+Added: Our total allowance at June 30, 2020 is considered by Management to be appropriate to address the credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at that date.
However, our determination of the appropriate allowance level is based upon a number of assumptions we make about future events, which we believe are reasonable, but which may or may not prove valid.
Thus, there can be no assurance that our charge-offs in future periods will not exceed our allowance for loan losses or that we will not need to make additional increases in our allowance for loan losses.
