Overview
The following discussion and analysis presents the more significant factors that
affected our financial condition as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 and results of
operations for each of the years in the three-year period then ended. Refer to
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on
September 10, 2021 (the "2021 Form 10-K") for a discussion and analysis of the
more significant factors that affected periods prior to fiscal year 2021.
Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income
is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on
our loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the interest that we
pay on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates affect
our net interest income.
A secondary source of income is noninterest income, which includes revenue we
receive from providing products and services, including service charges and fees
on deposit accounts, loan income and fees, gains on the sale of loans held for
sale, BOLI income, and operating lease income.
28
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An offset to net interest income is the provision for credit losses which is
required to establish the ACL at a level that adequately provides for current
expected credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio, off balance sheet
commitments, and available for sale debt securities. See "Note 1 - Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Our noninterest expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits,
expenses for occupancy, marketing and computer services, and FDIC deposit
insurance premiums. Salaries and benefits consist primarily of the salaries and
wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for retirement, and other
employee benefits. Occupancy expenses, which are the fixed and variable costs of
buildings and equipment, consist primarily of lease payments, property taxes,
depreciation charges, maintenance, and costs of utilities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Certain of our accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex, or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances which include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy, and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. The following represents our critical accounting policy: Allowance for Credit Losses, or ACL, on Loans. The ACL reflects our estimate of credit losses that will result from the inability of our borrowers to make required loan payments. We charge off loans against the ACL and subsequent recoveries, if any, increase the ACL when they are recognized. We use a systematic methodology to determine our ACL for loans held for investment and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loan portfolio. We consider the effects of past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts on the collectability of the loan portfolio. The estimate of our ACL involves a high degree of judgment; therefore, our process for determining expected credit losses may result in a range of expected credit losses. Our ACL recorded on the balance sheet reflects our best estimate within the range of expected credit losses. We recognize in net income the amount needed to adjust the ACL for management's current estimate of expected credit losses. Our ACL is calculated using collectively evaluated and individually evaluated loans.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see "Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report on Form 10-K for further discussion.
Fiscal 2022 Items of Note
BeginningJuly 1, 2021 , the Bank brought its back-office SBA loan servicing process in-house to provide additional servicing fee and gain on sale income. In aggregate, our approach is designated to lead to increased profitability and franchise value over time. Fiscal 2021 Items of Note OnJuly 1, 2020 , we adopted the CECL accounting standard in accordance with ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The cumulative effect adjustment from this change in accounting policy resulted in an increase in our ACL for loans of$14.8 million , additional deferred tax assets of$3.9 million , additional reserve for unfunded loan commitments of$2.3 million , and a reduction to retained earnings of$13.4 million . In addition, an ACL for commercial paper was established for$250,000 with a deferred tax asset of$58,000 . The adoption of this ASU did not have an effect on available-for-sale debt securities for the year endedJune 30, 2021 . OnJune 15, 2021 , we announced a plan to close nine branches inNorth Carolina ,Tennessee , andVirginia . The branch closures were part of our ongoing strategic initiatives to respond to changing customer preferences and were expected to reduce operating expenses and provide additional company-wide efficiencies. The branch closure and restructuring expenses recognized for the year endedJune 30, 2021 included costs associated with impacted employees, impairment of an operating lease asset, the write-down of branch facilities, and other net costs. All applicable regulatory requirements were met and the branch closures occurred onSeptember 16, 2021 .
In the third and fourth quarters, the Company prepaid its remaining
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended
Net Income. Net income totaled$35.7 million , or$2.23 per diluted share, for the year endedJune 30, 2022 compared to$15.7 million , or$0.94 per diluted share, for the year endedJune 30, 2021 , an increase of$20.0 million , or 127.5%. The results for the year endedJune 30, 2022 compared to the year endedJune 30, 2021 were positively impacted by higher net interest income and no prepayment penalties on borrowings, partially offset by a lower benefit for credit losses. Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below. 29 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Interest Income. The following table presents the distribution of average assets, liabilities and equity, as well as interest income on average interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on average interest-bearing liabilities.

The decline in interest income on loans was partially driven by a decline in PPP interest and fee income of$754,000 year-over-year. Total interest expense for the year endedJune 30, 2022 decreased$10.1 million , or 65.3%, compared to the year endedJune 30, 2021 . The decrease was driven by a$6.0 million , or 98.7%, decrease in interest expense on borrowings and a$4.1 million , or 43.9%, decrease in interest expense on deposits compared to last year. The overall average cost of funds decreased 34 basis points compared to last year primarily due to the prepayment of long-term borrowings in the prior year and reduced market rates.
The following table shows the effects that changes in average balances (volume) and average interest rates (rate) had on the interest earned on our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities:

$ 7,416 $ (705) Provision (Benefit) for Credit Losses. The provision (benefit) for credit losses is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the ACL at an appropriate level under the CECL model. The determination of the ACL is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. Refer to "Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for detailed discussion regarding ACL methodologies for available for sale debt securities, loans held for investment and unfunded commitments.
The following table presents a breakdown of the components of the provision (benefit) for credit losses:

Total provision (benefit) for
credit losses $ (592) $ (7,135) $ 8,500 $ 6,543 (92) % $ (15,635) (184) %
For the year ended June 30, 2022 , the "loans" portion of the provision was
primarily the result of a slight improvement in the economic forecast, as more
clarity was gained regarding the impact of COVID-19 upon the loan portfolio. The
provision for off-balance sheet credit exposures increased $946,000 , or 2,703%,
primarily as the result of loan growth and changes in the loan mix and
qualitative adjustments.
For available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the
Company evaluates the securities to determine whether the decline in the fair
value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related
factors or noncredit-related factors. Any impairment that is not credit related
is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.
Credit-related impairment is recognized as an ACL on the balance sheet, limited
to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a
corresponding adjustment to earnings. At June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company
determined that noncredit-related factors were the cause those available for
sale securities
31
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in an unrealized loss position. Therefore, the Company carried no ACL at those
respective dates and there was no credit loss expense recognized by the Company
during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

•Loan income and fees: The increase in loan income and fees was primarily due to
approximately $1.3 million in SBA servicing income, the result of bringing the
servicing of these loans in-house effective July 1, 2021 as indicated in the
"Fiscal 2022 Items of Note" section above.
•Gain on sale of loans held for sale: The decrease in the gain on sale of loans
held for sale was primarily driven by decreases in the volume of residential
mortgage loans and SBA commercial loans sold during the period as a result of
rising interest rates. During the year ended June 30, 2022 , $263.0 million of
residential mortgage loans originated for sale were sold with gains of $6.4
million compared to $406.5 million sold with gains of $10.5 million in the prior
year. There were $54.7 million of sales of the guaranteed portion of SBA
commercial loans with recorded gains of $5.4 million in the current year
compared to $66.1 million sold with gains of $6.1 million in the prior year. The
Company sold $120.0 million of HELOCs during the current year for a gain of
$791,000 compared to $110.8 million sold and gains of $724,000 in the prior
year. Lastly, $11.5 million of indirect auto finance loans were sold out of the
held for investment portfolio during the current year for a gain of $205,000 . No
such sales occurred in the prior year.
•Operating lease income: The increase in operating lease income year-over-year
is a result of increases in lease originations and higher outstanding balances
in the current year.
•Gain on sale of debt securities available for sale: The increase in the gain
was driven by the sale of seven trust preferred securities during the quarter
ended June 30, 2022 which had previously been written down to zero through
purchase accounting adjustments from a merger in a prior period. No other
securities were sold during the periods presented.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- •Salaries and employee benefits: As indicated in the "Fiscal 2021 Items of Note" section above, the decrease in salaries and employee benefits was primarily the result of branch closures and lower mortgage banking incentive pay as a result of the reduction of the volume of originations.
•Marketing and advertising: The increase in marketing and advertising was primarily the result of less media advertising in the prior period during the pandemic.
•Branch closure and restructuring expenses: See explanation in the "Fiscal 2021 Items of Note" section above. No such expenses were incurred in the other two periods presented. •Officer transition agreement expense: InMay 2022 , the Company entered into an amended and restated employment and transition agreement with the Company's Chairman and CEO. As part of this agreement, the full amount of the estimated separation payment was accrued in 2022. No such expenses were incurred in the other two periods presented. •Prepayment penalties on borrowings: See explanation in the "Fiscal 2021 Items of Note" section above. No such expenses were incurred in the other two periods presented. Income Taxes. The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of pre-tax income, the amount of tax-exempt income, changes in the statutory rate and the effect of changes in valuation allowances maintained against deferred tax benefits. Income tax expense for the year endedJune 30, 2022 increased$6.3 million , or 184.3%, to$9.7 million from$3.4 million in the prior year as a result of higher taxable income. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 was 21.4% and 17.9%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in the current year compared to the prior year was driven by a comparable amount of tax-exempt income in each period, compared to a higher pre-tax book income in fiscal 2022. For more information on income taxes and deferred taxes, see "Note 11 - Income Taxes" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

The principal categories of our loan portfolio are discussed below.
Commercial Real Estate - Construction andLand Development . We originate residential construction and development loans for the construction of single-family residences, condominiums, townhouses, and residential developments. Our commercial construction development loans are for the development of business properties, including multi-family, retail, office/warehouse, and office buildings. Our land, lots, and development loans are predominately for the purchase or refinance of unimproved land held for future residential development, improved residential lots held for speculative investment purposes and for the future construction of one-to-four family (speculative and pre-sold) or commercial real estate.
Our expansion into larger metro markets combined with experienced commercial
real estate relationship managers, credit officers, and a construction risk
management group to better manage construction risk, has resulted in the
purposeful growth of this portfolio. Unfunded commitments at
Land acquisition and development loans are included in the construction and development loan portfolio and include completed residential lots where the borrower was not the developer, commercial improved and raw land for future development, and residential development loans. Residential development loans are made to developers for the purpose of acquiring raw land for the subsequent development and sale of residential lots. Such loans typically finance land purchase and infrastructure development of properties (i.e. roads, utilities, etc.) into residential lots for sale. The end buyer for the majority of these lots are local, regional, and national builders for the ultimate construction of residential units. The primary source of repayment is the sale of the lots or improved parcels of land, while personal guarantees may serve as secondary sources. These loans are generally secured by property in our primary market areas. In addition, these loans are secured by a first lien on the property, are generally limited to 65% of the lower of the acquisition price or the appraised value of the unimproved land and 75% of the improved land. Residential acquisition and development loans are generally paid out within three years unless there are multiple phases to the development. The Bank provides funding to a number of builders for the construction of both speculative and pre-sold 1-4 family homes. Speculative construction loans are made to home builders and are termed "speculative" because the home builder does not have, at the time of loan origination, a signed contract with a home buyer who has a commitment for permanent financing with either us or another lender for the finished home. Loans to finance the construction of speculative single-family homes are generally offered to experienced builders with a proven track record of performance. These loans require payment of interest-only during the construction phase. Unfunded commitments were$74.6 million atJune 30, 2022 and$70.1 million atJune 30, 2021 . Commercial vertical construction loans are offered on an adjustable or fixed interest rate basis. Adjustable interest rate loans typically include a floor and ceiling interest rate and are indexed toThe Wall Street Journal prime rate, plus or minus an interest rate margin. The initial construction period for owner occupied loans is generally limited to 12 to 24 months from the date of origination versus a construction and stabilization period for non-owner occupied loans of 24 to 36 months, both with amortization terms up to 25 years. Construction-to-permanent loans generally include a balloon maturity of five years or less; however, balloon maturities of greater than five years are allowed on a limited basis depending on factors such as property type, amortization term, lease terms, pricing, or the availability of credit enhancements. Construction loan proceeds are disbursed based on the percent completion of budget as documented by periodic third-party inspections. The maximum loan-to-value limit applicable to these loans is generally 80% of the appraised post-construction value. Commercial Real Estate Lending, including Multifamily. We originate commercial real estate loans, including loans secured by office buildings, retail/wholesale facilities, hotels, industrial facilities, medical and professional buildings, churches, and multifamily residential properties located primarily in our market areas. The average outstanding loan size in our commercial real estate portfolio was$796,000 as ofJune 30, 2022 . We offer both fixed- and adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans. Our commercial real estate mortgage loans generally include a balloon maturity of five years or less. Amortization terms are generally limited to 20 years. Adjustable rate-based loans typically include a floor and ceiling interest rate and are indexed toThe Wall Street Journal prime rate, the one-month LIBOR, or the one-month term SOFR, plus or minus an interest rate margin and rates generally adjust daily. The maximum loan-to-value ratio for commercial real estate loans is generally up to 80% on purchases and refinances. Commercial - Commercial and Industrial Loans. We typically offer commercial and industrial loans to businesses located in our primary market areas. These loans are primarily originated as conventional loans to business borrowers, which include lines of credit, term loans, and letters of credit. These loans are typically secured by collateral and are used for general business purposes, including working capital financing, equipment financing, capital investment, and general investments. Loan terms typically vary from one to five years. The interest rates on such loans are either fixed rate or adjustable rate indexed toThe Wall Street Journal prime rate plus a margin. We originate commercial business loans made under the SBA 7(a) and USDA B&I programs to small businesses located throughout the country. Loans made by the Bank under the SBA 7(a) and USDA B&I programs generally are made to small businesses to provide working capital needs, to refinance existing debt or to provide funding for the purchase of businesses, real estate, machinery, and equipment. These loans generally are secured by a combination of assets that may include receivables, inventory, furniture, fixtures, equipment, business real property, commercial real estate and sometimes additional collateral such as an assignment of life insurance and a lien on personal real estate owned by the guarantor(s). Typical maturities for this type of loan vary up to twenty-five years and can be thirty years in some circumstances. Under the SBA 7(a) andUSDA B&I loan program the loans carry a government guaranty up to 90% of the loan in some cases. SBA 7(a) and USDA B&I loans will normally be adjustable rate loans based uponThe Wall Street Journal prime lending rate. Under the loan programs, we will typically sell in the 35 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
secondary market the guaranteed portion of these loans to generate noninterest income and retain the related unguaranteed portion of these loans.
InMarch 2022 , the Company began purchasing commercial small business loans originated by a fintech partner. AtJune 30, 2022 , the outstanding balance of these loans totaled$17.5 million , or 0.6% of our loan portfolio. The credit risk characteristics of these loans are different from the remainder of the portfolio as they were not originated by the Company and the collateral may be located outside the Company's market area. The Company will continue to monitor the performance of these loans and adjust the allowance for credit losses as necessary. Commercial - Equipment Finance. Our Equipment Finance line of business offers companies that are purchasing equipment for their business various products to help manage tax and accounting issues, while offering flexible and customizable repayment terms. These products are primarily made up of commercial finance agreements and commercial loans for transportation, construction, healthcare, and manufacturing equipment. The loans have terms ranging from 24 to 84 months, with an average of five years and are secured by the financed equipment. Typical transaction sizes range from$25,000 to$1.0 million , with an average outstanding loan size of$130,000 . Commercial - Municipal Leases. We offer ground and equipment lease financing to fire departments located primarily throughoutNorth Carolina ,South Carolina and, to a lesser extent,Virginia . Municipal leases are secured primarily by a ground lease in our name with a sublease to the borrower for a fire station or an equipment lease for fire trucks and firefighting equipment. We originate and underwrite all leases prior to funding. These leases are at a fixed rate of interest and may have a term to maturity of up to 20 years. AtJune 30, 2022 ,$44.4 million , or 34.2%, of our municipal leases were secured by fire trucks,$48.8 million , or 37.6%, were secured by fire stations,$31.7 million , or 24.5%, were secured by both, with the remaining$4.9 million , or 3.7%, secured by miscellaneous firefighting equipment and land. AtJune 30, 2022 , the average outstanding municipal lease size was$423,000 .Residential Real Estate - Construction andLand Development . We are an active originator of construction-to-permanent loans to homeowners building a residence. In addition, we originate land/lot loans predominately for the purchase or refinance of an improved lot for the construction of a residence to be occupied by the borrower. All of our construction and land/lot loans were made on properties located within our market area. AtJune 30, 2022 , unfunded loan commitments totaled$94.9 million , compared to$75.7 million atJune 30, 2021 . Construction-to-permanent loans are made for the construction of a one-to-four family property which is intended to be occupied by the borrower as either a primary or secondary residence. Construction-to-permanent loans are originated to the homeowner rather than the homebuilder and are structured to be converted to a first lien fixed- or adjustable-rate permanent loan at the completion of the construction phase. During the construction phase, which typically lasts for six to 12 months, we make periodic inspections of the construction site and loan proceeds are disbursed directly to the contractors or borrowers as construction progresses. Typically, disbursements are made in monthly draws during the construction period. Loan proceeds are disbursed based on a percentage of completion. Construction-to-permanent loans require payment of interest only during the construction phase. Construction loans may be originated up to 95% of the cost or of the appraised value upon completion, whichever is less; however, we generally do not originate construction loans which exceed the lower of 80% loan to cost or appraised value without securing adequate private mortgage insurance or other form of credit enhancement such as theFederal Housing Administration or other governmental guarantee. Included in our construction and land/lot loan portfolio are land/lot loans, which are typically loans secured by developed lots in residential subdivisions located in our market areas. We originate these loans to individuals intending to construct their primary or secondary residence on the lot within one year from the date of origination. This portfolio may also include loans for the purchase or refinance of unimproved land that is generally less than or equal to five acres, and for which the purpose is to commence the improvement of the land and construction of an owner occupied primary or secondary residence within one year from the date of loan origination. Land/lot loans are typically originated in an amount up to 70% of the lower of the purchase price or appraisal, are secured by a first lien on the property, for up to a 20-year term, require payments of interest only and are structured with an adjustable rate of interest on terms similar to our one-to-four family residential mortgage loans.Residential Real Estate - One-to-Four Family. We originate loans secured by first mortgages on one-to-four family residences typically for the purchase or refinance of owner occupied primary or secondary residences located primarily in our market areas. We originate both fixed-rate loans and adjustable-rate loans; however, the majority of our one-to-four family residential loans are originated with fixed rates and have terms of 10 to 30 years. We generally originate fixed rate mortgage loans with terms greater than 10 years for sale to various secondary market investors on a servicing released basis. We also originate adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, loans which have interest rates that adjust annually to the yield onU.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant one-year maturity plus a margin. Most of our ARM loans are hybrid loans, which after an initial fixed rate period of one, five, seven, or 10 years will convert to an annual adjustable interest rate for the remaining term of the loan. Our ARM loans have terms up to 30 years.Residential Real Estate - Home Equity Lines of Credit. Our HELOCs consist primarily of adjustable-rate lines of credit. The lines of credit may be originated in amounts, together with the amount of the existing first mortgage, typically up to 85% of the value of the property securing the loan (less any prior mortgage loans) with an adjustable-rate of interest based onThe Wall Street Journal prime rate plus a margin. HELOCs generally have up to a 10-year draw period and amounts may be reborrowed after payment at 36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- any time during the draw period. Once the draw period has lapsed, the payment is amortized over a 15-year period based on the loan balance at that time. AtJune 30, 2022 , unfunded commitments on these lines of credit totaled$313.0 million . Consumer Lending. Our consumer loans consist of loans secured by deposit accounts or personal property such as automobiles, boats, and motorcycles, as well as unsecured consumer debt. This portfolio includes indirect auto finance installment contracts sourced through our relationships with automobile dealerships, both manufacturer franchised dealerships and independent dealerships, who utilize our origination platform to provide automotive financing through installment contracts on new and used vehicles. AtJune 30, 2022 , the outstanding balance of indirect auto finance loans was$79.1 million . The following table details the contractual maturity ranges of our loan portfolio without factoring in scheduled payments or potential prepayments. Loan balances do not include undisbursed loan proceeds, unearned discounts, unearned income and ACL. In addition, we have disclosed those loans with predetermined (fixed) and floating interest rates atJune 30, 2022 .

Nonperforming Assets. Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, TDRs that
haven't performed for a sufficient period of time, and REO. Loans are placed on
nonaccrual status when the collection of principal and/or interest becomes
doubtful or other factors involving the loan warrant placing the loan on
nonaccrual status. TDRs are loans which have renegotiated loan terms to assist
borrowers who are unable to meet the original terms of their loans. Such
modifications to loan terms may include a below market interest rate, a
reduction in principal balance, or a longer term to maturity. Once a nonaccruing
TDR has performed according to its modified terms for six months and the
collection of principal and interest under the revised terms is deemed probable,
the TDR is removed from nonaccrual status.

The significant decrease fromJune 30, 2021 was primarily a result of the payoff of two commercial real estate loan relationships totaling$5.1 million during the period. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.22% atJune 30, 2022 and 0.46% atJune 30, 2021 . Performing TDRs that were excluded from nonaccruing loans totaled$9.8 million and$11.1 million atJune 30, 2022 andJune 30, 2021 , respectively. Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans. The ACL is a valuation account that reflects our estimation of the credit losses that will result from the inability of our borrowers to make required loan payments. The allowance is maintained through provisions for credit losses that are charged to earnings in the period they are established. We charge losses on loans against the ACL when we believe the collection of loan principal is unlikely. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are added back to the allowance. See "Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for discussion of our ACL methodology on loans. 38

(1) At June 30, 2022 , $2.8 million of restructured loans were included in
nonaccruing loans and $3.8 million , or 62.5%, of nonaccruing loans were current
on their loan payments. At June 30, 2021 , $5.5 million of restructured loans
were included in nonaccruing loans and $6.6 million , or 52.6%, of nonaccruing
loans were current on their loan payments.
The ACL on loans decreased $778,000 , or 2.2%, between June 30, 2022 and 2021 and
there was a net benefit for credit losses on loans of $1.5 million for the year
ended June 30, 2022 , compared to a net benefit of $7.3 million for fiscal year
2021. The net benefit on loans for the year ended June 30, 2022 was primarily
the result of a slight improvement in the economic forecast, as more clarity was
gained regarding the impact of COVID-19 upon the loan portfolio.
Our individually evaluated loans are comprised of loans meeting certain
thresholds, on nonaccrual status, and all TDRs, whether performing or on
nonaccrual status under their restructured terms. Individually evaluated loans
may be evaluated for reserve purposes using either the cash flow or the
collateral valuation method. As of June 30, 2022 , there were $5.3 million in
loans individually evaluated compared to $8.8 million at June 30, 2021 . For more
information on these individually evaluated loans, see "Note 5 - Loans and
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial

Borrowings. Although deposits are our primary source of funds, we may utilize borrowings to manage interest rate risk or as a cost-effective source of funds. Our borrowings typically consist of advances from the FHLB ofAtlanta and FRB. We may obtain advances from the FHLB ofAtlanta upon the security of certain of our commercial and residential real estate loans and/or securities as well as obtain advances from the FRB upon the security of certain of our commercial and consumer loans. These advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate, range of maturities and call features.
The following tables set forth information regarding our borrowings at the end of and during the periods indicated.

There were no borrowings at June 30, 2022 compared to $115.0 million at June 30,
2021 due to continual paydown of borrowings during the period. As of June 30,
2022 , we had the ability to borrow an additional $277.6 million through the
FHLB. In addition to FHLB advances, at June 30, 2022 , we had an unused line of
credit with the FRB in the amount of $68.2 million , subject to qualifying
collateral, and $120.0 million available through lines of credit with three
unaffiliated banks. See "Note 9 - Borrowings" of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information
about our borrowings.
Capital Resources

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Liquidity Management
Management maintains a liquidity position that it believes will adequately provide funding for loan demand and deposit run-off that may occur in the normal course of business. We rely on a number of different sources in order to meet our potential liquidity demands. The primary sources are increases in deposit accounts and cash flows from loan payments and the securities portfolio. In addition to these primary sources of funds, management has several secondary sources available to meet potential funding requirements as outlined in the "Comparison of Financial Condition - Borrowings" section above. Additionally, we classify our securities portfolio as available for sale, providing an additional source of liquidity. Management believes that our security portfolio is of high quality and the securities would therefore be marketable. In addition, we have historically sold fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market to reduce interest rate risk and to create still another source of liquidity. From time to time we also utilize brokered time deposits to supplement our other sources of funds. Brokered time deposits are obtained by utilizing an outside broker that is paid a fee. This funding requires advance notification to structure the type of deposit desired by us. Brokered deposits can vary in term from one month to several years and have the benefit of being a source of longer-term funding. We also utilize brokered deposits to help manage interest rate risk by extending the term to repricing of our liabilities, enhance our liquidity, and fund asset growth. Brokered deposits are typically from outside our primary market areas, and our brokered deposit levels may vary from time to time depending on competitive interest rate conditions and other factors. AtJune 30, 2022 , brokered deposits totaled$26.3 million , or 0.8% of total deposits. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments, such as overnight deposits and federal funds. On a longer term basis, we maintain a strategy of investing in various lending products and debt securities, including mortgage-backed securities. On a stand-alone level we are a separate legal entity fromHomeTrust Bank and must provide for our own liquidity and pay our own operating expenses. Our primary source of funds consists of dividends or capital distributions fromHomeTrust Bank , although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability ofHomeTrust Bank to pay dividends. AtJune 30, 2022 , we (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of$6.9 million . At the Bank level, we use our sources of funds primarily to meet our ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits and fund withdrawals, and to fund loan commitments. AtJune 30, 2022 , the total approved loan commitments and unused lines of credit outstanding amounted to$417.6 million and$485.2 million , respectively, as compared to$401.1 million and$530.5 million , respectively, as ofJune 30, 2021 . Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less atJune 30, 2022 , totaled$428.7 million . It is management's policy to manage deposit rates that are competitive with other local financial institutions. Based on this management strategy, we believe that a majority of maturing deposits will remain with us.
Off-Balance Sheet Activities
In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in our financial statements, mainly to manage customers' requests for funding. These transactions primarily take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit and involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. For further information, see "Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk
Our Risk When Interest Rates Change. The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time. Our loans generally have longer maturities than our deposits. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is our most significant market risk. If interest rates rise, our net interest income could be reduced because interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, including deposits and borrowings, could increase more quickly than interest received on interest-earning assets, including loans and other investments. In addition, rising interest rates may hurt our income because they may reduce the demand for loans. How We Measure Our Risk of Interest Rate Changes. As part of our process to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we monitor our interest rate risk. In monitoring interest rate risk we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on market conditions, their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities, their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates, and interest rate sensitivities of our non-maturity deposits with respect to interest rates paid and the level of balances. The Board of Directors sets the asset and liability policy ofHomeTrust Bank , which is implemented by management and an asset/liability committee whose members include certain members of senior management. The purpose of this committee is to communicate, coordinate and control asset/liability management consistent with our business plan and Board approved policies. The committee establishes and monitors the volume and mix of assets and funding sources taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs. The objectives are to manage assets and funding sources to produce results that are consistent with liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk, and profitability goals. The committee generally meets on a quarterly basis to review, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate risk exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to net present value of portfolio equity analysis and income simulations. The committee recommends strategy changes based on this review. The committee is responsible for reviewing and reporting on the effects of the policy implementations and strategies to the Board of Directors at least quarterly. 41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Among the techniques we have used at various times to manage interest rate risk are: (i) increasing our portfolio of hybrid and adjustable-rate one-to-four family residential loans and commercial loans; (ii) maintaining a strong capital position, which provides for a favorable level of interest-earning assets relative to interest-bearing liabilities; and (iii) emphasizing less interest rate sensitive and lower-costing "core deposits." We also maintain a portfolio of short-term or adjustable-rate assets and use fixed-rate FHLB advances and brokered deposits to extend the term to repricing of our liabilities. We consider the relatively short duration of our deposits in our overall asset/liability management process. As short-term rates increase, we have assets and liabilities that increase with the market. This is reflected in the change in our PVE when rates increase (see the table below). PVE is defined as the net present value of our existing assets and liabilities. In addition, we have historically demonstrated an ability to maintain retail deposits through various interest rate cycles. If local retail deposit rates increase dramatically, we also have access to wholesale funding through our lines of credit with the FHLB and FRB, as well as through the brokered deposit market to replace retail deposits, as needed. Depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions, and competitive factors, the committee may in the future determine to increase our interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain or increase our net interest margin. In particular, during certain periods of stable or declining interest rates, we believe that the increased net interest income resulting from a mismatch in the maturity of our assets and liabilities portfolios may provide high enough returns to justify increased exposure to sudden and unexpected increases in interest rates. As a result of this philosophy, our results of operations and the economic value of our equity will remain vulnerable to increases in interest rates and to declines due to differences between long- and short-term interest rates. The committee regularly reviews interest rate risk by forecasting the impact of alternative interest rate environments on net interest income and our PVE. The committee also evaluates these impacts against the potential changes in net interest income and market value of our portfolio equity that are monitored by the Board of Directors ofHomeTrust Bank generally on a quarterly basis. Our asset/liability management strategy sets limits on the change in PVE given certain changes in interest rates. The table presented here, as ofJune 30, 2022 , is forward-looking information about our sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The table incorporates data from an independent service, as it relates to maturity repricing and repayment/withdrawal of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate risk is measured by changes in PVE for instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve up and down 400 basis points. Given the current targeted federal funds rate is 1.50% to 1.75% making an immediate change of -300 or -400 basis points improbable, a PVE calculation for a decrease of greater than 200 basis points has not been prepared. An increase in rates would increase our PVE because the repricing of nonmaturing deposits tend to lag behind the increase in market rates. This positive impact is partially offset by the negative effect from our loans with interest rate floors which will not adjust until such time as a loan's current interest rate adjusts to an increase in market rates which exceeds the interest rate floor. Conversely, in a falling interest rate environment these interest rate floors will assist in maintaining our net interest income. As ofJune 30, 2022 , our loans with interest rate floors totaled approximately$511.4 million , or 18.5% of our total loan portfolio, and had a weighted average floor rate of 3.70%. Of these loans,$22.3 million were at their floor rate and$17.3 million , or 77.7%, had yields that would begin floating again once prime rates increase at least 100 basis points. June 30, 2022 Change in Interest Rates in Present Value Equity PVE Basis Points Amount $ Change % Change Ratio (Dollars in Thousands) + 400$ 904,290 $ 150,107 20 % 27 % + 300 878,297 124,114 16 26 + 200 848,331 94,148 12 25 + 100 807,639 53,456 7 23 Base 754,183 - - 22 - 100 639,196 (114,987) (15) 18 - 200 477,864 (276,319) (37) 13 In evaluating our exposure to interest rate movements, certain shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table must be considered. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or repricing periods, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a significant change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed above. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. We consider all of these factors in monitoring our exposure to interest rate risk. The Board of Directors and management ofHomeTrust Bank believe that certain factors affordHomeTrust Bank the ability to operate successfully despite its exposure to interest rate risk.HomeTrust Bank may manage its interest rate risk by originating and retaining adjustable rate loans in its portfolio, by borrowing from the FHLB to match the duration of our funding to the duration of originated fixed rate one-to-four family and commercial loans held in portfolio and by selling on an ongoing basis certain currently originated longer term fixed rate one-to-four family real estate loans. 42
