Risk Change Over Time
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Our stock price has been and will likely continue to be volatile.
As a result of recent events, our stock price has declined significantly since reporting our financial results for the period ended June 30, 2026, and has exhibited substantial volatility. Recent developments notwithstanding, our stock price may fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, such as quarterly operating results; the public's reaction to our press releases, other public announcements and filings with the SEC; significant transactions, or new features, products or services provided by us or our competitors; changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts; media coverage of our business and financial performance; the operating and stock price performance of, or other developments involving, other companies that investors may deem comparable to us; trends in our industry; any significant change in our management; and general economic conditions. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market prices for companies in our industry, has experienced volatility that often has been unrelated to operating performance. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our stock, regardless of our operating performance. Price volatility in our stock price impacts the value of our equity compensation, which affects our ability to recruit and retain employees. In addition, some companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation and/or regulatory investigations. Securities litigation and regulatory investigations against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention from other business concerns, which could harm our business. If we fail to meet expectations related to future growth, profitability or other market expectations, our stock price may decline significantly, which could have a material adverse impact on investor confidence and employee retention. A sustained decline in our stock price and market capitalization could lead to impairment charges.

- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2We could recognize losses on investment securities held in our securities portfolio, particularly if interest rates increase or economic and market conditions deteriorate.
While we attempt to invest a significant majority of our total assets in loans (our loan-to-asset ratio was 80.6% as of December 31, 2025), we invest a percentage of our total assets (1.0% as of December 31, 2025) in investment securities with the primary objectives of providing a source of liquidity and meeting pledging requirements. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of our available for sale investment securities portfolio was $29,000, which included a net unrealized loss of $1,000, and the fair value of our held to maturity investment securities was $48.7 million, which included a net unrealized loss of $496,000. Factors beyond our control can significantly and adversely influence the fair value of securities in our portfolio. For example, fixed-rate securities are generally subject to decreases in market value when interest rates rise. Additional factors include, but are not limited to, rating agency downgrades of the securities, defaults by the issuer or individual borrowers with respect to the underlying securities, and instability in the credit markets. Any of the foregoing factors could cause impairment in future periods and result in realized losses. The process for determining whether impairment exists usually requires difficult, subjective judgments about the future financial performance of the issuer and any collateral underlying the security in order to assess the probability of receiving all contractual principal and interest payments on the security. Although we have not recognized an impairment related to our investment portfolio as of December 31, 2025, changing economic and market conditions affecting interest rates, the financial condition of issuers of the securities and the performance of the underlying collateral, among other factors, may cause us to recognize losses in future periods, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Anti-takeover provisions in our corporate organizational documents and provisions of federal and state law may make an attempted acquisition or replacement of our board of directors or management more difficult.
Our second amended and restated articles of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, ("bylaws"), may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, discourage or prevent an attempted acquisition or change of control or a replacement of our incumbent board of directors or management. Our governing documents include provisions that: - empower our board of directors, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock, the terms of which, including voting power, are to be set by our board of directors;- establish a classified board of directors, with directors of each class serving a three-year term;- provide that directors may be removed from office without cause only by vote of 80% of the outstanding shares then entitled to vote;- eliminate cumulative voting in elections of directors;- permit our board of directors to alter, amend or repeal our bylaws or to adopt new bylaws;- require the request of holders of at least one-third of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote at a meeting to call a special shareholders' meeting;- require shareholders that wish to bring business before annual meetings of shareholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of shareholders, to provide timely notice of their intent in writing;- require that certain business combination transactions with a significant shareholder be approved by holders of two-thirds of the shares held by persons other than the significant shareholder; and - enable our board of directors to increase, between annual meetings, the number of persons serving as directors and to fill the vacancies created as a result of the increase by a majority vote of the directors present at a meeting of directors. In addition, certain provisions of Washington law, including a provision which restricts certain business combinations between a Washington corporation and certain affiliated shareholders, may delay, discourage or prevent an attempted acquisition or change in control. Furthermore, banking laws impose notice, approval, and ongoing regulatory requirements on any shareholder or other party that seeks to acquire direct or indirect "control" of an FDIC-insured depository institution or its holding company. These laws include the BHC Act, the Change in Bank Control Act, and comparable banking laws in the State of Washington. These laws could delay or prevent an acquisition.
