NOTE W - COVID-19 UPDATE

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have significant effects on global markets, supply chains, businesses and communities.  COVID-19 could potentially impact the Company’s future financial condition and results of operations including but not limited to additional credit loss reserves, additional collateral and/or modifications to debt obligations, liquidity, limited dividend payouts or

potential shortages of personnel.  Management continues to take appropriate actions to mitigate the negative impact the virus has on the Company, including restricting employee travel, directing employees to work remotely, cancelling in-person meetings and implementing our business continuity plans and protocols to the extent necessary.

The pandemic is having an adverse impact on certain industries the Company serves, including hotels, restaurants, retail, and direct energy.  As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s aggregate outstanding exposure in these segments was $436.9 million, and total loan modifications resulting from COVID-19 were approximately $82.0 million.  While it is still not yet possible to know the full effect that the pandemic will have on the economy, or to what extent this crisis will impact the Company, all available current industry statistics and internal monitoring of loan repayment ability and payment forgiveness across the portfolio has been analyzed in an attempt to understand the correlation with asset quality and degree of possible deterioration.  

Despite recent improvements in certain economic indicators, significant constraints to commerce remain in place, and significant uncertainty remains over the timing of an effective and widely available coronavirus vaccine, the timing and scope of additional government stimulus packages, and the economic impact resulting from the outcome of the November 2020 elections. The duration and extent of the downturn and speed of the related recovery on our business, customers, and the economy as a whole remains uncertain.  It is unknown how long the adverse conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the Company.  It is reasonably possible that estimates made in the financial statements could be materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including the determination of the allowance for loan losses, fair value of financial instruments, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets and income taxes.
