Note 8 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Federal Home Loan Bank Secured Line of Credit

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank’s available line of credit with the FHLB to borrow in overnight funds was $3.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively. All borrowings are short-term and the interest rate is equal to the correspondent bank’s daily federal funds purchase rate. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no amounts were outstanding under the line of credit. Loans totaling $5.2 million and $5.4 million were pledged to secure the FHLB line of credit as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Line of Credit

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had the ability to access $9.6 million and $10.9 million from the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window on a collateralized basis. Through Zions Bank, the Bank had an available unsecured line available of $1.0 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Bank had an available line of credit with Bankers’ Bank of the West to borrow up to $1.05 million in overnight funds at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We had no outstanding balances on such unsecured or secured lines of credit as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility

On April 20, 2020, the Bank was approved by the Federal Reserve to access its SBA Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”) through the discount window. The PPPLF enables the Company to fund PPP loans without taking on additional liquidity or funding risks because the Company is able to pledge PPP loans as collateral to secure extensions of credit under the PPPLF on a non-recourse basis. Borrowings under the PPPLF have a fixed-rate of 0.35%, with a term that matches the underlying loans. The Bank pledged $1.0 million of PPP loans as eligible collateral under the PPPLF borrowing arrangement at December 31, 2021. The Bank pledged $1.0 million of PPP loans as eligible collateral under the PPPLF borrowing arrangement at March 31, 2022. The average outstanding borrowings were $87.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Commitments to Extend Credit

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to extend credit to customers which have not yet been exercised. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of loans. Those instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk were as follows:

	March 31,		December 31,
