Service charges and fees - Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees, monthly service fees, and other deposit account related fees.  Account analysis and monthly service fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Other deposit account related fees are largely transaction based and therefore fees are recognized at the point in time when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation. The Company earns other service charges, commissions, and fees from its customers for transaction-based services. Such services include debit card, ATM, and other service charges.  In each case, these service charges and fees are recognized in income at the time or within the same period that the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied. The Company earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted through various payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services.

 

Foreign exchange income The Company earns foreign exchange fees from clients who complete a transaction in a foreign currency. The fees represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are assessed concurrently with the transaction processing service provided to the client. They are then recognized at the end of the month following the transaction processing service.

 

Gains/Losses on Sale of OREO  The Company records a gain from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized, and the gain on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain on sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain on sale if a significant financing component is present. There were no gains or losses on the sale of OREO for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

About Revenue Disclosures

Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.

Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
