Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Skyline Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Floyd, Virginia. The Company offers a wide range of retail and commercial banking services through its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Skyline National Bank (the “Bank”). On January 1, 2023, the Company changed its name from Parkway Acquisition Corp. to Skyline Bankshares, Inc. to align its brand across the entire organization.
The Company was incorporated as a Virginia corporation on November 2, 2015. The Company was formed as a business combination shell company for the purpose of completing a business combination transaction between Grayson Bankshares, Inc. (“Grayson”) and Cardinal Bankshares Corporation (“Cardinal”) in which which Grayson and Cardinal merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Cardinal merger”), on July 1, 2016. Upon completion of the Cardinal merger, the Bank of Floyd (“Floyd”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cardinal, was merged with and into the Bank (formerly Grayson National Bank), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grayson. Effective March 13, 2017, the Bank changed its name to Skyline National Bank.
On July 1, 2018, the Company acquired Great State Bank (“Great State”), based in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, through the merger of Great State with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving bank.
On April 16, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Johnson County Bank (“JCB”), based in Mountain City, Tennessee, in an all-cash transaction valued at $
For purposes of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, all information contained herein as of and for periods prior to September 1, 2024 reflects the operations of the Company prior to the JCB merger. Unless this report otherwise indicates or the context otherwise requires, all references to the “Company” as of and for periods subsequent to September 1, 2024 refer to the combined company and its subsidiary as a combined entity after the merger, and all references to the “Company” as of and for periods prior to September 1, 2024 are references to the Company and its subsidiary as a combined entity prior to the merger.
The Bank was organized under the laws of the United States in 1900 and now serves the Virginia counties of Grayson, Floyd, Carroll, Wythe, Pulaski, Montgomery, Roanoke, Patrick and Washington, the North Carolina counties of Alleghany, Ashe, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Cleveland, Davie, Iredell, Watauga, Wilkes, and Yadkin, and the Tennessee county of Johnson, and the surrounding areas, through
full-service banking offices and loan production offices. As a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured national banking association, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC. The Company is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”).
The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the information furnished in the interim consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for such interim periods. Management believes that all interim period adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto as of December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The results of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances for credit and foreclosed real estate losses, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.
Substantially all of the Bank’s loan portfolio consists of loans in its market area. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of foreclosed real estate are susceptible to changes in local market conditions. The regional economy is diverse, but influenced to an extent by the manufacturing and agricultural segments.
While management uses available information to recognize loan and foreclosed real estate losses, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as a part of their routine examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowances for credit and foreclosed real estate losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowances for credit and foreclosed real estate losses may change materially in the near term.
The Company seeks strategies that minimize the tax effect of implementing their business strategies. As such, judgments are made regarding the ultimate consequence of long-term tax planning strategies, including the likelihood of future recognition of deferred tax benefits. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by both Federal and State authorities. Such examinations may result in the assessment of additional taxes, interest and penalties. As a result, the ultimate outcome, and the corresponding financial statement impact, can be difficult to predict with accuracy.
Accounting for pension benefits, costs and related liabilities are developed using actuarial valuations. These valuations include key assumptions determined by management, including the discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Material changes in pension costs may occur in the future due to changes in these assumptions.
Segment Reporting
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvement to Reportable Segment Disclosures” on January 1, 2024. The Company has determined that its banking subsidiary meets the aggregation criteria of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting, as its current operating model is structured whereby its banking subsidiary serves a similar base of retail and commercial clients utilizing a company-wide offering of similar products and services managed through similar processes and platforms that are collectively reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).
The CODM regularly assesses performance of the aggregated
operating and reporting segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income calculated on the same basis as is net income reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The CODM is also regularly provided with expense information at a level consistent with that disclosed in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income.

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
Critical Accounting Policies
Management believes the policies with respect to the methodology for the determination of the allowance for credit losses, and asset impairment judgments, such as the recoverability of intangible assets and credit losses on investment securities, involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could cause reported results to differ materially. These critical policies and their application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
Reclassification
No reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to place them on a comparable basis with the current presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following accounting standards may affect the future financial reporting by the Company:
In December 2023, the FASB amended the Income Taxes topic in the Accounting Standards Codification to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued amendments to the Codification that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company will apply the amendments prospectively to all new transactions recognized on or after the date that the Company first applies the amendments. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”) which amended the Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income topic in the Accounting Standards Codification to require public companies to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the notes to financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will apply the amendments prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.
In January 2025, the FASB amended the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.
In March 2025, the FASB amended an SEC paragraph in the Accounting Standards Codification pursuant to the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 122. The amendment was effective upon issuance. The Company does not expect this amendment to have a material effect on its financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2. Business Combinations
On September 1, 2024, the Company completed its merger with JCB as discussed above in Note 1. The merger was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company is considered the acquiring entity in this business combination for accounting purposes. Under the terms of the merger agreement, JCB was acquired by the Company in an all-cash transaction valued at $

Management made significant estimates and exercised significant judgement in accounting for the acquisition of JCB. The following is a brief description of the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair values of major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Investment Securities Available for Sale
The estimated fair value of the acquired portfolio of debt securities was based on quoted market prices. All of the acquired portfolio was sold upon completion of the acquisition.

Note 2. Business Combinations, continued
Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses
The fair valuation process identified loans with credit risk indicators that qualified for “purchase credit deteriorated” (“PCD”) status. PCD and non-PCD loans were then evaluated for credit risk and other fair value indicators. Consistent with GAAP, JCB’s related allowance for credit losses on loans was not recorded. Upon the acquisition of JCB, the PCD loans received an initial allowance for credit losses of $
Credit risk was quantified using a probability of default (“PD”)/loss given default (“LGD”) methodology from a market participant perspective and applied to each loan’s outstanding principal balance. PD rates were applied based on FDIC call report code and risk rating category. LGD rates were applied based on FDIC call report code. Other fair value indicators were quantified using a discounted cash flow methodology, utilizing a built-up discount rate that contemplates current index rates adjusted for market assumed premiums. Cash flows were generated based upon the loans’ underlying characteristics and estimated prepayment speeds.
The following table provides information on PCD and non-PCD loans as of the Acquisition Date:

Property and Equipment
The fair value of premises acquired was based on recent third-party appraisals. Acquired equipment was based on the remaining net book value of JCB, which approximated fair value.
Intangible Assets
Core deposit relationships provide a stable source of funds for lending and contribute to profitability. The core deposit intangible was valued using an income approach focused on cost savings, which recognizes the cost savings represented by the expense of maintaining the core deposit base versus the cost of an alternative funding source. The valuation incorporates assumptions related to account retention, discount rates, deposit interest rates, deposit maintenance costs and alternative funding rates.
Deferred Tax Asset
Application of the fair value measurements resulted in an increase to the deferred tax asset. The deferred tax assets were calculated using a blended tax rate of
Other Assets
The fair value adjustment of other assets was based on the Company’s evaluation of acquired other assets.

Note 2. Business Combinations, continued
Deposits
Deposits were valued using methods appropriate to their characteristics. The fair value of noninterest bearing demand deposits, interest bearing demand deposits, money market and savings deposit accounts were assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. Time deposits were valued at the present value of the expected contractual payments discounted at market rates for instruments with similar terms.
Borrowings
The estimated fair value of borrowings was determined by obtaining payoff quotes from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The borrowings were paid off upon completion of the acquisition.
Other Liabilities
The fair value adjustment of other liabilities was based on the Company’s evaluation of acquired other liabilities.
Supplemental Pro Forma Information (dollars in thousands except per share data)
The table below presents supplemental pro forma information as if the JCB acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented, which was January 1, 2024. Pro forma results include adjustments for amortization and accretion of fair value adjustments and do not include any projected cost savings or other anticipated benefits of the merger. Therefore, the pro forma financial information is not indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the transactions been effected on the assumed date.

Note 3. Investment Securities, continued
At March 31, 2025,
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 are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security and any excess is recorded as an allowance for credit loss, limited by 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 loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Changes in the allowance for credit loss are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance for credit loss 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. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was
allowance for credit losses related to the available for sale portfolio.

Credit Quality Indicators
Management closely monitors the quality of the loan portfolio and has established a loan review process designed to help grade the quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio. The Bank’s loan ratings coincide with the “Substandard,” “Doubtful” and “Loss” classifications used by federal regulators in their examination of financial institutions. Generally, an asset is considered “Substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured financial institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “Doubtful” have all the weaknesses inherent in assets classified “Substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable. Assets classified as "Loss” are those considered uncollectible, and of such little value that its continuance on the books is not warranted. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, the Bank had
loans graded “Doubtful” or “Loss” included in the balance of total loans outstanding.
Assets that do not currently expose the insured financial institutions to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but otherwise possess weaknesses are designated “Special Mention.” Management also maintains a listing of loans designated “Watch”. These loans represent borrowers with declining earnings, strained cash flow, increasing leverage and/or weakening market fundamentals that indicate above average risk. Loans that are currently performing and are of high quality are given a loan rating of “Pass”.
Loans are graded at origination and will be considered for potential downgrades as the borrower experiences financial difficulties. Loan officers meet periodically to discuss their past due credits and loan downgrades could occur at that time. Commercial loans of over $

Collateral Dependent Loans
Loans that do not share risk characteristics within their respective loan pools are individually evaluated. The Company has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The underlying collateral can vary based upon the type of loan. The following provides more detail about the types of collateral that secure collateral dependent loans:
● |
Construction and development loans include both commercial and consumer loans. Commercial loans are typically secured by first liens on raw land acquired for the construction of owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied commercial real estate. Consumer loans are typically secured by a first lien on raw land acquired for the construction of residential homes for which a binding sales contract exists. |
● |
Commercial real estate loans can be secured by either owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment commercial real estate. Typically, owner occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development, industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate. |
● |
Residential real estate loans are typically secured by first mortgages, and in some cases could be secured by a second mortgage. |
● |
Home equity lines of credit are generally secured by second mortgages on residential real estate property. |
● |
Consumer loans are generally secured by automobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Some consumer loans are unsecured and have no underlying collateral. |

Note 5. Allowance for Credit Losses, continued
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 lifetime 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. There are
commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
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 certain of 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 principal forgiveness or interest rate reduction, may be granted.

loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The following table shows the amortized cost basis of loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty for the three months ended March 31, 2024, disaggregated by class of loans and type of concession granted and describes the financial effect of the modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty:

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. There were
loans that had a payment default during the period and were modified in the 12 months before default to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

Note 5. Allowance for Credit Losses, continued
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 sheets. 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.
The following table presents the balance and activity in the allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024:

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
In the normal course of business, the Bank is involved in various legal proceedings. After consultation with legal counsel, management believes that any liability resulting from such proceedings will not be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
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. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for 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 for on-balance sheet instruments. A summary of the Bank’s commitments at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is as follows:
March 31, | December 31, | |||||||
(dollars in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | ||||||
Commitments to extend credit |
$ | $ | ||||||
Standby letters of credit |
||||||||
$ | $ |
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. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the party. 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. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies as specified above and is required in instances which the Bank deems necessary.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Substantially all of the Bank’s loans, commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Bank’s market area and such customers are generally depositors of the Bank. Investments in state and municipal securities involve governmental entities within and outside the Bank’s market area. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 4. The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Standby letters of credit are granted primarily to commercial borrowers. The Bank’s primary focus is toward small business and consumer transactions, and accordingly, it does not have a significant number of credits to any single borrower or group of related borrowers. The Bank has cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions which exceed federally insured limits.

Note 11. Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value of future cash flows or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. FASB ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.
The following presents the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. For short-term financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization. For non-marketable equity securities such as FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of the fair value as these securities can only be redeemed or sold at their par value and only to the respective issuing government supported institution or to another member institution. For financial liabilities such as noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products having no stated maturity.
For loans, the carrying amount is net of unearned income and the allowance for credit losses. In accordance with ASU No. 2016-01, the fair value of loans as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was measured using an exit price notion.

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans or foreclosed assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, the Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques may include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.
Investment Securities Available for Sale
Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.
Individually Evaluated Loans
Individually evaluated loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are evaluated for potential specific reserves and adjusted, if a shortfall exists, to fair value less costs to sell. Fair value is measured based on the value of the underlying collateral securing the loan if repayment is expected solely from the sale or operation of the collateral or present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the loan’s contractual interest rate if the loan is not determined to be collateral dependent. All loans individually evaluated are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Fair value for individually evaluated loans is determined using several methods. Generally, the fair value of real estate is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. 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. These routine adjustments are made to adjust the value of a specific property relative to comparable properties for variations in qualities such as location, size, and income production capacity relative to the subject property of the appraisal. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned is adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans, or former bank premises, to other real estate owned. Subsequently, other reals estate owned is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price the Company records the other real estate owned as nonrecurring Level 2. When the fair value of the collateral is based on either an external or internal appraisal and there is no observable market price, the Company records the other real estate owned as nonrecurring Level 3. As a result of the JCB merger, there was one property valued at $

On September 17, 2019 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation finalized a rule that introduces an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations (i.e., the community bank leverage ratio (“CBLR”)) framework. The CBLR framework is designed to reduce burden by removing the requirements for calculating and reporting risk-based capital ratios for qualifying community banking organizations that opt into the framework.
In order to qualify for the CBLR framework, a community banking organization must have a Tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than
The CBLR framework was available for banks to use in their March 31, 2025 Call Report. At this time the Company has elected not to opt into the CBLR framework for the Bank, but may opt into the CBLR framework in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies
For a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies, including its allowance for credit losses and asset impairment judgments, see Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements above, and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Executive Summary
● |
In connection with the acquisition of JCB, effective September 1, 2024, the Company acquired $154.1 million in assets at fair value, including $87.2 million in loans. The Company also assumed $133.8 million of liabilities at fair value, including $125.3 million of total deposits with a core deposit intangible asset recorded of $3.4 million, and goodwill of $4.6 million. |
● |
Net income was $3.6 million, or $0.64 per share, for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $2.1 million, or $0.37 per share, for the first quarter of 2024. |
● |
Net interest margin (“NIM”) was 4.15% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 4.10% in the fourth quarter of 2024, and 3.64% in the first quarter of 2024. |
● |
Total assets increased in the first quarter of 2025 by $33.9 million, or 2.78%, to $1.25 billion at March 31, 2025 from $1.22 billion at December 31, 2024. |
● |
Net loans were $992.2 million at March 31, 2025, an increase of $15.8 million, or 1.61%, when compared to $976.4 million at December 31, 2024. Core loan growth during the first quarter was at an annualized rate of 6.60%. |
● |
Total deposits were $1.11 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $22.2 million, or 2.03%, from $1.09 billion at December 31, 2024. |
● |
First quarter 2025 earnings represented an annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) of 1.17% and an annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) of 15.85%, compared to 0.79% and 9.94%, respectively, for the same period last year. |
Part I. Financial Information
Item 2. |
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Results of Operations
Results of Operations for the Three Months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Net interest income after provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2025 was $11.5 million, compared to $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting an increase in the provision for credit losses of $85 thousand in the quarterly comparison. Total interest income was $15.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of $3.5 million in comparison to the $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2024. Interest income on loans increased in the quarterly comparison by $3.6 million, primarily due to organic loan growth, and the addition of loan balances from the JCB acquisition. Management anticipates that this loan growth will continue to have a positive impact on both earning assets and loan yields. Interest expense on deposits increased by $653 thousand in the quarterly comparison, as a result of rate increases on deposit offerings, and the additional interest-bearing deposits from the JCB acquisition. Management anticipates that interest expense on deposits could increase in the near term as competitive pressures for deposits may result in continued increases in rates on deposit offerings, especially on time deposits. Interest on borrowings decreased by $11 thousand.
First quarter 2025 noninterest income was $1.8 million compared with $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. Included in noninterest income for the first quarter of 2025 was $60 thousand from life insurance contracts. Included in noninterest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $218 thousand from life insurance contracts and a net realized security loss of $141 thousand. The net security loss resulted from the recognition of unamortized premiums on a called bond. Excluding these items, noninterest income increased by $104 thousand in the quarter over quarter comparison, primarily as a result of an increase in service charges of $100 thousand.
Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2025 was $8.9 million compared with $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $887 thousand, or 11.12%. Salary and benefits increased by $179 thousand in the quarterly comparison due to personnel additions and routine salary adjustments, as well as increased benefit costs. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $68 thousand, and data processing increased by $199 thousand in the quarterly comparisons primarily due the JCB acquisition. FDIC assessments increased by $102 thousand due to increased deposit levels from the JCB acquisition and organic deposit growth. Core deposit intangible amortization increased by $132 thousand in the quarterly comparison as a result of the JCB acquisition.
Income tax expense increased by $449 thousand in the quarter-to-quarter comparison, primarily due to an increase in net income before taxes of $2.0 million in the quarterly comparison.
Financial Condition
Total assets increased in the first quarter of 2025 by $33.9 million, or 2.78%, to $1.25 billion at March 31, 2025, from $1.22 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase in total assets during the quarter can be primarily attributed to the loan growth of $15.9 million and deposit growth of $22.2 million during the quarter.
Total loans increased during the first quarter by $15.9 million, or 1.61%, to $1.0 billion at March 31, 2025 from $984.5 million at December 31, 2024. Core loan growth during the first quarter was at an annualized rate of 6.60%.
Asset quality has remained strong, with a ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans of 0.22% at March 31, 2025 compared to 0.26% at December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses remained comparable at approximately 0.82% of total loans as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Investment securities increased by $196 thousand during the first quarter to $118.5 million at March 31, 2025 from $118.3 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in the first quarter of 2025 was the result of a $2.6 million decrease in unrealized losses on investment securities and paydowns of $2.4 million.

Total deposits increased in the first quarter of 2025 by $22.2 million, or 2.03%, to $1.11 billion at March 31, 2025 from $1.09 billion at December 31, 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $12.5 million and interest-bearing deposits increased by $9.7 million during the quarter. Lower cost interest-bearing deposits increased by $8.3 million during the quarter, and time deposits increased by $1.4 million.
Stockholders’ equity increased by $4.2 million, or 4.80%, to $92.9 million at March 31, 2025, from $88.7 million at December 31, 2024. The change during the quarter was due to earnings of $3.6 million, less dividends paid of $1.4 million, and $2.0 million in other comprehensive income. Book value increased from $15.69 per share at December 31, 2024 to $16.44 per share at March 31, 2025.
Commercial Real Estate Loans
Commercial real estate loans can be secured by either owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment commercial real estate. Typically, owner occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development, industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate. As of March 31, 2025 approximately 40.73% of our commercial mortgage loans are owner occupied and 59.27% are non-owner occupied.
We generally originate adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans with maximum terms of up to 25 years. From time to time, we will also originate fixed-rate loans. We generally limit loan-to-value ratios to 80% of the appraised value or purchase price, whichever is lower. All of our commercial real estate loans are subject to our underwriting procedures and guidelines. Although our commercial real estate are made to a diversified pool of unrelated borrowers across numerous businesses, adverse developments in our market area could have an adverse impact on this portfolio of loans and the Company’s income and financial position.
The management team has extensive experience in underwriting commercial real estate loans and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened risk management procedures and strong underwriting criteria with respect to its commercial real estate portfolio. The Board of Directors has established internal maximum limits on commercial real estate loans to better manage and control the exposure to property classes during periods of changing economic conditions.
Our risk management process begins with a robust underwriting program. The underwriting and risk rating of all loans is completed by an underwriting team that is independent of the originating lender(s). The underwriting analysis of commercial real estate loans includes pre-origination sensitivity analysis utilizing portfolio stress testing methods to fully understand the potential exposure before we originate the credit. Once originated, each loan receives ongoing quarterly stress tests to evaluate the risk profile over the life of the credit.
We consider a number of factors in originating commercial real estate loans. We evaluate the qualifications and financial condition of the borrower (including credit history), profitability and expertise, as well as the value and condition of the mortgaged property securing the loan. When evaluating the qualifications of the borrower, we consider the financial resources of the borrower, the borrower’s experience in owning or managing similar property and the borrower’s payment history with us and other financial institutions. In evaluating the property securing the loan, among other factors, we consider the net operating income of the mortgaged property before debt service and depreciation, the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of net operating income to debt service) to ensure that, subject to certain exceptions, it is at least 1.25x for commercial real estate loans, and the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the mortgaged property. Our commercial real estate loans are appraised by outside independent and qualified appraisers that are duly approved in accordance with Bank policy. Per policy, personal guarantees are obtained from commercial real estate borrowers. Each borrower’s financial information on such loans is monitored on an ongoing basis by requiring periodic financial statement updates.

Nonperforming and Problem Assets
Certain credit risks are inherent in making loans, particularly commercial and consumer loans. Management prudently assesses these risks and attempts to manage them effectively. The Bank attempts to use shorter-term loans and, although a portion of the loans have been made based upon the value of collateral, the underwriting decision is generally based on the cash flow of the borrower as the source of repayment rather than the value of the collateral. The Bank also attempts to reduce repayment risk by adhering to internal credit policies and procedures. These policies and procedures include officer and customer limits, periodic loan documentation review and follow up on exceptions to credit policies.
The following table provides information about the allowance for credit losses, nonperforming assets and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Nonperforming and Problem Assets, continued
Total nonperforming loans were 0.22% and 0.26% of total outstanding loans as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Loans are placed in nonaccrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Loans are removed from nonaccrual status when they are deemed a loss and charged to the allowance, transferred to foreclosed assets, or returned to accrual status based upon performance consistent with the original terms of the loan or a subsequent restructuring thereof. Management’s ability to ultimately resolve these loans either with or without significant loss will be determined, to a great extent, by general economic and real estate market conditions.
Past due loans are often regarded as a precursor to further credit problems which would lead to future increases in nonaccrual loans or other real estate owned. As of March 31, 2025, loans past due 30-89 days and still accruing totaled $156 thousand compared to $416 thousand at December 31, 2024.
As a result of the JCB merger, there was one property valued at $140 thousand in other real estate owned at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. More information on nonperforming assets and modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty can be found in Note 5 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” found in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, we had loans with a current principal balance of $9.7 million rated “Watch” or “Special Mention”. The “Watch” classification is utilized by us when we have an initial concern about the financial health of a borrower that indicate above average risk. We then gather current financial information about the borrower and evaluate our current risk in the credit. After this review we will either move the loan to a higher risk rating category or move it back to its original risk rating. Loans may be left rated “Watch” for a longer period of time if, in management’s opinion, there are risks that cannot be fully evaluated without the passage of time, and we want to review it on a more regular basis. Assets that do not currently expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant a classification such as “Substandard” or “Doubtful” but otherwise possess weaknesses are designated “Special Mention”. Loans rated as “Watch” or “Special Mention” are not considered “potential problem loans” until they are determined by management to be classified as “Substandard”. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, potential problem loans classified as “Substandard” totaled $5.3 million. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank had no loans graded “Doubtful” included in the balance of total loans outstanding.
The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level adequate to absorb potential losses. Some of the factors which management considers in determining the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses are: past loss experience, an evaluation of the current loan portfolio, identified loan problems, the loan volume outstanding, the present and expected economic conditions in general, and in particular, how such conditions relate to the market area that the Bank serves. Bank regulators also periodically review the Bank’s loans and other assets to assess their quality. Loans deemed uncollectible are charged to the allowance. Provisions for credit losses and recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the allowance. The reserve for credit losses was approximately 0.82% of total loans at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The allocation of the allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is as follows:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Liquidity
Liquidity is the ability to convert assets to cash to fund depositors’ withdrawals or borrowers’ loans without significant loss. Unsecured federal fund lines available from correspondent banks totaled $73.0 million at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank had $26 thousand and $4.3 million outstanding under these lines of credit. In addition, the Bank has the ability to borrow up to approximately $269.9 million from the FHLB, subject to the pledging of collateral.
At March 31, 2025, the Bank had short-term FHLB advances of $34.5 million. At December 31, 2024, the Bank had short-term FHLB advances of $20.0 million.
The Bank uses cash and federal funds sold to meet its daily funding needs. If funding needs are met through holdings of excess cash and federal funds, then profits might be sacrificed as higher-yielding investments are foregone in the interest of liquidity. Therefore, management determines, based on such items as loan demand and deposit activity, an appropriate level of cash and federal funds and seeks to maintain that level.
The Bank’s investment security portfolio also serves as a source of liquidity. The primary goals of the investment portfolio are liquidity management and maturity gap management. As investment securities mature, the proceeds are reinvested in federal funds sold if the federal funds level needs to be increased; otherwise, the proceeds are reinvested in similar investment securities. The majority of investment security transactions consist of replacing securities that have been called or matured. The Bank keeps a portion of its investment portfolio in unpledged assets with average lives or repricing terms of less than 60 months. These investments are a preferred source of funds because their market value is not as sensitive to changes in interest rates as investments with longer durations.
On September 9, 2024, the Company entered into a $5.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit, with a maturity date of September 9, 2025. Interest on the line of credit is variable and is set at the prime rate. At March 31, 2025, $2.5 million was outstanding under this revolving line of credit at a rate of 7.50% and was classified as short-term debt. At December 31, 2024, $5.0 million was outstanding under this revolving line of credit at a rate of 7.50% and was classified as short-term debt.
As a result of the steps described above, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs. The liquidity ratio (the level of liquid assets divided by total deposits plus short-term liabilities) was 9.3% and 7.7% for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These ratios are considered to be adequate by management.
Capital Resources
A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its capital base. Federal regulations have classified and defined capital into the following components: (1) Tier 1 capital, which includes common shareholders’ equity and qualifying preferred equity, and (2) Tier 2 capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for credit losses, certain qualifying long-term debt and preferred stock which does not qualify as Tier 1 capital. Financial institutions are also subject to the BASEL III requirements, which includes as part of the capital ratios profile the Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based ratio. Minimum capital levels are regulated by risk-based capital adequacy guidelines, which require a financial institution to maintain capital as a percentage of its assets, and certain off-balance sheet items adjusted for predefined credit risk factors (risk-adjusted assets).
Regulatory guidelines relating to capital adequacy provide minimum risk-based ratios at the Bank level which assess capital adequacy while encompassing all credit risks, including those related to off-balance sheet activities. At March 31, 2025, the Bank exceeded minimum regulatory capital requirements and is considered to be “well capitalized.”
At March 31, 2025, the Company’s equity to asset ratio was 7.42% and the Bank’s capital was in excess of regulatory requirements as discussed above. The Company will continue to monitor economic conditions in determining future cash dividends and any requirements for additional capital each quarter. The Company declared and paid dividends of $1.4 million during the first three months of 2025.
