The impact of adopting ASC 326 was a decrease of $3.3 million in the allowance for credit losses – loans. Loan recoveries and charge-offs were $41,000 and $819,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

- Stockholders' equity totaled $262.7 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $200.1 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $62.5 million.
