is we're So how we assumptions, those first on quarters? modeling two items charge-off next and the net two as the reserving question should out about think

Kevin. Glen, is This

in, – got the as So if impact much they we've they've to manageable. seemed haven't have especially, reserve because it specifics built hasn't fairly yet, been charge-offs,

are gradings. allowance that performing the impaired, the for on in what's to I loans impact substandard is our of percentages buckets. had mention not loan moving more the but are and tend some put We think special flat in

So had side. of right the impact grading now, the much are movement as as again, seems kind loan Hopefully, would. of charge-offs to they have not charge-offs on we manageable

much to $X the we So have as we keep million if seems them in, $X it again, if have impact. any, million to not range,

And then the side – equation charge-off outside given think quarter, that we that model as we the charge-off how you had and this should out? about of

know, question. headed in to future. reserves got we've if charge-off anything good a specific on I don't the immediate That's is

quarters. anything for I So next couple the don't anticipate now right

but we is we can So, going seen the to I haven't obviously, mean, yet anything something that think bubble charge-off. in up,

And we've occurred in what past. that with articulated situation the

be anything this we watching that that that seems pike, Glen one-off of a think of from quarters. from couple down we're next as said, But the we closely a for and I So was that the sort have don't charge-off knew to coming point. standpoint at

Yeah.

larger bank move a OREO that was just to in talked regional We As we bankruptcy decided of we about took. a quarter. retail from the this charge-off center shopping kind

lastly, what your negative you're of in there loans. is is far Okay. on a risk is adjustment risk valuation participating And a out you then Can valuation, them kind of Is color? being give And those credit as there some if any as there us also loans? issue? back put

that standpoint, ultimately not our On And do sales can't the there a are to have some both to is standpoint agree that maturity then us has them servicing only anything that really there we risk allowance to the fronts, -- that isn't No. the could the valuation a us. in and or back They things, renew those it to they force risk. put buyer impact would and might either. valuation side other from but that take

Thanks. go step the in queue. All right. I'll and back I'll back
