Risk Change Over Time
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1We are subject to an extensive body of accounting rules, standards and reporting requirements. Periodic changes to such rules, standards or reporting requirements may change the treatment and recognition of critical financial line items and affect our profitability.
Our business operations are significantly influenced by the extensive body of accounting regulations in the United States, which are subject to periodic updates and changes. Regulatory bodies, including the FASB and the SEC, periodically issue new guidance or alter existing accounting rules and reporting requirements, which can substantially impact the preparation and reporting of our financial statements. These changes may require us to adopt new accounting standards, leading to potential adjustments in how we report our financial position, performance, and risk exposures. Additionally, such regulatory changes could necessitate retrospective application, which might result in the restatement of prior period financial statements. One such significant change in fiscal 2024 was the implementation of the CECL model, which we adopted on July 1, 2023. Under the CECL model, financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans held for investment and held-to-maturity debt securities, are presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Because CECL requires estimates of lifetime expected credit losses based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, changes in economic conditions, borrower performance, collateral values, or other assumptions may require significant changes to our allowance for credit losses and could increase earnings volatility. In addition, future changes in accounting standards or regulatory interpretations could require us to modify our methodologies or financial reporting, which could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.
- Debt & Financing - Risk 2We may from time to time purchase loans in bulk or "pools." We may experience lower yields or losses on loan "pools" because the assumptions we use when purchasing loans in bulk may not prove correct.
In order to achieve our loan growth objectives and/or improve earnings, we may purchase loans, either individually, through participations, or in bulk. When we determine the purchase price we are willing to pay to purchase loans in bulk, management makes certain assumptions about, among other things, how fast borrowers will prepay their loans, the real estate market, our ability to collect on loans successfully and, if necessary, our ability to dispose of any real estate that may be acquired through foreclosure. In addition, when we purchase loans, we perform certain due diligence procedures and typically require customary limited indemnities. To the extent that our underlying assumptions prove to be inaccurate or the basis for those assumptions change, the purchase price paid for "pools" of loans may prove to have been excessive, resulting in a lower yield or a loss of some or all of the loan principal. For example, if we purchase pools of loans at a premium and some of the loans are prepaid before we modeled prepayment, we will earn less interest income on the purchase than expected. Our success in growing our loan portfolio through purchases of loan "pools" depends on our ability to price loan "pools" properly and on the general economic conditions within the geographic areas where the underlying properties of the purchased loans are located. Acquiring loans through bulk purchases may involve acquiring loans of a type or in geographic areas where management may not have substantial prior experience. We may be exposed to a greater risk of loss to the extent that bulk purchases contain such loans. We did not purchase any loans in fiscal year 2026 and 2025, but we may do so in the future.

- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1ChangedWe are subject to an extensive body of accounting rules, standards and reporting requirements.

In addition, future changes in accounting standards or regulatory interpretations could require us to modify our methodologies or financial reporting, which could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 2Non-performing assets take significant time to resolve and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and could result in further losses in the future.
Non-performing assets, consisting of non-performing loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure, adversely affect our earnings in various ways. We reverse accrued interest on non-performing loans and do not record interest income on foreclosed assets. Additionally, non-performing assets increase our loan administration costs, as well as costs related to the improvement, maintenance and repairs of foreclosed assets. Upon foreclosure or similar proceedings, we record the repossessed asset at the estimated fair value, less costs to sell, which may result in a write-down or loss. A significant increase in the level of non-performing assets from current levels would also increase our risk profile and may impact the capital levels our regulators believe are appropriate in light of the increased risk profile. While we attempt to reduce problem assets through various means such as collection efforts, asset sales, workouts and modifications, a decline in the value of the underlying collateral or in the borrower's performance or financial condition could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the resolution of non-performing assets often requires a significant time commitment from management, diverting their attention from other aspects of our operations.
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 3We rely on dividends from the Bank for substantially all of our revenue at the holding company level.
We are an entity separate and distinct from our principal subsidiary, the Bank, and derive substantially all of our revenue at the holding company level in the form of dividends from that subsidiary. Accordingly, we are, and will continue to be, dependent upon dividends from the Bank to pay the principal of and interest on our indebtedness, to satisfy our other cash needs, to pay for share buybacks and to pay dividends on our common stock. The Bank's ability to pay dividends is subject to its ability to earn net income and to meet certain regulatory requirements. In the event the Bank is unable to pay dividends to us, we may not be able to pay dividends on our common stock or conduct share buybacks. Also, our right to participate in a distribution of assets upon a subsidiary's liquidation or reorganization is subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary's creditors. In fiscal year 2026 and 2025, the Bank paid cash dividends to its holding company totaling $10.5 million and $9.0 million, respectively.
