2023.Federal Home Loan Bank StockThe Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines ("FHLB"), and as such, is required to own a certain amount of FHLB stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors. FHLB stock is carried at cost and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Cash dividends accrued on FHLB stock are recorded as a component of interest income.LHFSLoans originated for sale in the secondary market or designated for whole loan sales are classified as LHFS. Management has elected the fair value option for all single family LHFS (originated with the intent to market for sale) and records these loans at fair value. Gains and losses from changes in fair value on LHFS are recognized in net gain on mortgage loan origination and sale activities within noninterest income. Direct loan origination costs and fees for single family loans originated as held for sale are recognized as noninterest expenses.Multifamily and Small Business Administration ("SBA") LHFS are accounted for at the lower of amortized cost or fair value ("LOCOM"). LOCOM valuations are performed quarterly or at the time of transfer to or from LHFS. Related gains and losses are recognized in net gain on mortgage loan origination and sale activities. Direct loan origination costs and fees for multifamily and SBA loans classified as held for sale are deferred at origination and recognized in gain on sale in earnings at the time of sale.LHFILHFI are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of cumulative charge-offs, interest applied to principal (for loans accounted for using the cost recovery method), unamortized net deferred loan origination fees and costs and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. When a loan is designated as held for investment, the intent is to hold these loans for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off. If subsequent changes occur as part of the balance sheet management process, the Company may decide to sell loans classified as LHFI. Any such loans held for an extended period before they are sold are transferred to LHFS and carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Interest on loans is recognized at the contractual rate of interest and is only accrued if deemed collectible. Deferred fees and costs and premiums and discounts are amortized over the contractual terms of the underlying loans using the interest method or straight-line method.
