GENERAL



The following discussion sets forth management's discussion and analysis of our
results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31,
2021, and our financial position as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
respectively. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements, related notes, the selected financial data and the
statistical information presented elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K
for a more complete understanding of the following discussion and analysis.
Unless otherwise noted, years refer to the Company's fiscal years ended
December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY



The following is a brief summary of some of the significant factors that
affected our operating results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and
2021. In 2022, net interest income was favorably impacted by the following:
(1)growth in the loan portfolio and related growth in loan interest income; (2)
the positive impact of higher interest rates on loan yields on new, renewing and
repricing loans, which was more than offset by a reduction in the accretion of
the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program ("SBA PPP") loan
fees of $5.9 million; and (3) growth in the investment securities portfolio.
These positive additions were offset by higher interest expense on subordinated
debt due to (a) the issuance of $35 million with a coupon of 4.75%, partially
offset by the call and redemption of $15 million of 6.75% subordinated debt
issued in 2017 and (b) the impact of higher interest rates on FHLB advances and
deposits. The Company recorded $1.5 million of provision for loan losses in
2022, largely due to loan growth and net charge-offs, partially offset by a
reduction in specific reserves. No provision for loan losses was recorded in
2021 largely due to qualitative factor decreases to reflect greater certainty
and improvement in current general economic conditions, offsetting the impact of
organic loan growth. In 2022's higher interest rate and tight housing supply
environment, the Company experienced fewer mortgage loans originated for sale,
which decreased gain on sale and income recorded in loan servicing income from
the capitalization of mortgage servicing rights. Non-interest expense increased
modestly in 2022, largely due to the cost of closing branches.

When comparing year-over-year results, changes in net interest income, provision
for loan losses, non-interest income and non-interest expense are primarily due
to the items discussed above. See the remainder of this section for a more
thorough discussion. Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts in this
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, other than share, per share and capital ratio amounts, are stated in
thousands.

We reported net income of $17.76 million for the twelve months ended December
31, 2022, compared to net income of $21.27 million for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2021. Diluted earnings per share were $1.69 for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2022, compared to $1.98 for the twelve months ended December
31, 2021. Return on average assets for the twelve months ended December 31,
2022, was 1.00%, compared to 1.23% for the twelve months ended December 31,
2021. The return on average equity was 10.70% for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2022, and 12.97% for the comparable period in 2021.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). In connection with the
preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and
estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported
amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We
base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current
trends, and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time
our consolidated financial statements are prepared. Some of these estimates are
more critical than others. Below is a discussion of our critical accounting
estimates.

Allowance for Loan Losses.



We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable and inherent losses
in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments
of the estimated probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio. In evaluating
the level of the allowance for loan losses, we consider the types of loans and
the amount of loans in our loan portfolio, historical loss experience, adverse
situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value
of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions and other relevant
factors determined by management. We follow all applicable regulatory guidance,
including the "Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease
Losses," issued by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council
(FFIEC). We believe that the Bank's Allowance for Loan Losses Policy conforms to
all applicable regulatory requirements. However, based on periodic examinations
by regulators, the amount of the allowance for loan losses recorded during a
particular period may be adjusted.

Our determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on (1) specific
allowances for specifically identified and evaluated impaired loans and their
corresponding estimated loss based on likelihood of default, payment history and
net realizable value of underlying collateral. Specific allocations for
collateral dependent loans are based on the fair value of the underlying
collateral relative to the unpaid principal balance of individually impaired
loans. For loans that are not collateral dependent, the specific allocation is
based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loan's original effective interest rate through the repayment period; and (2) a
general allowance on loans not specifically identified in (1) above, based on
historical loss ratios, which are adjusted for qualitative and general economic
factors. We continue to refine our allowance for loan losses methodology, with
an increased emphasis on historical performance adjusted for applicable economic
and qualitative factors.

Assessing the allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective as it requires
making material estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows
expected to be received on impaired loans, any of which estimates may be
susceptible to significant change. In our opinion, the allowance, when taken as
a whole, reflects estimated probable loan losses in our loan portfolio

Loans acquired in connection with acquisitions are recorded at their
acquisition-date fair value with no carryover of related allowance for loan
losses. Any allowance for loan loss on these pools reflects only losses incurred
after the acquisition (meaning the present value of all cash flows expected at
acquisition that ultimately are not to be collected).

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.



We account for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic
350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other." The Company records the excess of the
cost of acquired entities over the fair value of identifiable tangible and
intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, as goodwill. The Company
amortizes acquired intangible assets with definite useful economic lives over
their useful economic lives utilizing the straight-line method. On a periodic
basis, management assesses whether events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amounts of the intangible assets may be impaired. The Company
does not amortize goodwill, but reviews goodwill for impairment at a reporting
unit level on an annual basis, or when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amounts may be impaired. A reporting unit is defined
as any distinct, separately identifiable component of the Company's one
operating segment for which complete, discrete financial information is
available and reviewed regularly by the segment's management. The Company has
one reporting unit as of December 31, 2022, which is related to its banking
activities. The impairment testing process is conducted by assigning net assets
and goodwill to the Company's reporting unit. An initial qualitative evaluation
is made to assess the likelihood of impairment and determine whether further
quantitative testing to calculate the fair value is necessary. When the
qualitative evaluation indicates that impairment is more likely than not,
quantitative testing is required whereby the fair value of the Company's
reporting unit is calculated and compared to the recorded book value, "step
one." If the calculated fair value of the Company's reporting unit exceeds its
carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired, and "step two" is not
considered necessary. If the carrying value of the company's reporting unit
exceeds its calculated fair value, the impairment test continues
                                       23
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





("step two") by comparing the carrying value of the Company's reporting unit's
goodwill to the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment charge is
recognized if the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of
goodwill.

In 2022, the Company performed quarterly reviews to determine if a triggering
event had occurred that would require impairment testing. These quarterly
reviews determined that no triggering event occurred during 2022. The Company
performed its required annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2022,
and determined that goodwill was not impaired.

Fair Value Measurements and Valuation Methodologies.



We apply various valuation methodologies to assets and liabilities which often
involve a significant degree of judgment, particularly when liquid markets do
not exist for the particular items being valued. Quoted market prices are
referred to when estimating fair values for certain assets, such as most
investment securities. However, for those items for which an observable liquid
market does not exist, management utilizes significant estimates and assumptions
to value such items. Examples of these items include loans, deposits,
borrowings, goodwill, core deposit intangible assets, other assets and
liabilities obtained or assumed in business combinations, and certain other
financial instruments. These valuations require the use of various assumptions,
including, among others, discount rates, rates of return on assets, repayment
rates, cash flows, default rates, and liquidation values. The use of different
assumptions could produce significantly different results, which could have
material positive or negative effects on the Company's results of operations,
financial condition, or disclosures of fair value information.

In addition to valuation, the Company must assess whether there are any declines
in value below the carrying value of assets that should be considered other than
temporary or otherwise require an adjustment in carrying value and recognition
of a loss in the consolidated statement of operations. Examples include but are
not limited to: loans, investment securities, goodwill, core deposit intangible
assets and deferred tax assets, among others. Specific assumptions, estimates
and judgments utilized by management are discussed in detail herein in
management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations and in notes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 13 and 14 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Income Taxes.

Amounts provided for income tax expenses are based on income reported for
financial statement purposes and do not necessarily represent amounts currently
payable under tax laws. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which arise
principally from temporary differences between the amounts reported in the
financial statements and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, are
included in the amounts provided for income taxes. In assessing the
realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the
generation of future taxable income and tax planning strategies which will
create taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences
become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax
liabilities, projected future taxable income, and if necessary, tax planning
strategies in making this assessment.

The assessment of tax assets and liabilities involves the use of estimates,
assumptions, interpretations, and judgments concerning certain accounting
pronouncements and application of specific provisions of Federal and state tax
codes. There can be no assurance that future events, such as court decisions or
positions of Federal and state taxing authorities, will not differ from
management's current assessment, the impact of which could be material to our
consolidated results of operations and reported earnings. We believe that the
deferred tax assets and liabilities are adequate and properly recorded in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2022,
management does not believe a valuation allowance related to the realizability
of its deferred tax assets is necessary.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS ANALYSIS

Twelve months ended December 31, 2022 vs. Twelve months ended December 31, 2021



Net Interest Income. Net interest income represents the difference between the
dollar amount of interest earned on interest bearing assets and the dollar
amount of interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. The interest income and
expense of financial institutions are significantly affected by general economic
conditions, competition, policies of regulatory authorities and other factors.

Interest rate spread and net interest margin are used to measure and explain
changes in net interest income. Interest rate spread is the difference between
the yield on interest earning assets and the rate paid for interest bearing
liabilities that fund those assets. Net interest margin is expressed as the
percentage of net interest income to average interest earning assets. Net
interest margin exceeds interest rate spread because non-interest-bearing
sources of funds ("net free funds"), principally demand deposits and
stockholders' equity, also support interest earning assets. The narrative below
discusses net interest income, interest rate spread, and net interest margin.

Net interest income was $56.4 million for 2022 compared to $53.7 million for
2021. The increase is largely due to the positive loan volume variance due to
growth in loans outstanding. Negative loan rate variances are due to a decrease
in SBA PPP accretion of $5.9 million, which was partially offset by the impact
of higher interest rates on newly originated, renewed and repricing loans. The
positive rate variance on investment securities was largely due to the repricing
of variable rate securities and the impact of new purchases above the portfolio
rate. This positive rate variance was partially offset by higher interest
expense on subordinated debt of $35 million issued in March 2022, with a coupon
rate of 4.75%. In August 2022, interest expense was partially reduced by the
call and redemption of $15 million of 6.75% subordinated debt issued in 2017. In
addition, the impact of higher interest rates on liability costs reduced net
interest income.

The net interest margin for 2022 was 3.39% compared to 3.34% for 2021. The
increase in the net interest margin was due to the following factors: (1) the
impact of higher interest rates on new, maturing, and repricing loans; (2) the
impact of higher interest rates on the variable rate investment portfolio; and
(3) a reduction in the balance of low yielding cash as a percentage of total
assets. These positive impacts were partially offset by: (1) a decrease in SBA
PPP loan accretion income of $5.9 million; (2) higher interest expense on
subordinated debt, due to the issuance of $35 million with a coupon rate of
4.75%, partially offset by the call and redemption of $15 million of 6.75%
subordinated debt issued in 2017; and (3) the impact of higher interest rates on
liability costs.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table presents the dollar amount of changes
in interest income and interest expense for the components of interest earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities that are presented in the preceding
table. For each category of interest earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to: 1) changes in
volume, which are changes in the average outstanding balances multiplied by the
prior period rate (i.e., holding the initial rate constant); and 2) changes in
rate, which are changes in average interest rates multiplied by the prior period
volume (i.e., holding the initial balance constant).

Provision for Loan Losses. We determine our provision for loan losses ("provision," or "PLL") to provide an adequate allowance for loan losses ("ALL") to reflect probable and inherent credit losses in our loan portfolio.



The provision for loan losses recorded in 2022 was $1.5 million compared to no
provision for 2021. In 2022, the provision allocated for originated loan growth
was approximately $1.3 million for 2022 and the provision related to
charge-offs, reduced by decreases in changes in specific reserves, was
approximately $0.2 million. The remaining provision in 2022 was related to
qualitative factor increases to reflect uncertainty in current general economic
conditions and a modest increase in unallocated ALL. In 2021, the impact of
growth in the originated loan portfolio and modest charge-offs were offset by a
reduction in Q-Factors related to economic qualitative factor decreases to
reflect reduced uncertainty in current general economic conditions and a modest
reduction in the unallocated reserve.

Management believes that the provisions for the years ended December 31, 2022,
and 2021, are both adequate in view of the condition of the Bank's loan
portfolio and the sufficiency of collateral supporting non-performing loans as
of the respective year-end dates. We are continually monitoring non-performing
loan relationships and will make provisions, as necessary, if the facts and
circumstances change. In addition, a decline in the quality of our loan
portfolio as a result of general economic conditions, factors affecting
particular borrowers or our market areas, or other factors could all affect the
adequacy of our ALL. If there are significant charge-offs against the ALL, or we
otherwise determine that the ALL is inadequate, we will need to record an
additional PLL in the future. See Note 1, "Nature of Business and Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies - Allowance for Loan Losses" of "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" to this Form 10-K, for
further analysis of the provision for loan losses.

  N/M means not meaningful

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $292 thousand due to an increase in customer spending activity.

Loan servicing income decreased largely due to decreased capitalized mortgage servicing rights as a result of lower mortgage loan origination sold volumes.

The decrease in gain on sale of loans in 2022 is due to fewer mortgage loan originations and lower related sale volumes and a decrease in SBA loans sold.



Net gains on investment securities decreased in 2022 due to no realized gains on
sale of AFS securities in 2022, compared to a $573 thousand net gain on sale in
2021. The sales in 2021 consisted of senior debt of large bank holding companies
and lower yielding trust preferred securities. Both helped fund loan growth and
decrease 100% risk weighted AFS securities. The net gains on investment
securities were also impacted by smaller increases in the market value of our
investment in Farmer Mac and Bankers' Bank stock and the recognition of $367
thousand of net unrealized gain on investments recorded at Net Asset Value
("NAV").

Other income decreased largely due to the cash receipt of $131 thousand in 2021
related to a private mortgage-backed security claim. This cash receipt
represents a supplement to the proceeds received in fiscal 2015 from the private
mortgage-backed security previously owned by the Bank and sold in 2011.

Compensation expense decreased in 2022 primarily due to lower salaries due to lower headcount and a decrease in incentives based on performance.

Professional fees increased slightly in 2022 largely due to a modest increase in utilization of third parties in completing one-time and ongoing projects.



Gains on repossessed assets increased largely due to the sale of a former branch
sold in 2022, partially offset by limited gains on sales of repossessed assets
due to foreclosure compared to 2021.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Bank invested $4.1 million in a New Markets
Tax Credit ("NMTC"). Based on current accounting guidance, the related
non-tax-deductible asset depletion will occur over a 5-year period in lockstep
with the recognition of the tax credit. The Emerging Issues Task Force of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued guidance that, if implemented in
its current proposal, would change the depletion expense from equal to the tax
credit until the asset is depleted, to being proportional with the NMTC
recognized, which is seven years.

Other non-interest expense increased in 2022 primarily due to branch closure
costs in 2022 of $1.0 million and $0.3 million of increased origination costs
and deposit product costs.

Income Taxes. Income tax provision was $5.8 million in 2022 compared to $7.7
million for 2021 primarily due to the impact of lower pre-tax income and the
impact of the new market tax credit purchased in 2022 discussed above. The 2022
effective tax rate was 24.7% compared to 26.6% in 2021. This difference is
primarily due to the impact of the NMTC.

Income tax expense recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations involves interpretation and application of certain accounting
pronouncements and federal and state tax codes and is, therefore, considered a
critical accounting policy. We undergo examination by various taxing
authorities. Such taxing authorities may require that changes in the amount of
tax expense or the amount of the valuation allowance be recognized when their
interpretations differ from those of management, based on their judgments about
information available to them at the time of their examinations.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Total assets increased $76.8 million to $1.82 billion at December 31, 2022, from
$1.74 billion at December 31, 2021. Strong originated loan growth was funded by
the utilization of excess asset liquidity, resulting in a decrease in cash and
cash equivalents, net deposit growth, and the utilization of FHLB advances.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $47.7
million at December 31, 2021, to $35.4 million at December 31, 2022. As noted
above, this decrease, along with deposit growth and FHLB advances, funded loan
portfolio growth.

Investment Securities. We manage our securities portfolio to provide liquidity,
in an effort to improve interest rate risk, and enhance income. Our investment
portfolio is comprised of securities available for sale ("AFS") and securities
held to maturity ("HTM").

Securities AFS (recorded at fair value), which represent the majority of our
investment portfolio, decreased to $166.0 million at December 31, 2022, compared
with $203.1 million at December 31, 2021. This decrease is due to the change in
unrealized losses of $24.6 million in 2022, along with principal repayments and
maturities. These reductions were partially offset primarily by purchases of
bank holding company issued capital instruments, which are classified as
corporate debt securities.

In 2021, the sale of trust preferred securities issued by bank holding companies
with an amortized cost of $17.4 million and $10.6 million of non-CDFI bank
holding company senior debt, reduced the portfolio of these securities to zero.
The weighted average coupon of these sales was 2.2%. The sale of these 100%
risk-weighted assets partially offset the impact of loan growth on risk-weighted
assets and increased the overall yield of interest-earning assets. In addition,
the bank sold $9.7 million of other AFS securities, largely U.S. agency
mortgage-backed securities. These 2021 sales resulted in net realized gains of
$573 thousand, which is included in net gains on investment securities in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations

Securities held to maturity increased to $96.4 million at December 31, 2022,
compared to $71.1 million at December 31, 2021. The increase was largely due to
the purchase of agency mortgage-backed securities, net of principal repayments.
The unrealized loss on the held to maturity portfolio increased by $17.6 million
during the year to $19.6 million at December 31, 2022.

The amortized cost and market values of our investment securities by asset categories as of the dates indicated below were as follows:

Unrealized losses reflected in the preceding tables have not been included in
results of operations because the unrealized loss was not deemed
other-than-temporary. Management has determined that more likely than not, the
Company neither intends to sell, nor will it be required to sell each debt
security before its anticipated recovery, and therefore recovery of cost will
occur.

Our loan portfolio is diversified by types of borrowers and industry groups
within the market areas that we serve. Significant loan concentrations are
considered to exist for a financial entity when the amounts of loans to multiple
borrowers engaged in similar activities cause them to be similarly impacted by
economic or other conditions. As illustrated above, at December 31, 2022, the
largest loan concentration we identified was commercial real estate loans which
comprised 52% of our total loan portfolio. Approximately 88% of our total gross
loans are secured by real estate.

We believe that the critical factors in the overall management of credit or loan
quality are sound loan underwriting and administration, systematic monitoring of
existing loans and commitments, effective loan review on an ongoing basis,
recording an adequate allowance to provide for incurred loan losses, and
reasonable non-accrual and charge-off policies.

Risk Management and the Allowance for Loan Losses. The loan portfolio is our
primary asset subject to credit risk. To address this credit risk, we maintain
an ALL for probable and inherent credit losses through periodic charges to our
earnings. These charges are shown in our accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations as Provision for Loan Losses. See "Statement of Operations Analysis -
Provision for Loan Losses" above. We attempt to control, monitor, and minimize
credit risk through the use of prudent lending standards, a thorough review of
potential borrowers prior to lending and ongoing and timely review of payment
performance. Asset quality administration, including early identification of
loans performing in a substandard manner, as well as timely and active
resolution of problems, further enhances management of credit risk and
minimization of loan losses. Any losses that occur and that are charged off
against the ALL are periodically reviewed with specific efforts focused on
achieving maximum recovery of both principal and interest on the affected loan.

At least quarterly, we review the adequacy of the ALL. Based on an estimate
computed pursuant to the requirements of ASC 450-10, "Accounting for
Contingencies" and ASC 310-10, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan", the analysis of the ALL consists of three components: (i) specific credit
allocation established for expected losses relating to specific impaired loans
for which the recorded investment in the loan exceeds its fair value; (ii)
general portfolio allocation based on historical loan loss experience for
significant loan categories; and (iii) general portfolio allocation based on
qualitative factors such as economic conditions and other relevant factors
specific to the markets in which we operate. We currently segregate loans into
pools based on common risk characteristics for purposes of determining the ALL.
The additional segmentation of the portfolio is intended to provide a more
effective basis for the determination of qualitative factors affecting our ALL.
In addition, management continually evaluates our ALL methodology to assess
whether modifications in our methodology are appropriate in light of
underwriting practices, market conditions, identifiable trends, regulatory
pronouncements or other factors.

The specific credit allocation for the ALL is based on a regular analysis of all
originated loans that are considered impaired. In compliance with ASC 310-10,
the fair value of the loan is determined based on either the present value of
expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the market
price of the loan, or, if the loan is collateral dependent, the fair value of
the underlying collateral less the expected cost of sale for such collateral. At
December 31, 2022, the Company had evaluated loans for impairment with a
recorded investment of $26.8 million, consisting of $7.0 million PCI loans, with
a carrying amount of $6.9 million, $7.0 million of TDR loans, net of TDR PCI
loans and $12.9 million of substandard non-TDR non-PCI loans. The $26.8 million
total of loans individually evaluated for impairment includes $5.2 million of
performing TDR loans. At December 31, 2021, the Company had evaluated loans for
impairment with a recorded investment of $31.7 million, consisting of $11.2
million PCI loans, with a carrying amount of $10.6 million, $9.9 million of TDR
loans, net of TDR PCI loans and $11.3 million of substandard non-TDR non-PCI
loans. The $31.7 million total of loans individually evaluated for impairment
includes $8.0 million of performing TDR loans.

At December 31, 2022, the allowance for loan losses was $17.9 million or 1.27%
of total loans compared to $16.9 million or 1.29% of our total loan portfolio at
December 31, 2021. This level was based on our analysis of the loan portfolio
risk at each of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, as discussed above.

All of the nine factors identified in the FFIEC's Interagency Policy Statement
on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses are taken into account in determining
the ALL. The impact of the factors in general categories are subject to change;
thus, the allocations are management's estimate of the loan loss categories in
which the probable and inherent loss has occurred as of the date of our
assessment. Of the nine factors, we believe the following have the greatest
impact on our customers' ability to repay loans and our ability to recover
potential losses through collateral sales: (1) lending policies and procedures;
(2) economic and business conditions; and (3) the value of the underlying
collateral. As loan balances and estimated losses in a particular loan type
decrease or increase and as the factors and resulting allocations are monitored
by management, changes in the risk profile of the various parts of the loan
portfolio may be reflected in the allocated allowance. The general component of
our ALL-covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience
adjusted for these and other qualitative factors. In addition, management
continues to refine the ALL estimation process as new information becomes
available. These refinements could also cause increases or decreases in the ALL.
The unallocated portion of the ALL is intended to account for imprecision in the
estimation process or relevant current information that may not have been
considered in the process.

Accruing loans 30-89 days or more past due increased $7.5 million at December
31, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021, largely related to increases in
agricultural real estate and construction and land development loans 30-59 days
delinquent.

Nonaccrual loans decreased modestly to $11.2 million at December 31, 2022, from $11.7 million at December 31, 2021.

We believe our credit and underwriting policies continue to support more effective lending decisions by the Bank, which increases the likelihood of maintaining loan quality going forward. Refer to the "Risk Management and the Allowance for Loan Losses" section below for more information related to non-performing loans.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, net loan charge-offs were $0.449 million compared to $0.130 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.



Certain external factors may result in higher future losses but are not readily
determinable at this time, including, but not limited to: unemployment rates,
increased taxes and continuing increased regulatory expectations with respect to
ALL levels. As a result, our analysis may show a need to increase our ALL as a
percentage of total loans and nonperforming loans for the near future. Loans
charged-off are subject to periodic review and specific efforts are taken to
achieve maximum recovery of principal, accrued interest and related expenses on
the loans charged-off.

COVID-19 Loan Modifications. In response to COVID-19, our banking regulator
issued an Interagency Statement encouraging financial institutions to work
prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual
obligations due to COVID-19. Additionally, Section 4013 of the CARES Act
provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification
as a TDR as defined by GAAP, from the period beginning March 1, 2020, until the
earlier of December 31, 2020, or the date that is 60 days after the date on
which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak declared by the
President of the United States under the National Emergencies Act is terminated.
Section 541 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 extends this relief to
the earlier of January 1, 2022, or 60 days after the national emergency
termination date. The President of the United States has announced that the
national emergency declaration will end on May 11, 2023. The Interagency
Statement was subsequently revised in April 2020 to clarify the interaction of
the original guidance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act. In accordance with
this guidance, the Bank instituted a plan to offer modifications to impacted
borrowers. The Bank continues to work with borrowers as the pandemic persists
and is requiring additional support in exchange for additional modifications
beyond the original term. As of December 31, 2022, the Bank has $0.1 million of
remaining residential mortgage COVID-19 related modifications under Section 4013
of the CARES Act. All

previously deferred commercial loans have exited deferral status. At December
31, 2021, COVID-19 related modifications under Section 4013 of the CARES Act
totaled $6.6 million, or 0.5% of gross loans.

 Nonperforming Loans, Potential Problem Loans and Foreclosed Properties. We
employ early identification of non-accrual and problem loans in order to
minimize the risk of loss. Non-performing loans are defined as either 90 days or
more past due or non-accrual. The accrual of interest income is discontinued
according to the following schedules:

•Commercial/agricultural real estate loans, past due 90 days or more;

•Commercial and industrial/agricultural operating loans past due 90 days or more;

•Closed ended consumer installment loans past due 120 days or more; and

•Residential mortgage and open ended consumer installment loans past due 180 days or more.



When interest accruals are discontinued, interest credited to income is
reversed. If collection is in doubt, cash receipts on non-accrual loans are used
to reduce principal rather than recorded as interest income. Restructuring a
loan typically involves the granting of some concession to the borrower
involving a loan modification, such as modifying the payment schedule or making
interest rate changes. Restructured loans may involve loans that have had a
charge-off taken against the loan to reduce the carrying amount of the loan to
fair market value as determined pursuant to ASC 310-10. Restructured loans that
comply with the restructured terms are considered performing loans.

Non-performing assets include non-performing loans, other real estate owned, and
other collateral owned. Our non-performing assets were $12.7 million, or 0.70%
of total assets, at December 31, 2022, compared to $13.2 million, or 0.76% of
total assets, at December 31, 2021. The decrease was largely due to a decrease
in acquired nonaccrual loans and sale of a former branch asset transferred to
OREO in 2021, partially offset by an increase in acquired nonaccrual loans and
the transfer to OREO of two former branch assets in 2022.

The table below shows the totals of accruing troubled debt restructurings as of
December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. The decrease in troubled debt
restructurings from 2021 to 2022 in dollars was largely due to one commercial
real estate loan of $3.5 million that paid in full in 2022.

The table below shows the totals of special mention, substandard and the total
of these, known as criticized loans as of December 31, 2022, and 2021. The
increase in criticized loans in 2022 was largely due to the addition of two
loans in the second quarter of 2022. One was a commercial real estate loan
secured by a hotel, and the other was a fully secured C&I working capital loan.
This increase was partially offset by a reduction in originated accruing TDR
loans, nonperforming and other substandard loans.

Accretable difference:

The table below shows scheduled accretion by year for the accretable difference
recognized due to fair value purchase accounting on recent whole bank
acquisitions. In addition, the table below shows $1.16 million of accretable
discount from purchased impaired loans with the original non-accretable discount
transferred to accretable discount. The accretion on this balance is scheduled
to be approximately $80 in 2023; however, large balance payoffs, as seen in
2022, 2021 and 2020, would accelerate this accretion.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. The Company continues to sell loans to investors in
the secondary market and generally retains the rights to service mortgage loans
sold to others. MSR assets are initially measured at fair value by a third
party; assessed at least quarterly for impairment; carried at the lower of the
initial capitalized amount, net of accumulated amortization, or estimated fair
value. MSR assets are amortized in proportion to and over the period of
estimated net servicing income, with the amortization recorded in non-interest
expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The valuation of MSRs and
related amortization thereon are based on numerous factors, assumptions, and
judgments, such as those for: changes in the mix of loans, interest rates,
prepayment speeds, and default rates. Changes in these factors, assumptions and
judgments may have a material effect on the valuation and amortization of MSRs.
Although management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate the MSRs for
impairment are reasonable, future adjustment may be necessary if future economic
conditions differ substantially from the economic assumptions used to determine
the value of MSRs.

The fair market value of the Company's MSR asset increased to $5.7 million at
December 31, 2022, compared to $4.3 million at December 31, 2021. Impairment
reversals of $0.6 million were recorded in 2022 on the MSR impairment which
reduced the impairment to zero at December 31, 2022. This was partially offset
by a reduction in the gross MSR balance of $0.5 million, which was due to
amortization of $0.8 million and additions from originations of $0.3 million. In
2021, amortization was $1.6 million and additions from originations were $1.1
million for a reduction in the gross asset of $0.5 million The unpaid balances
of one- to four-family residential real estate loans serviced for others as of
December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were $523.7 million and $556.1
million, respectively. The fair market value of the Company's MSR asset as a
percentage of its servicing portfolio at December 31, 2022, and December 31,
2021 was 1.08% and 0.78%, respectively.

Intangible Assets. We have intangible assets of $2.4 million at December 31,
2022, compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2021. The intangible assets are
comprised of core deposit intangible assets arising from various acquisitions
from 2016 through 2019. Amortization of these intangibles was $1.4 million in
2022.

Foreclosed and repossessed assets. Included in foreclosed and repossessed
assets, net are two closed branch locations that are being held for sale. These
properties are being held at $1,041 and $130, respectively, which represent
their estimated fair market values less the cost to sell. In 2022, a loss of
$666 was recognized on the reclassification of these properties from fixed
assets to foreclosed assets.

The bank closed on the sale of the property valued at $130 in January 2023 to a non-financial institution at the carrying value.



Deposits. Deposits are our largest source of funds. Total deposits increased to
$1.42 billion at December 31, 2022, from $1.39 billion at December 31, 2021. The
increase in deposits was largely due to the addition of $39.8 million of broker
certificates in the third and fourth quarter. Based on current market
conditions, the brokered CD markets are available to the Bank for supplemental
additions. Growth in non-interest bearing demand deposits and money market
accounts was partially offset by a $25.0 million reduction in interest bearing
demand deposits as customers sought higher yields and a reduction in CD's of
$17.5 million before the impact of brokered CD additions.

The following is a summary of deposits by type at December 31, 2022 and December
31, 2021, respectively:

At December 31, 2022, the Bank's available and unused portion under the FHLB
borrowing arrangement was approximately $256,773 compared to $204,271 as of
December 31, 2021.

(2) Maximum month-end borrowed amounts outstanding under this borrowing agreement were $157,530 and $123,530, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.



(3) The weighted-average interest rates on FHLB borrowings, with maturities less
than twelve months, outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021
were 4.09% and 2.45%, respectively.

(4)  At December 31, 2022, no FHLB term notes can be called by the FHLB. At
December 31, 2021, FHLB term notes totaling $55,000 could be called by the FHLB
on a quarterly basis, and if not called, would mature at various dates in 2029
and 2030. These notes were called by the FHLB in 2022.

(5) Senior notes, entered into by the Company in June 2019 consist of the following:



(a) A term note, which was subsequently refinanced in March 2022, requiring
quarterly interest-only payments through March 2025, and quarterly principal and
interest payments thereafter. Interest is variable, based on US Prime rate minus
75 basis points with a floor rate of 3.00%.

(b) A $5,000 line of credit, maturing in August 2023, that remains undrawn upon.

(6) Subordinated notes resulted from the following:



(a) The Company's private sale in August 2017, which bore a fixed interest rate
of 6.75% for five years. In August 2022, they converted to a three-month LIBOR
plus 4.90% rate, and the interest rate will reset quarterly thereafter. The note
was
                                       45
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





callable by the Bank when, and anytime after, the floating rate is initially
set. Interest-only payments were due quarterly. The Company sent the required
redemption notice to the note holders in June 2022, and this subordinated note
was called and repaid in full on August 10, 2022.

(b) The Company's Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement entered into with certain
purchasers in August 2020, which bears a fixed interest rate of 6.00% for five
years. In September 2025, the fixed interest rate will be reset quarterly to
equal the three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 591 basis
points. The note is callable by the Bank when, and anytime after, the floating
rate is initially set. Interest-only payments are due semi-annually each year
during the fixed interest period and quarterly during the floating interest
period.

(c) The Company's Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement entered into with certain
purchasers in March 2022, which bears a fixed interest rate of 4.75% for five
years. In April 2027, the fixed interest rate will be reset quarterly to equal
the three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 329 basis points. The
note is callable by the Bank when, and anytime after, the floating rate is
initially set. Interest-only payments are due semi-annually each year during the
fixed interest period and quarterly during the floating interest period.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances and other borrowings

We utilize advances and other borrowings, as necessary, to supplement core deposits to meet our funding and liquidity needs and we evaluate all options for funding securities.



FHLB advances increased $31.0 million to $142.5 million as of December 31, 2022,
compared to $111.5 million as of December 31, 2021. The Bank terminated $15.0
million of advances in the quarter ended March 31, 2022, incurring a $0.002
million prepayment penalty, as we modestly reduced excess liquidity. $27.5
million of FHLB advances were called by the FHLB in each of the quarters ended
June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022. The Bank added a $5 million advance
maturing in the second quarter of 2023. The Bank had $12 million of FHLB
advances maturing overnight as of December 31, 2022, and an additional $95.0
million maturing in January of 2023. The Bank has an irrevocable Standby Letter
of Credit Master Reimbursement Agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank. This
irrevocable standby letter of credit ("LOC") is supported by loan collateral as
an alternative to directly pledging investment securities on behalf of a
municipal customer as collateral for their interest-bearing deposit balances.
The Bank's current unused borrowing capacity, supported by loan collateral as of
December 31, 2022, is approximately $256.8 million.

The Bank maintains three unsecured federal funds purchased lines of credit with
its banking partners which total $75.0 million. These lines bear interest at the
lender bank's announced daily federal funds rate, mature daily and are revocable
at the discretion of the lending institution. There were no borrowings
outstanding on these lines of credit as of December 31, 2022, or December 31,
2021.

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Bank had the ability to borrow $4.1 million
and $0.8 from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. The ability to borrow is
based on mortgage-backed securities pledged with a carrying value of $5.4
million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. There
were no Federal Reserve borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Stockholders' Equity. Total stockholders' equity was $167.1 million at December
30, 2022, compared to $170.9 million at December 31, 2021. The increases in
stockholders' equity included the Company's net income of $17.8 million and
restricted stock amortization of $0.9 million. These increases were more than
offset by: (1) the repurchase of approximately 129 thousand shares of its common
stock, which reduced equity by $1.8 million; (2) the payment of the annual cash
dividend, paid in February 2022, to common stockholders at $0.26 per share or
$2.7 million; and (3) an increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale
securities of $17.8 million.

In November 2020, the Board of Directors authorized a 5% or 557 thousand share
repurchase program. The Company repurchased all remaining authorized shares of
the Company's stock under the November 2020 share repurchase program not
previously repurchased in 2020 during the year ended December 31, 2021. On July
23, 2021, the Board of Directors adopted a new share repurchase program. Under
this new share repurchase program, approximately 129 thousand shares were
repurchased during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company is authorized
to repurchase an additional 243 thousand shares under this July 2021 share
repurchase program. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed
into law, which includes a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases. We do not expect
the 1% excise tax on stock repurchases under the Inflation Reduction Act will
have a material impact to our financial statements for the fiscal years after
December 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Asset / Liability Management. Liquidity management refers to our ability to ensure cash is available in a timely manner to meet loan demand, depositors' needs, and meet other financial obligations as they become due without undue


                                       46
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





cost, risk, or disruption to normal operating activities. We manage and monitor
our short-term and long-term liquidity positions and needs through a regular
review of maturity profiles, funding sources, and loan and deposit forecasts to
minimize funding risk. A key metric we monitor is our liquidity ratio,
calculated as cash and securities portfolio divided by total assets. At December
31, 2022, our liquidity ratio decreased to 13.0% percent from 17.0% at December
31, 2021. This was largely due to a reduction in interest-bearing cash.

Our primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayments and
maturities on the investment and loan portfolios and funds provided from
operations. We use our sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments,
to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, and to fund
loan commitments. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and
maturing short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds,
deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest
rates, economic conditions and competition. Although $128.5 million of our
$225.3 million (57%) CD portfolio will mature within the next 12 months, we have
historically retained a majority of our maturing CD's. However, due to strategic
pricing decisions regarding rate matching and branch closures, our retention
rate decreased in 2022 and may remain at lower than historical levels in 2023
based on management's current pricing strategy, which reflects the Bank's
current strong on-balance sheet liquidity ratio. Through new deposit product
offerings to our branch and commercial customers, we are currently attempting to
strengthen customer relationships to attract additional non-rate sensitive
deposits. Based on interest rates on scheduled maturities and lower current
market interest rates, this should also improve our cost of funds.

We maintain access to additional sources of funds including FHLB borrowings and
lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank, and our correspondent banks. We
utilize FHLB borrowings to leverage our capital base, to provide funds for our
lending and investment activities, and to manage our interest rate risk. Our
borrowing arrangement with the FHLB calls for pledging certain qualified real
estate, commercial and industrial loans, and borrowing up to 75% of the value of
those loans, not to exceed 35% of the Bank's total assets. Currently, we have
approximately $256.8 million available to borrow under this arrangement,
supported by loan collateral as of December 31, 2022. At December 31, 2021, the
Bank had no borrowing capacity under the Federal Reserve SBA PPP Liquidity
Facility, as the program expired on July 30, 2021. We also had borrowing
capacity of $4.1 million at the Federal Reserve Bank and $75 million of
uncommitted federal funds purchased lines with correspondent banks as part of
our contingency funding plan. In addition, the Company maintains a $5.0 million
revolving line of credit which is available as needed for general liquidity
purposes. While the Bank does not have formal brokered certificate lines of
credit with counter parties at December 31, 2022, we believe that the Bank could
access this market, which provides an additional potential source of liquidity
as evidenced by third and fourth quarter 2022 new brokered deposits. See Note 9,
"Federal Home Loan Bank and Other Borrowings" of "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements" which are included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Form 10-K, for further detail.

In reviewing the adequacy of our liquidity, we review and evaluate historical
financial information, including information regarding general economic
conditions, current ratios, management goals and the resources available to meet
our anticipated liquidity needs. Management believes that our liquidity is
adequate, and to management's knowledge, there are no known events or
uncertainties that will result or are likely to reasonably result in a material
increase or decrease in our liquidity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has
entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments, issued to meet customer
financial needs. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial
statements when they become payable. These instruments include unused
commitments for lines of credit, overdraft protection lines of credit and home
equity lines of credit, as well as commitments to extend credit. As of December
31, 2022, the Company had approximately $243.0 million in unused loan
commitments, compared to approximately $271.0 million in unused commitments as
of December 31, 2021. In addition, there are $4.7 million of commitments for
contributions of capital to an SBIC and an investment company at December 31,
2022. These commitments totaled $5.0 million at December 31, 2021. See Note 11,
"Commitments and Contingencies"; "Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet
Risk" of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" which are included in Part
II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Form 10-K, for
further detail.
