognized in other comprehensive income. 

Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against 
the allowance for credit  losses when management believes an available-for-sale  security is confirmed to be uncollectible or  when 
either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities 
was  excluded  from  the  estimate  of  credit  losses.  At  December  31,  2023,  there  was  no  allowance  for  credit  losses  related  to  the 
available-for-sale portfolio. 

Allowance  for  credit  losses  (ACL)–Loans:  The  allowance  for  credit  losses  is  a  valuation  account  that  is  deducted  from  the  loans' 
amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance 
when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of 
amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit 
losses. 

The ACL represents management’s estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in loans as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for 
credit losses is estimated by management using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to 
past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. 

Management assesses the adequacy of the ACL on loans on a quarterly basis. The ACL on loans are calculated either on a pooled basis, 
when similar risk characteristics exist, or individually evaluated if they do not share similar risk characteristics, including nonaccrual 
loans.  Loans evaluated individually are not included in the pool evaluations and typically represent collateral dependent loans.  The 
Company has elected to use the practical expedient to measure individually evaluated loans as collateral dependent when repayment 
is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The credit loss is measured as the difference 
between the amortized cost basis of the loan and the fair value of the underlying collateral. The fair value of the collateral is adjusted 
for the estimated costs to sell as appropriate. 

The  allowance  for  pooled  basis  loans  is  comprised  of  the  quantitative  and  qualitative  allowance.    The  quantitative  allowance  is 
calculated using either a discounted cash flow methodology (DCF) or a weighted-average remaining maturity (WARM) methodology. 

Under the DCF quantitative approach the probability of default is an assumption derived from regression models which determines 
the relationship between historical defaults and national unemployment.  The Company determines a reasonable and supportable 
forecast and applies that forecast to the regression model to determine defaults over the forecast period.  The Company leverages 
economic projections from independent third-parties on quarterly basis.  Following the forecast period, the economic variables used 
to calculate the probability of default reverts to its historical mean on a straight-line basis. Management selected a reasonable and 
supportable forecast period of 4 quarters with a reversion period of 4 quarters. Both the reasonable and supportable forecast period 
and  the  reversion  period  are  periodically  reviewed  by  management.  Other  assumptions  relevant  to  the  DCF  model  to  derive  the 
quantitative  allowance  include  the  loss  given  default,  which  is  the  estimate  of  loss  for  a  defaulted  loan,  the  discount  rate,  and 
prepayment  speed  applied  to  future  cash  flows.    The  DCF  model  calculates  the  net  present  value  of  each  loan  using  both  the 
contractual and expected cash flows, respectively. 

The  Company  has  identified  the  following  portfolio  segments  and  calculates  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  using  the  DCF 
methodology:  

Commercial: Commercial loans generally are loans to sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and other business enterprises 
to  finance  working  capital,  capital  investment,  or  for  other  business  related  purposes.  Collateral  generally  consists  of  pledges  of 
business assets or interests, including but not limited to accounts receivable, inventory, plant and equipment, and real estate interests, 

8 

if  applicable.  The  primary  repayment  sources  for  commercial  loans  are  the  cash  flow  of  the  operating  businesses  which  can  be 
adversely affected by company, industry and economic business cycles. Commercial loans may be secured or unsecured. 

Commercial Real Estate Owner Occupied:  Owner occupied commercial real estate loans are properties that are owned and operated 
by the borrower and the primary source for repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the 
borrower’s business. The primary risk characteristics are specific to the underlying business and its ability to generate sustainable 
profitability and positive cash flow. Also, certain types of businesses also may require specialized facilities that can increase costs and 
may not be economically feasible to an alternative user, which could adversely impact the market value of the collateral. Factors that 
may influence a borrower's ability to repay their loan include demand for the business’ products or services, the quality and depth of 
management, the degree of competition, regulatory changes, and general economic conditions. 

Commercial Real Estate Non-Owner Occupied: Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are investment properties and the 
primary source for repayment of the loan is derived from rental income associated with the property or proceeds of the sale of the 
property. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans consist of mortgage loans to finance investments in real property that 
may  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  commercial/retail  office  space,  multifamily  properties,  industrial/warehouse  space,  hotels, 
assisted  living  facilities  and  other  specific  use  properties.  The  primary  risk  characteristics  include  impacts  of  overall  leasing  rates, 
absorption timelines, levels of vacancy rates and operating expenses, and general economic conditions. 

HELOC & Consumer: Home equity line of credit (HELOC) and consumer loans generally include personal lines of credit and amortizing 
loans  made  to  qualified  individuals  for  various  purposes  such  as  auto  loans,  debt  consolidation  loans,  home  improvements,  and 
personal expense. The primary risk characteristics associated with HELOC and consumer loans typically include major changes to the 
borrower’s financial or personal circumstances, including unemployment or other loss of income, unexpected significant expenses, 
such as for major medical expenses, catastrophic events, divorce or death. In addition, fluctuations in collateral values can significantly 
impact the credit quality of these loans. 

Land  &  Land  Development:  Land  and  development  loans  are  generally  loans  to  acquire  raw  land  or  finance  land  development  of 
industrial, commercial, or multifamily buildings secured by real estate. The primary risk characteristics are specific to the uncertainty 
on  whether the development will be  completed  according  to  the  specifications  and schedules  and  the reliance  on  the sale  of  the 
completed  project  as  the  primary  repayment  source  for  the  loan.  Factors  that  may  influence  the  development  may  be  customer 
specific, such as the quality and depth of property management, or related to changes in general economic conditions. Trends in the 
commercial and residential construction industries can significantly impact the credit quality of these loans due to supply and demand 
imbalances. In addition, fluctuations in real estate values can significantly impact the credit quality of these loans, as property values 
may determine the economic viability of construction projects and adversely impact the value of the collateral securing the loan. 

Residential Real Estate: Residential real estate loans are 1-4 family mortgage loans generally to finance loans on owner occupied and 
non-owner occupied properties. Residential real estate loans are secured by first or second liens on the property. The degree of risk 
in residential mortgage lending involving owner occupied properties depends primarily on the borrower’s ability to repay and the loan 
amount in relation to collateral value. Economic trends determined by unemployment rates and other key economic indicators are 
closely correlated  to the  credit quality  of  these loans.  Weak  economic trends  indicate  that the borrower’s  capacity  to repay  their 
obligations  may  be  deteriorating.  Residential  real  estate  loans  include  credits  to  finance  non-owner  occupied  properties  used  as 
rentals.  These loans can involve additional risks  as  the  borrower’s  ability to  repay is  based  on the net operating income  from  the 
property which can  be impacted  by occupancy levels, rental  rates, and  operating expenses.  Declines in net  operating income  can 
negatively impact the value of the property which increases the credit risk in the event of default. 

Speculative Residential Construction: Speculative residential construction loans are generally loans to finance the construction of new 
structures, additions or alterations to existing structures, or the demolition of existing structures to  make way for new residential 
structures. Speculative residential construction loans are generally secured by real estate. The primary risk characteristics are specific 
to the uncertainty on whether the construction will be completed according to the specifications and schedules. Factors that may 
influence the completion of residential construction may be customer specific or related to changes in general economic conditions.  

Under the WARM quantitative approach relevant historical loss experience from peer bank data over a specific lookback period, and 
an estimated life for each segment, are applied to current segment loan balances to calculate the allowance for credit losses.  

9 

The  Company  has  identified  the  following  portfolio  segments  and  calculates  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  using  the  WARM 
methodology:  

Credit  Card  Receivables:  Credit  card  receivables  include  personal  and  business  lines  of  credit  for  various  personal  and  business 
purposes. The primary risk characteristics associated typically include the borrower’s financial circumstances including loss of income, 
and/or unexpected significant expense(s). 

Farmland: Farmland loans are loans secured by farmland and improvements thereon.  Farmland includes all land known to be used or 
usable for agriculture purposes, such as crops and livestock production. The primary repayment sources for farmland loans are the 
cash flow of the agriculture business, therefore primary risk characteristics can be adversely affected by weather conditions, disease, 
and commodity prices. 

Ready Reserve, Overdrafts, & Fresh Start Loans: Ready Reserve, Overdrafts, & Fresh Start loans generally include unsecured smaller 
balance loans, at the individual and aggregate level, resulting from overdrawing deposit accounts.  The primary risk characteristics 
associated with these loans typically include the borrower’s financial or personal circumstances. 

In addition to the quantitative portion of the allowance for credit losses, qualitative factors are used to cover losses that are expected 
but, in the Company’s assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative analysis. These qualitative factors serve to 
compensate for additional areas of uncertainty inherent in the portfolio.  Each qualitative loss factor, for each loan segment within 
the portfolio, incorporates consideration for a minimum to maximum range for loss factors. These qualitative factor adjustments may 
increase or decrease the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses and are applied to each loan segment.  The qualitative factors 
applied to each loan segment include: 
Economic conditions 
Changes in nature and volume of the portfolio 
Credit and lending staff/administration 
Problem loan trends 
Concentrations 
Loan review results 
Collateral values 
Regulatory and business environment

Allowance for credit losses–Unfunded Commitments: In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments 
to extend credit, including commitments under credit arrangements, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Such 
financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet when they are funded. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of 
nonperformance  by  the  other  party  to  the  financial  instrument  for  off-balance  sheet  loan  commitments  is  represented  by  the 
contractual amount of those instruments. 

The Company records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit 
are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to provision for unfunded commitments in the Company’s income statements. The 
allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the 
current expected  credit  loss  model  using the same  methodologies  as  portfolio loans, taking into consideration  the  likelihood that 
funding will occur as well as any third-party guarantees. The allowance for unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on 
the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. 

Premises  and  equipment:  Premises  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation,  which  is  computed  on  the 
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Asset lives range from 3 to 39 years.  Leasehold improvements are 
amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is less.  Gains or losses 
on dispositions are reflected in earnings. 

Right of Use Lease Asset & Lease Liability: The Company leases retail space, office space and equipment under operating leases.  For 
operating  leases  greater  than  12  months,  an  operating  right  of  use  (ROU)  asset  and  an  operating  lease  liability  (lease  liability)  is 
recorded on the consolidated financial statements.   The Company elected not to include short-term leases (i.e., leases with initial 
terms of twelve months or less), or equipment leases (deemed immaterial) on the consolidated financial statements.  

The calculated amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rates used 
to calculate the present value of minimum lease payments. For the discount rate the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate

at lease inception over a similar term. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as 
of January 1, 2019 was used.  

Other real estate owned: Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at 
the fair value of the properties less estimated costs of disposal.  Any write-down to fair value at the time of transfer to other real 
estate owned (“OREO”) is charged to the allowance for credit losses.  Properties are evaluated regularly to ensure that the recorded 
amounts are supported by their current fair values, and that write-downs to reduce the carrying amounts to fair value less estimated 
costs  to  dispose  are  recorded  as  necessary.  Any  subsequent  reductions  in  carrying  values,  and  revenue  and  expense  from  the 
operations of properties, are charged to operations. 

Bank-owned life insurance: Bank owned life insurance is carried at the amount due upon surrender of the policy, which is also the 
estimated fair value. This amount was provided by the insurance companies based on the terms of the underlying insurance contract. 

Goodwill and other intangible assets: At December 31, 2023 the Company had $13.4 million in goodwill and other intangible assets.  
Goodwill is initially recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified 
tangible and intangible assets acquired.  Goodwill is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events 
or  circumstances  indicate  a  potential impairment, at the reporting unit  level.    The Company has one  reporting unit, the Bank, for 
purposes of computing goodwill.  An assessment of qualitative factors is completed to determine if it is more likely than not that the 
fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative analysis concludes that further analysis is required, then 
a quantitative impairment test would be completed. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is used to identify the existence of 
impairment  and  the  amount  of  impairment  loss  and  compares  the  reporting  unit’s  estimated  fair  value,  including  goodwill,  to  its 
carrying  amount.  If  the  fair  value  exceeds  the  carrying  amount  then  goodwill  is  not  considered  impaired.  If  the  carrying  amount 
exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized equal to the amount of excess, limited to the amount of total goodwill 
allocated to that reporting unit. The impairment loss would be recognized as a charge to earnings. 

For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2023  and  2022,  the  Company’s  goodwill  impairment  evaluation,  based  on  its  qualitative 
assessment, indicated there was no impairment.  No assurance can be given that the Company will not record an impairment loss on 
goodwill in the future. 

In 2006, the Bank completed a deposit transfer and assumption transaction with an Oregon-based bank for a $1.3 million premium.  In 
connection with completion  of the transaction, the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services issued a Certificate of 
Authority to the Bank authorizing it to conduct a banking business in the State of Oregon.  The premium, and the resultant right to 
conduct business in Oregon, is recorded as an indefinite-lived intangible asset. 

Impairment  of  long-lived  assets:  Management  periodically  reviews  the  carrying  value  of  its  long-lived  assets  to  determine  if 
impairment has occurred or whether changes in circumstances have occurred that would require a revision to the remaining useful 
life, of which there have been none.  In making such determination, management evaluates the performance, on an undiscounted 
basis, of the underlying operations or assets which give rise to such amount.

Transfers  of financial  assets: Transfers of financial assets, including  cash,  investment  securities, loans and  loans held for sale,  are 
accounted  for  as  sales  when  control  over  the  assets  has  been  surrendered.    Control  over  transferred  assets  is  deemed  to  be 
surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that 
constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain 
effective control over the transferred assets through either an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity, or the ability to 
cause the buyer to return specific assets. 

Advertising: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. 

Income taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the 
tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred 
tax  assets  or  liabilities  are  expected  to  be  realized  or  settled.    Deferred  tax  assets  are  reduced  by  a  valuation  allowance  when 
management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  As 
changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. 

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return.  The Bank provides for income taxes separately and remits to the Company 
amounts currently due in accordance with a tax allocation agreement between the Company and the Bank. 

11 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.  The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties 
on  unrecognized tax  benefits in  “Income Taxes”  in  the  consolidated statements of income.   The  amount  of  interest and penalties 
accrued as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and recognized during the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 were 
immaterial. The tax years that remain subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities are the years ended December 
31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.   

Stock-based compensation: Accounting guidance requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock based awards based on 
the grant date fair value and recognition of compensation cost over the service period of stock based awards.  The fair value of stock 
options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  The Company’s stock compensation plans are described more fully in 
Note 16.

Cash  equivalents and  cash flows:  The Company  considers all  amounts  included in  the  balance sheet  caption “Cash  and due  from 
banks” to be cash equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents have a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase.  Cash flows from 
loans, interest bearing deposits in banks, federal funds sold, short-term borrowings, secured borrowings and deposits are reported 
net.  The Company maintains balances in depository institution accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  The 
Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Certificates  of  deposit  held  for  investment:  Certificates  of  deposit  held  for  investments  include  amounts  invested  with  financial 
institutions for a stated interest rate and maturity date and are included in the balance sheet caption “Other interest earning deposits”. 
Early withdrawal penalties apply, however the Company plans to hold these investments to maturity.

Earnings  per  share:  Basic  earnings  per  share  excludes  dilution  and  is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  by  the  weighted  average 
number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if common shares 
were exercised or issued under the Company’s stock compensation plans.  Stock options and restricted stock units excluded from the 
calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are antidilutive, were 182,000 and 122,000 in 2023 and 2022, respectively.  

Comprehensive income: Recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses are included in net income.  Certain changes in assets and 
liabilities, such as prior service costs and amortization of prior service costs related to defined benefit plans and unrealized gains and 
losses on securities available for sale, are reported within equity in other accumulated comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance 
sheet.  Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive loss.  Gains and losses on securities available for sale 
are reclassified to net income as the gains or losses are realized upon sale of the securities.

Business segment: The Company operates a single business segment.  The financial information that is used by the chief operating 
decision maker in allocating resources and assessing performance is only provided for one reportable segment as of December 31, 
2023 and 2022. 

Revenue  Recognition:  The  Company  recognizes  revenue  as  it  is  earned  based  on  contractual  terms,  as  transactions  occur,  or  as 
services  are  provided  and  collectability  is  reasonably  assured.  The  principal  source  of  revenue  is  interest  income  from  loans  and 
investments,  which  is  out  of  scope  of  ASC  606  Revenue  Recognition.  The  Company  also  earns  non-interest  income  from  various 
banking services offered to its customers.  Gain on sales of loans, investment securities, earnings on bank-owned life insurance, and 
other income are not within the scope of ASC 606.  The Company’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 
606 is recognized in non-interest income. Certain specific policies related to those in scope with revenue streams income include the 
following: 

Service  Charges  on  Deposit  Accounts  –  The  Company  earns  fees  from  its  deposit  customers  by  providing  contractual  transaction-
based,  account  maintenance,  and  overdraft  services.  Transaction-based  fees,  which  include  services  such  as  ATM  use  fees,  stop 
payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed at the point in time the 
Company  fulfills  the  customer’s  request  for  product  or  service.  Fees,  which  relate  primarily  to  deposit  account  maintenance,  are 
earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies its performance obligation. Fees for 
performing that service are then assessed at the close of the statement period. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that 
the overdraft is created by the payment of a check against a deposit account in which there are not sufficient funds to pay that item. 
Service  charges  on  deposits  are  collected  directly  from  the  customer’s  account  balance  per  the  terms  of  the  contract  with  the 
depositor. 

12 

Interchange and Other Fees – The Company earns interchange fees from debit or credit cardholder transactions, from cards issued 
by the Company to its customers or processed for non-customers, conducted through various card payment networks. Interchange 
fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently 
with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.  Other service charges include revenue from processing wire 
transfers, bill pay  service, cashier’s  checks,  and other services.  The  Company’s  performance obligation for interchange  and other 
service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when completion of the services are rendered at a point in time. 

The  following  table  presents  the  Company’s  noninterest  income  by  revenue  stream  and  reportable  segment  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2023 and 2022. Items outside the scope of ASC 606 are noted as such.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023: On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses 
(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology 
with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an 
estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and 
reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables 
and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. 
Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for 
credit losses.  

In addition, CECL made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to 
be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities if management does not intend to sell 
and does not believe that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell. 

The  Company  adopted  ASC  326  and  all  related  subsequent  amendments  thereto  effective  January  1,  2023,  using  the  modified 
retrospective  approach  for  all  financial  assets  measured  at  amortized  cost  and  off-balance  sheet  credit  exposures.  The  transition 
adjustment of the adoption of CECL included a decrease in the allowance for credit losses on loans of $157,000, which is presented as 
a reduction to net loans outstanding, and an increase in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $609,000, 
which is recorded within Other Liabilities. The adoption of CECL had an insignificant impact on the Company's held-to-maturity and 
available-for-sale securities portfolios. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $452,000 as of January 1, 2023, 
for the cumulative effect of adopting CECL. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023, are presented under CECL 
while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable accounting standards (“Incurred Loss”).

The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable and instead elected to reverse 
interest income on loans or securities that are placed on nonaccrual status, which is generally when the instrument is 90 days past 
due, or earlier if the Company believes the collection of interest is doubtful. The Company has concluded that this policy results in the 
timely reversal of uncollectible interest. 

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and 
Vintage Disclosures. This ASU updates guidance in Topic 326 to eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings, or 
TDRs,  by  creditors  in  Subtopic  310-40,  Receivables  –  Troubled  Debt  Restructurings  by  Creditors,  while  enhancing  disclosure 
requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructuring activities by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. 
Additionally, the amendments to ASC 326 require that an entity disclose current period gross write offs by year of origination within 
the  vintage  disclosures,  which  requires  that  an  entity  disclose  the  amortized  cost  basis  of  financial  receivables  by  credit  quality 
indicator and class of financing receivables by year of origination. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2023 
and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

NOTE 2 – RESTRICTED ASSETS 

The Federal Reserve has the authority to establish reserve requirements on transaction accounts or non-personal time deposits.  These 
reserves may be in the form of cash or deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank.  Effective on March 26, 2020, the Federal Reserve 
reduced requirements to zero percent. The Federal Reserve may adjust reserve requirement ratios in the future at its discretion.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND NONMARKETABLE INVESTMENT SECURITIES 

Investment securities 

Investment  securities  consist  principally  of  short  and  intermediate  term  debt  instruments  issued  by  the  U.S.  Treasury,  other  U.S. 
government agencies, state and local governments, other corporations, collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgaged backed 
securities (“MBS”).  Investment securities have been classified according to management’s intent.  There was no allowance for credit 
losses on investment securities as of December 31, 2023.

At December 31, 2023, there were 220 available for sale and held to maturity investment securities in an unrealized loss position.  The 
unrealized losses on these securities were caused by changes in interest rates and widening pricing spreads, leading to a decline in the 

16 

fair value  subsequent to their  purchase.   The  Company has evaluated  the  securities  shown  above and anticipates  full recovery  of 
amortized cost with respect to these securities at maturity or sooner in the event of a more favorable market environment 

For  collateralized  mortgage  obligations  (“CMOs”)  the  Company  estimates  expected  future  cash  flows  of  the  underlying  collateral, 
together  with  any  credit  enhancements.    The  expected  future  cash  flows  of  the  underlying  collateral  are  determined  using  the 
remaining contractual cash flows adjusted for future expected credit losses (which considers current delinquencies, future expected 
default rates and collateral value by vintage) and prepayments.  The expected cash flows of the security are then discounted to arrive 
at a present value amount.  The Company has not recorded impairments related to credit losses through earnings for the years ended 
December 31, 2023.   

At December 31, 2022, there were 241 available for sale and held to maturity investment securities in an unrealized loss position.   For 
periods  prior  to  adoption  of  ASC  326,  management  conducted  a  review  and  evaluation  of  its  securities  for  other  than  temporary 
impairment. The Company evaluated the securities and anticipates full recovery of amortized cost with respect to these securities at 
maturity  or  sooner  in  the  event  of  a  more  favorable  market  environment.    Based  on  management’s  evaluation,  and  because  the 
Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that it will have to sell the securities before 
recovery of cost basis, these investments were not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2022. 

The following table provides gross realized gains and losses on the sales of securities for the periods indicated:

At December 31, 2023, the Company had no securities held-to-maturity that were past due 30 days or more as to principal or interest 
payments. The Company had no securities held-to-maturity classified as nonaccrual for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Nonmarketable investment securities

As required of all members of the FHLB system, the Company maintains an investment in the capital stock of the FHLB in an amount 
of 0.06% of total assets plus 4.50% of outstanding advances.  Participating banks record the value of FHLB stock equal to its par value 
at $100 per share.  At December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company held $783,000 and $1.6 million in FHLB stock, respectively. 

The  Company owns $1.0 million  in  common stock  in  PCBB, from which  the Company  receives  a  variety  of  corresponding banking 
services  through  its  banking  subsidiary  Pacific  Coast  Bankers  Bank.  When  evaluating  this  investment  for  impairment,  the  value  is 
determined based on the recovery of the par value through any redemption by PCBB or from the sale to another eligible purchaser, 
rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. PCBB disclosed that it reported net income for the twelve month period ended 
December 31, 2023 and maintains capital ratios that exceed “well capitalized” standards for regulatory purposes.

Commercial and Agricultural.  The Company's commercial and agricultural loans consist primarily of secured revolving operating lines 
of credit, equipment financing, accounts receivable and inventory financing and business term loans, some of which may be partially 
guaranteed by the Small Business Administration or the U.S. Department of Agriculture.  The Company’s credit policies determine 
advance rates against the different forms of collateral that can be pledged against commercial loans.  Typically, the majority of loans 
will  be  limited  to  a  percentage  of  the  underlying  collateral  values  such  as  equipment,  eligible  accounts  receivable  and  finished 
inventory.  Individual advance rates may be higher or lower depending upon the financial strength of the borrower, quality of the 
collateral and/or term of the loan. 

Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). This program was established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES 
Act”), enacted on March 27, 2020, in response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The PPP was administered 
by the Small Business Administration (SBA). PPP loans may be forgiven by the SBA and are 100 percent guaranteed by the SBA.  These 
loans have either a two-year or five-year maturity date and earn interest at 1%.  The Bank also earns a fee based on the size of the 
loan, which is recognized over the life of the loan.  The balance of unamortized net deferred fees on SBA PPP loans was $4,000 and 
$17,000 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  

Real Estate.  The Company originates owner occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate and multifamily loans within 
its primary market areas.  Commercial real estate and multifamily loans typically involve a greater degree of risk than single-family 
residential  mortgage  loans.  Payments  on  loans  secured  by  multifamily  and  commercial  real  estate  properties  are  dependent  on 

18 

successful operation and management of the properties and repayment of these loans is affected by adverse conditions in the real 
estate market or the economy.  The Company seeks to minimize these risks by scrutinizing the financial condition of the borrower, the 
quality and value of the collateral, and the management of the property securing the loan.  In addition, commercial real estate loan 
portfolios are reviewed annually to evaluate the performance of individual loans that are $1 million and larger for potential changes 
in interest rates, occupancy, and collateral values. 

Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are loans in which less than 50% of the property is occupied by the owner and 
include loans such as apartment complexes, hotels and motels, retail centers and mini-storage facilities.  Repayment of non-owner 
occupied commercial real estate loans is dependent upon the lease or resale of the subject property.  Loan amortizations range from 
10 to 30 years, although terms typically do  not exceed  10 years.  Interest  rates  can  be  either floating  or  fixed.  Floating rates  are 
typically indexed to the prime rate, SOFR, or Federal Home Loan Bank advance rates plus a defined margin.  Fixed rates are generally 
set for periods of three to ten years with either a rate reset provision or a payment due at maturity.  Prepayment penalties are often 
sought on term commercial real estate loans. 

The Company originates single-family residential construction loans for custom homes where the home buyer is the borrower. It has 
also provided financing to builders for the construction of pre-sold homes and to builders for the construction of speculative residential 
property.  The  Company  endeavors  to  limit  construction  lending  risks  through  adherence  to  specific  underwriting  guidelines  and 
procedures.  Repayment of construction loans is dependent upon the sale of individual homes to consumers or in some cases to other 
developers.  Construction loans are generally short-term in nature and most loans mature in one to two years.  Interest rates are 
usually floating and fully indexed to a short-term rate index.  The Company's credit policies address maximum loan to value, cash 
equity requirements, inspection requirements, and overall credit strength. 

The majority of one-to-four family residential loans are secured by single-family residences located in the Company’s primary market 
areas. Single-family portfolio loans are generally owner-occupied with terms typically ranging from 15 to 30 years.  Repayment of 
these loans comes from the borrower’s personal cash flows and liquidity, and collateral values are a function of residential real estate 
values in the markets we serve.  These loans include primary residences, second homes, rental homes and home equity loans and 
home equity lines of credit.  

Consumer.  The Company originates consumer loans and lines of credit that are both secured and unsecured.  Underwriting standards 
ensures  a  qualifying  primary  and secondary  source of repayment.   Underwriting standards for home equity  loans  are  significantly 
influenced  by  statutory  requirements.  To  monitor  and  manage  consumer  loan  risk,  policies  and  procedures  are  developed  and 
modified, as needed.  The majority of consumer loans are disbursed among many individual borrowers which reduces the credit risk 
for  this type of loan.  The Company  also purchases indirect  consumer loans  for classic  and exotic cars.  Deposit account  overdrafts 
reported as consumer loans totaled $104,000 and $108,000 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, $395.6 million and $289.1 million, respectively, of loans were pledged as collateral on FHLB advances. 
The Company has also pledged $89.4 million and $80.8 million of loans to the FRB for additional borrowing capacity at December 31, 
2023 and 2022, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators 
including trends related to risk rating classifications of loans, the level of classified loans, net charge-offs, past due and non-performing 
loans, as well as general economic conditions of the United States of America and specifically the states of Washington and Oregon.   

Numerical risk rating classifications for loans are established at origination.  Changes to the risk rating classification are considered as 
new  information  about  the  performance  of  the  loan  becomes  available,  including  but  not  limited  to  receipt  of  updated  financial 
information from the borrower, results of annual term loan reviews and scheduled loan reviews. 

Federal regulations require that the Bank periodically evaluate the risks inherent in its loan portfolios. In addition, the Washington 
Division of Banks and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) have authority to identify problem loans and, if appropriate, 
require them to be reclassified.  

There are three classifications for problem loans: Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss. These terms are used as follows: 

 “Substandard” loans have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility some loss will be 

sustained if the deficiencies are not corrected.  

 “Doubtful”  loans  have  the  weaknesses  of  loans  classified  as  "Substandard,"  with  additional  characteristics  that  suggest  the 
weaknesses make collection or recovery in full after liquidation of collateral questionable on the basis of currently existing facts, 
conditions, and values. There is a high possibility of loss in loans classified as "Doubtful."  

 “Loss”  loans  are  considered  uncollectible  and  of  such  little  value  that  continued  classification  of  the  credit  as  a  loan  is  not 
warranted. If a loan or a portion thereof is classified as "Loss," it must be charged-off; meaning the amount of the loss is charged 
against the allowance for credit losses, thereby reducing that reserve.  

The Bank also classifies some loans as “Pass” or Other Loans Especially Mentioned (“OLEM”). Within the “Pass” classification certain 
loans are “Watch” rated because they have elements of risk that require more monitoring than other performing loans. “Pass” grade 
loans include a range of loans from very high credit quality to acceptable credit quality.  These borrowers generally have strong to 
acceptable capital levels and consistent earnings and debt service capacity.  Loans with higher grades within the “Pass” category may 
include borrowers who are experiencing unusual operating difficulties, but have acceptable payment performance to date.  Overall, 
loans  with  a  “Pass”  grade  show  no  immediate  loss  exposure.    Loans  classified  as  OLEM  continue  to  perform  but  have  shown 
deterioration in credit quality and require close monitoring.

Collateral Dependent Loans

The Company designates individually evaluated loans on nonaccrual status as collateral-dependent loans, as well as other loans that 
management  of  the  Company  designates  as  having  higher  risk.  Collateral-dependent  loans  are  loans  for  which  the  repayment  is 
expected  to  be  provided  substantially  through  the  operation  or  sale  of  the  collateral  and  the  borrower  is  experiencing  financial 
difficulty.  These  loans  do  not  share  common  risk  characteristics  and  are  not  included  within  the  collectively  evaluated  loans  for 
determining  the  allowance  for  credit  losses.  Under  CECL,  for  collateral-dependent  loans,  the  Company  has  adopted  the  practical 
expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of collateral. The allowance for credit losses is calculated 
on  an  individual loan basis based  on  the  shortfall between the fair value of  the loan's  collateral,  which  is  adjusted  for  liquidation 
costs/discounts, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required. 

The following table presents an analysis of collateral-dependent loans of the Company as of December 31, 2023:

Impaired Loans

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, loans were considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it was probable 
the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreements. 
Impaired loans include loans on nonaccrual status and accruing troubled debt restructurings. When determining if the Company would 
be  unable to collect all  principal and  interest  payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement, the 
Company considered the borrower’s capacity to pay, which included such factors as the borrower’s current financial statements, an 
analysis  of  global  cash  flow  sufficient  to  pay  all  debt  obligations  and  an  evaluation  of  secondary  sources  of  repayment,  such  as 
guarantor support and collateral value. The Company individually assessed for impairment all nonaccrual loans and all troubled debt 
restructurings. The tables below include all loans deemed impaired, whether or not individually assessed for impairment. If a loan was 
deemed impaired, a specific valuation allowance was allocated, if necessary, so that the loan was reported net, at the present value 
of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment was expected solely from the 
collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans were typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount was 
reasonably assured, in which case interest was recognized on a cash basis. 

The following table presents loans individually evaluated for impairment by class of loans, excluding PCI loans, as of December 31, 
2022:

Purchased Credit Deteriorated  

Loans purchased or acquired in business combinations are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date.  Acquired loans are 
evaluated upon acquisition and classified as either purchased credit-deteriorated (PCD) or purchase non-credit-deteriorated.  There 
were no PCD loans at December 31, 2023. 

Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty 

The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset 
origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which 
includes losses from  modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company uses a probability of 
default/loss given default model to determine the allowance for credit losses. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing 
financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification. 

Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for 
credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses 
is generally not recorded upon modification. Occasionally, the Company modifies loans by providing principal forgiveness on its real 
estate loans. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for 
credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, 
resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses. 

In some cases, the Company will modify a certain loan by providing multiple types of concessions. Typically, one type of concession, 
such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as 

24 

principal  forgiveness,  may  be  granted.  For  the  real  estate  loans  included  in  the  “combination”  columns  below,  multiple  types  of 
modifications have been made on the same loan within the current reporting period. The combination is at least two of the following: 
a term extension, principal forgiveness, and interest rate reduction. 

Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan 
(or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the 
allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount. 

For the twelve months  ended  December 31,  2023, the  Company  modifications  to  borrowers  experiencing financial  difficulty were 
immaterial to the financial statements.     

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans 

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2022-02, a modification of a loan constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) 
when  a  borrower  is  experiencing  financial  difficulty  and  the  modification  constitutes  a  concession.   There  are  various  types  of 
concessions when modifying a loan, however, forgiveness of principal is rarely granted by the Company.  Commercial and industrial 
loans modified in a TDR may involve term extensions, below market interest rates and/or interest-only payments wherein the delay 
in  the  repayment  of  principal  is  determined  to  be  significant  when  all  elements  of  the  loan  and  circumstances  are 
considered.   Additional  collateral,  a  co-borrower,  or  a  guarantor  is  often  required.    Commercial  mortgage  and  construction  loans 
modified in a TDR often involve reducing the interest rate for the remaining term of the loan, extending the maturity date at an interest 
rate  lower  than  the  current  market  rate  for  new  debt  with  similar  risk,  or  substituting  or  adding  a  new  borrower  or 
guarantor.  Construction loans modified in a TDR may also involve extending the interest-only payment period.  Residential mortgage 
loans  modified  in  a  TDR  are  primarily  comprised  of  loans  where  monthly  payments  are  lowered  to  accommodate  the  borrowers’ 
financial needs.  Land loans are typically structured as interest-only monthly payments with a balloon payment due at maturity.  Land 
loans  modified  in  a  TDR  typically  involve  extending  the  balloon  payment  by  one  to  three  years,  and  providing  an  interest  rate 
concession.    Home  equity  modifications  are  made  infrequently  and  are  uniquely  designed  to  meet  the  specific  needs  of  each 
borrower.   

Loans modified in a TDR are considered impaired loans and typically already on non-accrual status.  Partial charge-offs have in some 
cases already been taken against the outstanding loan balance.  Loans modified in a TDR for the Company may have the financial effect 
of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan.  An allowance for impaired loans that have been modified in a TDR is 
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the estimated 
fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent.  The Company’s practice is to re-appraise collateral 
dependent loans every six to twelve months.  

Effective  January  1,  2023  the  Company  adopted  the  provision  of  ASU  2022-02,  which  eliminated  the  accounting  for  TDRs,  while 
expanding loan modification and vintage disclosure requirements.  Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, during the twelve months 
ended December 31, 2022, there was a $63,000 decrease on the allowance from TDRs during the period.  The Company had $87,000 
in commitments to lend additional funds for loans classified as TDRs at December 31, 2022.

Unfunded Commitments 

The  Company  maintains  a  separate  reserve  for  credit  losses  on  off-balance-sheet  credit  exposures,  including  unfunded  loan 
commitments, which is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The reserve for credit losses on off-balance-
sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit losses in the income statement. The estimate includes consideration of the 
likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated 
life, utilizing the same models and approaches for the Company's other loan portfolio segments described above, as these unfunded 
commitments share similar risk characteristics as its loan portfolio segments. The Company has identified the unfunded portion of 
certain lines of credit as unconditionally cancellable credit exposures, meaning the Company can cancel the unfunded commitment at 
any  time.  No  credit  loss  estimate  is  reported  for  off-balance-sheet  credit  exposures  that  are  unconditionally  cancellable  by  the 
Company or for undrawn amounts under such arrangements that may be drawn prior to the cancellation of the arrangement. 

On January 1, 2023, the Company recorded an adjustment for unfunded commitments of $609,000 for the adoption of ASC Topic 326. 
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a reversal for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $113,000. 
At December 31, 2023, the liability for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures included in other liabilities was $698,000.

Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and Other Borrowings 
The Bank may borrow funds on an overnight basis from the Federal Reserve Bank through the Borrower-In-Custody program.  Such 
borrowings are secured by a pledge of eligible loans.  At December 31, 2023, the Bank had an available discount window primary credit 
line with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco of approximately $66.3 million with no balance outstanding.  The Company did 
not utilize any Federal Reserve borrowing facility, other than for operational testing, during the twelve months ended December 31, 
2023. 

29 

At December 31, 2023, the Bank had unsecured federal funds lines of credit agreements with other financial institutions totaling $60.0 
million. No balances were outstanding under these agreements as of December 31, 2023. Availability of lines is subject to continued 
borrower eligibility.   

NOTE 11 – JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES 

At December 31, 2023, two wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts established by the Company had outstanding $13.4 million of Trust 
Preferred Securities.  Trust preferred securities accrue and pay distributions periodically at specified annual rates as provided in the 
indentures.    The  trusts  used  the  net  proceeds  from  the  offering  of  trust  preferred  securities  to  purchase  a  like  amount  of  Junior 
Subordinated  Debentures  (the  “Debentures”)  of  the Company.    The Debentures  are the sole  assets of  the trusts.   The Company’s 
obligations under the Debentures and the related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the 
Company  of  the  obligations  of  the  trusts.    The  trust  preferred  securities  are  mandatorily  redeemable  upon  the  maturity  of  the 
Debentures, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indentures.  The Company has the right to redeem the Debentures in whole 
or in part, at a redemption price specified in the indentures plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date. 

The Debentures issued by the Company to the grantor trusts totaling $13.0 million are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet in 
the  liabilities  section  under  the  caption  “junior  subordinated  debentures.”  The  Company  records  interest  expense  on  the 
corresponding junior subordinated debentures in the consolidated statements of income. The  Company recorded $403,000 in the 
consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 and 2022 for the common capital securities issued by the issuer trusts. 

As  of  December  31,  2023  and  2022,  regular  accrued  interest  on  junior  subordinated  debentures  totaled  $155,000  and  $126,000, 
respectively, and is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.   

The terms of the junior subordinated debentures as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are:

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES 

The Company recorded an income  tax provision  for  the twelve  months ended  December 31, 2023 and  2022.   The  amount  of  the 
provision for each period was commensurate with the estimated tax liability associated with the net income earned during the period.  
As of December 31, 2023, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will be able to fully realize its deferred tax asset 
and therefore has not recorded a valuation allowance. 

The Company's provision for income taxes includes both federal and state income taxes and reflects the application of federal and 
state statutory rates to the Company's income before taxes. The principal difference between statutory tax rates and the Company's 
effective tax rate is the benefit derived from investing in tax-exempt securities, tax-exempt loans and bank owned life insurance.  

30 

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined 
based on the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax 
basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in the Company’s income tax returns. The effect on deferred taxes 
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established 
to reduce the net carrying amount of deferred tax assets if it is determined to be more likely than not that all or some portion of the 
potential deferred tax asset will not be realized.   

The  Company  applies  the  provisions  of  ASC  740,  “Income  Taxes”,  relating  to  the  accounting  for  uncertainty  in  income  taxes.  The 
Company periodically reviews its income tax positions based on tax laws and regulations, and financial reporting considerations, and 
records adjustments as appropriate. This review takes into consideration the status of current taxing authorities’ examinations of the 
Company’s tax returns, recent positions taken by the taxing authorities on similar transactions, if any, and the overall tax environment. 
The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023.

NOTE 13 – EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 

Incentive Compensation Plan – The Bank has a plan that provides incentive compensation to key employees if the Bank meets certain 
performance criteria established by the Board of Directors.  The cost of this plan was $1.7 million and $1.0 million in 2023 and 2022, 
respectively.

401(k) Plans – The Bank has established a 401(k) plan for those employees who meet the eligibility requirements set forth in the plan.  
During any calendar year, eligible employees may contribute up to an amount of salary compensation as allowed by applicable IRS 
code.  Matching contributions by the Bank are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  Contributions totaled $703,000 and $743,000 
for 2023 and 2022, respectively. 

Director  and  Employee  Deferred  Compensation  Plans  –  The  Company  has  director  and  employee  deferred  compensation  plans.  
Under the terms of the plans, a director or employee may participate upon approval by the Board.  The participant may then elect to 
defer a portion of his or her earnings (directors’ fees or salary) as designated at the beginning of each plan year.  Payments begin upon 
retirement, termination, death or permanent disability, sale of the Company, the ten-year anniversary of the participant’s participation 
date, or at the discretion of the Company.  There is currently one participant receiving payments in the director and employee deferred 
compensation plan.  There were no deferrals or ongoing expense to the Company for these plans in 2023 and 2022. The directors of 
a bank acquired  by the Company  in  1999 adopted  two deferred  compensation plans for directors.    One plan provides retirement 
income  benefits  for  all  directors  and  the  other,  a  deferred  compensation  plan,  covers  only  those  directors  who  have  chosen  to 
participate in the plan.  At the time of adopting these plans, the Bank purchased life insurance policies on directors participating in 
both plans which may be used to fund payments to them under these plans.  Cash surrender values on these policies were $3.2 million 
and $3.1 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  In 2023 and 2022, the net benefit recorded from these plans, including 
the cost of the related life insurance, was $121,000 and $183,000, respectively.  Both of these plans were fully funded and frozen as 
of September 30, 2001.  Plan participants were given the option to either remain in the plan until reaching the age of 70 or to receive 
a lump-sum distribution.  Participants electing to remain in the plan will receive annual payments over a ten-year period upon reaching 
70 years of age.  The liability associated with these plans totaled $19,000 and $34,000 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 

Long-Term  Compensation  Agreements  –  The  Company  has  long-term  compensation  agreements  with  selected  employees  that 
provide incentive for those covered employees to remain employed with the Company for a defined period of time.  A cost of $61,000 
and a benefit of $42,000 was recorded for these agreements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan – Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted a non-qualified Supplemental Executive 
Retirement Plan (“SERP”) that provides retirement benefits to key officers.  The SERP is unsecured and unfunded and there are no 
plan assets.  The post-retirement benefit provided by the SERP is designed to supplement a participating officer’s retirement benefits 
from social security, in order to provide the officer with a certain percentage of final average income at retirement age.  The benefit 
is generally based on average earnings, years of service and age at retirement.  At the inception of the SERP, the Company recorded a 
prior service cost to accumulated other comprehensive income of $704,000.  The Company has purchased bank owned life insurance 
covering all participants in the SERP.  The cash surrender value of these policies totaled $7.5 million and $7.3 million at December 31, 
2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of 
its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, and involve, to varying 
degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on 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 commitments to 
extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Bank uses the same 
credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments.  A summary of the 
Bank’s off-balance sheet commitments at December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in 
the contract.  Many of the commitments expire without being drawn upon; therefore total commitment amounts do not necessarily 
represent future cash requirements.  The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of 
collateral  obtained,  if  deemed  necessary  upon  extension  of  credit,  is  based  on  management’s  credit  evaluation  of  the  customer.  
Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate, 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.  
The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.   

Certain executive officers have entered into employment contracts with the Bank which provide for contingent payments subject to 
future events. 

In connection  with  certain loans held  for sale, the Bank  typically makes  representations  and warranties that  the underlying loans 
conform to specified guidelines.  If the underlying loans do not conform to the specifications, the Bank may have an obligation to 
repurchase the loans or indemnify the purchaser against loss.  The Bank believes that the potential for loss under these arrangements 
is remote.  Accordingly, no contingent liability is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. 

The Company is currently not party to any material pending litigation.  However, because of the nature of its activities, the Company 
may be subject to or threatened with legal actions in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, liabilities arising 
from these claims, if any, will not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. 

NOTE 15 – SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK 

Most of the Bank’s business activity is with customers and governmental entities located in the states of Washington and Oregon.  
Loans to any single borrower or group of borrowers are generally limited by state banking regulations to 20% of the Bank’s capital and 
surplus, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  Standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial 
borrowers.  The Bank, as a matter of practice, generally does not extend credit to any single borrower or group of borrowers in excess 
of $13.0 million. 

NOTE 16 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION 

The Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, (the “2021 Equity Plan”), provides for the issuance of up to 750,000 shares in connection 
with incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards.   

34 

Stock Options 

The  2021  Plan  authorizes  the  issuance  of  incentive  and  non-qualified  stock  options,  as  defined  under  current  tax  laws,  to  key 
personnel.  Options granted under the 2021 Plan either become exercisable ratably over five years or in a single installment five years 
from the date of grant.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock option awards based on assumptions in 
the following table.  Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.  The expected term of stock 
options granted is based on the simplified method, which is the simple average between contractual term and vesting period.  The 
risk-free rate is based on the expected term of stock options and the applicable U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant.

NOTE 17 – REGULATORY MATTERS 

The  Company  and  the  Bank 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  actions  by 
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Under capital 
adequacy  guidelines  on  the  regulatory  framework  for  prompt  corrective  action,  the  Bank  must  meet  specific  capital  adequacy 
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under 
regulatory  accounting  practices.  The  Bank’s  capital  classification  is  also  subject  to  qualitative  judgments  by  the  regulators  about 
components, risk weightings and other factors. 

Effective January 1, 2015 (with some changes transitioned into full effectiveness over two to four years), the Bank became subject to 
new capital adequacy requirements approved by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC that implement the revised standards of the Basel 
Committee on Banking Supervision, commonly called Basel III, and address relevant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Pursuant to 
minimum capital requirements of the FDIC effective on January 1, 2015, all FDIC-insured financial institutions are required to maintain 
a minimum common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5%, a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio to average 
assets of 4.0% and minimum risk-based capital ratios of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and total capital to risk-weighted assets 
of 6.0% and 8.0%, respectively. 

The  Company  is  subject  to  the  Basel  III  regulatory  capital  framework  ("Basel  III  Capital  Rules"),  which  includes  a  2.5%  capital 
conservation  buffer.  The  capital  conservation  buffer  is  designed  to  absorb  losses  during  periods  of  economic  stress  and  requires 
increased capital levels for the purpose of capital distributions and other payments. Failure to meet the full amount of the buffer will 
result in restrictions on the Company's ability to make capital distributions, which includes dividend payments, and stock repurchases 
and certain discretionary bonus payments based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Bank was well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To 
be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as 

37 

set  forth  in  the  table.    There  are  no  conditions  or  events  since  that  notification  that  management  believes  have  changed  the 
institution’s category.

NOTE 18 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 

Fair Value Hierarchy 

The Company uses an established hierarchy for measuring fair value that is intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and 
minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  This hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities 
as follows: 

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active exchange markets for identical assets or liabilities; also includes certain corporate 
debt securities actively traded in over-the-counter markets. 

Level 2 – Valuations of assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets.  Valuations include quoted prices for similar 
assets and liabilities traded in the same market; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and 
model–derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.  Valuations may be obtained 
from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.  This category generally includes  certain U.S.  Government, agency and non-
agency securities,  state and  municipal securities, mortgage backed securities, corporate securities, and residential mortgage loans 
held for sale. 

38 

Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is 
determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, yield curves and similar techniques, as well as instruments for 
which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.  Level 3 valuations incorporate certain 
assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities, but in all cases are corroborated by 
external data, which may include third-party pricing services. 

Investment Securities Available for Sale 

The Company uses an independent pricing service to assist management in determining fair values of investment securities available 
for sale.  This service provides pricing information by utilizing evaluated pricing models supported with market based information.  
Standard  inputs  include  benchmark  yields,  reported  trades,  broker/dealer  quotes,  credit  ratings,  bids  and  offers,  relative  credit 
information and reference data from market research publications.  Investment securities that are deemed to have been trading in 
illiquid or inactive markets may require the use of significant unobservable inputs.   

The  pricing  service  provides  quoted  market  prices  when  available.    Quoted  prices  are  not  always  available  due  to  bond  market 
inactivity.  For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using 
discounted cash flows.  Discounted cash flows are calculated using yield curves models that incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit 
spread and  optionality.  Additionally,  the pricing service  may  obtain a  broker quote  when sufficient information is not available  to 
produce  a valuation.    Valuations and  broker quotes are  non-binding and  do  not  represent  quotes on  which one  may execute  the 
disposition of the assets. 

The  Company  generally  obtains  one  value  from  its  primary  external  third-party  pricing  service.  The  Company’s  third-party  pricing 
service has established processes for us to submit inquiries regarding quoted prices.  The Company’s third-party pricing service will 
review the inputs to the evaluation in light of any new market data presented by us.  The Company’s third-party pricing service may 
then affirm the original quoted price or may update the evaluation on a going forward basis. 

Management reviews the pricing information received from the third party-pricing service through a combination of procedures that 
include an evaluation of methodologies used by the pricing service, analytical reviews and performance analyses of the prices against 
statistics and trends.  Based on this review, management determines whether the current placement of the security in the fair value 
hierarchy is appropriate or  whether transfers  may be warranted.   As  necessary,  the  Company compares  prices  received  from the 
pricing service to discounted cash flow models or through performing independent valuations of inputs and assumptions similar to 
those used by the pricing service in order to ensure prices represent a reasonable estimate of fair value. Although the Company does 
identify differences from time to time as a result of these validation procedures, the Company did not make any significant adjustments 
as of December 31, 2023 or 2022. 

The following table presents the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had one available-for-sale security classified as a Level 3 investment which consists of a non-
rated municipal bond.  The valuation of this security is supported by analysis prepared by an independent third party.  Their approach 
to determining fair value involves using recently executed transactions and market quotations for similar securities.  The security is 
not rated by the rating agencies and there is no trading volume, management determined that this security should be classified as 
Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.  

Transfers between level categorizations may occur due to changes in the availability of market observable inputs, which generally are 
caused by changes in market conditions such as liquidity, trading volume or bid-ask spreads. Transfers between level categorizations 
may also occur due to changes in the valuation source. For example, in situations where a fair value quote is not provided by the 
Company’s independent third-party valuation service provider, and as a result the price is stale, the security is transferred into Level 
3.  There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.   

The  following  table  presents  a  reconciliation  of  assets  that  are  measured  at  fair  value  on  a  recurring  basis  using  significant 
unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain  assets  and  liabilities  are  measured  at  fair  value  on  a  nonrecurring  basis  after  initial  recognition  such  as  loans  individually 
evaluated, loans held for sale and other real estate owned.  The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each such 
class of financial instrument: 

Loans individually evaluated (Impaired Loans prior to January 1, 2023) – The Company individually evaluates loans when a loan over 
$5,000 is  in nonaccrual  status or, prior  to  2023,  when  a loan had  its terms  restructured in a  trouble-debt-restructuring (TDR).  On 
January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02 prospectively. As a result, loans that were restructured prior to adoption are no 
longer considered TDRs and are not individually evaluated. 

In accordance with the provisions of the individually evaluated loan guidance, credit loss is measured on loans when it is probable that 
payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company has 
elected to use the practical expedient to measure individually evaluated loans as collateral dependent when repayment is expected 

40 

to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The credit loss is measured as the difference between the 
amortized cost basis  of  the  loan and  the  fair  value  of  the underlying  collateral.  The fair  value of the  collateral is  adjusted  for  the 
estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of a loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral. Those individually evaluated 
loans  not  requiring  an  allowance  represent  loans  for  which  the  fair  value  of  the  expected  repayments  or  collateral  exceeds  the 
recorded  investments  in  such  loans.  Individually  evaluated  loans  for  which  an  allowance  is  established  based  on  the  fair  value  of 
collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized 
discounting criteria. 

Credit  loss  amounts  on  individually  evaluated  loans  represent  specific  valuation  allowance  and  write-downs  during  the  period 
presented that were individually evaluated for impairment based on the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated selling 
costs, excluding impaired loans fully charged-off. 

Other real estate owned – OREO is initially recorded at the fair value of the property less estimated costs to sell.  This amount becomes 
the property’s new basis.  Management considers third party appraisals in determining the fair value of particular properties.  These 
appraisals  may  utilize  a  single  valuation  approach  or  a  combination  of  approaches  including  comparable  sales  and  the  income 
approach. 

Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and 
income  data  available  and  include  consideration  for  variations  in  location,  size,  and  income  production  capacity  of  the  property.  
Additionally, the appraisals are periodically further adjusted by the Company based on management’s historical knowledge, changes 
in business factors and changes in market conditions.   

Any write-downs based on the property fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance 
for credit losses.  Management periodically reviews OREO to ensure the property is carried at the lower of its new basis or fair value, 
net of estimated costs to sell.  Any additional write-downs based on re-evaluation of the property fair value are charged to non-interest 
expense.    Because  of  the  high  degree  of  judgment  required  in  estimating  the  fair  value  of  OREO  and  because  of  the  relationship 
between  fair  value  and  general  economic  conditions,  we  consider  the  fair  value  of  OREO  to  be  sensitive  to  changes  in  market 
conditions. 

There were no assets held at the end of December 31, 2023 that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The following 
table present the Company’s assets that were held at the end of December 31, 2022 that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring

NOTE 19 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY 

Earnings Per Share 

The Company’s basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders (net income 
less dividends declared by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period). The Company’s diluted 
earnings per common share is computed similar to basic earnings per common share except that the numerator is equal to net income 
available to common shareholders and the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would 
have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Included in the denominator are the dilutive effects of 
stock options and restricted stock awards computed under the treasury stock method as if converted to common stock.

The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Shares subject to outstanding options had exercise prices in excess of the current market value.  Those specific shares are not included 
in the computation of earnings per share above, as exercise of these options would not be dilutive to shareholders. 

Stock Repurchase Program 

On September 21, 2023 the Board of Directors for the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $2.5 million, or approximately 2%, 
of the outstanding common stock of the Company.  Stock repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or through 
privately negotiated transactions.  The timing of purchases and the exact number of shares to be purchased are subject to market 
conditions and may be suspended as deemed appropriate. 

The Company repurchased 38,500 shares, at a weighted average share price of $10.37, during the year ended December 31, 2023. No 
shares were repurchased during the year ended December 31, 2022
