“target,” “goal,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Our actual future results may differ materially from
those set forth in our forward-looking statements.
Our ability to achieve our financial objectives could be adversely affected by the factors discussed in detail in Part I, Item 2. “Management’s

CAPITAL CITY BANK GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 –
BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations
. Capital City Bank Group, Inc. (“CCBG” or the “Company”) provides a full range of banking and banking-
related services to individual and corporate clients through its subsidiary, Capital City Bank, with banking offices located in Florida,
Georgia, and Alabama. The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions, is subject to regulation by certain
government agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
Basis of Presentation
. The consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the accounts of CCBG
and its wholly owned subsidiary, Capital City Bank (“CCB” or the “Bank”). All material inter-company transactions and accounts
have been eliminated. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.
The consolidated statement of financial condition at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial
statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Acquisition.
April 30, 2021
, a newly formed subsidiary of CCBG, Capital City Strategic Wealth, LLC (“CCSW”) acquired
substantially all of the assets of Strategic Wealth Group, LLC and certain related businesses (“SWG”), including advisory, service,
and insurance carrier agreements, and the assignment of all related revenues thereof. Under the terms of the purchase agreement,
SWG principles became officers of CCSW and will continue the operation of their five offices in South Georgia offering wealth
management services and comprehensive risk management and asset protection services for individuals and businesses.

Accounting Standards Updates
ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848).
ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP
to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR
toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope
guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the
modification will be considered "minor" so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to
be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no
reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or re-measurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required
for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020-04 also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative
accounting. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2020-04 for
contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to
March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry
Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for
that Topic or Industry Subtopic. It is anticipated this ASU will simplify any modifications executed between the selected start date
(yet to be determined) and December 31, 2022 that are directly related to LIBOR transition by allowing prospective recognition of the
continuation of the contract, rather than extinguishment of the old contract resulting in writing off unamortized fees/costs. Further,
ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,”
clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in ASC 848 for
contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 also
amends the expedients and exceptions in ASC 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the
existing guidance to derivative instruments. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU and has not yet determined if this
ASU will have material effects on the Company’s business operations and consolidated financial statements.

The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), is required to own capital stock in the FHLB based
generally upon the balances of residential and commercial real estate loans and FHLB advances. FHLB stock, which is included in
equity securities, is pledged to secure FHLB advances. No ready market exists for this stock, and it has no quoted market value;
however, redemption of this stock has historically been at par value.
As a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the Bank is required to maintain stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
based on a specified ratio relative to the Bank’s capital. Federal Reserve Bank stock is carried at cost.
Maturity Distribution
. At June 30, 2021, the Company's investment securities had the following maturity distribution based on
contractual maturity. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or
prepay obligations. Mortgage-backed securities and certain amortizing U.S. government agency securities are shown separately
because they are not due at a certain maturity date.

At June 30, 2021, there were
150
1.5
145
positions were U.S. government agency securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities. The remaining
five
securities. Because the declines in the market value of these securities were attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit
quality, and because the Company had the ability and intent to hold these investments until there is a recovery in fair value, which
may be at maturity, the Company did
no
t record any allowance for credit losses on any investment securities at June 30, 2021.
Additionally,
no
ne of the securities held by the Company were past due or in nonaccrual status at June 30, 2021.
Credit Quality Indicators
The Company monitors the credit quality of its investment securities through various risk management procedures, including the
monitoring of credit ratings. A majority of the debt securities in the Company’s investment portfolio were issued by a U.S.
government entity or agency and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. The Company believes the
long history of no credit losses on these securities indicates that the expectation of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero,
even if the U.S. government were to technically default. Further, certain municipal securities held by the Company have been pre-
refunded and secured by government guaranteed treasuries. Therefore, for the aforementioned securities, the Company does not
assess or record expected credit losses due to the zero loss assumption. The Company monitors the credit quality of its municipal
securities portfolio via credit ratings which are updated on a quarterly basis. On a quarterly basis, municipal securities in an
unrealized loss position are evaluated to determine if the loss is attributable to credit related factors and if an allowance for credit loss
is needed.

Allowance for Credit Losses
. The allowance for credit losses is calculated in accordance with the current expected credit loss model,
ASC 326 (“CECL”), which was adopted on January 1, 2020. The allowance has two basic components: first, an asset-specific
component involving loans that do not share risk characteristics and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual
loans; and second, a pooled component for expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics. This
allowance methodology is discussed further in Note 1 – Business and Basis of Presentation/Significant Accounting Policies in the
Company’s 2020 Form 10-K.

The following table details the activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment. Allocation of a portion of the
allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

$0.9 million. Three unemployment rate forecast scenarios were utilized to estimate probability of default and were weighted based on
management’s estimate of probability. The mitigating impact of the unprecedented fiscal stimulus as well as various government
sponsored loan programs, was also considered. See Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies for information on the allowance for
off-balance sheet credit commitments.

Nonaccrual Loans
. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status if principal or interest payments become 90 days past due and/or
management deems the collectability of the principal and/or interest to be doubtful. Loans are returned to accrual status when the
principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current or when future payments are reasonably assured.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans in nonaccrual status and loans past due over 90 days and still on accrual
by class of loans.

A loan is collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is dependent on the
sale or operation of the underlying collateral.
The Bank’s collateral dependent loan portfolio is comprised primarily of real estate secured loans, collateralized by either residential
or commercial collateral types. The loans are carried at fair value based on current values determined by either independent appraisals
or internal evaluations, adjusted for selling costs or other amounts to be deducted when estimating expected net sales proceeds.

Credit Risk Management
. The Company has adopted comprehensive lending policies, underwriting standards and loan review
procedures designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management and the Board of Directors review and
approve these policies and procedures on a regular basis (at least annually).
Reporting systems are used to monitor loan originations, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming
loans and potential problem loans. Management and the Credit Risk Oversight Committee periodically review our lines of business to
monitor asset quality trends and the appropriateness of credit policies. In addition, total borrower exposure limits are established and
concentration risk is monitored. As part of this process, the overall composition of the portfolio is reviewed to gauge diversification
of risk, client concentrations, industry group, loan type, geographic area, or other relevant classifications of loans. Specific segments
of the loan portfolio are monitored and reported to the Board on a quarterly basis and have strategic plans in place to supplement
Board approved credit policies governing exposure limits and underwriting standards. Detailed below are the types of loans within
the Company’s loan portfolio and risk characteristics unique to each.
Commercial, Financial, and Agricultural – Loans in this category are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower
with consideration given to underlying collateral and personal or other guarantees. Lending policy establishes debt service coverage
ratio limits that require a borrower’s cash flow to be sufficient to cover principal and interest payments on all new and existing debt.
The majority of these loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable, inventory, or
equipment. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. Loan to value ratios at origination are
governed by established policy guidelines.
16
Real Estate Construction – Loans in this category consist of short-term construction loans, revolving and non-revolving credit lines
and construction/permanent loans made to individuals and investors to finance the acquisition, development, construction or
rehabilitation of real property. These loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower or project and generally
secured by the property being financed, including 1-4 family residential properties and commercial properties that are either owner-
occupied or investment in nature. These properties may include either vacant or improved property. Construction loans are generally
based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project. Collateral values are determined based upon third
party appraisals and evaluations. Loan to value ratios at origination are governed by established policy guidelines. The disbursement
of funds for construction loans is made in relation to the progress of the project and as such these loans are closely monitored by on-
site inspections.
Real Estate Commercial Mortgage – Loans in this category consists of commercial mortgage loans secured by property that is either
owner-occupied or investment in nature. These loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower or project
with consideration given to underlying real estate collateral and personal guarantees. Lending policy establishes debt service
coverage ratios and loan to value ratios specific to the property type. Collateral values are determined based upon third party
appraisals and evaluations.
Real Estate Residential – Residential mortgage loans held in the Company’s loan portfolio are made to borrowers that demonstrate the
ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting factors such as current income, employment status, current
assets, and other financial resources, credit history, and the value of the collateral. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on 1-4 family
residential properties. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations. The Company does not
originate sub-prime loans.
Real Estate Home Equity – Home equity loans and lines are made to qualified individuals for legitimate purposes generally secured
by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied 1-4 family homes or vacation homes. Borrower qualifications include
favorable credit history combined with supportive income and debt ratio requirements and combined loan to value ratios within
established policy guidelines. Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations.
Consumer Loans – This loan portfolio includes personal installment loans, direct and indirect automobile financing, and overdraft
lines of credit. The majority of the consumer loan portfolio consists of indirect and direct automobile loans. Lending policy
establishes maximum debt to income ratios, minimum credit scores, and includes guidelines for verification of applicants’ income and
receipt of credit reports.
Credit Quality Indicators
. As part of the ongoing monitoring of the Company’s loan portfolio quality, management categorizes loans
into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial
information, historical payment performance, credit documentation, and current economic and market trends, among other
factors. Risk ratings are assigned to each loan and revised as needed through established monitoring procedures for individual loan
relationships over a predetermined amount and review of smaller balance homogenous loan pools. The Company uses the definitions
noted below for categorizing and managing its criticized loans. Loans categorized as “Pass” do not meet the criteria set forth below
and are not considered criticized.
Special Mention – Loans in this category are presently protected from loss, but weaknesses are apparent which, if not corrected, could
cause future problems. Loans in this category may not meet required underwriting criteria and have no mitigating factors. More than
the ordinary amount of attention is warranted for these loans.
Substandard – Loans in this category exhibit well-defined weaknesses that would typically bring normal repayment into jeopardy.
These loans are no longer adequately protected due to well-defined weaknesses that affect the repayment capacity of the
borrower. The possibility of loss is much more evident and above average supervision is required for these loans.
Doubtful – Loans in this category have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan categorized as Substandard, with the characteristic that
the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly
questionable and improbable.
Performing/Nonperforming – Loans within certain homogenous loan pools (home equity and consumer) are not individually reviewed,
but are monitored for credit quality via the aging status of the loan and by payment activity. The performing or nonperforming status
is updated on an on-going basis dependent upon improvement and deterioration in credit quality.

NOTE 4 – MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES
The Company’s mortgage banking activities at its subsidiary Capital City Homes Loans (“CCHL”) include mandatory delivery loan
sales, forward sales contracts used to manage residential loan pipeline price risk, utilization of warehouse lines to fund secondary
market residential loan closings, and residential mortgage servicing. For the six month period of 2020, information provided below
reflects CCHL activities for the period March 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 and CCB legacy residential real estate activities for the period
January 1, 2020 to March 1, 2020. All quarterly information subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2020 includes CCHL activity.
Residential Mortgage Loan Production
The Company originates, markets, and services conventional and government-sponsored residential mortgage loans. Generally,
conforming fixed rate residential mortgage loans are held for sale in the secondary market and non-conforming and adjustable-rate
residential mortgage loans may be held for investment. The volume of residential mortgage loans originated for sale and secondary
market prices are the primary drivers of origination revenue.
Residential mortgage loan commitments are generally outstanding for 30 to 90 days, which represents the typical period from
commitment to originate a residential mortgage loan to when the closed loan is sold to an investor. Residential mortgage loan
commitments are subject to both credit and price risk. Credit risk is managed through underwriting policies and procedures, including
collateral requirements, which are generally accepted by the secondary loan markets. Price risk is primarily related to interest rate
fluctuations and is partially managed through forward sales of residential mortgage-backed securities (primarily to-be announced
securities, or TBAs) or mandatory delivery commitments with investors.
The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans held for sale, notional amounts of derivative contracts related to residential
mortgage loan commitments and forward contract sales and their related fair values are set- forth below.

Conforming conventional loans serviced by the Company are sold to FNMA on a non-recourse basis, whereby foreclosure losses are
generally the responsibility of FNMA and not the Company. The government loans serviced by the Company are secured through
GNMA, whereby the Company is insured against loss by the Federal Housing Administration or partially guaranteed against loss by
the Veterans Administration. At June 30, 2021, the servicing portfolio balance consisted of the following loan types: FNMA (
62
%),
GNMA (

pledged as collateral under the above warehouse lines of credit and master repurchase agreements. The above agreements also contain
covenants which include certain financial requirements, including maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquid
assets, maximum debt to net worth ratio and positive net income, as defined in the agreements. The Company was in compliance with
all significant debt covenants at June 30, 2021.
The Company intends to renew the warehouse lines of credit and master repurchase agreements when they mature .
The Company has extended a $

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVES
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the
receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s
derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or
expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s subordinated debt.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $
30
debt. Under the swap arrangement, the Company will pay a fixed interest rate of
2.50
% and receive a variable interest rate based on
three-month LIBOR plus a weighted average margin of
1.83
%.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during
which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives
will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate subordinated debt.

NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-time and eligible part-time associates and a
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) and a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan II (“SERP II”) covering its
executive officers. The defined benefit plan was amended in December 2019 to remove plan eligibility for new associates hired after
December 31, 2019. The SERP II was adopted by the Company’s Board on May 21, 2020 and covers certain executive officers that
were not covered by the SERP.
The components of the net periodic benefit cost for the Company's qualified benefit pension plan were as follows:

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lending Commitments
. The Company is a party to financial instruments with off -balance sheet risks in the normal course of business
to meet the financing needs of its clients. These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
credit.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss under standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit is represented by
the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in establishing commitments and issuing
letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amounts associated with the Company’s off-balance sheet
obligations were as follows:

Commitments include unfunded loans, revolving lines of credit, and off-balance sheet residential loan commitments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since
many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third
party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities. In
general, management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of participating in these types of transactions. However, any
potential losses arising from such transactions are reserved for in the same manner as management reserves for its other credit
facilities.
For both on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments, the Company requires collateral to support such instruments when it is
deemed necessary. The Company evaluates each client’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may
include deposits held in financial institutions; U.S. Treasury securities; other marketable securities; real estate; accounts receivable;
property, plant and equipment; and inventory.
24
The allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit commitments that are not unconditionally cance llable by the bank is
adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense and is recorded in other liabilities. The following table shows the activity in the
allowance.

Contingencies
. The Company is a party to lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. In management's opinion,
there are no known pending claims or litigation, the outco me of which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect
on the consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company.
Indemnification Obligation
. The Company is a member of the Visa U.S.A. network. Visa U.S.A member banks are required to
indemnify the Visa U.S.A. network for potential future settlement of certain litigation (the “Covered Litigation”) that relates to several
antitrust lawsuits challenging the practices of Visa and MasterCard International. In 2008, the Company, as a member of the Visa
U.S.A. network, obtained Class B shares of Visa, Inc. upon its initial public offering. Since its initial public offering, Visa, Inc. has
funded a litigation reserve for the Covered Litigation resulting in a reduction in the Class B shares held by the Company. During the
first quarter of 2011, the Company sold its remaining Class B shares. Associated with this sale, the Company entered into a swap
contract with the purchaser of the shares that requires a payment to the counterparty in the event that Visa, Inc. makes subsequent
revisions to the conversion ratio for its Class B shares.
Fixed charges included in the swap liability are payable quarterly until the litigation reserve is fully liquidated and at which time the
aforementioned swap contract will be terminated. Quarterly fixed payments approximate $
205,000
. Conversion ratio payments and
ongoing fixed quarterly charges are reflected in earnings in the period incurred.
NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly
transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or
liability. In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income
approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for
valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
●
Level 1 Inputs -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the
ability to access at the measurement date
.
●
Level 2 Inputs -
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or
liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from, or
corroborated, by market data by correlation or other means
.
●
Level 3 Inputs -
Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity's own
assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Securities Available for Sale.
U.S. Treasury securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. Other securities classified as
available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements
from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market
spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, credit information and the bond’s terms
and conditions, among other things.
25
In general, the Company does not purchase securities that have a complicated structure. The Company’s entire portfolio consists of
traditional investments, nearly all of which are U.S. Treasury obligations, federal agency bullet or mortgage pass-through securities, or
general obligation or revenue-based municipal bonds. Pricing for such instruments is easily obtained. At least annually, the Company
will validate prices supplied by the independent pricing service by comparing them to prices obtained from an independent third-party
source.
Loans Held for Sale
. The fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale based on Level 2 inputs is determined, when possible,
using either quoted secondary-market prices or investor commitments. If no such quoted price exists, the fair value is determined
using quoted prices for a similar asset or assets, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan, which would be used by other market
participants. The Company has elected the fair value option accounting for its held for sale loans.
Mortgage Banking Derivative Instruments.
The fair values of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are derived by valuation
models incorporating market pricing for instruments with similar characteristics, commonly referred to as best execution pricing, or
investor commitment prices for best effort IRLCs which have unobservable inputs, such as an estimate of the fair value of the
servicing rights expected to be recorded upon sale of the loans, net estimated costs to originate the loans, and the pull-through rate,
and are therefore classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of forward sale commitments is based on
observable market pricing for similar instruments and are therefore classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Interest Rate Swap.
The Company’s derivative positions are classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and are valued using
models generally accepted in the financial services industry and that use actively quoted or observable market input values from
external market data providers. The fair value derivatives are determined using discounted cash flow models.
Fair Value Swap
. The Company entered into a stand-alone derivative contract with the purchaser of its Visa Class B shares. The
valuation represents the amount due and payable to the counterparty based upon the revised share conversion rate, if any, during the
period.

Mortgage Banking Activities
. The Company had Level 3 issuances and transfers related to mortgage banking activities of $
27.4
million and $
19.3
14.6
19.4
respectively, for the period March 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020. Issuances are valued based on the change in fair value of the underlying
mortgage loan from inception of the IRLC to the balance sheet date, adjusted for pull-through rates and costs to originate . IRLCs
transferred out of Level 3 represent IRLCs that were funded and moved to mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value.
Assets Measured at Fair Val ue on a Non-Recurring Basis
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis (i.e., the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis
but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances). An example would be assets exhibiting evidence of impairment.
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured on a non-recurring basis.
Collateral Dependent Loans
. Impairment for collateral dependent loans is measured using the fair value of the collateral less selling
costs. The fair value of collateral is determined by an independent valuation or professional appraisal in conformance with banking
regulations. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs due to the volatility in the real estate market, and the judgment and
estimation involved in the real estate appraisal process. Collateral dependent loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly
basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior
periods. Collateral-dependent loans had a carrying value of $
4.7
0.6
and $
7.1
0.1
27
Other Real Estate Owned
. During the first six months of 2021, certain foreclosed assets, upon initial recognition, were measured and
reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of the foreclosed asset less
estimated cost to sell. The fair value of the foreclosed asset is determined by an independent valuation or professional appraisal in
conformance with banking regulations. On an ongoing basis, we obtain updated appraisals on foreclosed assets and realize valuation
adjustments as necessary. The fair value of foreclosed assets is estimated using Level 3 inputs due to the judgment and estimation
involved in the real estate valuation process.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
. Residential mortgage loan servicing rights are evaluated for impairment at each reporting period based
upon the fair value of the rights as compared to the carrying amount. Fair value is determined by a third party valuation model using
estimated prepayment speeds of the underlying mortgage loans serviced and stratifications based on the risk characteristics of the
underlying loans (predominantly loan type and note interest rate). The fair value is estimated using Level 3 inputs, including a
discount rate, weighted average prepayment speed, and the cost of loan servicing. Further detail on the key inputs utilized are
provided in Note 4 – Mortgage Banking Activities. At June 30, 2021, there was
no

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Management’s discussion and analysis ("MD&A") provides supplemental information, which sets forth the major factors that have
affected our financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes. The following information should provide a better understanding of the major factors and trends that
affect our earnings performance and financial condition, and how our performance during 2021 compares with prior years.
Throughout this section, Capital City Bank Group, Inc., and subsidiaries, collectively, is referred to as "CCBG," "Company," "we,"
"us," or "our."
CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD -LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this MD&A section, contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about our
beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are
subject to change based on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. The words "may," "could," "should," "would,"
"believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "target," "goal," and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Our actual future results may differ materially
from those set forth in our forward-looking statements. Please see the Introductory Note and
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Report on Form 10-K, as updated in our subsequent quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q, and in our other filings made from time to
time with the SEC after the date of this report.
However, other factors besides those listed in our Quarterly Report or in our Annual Report also could adversely affect our results,
and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. Any forward-looking
statements made by us or on our behalf speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking
statement, except as required by applicable law.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a financial holding company headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, and we are the parent of our wholly owned subsidiary,
Capital City Bank (the "Bank" or "CCB"). The Bank offers a broad array of products and services through a total of 57 full-service
offices located in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. The Bank offers commercial and retail banking services, as well as trust and asset
management, retail securities brokerage, and life insurance. We offer residential mortgage banking services through Capital City
Home Loans.
Our profitability, like most financial institutions, is dependent to a large extent upon net interest income, which is the difference
between the interest and fees received on earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest paid on interest-bearing
liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by the provision for credit losses, noninterest
income such as deposit fees, wealth management fees, mortgage banking fees and bank card fees, and operating expenses such as
salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, and other operating expenses, including income taxes.
A detailed discussion regarding the economic conditions in our markets and our long-term strategic objectives is included as part of
the MD&A section of our 2020 Form 10-K.
Acquisitions
On March 1, 2020, CCB completed its acquisition of a 51% membership interest in Brand Mortgage Group, LLC (“Brand”) which is
now operated as a Capital City Home Loans (“CCHL”). CCHL was consolidated into CCBG’s financial statements effective March
1, 2020. See Note 1 – Business Combination in the 2020 Form 10-K in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
On April 30, 2021, a newly formed subsidiary of CCBG, Capital City Strategic Wealth, LLC (“CCSW”), completed its acquisition of
substantially all of the assets of Strategic Wealth Group, LLC and certain related businesses (“SWG”). CCSW was consolidated into
CCBG’s financial statements effective May 1, 2021. See Note 1 – Business and Basis of Presentation.

RESPONSE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The ongoing global and local responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and the new Delta variant continue to impact our clients and
associates as they adjust to the changing conditions presented by the pandemic. The pandemic has adversely impacted a broad range
of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and could still impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the
Company. In addition, although our associates have generally been available and working during the pandemic, COVID-19 and the
current Delta variant surge have the potential to create widespread business continuity issues for the Company.
Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve have taken and continue to take actions designed to cushion the economic fallout.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law at the end of March 2020 as a $2 trillion
legislative package. The goal of the CARES Act was to curb the economic downturn through various measures, including direct
financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors through programs like the
Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") and Main Street Lending Program (“MSLP”). During December 2020, many provisions of the
CARES Act were extended through the end of 2021. In addition to the general impact of COVID-19, certain provisions of the
CARES Act as well as other recent legislative and regulatory relief efforts have had a material impact on the Company’s 2020 and
2021 operations and could continue to impact operations going forward.
The Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its associates and clients to conduct banking and other
financial transactions. While it appeared that epidemiological and macroeconomic conditions were trending in a positive direction in
the first quarter of 2021, if the Delta variant continues to cause case counts to trend higher in our markets, the Company could
experience further adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. While it is not possible to
know the full universe or extent that the impact of COVID-19’s variants, and any potential resulting measures to curtail their spread,
will have on the Company’s future operations, we discuss potential impacts on our financial performance in more detail throughout
parts of the MD&A section. To protect the health of our clients and associates and comply with applicable government directives, we
have modified our business practices as noted belo w.
●

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We present a tangible common equity ratio and a tangible book value per diluted share that, in each case, reduces shareowners’ equity
and total assets by the amount of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets resulting from merger and acquisition activity. We
believe these measures are useful to investors because it allows investors to more easily compare our capital adequacy to other
companies in the industry, although the manner in which we calculate non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other
companies reporting non-GAAP measures with similar names . The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation for each quarter presented on
page 31 is provided below.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Results of Operations
Performance Summary.
Net income of $7.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to net
income of $9.5 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021, and $9.1 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the
second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, net income totaled $16.9 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, compared to net
income of $13.4 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the same period of 2020. Net income for the second quarter of 2021 included
a partial pension settlement charge of $2.0 million (pre-tax), or $0.10 per diluted share (after-tax).
Net Interest Income.
Tax-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2021 was $26.1 million compared to $24.6 million
for the first quarter of 2021 and $25.6 million for the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, tax-equivalent net
interest income totaled $50.7 million compared to $51.4 million for the same period of 2020. Loan growth and higher SBA PPP loan
fees drove the improvement over the first quarter of 2021. For the six month period, the decrease generally reflected lower rates
earned on investment securities and variable/adjustable rate loans partially offset by higher SBA PPP loan fees and lower interest
expense.
Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses.
Provision for credit losses was a negative $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2021
compared to a negative provision of $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2021 and provision expense of $2.0 million for the second
quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, we recorded a negative provision of $1.6 million compared to provision expense of
$7.0 million for the same period of 2020. The negative provision for the first half of 2021 generally reflected improving economic
conditions and strong net loan recoveries.
Noninterest Income.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $26.5 million compared to $29.8 million for the first
quarter of 2021 and $30.2 million for the second quarter of 2020. The aforementioned declines were primarily due to lower mortgage
banking revenues at CCHL, but were partially offset by improvements in wealth management fees and bank card fees. For the first six
months of 2021, noninterest income totaled $56.3 million compared to $45.7 million for the same period of 2020 with the increase
driven by the addition of CCHL mortgage banking revenues late in the first quarter of 2020, and strong growth in bank card fees and
wealth management fees.
Noninterest Expense.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $42.1 million compared to $40.5 million for the first
quarter of 2021 and $37.3 million for the second quarter of 2020. The $1.6 million increase over the first quarter of 2021 reflected a
$2.0 million partial pension settlement charge that was partially offset by lower commission expense at CCHL and lower legal fees
and other real estate owned (“OREO”) expense at CCB. Compared to the prior year periods, the increase was primarily attributable to
the aforementioned partial pension settlement charge , lower realized loan cost, higher pension plan expense (driven by a lower
discount rate for plan liabilities), and performance based compensation. Additionally, the increase for the six month period included
operating expenses of CCHL from March 1, 2020 forward.
Financial Condition
Earning Assets.
Average earning assets were $3.624 billion for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $126.0 million, or 3.6%,
over the first quarter of 2021, and an increase of $286.5 million, or 8.6% over the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase over both prior
periods was primarily driven by higher deposit balances, which funded growth in both overnight funds sold and the investment
portfolio. Deposit balances increased as a result of strong core deposit growth, in addition to funding retained at the bank from SBA
PPP loans, and various other stimulus programs.
Loans
. Average loans held for investment (“HFI”) decreased $7.6 million, or 0.4%, from the first quarter of 2021 and increased $43.3
million, or 2.2%, over the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding SBA PPP loans, average core loans grew $54.4 million and $90.4 million
over both respective periods and period end loans grew $74.3 million and $97.7 million over both respective periods. Growth in
period end loans was driven primarily in the commercial mortgage, indirect, and construction categories. At June 30, 2021, SBA PPP
loan balances totaled $79.9 million and remaining deferred SBA PPP net loan fees totaled $3.5 million.
Credit Quality
. Nonaccrual loans totaled $5.1 million (0.25% of HFI loans) at June 30, 2021 compared to $5.4 million (0.26% of HFI
loans) at March 31, 2021 and $5.9 million (0.29 % of HFI loans) at December 31, 2020. Classified loans totaled $19.4 million, $20.6
million, and $17.6 million at the same respective periods.
Deposits
. Average total deposits increased $147.8 million, or 4.6%, over the first quarter of 2021, and $321.2 million, or 10.5%, over
the fourth quarter of 2020. Over the past 12 months, multiple government stimulus programs have been implemented, including the
CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act, which are responsible for a portion of this growth.
Capital
. At June 30, 2021, we were well-capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of 16.48% and a tangible common equity
ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) of 6.19% compared to 17.20% and 6.13%, respectively, at March 31, 2021 and 17.30% and
6.25%, respectively, at December 31, 2020. At June 30, 2021, all of our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the threshold to be well-
capitalized under the Basel III capital standards.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents our single largest source of earnings and is equal to interest income and fees generated by earning
assets less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. This information is provided on a "taxable equivalent" basis to reflect
the tax-exempt status of income earned on certain loans and state and local government debt obligations. We provide an analysis of
our net interest income including average yields and rates in Table I on page 44.
Tax-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $26.1 million compared to $24.6 million for the first quarter
of 2021 and $25.6 million for the second quarter of 2020. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, the increase reflected higher SBA
PPP loan fees of $0.7 million, higher loan interest of $0.5 million driven by loan growth, and higher investment securities income of
$0.2 million, which reflected deployment of excess overnight funds into the investment portfolio. Compared to the second quarter of
2020, the increase was driven by higher SBA PPP loan fees of $1.3 million partially offset by lower interest earned on investment
securities and variable/adjustable rate loans. For the first six months of 2021, tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $50.7 million
compared to $51.4 million for the same period of 2020. The decrease generally reflected lower rates earned on investment securities
and variable/adjustable rate loans partially offset by higher SBA PPP loan fees and lower interest expense.
Our net interest margin for the second quarter of 2021 was 2.89%, an increase of three basis points over the first quarter of 2021 and a
decrease of 52 basis points from the second quarter of 2020. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, the increase was driven by higher
SBA PPP loan fees. Compared to the second quarter of 2020, the decrease was primarily attributable to downward re-pricing of
earning assets and significant growth in overnight funds (driven by deposit inflows), which negatively impacts our margin percentage.
For the first six months of 2021, the net interest margin decreased 72 basis points to 2.87% generally reflective of downward re-
pricing of our earning assets (variable/adjustable rate loans and securities portfolio) partially offset by a lower cost of funds and higher
SBA PPP loan fees. Our net interest margin for the second quarter of 2021, excluding the impact of overnight funds in excess of
$200 million, was 3.46%.
Due to highly competitive fixed-rate loan pricing in our markets, we continue to review our loan pricing and make adjustments where
we believe appropriate and prudent.

Provision for Credit Losses
We recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to a negative provision of
$1.0 million for the first quarter of 2021 and provision expense of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months
of 2021, we recorded a negative provision of $1.6 million compared to provision expense of $7.0 million for the same period of 2020.
The negative provision for the first half of 2021 generally reflected improving economic conditions and strong net loan recoveries
totaling $0.9 million. We discuss the allowance for credit losses further below. For more information on charge-offs and recoveries,
see Note 3 – Loans Held for Investment and Allowance for Credit Losses.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $26.5 million compared to $29.8 million for the first quarter of 202 1 and
$30.2 million for the second quarter of 2020. The primary reason for the aforementioned declines were primarily due to lower
mortgage banking revenues at CCHL, but were partially offset by improvements in wealth management fees and bank card fees. The
decline in mortgage banking fees reflected lower production volume (primarily re-finance activity) and a lower gain on sale margin.
For the first six months of 2021, noninterest income totaled $56.3 million compared to $45.7 million for the same period of 2020 with
the increase driven by the addition of CCHL mortgage banking revenues late in the first quarter of 2020, and higher bank card fees
and wealth management fees which grew $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
Noninterest income represented 50.5% of operating revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income) in the second quarter of
2021 compared to 54.9% in the first quarter of 2021 and 54.3% in the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021,
noninterest income represented 52.7% of operating revenues compared to 47.1% for the same period of 2020.
The table below reflects the major components of noninterest income.

Significant components of noninterest income are discussed in more detail below.
Mortgage Banking Revenues.
Mortgage banking revenues totaled $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $17.1
million for the first quarter of 2021 and $19.4 million for the second quarter of 2020. For the six months of 2021, revenues totaled
$30.3 million compared to $22.7 million for the same period of 2020. Lower production volume and gain on sale margin drove the
decline from the first quarter of 2021 and a lower gain on sale margin was the primary reason for the decline versus the second quarter
of 2020. The increase over the six month period of 2020 reflected the addition of CCHL mortgage banking revenues late in the first
quarter of 2020 and overall higher production volume reflective of the significant reduction in interest rates.
Deposit Fees
. Deposit fees for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $4.2 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.8%, from the first
quarter of 2021, and an increase of $0.5 million, or 12.8%, over the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, deposit
fees totaled $8.5 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 3.0%, from the same period of 2020. Compared to all prior periods, the
variances were driven by the utilization of our overdraft service which has been volatile during the pandemic given the timing of
various stimulus payments to consumers over the past 12 months and higher monthly service charge fees.
Bank Card Fees
. Bank card fees for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $4.0 million, a $0.4 million, or 10.5%, increase over the first
quarter of 2021, and a $0.9 million, or 27.2%, increase over the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, bank card
fees totaled $7.6 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 23.0%, over the same period of 2020. Compared to all prior periods, the
improvement reflected higher card activity driven by increased consumer spending, which we believe is reflective of the economic
recovery.
35
Wealth Management Fees
. Wealth management fees, which include both trust fees (i.e., managed accounts and trusts/estates) and
retail brokerage fees (i.e., investment, insurance products, and retirement accounts) totaled $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2021,
a $0.2 million, or 6.0%, increase over the first quarter of 2021 and a $0.7 million, or 28.2%, increase over the second quarter of 2020.
For the first six months of 2021, wealth management fees totaled $6.4 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 23.4%, over the same
period of 2020. The favorable variances versus all prior periods reflected higher assets under management and increased trading
activity by our retail brokerage clients. At June 30, 2021, total assets under management were approximately $2.190 billion compared
to $1.979 billion at December 31, 2020 and $1.750 billion at June 30, 2020.
Other.
Other income for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $1.7 million, comparable to the first quarter of 2021, and $0.4 million, or
29.5%, over the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, other income totaled $3.5 million, an increase of $0.6
million, or 19.4%, over the same period of 2020. The increase over both prior year periods was primarily attributable to loan servicing
fees added as part of the CCHL acquisition.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $42.1 million compared to $40.5 million for the first quarter of 2021 and
$37.3 million for the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, noninterest expense totaled $82.6 million compared to
$68.3 million for the same period of 2020. The $1.6 million increase over the first quarter of 2021 reflected a $2.0 million partial
pension settlement charge (due to a high level of lump sum pay-outs) that was partially offset by lower commission expense at CCHL
and lower legal fees and other real estate owned (“OREO”) expense at CCB. Compared to the prior year periods, the increase was
primarily attributable to the aforementioned partial pension settlement charge, lower realized loan cost (credit offset to salary
expense), higher pension plan expense (driven by a lower discount rate for plan liabilities), and performance based compensation.
Additionally, the increase for the first half of 2021 reflects the inclusion of CCHL expenses for a full six month period versus only
four months in 2020.

Significant components of noninterest expense are discussed in more detail below.
Compensation
. Compensation expense totaled $25.4 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $26.1 million for the first
quarter of 2021 and $23.7 million for the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, compensation expense totaled
$51.4 million compared to $43.4 million for the same period of 2020. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, the decrease is due to
lower commission expense at CCHL (lower production volume) of $0.9 million, payroll taxes of $0.4 million (primarily related to
2020 annual bonuses paid in January, 2021), and cash incentive expense of $0.4 million, partially offset by higher associate insurance
expense (utilization of self-funded plan reserves in first quarter of 2021) of $0.6 million and lower realized loan cost (credit offset to
salaries – primarily related to lower SBA loan production ) of $0.4 million. Compared to the second quarter of 2020, the increase was
primarily attributable to lower realized loan cost (credit offset to salaries – primarily related to lower SBA loan production) of $0.9
million, and higher pension plan expense (service cost) of $0.3 million, and base salaries (merit raises) of $0.5 million. The increase
for the six month period was primarily due to the addition of CCHL compensation (primarily commission expense) beginning March
1, 2020 as core CCBG compensation expense remained essentially flat.
Occupancy
. Occupancy expense totaled $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2021 comparable to the first quarter of 2021 and $5.8
million for the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, occupancy expense totaled $12.0 million compared to $10.8
million for the same period of 2020. The increase for the six month period was primarily due to the addition of CCHL occupancy
costs beginning March 1, 2020 as well as higher expense at core CCBG reflective of increased FF&E depreciation related to increase
technology investment.
Other
. Other noninterest expense totaled $10.8 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $8.4 million for the first quarter of
2021 and $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, other noninterest expense totaled $19.2 million
compared to $14.1 million for the same period of 2020. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, the increase was primarily attributable
to a $2.0 million partial pension plan settlement charge related to higher lump sum pay-outs which triggered settlement accounting.
Compared to the second quarter of 2020 the increase was also attributable to the aforementioned pension settlement charge as well as
higher expense for our current year defined benefit pension cost of $0.6 million (due to a lower discount rate utilized for determining
the 2021 plan year expense), and higher processing fees of $0.3 million (reflective of higher debit card volume). The increase for the
six month period was primarily due to the addition of CCHL expenses beginning in March 1, 2020 and to a lesser extent higher
expenses at core CCBG, including processing fees (higher debit card volume), legal/professional (related to the SWG and CCHL
acquisitions), FDIC insurance expense (related to higher level of assets), and OREO expense (attributable to lower OREO sales gains).
Our operating efficiency ratio (expressed as noninterest expense as a percentage of the sum of taxable-equivale nt net interest income
plus noninterest income) was 80.18% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 74.36% for the first quarter of 2021 and 66.90% for
the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, this ratio was 77.22% compared to 70.30% for the same period of 2020.

Income Taxes
We realized income tax expense of $2.1 million (effective rate of 19%) for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $2.8 million
(effective rate of 19%) for the first quarter of 2021 and $2.9 million (effective rate of 18%) for the second quarter of 2020. For the
first six months of 2021, we realized income tax expense of $4.8 million (effective rate of 19%) compared to $4.2 million (effective
rate of 20%) for the same period of 2020. Absent discrete items, we expect our annual effective tax rate to approximate 18%-19% for
the remainder of 2021.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Average earning assets totaled $3.624 billion for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $126.0 million, or 3.6%, over the first
quarter of 2021, and an increase of $286.5 million, or 8.6%, over the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase over both prior periods was
primarily driven by higher deposit balances, which funded growth in both overnight funds sold and the investment portfolio. Deposit
balances increased as a result of strong core deposit growth, in addition to funding retained at the bank from SBA PPP loans, and
various other stimulus programs.
Investment Securities
In the second quarter of 2021, our average investment portfolio increased $158.7 million, or 29.8%, over the first quarter of 2021 and
increased $173.6 million, or 33.5%, over the fourth quarter of 2020. Our investment portfolio represented 19.1% of our average
earning assets for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 15.5% for the fourth quarter of 2020, and 20.1% for the second quarter of
2020. During the second quarter of 2021, we initiated a buy program to add to our investment portfolio as part of our overall balance
sheet management. For the remainder of 2021, we will continue to monitor our overall liquidity position and look for opportunities to
purchase additional investment securities that align with our overall investment strategy.
The investment portfolio is a significant component of our operations and, as such, it functions as a key element of liquidity and
asset/liability management. Two types of classifications are approved for investment securities which are Available -for-Sale (“AFS”)
and Held-to-Maturity (“HTM”). During the second quarter of 2021, we purchased securities under the AFS designation. At June 30,
2021, $480.9 million, or 59.6%, of our investment portfolio was classified as AFS, and $325.6 million, or 40.4%, classified as HTM.
The average maturity of our total portfolio at June 30, 2021 was 3.34 years compared to 2.78 years and 2.09 years at March 31, 2021
and December 31, 2020, respectively.
38
We determine the classification of a security at the time of acquisition based on how the purchase will affect our asset/liability strategy
and future business plans and opportunities. We consider multiple factors in determining classification, including regulatory capital
requirements, volatility in earnings or other comprehensive income, and liquidity needs. Securities in the AFS portfolio are recorded
at fair value with unrealized gains and losses associated with these securities recorded net of tax, in the accumulated other
comprehensive income component of shareowners’ equity. HTM securities are acquired or owned with the intent of holding them to
maturity. HTM investments are measured at amortized cost. We do not trade, nor do we presently intend to begin trading investment
securities for the purpose of recognizing gains and therefore we do not maintain a trading portfolio.
At June 30, 2021, there were 150 positions (combined AFS and HTM) with unrealized losses totaling $1.5 million at June 30, 2021.
Of these 150 positions, 145 are U.S. government agency securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities which carry the full
faith and credit guarantee of the US Government and are 0% risk-weighted assets for regulatory purposes. The remaining five
positions are municipal bonds with a minimum credit rating of “A”. None of these positions with unrealized losses are considered
impaired, and all are expected to mature at par. Further, we believe the long history of no credit losses on these securities indicates
that the expectation of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is zero.
Loans HFI
Average loans held for investment (HFI) decreased $7.6 million, or 0.4%, from the first quarter of 2021 and increased $43.3 million,
or 2.2%, over the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding SBA PPP loans, average core loans grew $54.4 million and $90.4 million over
both respective periods and period end loans grew $74.3 million and $97.7 million over both respective periods. Growth in period end
loans was driven primarily in the commercial mortgage, indirect, and construction categories. At June 30, 2021, SBA PPP loan
balances totaled $79.9 million and remaining deferred SBA PPP net loan fees totaled $3.5 million. SBA PPP loan forgiveness
applications are expected to remain strong for the remainder of 2021.
Without compromising our credit standards , changing our underwriting standards, or taking on inordinate interest rate risk, we
continue to closely monitor our markets and make minor adjustments as necessary.
Credit Quality
Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and OREO, “NPAs” ) totaled $6.3 million at June 30, 2021, a $0.8 million increase from
March 31, 2021, and a $0.4 million decrease from December 31, 2020. Nonaccrual loans totaled $5.1 million (0.25% of HFI loans) at
June 30, 2021 compared to $5.4 million (0.26 % of HFI loans) at March 31, 2021 and $6.8 million (0. 29% of HFI loans) at December
31, 2020. For additional metrics on NPAs see the Asset Quality section of the Selected Quarterly Financial Data table. For more
information on nonaccrual loans see Note 3 – Loans Held for Investment and Allowance for Credit Losses. The balance of OREO
totaled $1.2 million at June 30, 2021, an increase of $1.1 million over March 31, 2021 and a $0.3 million increase over December 31,
2020. A significant portion of the increase in ORE is attributable to an office property, which was under contract and moved to ORE
late in the second quarter.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount
expected to be collected on the loans. The allowance for credit losses is adjusted by a credit loss provision which is reported in
earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries. Loans are charged off against the allowance when
management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts
previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Expected credit loss inherent in non-cancellable off -balance sheet credit
exposures is provided through the credit loss provision, but recorded as a separate liability included in other liabilities.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources relating to past
events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical loan default and loss experience provides the basis for
the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information incorporate management’s view of current
conditions and forecasts.
39
At June 30, 2021, the allowance for credit losses for loans HFI totaled $22.2 million compared to $22.0 million at March 31, 2021 and
$23.8 million at December 31, 2020. Activity within the allowance is detailed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. The
$0.2 million net increase in the allowance for the second quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable to net loan recoveries totaling $0.3
million. For the first half of 2021, the $1.6 million net decrease in the allowance reflected net loan recoveries of $0.9 million and
lower expected losses related to COVID-19, partially offset by core loan growth (ex-SBA PPP). At June 30, 2021, the allowance
represented 1.10% of loans HFI and provided coverage of 434% of nonperforming loans compared to 1.19% and 406%, respectively,
at December 31, 2020. At June 30, 2021, excluding SBA PPP loans (100% government guaranteed), the allowance represented 1.15%
of loans HFI compared to 1.30% at December 31, 2020.
At June 30, 2021, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments totaled $2.6 million compared to $3.0 million at March
31, 2021 and $1.6 million at December 31, 2020. The allowance for unfunded commitments is recorded in other liabilities.
Deposits
Average total deposits were $3.387 billion for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $147.8 million, or 4.6%, over the first quarter
of 2021 and $321.2 million, or 10.5%, over the fourth quarter of 2020. The strongest growth over both comparable periods occurred
in our noninterest bearing deposits and savings account balances. Average public deposits in the second quarter 2021 increased
compared to the fourth quarter 2020, but declined compared to the first quarter 2021 due to the seasonality of these deposits. Over the
past 12 months, multiple government stimulus programs have been implemented, including those under the CARES Act and the
American Rescue Plan Act, which are responsible for a large part of the growth in average deposits. Given these increases, the
potential exists for our deposit levels to be volatile for the remainder of 2021 due to the uncertain timing of the outflows of the
stimulus related balances and the economic recovery. It is anticipated that current liquidity levels will remain robust due to our strong
overnight funds sold position.
We monitor deposit rates on an ongoing basis and adjust if necessary, as a prudent pricing discipline remains the key to managing our
mix of deposits.
MARKET RISK AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Overview.
Market risk management arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. We
have risk management policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk and do not participate in activities that give rise to
significant market risk involving exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices. Our risk management policies are primarily
designed to minimize structural interest rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk Management.
Our net income is largely dependent on net interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to
interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature or re-price on a different basis than interest -earning assets. When
interest-bearing liabilities mature or re-price more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in
market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or re-price more
quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net interest income. Net interest income is
also affected by changes in the portion of interest-earning assets that are funded by interest-bearing liabilities rather than by other
sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and shareowners’ equity.
We have established a comprehensive interest rate risk management policy, which is administered by management’s Asset/Liability
Management Committee (“ALCO”). The policy establishes risk limits, which are quantitative measures of the percentage change in
net interest income (a measure of net interest income at risk) and the fair value of equity capital (a measure of economic value of
equity (“EVE”) at risk) resulting from a hypothetical change in interest rates for maturities from one day to 30 years. We measure the
potential adverse impacts that changing interest rates may have on our short-term earnings, long-term value, and liquidity by
employing simulation analysis through the use of computer modeling. The simulation model is designed to capture optionality factors
such as call features and interest rate caps and floors imbedded in investment and loan portfolio contracts. As with any method of
analyzing interest rate risk, there are certain shortcomings inherent in the interest rate modeling methodology that we use. When
interest rates change, actual movements in different categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, loan
prepayments, and withdrawals of time and other deposits, may deviate significantly from the assumptions that we use in our modeling.
Finally, the methodology does not measure or reflect the impact that higher rates may have on variable and adjustable-rate loan
clients’ ability to service their debts, or the impact of rate changes on demand for loan and deposit products.
We prepare a current base case and several alternative simulations at least once per quarter and present the analysis to ALCO, with the
risk metrics also reported to the Board of Directors. In addition, more frequent forecasts may be produced when interest rates are
particularly uncertain or when other business conditions so dictate.
40
Our interest rate risk management goal is to maintain expected changes in our net interest income and capital levels due to fluctuations
in market interest rates within acceptable limits. Management attempts to achieve this goal by balancing, within policy limits, the
volume of variable-rate liabilities with a similar volume of variable-rate assets, by keeping the average maturity of fixed-rate asset and
liability contracts reasonably matched, by maintaining our core deposits as a significant component of our total funding sources and by
adjusting rates to market conditions on a continuing basis.
We test our balance sheet using varying interest rate shock scenarios to analyze our interest rate risk. Average interest rates are
shocked by plus or minus 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points (“bp”), although we may elect not to use particular scenarios that we
determined are impractical in a current rate environment. It is management’s goal to structure the balance sheet so that net interest
earnings at risk over 12-month and 24-month periods, and the economic value of equity at risk, do not exceed policy guidelines at the
various interest rate shock levels.
We augment our interest rate shock analysis with alternative external interest rate scenarios on a quarterly basis. These alternative
interest rate scenarios may include non-parallel rate ramps.
Analysis
.
Measures of net interest income at risk produced by simulation analysis are indicators of an institution’s short-term
performance in alternative rate environments. These measures are typically based upon a relatively brief period and do not necessarily
indicate the long-term prospects or economic value of the institution.

The Net Interest Income at Risk position indicates that in the short-term, all rising rate environments will positively impact the net
interest margin of the Company, while a declining rate environment of 100bp will have a negative impact on the net interest margin.
The 12-month Net Interest Income at Risk position became less favorable in all rate scenarios primarily due to lower PPP fees for the
year-over-year comparison. Compared to the prior quarter-end, the 24-month Net Interest Income at Risk position became slightly
more favorable in rates down 100 bps and rates up 100 bps due to investment purchases during the quarter, and slightly less favorable
in rate scenarios of rates up 200 bps or more as the balance sheet is less asset sensitive due to these asset purchases. As an intended
result of the $500 million investment strategy during the quarter, the Bank has become slightly less asset sensitive, and has slightly
less risk to the rates down scenario.
All measures of Net Interest Income at Risk in rising rate environments are within our prescribed policy limits over the next 12 -month
and 24-month periods. We are out of compliance in the down 100bp scenario for the 24-month period due to our limited ability to
lower our deposit rates relative to the decline in market rates.
The measures of equity value at risk indicate our ongoing economic value by considering the effects of changes in interest rates on all
of our cash flows, and discounting the cash flows to estimate the present value of assets and liabilities. The difference between the
aggregated discounted values of the assets and liabilities is the economic value of equity, which, in theory, approximates the fair value
of our net assets.

(1) Down 200, 300, and 400 bp scenarios have been excluded due to the low interest rate environment.
(2) For the rates down 100 bp scenario, the high negative percentage change is due to a negative value assigned to our nonmaturity
deposits. Since we believe our nonmaturity deposits are highly valued core franchise deposits, we run an alternate EVE
calculation which caps the projected value of our nonmaturity deposits at their book value.
In the alternate EVE scenario where
the value of our nonmaturity deposits are capped at their book value, both our EVE and our EVE Ratio are within policy
guidelines.
At June 30, 2021, the economic value of equity results are favorable in all rising rate environments and are within prescribed tolerance
levels. The EVE Ratio (EVE/EVA) was 6.4% for the second quarter 2021, which is within policy limits. EVE metrics became more
favorable in the rates down scenario reflecting the deployment of additional funds in the investment portfolio and utilization of and a
lower cost of acquiring and maintaining deposits, which was incorporated into the model in the second quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
In general terms, liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet our cash needs. Our objective in managing our liquidity is to
maintain our ability to meet loan commitments, purchase securities or repay deposits and other liabilities in accordance with their
terms, without an adverse impact on our current or future earnings. Our liquidity strategy is guided by policies that are formulated and
monitored by our ALCO and senior management, which take into account the marketability of assets, the sources and stability of
funding and the level of unfunded commitments. We regularly evaluate all of our various funding sources with an emphasis on
accessibility, stability, reliability and cost-effectiveness. Our principal source of funding has been our client deposits, supplemented
by our short-term and long-term borrowings, primarily from securities sold under repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased and
FHLB borrowings. We believe that the cash generated from operations, our borrowing capacity and our access to capital resources are
sufficient to meet our future operating capital and funding requirements.
At June 30, 2021, we had the ability to generate $1.248 billion in additional liquidity through all of our available resources (this
excludes $767 million in overnight funds sold). In addition to the primary borrowing outlets mentioned above, we also have the
ability to generate liquidity by borrowing from the Federal Reserve Discount Window and through brokered deposits. We recognize
the importance of maintaining liquidity and have developed a Contingent Liquidity Plan, which addresses various liquidity stress
levels and our response and action based on the level of severity. We periodically test our credit facilities for access to the funds, but
also understand that as the severity of the liquidity level increases that certain credit facilities may no longer be available. We conduct
a liquidity stress test on a quarterly basis based on events that could potentially occur at the Bank and report results to ALCO, our
Market Risk Oversight Committee, Risk Oversight Committee, and the Board of Directors. At June 30, 2021, we believe the liquidity
available to us was sufficient to meet our on-going needs and execute our business strategy.
We view our investment portfolio primarily as a source of liquidity and have the option to pledge the portfolio as collateral for
borrowings or deposits, and/or sell selected securities. The portfolio primarily consists of debt issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S.
governmental and federal agencies, and municipal governments. The weighted average life of the portfolio was approximately 3.34
years at June 30, 2021, and the available for sale portfolio had a net unrealized pre-tax gain of $1.2 million.
Our average overnight funds position (defined deposits with banks plus Fed funds sold less Fed funds purchased) was $818.6 million
in the second quarter of 2021 compared to an average net overnight funds sold position of $814.6 million in the first quarter of 2021
and $705.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase compared to both prior periods was driven by deposit inflows related to
pandemic related stimulus programs and growth in our core deposits (see
Deposits
).
We expect our capital expenditures will be approximately $7.0 million over the next 12 months, which will primarily consist of office
remodeling, office equipment/furniture, and technology purchases. Management expects that these capital expenditures will be
funded with existing resources without impairing our ability to meet our on-going obligations.
Borrowings
At June 30, 2021, average short term borrowings totaled $51.2 million compared to $67.0 million at March 31, 2021 and $95.3 million
at December 31, 2020. The variance over both prior periods was attributable to the fluctuation of residential mortgage warehouse
borrowings at CCHL. Additional detail on these borrowings is provided in Note 4 – Mortgage Banking Activities in the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
42
At June 30, 2021, fixed rate credit advances from the FHLB totaled $1.8 million in outstanding debt consisting of five notes. During
the first six months of 2021, the Bank made FHLB advance payments totaling approximately $0.4 million, which included one
advance that paid off, and another that matured. We did not obtain any new FHLB advances during this period. The FHLB notes are
collateralized by a blanket floating lien on all of our 1-4 family residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans, and
home equity mortgage loans.
We have issued two junior subordinated deferrable interest notes to our wholly owned Delaware statutory trusts. The first note for
$30.9 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust I in November 2004, of which $10 million was retired in April 2016. The second
note for $32.0 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust II in May 2005. The interest payment for the CCBG Capital Trust I
borrowing is due quarterly and adjusts quarterly to a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.90%. This note matures
on December 31, 2034. The interest payment for the CCBG Capital Trust II borrowing is due quarterly and adjusts quarterly to a
variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.80%. This note matures on June 15, 2035. The proceeds from these
borrowings were used to partially fund acquisitions. Under the terms of each junior subordinated deferrable interest note, in the event
of default or if we elect to defer interest on the note, we may not, with certain exceptions, declare or pay dividends or make
distributions on our capital stock or purchase or acquire any of our capital stock. We continue to evaluate the impact of the expected
discontinuation of LIBOR on our two junior subordinated deferrable interest notes.
During the second quarter of 2020, we entered into a derivative cash flow hedge of our interest rate risk related to our subordinated
debt. The notional amount of the derivative is $30 million ($10 million of the CCBG Capital Trust I borrowing and $20 million of the
CCBG Capital Trust II borrowing). The interest rate swap agreement requires CCBG to pay fixed and receive variable (Libor plus
spread) and has an average all-in fixed rate of 2.50% for 10 years. Additional detail on the interest rate swap agreement is provided in
Note 5 – Derivatives in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Capital
Our capital ratios are presented in the Selected Quarterly Financial Data table on page 31. At June 30, 2021, our regulatory capital
ratios exceeded the threshold to be designated as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards.
Shareowners’ equity was $335.9 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $324.4 million at March 31, 2021 and $320.8 million at
December 31, 2020 and. For the first six months of 2021, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net income of $16.9
million, a $0.9 million increase in fair value of the interest rate swap related to subordinated debt, net adjustments totaling $1.0 million
related to transactions under our stock compensation plans, stock compensation accretion of $0.4 million, and reclassification of $1.2
million from temporary equity to decrease the redemption value of the non-controlling interest in CCHL. In addition, $1.6 million
was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to pension expense in conjunction with partial pension settlement charge
reflected in earnings, therefore, the charge had no net effect on equity. Shareowners’ equity was reduced by common stock dividends
of $5.1 million ($0.30 per share) and a $1.8 million decrease in the unrealized gain on investment securities.
At June 30, 2021, our common stock had a book value of $19.87 per diluted share compared to $19.22 at March 31, 2021 and $19.05
at December 31, 2020. Book value is impacted by the net after-tax unrealized gains and losses on AFS investment securities. At June
30, 2021, the net gain was $0.9 million compared to a $1.2 million net gain at March 31, 2021 and a $2.7 million net gain at December
31, 2020. Book value is also impacted by the recording of our unfunded pension liability through other comprehensive income in
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715. At June 30, 2021, the net pension liability reflected in other
comprehensive loss was $45.6 million compared to $47.1 million at March 31, 2021 and $47.2 million at December 31, 2020. This
liability is re-measured annually on December 31
st
used in calculating the liability are discussed in our 2020 Form 10-K “Critical Accounting Policies” and include the weighted average
discount rate used to measure the present value of the pension liability, the weighted average expected long-term rate of return on
pension plan assets, and the assumed rate of annual compensation increases, all of which will vary when re-measured. The discount
rate assumption used to calculate the pension liability is subject to long-term corporate bond rates at December 31
st
. The estimated
impact to the pension liability based on a 25-basis point increase or decrease in long-term corporate bond rates used to discount the
pension obligation would decrease or increase the pension liability by approximately $6.6 million (after-tax) using the balances from
the December 31, 2020 measurement date.
43
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our
clients.
At June 30, 2021, we had $772.0 million in commitments to extend credit and $6.6 million in standby letters of credit. Commitments
to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future
cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a client to a
third party. We use the same credit policies in establishing commitments and issuing letters of credit as we do for on-balance sheet
instruments.
If commitments arising from these financial instruments continue to require funding at historical levels, management does not
anticipate that such funding will adversely impact our ability to meet our on-going obligations. In the event these commitments
require funding in excess of historical levels, management believes current liquidity, advances available from the FHLB and the
Federal Reserve, and investment security maturities provide a sufficient source of funds to meet these commitments.
Certain agreements provide that the commitments are unconditionally cancellable by the bank and for those agreements no allowance
for credit losses has been recorded. We have recorded an allowance for credit losses on loan commitments that are not
unconditionally cancellable by the bank, which is included in other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition and
totaled $2.6 million at June 30, 2021.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2020 Form 10-K.
The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statement s in accordance with GAAP and reporting practices applicable to the banking
industry requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,
and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We have identified accounting for (i) the allowance for credit losses, (ii) valuation of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets,
(iii) pension benefits, and (iv) income taxes as our most critical accounting policies and estimates in that they are important to the
portrayal of our financial condition and results, and they require our subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to make
estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. These accounting policies, including the nature of the estimates
and types of assumptions used, are described throughout this Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, and Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations included in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
See “Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, above, which is incorporated herein by reference. Management has determined that no additional disclosures are
necessary to assess changes in information about market risk that have occurred since December 31, 2020.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
At June 30, 2021, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that, as of the end of the period covered by this report these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has reviewed our internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). During the quarter ended on June 30, 2021, other
than the above, there have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently
completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
