SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"); therefore, they do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.  Such statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of results for the selected interim periods.  Users of financial information produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the footnotes contained in the audited consolidated financial statements appearing in Security Federal Corporation’s (the “Company”) 20212022 Annual Report to Shareholders which was filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 (“2021 10-K”202210-K”) when reviewing interim financial statements. The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 20222023 or any other period. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


NOTE 2 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Security Federal Bank (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Security Federal Investments, Inc. ("SFINV"), and Security Federal Insurance, Inc. (“SFINS”), and Security Financial Services Corporation (“SFSC”). SFINV was formed to hold investment securities and allow for better management of the securities portfolio. SFINS is an insurance agency offering auto, business, health and home insurance.  Effective April 30, 2022, Collier Jennings Financial Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of SFINS, and its subsidiaries, Security Federal Auto Insurance, The Auto Insurance Store Inc., and Security Federal Premium Pay Plans Inc. and its wholly owned premium finance subsidiary were dissolved. Security Federal Premium Pay Plans Inc.’s ownership interests in four other premium finance subsidiaries were disposed of at an immaterial gain. Additionally, effective April 30, 2022, previously inactive SFSC was dissolved.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, Security Federal Statutory Trust (the “Trust”), which issued and sold fixed and floating rate capital securities of the Trust.  However, under current accounting guidance, the Trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.  The Bank is primarily engaged in the business of accepting savings and demand deposits and originating mortgage loans and other loans to individuals and small businesses for various personal and commercial purposes.


NOTE 3 - CRITICALSUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company has adopted various accounting policies, which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in the footnotes to the audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 20212022 included in our 20212022 Annual Report to Shareholders. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management, which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies.  The judgments and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a material impact on our carrying values of assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since December 31, 2022, except for the following:


Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023

The

On January 1, 2023, the Company believesadopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326. This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.  The impact of an unexpected and sudden large loss could deplete the allowance and potentially require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings. The Company provides for loan losses using the allowance method.  Accordingly, all loan losses are chargedcredit losses.

In addition, CECL made changes to the related allowance and all recoveries are creditedaccounting for AFS debt securities. One such change is to the allowance for loan losses.  Additions to the allowance for loan losses are provided by charges to operations based on various factors, which, in management’s judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating possible losses.  Such factors considered by management include the fair value of the underlying collateral, stated guarantees by the borrower (if applicable), the borrower’s ability to repay from other economic resources, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance for loanrequire credit losses to the outstanding loans, loss experience, delinquency trends,be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on AFS debt securities if management does not intend to sell and general economic conditions.  Management evaluates the carrying value of the loans periodically and the allowancedoes not believe that it is adjusted accordingly.

more likely than not, they will be required to sell.

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



While management uses

The Company adopted ASC 326 and all related subsequent amendments thereto effective January 1, 2023 using the best information availablemodified retrospective approach for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The transition adjustment of the adoption of CECL included an increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans of $784,000, which is presented as a reduction to make evaluations, futurenet loans outstanding, and an increase in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $1.2 million, which is recorded within "Other Liabilities." The adoption of CECL had an insignificant impact on the Company's held to maturity and AFS securities portfolios. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $1.6 million as of January 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect of adopting CECL, which reflects the transition adjustments maynoted above, net of the applicable deferred tax assets recorded. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under CECL while prior period amounts continue to be necessaryreported in accordance with previously applicable accounting standards (“Incurred Loss”).

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to January 1, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any other-than-temporarily impaired investment securities. Therefore, upon adoption of ASC 326, the Company determined that an allowance for credit losses on AFS securities was not deemed material.

The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable and instead elected to reverse interest income on loans or securities that are placed on nonaccrual status, which is generally when the instrument is 90 days past due, or earlier if economic conditions differ substantiallythe Company believes the collection of interest is doubtful. The Company has concluded that this policy results in the timely reversal of uncollectible interest.

Allowance for Credit Losses Held to Maturity Securities

Management measures expected credit losses on held to maturity debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. Accrued interest receivable on held to maturity debt securities totaled $729,000 at June 30, 2023 and was excluded from the assumptions used in making these evaluations.  estimate of credit losses.

The estimate of expected credit losses is primarily based on the ratings assigned to the securities by debt rating agencies and the average of the annual historical loss rates associated with those ratings. The Company then multiplies those loss rates, as adjusted for any modifications to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts as considered necessary, by the remaining lives of each individual security to arrive at a lifetime expected loss amount. Additionally, private label collateralized mortgage obligation ("CMO") securities which are not explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government are evaluated utilizing underlying pool data such as historical loss rates, loan-to-value ratios and credit enhancement data. See "Note 7 - Investments Held to Maturity" with regards to the held to maturity portfolio major security types.

All mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored corporations are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. The state and local governments securities held by the Company are highly rated by major rating agencies.

As a result, no allowance for loancredit losses is subjectwas recorded on held to periodic evaluations by our bank regulatory agencies, includingmaturity securities at June 30, 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses Available for Sale Securities

For AFS securities, management evaluates all investments in an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. If the Board of Governors ofCompany has the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve"),intent to sell the FDIC and the South Carolina Board of Financial Institutions, which may require adjustments to be made to the allowance based upon the information that is available at the time of their examination.


The Company values impaired loans at the loan’s fair value ifsecurity or it is probablemore likely than not that the Company will be unablerequired to collect all amounts due accordingsell the security, the security is written down to fair value and the entire loss is recorded in earnings.

If either of the above criteria is not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value is the result of credit losses or other factors. In making the assessment, the Company may consider various factors including the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, performance on any underlying collateral, downgrades in the ratings of the security by a rating agency, the failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments and adverse conditions specifically related to the terms ofsecurity. If the loan agreement atassessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of expected cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the market priceamortized cost basis of the loan, if available,security and any excess is recorded as an allowance for credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any amount of unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Changes in the allowance for credit loss are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance for credit loss when management believes an AFS security is confirmed to be uncollectible or the valuewhen either of the underlying collateral.  Expected cash flowscriteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. At June 30, 2023, there was no allowance for credit loss related to the AFS portfolio.

Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities totaled $2.8 million at June 30, 2023 and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are requiredreported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts and deferred fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable related to loans is reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using methods that approximate a level yield without anticipating prepayments.

The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due and is not well collateralized and in the process of collection, or when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the principal or interest will not be collectible in the normal course of business. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. A loan is considered to be discountedpast due when a scheduled payment has not been received 30 days after the contractual due date.

All accrued interest is reversed against interest income when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest received on such loans is accounted for using the cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, there is a sustained period of repayment performance, and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in loans as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for credit losses is estimated by management using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The Company measures expected credit losses for loans on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments:

Real Estate

Construction - Construction loans consist of loans to construct a borrower’s primary or secondary residence or vacant land upon which the owner intends to construct a dwelling at a future date. These loans are typically secured by undeveloped or partially developed land in anticipation of completing construction of a 1-4 family residential property. There is risk these construction and development projects can experience delays and cost overruns exceeding the borrower’s financial ability to complete the project. Such cost overruns can result in foreclosure of partially completed and unmarketable collateral. In addition, construction loans consist of loans to finance land for development of commercial or residential real property and construction of multifamily apartments or other commercial properties. These loans are highly dependent on the supply and demand for commercial real estate as well as the demand for newly constructed residential homes and lots acquired for development. Deterioration in demand could result in decreased collateral values, which could make repayments of outstanding loans difficult for customers.

Residential Mortgage - Residential mortgages consist of loans to purchase or refinance the borrower’s primary dwelling, second residence or vacation home and are often secured by 1-4 family residential property. Significant and rapid declines in real estate values can result in borrowers having debt levels in excess of the current market value of the collateral.

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Commercial - Owner occupied commercial mortgages consist of loans to purchase or re-finance owner occupied nonresidential properties. Typically, owner occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Commercial mortgages secured by owner occupied properties are primarily dependent on the ability of borrowers to achieve business results consistent with those projected at loan origination. While these loans are collateralized by real property in an effort to mitigate risk, it is possible the liquidation of collateral will not fully satisfy the obligation. Non-owner occupied commercial mortgages consist of loans to purchase or refinance investment nonresidential properties. Typically, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development, industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate. The primary risk associated with non-owner occupied commercial mortgage loans is the ability of the income-producing property that collateralizes the loan to produce adequate cash flow to service the debt. While these loans are collateralized by real property in an effort to mitigate risk, it is possible the liquidation of collateral will not fully satisfy the obligation.

Commercial and Agricultural - Commercial business loans consist of loans or lines of credit to finance accounts receivable, inventory or other general business needs, business credit cards, and lease financing agreements for equipment, vehicles, or other assets. The primary risk associated with commercial and industrial and lease financing loans is the ability of borrowers to achieve business results consistent with those projected at origination. Failure to achieve these projections presents risk the loan’s effective interest rate.  Whenborrower will be unable to service the ultimate collectability of an impaired loan’s principal is in doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are applied to principal.  When this doubt does not exist, cash receipts are applied underdebt consistent with the contractual terms of the loan agreement or lease.

Consumer loans

Home equity - Home equity loans consist of home equity lines of credit and other lines of credit secured by first or second liens on the borrower’s primary residence. These loans are secured by both senior and junior liens on the residential real estate and are particularly susceptible to declining collateral values. 

Other - Consumer loans consist of loans to finance unsecured home improvements, student loans, automobiles and revolving lines of credit that can be secured or unsecured. The value of the underlying collateral within this class is at risk of potential rapid depreciation which could result in unpaid balances in excess of the collateral.

The Company calculates the allowance for credit losses on loans for each pool of loans using a remaining life loss methodology with a two quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period and an immediate reversion period. Management believes that the Company’s historical loss experience provides the best basis for its assessment of expected credit losses on loans to interest and then to principal.  Oncedetermine the recorded principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are applied to interest income to the extent that any interest has been foregone.  Further cash receipts are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously charged off.


allowance for credit losses. The Company uses assumptionsits own internal data to measure historical credit loss experience within the loan pools with similar risk characteristics over an economic cycle. The Company then forecasts the calculated historical loss rates over the calculated remaining life of loans by pool.

Additionally, the allowance for credit losses calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. These qualitative adjustments may increase or reduce reserve levels and estimatesinclude adjustments for lending management experience and risk tolerance, loan review and audit results, asset quality and portfolio trends, loan portfolio growth, industry concentrations, trends in determiningunderlying collateral, external factors and economic conditions not already captured.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. When management determines that foreclosure is probable and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of collateral at the reporting date adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.

Allowance for Credit Losses Unfunded Commitments

Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

11

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company records an allowance for credit losses - unfunded commitments unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancellable, through a charge to provision for unfunded commitments in the Company’s income taxes payable or refundablestatements. The allowance for credit losses - unfunded commitments is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under CECL using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur as well as any third-party guarantees. The allowance for credit losses - unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

In January 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminated the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, for public business entities, the guidance requires disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. The Company adopted the guidance using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company no longer establishes a specific reserve for modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Instead, these modifications are included in their respective cohort and a historical loss rate is applied to the current year, deferred income tax liabilitiesloan balance to arrive at the quantitative baseline portion of the allowance. The difference between the allowance previously determined and assetsthe current allowance was not material to the Company’s financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that could affect accounting, reporting, and disclosure of financial information by the Company:

In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amendments to extend the period of time preparers can use the reference rate reform relief guidance under ASC Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, to address the fact that all London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") tenors were not discontinued as of December 31, 2021, and some tenors wouldn't be published until June 2023. The amendments are effective immediately for events recognized differently inall entities and are applied prospectively. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements and income tax returns, and income tax expense. Determining these amounts requires analysis of certain transactions and interpretation of tax laws and regulations. The Company exercises considerable judgment in evaluatingstatements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments and estimatesFASB or other standards-setting authorities are reevaluated onnot expected to have a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. No assurance can be given that either the tax returns submitted by us or the income tax reportedmaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will not be adjusted by either adverse rulings by the United States Tax Court, changes in the tax code,position, results of operations or assessments made by the Internal Revenue Service.cash flows.


NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Accounting guidance specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share (“EPS”) for entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock such as options, warrants, convertible securities or contingent stock agreements if those securities trade in a public market. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive common shares had been issued.  The dilutive effect of options outstanding under the Company’s stock option plan is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method. There were no stock options outstanding at June 30, 20222023 or 2021;2022; and therefore, no dilutive options were included in the calculation of diluted EPS for those periods. The following tables include a summary of the Company's basic EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.periods indicated.

The Company reviews its investment securities portfolio at least quarterly and more frequently when economic conditions warrant, assessing whether there is any indication of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”).

Additional deterioration in market and economic conditions related to the novel coronavirus of 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic may, however, have an adverse impact onallowance for credit quality in the future and result in OTTI charges. Factors considered in the review include estimated future cash flows, length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and our intent and ability to retain the security to allow for an anticipated recovery in market value. If the review determines that there is OTTI, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair valuedeemed necessary.

Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities totaled $2.8 million at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made, or the Company may recognize a portion in other comprehensive income.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 23 and six individual HTM securities were in a loss position, including three19 and two6 securities that were in a loss position for greater than 12 months, respectively. The Company believes, based on industry analyst reports and credit ratings, that the deterioration in value was attributable to changes in market interest rates and was not in the credit quality of the issuer and therefore, the loss was not considered other-than-temporary.issuer. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity.

The estimate of expected credit losses on investments HTM is primarily based on the ratings assigned to the securities by debt rating agencies and the average of the annual historical loss rates associated with those ratings. The Company then multiplies those loss rates, as adjusted for any modifications to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts as considered necessary, by the remaining lives of each individual security to arrive at a lifetime expected loss amount. Additionally, private label CMO securities which are not explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government are evaluated utilizing underlying pool data such as historical loss rates, loan-to-value ratios and credit enhancement data.

All mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored corporations are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. The state and local governments securities held by the Company are highly rated by major rating agencies.

As a result of the analysis, there was no allowance for credit losses recorded for investments HTM as of June 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2023, there were no HTM debt securities that were classified as either nonaccrual or 90 days or more past due and still accruing.

Accrued interest receivable on HTM debt securities totaled $729,000 at June 30, 2023 and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

The Company uses a risk based approach based on the following credit quality measures when analyzing the loan portfolio: pass, caution, special mention, and substandard. These indicators are used to rate the credit quality of loans for the purposes of determining the Company’s allowance for loancredit losses. Pass loans are loans that are performing and are deemed adequately protected by the net worth of the borrower or the underlying collateral value. These loans are considered to have the least amount of risk in terms of determining the allowance for loancredit losses. Loans that are graded as substandard are considered to have the most risk. These loans typically have an identified weakness or weaknesses and are inadequately protected by the net worth of the borrower or collateral value. All loans 90 days or more past due are automatically classified in this category. The caution and special mention categories fall in between the pass and substandard grades and consist of loans that do not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification but possess weaknesses.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,, the Company did not have any loans that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. The Company's strategy is to work with its borrowers to reach acceptable payment plans while protecting its interests in the existing collateral.  In the event an acceptable arrangement cannot be reached, the Company may have to acquire these properties through foreclosure or other means and subsequently sell, develop, or liquidate them.

The Company has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The underlying collateral can vary based upon the type of loan. The following provides more detail about the types of collateral that secure collateral dependent loans:

Commercial real estate loans can be secured by either owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment commercial real estate. Typically, owner occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development, industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate.

Construction real estate loans are typically secured by commercial and residential lots.
Commercial and agricultural business loans are primarily secured by business equipment, furniture and fixtures, inventory and receivables.

Residential real estate loans are typically secured by first mortgages, and in some cases could be secured by a second mortgage.

Home equity lines of credit are generally secured by second mortgages on residential real estate property.

Consumer loans are generally secured by automobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Some consumer loans are unsecured and have no underlying collateral.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost of collateral dependent loans:

Prior to Consolidated Financial Statements





Allowance for Loan Lossesthe adoption of ASU 2016-13, loans were considered impaired when, based on current information and Loans Receivable Evaluated for Impairment
events, it was probable the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreements. Impaired loans include loans on nonaccrual status and accruing troubled debt restructurings. When determining if the Company would be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement, the Company considered the borrower’s capacity to pay, which included such factors as the borrower’s current financial statements, an analysis of global cash flow sufficient to pay all debt obligations and an evaluation of secondary sources of repayment, such as guarantor support and collateral value. Non-accrual commercial loans under $200,000 and non-accrual consumer loans under $100,000 were considered immaterial and are excluded from the impairment review. The tables below summarizeinclude all loans deemed impaired, whether or not individually assessed for impairment. If a loan was deemed impaired, a specific valuation allowance was allocated, if necessary, so that the loan was reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment was expected solely from the collateral.

Interest payments on impaired loans were typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount was reasonably assured, in which case interest was recognized on a cash basis.

The table below summarizes the impaired loan balances evaluated individually and collectively for impairment within the allowance for loan losses and loans receivable balances at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Non-accrual commercial loans under $200,000 and non-accrual consumer loans under $100,000 are considered immaterial and are excluded from the impairment review. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures the impairment and records the loan at fair value. Fair value is estimated using one of the following methods: fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, discounted cash flows, or market value of the loan based on similar debt. The fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell is the most frequently used method.

Troubled Debt Restructurings and Loan Modifications
In the course of resolving delinquent loans, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. A troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") is a restructuring in which the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to a borrower that it would not otherwise consider (FASB ASC Topic 310-40)Incurred Loss methodology .  The concessions granted on TDRs generally include terms to reduce the interest rate, extend the term of the debt obligation, or modify the payment structure on the debt obligation. The Company grants such concessions to reassess the borrower’s financial status and develop a plan for repayment. At the date of modification, TDRs are initially classified as nonaccrual TDRs. They are returned to accruing status when there is economic substance to the restructuring, there is documented credit evaluation of the borrower's financial condition, the remaining balance is reasonably assured of repayment in accordance with its modified terms, and the borrower has demonstrated sustained repayment performance in accordance with the modified terms for a reasonable period of time (generally a minimum of six months).

Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.

Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. Occasionally, the Company modifies loans by providing principal forgiveness on certain of its real estate loans. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.

In some cases, the Company will modify a certain loan by providing multiple types of concessions. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted. As such multiple types of modifications may have been made on the same loan within the current reporting period each much be reported. The combination is at least two of the following: a term extension, principal forgiveness, and interest rate reduction.

Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

The Company had three TDRstwo modified loans with a combined balance of $404,000 included in impaired loans$367,000 at June 30, 20222023, compared to three TDRstwo modified loans with a combined balance of $694,000$385,000 at December 31, 2021. There2022.

The Company did not modify any loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no loans restructured as TDRs duringmodified with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty for which there was a payment default within 12 months of the six months ended June 30, 2022 or the six months ended June 30, 2021 and no TDRs were in default at those dates.restructuring date. The Company considers any loan 30 days or more past due to be in default. At June 30, 2022

Allowance for Credit Losses - Unfunded Commitments

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses - unfunded commitments for credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit and December 31, 2021, the Company had no commitments to extend additionalfuture credit, as well as both standby and commercial letters of credit when there is a contractual obligation to borrowers whose loan terms have been modifiedextend credit and when this extension of credit is not unconditionally cancellable (i.e., commitment cannot be canceled at any time). The allowance for credit losses - unfunded commitments is adjusted through the provision for (reversal of) credit losses. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in a TDR. All TDRs are also classified as impairedcomputing the allowance for credit losses on loans, and are includeddiscussed in this Note 8. The allowance for credit losses - unfunded commitments of $1.1 million and $0 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, is separately classified on the balance sheet within "Other Liabilities."

Our policy with respect
SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to accrual of interest on loans restructured as a TDR follows relevant supervisory guidance.  That is, if a borrower has demonstrated performance under the previous loan terms and shows capacity to perform under the restructured loan terms, continued accrual of interestConsolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 9 - DEPOSITS

Deposits outstanding at the restructured interest rate is probable.  If a borrower was materially delinquent on payments prior to the restructuring but shows capacity to meet the restructured loan terms, the loan will likely continue as nonaccrual going forward.  Lastly, if the borrower does not perform under the restructured terms, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status.

The Company will continue to closely monitor these loans and will cease accruing interest on them if management believes that the borrowers may not continue performing based on the restructured note terms.  If, after previously being classified as a TDR, a loan is restructured a second time, then that loan is automatically placed on nonaccrual status.  The Bank's policy with respect to nonperforming loans requires the borrower to become current and then make a minimum of 6 consecutive payments in accordance with the loan terms before that loan can be placed back on accrual status.  Further, the borrower must show capacity to continue performing into the future prior to restoration of accrual status.

NOTE 10 - BORROWINGS


The Company had $42.3$69.2 million in outstanding borrowings under the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) with a weighted average borrowing rate of 4.42% at June 30, 2023 compared to $44.1 million in borrowings from the FRB discount window with a weighted average borrowing rate of 4.50% at December 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company elected to participate in the BTFP, allowing the Company to refinance its existing borrowings from the FRB discount window in order to receive a lower fixed rate. Advances made under the BTFP are for up to one year and will be extended at the one year overnight index swap ("OIS") rate as of the day the advance is made plus 10 basis points. The interest rate will be fixed for the term of the advance on the day the advance is made. To determine the rate, the BTFP will use the fixed OIS rate based on the effective federal funds rate for a one-year maturity.  Depository institutions may borrow from the FRB discount window for periods as long as 90 days, and borrowings are prepayable and renewable by the borrower on a daily basis. At June 30, 2023, the Company had pledged as collateral for these borrowings investment securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $163.4 million and $26.8$149.7 million, compared to an amortized cost and fair value of $72.6 million and $69.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company had $17.9 million and $27.6 million in other borrowings at June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. These borrowings consist of short-term repurchase agreements with certain commercial demand deposit customers for sweep accounts. The repurchase agreements typically mature within one to three days and the interest rate paid on these borrowings floats monthly with money market type rates. The interest rate paid on the repurchase agreements was 0.15%1.49% at both June 30, 2022 and 2023 compared to 0.75% at December 31, 2021.2022. Collateral pledged by the Company for these repurchase agreements consisted of investments with a combined amortized cost and fair value of $53.1$45.8 million and $51.6$42.7 million at June 30, 20222023 and $45.3$52.3 million and $45.2$49.8 million at December 31, 2021,2022, respectively.

There were no outstanding FHLB advances at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. FHLB advances are secured by a blanket collateral agreement with the FHLB by pledging the Company’s portfolio of residential first mortgage loans and investment securities. The Company's pledged collateral for FHLB advances had an amortized cost and fair value of $58.7 million and $51.3 million at June 30, 2023, and $70.1 million and $61.1 million at December 31, 2022, respectively.

In September 2006, Security Federal Statutory Trust (the "Trust"), issued and sold fixed and floating rate capital securities of the Trust (the “Capital Securities”). The Trust used the net proceeds from the sale of the Capital Securities to purchase a like amount of junior subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) of the Company which are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as junior subordinated debentures. The Capital Securities accrue and pay distributions at a floating rate of three month LIBOR plus 170 basis points annually which was equal to 3.99%7.25% at June 30, 20222023 compared to 1.90%6.47% at December 31, 2021.2022. The distribution rate payable on the Capital Securities is cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears. The Capital Securities mature or are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity on December 15, 2036, or upon earlier optional redemption as provided in the indenture. The Company has had the right to redeem the Capital Securities in whole or in part.

In November 2019, the Company sold and issued to certain institutional investors $17.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2029 (the “10-Year“10-Year Notes”) and $12.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2034 (the “15-Year“15-Year Notes”, and together with the 10-Year10-Year Notes, the “Notes”).

The 10-Year10-Year Notes have a stated maturity of November 22, 2029, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per year, from and including November 22, 2019 but excluding November 22, 2024. From and including November 22, 2024 to but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate shall reset semi-annually to an interest rate equal to the then-current three-monththree-month LIBOR rate plus 369 basis points.

The 15-Year15-Year Notes have a stated maturity of November 22, 2034, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25% per year, from and including November 22, 2019 but excluding November 22, 2029. From and including November 22, 2029 to but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate for the 15-Year15-Year Notes shall reset semi-annually to an interest rate equal to the then-current three-monththree-month LIBOR rate plus 357 basis points. The Notes are payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year commencing June 1, 2020.

Both the 10-Year and 15-Note Year subordinated notes include remedies in the event that LIBOR is discontinued. The Company is currently determining an appropriate benchmark replacement for LIBOR. The Company expects the replacement benchmark to be materially consistent with the three-month LIBOR.

The Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the holder and may be redeemed by the Company only under certain limited circumstances prior to November 22, 2024, with respect to the 10-Year10-Year Notes, and November 22, 2029, with respect to the 15-Year15-Year Notes. The Company may redeem the 10-Year10-Year Notes and the 15-Year15-Year Notes at its option, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, after November 22, 2024 and November 22, 2029, respectively. The Notes are unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company and rank junior in right to payment to the Company’s current and future senior indebtedness, and each Note is equal in right to payment with respect to the other Notes.

The Notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Company under applicable regulatory guidelines. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to fund the redemption of the Convertible Debenturesconvertible senior debentures and for general corporate purposes.



purposes to support future growth.

During the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company repurchased $1.0 million in principal of the 10-Year Notes and $2.5 million in principal of the 15-Year Notes, leaving an aggregate remaining principal balance of $16.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

NOTE 12 - REGULATORY MATTERS


The Bank, as a state-chartered, federally insured savings bank, is subject to the capital requirements established by the FDIC. Under the FDIC's capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

The Company is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve. Bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. For a bank holding company with less than $3.0$3.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company's subsidiary banks to be well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations.

Based on its capital levels at June 30, 2022,2023, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements as of that date. Consistent with the Bank's goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, it is the Bank's policy to maintain a "well-capitalized" status under the regulatory capital categories of the FDIC. Based on capital levels at June 30, 2022,2023, the Bank was considered to be "well-capitalized" under applicable regulatory requirements. Management monitors the capital levels to provide for current and future business opportunities and to maintain the Bank's "well-capitalized" status.

NOTE 13 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

GAAP requires the Company to disclose fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet and to measure that fair value using an exit price notion, the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date under current market conditions. Accounting guidance emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). The following three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 -

Level 1 -

Quoted Market Price in Active Markets

Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasuries and money market funds.

Level 2 -

Significant Other Observable Inputs

Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, corporate debt securities and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain derivative contracts.

Level 3 -

Significant Unobservable Inputs

Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.


The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.


Investment Securities AFS

Investment securities available for sale

Investments AFS are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. At June 30, 2022,2023, the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of student loan pools, government and agency bonds, mortgage-backed securitiesMBS issued by government agencies or GSEs, private label CMO mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. Fair value measurement is based upon prices obtained from third party pricing services that use independent pricing models which rely on a variety of factors including reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, benchmark yields, economic and industry events and other relevant market information. As a result, these securities are classified as Level 2.


Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

The Company originates fixed rate residential loans on a servicing released basis in the secondary market. Loans closed but not yet settled with the FHLMC or other investors are carried in the Company’s loans held for sale portfolio.  These loans are fixed rate residential loans that have been originated in the Company’s name and have closed.  Virtually all of these loans have commitments to be purchased by investors and the majority of these loans were locked in by price with the investors on the same day or shortly thereafter that the loan was locked in with the Company’s customers.  Therefore, these loans present very little market risk for the Company. The Company usually delivers a commitment to, and receives funding from, the investor within 30 days.  Commitments to sell these loans to the investor are considered derivative contracts and are sold to investors on a “best efforts" basis. The Company is not obligated to deliver a loan or pay a penalty if a loan is not delivered to the investor. As a result of the short-term nature of these derivative contracts, the fair value of the mortgage loans held for sale in most cases is the same as the value of the loan amount at its origination. These loans are classified as Level 2.

Land Held for Sale

Land held for sale is reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. The Company records land held for sale as nonrecurring level 3.


Impaired

Collateral Dependent Loans

Loans that are considered impaired are recorded

The Company does not record loans held for investment at fair value on a nonrecurringrecurring basis. Once a loanHowever, from time to time, the Company designates individually evaluated loans with higher risk as collateral dependent loans and an allowance for credit losses is considered impaired,established as necessary. Collateral dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for determining the allowance for credit losses. Under CECL, for collateral dependent loans, the Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of collateral. The allowance for credit losses is measuredcalculated on an individual loan basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is adjusted for estimated costs to sell, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required.

Fair value is estimated using one of several methods, includingthe following methods: fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, discounted cash flows, or market value of the loan based on similar debt. The fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell is the most frequently used method. Typically, the Company reviews the most recent appraisal and if it is over 24 months old will request a new third party appraisal. Depending on the particular circumstances surrounding the loan, including the location of the collateral, the date of the most recent appraisal and the value of the collateral relative to the recorded investment in the loan, management may order an independent appraisal immediately or, in some instances, may elect to perform an internal analysis. Specifically, as an example, in situations where the collateral on a nonperforming commercial real estate loan is out of the Company’s primary market area, management would typically order an independent appraisal immediately, at the earlier of the date the loan becomes nonperforming or immediately following the determination that the loan is collateral dependent. However, as a second example, on a nonperforming commercial real estate loan where management is familiar with the property and surrounding areas and where the original appraisal value far exceeds the recorded investment in the loan, management may perform an internal analysis whereby the previous appraisal value would be reviewed and adjusted for current conditions including recent sales of similar properties in the area and any other relevant economic trends. These valuations are reviewed at a minimum on a quarterly basis.

Those impairedcollateral dependent loans not requiring a specific charge against thean allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral meet or exceed the recorded investmentinvestments in the loan. Loans which are deemed to be impaired are primarily valuedsuch loans. At June 30, 2023, all collateral dependent loans were evaluated based on a nonrecurring basis at the fair value of the underlying real estate collateral. SuchLoans where an allowance is established based on the fair values are obtained using independent appraisals, whichvalue of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. The Company considers to berecords collateral dependent loans as nonrecurring Level 3 inputs.


3.

Other Real Estate Owned

Fair value adjustments to OREO are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan or the fair value of the collateral less selling costs. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loancredit losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations such that the real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Foreclosed assets are recorded as nonrecurring Level 3.

For assets and liabilities not presented on the balance sheet at fair value, the following methods are used to determine fair value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value. All mature within 90 days and do not present unanticipated credit concerns.

Certificates of Deposit with Other Banks—Fair value is based on market prices for similar assets.

Investment Securities HTM—Investment securities held to maturity are valued at quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

Loans Receivable, Net—The fair value of loans is estimated using an exit price notion. The exit price notion uses a discounted cash flows technique to calculate the present value of expected future cash flows for a financial instrument and also incorporates other factors, such as enhanced credit risk, illiquidity risk and market factors that sometimes exist in exit prices in dislocated markets. The credit risk assumption is intended to approximate the fair value that a market participant would realize in a hypothetical orderly transaction.

30

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s loan portfolio is initially fair valued using a segmented approach. The Company divides its loan portfolio into the following categories: construction, residential mortgage, commercial real estate, other commercial, residential real estate,HELOCs and other consumer and all other loans. The results are then adjusted to account for credit risk as described above.

A further credit risk discount must be applied through the use of a discounted cash flow model to compensate for illiquidity risk, based on certain assumptions included within the discounted cash flow model, primarily the use of discount rates that better capture inherent credit risk over the lifetime of a loan. This consideration of enhanced credit risk provides an estimated exit price for the Company’s loan portfolio. For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values approximate carrying values.

FHLB Stock—The fair value approximates the carrying value.

Deposits—The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

FHLB Advances and Borrowings from the FRB—Fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows with current market rates for borrowings with similar terms. The Company had no outstanding FHLB advances or FRB borrowings as of June 30, 20222023 or December 31, 2021.

2022.

Other Borrowed Money—The carrying value of these short term borrowings approximates fair value.

Subordinated Debentures—The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar debenture offerings with similar terms and maturities would be issued by similar institutions. As discount rates are based on current debenture rates as well as management estimates, the fair values presented may not be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale.

Junior Subordinated Debentures—The carrying value of junior subordinated debentures approximates fair value.

At June 30, 2022,2023, the BankCompany had $170.0$176.1 million in off-balanceoff-balance sheet financial commitments.  These commitments are to originate loans and unused consumer lines of credit and credit card lines.  Because these obligations are based on current market rates, if funded, the original principalprincipal amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. Fair value estimates are made on a specific date, based on relevant market data and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale the Bank’sCompany’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.

Because no active market exists for a significant portion of the Bank’sCompany’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, current interest rates and prepayment trends, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in any of these assumptions used in calculating fair value would also significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.  For example, the BankCompany has significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities including deposit franchise values, loan servicing portfolios, deferred tax liabilities, and premises and equipment.

In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates. The Company has used management’s best estimate of fair value on the above assumptions.  Thus, the fair values presented may not be the amounts which could be realized in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument.  In addition, any income taxes or other expenses that would be incurred in an actual sale or settlement are not taken into consideration in the fair value presented.

NOTE 14 - ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING CHANGES


The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that could affect accounting, reporting, and disclosure of financial information by the Company:

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance to change the accounting for credit losses and modify the impairment model for certain debt securities. The guidance significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model, which is commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss methodology. The amendments will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of identifying required changes to the loan loss estimation models and processes and evaluating the impact of this new guidance. Until our evaluation is complete the impact of the change will be unknown.
In April 2019, the FASB issued guidance to provide entities that have certain financial instruments measured at amortized cost that have credit losses, to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, upon adoption of the June 2016 guidance related to accounting for credit losses and modifying the impairment model for certain debt securities. The fair value option applies to available-for-sale debt securities. This guidance should be applied at adoption on a modified-retrospective basis as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the statement of financial condition. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance that applies to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or other rate references expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The guidance permits an entity to make necessary modifications to eligible contracts or transactions without requiring contract remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. In January 2021, updated guidance was issued to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. Amendments in this guidance to the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. The amendments in this guidance have differing effective dates, beginning with an interim period including and subsequent to March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022 the FASB issued guidance for loans modified as a TDR by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, the ASU requires public business entities to disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, upon the Company’s adoption of the June 2016 guidance related to the current expected credit loss methodology. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting authorities are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 15 - NON-INTEREST INCOME

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with Topic ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), revenues are recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company only applies the five-stepfive-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services that are promised within each contract and identifies those that contain performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Service Fees on Deposit Accounts

The BankCompany earns fees from its deposit customers for account maintenance, transaction-based and overdraft services.  Account maintenance fees consist primarily of account fees and analyzed account fees charged on deposit accounts on a monthly basis.  The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are recognized on a monthly basis as the service period is completed. Transaction-based fees on deposits accounts are charged to deposit customers for specific services provided to the customer, such as non-sufficient funds fees, overdraft fees, and wire fees. The performance obligation is completed as the transaction occurs and the fees are recognized at the time each specific service is provided to the customer.

ATM and Check Card Fee Income

Check card fee income represents fees earned when a debit card issued by the BankCompany is used.  The BankCompany earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions through the Mastercard payment network.  Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the card.  Certain expenses directly associated with the debit card are recorded on a net basis with the fee income.


Trust Income

Trust income includes monthly advisory fees that are based on assets under management and certain transaction fees that are assessed and earned monthly, concurrently with the investment management services provided to the customer. The BankCompany does not charge performance based fees for its trust services and does not currently have any institutional clients, hedge funds or mutual funds. Although trust income is included within the scope of ASC 606, based on the fees charged by the Bank,Company, there were no changes in the accounting for trust income.  


Gains/Losses on OREO Sales

Gains/losses on the sale of OREO are included in non-interest expense and are generally recognized when the performance obligation is complete. This is typically atthe delivery of control over the property to the buyer at the time of each real estate closing.

The following table presents the Company's non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.periods indicated. All of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized in non-interest income, with the exception of gains on the sale of OREO, which are included in non-interest expense when applicable.

Other assets increased $11.4 million or 217.1% to $16.6 million at June 30, 2022 from $5.2 million at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily the result of a $7.2 million increase in net deferred taxes, which was related to increased unrealized losses in the investment portfolio at June 30, 2022.

Liabilities


Deposit Accounts


Total deposits increased $33.7$69.4 million or 3.0%6.3% to $1.15$1.18 billion at June 30, 20222023 from $1.12 billion at December 31, 2021.

The majority of the Bank’s deposits are originated within the Bank’s immediate market area. The CompanyBank had $10.0$12.5 million and $6.0 million in brokered time deposits at both June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.2022, respectively. The Bank uses brokered time deposits to manage interest rate risk because they are accessible in bulk at rates typically only slightly higher than those in our market areas. A portion of these brokered time deposits give the Bank a call option that allows the Bank the choice to redeem them early should rates change. In addition, the Bank had $5.0 million in other brokered deposits at both June 30, 2022.2023 and December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2023, the Bank had one deposit relationship totaling approximately 5.2% of outstanding deposits. At December 31, 2022, the Bank had no deposit relationships greater than 5% of outstanding deposits. At June 30, 2023, approximately $326.6 million of our $1.18 billion deposit portfolio was uninsured. The uninsured amounts are estimates based on the methodologies and assumptions used for the Bank’s regulatory reporting requirements.

The Bank also had $17.9 million in other borrowings at June 30, 2023, compared to $27.6 million and December 31, 2022, which consisted of short-term repurchase agreements with certain commercial demand deposit customers for sweep accounts.

.
On May 24, 2022, Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the U.S. Department of Treasury under the Emergency Capital Investment Program (“ECIP”).

Provision for LoanCredit Losses

The amount of the provision is determined by management’s on-going monthly analysis of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.credit losses for loans and unfunded commitments is determined by management’s on-going monthly analysis. The Company has policies and procedures in place for evaluating and monitoring the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio and for timely identification of potential problem loans including internal and external loan reviews. The adequacy of the allowance for loancredit losses is reviewed monthly by the Asset Classification Committee and quarterly by the Board of Directors. Management’s review of the adequacy of the allowance includes three main components.

The first component is an analysis of loss potential in various homogeneous segments of the loan portfolio based on historical trends and the risk inherent in each loan category. Currently, management appliesThe Company calculates the allowance for credit losses for each loan pool using a ten yearremaining life loss methodology with a two quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period and an immediate reversion period. Management believes that the Company’s historical loss ratioexperience provides the best basis for its assessment of expected credit losses to eachdetermine the allowance for credit losses on loans. The Company uses its own internal data to measure historical credit loss experience within the loan category to estimatepools with similar risk characteristics over an economic cycle. The Company then forecasts the inherentcalculated historical loss in these pooled loans.

rates over the calculated remaining life of loans by pool. The second component of management’s monthly analysis is the specific review and evaluation of significant problem creditsindividually evaluated collateral dependent loans identified through the Company’s internal monitoring system. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for impairment and recorded in accordance with accounting guidance. For each loan deemed impaired, management calculates a specific reservedetermining the allowance for credit losses. Under CECL, for collateral dependent loans, the amount in whichCompany has adopted the recorded investment inpractical expedient to measure the loan exceedsallowance for credit losses based on the fair value. This estimatevalue of collateral. The allowance for credit losses on loans is calculated on an individual loan basis based on a thorough analysisthe shortfall between the fair value of the most probable source of repayment,loan's collateral, which is typicallyadjusted for liquidation costs/discounts, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral underlyingexceeds the loan.

amortized cost, no allowance is required. The third component is an analysis of changes in qualitative factors that may affect the portfolio, including but not limited to: relevant economic trends that could impact borrowers’ ability to repay, industry trends, changes in the volume and composition of the portfolio, credit concentrations, or lending policies and the experience and ability of the staff and Board of Directors.

Management also reviews and incorporates certain ratios such as percentage of classified loans, average historical loancredit losses by loan category, delinquency percentages, and the assignment of percentage targets of reserves in each loan category when evaluating the allowance. Once the analysis is completed, the three components are combined and compared to the allowance amount. Based on this, charges are made to the provision as needed. Because the SBA guarantees 100%

In addition, management performs a quarterly analysis of the PPP loans madeCompany's investment securities classified as available for sale and held to eligible borrowers, these loans domaturity. 

Management measures expected credit losses on held to maturity debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. Accrued interest receivable on held to maturity debt securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

The estimate of expected credit losses on held to maturity debt securities is primarily based on the ratings assigned to the securities by debt rating agencies and the average of the annual historical loss rates associated with those ratings. The Company then multiplies those loss rates, as adjusted for any modifications to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts as considered necessary, by the remaining lives of each individual security to arrive at a lifetime expected loss amount. Additionally, private label collateralized mortgage obligation ("CMO") securities which are not explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government are evaluated utilizing underlying pool data such as historical loss rates, loan-to-value ratios and credit enhancement data. 

All mortgage-backed held to maturity securities issued by government-sponsored corporations are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a correspondinglong history of no credit losses. The state and local governments securities held by the Company are highly rated by major rating agencies.

For available for sale securities, management evaluates all investments in an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis. If the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security, the security is written down to fair value and the entire loss is recorded in earnings.

If either of the above criteria are not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value is the result of credit losses or other factors. In making the assessment, the Company may consider various factors including the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, performance on any underlying collateral, downgrades in the ratings of the security by a rating agency, the failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments and adverse conditions specifically related to the security. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security and any excess is recorded as an allowance for credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any amount of unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Based on the foregoing, the Company recorded a $221,000 provision for credit losses under the CECL methodology during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to no provision for loan loss.

There was no provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to a negative provision of $735,000 for the second quarter of 2021. The reversal of loan loss provisions during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was the result of a reduction in historical loss and qualitative adjustment factors related to improvement in the economic and business conditions at both the national and regional levels as of June 30, 2021. Non-performing assets improved to $2.6 million at June 30, 2022 from $2.8 million at December 31, 2021. Non-performing assets represented 0.2% of total assets at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Our strategy is to work with our borrowers to reach acceptable payment plans while protecting our interests in the existing collateral. In the event an acceptable arrangement cannot be reached, we may need to acquire these properties through foreclosure or other means and subsequently sell, develop or liquidate them. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on its best estimates“Note 8 - Loans Receivable" of the probable losses inherentNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the loan portfolio, although there can be no guarantee these estimates will not be proven incorrect in the future. In addition, bank regulatory agencies may require additional provisions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments and estimates as partPart I. Item 1 of their examination process.  Because the allowance for loan losses is an estimate, there is no guarantee that actual loan losses will not exceed the allowance for loan losses, or that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be required in the future. A decline in national and local economic conditions, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors, could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company recorded a $221,000 provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the same period last year.


Provision for Loan Losses
There was2023 and no provision for loancredit losses recorded duringof the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a reversal2022. The Company adopted the CECL methodology effective January 1, 2023. The transition adjustment of provision expensethe adoption of $1.6 million for the same period in 2021. The negative provision during 2021 resulted from a reduction in qualitative adjustment factors due to the improvement in the economic and business conditions at both the national and regional levels as of June 30, 2021. For additional details related to the provision for loan losses and changesCECL included an increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans of $784,000, which is presented as a reduction to net loans outstanding, and an increase in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $1.2 million, which is recorded within "Other Liabilities." The adoption of CECL had an insignificant impact on the Company's HTM and AFS securities portfolios. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under the CECL methodology while prior period amounts continue to be reported under the Incurred Loss methodology.

The amount of the provision is determined by management’s on-going monthly analysis of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The Company has policies and procedures in place for evaluating and monitoring the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $5.5 millionoverall credit quality of the loan portfolio and for timely identification of potential problem loans including internal and external loan reviews.

SECURITY FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


The first component is an analysis of loss potential in various homogeneous segments of the loan portfolio based on historical trends and the risk inherent in each loan category. The Company calculates the allowance for credit losses for each pool using a remaining life loss methodology with a two quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period and an immediate reversion period. Management believes that the Company’s historical loss experience provides the best basis for its assessment of expected credit losses to determine the allowance for credit losses. The Company uses its own internal data to measure historical credit loss experience within the pools with similar risk characteristics over an economic cycle. The Company then forecasts the calculated historical loss rates over the calculated remaining life of loans by pool. The second component of management’s monthly analysis is the specific review and evaluation of significant individually evaluated collateral dependent loans identified through the Company’s internal monitoring system. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for determining the allowance for credit losses. Under CECL, for collateral dependent loans, the Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of collateral. The allowance for credit losses is calculated on an individual loan basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is adjusted for liquidation costs/discounts, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required. The third component is an analysis of changes in qualitative factors that may affect the portfolio, including but not limited to: relevant economic trends that could impact borrowers’ ability to repay, industry trends, changes in the volume and composition of the portfolio, credit concentrations, or lending policies and the experience and ability of the staff and Board of Directors.

Management also reviews and incorporates certain ratios such as percentage of classified loans, average historical credit losses by loan category, delinquency percentages, and the assignment of percentage targets of reserves in each loan category when evaluating the allowance. Once the analysis is completed, the three components are combined and compared to the allowance amount. Based on this, charges are made to the provision as needed.

Based on the foregoing, the Company recorded $221,000 and $0 in provisions for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For additional details of the changes in the allowance for credit losses, see “Note 8 - Loans Receivable" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this report.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income decreased $789,000 or 15.1% to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily attributabledue to a $830,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans whichreflecting the decline in originations of loans held for sale following recent market interest rate increases. In addition, there was no grant income recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $171,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These decreases were partially offset by increases in every non-interesttrust income line item with the exception of BOLIand ATM and check card fee income. ATM and check card fee income which decreased $24,000increased $130,000 or 9.2% to $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Gain on sale2023 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, due to a new interchange service provider that pays the Bank more fees per transaction.

Liquidity Commitments, Capital Resources, and Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The Company

We actively analyzesanalyze and manages the Bank’smanage liquidity with the objective of maintaining an adequate level of liquidity and to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to support loan growth, fund deposit withdrawals, fund operations, and satisfy other financial commitments. See the “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” contained in Item 1 – Financial Statements, herein.

The Bank's primary sources of funds include deposits, scheduled loan and investment securities repayments, including interest payments, maturities and sales of loans and investment securities, advances from the FHLB,FRB, and cash flow generated from operations.  The sources of funds, together with retained earnings and equity, are used to make loans, acquire investment securities and other assets, and fund continuing operations. While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage repayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Management believes that the Company’s current liquidity position and its forecasted operating results are sufficient to fund all of its existing commitments. The Bank had $157.0$176.1 million in unused commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit at June 30, 20222023.

At June 30, 2022, the Bank had no outstanding borrowings$149.7 million at the FRB.that date. The Bank also had a $5.0$50.0 million unused Fed Funds facility with Pacific Coast Bankers Bank at June 30, 2022.2023. Subject to market conditions, we expect to utilize these borrowing facilities from time to time in the future to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments, repay maturing debt and to take advantage of investment opportunities to the extent feasible. As discussed above, on May 24, 2022,

Our current quarterly common stock dividend rate is $0.12$0.13 per share as approved by our Board of Directors, which we believe is a dividend rate per share which enables us to balance our multiple objectives of managing and investing in the Bank, and returning a substantial portion of our cash to our shareholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk


Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company’s market risk arises principally from interest rate risk inherent in its lending, investment, deposit and borrowing activities. Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. Although the Company manages other risks such as credit quality and liquidity risk in the normal course of business, management considers interest rate risk to be its most significant market risk that could potentially have the largest material effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Other types of market risks such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities.


The Company’sprofitability is affected by fluctuations in the market interest rate. Management’s goal is to maintain a reasonable balance between exposure to interest rate fluctuations and earnings. A sudden and substantial increase or decrease in interest rates may adversely impact the Company’s earnings to the extent that the interest rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities do not change at the same rate, to the same extent or on the same basis. The Company monitors the impact of changes in interest rates on its net interest income using a test that measures the impact on net interest income and net portfolio value of an immediate change in interest rates in 100 basis point increments. Net portfolio value is defined as the net present value of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts. There were no material changes in information concerning market risk from the information provided in the Company’s 20212022 Form 10-K.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, the Bank's interest rate spread, defined as the average yield on interest bearinginterest-earning assets less the average rate paid on interest bearinginterest-bearing liabilities, was 2.55%2.38%.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company’s senior management as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that at June 30, 2022 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

(b)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting: There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect our internal controls over financial reporting

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and or fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
