NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CB Financial Services, Inc. (“CB Financial”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Community Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Exchange Underwriters, Inc. (“Exchange Underwriters” or "EU"). CB Financial, the Bank and Exchange Underwriters are collectively referred to as the “Company”. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with general practice within the banking industry. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading in any material respect. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and income and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to determination of the allowance for credit losses on loans, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, impairment evaluations of securities, goodwill and intangible assets impairment, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations at the dates and for the periods presented. All these adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, and they are the only adjustments included in the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Nature of Operations
The Company derives substantially all its income from banking and bank-related services which include interest income on commercial, commercial mortgage, residential real estate and consumer loan financing, as well as interest and dividend income on securities, insurance commissions, and fees generated from deposit services to its customers. The Company provides banking services through its subsidiary, Community Bank, a Pennsylvania-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania. The Bank is a community-oriented institution offering residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, and consumer loans as well as a variety of deposit products for individuals and businesses in its market area. The Bank operates nine offices in Greene, Allegheny, Washington, Fayette and Westmoreland Counties in southwestern Pennsylvania, and three offices in Marshall and Ohio Counties in West Virginia.
On December 1, 2023, the Company announced that the Bank and EU entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with World Insurance Associates, LLC ("World") pursuant to which EU sold substantially all of its assets to World for a purchase price of $ 30.5 million cash plus possible additional earn-out payments. The sale of assets was completed December 8, 2023, and resulted in a pre-tax gain of $ 24.6 million. This transaction did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations reporting. During 2024, the Company recognized an additional gain of $ 138,000 following the final settlement of all liabilities and an earn-out payment of $ 708,000 .
Operating Segments
An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities which generate revenue and incur expense, and the operating results of which are reviewed by management. The Company has evaluated the provisions of ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting , and determined that at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had one reportable segment, community banking services.
Critical Accounting Policies; Use of Critical Accounting Estimates
The disclosures below supplement the accounting policies disclosed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC.
Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL)
The ACL represents the estimated amount considered necessary to cover lifetime expected credit losses inherent in financial assets at the balance sheet date. The measurement of expected credit losses is applicable to loans receivable and securities measured at amortized cost. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures such as loan commitments and unused lines of credit. The allowance is established through a provision for credit losses that is charged against income. The methodology for
7
Table of Contents
determining the allowance for credit losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management because of the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions used, and the potential for changes in the forecasted economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded ACL. The ACL is reported separately as a contra-asset account on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The expected credit loss for unfunded loan commitments is reported on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition in other liabilities while the provision for credit losses related to unfunded commitments is reported in provision for credit losses - unfunded commitments in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
ACL on Loans Receivable
The ACL on loans is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the loan to present the net amount expected to be collected. Expected losses are evaluated and calculated on a collective, or pooled, basis for those loans which share similar risk characteristics. At each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether loans within a pool continue to exhibit similar risk characteristics. If the risk characteristics of a loan change, such that they are no longer similar to other loans in the pool, the Company will evaluate the loan with a different pool of loans that share similar risk characteristics. If the loan does not share risk characteristics with other loans, the Company will evaluate the loan on an individual basis. The Company evaluates the pooling methodology at least annually. Loans are charged off against the ACL when the Company believes the balances to be uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off or expected to be charged off.
The Company has chosen to segment its portfolio consistent with the manner in which it manages credit risk. Such segments include residential mortgage, commercial real estate mortgages, construction, commercial business, consumer and other. For most segments, the Company calculates estimated credit losses using a probability of default and loss given default methodology, the results of which are applied to the aggregated discounted cash flow of each individual loan within the segment. The point in time probability of default and loss given default are then conditioned by macroeconomic scenarios to incorporate reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount.
The Company estimates the ACL on loans via a quantitative analysis which considers relevant available information from internal and external sources related to past events and current conditions, as well as the incorporation of reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company evaluates a variety of factors including third party economic forecasts, industry trends and other available published economic information in arriving at its forecasts. After the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company reverts, on a straight-line basis, to average historical losses. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a restructuring will be executed with an individual borrower or the renewal option is included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.
Also included in the ACL on loans are qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected but, in the Company’s assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative analysis or the forecasts described above. Factors that the Company considers include changes in lending policies and procedures, business conditions, the nature and size of the portfolio, portfolio concentrations, the volume and severity of past due loans and non-accrual loans, and the effect of external factors such as competition, legal and regulatory requirements, among others. Furthermore, the Company considers the inherent uncertainty in quantitative models that are built upon historical data.
Individually Evaluated Loans
On a case-by-case basis, the Company may conclude that a loan should be evaluated on an individual basis based on its disparate risk characteristics. When the Company determines that a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other loans in the portfolio, the allowance will be determined on an individual basis using the present value of expected cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral as of the reporting date, less estimated selling costs, as applicable. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan, the Company will charge off the difference between the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell at the reporting date, and the amortized cost basis of the loan.
ACL on Off-Balance Sheet Unfunded Commitments
The Company is required to include unfunded commitments that are expected to be funded in the future within the allowance calculation, other than those that are unconditionally cancellable. To arrive at that reserve, the reserve percentage for each applicable segment is applied to the unused portion of the expected commitment balance and is multiplied by the expected funding rate. To determine the expected funding rate, the Company uses a historical utilization rate for each segment. As noted above, the ACL on unfunded loan commitments is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and the related credit expense is recorded in provision for credit losses - unfunded commitments in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Table of Contents
ACL on Available-for-Sale Securities
For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For securities available-for-sale that do not meet the above criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating by a rating agency, and adverse conditions related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an ACL is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The Company elected the practical expedient of zero loss estimates for 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 agencies and have a long history of no credit losses.
Changes in the ACL are recorded as provision for, or reversal of, credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
Accrued Interest Receivable
The Company made an accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of loans and available-for-sale securities. Accrued interest receivable on loans is reported as a component of accrued interest receivable and other assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition, totaled $ 4.0 million at March 31, 2025 and $ 3.9 million at December 31, 2024 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities, also a component of accrued interest receivable and other assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition, totaled $ 1.5 million at March 31, 2025 and $ 1.7 million at December 31, 2024 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
Recent Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . This ASU requires that public entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The ASU requires all entities to disclose on an annual basis (1) the amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and (2) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid. The ASU also requires that all entities disclose (1) income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic or foreign and (2) income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign. This ASU is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE); this ASU was then superseded by ASU 2025-01, Clarifying the Effective Date , to clarify the effective date for interim reporting. Collectively, these ASU's require that public entities on an annual and interim basis disclose specific natural expenses contained within each relevant income statement expense caption. These specified natural expenses are: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation, depletion and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas- producing activities (DD&A). This ASU is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations.

Note 2. Earnings Pe r Share
There are no convertible securities which would affect the numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net income as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income is used as the numerator.
The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted-average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation:

The dilutive effect on weighted average diluted common shares outstanding is the result of outstanding stock options and nonvested restricted stock. The following table presents for the periods indicated (a) options to purchase shares of common stock that were outstanding but not included in the computation of earnings per share because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares for the period, and (b) shares of restricted stock awards that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the hypothetical repurchase of shares under the treasury stock method exceeded the weighted average nonvested restricted awards, therefore the effects would be anti-dilutive.

For debt securities, the Company does not believe that any individual unrealized loss as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024, represents a credit related impairment. The Company performs a review of the entire securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to identify securities that may indicate a credit related impairment. The unrealized losses on securities at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 relate principally to changes in market interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of the specific securities. The Company does not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost or maturity of the security.
Total securities available to be pledged have a fair value of $ 239.8 million at March 31, 2025 and $ 251.3 million at December 31, 2024 of which securities with a fair value of $ 163.1 million and $ 176.2 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, were pledged to secure uninsured public deposits, borrowings or for other purposes as required or permitted by law.
The scheduled maturities of securities available-for-sale are summarized as follows. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay debt obligations with or without prepayment penalties. Mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and collateralized loan obligations are classified in the table below based on their contractual maturity date; however, regular principal payments and prepayments of principal are received on a monthly basis.

Note 4. Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company’s loan portfolio is segmented to enable management to monitor risk and performance. Real estate loans are further segregated into three classes. Residential mortgages include those secured by residential properties and include home equity loans, while commercial mortgages consist of loans to commercial borrowers secured by commercial real estate. Construction loans typically consist of loans to build commercial buildings and acquire and develop residential real estate. The commercial and industrial segment consists of loans to finance the activities of commercial customers. The consumer segment consists primarily of indirect auto loans as well as personal installment loans and personal or overdraft lines of credit.
Residential mortgage loans are typically longer-term loans and, therefore, generally present greater interest rate risk than the consumer and commercial loans. Under certain economic conditions, housing values may decline, which may increase the risk that the collateral values are not sufficient.
Commercial real estate loans generally present a higher level of credit risk than loans secured by residences. This greater risk is due to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effect of general economic conditions on income-producing properties, and the increased difficulty in evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of commercial real estate loans is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the

related real estate project. If the cash flow from the project is reduced (for example, if leases are not obtained or renewed, a bankruptcy court modifies a lease term, or a major tenant is unable to fulfill its lease obligations), the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired.
Construction loans are originated to individuals to finance the construction of residential dwellings and are also originated for the construction of commercial properties, including hotels, apartment buildings, housing developments, and owner-occupied properties used for businesses. Construction loans generally provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase, which is usually 12 to 18 months. At the end of the construction phase, the loan generally converts to a permanent residential or commercial mortgage loan. Construction loan risks include overfunding in comparison to the plans, untimely completion of work, and leasing and stabilization after project completion.
Commercial and industrial loans are generally secured by inventories, accounts receivable, and other business assets, which present collateral risk.
Consumer loans generally have higher interest rates and shorter terms than residential mortgage loans; however, they have additional credit risk due to the type of collateral securing the loan.

The Company uses a nine-point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first five categories are not considered criticized and are aggregated as “pass” rated. The criticized rating categories used by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The special mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are below average quality, resulting in an undue credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a substandard classification. Loans in the substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.
The following tables present the Company’s loans by year of origination, loan segmentation and risk indicator summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful within the internal risk rating system as of the dates indicated. There were no loans in the criticized category of Loss.

All modifications and refinancing, including those with borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty are subject to the modification guidance in ASC 310-20. Loan modifications could meet the definition of a new loan if certain terms of the loan are modified to the benefit of the lender and the modification to the terms of the loan are more than minor. Both of these criteria have to be met to define the modification as a new loan. If a loan modification meets the criteria of new loan, then the new loan should include the remaining net investment in the original loan, additional funds advanced, fees received, and direct loan origination costs with the refinancing or restructuring. Additionally, the effective interest rate should be recalculated based on the amortized cost basis of the new loan and a reassessment of contractual cash flow. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, there were no new loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.
The recorded investment of residential real estate loans for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process according to applicable requirements of the local jurisdiction was $ 720 ,000 and $ 1.2 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. For loans that are individually evaluated and collateral dependent, financial loans where the Company has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the ACL - Loans is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the asset as of the measurement date. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were $ 7.9 million of loans that required specific valuation allowances of $ 570 ,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no loans that required a credit loss to be individually assigned.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments is recognized as a liability (accrued interest payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition), with adjustments to the reserve recognized in provision for credit losses - unfunded commitments on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company’s activity in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments for the periods indicated was as follows:

Note 5. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
The Company has four risk participation agreements with financial institution counterparties for interest rate swaps related to loans in which it is a participant. The risk participation agreements provide credit protection to the financial institution should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contract with the financial institution.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
In October 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract that is designated as a fair value hedge to mitigate the risk of interest rate increases and the subsequent impact on the associated fixed rate mortgages. This contract matures on October 17, 2026, has a notional amount of $ 75.0 million and is benchmarked to SOFR. The Company expects the hedge to remain effective during the remaining term of the swap.
The following table depicts the credit value and fair value adjustments recorded related to the notional amount of derivatives outstanding and risk participation agreements with other financial institutions. These adjustments are included in Accrued Interest Payable and Other Liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

Note 6. Fair Value Disclosure
ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” defines fair value and provides the framework for measuring fair value and required disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability at the transaction date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation methods to determine fair value.
The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 – Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and are used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2 – Fair value is based on significant inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets, quoted market prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, and other observable inputs.
Level 3 – Fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs. Examples of valuation methodologies that would result in Level 3 classification include option pricing models, discounted cash flows, and other similar techniques.
This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The majority of the Company’s securities are included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for Level 2 securities were primarily determined by a third-party pricing service using both quoted prices for similar assets, when available, and model-based valuation techniques that derive fair value based on market-corroborated data, such as instruments with similar prepayment speeds and default interest rates. The standard inputs that are normally used include benchmark yields of like securities, reportable trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications.

The Company uses derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps and risk participation agreements, and the fair value of such instruments are calculated using accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative, considering the contractual terms of each derivative, and uses observable market-based inputs, such as interest rate curves and implied volatilities. Credit valuation adjustments are incorporated to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk and the respective counterparties' nonperformance risk in calculating fair value measurements. These instruments are classified as Level 2.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or year ended December 31, 2024.
The following table presents the financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and reported on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of the dates indicated, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

(1) Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which may include various Level 3 inputs, which are not identifiable.
(2) Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of appraisal adjustments and liquidation expense are presented as a percent of the appraisal.
Individually evaluated loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2025, the fair value of these loans consisted of loan balances of $ 7.9 million less specific valuation allowances of $ 570 ,000. At December 31, 2024, the fair value of these loans consisted of loan balances of $ 5.6 million less specific valuation allowances of $ 398 ,000.
The fair value of mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") is determined by calculating the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, considering expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs and other economic factors, which are determined based on current market conditions. The expected rate of mortgage loan prepayments is the most significant factor driving the value of MSRs. MSRs are considered impaired if the carrying value exceeds fair value. Since the valuation model includes significant unobservable inputs as listed above, MSRs are classified as Level 3. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any MSRs that would be required to be remeasured.
Other real estate owned ("OREO") properties are evaluated at the time of acquisition and recorded at fair value, less estimated selling costs. After acquisition, OREO is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs. The fair value of an OREO property is determined from a qualified independent appraisal and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any OREO that would be required to be remeasured.
Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of an ownership in an entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from/to a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial instruments should be based upon management’s judgment regarding current economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated losses and other factors, as determined through various option pricing formulas or simulation modeling. As many of these assumptions result from judgments made by management based upon estimates which are inherently uncertain, the resulting estimated fair values may not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale of a particular financial instrument. In addition, changes in the assumptions on which the estimated fair values are based may have significant impact on the resulting estimated fair values.
As certain assets such as deferred tax assets and premises and equipment are not considered financial instruments, the estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full value of the Company.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business primarily to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby and performance letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Company’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 and performance letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
The Company maintains an ACL on unfunded commitments to provide for the risk of loss inherent in these arrangements. The Company is required to include unfunded commitments that are expected to be funded in the future within the allowance calculation, other than those that are unconditionally cancellable. To arrive at that reserve, the reserve percentage for each applicable segment is applied to the unused portion of the expected commitment balance and is multiplied by the expected funding rate. To determine the expected funding rate, the Company uses a historical utilization rate for each segment. The ACL on unfunded loan commitments is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and the related expense is recorded in provision for credit losses - unfunded commitments in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

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 by the customer. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Performance letters of credit represent conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These instruments are issued primarily to support bid or performance-related contracts. The coverage period for these instruments is typically a one-year period with an annual renewal option subject to prior approval by management. Fees earned from the issuance of these letters are recognized upon expiration of the letter. For secured letters of credit, the collateral is typically Company deposit instruments or customer business assets. The Company recorded no liability associated with standby letters of credit as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Note 8. Leases
The Company evaluates all contracts at commencement to determine if a lease is present. In accordance with ASC Topic 842, leases are defined as either operating or finance leases. The Company’s lease contracts are all classified as operating leases and create operating right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The leases are primarily ROU assets of land and building for branch and loan production locations. ROU assets are reported in Accrued Interest Receivable and Other Assets and the related lease liabilities in Accrued Interest Payable and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
The following tables present the lease expense, ROU assets, weighted average term, discount rate and maturity analysis of lease liabilities for operating leases for the periods and dates indicated.

As a result, the Bank recorded a pre-tax net gain of $ 274,000 . Concurrently, the Bank entered into a lease agreement with the purchaser under which the Bank will lease the property for an initial term of 20 years with specified renewal options. The lease agreement includes a 2.0 % annual rent escalation during the initial term and renewal terms, if exercised. The Bank recorded an operating lease ROU asset and corresponding lease liability of $ 1.0 million.
Note 9. Segment and Related Information
Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer functions as its CODM. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had one reportable segment, community banking services, upon which the CODM makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Individual bank branches offer a group of similar services, including commercial, real estate and consumer loans, time deposits, checking and savings accounts all with similar operating and economic characteristics. While the CODM monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis.
The CODM uses net interest income, noninterest income and net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the Company, pursue acquisitions or pay out dividends. Net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results. These metrics and the Company's significant expense categories are disclosed on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 11. Variable Interest Entities
The Company has an investment interest in the following non-consolidated entity that meets the definition of a variable interest entity ("VIE").

Table of Contents
Low Income Housing Tax Credit Investments
The Company makes equity investments in an entity that sponsors affordable housing and other community development projects that qualify for the Low Income Housing Tax Credit ("LIHTC") program pursuant to Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purpose of this investment is not only to assist the Bank in meeting its responsibilities under the Community Reinvestment Act, but also to provide an investment return, primarily through the realization of tax benefits. The LIHTC partnership is managed by unrelated general partners that have the power to direct the activities which most significantly affect the performance of the partnership. The Company is therefore not the primary beneficiary of the LIHTC partnership and accordingly, does not consolidate this VIE.
The Company's funding requirements are limited to its invested capital and any additional unfunded commitments for future equity contributions. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement is limited to the carrying amounts of the investments, including the unfunded commitments. The investment in the LIHTC partnership is included in Accrued Interest Receivable and Other Assets and unfunded commitments are included in Accrued Interest Payable and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company currently expects to fund these commitments by the end of 2035.
The following table presents the balances of the Company's LIHTC investments and related unfunded commitments:

Less: Amortization ( 94 ) ( 55 )
Net Low Income Housing Tax Credit Investments $ 5,906 $ 5,945
Unfunded Commitments $ 4,995 $ 4,995
The Company accounts for qualifying LIHTC investments under the proportional amortization method. Under this method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance as a component of income tax expense.
