In the course of conducting our business operations, we are exposed to a variety of risks. Some of these risks are inherent in the financial services industry and others are more specific to our own business. Together with the other information on the risks we face and our management of risk contained in this Annual Report, the following presents the  most significant risks of which we are currently aware that may affect us. Events or circumstances arising from one or more of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects and the value and price of our common stock could decline. The risks identified below are not intended to be a comprehensive list of all risks we face, and additional risks that we may currently view as not material may also impair our business operations, financial condition and operating results. 

Credit Risks 

Our allowance for credit losses may not be sufficient to cover actual losses. 

A significant source of risk arises from the possibility that we could sustain losses because borrowers, guarantors, and related parties may fail to perform in accordance with the terms of their loans and leases. The underwriting and credit monitoring policies and procedures that we have adopted to address this risk may not prevent unexpected losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide for loan and lease defaults and non-performance, which also includes increases for new loan growth. While we believe that our allowance for credit losses is appropriate to cover currently expected losses, we cannot assure you that we will not increase the allowance for credit losses in the future or that our regulators or outside auditors will not require us to increase this allowance. 

We may be required to make additional provisions for credit losses and charge-off additional loans in the future, which could adversely affect our results of operations. 

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a $3.0 million recapture of provision for credit losses. During 2024, we experienced charge-offs of $4.4 million and recoveries of $0.7 million, resulting in net charge-offs of $3.7 million.  We have a significant amount of real estate loans, therefore, decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral for our loans. As of December 31, 2024, we had $6.51 billion in commercial real estate loans, $269.2 million in single-family residential mortgages, and $16.1 million in construction loans. Low interest rates
