NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BayCom Corp (the “Company”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Walnut Creek, California. United Business Bank (the “Bank”), the Company’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, is a California state-chartered bank which provides a broad range of financial services primarily to local small and mid-sized businesses, service professionals and individuals. In the 17 years of operation, the Bank has grown to 34 full-service banking branches. The main headquarters and a branch office are located in Walnut Creek, California and additional branch offices are located in Oakland, Castro Valley, Mountain View, Napa, Stockton (2), Pleasanton, Livermore, San Jose, Long Beach, Sacramento, San Francisco, Buena Park, Los Angeles, and Garden Grove, California, and Seattle, Washington (2), New Mexico (5) and Colorado (11). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. None of the reclassifications impacted consolidated net income, earnings per share or shareholders’ equity.

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

On February 4, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of Grand Mountain Bancshares, Inc. (“GMB”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Grand Mountain Bank, headquartered in Granby, Colorado (“GMB Merger”). See “Note 3 – Acquisitions” for additional information on the GMB Merger.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET EFFECTIVE AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 provides that state franchise or similar taxes that are based, at least in part on an entity’s income, be included in an entity’s income tax recognized as income-based taxes. The ASU further clarifies that the effect of any change in tax laws or rates used in the computation of the annual effective tax rate are required to be reflected in the first interim period that includes the enactment date of the legislation. Technical changes to eliminate exceptions to Topic 740 related to intra-period tax allocations for entities with losses from continuing operations, deferred tax liabilities related to change in ownership of foreign entities, and interim-period tax allocations for businesses with losses where the losses are expected to be realized. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on December 15, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(unaudited)

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs” (“ASU 2020-08”). ASU 2020-08 clarifies that the Company should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. The Company adopted ASU 2020-08 on December 15, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2020-08 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326) and subsequent amendment to the initial guidance in November 2018, ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, in April 2019, ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, and in May 2019, ASU 2019-05 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, Topic 326, all of which clarifies codification and corrects unintended application of the guidance. ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. In issuing the standard, the FASB is responding to criticism that today’s guidance delays recognition of credit losses. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, will apply to: (1) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (2) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. The CECL model does not apply to available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities. For AFS debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to what they do today, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses immediately in earnings rather than as interest income over time, as they do today. The ASU also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) debt securities and loans. ASU 2016-13 also expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses. In addition, public business entities will need to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are accounted for using lease guidance and not as financial instruments. ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” affects a variety of topics in the Codification and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. ASU 2019-05 allows entities to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option on financial instruments that (1) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (2) are within the scope of ASC 326-20 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The amendments in these ASUs are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted for smaller reporting companies, such as the Company. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach). The Company is reviewing the requirements of these ASUs and expects to begin developing and implementing processes and procedures to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date. Upon adoption, the Company expects changes in the processes and procedures used to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. The new guidance may result in an increase in the allowance for loan losses which will also reflect the new requirement to include the nonaccretable principal differences on purchased credit-impaired loans; however, the Company is still in the process of determining the magnitude of the change and its impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU applies to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other rate references expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU permits an entity to make necessary modifications to eligible contracts or transactions without requiring contract remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. In January 2021, ASU 2021-01 updated amendments in the new ASU to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. Amendments in this ASU to the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this ASU on a full retrospective basis. The amendments in this ASU have differing effective dates, beginning with an interim period including and subsequent to March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

On February 4, 2020, the Company completed the GMB Merger. As of the acquisition date, GMB merged into the Company and Grand Mountain Bank, GMB’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, merged into United Business Bank. The acquisition expanded the Company’s market share in Colorado with the addition of four branches located in Grand County, Colorado. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company paid GMB shareholders $3.40 in cash for each share or approximately $13.9 million.

At March 31, 2021, the Company held 278 investment securities, of which 17 were in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months and 26 were in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. These temporary unrealized losses relate principally to current interest rates for similar types of securities. The Company anticipates full recovery of amortized cost with respect to these securities at maturity or sooner in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment. Deterioration in market and economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic may, however, have an adverse impact on credit quality in the future and result in other-than-temporary impairment charges.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available-for-sale at the dates indicated by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Impaired loans on accrual are comprised solely of TDR loans performing under modified loan agreements, whose principal and interest is determined to be collectible. Nonaccrual loans are loans where principal and interest have been determined to not be fully collectible.

In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider, the related loan is classified as a TDR loan. TDR loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status at the time of restructuring and included in impaired loans. These loans are returned to accrual status after the borrower demonstrates performance with the modified terms for a sustained period of

time (generally six months) and has the capacity to continue to perform in accordance with the modified terms of the restructured debt.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded no charge-offs related to TDR loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no TDR loans for which there was a payment default within the first 12 months of the modification. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, TDR loans had a related allowance of $31,000 and $35,000, respectively. There were no commitments to lend additional amounts to borrowers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDR loans at March 31, 2021. As March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $778,000 and $798,000, respectively, of TDR loans were performing in accordance with their modified terms. All TDR loans are also included in the loans individually evaluated for impairment as part of the calculation of the allowance for loan losses.

The Bank continues to offer payment and financial relief programs for borrowers impacted by COVID-19 under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020, or CARES Act, and related regulatory guidance. The primary relief for these borrowers is to allow interest only payments for up to 450 days. Since these loans were performing loans that were current on their payments prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, these modifications are not considered troubled debt restructurings through the earlier of January 1, 2022, or 60 days after the national emergency terminates. Modified loans are re-evaluated at the end of the initial deferral period and will either return to the original loan terms or be reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Bank continued its participation in the initial U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) which ended in August 2020, by processing applications for PPP loan forgiveness, for loans funded during this first PPP program. The Bank is also processing loan applications under the SBA’s second PPP program which was enacted in December 2020 and will end on May 31, 2021.

Risk Rating System

The Company evaluates and assigns a risk grade to each loan based on certain criteria to assess the credit quality of each loan. The assignment of a risk rating is done for each individual loan. Loans are graded from inception and on a

Table of Contents

BAYCOM CORP AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)

(Tables in thousands, except for share and per share data)

(unaudited)

continuing basis until the debt is repaid. Any adverse or beneficial trends will trigger a review of the loan risk rating. Each loan is assigned a risk grade based on its characteristics. Loans with low to average credit risk are assigned a lower risk grade than those with higher credit risk as determined by the individual loan characteristics. All loans modified due to COVID-19 are separately monitored and any request for continuation of relief beyond the initial modification is reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate.

The Company’s Pass loans includes loans with acceptable business or individual credit risk where the borrower’s operations, cash flow or financial condition provides evidence of low to average levels of risk.

Loans that are assigned higher risk grades are loans that exhibit the following characteristics:

Special Mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. A Special Mention rating is a temporary rating, pending the occurrence of an event that would cause the risk rating either to improve or to be downgraded.

Loans in this category would be characterized by any of the following situations:

●

Credit that is currently protected but is potentially a weak asset;

●

Credit that is difficult to manage because of an inadequate loan agreement, the condition of and/or control over collateral, failure to obtain proper documentation, or any other deviation from product lending practices; and

●

Adverse financial trends.

Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. Loans classified substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The potential loss does not have to be recognizable in an individual credit for that credit to be risk rated Substandard. A loan can be fully and adequately secured and still be considered Substandard.

Some characteristics of Substandard loans are:

●

Inability to service debt from ordinary and recurring cash flow;

●

Chronic delinquency;

●

Reliance upon alternative sources of repayment;

●

Term loans that are granted on liberal terms because the borrower cannot service normal payments for that type of debt;

●

Repayment dependent upon the liquidation of collateral;

●

Inability to perform as agreed, but adequately protected by collateral;

●

Necessity to renegotiate payments to a non-standard level to ensure performance; and

●

The borrower is bankrupt, or for any other reason, future repayment is dependent on court action.

Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions, and value, highly questionable and improbable. Doubtful loans have a high probability of loss, yet certain important and reasonably specific pending factors may work toward the strengthening of the credit.

Losses are recognized as charges to the allowance when the loan or portion of the loan is considered uncollectible or at the time of foreclosure. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are credited to the allowance for loan losses.

The balance of nonaccrual loans guaranteed by a government agency, which reduces the Company’s credit exposure, was $885,000 at March 31, 2021 compared to $850,000 at December 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, nonaccrual loans included $4.4 million and $620,000, respectively, of loans 30-89 days past due and $2.4 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of loans less than 30 days past due. At March 31, 2021, nonaccrual loans 30-89 days past due of $4.4 million primarily comprised of two loans and the $2.4 million of loans less than 30 days past due

are comprised of 13 small balance loans. All of these loans were placed on nonaccrual due to concerns over the client’s financial condition. Interest foregone on nonaccrual loans was approximately $88,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $101,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, respectively.

Purchase Credit Impaired Loans

In connection with the Company's acquisitions, the contractual amount and timing of undiscounted principal and interest payments and the estimated amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal and interest payments were used to estimate the fair value of PCI loans at the acquisition date. The difference between these two amounts represented the nonaccretable difference. On the acquisition date, the amount by which the undiscounted expected cash flows exceed the estimated fair value of the acquired loans is the “accretable yield”. The accretable yield is then measured at each financial reporting date and represented the difference between the remaining undiscounted expected cash flows and the current carrying value of the loans. For PCI loans the accretable yield is accreted into interest income over the life of the estimated remaining cash flows. At each financial reporting date, the carrying value of each PCI loan is compared to an updated estimate of expected principal payment or recovery on each loan. To the extent that the loan carrying amount exceeds the updated expected principal payment or recovery, a provision of loan loss would be recorded as a charge to income and an allowance for loan loss established.

The unpaid principal balance and carrying value of the Company’s PCI loans at the dates indicated are as follows:

NOTE 8 – LEASES

The Company leases 19 branches under noncancelable operating leases. These leases expire on various dates through 2030. The Company’s leases often have an option to renew one or more times, at the Company’s discretion, following the expiration of the initial term. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. The Company uses the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term.

The below maturity schedule represents the undiscounted lease payments for the five-year period and thereafter as of March 31, 2021:


For the remainder of 2021	$	3,185

NOTE 9 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill is determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and other intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Core deposit intangible represents the estimated future benefit of deposits related to an acquisition and is booked separately from the related deposits and amortized over an estimated useful live of seven to ten years.

Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Due to the adverse and unknown economic impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company performed a goodwill impairment qualitative assessment during the first quarter of 2021 to determine if it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill.

As of March 31, 2021 the Company’s qualitative assessment which considered the Company’s continued profitability, positive equity, average community bank merger deal values realized during the first quarter of 2021, net interest margin, allowance for loan loss, and the continued growth in its core deposit portfolio, the Company concluded that the goodwill of the Company’s reporting unit, the Bank, is not more likely than not to be impaired. However, if adverse economic conditions or the recent decrease in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic were to be deemed sustained rather than temporary, it may significantly affect the fair value of the Company’s goodwill and may require impairment charges. Any impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Changes in the Company's goodwill at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2021		2020

NOTE 15 – EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

The shareholders approved the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”) in November 2017. The 2017 Plan provides for the awarding by the Company’s Board of Directors of equity incentive awards to employees and non-employee directors. An equity incentive award may be an option, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, stock award, other stock-based award or performance award granted under the 2017 Plan. Factors considered by the Board in awarding equity incentives to officers and employees include the performance of the Company, the employee’s or officer’s job performance, the importance of his or her position, and his or her contribution to the organization’s goals for the award period. Generally, awards are restricted and have a vesting period of no longer than ten years. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2017 Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the 2017 Plan is 450,000. The 2017 Plan provides for an annual restricted stock grant limits to officers, employees and directors. The annual stock grant limit per person for officers and employees is the lessor of 50,000 shares or a value of $2.0 million, and per person for directors, the maximum is 25,000 shares. All unvested restricted shares outstanding vest in the event of a change in control of the Company. Awarded shares of restricted stock vest over (i) a one-year period following the date of grant, in the case of the non-employee directors, and (ii) a three-year or five-year period following the date of grant, with the initial vesting occurring on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, in the case of the executive officers. As of March 31, 2021, a total of 127,060 shares were available for future issuance under the 2017 Plan.

2014 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

In 2014, the shareholders approved the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). A total of 148,962 equity incentive awards were granted under the 2014 Plan. The awards are shares of restricted stock and have a vesting period of one to five years. No future equity awards will be made from the 2014 Plan.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the shares at the award date. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, total compensation expense for these plans was $413,000 and $309,000, respectively.

As of March 31, 2021, there was $2.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested shares granted as restricted stock awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately three years.

The following table provides the restricted stock grant activity for the periods indicated:

NOTE 16 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value including a three-level valuation hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date reflecting assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. The hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Observable prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities; prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; directly observable market inputs for substantially the full term of the asset and liability; market inputs that are not directly observable but are derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

We use fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, primarily securities available-for-sale. For assets measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the fair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period and such measurements are therefore considered “nonrecurring” for purposes of disclosing our fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for impaired loans and other real estate owned and also to record impairment on certain assets, such as goodwill, core deposit intangible, and other long-lived assets.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In such cases, the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the measurement is used to determine the hierarchy for the entire asset or liability. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with our quarterly valuation process. There were no transfers between levels during 2021 or 2020.

The following assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan may be considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise and liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value which uses substantially observable data, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value or the appraised value contains a significant assumption and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

The Company records OREO at fair value on a nonrecurring basis based on the collateral value of the property. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value which uses substantially observable data, the Company records the OREO as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value or the appraised value contains a significant assumption, and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Management also incorporates assumptions regarding market trends or other relevant factors and selling and commission costs ranging from 5% to 7%. Such adjustments and assumptions are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

We operate in a highly regulated environment. From time to time we are a party to various claims and litigation matters incidental to the conduct of our business. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings where we believe the resolution would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Nevertheless, given the nature, scope and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to our business (including laws and regulations governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security and anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws), we, like all banking organizations, are subject to heightened legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various commitments to extend credit, which are not reflected in the financial statements. These commitments consist of the undisbursed balance on personal, commercial lines, including commercial real estate secured lines of credit, and of undisbursed funds on construction and development loans. The Company also issues standby letter of credit commitments, primarily for the third-party performance obligations of clients.

The following table presents a summary of commitments described above as of the dates indicated:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2021		2020
Commitments to extend credit	$	96,565	$	108,376
Standby letters of credit		2,299		2,326
Total commitments	$	98,864	$	110,702

Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The actual liquidity needs or the credit risk that the Company will experience will be lower than the contractual amount of commitments to extend credit because a significant portion of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. The commitments are generally variable rate and include unfunded home equity lines of credit, commercial real estate construction where disbursement is made over the course of construction, commercial revolving lines of credit, and unsecured personal lines of credit. The Company’s outstanding loan commitments are made using the same underwriting standards as comparable outstanding loans. The reserve associated with these commitments included in interest payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets was $415,000 at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Commercial Real Estate Concentrations

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in commercial real estate related loans. The Company’s commercial real estate loans are secured by owner-occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate and multifamily properties. Although management believes that loans within these concentrations have no more than the normal risk of collectability, a decline in the performance of the economy in general or a decline in real estate value in the Company’s primary market areas in particular, could have an adverse impact on collectability.

Other Assets

The Company has commitments to fund Low Income Housing Tax Credit Partnerships (“LIHTC”) and a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”). At March 31, 2021, the remaining commitments to the LIHTC and SBIC were approximately $712,000 and $122,000, respectively. At December 31, 2020, the remaining commitments to the LIHTC and SBIC were approximately $899,000 and $122,000, respectively.

Executive Overview

General. BayCom is a bank holding company headquartered in Walnut Creek, California. BayCom’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, United Business Bank, provides a broad range of financial services to businesses and business owners as well as individuals through its network of 34 full-service branches, with 16 locations in California, two in Washington, five in Central New Mexico and 11 in Colorado. The Company’s business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including consolidated financial statements and related data, relate primarily to the Bank.

Our principal objective is to continue to increase shareholder value and generate consistent earnings growth by expanding our commercial banking franchise through both strategic acquisitions and organic growth. Since 2010, we have expanded our geographic footprint through nine strategic acquisitions. We believe our strategy of selectively acquiring and integrating community banks has provided us with economies of scale and improved our overall franchise efficiency. Looking forward, we expect to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions and believe our targeted market areas present us with many and varied acquisition opportunities. We are also focused on continuing to grow organically and believe the metropolitan and community markets in which we operate currently provide meaningful opportunities to expand our commercial client base and increase both interest-earning assets and market share. We believe our geographic footprint, which now includes the San Francisco Bay area, the metropolitan markets of Los Angeles, California, Seattle, Washington, and Denver, Colorado, and community markets including Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Custer, Delta, and Grand counties, Colorado, provides us with access to low cost, stable core deposits in community markets that we can use to fund commercial loan growth. We strive to provide an enhanced banking experience for our clients by providing them with a comprehensive suite of sophisticated banking products and services tailored to meet their needs, while delivering the high-quality, relationship-based client service of a community bank. At March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $2.3 billion in total assets, $1.6 billion in total loans, $1.9 billion in total deposits and $254.6 million in shareholders’ equity.

We continue to focus on growing our commercial loan portfolios through acquisitions as well as organic growth. At March 31, 2021, our $1.6 billion total loan portfolio included $92.9 million, or 5.9%, of acquired loans (all of which were recorded to their estimated fair values at the time of acquisition), and the remaining $1.5 billion, or 94.1%, consisted of loans we originated.

The profitability of our operations depends primarily on our net interest income after provision for loan losses, which is the difference between interest earned on interest earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities less provision for loan losses.

The significant 150 basis point reduction in the targeted federal funds rate during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, resulted in a larger impact to our interest-earning assets than to our interest bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin. In addition, our net interest margin is adversely impacted by the low loan yields from the PPP loan portfolio. Annualized net interest margin was 3.49% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 4.22% for the first quarter of 2020. The continuing low interest rate environment is expected to continue to put downward pressure on loan yields and the yields on other floating rate interest earning assets as well. Further, because the length of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of the extraordinary measures being put in place to address its economic consequences are unknown, until the pandemic subsides the Company expects its net interest income and net interest margin will be adversely affected in 2021 and possibly longer.

The provision for loan losses is dependent on changes in our loan portfolio and management’s assessment of the collectability of our loan portfolio as well as prevailing economic and market conditions. The Company did not record a provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily reflecting the improving economy and resulting decline in probable loan losses from COVID-19 during this period.

Our net income is also affected by noninterest income and noninterest expenses. Noninterest income consists of, among other things: (i) service charges on loans and deposits; (ii) gain on sale of loans; and (iii) other noninterest income. Noninterest expense includes, among other things: (i) salaries and related benefits; (ii) occupancy and equipment expense; (iii) data processing; (iv) FDIC and state assessments; (v) outside and professional services; (vi) amortization of intangibles; and (vii) other general and administrative expenses. Noninterest income and noninterest expenses are

Table of Contents

impacted by the growth of our banking operations and growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts both organically and through strategic acquisitions.

Set forth below is a discussion of the primary factors we use to evaluate and manage our results of operations:

Net interest income. Net interest income represents interest income less interest expense. We generate interest income from interest and fees received on interest earning assets, including loans and investment securities and dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) stock we own. We incur interest expense from interest paid on interest bearing liabilities, including interest bearing deposits and borrowings. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor: (i) yields on our loans and other interest earning assets; (ii) the costs of our deposits and other funding sources; (iii) our net interest margin; and (iv) the regulatory risk weighting associated with the assets. Net interest margin is calculated as the annualized net interest income divided by average interest earning assets. Because noninterest bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest bearing deposits and shareholders’ equity, also fund interest earning assets, net interest margin includes the benefit of these noninterest bearing sources.

Changes in market interest rates, the slope of the yield curve, and interest we earn on interest earning assets or pay on interest bearing liabilities, as well as the volume and types of interest earning assets, interest bearing and noninterest bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity, usually have the largest impact on changes in our net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income during a reporting period. Because the length of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of the extraordinary measures being put in place to address its economic consequences are unknown, including the 150 basis point reductions in the targeted federal funds rate in 2020, until the pandemic subsides, the Company expects its net interest income and net interest margin will be adversely affected in 2021 and possibly longer.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income consists of, among other things: (i) loan servicing and other fees; (ii) gain on sale of loans; and (iii) other noninterest income. Gain on sale of loans includes income (or losses) from the sale of the guaranteed portion of U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, capitalized loan servicing rights and other related income.

Provision for loan losses. We established an allowance for loan losses by charging amounts to loan provision at a level required to reflect estimated credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management considers many factors including historical experience, types and amounts of the portfolio and adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, among other factors. See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Allowance for loan loss” for a description of the manner in which the provision for loan losses is established.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense includes, among other things: (i) salaries and related benefits; (ii) occupancy and equipment expense; (iii) data processing; (iv) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and state assessments; (v) outside and professional services; (vi) amortization of intangibles; and (vii) other general and administrative expenses. Salaries and related benefits include compensation, employee benefits and employment tax expenses for our personnel. Occupancy expense includes depreciation expense on our owned properties, lease expense on our leased properties and other occupancy-related expenses. Data processing expense includes data fees paid to our third-party data processing system provider and other data service providers. FDIC and state assessments expense represents the assessments that we pay to the FDIC for deposit insurance and other regulatory costs to various states. Outside and professional fees include legal, accounting, consulting and other outsourcing arrangements. Amortization of intangibles represents the amortization of our core deposit intangible from various acquisitions. Other general and administrative expenses include expenses associated with travel, meals, training, supplies and postage. Noninterest expenses generally increase as we grow our business. Noninterest expenses have increased significantly over the past few years as we have grown through acquisitions and organically, and as we have built out our operational infrastructure.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The JOBS Act permits us an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period,

Table of Contents

which means that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q report, as well as any financial statements that we file in the future, will not be subject to all new or revised accounting standards generally applicable to public companies for the transition period for so long as we remain an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act. The following represent our critical accounting policies:

Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management. Periodically, we charge current earnings with provisions for estimated probable losses of loans receivable. The provision or adjustment takes into consideration the adequacy of the total allowance for loan losses giving due consideration to specifically identified problem loans, the financial condition of the borrowers, fair value of the underlying collateral, recourse provisions, prevailing economic conditions, and other factors. Additional consideration is given to our historical loan loss experience relative to our loan portfolio concentrations related to industry, collateral and geography. Additional analysis was also completed on the allowance for loan losses based on the significance of loan modifications in accordance with the CARES Act and regulatory guidance, loan risk rating downgrades as well as additional risk factors related to COVID-19. Our evaluation of the allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective and requires estimates that are susceptible to significant change as additional or new information becomes available. In addition, regulatory examiners may require additional allowances based on their judgments of the information regarding problem loans and credit risk available to them at the time of their examinations.

Generally, the allowance for loan losses consists of various components including a component for specifically identified weaknesses as a result of individual loans being impaired, a component for general non- specific weakness related to historical experience, economic conditions and other factors that indicate probable loss in the loan portfolio. Loans determined to be impaired are individually evaluated by management for specific risk of loss.

In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, we grant a concession to the borrower that we would not otherwise consider, the related loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring, or TDR. We measure any loss on the TDR in accordance with the guidance concerning impaired loans set forth above. Additionally, TDRs are generally placed on nonaccrual status at the time of restructuring and included in impaired loans. These loans are returned to accrual status after the borrower demonstrates performance with the modified terms for a sustained period of time (generally six months) and has the capacity to continue to perform in accordance with the modified terms of the restructured debt.

Estimated expected cash flows related to purchased credit impaired loans. Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. In situations where such PCI loans have similar risk characteristics, loans may be aggregated into pools to estimate cash flows. A pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single interest rate, cumulative loss rate and cash flow expectation.

The cash flows expected over the life of the PCI loan or pool are estimated using an internal cash flow model that projects cash flows and calculates the carrying values of the pools, book yields, effective interest income and impairment, if any, based on pool level events. Assumptions as to default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds are utilized to calculate the expected cash flows.

Expected cash flows at the acquisition date in excess of the fair value of loans are considered to be accretable yield, which is recognized as interest income over the life of the loan or pool using a level yield method if the timing and amounts of the future cash flows of the pool are reasonably estimable. Subsequent to the acquisition date, any increase in cash flow over those expected at purchase date in excess of fair value is recorded as interest income prospectively. Any subsequent decreases in cash flow over those expected at purchase date are recognized by recording an allowance for loan losses. Any disposals of loans, including sales of loans, payments in full or foreclosures result in the removal of the loan from the loan pool at the carrying amount.

Business combinations. We apply the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Under the acquisition method, the acquiring entity in a business combination recognizes all of the identifiable assets acquired and

Table of Contents

liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Management utilizes prevailing valuation techniques appropriate for the asset or liability being measured in determining these fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over amounts allocated to assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Where amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is greater than the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recognized. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred unless they are directly attributable to the issuance of the Company’s common stock in a business combination.

Loan sales and servicing of financial assets. Periodically, we sell loans and retain the servicing rights. The gain or loss on sale of loans depends in part on the previous carrying amount of the financial assets involved in the transfer, allocated between the assets sold and the retained interests based on their relative fair value at the date of transfer. All servicing assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. In addition, we amortize servicing rights in proportion to and over the period of the estimated net servicing income or loss and assess the rights for impairment.

Income taxes. Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, which recognizes a liability or asset representing the tax effects, based on current tax law, of future deductible or taxable amounts attributable to events that have been recognized in the financial statements. A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the level at which it is “more likely than not” that the tax asset or benefits will be realized. Realization of tax benefits of deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards depends on having sufficient taxable income of an appropriate character within the carry forward periods.

We recognize that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if, based on its merits, the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit by the taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded as part of income tax expense.

Goodwill. Goodwill, which has resulted from a number of our acquisitions, is reviewed for impairment annually, or between annual assessments if a triggering event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not result in the fair value of a reporting unit being below its carrying amount. We make a qualitative assessment whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit where goodwill is assigned is less than its carrying amount. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the general business climate; significant decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization; unanticipated competition; and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. Any adverse changes in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of goodwill and could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Due to the adverse and unknown economic impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company performed a goodwill impairment qualitative assessment during the first quarter of 2021 to determine if it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill. As of March 31, 2021 the Company’s qualitative assessment, which considered the Company’s continued profitability, positive equity, average community bank merger deal values realized during the first quarter of 2021, net interest margin, allowance for loan loss, and the continued growth in its core deposit portfolio, concluded that the goodwill of the Company’s reporting unit, the Bank, is not more likely than not to be impaired.

BayCom’s Response to COVID-19

Due to the current global situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is offering a variety of relief options designed to support our clients and the communities we serve.

Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Participation. During the first quarter of 2021, the Bank continued its participation in the initial SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) by processing applications for PPP loan forgiveness. As of March 31, 2021, the Bank has received SBA forgiveness for 384 PPP loans totaling $29.8 million out of the $140.2 million in PPP loans funded during the first PPP program. During the first quarter of 2021, the Bank began accepting and processing loan applications under the second PPP program enacted in December 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the Bank has funded 370 PPP loans totaling $48.3 million under the second PPP program. As of March 31, 2021, the Bank had 1,345 PPP loans outstanding totaling $158.7 million, with unearned fees and recognized fees of $4.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Loan Modifications. At March 31, 2021, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was $17.5 million, or 1.10% of total loans, compared to $17.5 million, or 1.06% of total loans, at December 31, 2020, and $9.1 million, or 0.56% of total loans, at March 31, 2020.

Based on our review of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2021, the Company recorded no provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2021, compared to a provision of $1.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and $1.7 million in the first quarter a year ago. No provision for loan losses was recorded this quarter primarily because of improvements in the general economic environment at March 31, 2021 as compared to prior quarters. We believe the steps we have taken over the course of the last year are necessary to effectively manage our portfolio and assist our clients through the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the duration, impact and government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Bank continues to offer payment and financial relief programs for borrowers impacted by COVID-19 under the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance. As of March 31, 2021, 23 loans totaling $32.0 million were subject to payment forbearance agreements compared to 43 loans totaling $66.7 million at December 31, 2020. The primary relief for these borrowers is to allow interest only payments for up to 450 days. Since these loans were performing loans that were current on their payments prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, these modifications are not considered troubled debt restructurings through the earlier of January 1, 2022, or 60 days after the national emergency terminates. Modified loans are re-evaluated at the end of the initial deferral period and will either return to the original loan terms or be reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate.

The Company has made available the following short-term relief option to all borrowers affected by COVID-19:

●

Interest only payments on loans for up to 450 days;

●

Full payment deferrals for up to 180 days upon request with an extension for another 180 days upon submission of specified documentation and recovery plans;

●

Loan re-amortization, especially in cases where significant prepayments of principal have occurred to provide for continuing payment reduction at the end of the 180-day deferment period;

●

Covenant waivers and resets.

All loans modified due to COVID-19 are separately monitored and any request for continuation of relief beyond the initial modification will be reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate. Loan modifications made in accordance with the CARES Act and related banking agency guidance are still subject to an evaluation in regard to determining whether or not a loan is deemed to be impaired.

Branch Operations and Additional Client Support. The Company remains focused on keeping its employees safe and the Bank running effectively to serve its clients. The Bank is managing branch access and occupancy levels in relation to cases and close contact scenarios, following governmental restrictions and public health authority guidelines, and encouraging remote work and supporting employees with paid time off. As of March 31, 2021, all of the Bank’s branch lobbies were open.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020

Total assets. Total assets increased $92.5 million, or 4.2%, to $2.3 billion at March 31, 2021, from $2.2 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily the result of cash and cash equivalents increasing $158.4 million, or 52.9%, and partially offset by a decrease in total loans receivable due to loan repayments and PPP loan forgiveness.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $158.4 million, or 52.9%, to $457.7 million, at March 31, 2021, from $299.3 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily a result of loan repayments and an increase in total deposits, which exceeded the funds required for loan originations and used for purchases of investment securities.

Securities. Investment securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale, decreased $4.5 million, or 3.8%, to $111.1 million at March 31, 2021 from $115.6 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the routine amortization and repayment of investment principal balances.

Loans receivable, net. We originate a wide variety of loans with a focus on commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans and commercial and industrial loans. Loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses, decreased $59.1 million, or 3.6%, to $1.6 billion at March 31, 2021 from December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to loan repayments totaling $150.0 million, including $25.6 million in PPP loan forgiveness, offset by loan originations totaling $81.9 million. Loan originations for the first three months of 2021 totaled $81.9 million, including $48.3 million of new PPP loans, compared to $110.9 million for the first three months of 2020. The decrease in loan originations for the current period compared to the comparable period in 2020 reflected overall lower loan production due to the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the PPP loan activity.

Nonperforming assets and nonaccrual loans. Nonperforming assets consists of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans that are 90 days or more past due and other real estate owned (“OREO”). Nonperforming assets increased $942,000, or 10.4%, to $10.0 million at March 31, 2021 from $9.1 million at December 31, 2020, primarily due to one new nonaccrual residential loan, partially offset by a decrease in OREO and accruing loans 90 days and more past due. The Company had nonaccrual loans totaling $9.8 million or 0.62% of total loans, of which $885,000 are guaranteed by governmental agencies at March 31, 2021, compared to $8.4 million or 0.53% of total loans at December 31, 2020. Included in nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, are $823,000 and $567,000, respectively, of TDR loans. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, nonaccrual loans included $4.4 million and $620,000, respectively, of loans 30-89 days past due and $2.4 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of loans less than 30 days past due. At March 31, 2021, nonaccrual loans 30-89 days past due of $4.4 million primarily comprised of two loans and the $2.4 million of loans less than 30 days past due are comprised of 13 small balance loans. All of these loans were placed on nonaccrual due to concerns over the client’s financial condition.

In general, loans are placed on nonaccrual status after being contractually delinquent for more than 90 days, or earlier, if management believes full collection of future principal and interest on a timely basis is unlikely. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest accrued but not received is charged against interest income. When the ability to fully collect nonaccrual loan principal is in doubt, cash payments received are applied against the principal balance of the loan until such time as full collection of the remaining recorded balance is expected. Generally, loans with temporarily impaired values and loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties are placed on nonaccrual status even though the borrowers continue to repay the loans as scheduled. Such loans are categorized as performing nonaccrual loans and are reflected in nonperforming assets. Interest received on such loans is recognized as interest income when received. A nonaccrual loan is restored to an accrual basis when principal and interest payments are paid current, and full payment of principal and interest is probable. Loans that are well secured and in the process of collection will remain on accrual status.

Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date, without a carryover of the related allowance for loan and lease losses. These acquired loans are segregated into three types: pass rated loans with no discount attributable to credit quality, non-impaired loans with a discount attributable at least in part to credit quality, and impaired loans with evidence of significant credit deterioration.

●

Pass rated loans (typically performing loans) are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 310-20 “Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs” as these loans do not have evidence of credit deterioration since origination.

●

Non-impaired loans (typically performing substandard loans) are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 310-30 if they display at least some level of credit deterioration since origination.

●

Impaired loans (typically substandard loans on nonaccrual status) are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 310-30 as they display significant credit deterioration since origination.

For pass rated loans (non-purchased credit-impaired loans), the difference between the estimated fair value of the loans and the principal outstanding is accreted over the remaining life of the loans.

In accordance with ASC Topic 310-30, for both purchased non-impaired loans (performing substandard loans) and purchased credit-impaired loans, the loans are pooled by loan type and the difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the non-accretable difference. Further, any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan pools when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows.

Troubled debt restructured loans. Troubled debt restructured loans, or TDR loans, which are accounted for under ASC Topic 310-40, 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, or a longer term to maturity. TDR loans as of March 31, 2021 totaled $1.6 million, of which $778,000 were accruing and performing according to their restructuring terms. TDR loans as of December 31, 2020 totaled $1.4 million, of which $798,000 were accruing and performing according to their restructuring terms. The accruing TDR loans are not considered nonperforming assets as they continue to accrue interest despite being considered impaired due to the restructured status. There were related allowance for loan losses on the TDR loans of $31,000 and $35,000 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. As discussed above, the Company elected to apply the temporary relief under the CARES Act and related bank regulatory guidance to certain eligible short-term modifications and past due loans. Qualifying loan modifications were not classified as TDR loans for accounting or disclosure purposes until 180 days following a loan's initial modification under the CARES Act and related bank regulatory guidance.

Potential problem loans. Potential problem loans are those loans that are currently accruing interest and are not considered impaired, but which we are monitoring because the financial information of the borrower causes us concern as to their ability to comply with their loan repayment terms. We define potential problem loans as loans classified as “Substandard”, “Doubtful” or “Loss” that are not included in the amounts of nonaccrual or restructured loans. During the ordinary course of business, management may become aware of borrowers that may not be able to meet the contractual requirements of their loan agreements. Such loans are placed under closer supervision with consideration given to placing the loan on nonaccrual status, the need for an additional allowance for loan losses, and (if appropriate) partial or full charge-off. At March 31, 2021, there are $16.1 million of potential problem loans, compared to $12.7 million at December 31, 2020. Also, see Note 5 — Loans in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1 - Financial Statements” within this report.

Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained to cover losses that are estimated in accordance with GAAP. It is our estimate of loan losses inherent in our loan portfolio at each balance sheet date. Our methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of general and specific components. For the general component, we stratify the loan portfolio into homogeneous groups of loans that possess similar loss potential characteristics and apply a loss ratio to these groups of loans to estimate the credit losses in the loan portfolio. We use both historical loss ratios and qualitative loss factors assigned to major loan collateral types to establish general component loss allocations. Qualitative loss factors are based on management’s judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data and external economic indicators, which may not yet be reflected in the historical loss ratios, and that could impact our specific loan portfolios. Management and the Board of Directors sets and adjusts qualitative loss factors by regularly reviewing changes in underlying loan composition and the seasonality of specific portfolios. Management and the Board of Directors also considers credit quality and trends relating to delinquency, nonperforming and classified loans within our loan portfolio when evaluating qualitative loss factors. Additionally, management and the Board of Directors adjusts qualitative factors to account for the potential impact of external economic factors, including the unemployment rate, vacancy, capitalization rates, commodity prices and other pertinent economic data specific to our primary market area and lending portfolios.

For the specific component, the allowance for loan losses is established for impaired loans. Management evaluates current information and events regarding a borrower’s ability to repay its obligations and considers a loan to be impaired when the ultimate collectability of amounts due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, is in doubt. If an impaired loan is collateral-dependent, the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated cost to sell, is used to determine the amount of impairment. If an impaired loan is not collateral-dependent, the impairment amount is determined using the negative difference, if any, between the estimated discounted cash flows and the loan amount due. For impaired loans, the amount of the impairment can be adjusted, based on current data, until such time as the actual basis is established by acquisition of the collateral or until the basis is collected. Impairment losses are reflected in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the provision for credit losses. Subsequent recoveries are credited to the allowance for loan losses. Cash receipts for accruing loans are applied to principal and interest under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Cash receipts on impaired loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are applied first to principal.

In accordance with acquisition accounting, loans acquired in our acquisitions were recorded at their estimated fair value, which resulted in a net discount to the loans contractual amounts, of which a portion reflects a discount for possible credit losses. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value and as a result no allowance for loan losses is recorded for acquired loans at the acquisition date. Although the discount recorded on the acquired loans is not reflected in the allowance for loan losses, or related allowance coverage ratios, we believe it should be considered when comparing the current ratios to similar ratios in periods prior to the acquisition. As of March 31, 2021, acquired loans, net of their discounts, totaled $91.9 million compared to $164.0 million at December 31, 2020, with the decrease due to the migration of acquired loans out of the discounted acquired loan portfolio. The remaining net discount on these acquired loans was $2.7 million and $3.3 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The $158.7 million balance of PPP loans was omitted from the calculation for the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2021 as these loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and management expects that the great majority of PPP borrowers will seek full or partial forgiveness of their loan obligations from the SBA within a short time frame, which in turn will reimburse the Bank for the amount forgiven.

The allowance for loan losses remained unchanged at $17.5 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Included in the carrying value of loans are net discounts on acquired loans which may reduce the need for an allowance for loan losses on these loans because they are carried at their estimated fair value on the date on which they were acquired.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company identified $10.6 million in impaired loans, inclusive of $9.8 million of nonperforming loans and $778,000 of accruing TDR loans. Of these impaired loans, only $3.9 million had a specific allowance of $626,000 as of March 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the Company identified $9.2 million in impaired loans, inclusive of $8.4 million of nonperforming loans and $798,000 of accruing TDR loans. Of these impaired loans, only $1.3 million had a specific allowance of $521,000 as of December 31, 2020.

Management considers the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2021 to be adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of the above-mentioned factors affecting the loan portfolio. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future losses will not exceed the amount of the established allowance for loan losses or that any increased allowance for loan losses that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Uncertainties relating to our allowance for loan losses are heightened as a result of the risks surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, including whether government programs will provide adequate relief to borrowers. The ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic. A further decline in national and local economic conditions, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors, could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank

regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in additions to our provision for loan losses based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets increased slightly $119,000, or 1.0%, to $12.2 million at March 31, 2021 from $12.1 million at December 31, 2020. Lease liabilities increased slightly $70,000, or 0.6%, to $12.4 million at March 31, 2021 from $12.3 million at December 31, 2020.

Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment decreased $157,000, or 1.0%, to $15.0 million at March 31, 2021 from $15.1 million at December 31, 2020. This decrease in premises and equipment was driven by amortization and depreciation expenses, partially offset by $235,000 for the installation of new ATMs equipment in branches.

Deposits. Deposits are our primary source of funding and consist of core deposits from the communities served by our branch and office locations. We offer a variety of deposit accounts with a competitive range of interest rates and terms to both consumers and businesses. Deposits include interest bearing and noninterest bearing demand accounts, savings, money market, certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. These accounts earn interest at rates established by management based on competitive market factors, management’s desire to increase certain product types or maturities, and in keeping with our asset/liability, liquidity and profitability objectives. Competitive products, competitive pricing and high touch client service are important to attracting and retaining these deposits.

Total deposits increased $89.6 million, or 4.9%, to $1.9 billion at March 31, 2021 from $1.8 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in deposits was primarily driven by organic growth in client relationships, proceeds from PPP loans and government stimulus checks deposited directly into customer accounts, and reduced withdrawals from deposit accounts due to a change in spending habits as a result of COVID-19. At March 31, 2021, noninterest bearing demand deposits totaled $726.1 million or 37.7% of total deposits, compared to $678.4 million or 36.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2020

The following table sets forth the dollar amount of deposits in the various types of deposit programs offer at the dates indicated.

Borrowings. Although deposits are our primary source of funds, we may from time to time utilize borrowings as a cost effective source of funds when they can be invested at a positive interest rate spread, for additional capacity to fund loan demand, or to meet our asset/liability management goals. We are a member of and may obtain advances from the FHLB of San Francisco, which is part of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The eleven regional Federal Home Loan Banks provide a central credit facility for their member institutions. These advances are provided upon the security of certain of our mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. 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. In May 2020, the Bank secured a $10.0 million advance from the FHLB of San Francisco, comprised of two $5.0 million tranches, at no cost, maturing in November 2020 and May 7, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the first tranche was repaid and the second tranche matures on May 7, 2021. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had the ability to borrow up to $429.1 million and $421.2 million, respectively, from the FHLB of San Francisco.

At March 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, net mark-to-market adjustments, totaling $8.3 million which were assumed in connection with our previous acquisitions. The Company issued $65.0 million of subordinated debt during the third quarter of 2020. At March 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding subordinated debt, net of cost to issue, totaling $63.4 million.

If needed, we may also utilize Fed Funds purchased from correspondent banks as a source of short-term funding. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had a total of $75.0 million in federal funds line available from third-party financial institutions and no balances outstanding at these dates.

We are required to provide collateral for certain local agency deposits. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the FHLB of San Francisco had issued a letters of credit on behalf of the Bank totaling $31.5 million and $30.1 million, respectively as collateral for local agency deposits.

Shareholders’ equity. Shareholders’ equity increased $2.0 million, or 0.8%, to $254.6 million at March 31, 2021 from $252.6 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020 was primarily due to net income of $4.5 million, partially offset by the repurchase of $2.2 million of our common stock and a $785,000 decrease in other comprehensive income representing a decrease in the unrealized gains on investments securities, net of tax. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company repurchased a total of 132,123 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $2.2 million, or $16.66 per share, leaving 512,143 shares available for future purchases under the current stock repurchase plan. On February 22, 2021, the Company adopted another stock repurchase plan for up to 560,000 shares of its common stock. For additional information see Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds”.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

Earnings summary. Net income was $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $1.7 million or 60.8%. The increase was the result of a $2.8 million decrease in noninterest expenses and a $1.7 million decrease in provision for loan losses, partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in net interest income, an increase of $538,000 in the provision for income taxes and a $341,000 decrease in noninterest income. Diluted earnings per share were $0.40 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $0.17 from diluted earnings per share of $0.23 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Acquisition-related expenses were none during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Our efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income before provision for loan losses plus noninterest income, was 69.31% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 74.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The improvement in the efficiency ratio was primarily due to the absence of acquisition-related expenses during the current quarter.

Interest income. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $20.3 million, compared to $22.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $2.2 million or 9.9%. The decrease in interest income, due to the low interest rate environment, more than offset the $195.8 million, or 10.3%, increase in average interest earning assets, primarily due to PPP loan originations. Interest income on loans, including fees, decreased $1.4 million, or 6.9%, primarily as a result of a 55 basis point decline in the average loan yield, partially offset by a $76.3 million increase in average balance of loans outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to this same period in 2020. The average yield on loans for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 4.79%, compared to 5.34% for the same period in 2020. Interest income on loans for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 included $675,000 and $1.6 million, respectively, in accretion of purchase accounting fair value adjustments on acquired loans. The remaining net discount on these acquired loans was $2.7 million and $7.1 million at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Interest income included $1.2 million in fees earned related to PPP loans in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to none during the same period in 2020. As of March 31, 2021, total unrecognized fees on PPP loans were $4.4 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, average PPP loans were $138.8 million and the average yield was 4.51%. The impact of PPP loans on loan yields will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments or amounts forgiven by the SBA as certain criteria are met, but will cease completely after the two-year maturity of the loans. Approximately two-thirds of the PPP loans are set to mature by the end of 2022, while the remaining loans have a five-year maturity date.

Interest income on interest bearing deposits decreased $740,000 to $119,000 as a result of a 142 basis point decrease in the yield on interest bearing deposits to 0.14% compared to 1.56% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 partially offset by $128.7 million increase in the average balance of interest bearing deposits.

Interest income on investment securities available-for-sale decreased slightly by $27,000 as a result of a $10.1 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities available-for-sale, partially offset by a 17 basis point increase in the average yield on investment securities to 2.72% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 2.55% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $265,000, or 10.8%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by a lower cost of funds, partially offset by interest expense on the subordinated debt issued in the third quarter of 2020. Total average interest bearing liabilities increased $79.5 million, or 6.8%, to $1.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Interest expense on deposits decreased $1.1 million, or 48.2%, to $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $2.3 million during this same period in 2020, primarily due to decreases in the targeted federal funds rate, earlier in 2020, and despite an increase in the average balance of deposits. The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased by 39 basis points to 0.42% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from 0.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The overall average cost of deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2021 declined to 0.26%, compared to 0.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 due to an increase in noninterest bearing deposits and a reduction in market interest rates over the last year. The average balance of noninterest bearing deposits increased $123.4 million, or 20.4%, to $702.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $602.8 million for the same period in 2020. The market’s response to lowering deposit pricing to reflect the targeted federal funds rate decreases over the past year typically lags declines in the yield on interest earning assets. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased by 13 basis points to 0.71% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from 0.84% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Interest expense on borrowings increased $857,000, or 685.8%, to $982,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $125,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as a result of the issuance of the subordinated debt on August 10, 2020, which currently has a 5.25% interest rate. The average balance of borrowings outstanding increased $59.1 million to $76.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $17.6 million during the comparable period in 2020. The average cost of borrowing increased to 5.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 2.84% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Net interest income. Net interest income decreased $1.9 million, or 9.9%, to $18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $20.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the current quarter, the net interest margin was impacted by lower yielding loans, including PPP loans and resetting adjustable rate instruments as well as reduced interest rates on new fixed-rate real estate loan and adjustable-rate commercial loan originations. PPP loans are originated at an interest rate of 1%, although the effective yield is higher as a result of the origination fees paid to us by the SBA. The average yield on PPP loans was 4.51%, including the recognition of deferred fees, resulting in a positive impact to the net interest margin of three basis points during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to no impact during the comparable quarter in 2020 as PPP loans were not being originated at that time. Accretion of acquisition accounting discounts on loans and the recognition of revenue from acquired loans in excess of discounts increased our net interest margin by 17 and 41 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The average yield on interest earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 3.91%, a 83 basis point decrease from 4.74% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, while the average cost of interest bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased to 0.71%, or 13 basis points from 0.84% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, due primarily to lower market interest rates.

Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields/Cost. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, information about (i) average balances, the total dollar amount of interest income from interest earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) average balances, the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest bearing liabilities and the resultant average yields; (iii) net interest income; (iv) the interest rate spread; and (v) the net interest margin. Yields have been calculated on a pre-tax basis. The loan yields include the effect of amortization or accretion of deferred loan fees/costs and purchase accounting premiums/discounts to interest and fees on loans.

Rate/Volume Analysis. Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as changes in weighted average interest rates. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income during the periods shown. Information is provided with respect to (i) effects on interest income attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate) and (ii) effects on interest income attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). Changes applicable to both volume and rate have been allocated to volume. Yields have been calculated on a pre-tax basis.

Provision for loan losses. We recorded no provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to a provision for loan losses of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily because of improvements in the economic forecast at March 31, 2021 as compared to the same quarter in 2020. The provision for loan losses recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 primarily reflected probable loan losses due to economic conditions driven by the impact of COVID-19 on the U.S. and global economies and to a lesser extent, the migration of acquired loans out of the discounted acquired loan portfolio. Net charge-offs were $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to net charge-offs of $13,000 during the same period in 2020. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.10% at March 31, 2021 compared to 0.56% at March 31, 2020.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income decreased $341,000, or 13.2%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in noninterest income for the current quarter compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to a $117,000 decrease in loan servicing fees and other fees a $101,000 decrease in service charges and other fees, as a result of lower transaction volumes in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to a lesser extent an $81,000 decrease in income from our investment in a SBIC fund and a $66,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense decreased $2.8 million, or 16.7%, to $14.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $16.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of $3.0 million of acquisition-related expenses, primarily data processing related expenses, during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Excluding the acquisition-related expenses, noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 2021 increased $185,000, compared to the first quarter of 2020. The increase was comprised of higher salaries and employee benefits of $443,000, partially offset by decreases in data processing expenses of $139,000 and miscellaneous expense of $123,000. The increase in salaries and benefits from the first quarter of 2020 was attributable to higher salaries related to the increase in personnel from the GMB Merger, higher equity incentive expenses and a decline in deferred salary costs due to lower new loan production.

The following table details the components of noninterest expense for the periods indicated:

Total noninterest expense	$	14,085	$	16,918	$	(2,833)	(16.7)	%

Income taxes. Income tax expense increased $538,000, or 46.1%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 reflecting fluctuations in the pre-tax income for the period. The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.3% for three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 29.3% for the same period in 2020. The increase in the income tax expense was due to increased taxable income with the slight decrease in the Company’s effective rate during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due to higher non-deductible merger-related expenses in 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Planning for our normal business liquidity needs, both expected and unexpected, is done on a daily and short-term basis through the cash management function. On a longer-term basis, it is accomplished through the budget and strategic planning functions, with support from internal asset/liability management software model projections.

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. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, escrow and custodial deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and proceeds from sale of loans. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash, short-term investments, including interest bearing demand deposits and securities available-for-sale. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.

Table of Contents

In addition to these primary sources of funds, management has several secondary sources available to meet potential funding requirements. To support the origination of PPP loans, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) authorized the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (the “PPPLF”) to supply liquidity to participating financial institutions through term financing on a non-recourse basis at a rate of 35 basis points, with PPP loans as collateral at face value. The maturity date of this extension of credit will equal the maturity date of the pledged PPP loan. The Bank has not utilized the PPPLF as we held a substantial cash and cash equivalent position at March 31, 2021. Further, as of March 31, 2021, the Bank had an available borrowing capacity of $429.1 million with the FHLB of San Francisco, and Federal Funds lines with available commitments totaling $75.0 million with four correspondent banks. There were no amounts outstanding under these facilities at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Additionally, the Company classifies its 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.

We use our sources of funds primarily to meet our ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits and fund withdrawals, and to fund loan commitments. Loan commitments and letters of credit were $98.9 million and $110.7 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and certificates of deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2021, totaled $202.7 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 most of our maturing certificates of deposit will remain with us.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $651,000, compared to $3.0 million of net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by investing activities was $70.4 million, which consisted primarily of net change in loans receivable, compared to $71.3 million of cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $87.4 million, which was comprised primarily of net change in deposits, compared to $53.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. At March 31, 2021, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had liquid assets of $45.3 million. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared, if any, to its shareholders, funds paid for Company stock repurchases, and payments on trust-preferred securities and subordinated notes held at the Company level. The Company has the ability to receive dividends or capital distributions from the Bank, although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends.

In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage clients’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, lines of credit and standby letters of credit. For additional information about our loan commitments, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit, see Note 18 - Commitment and Contingencies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1 - Financial Statements” within this report. We have not engaged in any other off-balance sheet transactions in the normal course of our lending activities.

Regulatory Capital

The Company is a bank holding company subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve, except that, pursuant to the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act, effective August 30, 2018, a bank holding company with consolidated assets of less than $3 billion is generally not subject to the Federal Reserve’s capital regulations.

Under the capital regulations, the minimum capital ratios are: (1) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio (“CET1 capital”) of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets; (2) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% of risk-weighted assets (“Tier 1 capital”); (3) a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets; and (4) a leverage ratio (the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average

Table of Contents

total consolidated assets) of 4.0%. CET1 capital generally consists of common stock, retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) unless an institution elects to exclude AOCI from regulatory capital, and certain minority interests (all of which are subject to applicable regulatory adjustments and deductions). Tier 1 capital generally consists of CET1 capital and noncumulative perpetual preferred stock. Tier 2 capital generally consists of other preferred stock and subordinated debt which meet certain conditions, plus an amount of the allowance for loan and lease losses up to 1.25% of assets. Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines of the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices and until August 30, 2018, BayCom Corp was subject to similar capital regulations. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tier 1 capital to total average assets (as defined), and minimum ratios of Tier 1 capital (as defined) and CET1 capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined).

Management reviews capital ratios on a regular basis to ensure that capital exceeds the prescribed regulatory minimums and is adequate to meet our anticipated future needs. As of March 31, 2021, the most recent regulatory notifications from the Federal Reserve categorized the Bank as “Well Capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes would have changed the category.

Table of Contents

The following is a summary of actual capital amounts and ratios as of the dates indicated, for the Company (assuming it was subject to regulatory capital requirements) and the Bank compared to the requirements for minimum capital adequacy and classification as Well Capitalized:

In addition to the minimum CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital, leverage ratio and total capital ratios, the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum risk-based capital levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, repurchasing shares, and paying discretionary bonuses. At March 31, 2021, the Bank’s CET1 capital exceeded the required capital conservation buffer.

Non-GAAP financial measures

This report contains certain financial information by methods other than GAAP. These measures include allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans, excluding PCI loans, acquired loans and PPP loans. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in its analysis of the Company’s

performance and in making business decisions. Management believes that presenting allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans excluding PCI, acquired loans and PPP loans is useful in assessing the credit quality of the Company’s core portfolio. These non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies.

Reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are presented as of the dates indicated:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk through our lending and deposit gathering activities. Our results of operations are highly dependent upon our ability to manage interest rate risk. We consider interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Interest rate risk is measured and assessed on a quarterly basis. For information regarding the Company’s market risk, see “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market and Interest Rate Risk,” in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“2020 Annual Report”). In our opinion, there has not been a material change in our interest rate risk exposure since the information disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) was carried out as of March 31, 2021 under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and several other members of the Company’s senior management. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

The Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that based on their evaluation at March 31, 2021, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to BayCom Corp’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by override of the control. The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
