−Removed: information below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A-
−Removed: Risk Factors”
−Removed: in the Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
−Removed: on September 30, 2020.
−Removed: These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
−Removed: described are not the only risks that we face.
−Removed: Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently
−Removed: deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
−Removed: as presented below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors as discussed in our Form 10-K.
−Removed: recent global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has led to periods of significant volatility in financial, commodities and other
−Removed: markets and could harm our business and results of operations.
−Removed: December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.
−Removed: Since then, COVID-19
−Removed: infections have spread to additional countries including the United States.
−Removed: In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared
−Removed: COVID-19 to be a pandemic.
−Removed: Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the impact of
−Removed: the coronavirus pandemic on our business, and there is no guarantee that our efforts to address or mitigate the adverse impacts
−Removed: of the coronavirus will be effective.
−Removed: The impact to date has included periods of significant volatility in financial, commodities
−Removed: and other markets.
−Removed: This volatility, if it continues, could have an adverse impact on our customers and on our business, financial
−Removed: condition and results of operations as well as our growth strategy.
−Removed: business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of our customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions.
−Removed: spread of COVID-19 has caused and could continue to cause severe disruptions in the U.S.
−Removed: economy at large, and has resulted and
−Removed: may continue to result in disruptions to our customers’
−Removed: businesses, and a decrease in consumer confidence and business generally.
−Removed: In addition, recent actions by US federal, state and local governments to address the pandemic, including travel bans, stay-at-home
−Removed: orders and school, business and entertainment venue closures, may have a significant adverse effect on our customers and the markets
−Removed: in which we conduct our business.
−Removed: The extent of impacts resulting from the coronavirus pandemic and other events beyond our control
−Removed: will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge
−Removed: concerning the severity of the coronavirus pandemic and actions taken to contain the coronavirus or its impact, among others.
−Removed: to our customers could result in increased risk of delinquencies, defaults, and foreclosures and losses on our loans.
−Removed: The escalation
−Removed: of the pandemic may also negatively impact regional economic conditions for a period of time, resulting in declines in local loan
−Removed: demand, liquidity of loan guarantors, loan collateral (particularly in real estate), loan originations and deposit availability.
−Removed: If the global response to contain COVID-19 escalates or is unsuccessful, we could experience a material adverse effect on our
−Removed: business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
−Removed: spread of the COVID-19 outbreak and the governmental responses may disrupt banking and other financial activity in the areas in
−Removed: which we operate and could potentially create widespread business continuity issues for us.
−Removed: outbreak of COVID-19 and the US federal, state and local governmental responses may result in a disruption in the services we
−Removed: We rely on our third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record, and monitor transactions.
−Removed: If any of these
−Removed: vendors are unable to continue to provide us with these services or experience interruptions in their ability to provide us with
−Removed: these services, it could negatively impact our ability to serve our customers.
−Removed: Furthermore, the coronavirus pandemic could negatively
−Removed: impact the ability of our employees and customers to engage in banking and other financial transactions in the geographic areas
−Removed: in which we operate and could create widespread business continuity issues for us.
−Removed: We also could be adversely affected if key
−Removed: personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to infection, quarantine or other effects and restrictions
−Removed: of a COVID-19 outbreak in our market areas.
−Removed: Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is
−Removed: no assurance that such plans and safeguards will be effective.
−Removed: If we are unable to promptly recover from such business disruptions,
−Removed: our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.
−Removed: We also may incur additional costs to
−Removed: remedy damages caused by such disruptions, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: We have granted payment deferrals to
−Removed: borrowers that have experienced financial hardship due to COVID-19, and if those borrowers are unable to resume making payments
−Removed: we will experience an increase in non-accrual loans, which could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.
−Removed: In keeping with regulatory guidance to
−Removed: work with borrowers during this unprecedented situation and as outlined in the CARES Act, we offered payment deferral programs
−Removed: for our business and individual customers who are adversely affected by the pandemic.
−Removed: Depending on the demonstrated need of the
−Removed: client, we deferred either the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment for three months.
−Removed: Through December
−Removed: 31, 2020, we had granted accommodations with respect to loans with a total value of approximately $18.4 million, which represented
−Removed: 6.2% of gross portfolio loans, and as of December 31, 2020, $1.2 million loans remained subject to a payment accommodation, which
−Removed: represented 0.4% of gross portfolio loans.
−Removed: Upon the expiration of the deferral period, borrowers are required to resume making
−Removed: previously scheduled loan payments.
−Removed: While interest and fees will still accrue to income, should eventual credit losses on these
−Removed: deferred payments emerge or if a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest income and fees accrued would need to be reversed.
−Removed: While management continues to consider the potential impact of COVID-19 on asset quality, to date, no adjustment to the allowance
−Removed: for credit losses has been made to address the potential impact of COVID-19 on our loan portfolio.
−Removed: An increase in non-performing
−Removed: loans and charge-offs would cause us to increase our allowance for credit losses.
−Removed: Any increase in the allowance for loan losses,
−Removed: or expenses incurred to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, may have a material adverse effect on
−Removed: the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: Customary means to collect non-performing
−Removed: assets may be prohibited or impractical during the COVID-19 pandemic, and there is a risk that collateral securing a non-performing
−Removed: asset may deteriorate if we choose not to, or are unable to, foreclose on collateral on a timely basis.
−Removed: Due to temporary closure of courts and
−Removed: other government actions, there have been some slight delays in the ability to take certain actions with respect to delinquent
−Removed: borrowers that we would otherwise take in the ordinary course, such as customary collection and foreclosure procedures.
−Removed: there has been no material impact on the Banks’
−Removed: ability to collect, but if such delays recur and if the real estate market
−Removed: deteriorates, such delays may delay timely collection of loans.
−Removed: We may experience losses, additional
−Removed: expense and reputational harm arising out of our origination of PPP loans.
−Removed: We originated $1.5 million of PPP loans
−Removed: to 45 borrowers.
−Removed: We may incur losses on some of our PPP loans if the loans are not forgiven, the borrowers default and the SBA
−Removed: does not honor its guarantee due to an error made by us in making the loan, the ineligibility of the borrower or otherwise.
−Removed: addition, we may experience reputational harm arising out of our origination of PPP loans as a result of reports of borrower fraud
−Removed: and government administration of the loan forgiveness process.
+Added: There have been no material changes in the risk
+Added: factors disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A- Risk Factors”
+Added: of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
+Added: June 30, 2020, as updated by the disclosure in Part II, Item 1A-Risk Factors of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
+Added: December 31, 2021, which risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
+Added: The risks described
+Added: therein are not the only risks that we face.
+Added: Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to
+Added: be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
