Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

FVCBankcorp, Inc. (the Company), a Virginia corporation, was formed in 2015 and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia. The Company conducts its business activities through the branch offices of its wholly owned subsidiary bank, FVCbank (the Bank). The Company exists primarily for the purposes of holding the stock of its subsidiary, the Bank.

The Bank was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia to engage in a general banking business serving the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas. The Bank commenced operations on November 27, 2007 and is a member of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). It is subject to the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and the State Corporation Commission of Virginia. Consequently, it undergoes periodic examinations by these regulatory authorities.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and follow general practice within the banking industry. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry.

Risks and Uncertainties

The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which our customers operate and could impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to us. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic indicating that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The spread of the outbreak has caused significant disruptions to the U.S. economy and has disrupted banking and other financial activity in the areas in which we operate. While there has been no material impact to our employees to date, COVID-19 could also potentially create widespread business continuity issues for us.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Continued)

The U.S. Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout. Most notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Stability Act (the CARES Act) was signed into law at the end of March 2020 as a $2 trillion legislative package. The goal of the CARES Act is to prevent a severe economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors. The package also includes extensive emergency funding for hospitals and providers. 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 are expected to have a material impact on our operations.

Our business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of our employees and customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. If the global response to contain COVID-19 escalates further or is unsuccessful, we could experience a material adverse effect on our 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, and resulting measures to curtail its spread, will have on our operations, we are aware of the following items that are potentially material to us and our operations.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our interest income could be reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, we are actively working with COVID-19 affected borrowers to defer their payments, interest, and fees. While interest and fees will still accrue to income, through normal GAAP accounting, should eventual credit losses on these deferred payments emerge, interest income and fees accrued would need to be reversed. In such a scenario, interest income in future periods could be negatively impacted. At this time, we are unable to project the materiality of such an impact, but recognize the breadth of the economic impact may affect our borrowers' ability to repay in future periods.

Our fee income could be reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, we are actively working with COVID-19 affected customers to waive fees from a variety of sources, such as, but not limited to, insufficient funds and overdraft fees, ATM fees, account maintenance fees, etc. These reductions in fees are thought, at this time, to be temporary in conjunction with the length of the expected COVID-19 related economic crisis. At this time, we are unable to project the materiality of such an impact, but recognize the breadth of the economic impact is likely to impact our fee income in future periods.

Capital and Liquidity

While we believe that we have sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by COVID-19, our regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by future credit losses. We rely on cash on hand as well as dividends from our subsidiary bank to service our debt when necessary. If our capital deteriorates such that our subsidiary bank is unable to pay dividends to us for an extended period of time, we may not be able to service our debt.

We maintain access to multiple sources of liquidity. Wholesale funding markets have remained open to us, but rates for short term funding have recently been volatile. If funding costs are elevated for an extended period of time, it could have an adverse effect on our net interest margin. If an extended recession caused large numbers of our deposit customers to withdraw their funds, we might become more reliant on volatile or more expensive sources of funding.

Asset Valuation

Currently, we do not expect COVID-19 to affect our ability to account timely for the valuation of assets on our balance sheet; however, this could change in future periods. While certain valuation assumptions and judgments will change to account for pandemic-related circumstances such as widening credit spreads, we do not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with GAAP.

COVID-19 could cause a further and sustained decline in our stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform a goodwill impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that we conclude that all or a portion of our goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital.

It is possible that the lingering effects of COVID-19 could cause the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform an intangible asset impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that we conclude that all or a portion of our intangible assets are impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital.

As part of our annual assessment of our goodwill and other intangible assets, we are engaging a third party specialist to perform an independent valuation during the fourth quarter of 2020.

Processes, Controls and Business Continuity Plan

We have invoked our Board approved Pandemic Preparedness Plan that includes a remote working strategy. We do not anticipate incurring additional material cost related to our continued deployment of the remote working strategy. No material operational or internal control challenges or risks have been identified to date. We do not anticipate significant challenges to our ability to maintain our systems and controls in light of the measures we have taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We do not currently face any material resource constraint through the implementation of our business continuity plans.

Lending Operations and Accommodations to Borrowers

In keeping with regulatory guidance to work with borrowers during this unprecedented situation and as outlined in the CARES Act, we are executing a payment deferral program for our commercial lending clients that are adversely affected by the pandemic. Depending on the demonstrated need of the client, we are deferring either the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment generally for 90 days. During the first and second quarters of 2020, we modified 277 loans for a total outstanding principal balance of $360.2 million, or 24.4% of the total loan portfolio. As of October 31, 2020, remaining payment deferred loans totaled $37.6 million, or 2.5% of the total loan portfolio, comprising 22 loans. As of October 31, 2020, those customers that requested a second 90-day deferral had a total outstanding principal balance of $19.9 million, representing 12 loans. In accordance with interagency guidance issued in March 2020, these short term deferrals are not considered troubled debt restructurings (TDRs).

With the passage of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), we actively participated in assisting our customers with applications for resources through the program. The majority of the PPP loans we originated have a two-year term and earn interest at 1%. We believe that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. As of September 30, 2020, we have closed or approved with the SBA 755 PPP loans representing $170.3 million in funding, net of deferred fees. It is our understanding that loans funded through the PPP are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government and therefore, we have not included an allowance for loan losses for these

loans. Should those circumstances change, we could be required to establish additional allowance for loan losses through a charge to earnings.

Credit

We are working with customers directly affected by COVID-19. We are prepared to offer short-term assistance in accordance with regulatory guidelines. As a result of the current economic environment caused by the COVID-19 virus, we are engaging in more frequent communications with borrowers to better understand their situation and the challenges faced, allowing us to respond proactively as needs and issues arise. Should economic conditions worsen, we could experience further increases in our required allowance for loan losses and record additional provision for loan loss expense. It is possible that our asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The amendments in this ASU, among other things, require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The FASB has issued multiple updates to ASU 2016-13 as codified in Topic 326, including ASUs 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-10, 2019-11, 2020-02, and 2020-03. These ASUs have provided for various minor technical corrections and improvements to the codification as well as other transition matters. Smaller reporting companies who file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), such as the Company, and all other entities who do not file with the SEC are required to apply the guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company has identified a third party vendor to assist in the measurement of expected credit losses under this standard. The implementation committee has completed the data collection process, validated the data inputs, and is in the initial phases of evaluating various allowance methodologies for certain loan segments within the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company is currently evaluating the implementation of ASU 2016-13 due to the change in implementation dates for smaller reporting companies.

Effective November 25, 2019, the SEC adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 119. SAB 119 updated portions of SEC interpretative guidance to align with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses." It covers topics including (1) measuring current expected credit losses; (2) development, governance, and documentation of a systematic methodology; (3) documenting the results of a systematic methodology; and (4) validating a systematic methodology.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." The ASU is expected to reduce cost and complexity related to the accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions to general principles in Topic 740 (eliminating the need for an organization to analyze whether certain exceptions apply in a given period) and improving financial statement preparers' application of certain income tax-related guidance. This ASU is part of the FASB's simplification initiative to make narrow-scope simplifications and improvements to accounting standards through a series of short-term projects. For public business entities, such as the Company, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.” The ASU is based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and is expected to increase comparability in accounting for these transactions. ASU 2016-01 made targeted improvements to accounting for financial instruments, including providing an entity the ability to measure certain equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Among other topics, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting. For public business entities, such as the Company, the amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” These amendments provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. To facilitate an orderly transition from interbank offered rates (IBORs) and other benchmark rates to alternative reference rates (ARRs), the Company has established an enterprise-wide initiative led by senior management. The objective of this initiative is to identify, assess and monitor risks associated with the expected discontinuation or unavailability of benchmarks, including LIBOR, achieve operational readiness and engage impacted clients in connection with the transition to ARRs. The Company is assessing ASU 2020-04 and its impact on the Company’s transition away from LIBOR for its loan and other financial instruments.

On March 12, 2020, the SEC finalized amendments to the definitions of its "accelerated filer" and "large accelerated filer" definitions. The amendments increase the threshold criteria for meeting these filer classifications and are effective on April 27, 2020. Any changes in filer status are to be applied beginning with the filer's first annual report filed with the SEC subsequent to the effective date. Prior to these changes, the Company was required to comply with section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act concerning auditor attestation over internal control over financial reporting as an "accelerated filer" as it had more than $75 million in public float but less than $700 million at the end of the Company's most recent second quarter. The rule change expands the definition of "smaller reporting companies" to include entities with public float of less than $700 million and less than $100 million in annual revenues. The Company expects to meet this expanded category of small reporting company and will no longer be considered an accelerated filer. If the Company's annual revenues exceed $100 million, its category will change back to "accelerated filer". The classifications of "accelerated filer" and "large accelerated filer" require a public company to obtain an auditor attestation concerning the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) and include the opinion on ICFR in its annual report on Form 10-K. Smaller reporting companies also have additional time to file quarterly and annual financial statements. All are required to obtain and file annual financial statement audits, as well as provide management's assertion on effectiveness of ICFR, but the external auditor attestation of ICFR is not required for smaller reporting companies. As the Company has total assets exceeding $1.0 billion, it remains subject to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act, which requires an auditor attestation concerning ICFR. As such, other than the additional time provided to file quarterly and annual financial statements, this change does not significantly change the Company’s annual reporting and audit requirements.

In March 2020 (Revised in April 2020), various regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve and the FDIC (the agencies), issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by COVID-19. The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications. Under ASC 310-40, “Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” a restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. Depending on the demonstrated need of the client, the Company is deferring either the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment generally for 90 days. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has executed 277 of these deferrals on outstanding loan balances of $360.2 million.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. In addition, the amendment updates the disclosure requirements for convertible instruments to increase the information transparency. For public business entities, excluding smaller reporting companies, the amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable fees and Other Costs.” This ASU clarifies that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of ASC paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted. All entities should apply ASU No. 2020-08 on a prospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption for existing or newly purchased callable debt securities. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-08 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The following table shows fair value and gross unrealized losses, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The reference point for determining when securities are in an unrealized loss position is month-end. Therefore, it is possible that a security’s market value exceeded its amortized cost on other days during the past twelve-month period. Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position are as follows:


	Less Than 12 Months				12 Months or Longer				Total
(In thousands)	Fair		Unrealized		Fair		Unrealized		Fair		Unrealized
At September 30, 2020	Value		Losses		Value		Losses		Value		Losses

Total	$	28,468	$	(192)	$	31,504	$	(376)	$	59,972	$	(568)

Corporate bonds: The unrealized losses on the investments in corporate bonds were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. One of these investments carries an S&P investment grade rating of BBB+, while one has a rating of BB. The remaining nine investments do not carry a rating.

The amortized cost and fair value of securities as of September 30, 2020, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without penalties.


	Held-to-maturity				Available-for-sale
	Amortized		Fair		Amortized		Fair

After 10 years		—		—		74,661		77,554
Total	$	264	$	274	$	107,448	$	110,919

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, proceeds from principal repayments of securities were $23.5 million and $14.9 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, proceeds from calls and maturities of securities were $1.0 million. There were gross realized gains of approximately $141,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 resulting from the sale of available-for-sale securities with a book value of approximately $13.1 million. There were no realized losses on the sale of securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, proceeds from calls and maturities of securities were $2.5 million and gross realized gains were approximately $3,000. There were no realized losses on the sale of securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Pass — Loans listed as pass include larger non-homogeneous loans not meeting the risk rating definitions below and smaller, homogeneous loans not assessed on an individual basis.

Special Mention — Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard — Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the enhanced possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful — Loans classified as doubtful include those loans which have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently known facts, conditions and values, improbable.

Loss — Loans classified as loss include those loans which are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted. Even though partial recovery may be achieved in the future, it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off these loans.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans was as follows as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The Company 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 experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes, larger non-homogeneous loans such as commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. At September 30, 2020, the Company had $14.3 million in loans identified as special mention within the originated loan portfolio, a decrease of $2.7 million from December 31, 2019. Special mention rated loans are loans that have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. These loans do not have a specific reserve and are considered well-secured. At September 30, 2020, the Company had $15.2 million in loans identified as substandard within the originated loan portfolio, an increase of $5.3 million from December 31, 2019. Substandard rated loans are loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. For each of these substandard loans, an impairment analysis is completed. As of September 30, 2020, specific reserves on originated and acquired loans totaling $456 thousand, has been allocated within the allowance for loan losses to supplement any shortfall of collateral.

Past due and nonaccrual loans presented by loan class were as follows at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Note 4.Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements (swap agreements) to facilitate the risk management strategies needed in order to accommodate the needs of its banking customers. The Company mitigates the risk of entering into these loan agreements by entering into equal and offsetting swap agreements with highly-rated third party financial institutions. These back-to-back swap agreements are free-standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets (asset positions are included in other assets and liability positions are included in other liabilities) as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparty; however, the Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all swap agreements, as well as collateral, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Parties to a centrally cleared over-the-counter derivative exchange daily payments that reflect the daily change in value of the derivative. These payments, commonly referred to as variation margin, are recorded as settlements of the derivatives’ mark-to-market exposure rather than collateral against the exposures, which effectively results in any centrally cleared derivative having a Level 2 fair value that approximates zero on a daily basis, and therefore, these swap agreements were not included in the offsetting table in the Fair Value Measurement section. As of September 30, 2020, the Company entered into 21 interest rate swap agreements which are collateralized with $15.8 million in cash. There were 17 interest rate swap agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2019 which were collateralized with $6.1 million in cash.

Interest Rate Risk Management—Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

The Company uses FHLB advances and other wholesale funding from time to time as a source of funds for use in the Company's lending and investment activities and other general business purposes. This wholesale funding exposes the Company to increased interest rate risk as a result of the variability in cash flows (future interest payments). The Company believes it is prudent to reduce this interest rate risk. To meet this objective, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements whereby the Company reduces the interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable rate advances (or other wholesale funding) from the designation date and going through the maturity date.

At September 30, 2020, the information pertaining to outstanding interest rate swap agreements used to hedge variability in cash flows for its FHLB advances (which is included in other borrowed funds on the consolidated balance sheet) and a portion of its wholesale deposits (which is included in total deposits on the consolidated balance sheet) is as follows:

Unrealized loss relating to interest rate swaps	$	(809)

These agreements provided for the Company to receive payments determined by a specific index (three month LIBOR) in exchange for making payments at a fixed rate. At September 30, 2020, the unrealized loss relating to interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variability of cash flows associated with FHLB advances and wholesale deposits are reported in other comprehensive income. These amounts are subsequently reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the advance affects earnings. The Company measures cash flow hedging relationships for effectiveness on a monthly basis, and at September 30, 2020, the hedges were highly effective and the amount of ineffectiveness reflected in earnings was de minimus.

Note 5.Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Continued)

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the following financial instruments were outstanding which contract amounts represent credit risk:


(In thousands)	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Commitments to grant loans	$	40,876	$	27,260
Unused commitments to fund loans and lines of credit		171,027		244,367
Commercial and standby letters of credit		8,751		9,002

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as 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. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Substantially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting those commitments, if deemed necessary.

The Company maintains its cash accounts with the FRB and correspondent banks. The total amount of cash on deposit in correspondent banks exceeding the federally insured limits was $20.7 million and $10.6 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Note 6.Stock-Based Compensation Plan

The Company’s Amended and Restated 2008 Option Plan (the Plan), which is stockholder-approved, was adopted to advance the interests of the Company by providing selected key employees of the Company, their affiliates, and directors with the opportunity to acquire shares of common stock. In June 2018, the stockholders approved an amendment to Plan to extend the term and increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan by 200,000 shares. The Company has granted stock options and restricted stock units under the Plan.

The maximum number of shares with respect to which awards may be made is 2,529,296 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, generally vest annually over four years of continuous service and have ten year contractual terms. At September 30, 2020, 165,211 shares were available to grant under the Plan.

No options were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, there were 0 and 2,737, respectively, shares withheld from issuance upon exercise of options in order to cover the cost of the exercise by the participant. There were no shares withheld from issuance upon exercise of options in order to cover the cost of the exercise by the participant during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

A summary of option activity under the Plan as of September 30, 2020, and changes during the nine months ended is presented below:

(1) The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2020. This amount changes based on changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock.

The compensation cost that has been charged to income for the Plan was $156 thousand and $198 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Total compensation cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $532 thousand and $470 thousand, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, all outstanding shares of the Plan are fully vested and amortized. The total income tax benefit related to stock options exercised and recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements was $6 thousand and $67 for the three months September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Tax benefits recognized for nonqualified stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 totaled $82 thousand and $162 thousand, respectively. There were no restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. 79,460 restricted stock units were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

A summary of the Company’s restricted stock unit grant activity as of September 30, 2020 is shown below.

Note 7.Fair Value Measurements

Determination of Fair Value

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of FASB ASC, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1 — Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 — Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.

Level 3 — Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:

Securities available-for-sale: Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that considers observable market data (Level 2).

Cash flow hedges: The Company has interest rate swap derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges and are recorded at fair value using published yield curve rates from a national valuation service. These observable rates and inputs are applied to a third party industry-wide valuation model, and therefore, the valuations fall into a Level 2 category.

The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:

Impaired Loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the present value of future cash flows,observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction, has the value derived by discounting comparable sales due to lack of similar properties, or is discounted by the Company due to marketability, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the allowance for loan losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Loans Held for Sale: At the beginning of the second quarter of 2020, the Company transferred its consumer unsecured loans held for sale portfolio to held for investment at the lower of cost or market as the market for these types of loans receded due to current economic conditions. The portfolio had no loans held for sale at September 30, 2020, compared to $11.2 million at December 31, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a loss on the market value adjustment totaling $451 thousand. The measurement of loss associated with the loans held for sale was based on the observable market price of the loan portfolio. Any fair

value adjustments were recorded in the period incurred as losses on loans held for sale on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are updated no less frequently than annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach with data from comparable properties. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available, which results in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Other real estate owned properties are evaluated regularly for impairment and adjusted accordingly.

The following table summarizes the Company’s assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Note 8.Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of stock which then shared in the earnings of the Company. Holders of the Company's restricted stock units do not have voting rights during the vesting period and therefore, restricted stock units are not included in the computation of basic earnings per share. Weighted average shares - diluted includes only the potential dilution of stock options as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 10.Subordinated Notes

On June 20, 2016, the Company issued $25 million of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due June 30, 2026, in a private placement to accredited investors. Interest is payable at 6.00% per annum, from and including June 20, 2016 to, but excluding, June 30, 2021, payable semi-annually in arrears. From and including June 30, 2021 to the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate shall reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the then current three-month LIBOR rate plus 487 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears.

The Company may, at its option, beginning with the interest payment date of June 30, 2021 and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter redeem the subordinated notes, in whole or in part, upon not fewer than 30 nor greater than 60 days’ notice to holders, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the subordinated notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. Any partial redemption will be made pro rata among all of the holders.

Note 11.Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 ''Revenue from Contracts with Customers'' (Topic 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606.

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, gain on sale of securities, BOLI income, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are also not in scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust and asset management income, deposit related fees, interchange fees, merchant income, and insurance commissions. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and personal checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

Fees, Exchange and Other Service Charges

Fees, exchange, and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service charges and are included in other income on our consolidated statements of income. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. This income is reflected in other income on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Other income

Other noninterest income consists of loan swap fees, insurance commissions, and other miscellaneous revenue streams not meeting the criteria above. When the Company enters into an interest rate swap agreement, the Company may receive an additional one-time payment fee which is recognized as income when received. The Company receives monthly recurring commissions based on a percentage of premiums issued and revenue is recognized when received. Any residual miscellaneous fees are recognized as they occur, and therefore, the Company determined this consistent practice satisfies the obligation for performance.

The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Contract Balances

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

Contract Acquisition Costs

In connection with the adoption of Topic 606, an entity is required to capitalize, and subsequently amortize into expense, certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if these costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, sales commission). The Company utilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to immediately expense contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. The Company did not capitalize any contract acquisition cost during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019.

Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor.

Lease payments

Lease payments for short-term leases are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, or for variable lease payments, in the period in which the obligation was incurred. Payments for leases with terms longer than twelve months are included in the determination of the lease liability. Payments may be fixed for the term of the lease or variable. If the lease agreement provides a known escalator, such as a specified percentage increase per year or a stated increase at a specified time, the variable payment is included in the cash flows used to determine the lease liability. If the variable payment is based upon an unknown escalator, such as the consumer price index at a future date, the increase is not included in the cash flows used to determine the lease liability. The Company’s leases provide known escalators that are included in the determination of the lease liability, with the exception of three lease agreements.

Options to Extend, Residual Value Guarantees, and Restrictions and Covenants

The Company’s leases offer the option to extend the lease term. For each of the leases, the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise the options and has included the additional time and lease payments in the calculation of the lease liability. None of the Company’s leases provide for residual value guarantees and none provide restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

Note 14. Subsequent Event

On October 13, 2020, the Company announced the completion of its private placement of $20 million of its 4.875% Fixed to Floating Subordinated Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors. The Notes have a maturity date of October 15, 2030 and carry a fixed rate of interest of 4.875% for the first five years. Thereafter, the Notes will pay interest at 3-month SOFR plus 471 basis points, resetting quarterly. The Notes include a right of prepayment without penalty on or after October 15, 2025. The Notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. The Company plans to use the proceeds from the placement of the Notes for general corporate purposes, to include supporting capital ratios at the Company’s subsidiary, FVCbank, and potential repayment of a portion of the $25.0 million outstanding subordinated debt callable June 30, 2021.

Overview

We are a bank holding company headquartered in Fairfax County, Virginia. Our sole subsidiary, FVCbank, was formed in November 2007 as a community-oriented, locally-owned and managed commercial bank under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Bank offers a wide range of traditional bank loan and deposit products and services to both our commercial and retail customers. Our commercial relationship officers focus on attracting small and medium sized businesses, commercial real estate developers and builders, including government contractors, non-profit organizations, and professionals. Our approach to our market features competitive customized financial services offered to customers and prospects in a personal relationship context by seasoned professionals.

On October 12, 2018, we completed our acquisition of Colombo Bank (Colombo). Colombo, which was headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, merged into FVCbank effective October 12, 2018 adding five banking locations in Washington, D.C., and Montgomery County and the City of Baltimore in Maryland.

Net interest income is our primary source of revenue. We define revenue as net interest income plus noninterest income. As discussed further in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” below, we manage our balance sheet and interest rate risk exposure to maximize, and concurrently stabilize, net interest income. We do this by monitoring our liquidity position and the spread between the interest rates earned on interest-earning assets and the interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. We attempt to minimize our exposure to interest rate risk, but are unable to eliminate it entirely. In addition to managing interest rate risk, we also analyze our loan portfolio for exposure to credit risk. Loan defaults and foreclosures are inherent risks in the banking industry, and we attempt to limit our exposure to these risks by carefully underwriting and then monitoring our extensions of credit. In addition to net interest income, noninterest income is a complementary source of revenue for us and includes, among other things, service charges on deposits and loans, merchant services fee income, loan swap fees, insurance commission income, income from bank owned life insurance (BOLI), and gains and losses on sales of investment securities available-for-sale.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

The accounting principles we apply under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are complex and require management to apply significant judgment to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Management must use assumptions, judgments and estimates when applying these principles where precise measurements are not possible or practical. These policies are critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates. Changes in such judgments, assumptions and estimates may have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. Actual results, in fact, could differ from initial estimates.

The accounting policies we view as critical are those relating to judgments, assumptions and estimates regarding the determination of the allowance for loan losses, accounting for purchase credit-impaired loans, fair value measurements, and the valuation of other real estate owned.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that represents management’s best estimate of known and inherent losses in our loan portfolio. We are not required to implement the provisions of the current expected credit losses accounting standard (CECL) until January 1, 2023, and are continuing to account for the allowance for loan losses under the incurred loss model. Both the amount of the provision expense and the level of the allowance for loan losses are impacted by many factors, including general and industry-specific economic conditions, actual and expected credit losses, historical trends and specific conditions of individual borrowers. Unusual and infrequently occurring events, such as weather-related disasters and health related events, such as the recent coronavirus outbreak and associated efforts to restrict the spread of the disease, may impact our assessment of possible credit losses. As a part of our analysis, we use comparative

Table of Contents

peer group data and qualitative factors such as levels of and trends in delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, charged-off loans, changes in volume and terms of loans, effects of changes in lending policy, experience, ability and depth of management, national and local economic trends and conditions, concentrations of credit, competition, and loan review results to support estimates.

The allowance for loan losses is based first on a segmentation of the loan portfolio by general loan type, or portfolio segments. For originated loans, certain portfolio segments are further disaggregated and evaluated collectively for impairment based on loan segments, which are largely based on the type of collateral underlying each loan. For purposes of this analysis, we categorize loans into one of five categories: commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, commercial construction, consumer real estate, and consumer nonresidential loans. Typically, financial institutions use their historical loss experience and trends in losses for each loan category which are then adjusted for portfolio trends and economic and environmental factors in determining the allowance for loan losses. Since the Bank’s inception in 2007, we have experienced minimal loss history within our loan portfolio. Because of this, our allowance model uses the average loss rates of similar institutions (our custom peer group) as a baseline which is then adjusted based on our particular qualitative loan portfolio characteristics and environmental factors. The indicated loss factors resulting from this analysis are applied for each of the five categories of loans.

Our peer group is defined by selecting commercial banking institutions of similar size within Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. This is known as our custom peer group. The commercial banking institutions comprising the custom peer group can change based on certain factors including but not limited to the characteristics, size, and geographic footprint of the institution. We have identified 24 banks for our custom peer group which are within $1 billion to $3 billion in total assets, the majority of whom are geographically concentrated in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area in which we operate, as this area has experienced more stable economic conditions than many other areas of the country. These baseline peer group loss rates are then adjusted based on an analysis of our loan portfolio characteristics, trends, economic considerations and other conditions that should be considered in assessing our credit risk. Our peer loss rates are updated on a quarterly basis.

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are determined to be impaired and, therefore, individually evaluated for impairment. We individually assign loss factors to all loans that have been identified as having loss attributes, as indicated by deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or a decline in underlying collateral value if the loan is collateral dependent. We evaluate the impairment of certain loans on a loan by loan basis for those loans that are adversely risk rated. Measurement of impairment is based on the expected future cash flows of an impaired loan, which are discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or measured on an observable market value, if one exists, or the fair value of the collateral underlying the loan, discounted to consider estimated costs to sell the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. If the net collateral value is less than the loan balance (including accrued interest and any unamortized premium or discount associated with the loan) we recognize an impairment and establish a specific reserve for the impaired loan.

Credit losses are an inherent part of our business and, although we believe the methodologies for determining the allowance for loan losses and the current level of the allowance are appropriate, it is possible that there may be unidentified losses in the portfolio at any particular time that may become evident at a future date pursuant to additional internal analysis or regulatory comment. Additional provisions for such losses, if necessary, would be recorded, and would negatively impact earnings.

Allowance for Loan Losses - Acquired Loans

Acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30

For our acquired loans, to the extent that we experience a deterioration in borrower credit quality resulting in a decrease in our expected cash flows subsequent to the acquisition of the loans, an allowance for loan losses would be established based on our estimate of future credit losses over the remaining life of the loans.

Table of Contents

Acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-20

Subsequent to the acquisition date, we establish an allowance for loan losses through a provision for loan losses based upon an evaluation process that is similar to our evaluation process used for originated loans. This evaluation, which includes a review of loans on which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other factors, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical net loan loss experience, carrying value of the loans, which includes the remaining net purchase discount or premium, and other factors that may warrant recognition in determining our allowance for loan losses.

Purchased Credit-Impaired Loans

Purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans, which are the loans acquired in our acquisition of Colombo, are loans acquired at a discount (that is due, in part, to credit quality). These loans are initially recorded at fair value (as determined by the present value of expected future cash flows) with no allowance for loan losses. We account for interest income on all loans acquired at a discount (that is due, in part, to credit quality) based on the acquired loans’ expected cash flows. The acquired loans may be aggregated and accounted for as a pool of loans if the loans being aggregated have common risk characteristics. A pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flow. The difference between the cash flows expected at acquisition and the investment in the loans, or the “accretable yield,” is recognized as interest income utilizing the level-yield method over the life of each pool. Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the acquisition are recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the pool over its remaining life, while decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairment through a loss provision and an increase in the allowance for loan losses. Therefore, the allowance for loan losses on these impaired pools reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition (representing the present value of all cash flows that were expected at acquisition but currently are not expected to be received). At September 30, 2020, we had a specific reserve for impairment of one acquired loan within our allowance for loan losses totaling $61 thousand that had further deteriorated post acquisition.

We periodically evaluate the remaining contractual required payments due and estimates of cash flows expected to be collected. These evaluations, performed quarterly, require the continued use of key assumptions and estimates, similar to the initial estimate of fair value. Changes in the contractual required payments due and estimated cash flows expected to be collected may result in changes in the accretable yield and non-accretable difference or reclassifications between accretable yield and the non-accretable difference. On an aggregate basis, if the acquired pools of PCI loans perform better than originally expected, we would expect to receive more future cash flows than originally modeled at the acquisition date. For the pools with better than expected cash flows, the forecasted increase would be recorded as an additional accretable yield that is recognized as a prospective increase to our interest income on loans.

Fair Value Measurements

We determine the fair values of financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Our investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value using reliable and unbiased evaluations by an industry-wide valuation service. This service uses evaluated pricing models that vary based on asset class and include available trade, bid, and other market information. Generally, the methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, vast descriptive terms and conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs. Depending on the availability of observable inputs and prices, different valuation models could produce materially different fair value estimates. The values presented may not represent future fair values and may not be realizable.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)

Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure is held for sale and is stated at fair value of the property, less estimated disposal costs, if any. Any excess of cost over the fair value less costs to sell at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. The fair value is reviewed periodically by management and any writedowns are

Table of Contents

charged against current earnings. Accounting policy and treatment is consistent with accounting for impaired loans described above.

LIBOR and Other Benchmark Rates

Following the announcement by the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority in July 2017 that it will no longer persuade or require banks to submit rates for the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) after 2021, central banks and regulators around the world have commissioned working groups to find suitable replacements for Interbank Offered Rates (IBOR) and other benchmark rates and to implement financial benchmark reforms more generally. These actions have resulted in uncertainty regarding the use of alternative reference rates (ARRs) and could cause disruptions in a variety of markets, as well as adversely impact our business, operations and financial results.

To facilitate an orderly transition from IBORs and other benchmark rates to ARRs, we have established an enterprise-wide initiative led by senior management. The objective of this initiative is to identify, assess and monitor risks associated with the expected discontinuation or unavailability of benchmarks, including LIBOR, achieve operational readiness and engage impacted clients in connection with the transition to ARRs.

Financial Overview

During the third quarter of 2020, we continued to expand our market share through organic growth, capitalizing on market disruption as a result of recent merger activity. In addition, as a result of our participation in the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), we were able to assist over 225 new customers, which represent future loan and deposit growth opportunities.

●

Total assets increased to $1.79 billion at September 30, 2020, compared to $1.54 billion at December 31, 2019, an increase of $256.9 million, or 16.7%. The increase in total assets is primarily attributable to our PPP loan originations, net of fees, totaling $170.3 million during 2020.

●

Total loans, net of deferred fees and costs, increased $227.1 million, or 17.9%, from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020. Nonperforming loans, including loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, as a percentage of total assets were 0.45% at September 30, 2020, compared to 0.70% at December 31, 2019. Nonperforming assets, which includes nonperforming loans and OREO, as a percentage of total assets were 0.67% and 0.95%, at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

●

Total deposits increased $228.6 million, or 17.8%, from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020, the increase attributable to a combination of deposits from remaining PPP funds and new customer relationships as well as growth in existing customer accounts.

●

Net income was $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $4.1 million for the same period of 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, net income was $10.5 million and $12.1 million, respectively. Year-to-date 2020 net income was impacted by increased provision for loan losses of $4.5 million and the one-time branch closure costs of $676 thousand.

COVID-19 Pandemic Discussion Matters

Employee Matters

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic stay at home orders to reduce the spread of the disease, the majority of our workforce transitioned to remote access operations towards the end of March 2020. Our information technology infrastructure has afforded our employees the ability to work predominantly remotely with little interruption as we continue to service the needs of our clients in a customer secure environment. As government imposed stay at home orders have further relaxed during the third quarter, more than half of our employees have returned to our offices, under social distancing guidelines requiring employees to maintain safe distances and with more frequent cleaning of our facilities and other practices encouraging a safe work environment. Management remains connected to employees through biweekly company-wide conference calls and regular notifications and updates through both email and the Company’s intranet as warranted.

Branch Hours

Branch hours and availability, which were modified in consideration of the safety of our employees and clients, were reinstated during the second quarter of 2020. All of our locations have been opened with advanced safety measures and are available during our normal business hours.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act )

The CARES Act, which was enacted March 27, 2020, included several provisions designed to provide relief to individuals and businesses as well as the banking system. Among the more significant components of this legislation was the creation of the SBA’s PPP-covered loans program, which was further expanded by the U.S. Congress during the second quarter of 2020. Loans made under the PPP are fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by the SBA, whose guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. PPP loans afford borrowers forgiveness up to the principal amount of the PPP covered loan if the proceeds are used to retain workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage interest, lease and utility payments. The SBA will reimburse banks that participate in this program for any amount of a PPP covered loan that is forgiven. Because of the SBA guarantee, we are currently not reserving an allowance for loan losses for these loans.

We actively participated in originating PPP loans, and began processing applications at the inception of the program and through the program’s expiration. As of September 30, 2020, we have originated 755 applications for approximately $170.3 million, net of deferred fees.

Loan Portfolio Exposures

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented loan payment deferral programs to allow customers who were required to close or reduce business operations to defer loan principal and interest payments primarily for 90 days. During the first and second quarters of 2020, we modified 277 loans for a total outstanding principal balance of $360.2 million, or 24.4% of the total loan portfolio. At October 31, 2020, remaining payment deferred loans totaled $37.6 million, or 2.5% of the total loan portfolio, comprising 22 loans. For those commercial real estate loans with approved payment deferrals, these loans are collateralized and well secured. The table below shows the number of loans deferring payments as of October 31, 2020 and their respective outstanding loan balances by asset class.

Previously modified hotel loans totaling $45.9 million have all resumed contractual loan payments with the exception of one loan totaling $9.7 million, which has moved to the watchlist. We are working with the borrower to determine the best course of action. Loans expected to resume payments above are based on conversations with the borrowers and analysis of their financial condition. Loans under further analysis and review are being closely monitored to determine if further modifications are warranted and to review all options available to us.

We are closely and proactively monitoring the effects of the pandemic on our loan and deposit customers and are focused on assessing risks within the loan portfolio and working with customers to minimize losses. We consider pandemic impacted loans to include commercial real estate loans made to hotels, churches, and certain retail and special purpose asset classes. During our assessment of the allowance for loan losses, we addressed the credit risks associated with these pandemic impacted segments and those loans that have requested payment deferrals.

We believe that as a result of our conservative underwriting discipline at loan origination coupled with the active dialogue we have had with our borrowers, we have the ability and necessary flexibility to assist our customers through this pandemic.

Liquidity and Backup Sources

Our primary and secondary sources of liquidity remain strong. Liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and investment securities available for sale, totaled $207.1 million at September 30, 2020, or 11.5% of total assets, an increase from $174.5 million, or 11.4%, at December 31, 2019. To maintain ready access to the Bank’s secured lines of credit, the Bank has pledged a portion of its commercial real estate and residential real estate loan portfolios to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (FRB). Additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB at September 30, 2020 was approximately $102.9 million. Borrowing capacity with the FRB was approximately $136.6 million at September 30, 2020. In addition, we have investment securities of $111.2 million which are available to pledge at FHLB to provide additional borrowing capacity if needed. We also have unsecured federal funds purchased lines of $254.0 million available to us. We anticipate maintaining liquidity at a level sufficient to protect depositors as we endure through this pandemic.

In addition to the funding sources noted above, the Federal Reserve has established a PPP Liquidity Facility (PPPLF), authorized under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, that can be used to pledge PPP loans we originate as

collateral under the CARES Act. Under Section 1102 of the CARES Act, a PPP loan is assigned a zero risk weighting under the risk based capital rules of the federal banking agencies. In addition, an interim rule issued on April 9, 2020 from the federal banking agencies will allow banks to neutralize the effect of PPP loans financed under the PPPLF on leverage capital ratios. We do not anticipate using this facility to provide us with additional liquidity. The interest rate on this facility is fixed at 0.35% for the term of the facility.

Share Repurchases

While our capital position remains well above the levels to be considered well capitalized for regulatory purposes, due to the heightened volatility of the stock market and uncertainty regarding the impact of COVID-19, we have temporarily suspended stock repurchases. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased and cancelled a total of 487,531 shares of common stock at an average price of $14.90, totaling $7.3 million, all of which occurred during the first quarter of 2020. We continue to monitor this area and may enter the markets from time to time as determined appropriate.

Risks and Uncertainties

The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which our customers operate and could impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to us. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic indicating that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The spread of the outbreak has caused significant disruptions to the U.S. economy and has disrupted banking and other financial activity in the areas we operate. While there has been no material impact to our employees to date, COVID-19 could also potentially create widespread business continuity issues for us.

The U.S. Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout. Most notably, the CARES Act was signed into law at the end of March 2020 as a $2 trillion legislative package. The goal of the CARES Act is to prevent a severe economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors. The package also includes extensive emergency funding for hospitals and providers. 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 are expected to have a material impact on our operations.

Lending Operations and Accommodations to Borrowers

Table of Contents

With the passage of the PPP, administered by the SBA, we actively participated in assisting our customers with applications for resources through the program. The majority of the PPP loans we originated have a two-year term and earn interest at 1%. We believe that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. As of September 30, 2020, we have closed or approved with the SBA 755 PPP loans representing $170.3 million in funding, net of deferred fees. It is our understanding that loans funded through PPP are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. Should those circumstances change, we could be required to establish additional allowance for loan losses through a charge to earnings.

Credit

We are working with customers directly affected by COVID-19. We are prepared to offer short-term assistance in accordance with regulator guidelines. As a result of the current economic environment caused by the COVID-19 virus, we are engaging in more frequent communications with borrowers to better understand their situation and the challenges faced, allowing us to respond proactively as needs and issues arise. Should economic conditions worsen, we could experience further increases in our required allowance for loan losses and record additional provision for loan loss expense. It is possible that our asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

Results of Operations—Three and Nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Overview

We recorded net income of $3.9 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to net income of $4.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Net interest income increased $1.5 million to $13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily a result of a decrease in deposit interest expense of $1.7 million. Provision for loan losses was $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $235 thousand for the same period of 2019. Noninterest income increased $90 thousand to $770 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $680 thousand for 2019. Noninterest expense was $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $7.4 million for the same three month period of 2019.

The annualized return on average assets for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 0.89% and 1.10%, respectively. The annualized return on average equity for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 8.44% and 9.46%, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded net income of $10.5 million, or $0.74 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $12.1 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was impacted by one-time branch closure costs of $676 thousand and increased provision for loan losses. Net interest income increased $2.3 million to $38.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $36.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a result of an increase in interest-earning assets through organic growth and a decrease in deposit interest expense year-over-year. Provision for loan losses was $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.3 million for the same period of 2019. Noninterest income increased $195 thousand to $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $2.0 million for 2019. Noninterest expense was $23.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $21.5 million for the same nine month period of 2019.

The annualized return on average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 0.84% and 1.13%, respectively. The annualized return on average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 7.72% and 9.65%, respectively.

We believe the reporting of non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) earnings to exclude gain on sales of securities available-for-sale, branch closing impairment charges, and merger and acquisition expenses are more reflective of our operating performance (Operating Earnings). Operating Earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $3.8 million, or $0.28 diluted earnings per share, compared to $4.1 million, or $0.28 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Operating Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $10.9 million, or $0.77 diluted earnings per share, compared to $12.2 million, or $0.82 diluted earnings per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. As mentioned previously, both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 have been impacted by elevated provision for loan losses expense. A reconciliation of Operating Earnings is shown below.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $13.6 million, compared to $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $1.5 million, or 12.4%. The increase in net interest income was primarily a result of a decrease in the cost of deposits during 2020 totaling $1.7 million offset by the decrease in yields on interest-earning assets compared to 2019. The yield on average loans decreased 88 basis points to 4.30% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 5.13% for the same period of 2019. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities

Table of Contents

decreased 80 basis points to 1.13% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 1.93% for the same period of 2019, reflecting our efforts to decrease rates on interest-bearing deposits in light of the current rate environment. During March 2020, in response to market conditions as the economy was impacted by COVID-19, the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve reduced its targeted fed funds rate an unprecedented 150 basis points. We responded quickly by reducing deposit rates substantially to offset the repricing of rates within our variable rate loan portfolio. We continue to review interest rates on deposits and other borrowed funds and reduce rates where possible.

Our net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 3.30% and 3.41%, respectively. The decrease in our net interest margin was primarily a result of a decrease in the yields earned on our interest-earning assets during 2020 as compared to 2019, a result of the decreasing rate environment which began during June 2019. In addition, PPP loans, which earn an interest rate of 1% plus net deferred fees, reduced net interest margin by 11 basis points during the three months ended September 30, 2020 along with excess liquidity, which reduced net interest margin 6 basis points for that same period. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was also impacted by an increase in credit mark accretion of $426 thousand, primarily as a result of improved cash flows for a loan within our acquired loan portfolio which improved net interest margin by 9 basis points. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, is a financial measure that we believe provides a more accurate picture of the interest margin for comparative purposes. To derive our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt income on an equivalent before tax basis with a corresponding increase in income tax expense. For purposes of this calculation, we use our statutory tax rates for the periods presented. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources.

The following table provides a reconciliation of our GAAP net interest income to our tax equivalent net interest income.

Table of Contents

for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the current low interest rate environment. The increase in our earning assets was primarily driven by an increase in the average volume of loans receivable of $243.5 million, of which $170.1 million of this increase was related to PPP loan originations, which yielded 2.31% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Interest income on total loans increased $43 thousand to $16.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $15.9 million for the same period of 2019, as average loan volume offset the significant decrease in the average rate of the portfolio. Average balances of nonperforming loans, which consist of nonaccrual loans, are included in the net interest margin calculation and did not have a material impact on our net interest margin in 2020 and 2019.

Total average interest-bearing deposits increased $93.4 million to $1.06 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $965.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $145.0 million to $423.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $278.4 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in total deposits, and specifically noninterest-bearing deposits, reflects a combination of deposits from remaining PPP fundings and new customer relationships as well as growth in existing customer accounts. The largest increase in average interest-bearing customer deposit balances was in our interest checking, which increased $54.6 million compared to 2019. Average wholesale deposits increased $15.7 million to $83.0 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $67.4 million for the third quarter of 2019. Wholesale deposits increased during the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, as this was a cheaper source of funding for the Bank during 2020. The cost of other borrowed funds, which include federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, and our subordinated notes, decreased 87 basis points to 3.64% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, from 4.51% for the same period in 2019. The decrease in the cost of other borrowed funds was a result of FHLB advances recorded during 2020 with an average cost of 1.07%.

The following table presents average balance sheet information, interest income, interest expense and the corresponding average yield earned and rates paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $38.5 million, compared to $36.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $2.3 million, or 6.3%. The increase in net interest income was primarily a result of an increase in the volume of interest-earning assets related to organic growth during 2020 compared to 2019, despite the decreasing rate environment. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 64 basis points to 4.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 4.88% for the same period of 2019. Offsetting this decrease in yield was a 46 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, primarily reflecting our efforts to decrease rates on interest-bearing deposits as a result of the decreased rate environment from a year ago.

Table of Contents

Average interest-earning assets increased by 15.0% to $1.57 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1.37 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in our earning assets was primarily driven by an increase in the average volume of loans receivable of $197.2 million, of which $97.6 million of this increase was related to PPP loan originations, which yielded 2.44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was impacted by a decrease in yields earned on the loan portfolio, which decreased interest income $2.9 million, offset by an increase in interest as a result of loan volumes totaling $3.3 million. Average balances of nonperforming loans, which consist of nonaccrual loans, are included in the net interest margin calculation and did not have a material impact on our net interest margin in 2020 and 2019.

Total average interest-bearing deposits increased $83.2 million to $1.03 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $948.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $117.3 million to $376.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $259.2 million for the same period in 2019. The largest increase in average interest-bearing customer deposit balances was in our interest checking, which increased $24.2 million compared to 2019. Average wholesale deposits increased $35.2 million to $111.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $76.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Wholesale deposits increased year-to-date 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, as this was a cheaper source of funding for the Bank during 2020. The cost of other borrowed funds, which include federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, and our subordinated notes, decreased 166 basis points to 3.51% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from 5.17% for the same period in 2019, a result of decreased funding costs during 2020.

Provision Expense and Allowance for Loan Losses

Our policy is to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that represents our best estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio. Both the amount of the provision and the level of the allowance for loan losses are impacted by many factors, including general and industry-specific economic conditions, actual credit losses, historical trends and specific conditions of individual borrowers. We are not required to implement the provisions of CECL until January 1, 2023, and we are continuing to account for the allowance for loans losses under the incurred loss model.

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a provision for loan losses of $235 thousand for the same period of 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded provision for loan losses totaling $4.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The increases in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 provision for loan losses compared to 2019, primarily reflects changes in certain qualitative factors as a result of the local economic conditions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to a slight increase in loan origination volume during 2020, excluding PPP loans. In addition, we evaluated our exposure to certain credit risks within industry segments in our loan portfolio that are most impacted by the pandemic and for those loans that are currently deferring payments. Industry subgroups such as retail, hotels, churches and other commercial real estate loans were isolated within our allowance model, in addition to those loans deferring payments, and qualitative factors were adjusted to increase the reserves for these loans as a result of their risk profiles. Specific reserves increased $92 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a result of the impairment analysis completed for impaired loans during the third quarter of 2020. See “Asset Quality” below for additional information on the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2020 was $14.6 million compared to $10.2 million at December 31, 2019. Our allowance for loan loss ratio as a percent of total loans, net of deferred fees and costs, for September 30, 2020 was 0.97% compared to 0.81% at December 31, 2019. PPP loans are guaranteed by the U.S. government, and therefore no reserves are currently recorded for PPP loans. The allowance for loan losses to total loans on the Company’s originated loan portfolio, excluding PPP loans and excluding acquired loans, was 1.15% at September 30, 2020, compared to 0.87% at December 31, 2019.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income includes service charges on deposits and loans, loan swap fee income, and income from our BOLI policies, and continues to supplement our operating results. Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $770 thousand and $680 thousand, respectively. Fee income from fees on loans, service charges on deposits, and other fee income was $446 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $33 thousand, as compared to the same quarter of 2019, a result of a decrease in loan fee income. Income from BOLI

Table of Contents

increased 41.4% to $280 thousand for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $198 thousand for the same period of 2019, primarily as a result of purchases of additional policies during 2019 totaling $20.0 million.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $2.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Fee income from fees on loans, service charges on deposits, and other fee income was $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $77 thousand, as compared to the same period of 2019, a result of an increase in service charges on deposit accounts and other fee income. Income from BOLI increased 104.1% to $845 thousand for the year-to-date period of 2020, compared to $414 thousand for the same period of 2019, primarily as a result of purchases of additional policies during 2019 totaling $20.0 million. In addition, noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was improved by gains totaling $141 thousand on the sales of $13.2 million in investment securities available-for-sale. These securities were sold as they had larger premiums susceptible to prepayment risk, decreasing future interest income. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was also impacted by losses on loans held for sale totaling $451 thousand. On April 1, 2020, we transferred our consumer unsecured loans held for sale portfolio to held for investment at the lower of cost or market as the market for these types of loans receded due to current economic conditions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $3 thousand in gains on securities available for sale.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense includes, among other things, salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, professional fees, data processing, insurance and miscellaneous expenses. Noninterest expense was $7.7 million and $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, an increase of $383 thousand, or 5.2%, which is in line with our targeted expense growth for 2020.

Data processing and network administration expense increased $124 thousand, which was primarily related to planned upgrades to our network infrastructure. Loan related expenses increased $154 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, primarily as a result of expenses incurred to resolve several problem loans during the quarter. All other increases in noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019 are primarily related to supporting the larger organization as a result of continued organic growth.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, noninterest expense was $23.0 million and $21.5 million, respectively, an increase of $1.4 million, or 6.6%. During the second quarter of 2020, we decided to close two branch office locations. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, more clients have transitioned to our electronic banking products, reducing the need to have physical branch locations to serve our customers. The right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements written off as a result of closing these locations totaled $676 thousand. As the branches will not close until early fourth quarter 2020, we do not anticipate cost savings until that time. Annual cost savings for the closure of these locations related to occupancy expense is expected to be approximately $350 thousand. Other savings of approximately $250 thousand include salaries and benefits expense as the employees for each of these locations will be filling current vacant positions within the Company, reducing the need to hire additional personnel.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, data processing and network administration expense increased $270 thousand, primarily related to the aforementioned planned upgrades to our network infrastructure. Loan related expenses increased $471 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, primarily as a result of expenses incurred to resolve several problem loans during 2020. Lastly, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance increased $316 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same nine month period of 2019, a result of an increase in total assets over the past 12 months and recording an assessment credit of $111 thousand during the third quarter of 2019.

Income Taxes

We recorded a provision for income tax expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was 21.2%, compared to 20.9% for the same period of 2019. Our effective tax rates for the three

Table of Contents

months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was less than the statutory rate because of discrete tax benefits recorded as a result of exercises of nonqualified stock options during 2020 and 2019.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded a provision for income tax expense of $2.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 20.5%, compared to 21.3% for the same period of 2019. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was less than the statutory rate because of discrete tax benefits recorded as a result of exercises of nonqualified stock options during 2020.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

Overview

At September 30, 2020, total assets were $1.79 billion, an increase of 16.7%, or $256.9 million, from $1.54 billion at December 31, 2019. Total loans receivable, net of deferred fees and costs, increased 17.9%, or $227.1 million, to $1.50 billion at September 30, 2020, from $1.27 billion at December 31, 2019. Total investment securities decreased $30.4 million, or 21.5%, to $111.2 million at September 30, 2020, from $141.6 million at December 31, 2019. Total deposits increased 17.8%, or $228.6 million, to $1.51 billion at September 30, 2020, from $1.29 billion at December 31, 2019. From time to time, we may utilize other borrowed funds such as federal funds purchased and FHLB advances as an additional funding source for the Bank. At September 30, 2020, we had FHLB advances totaling $25.0 million compared to $15.0 million at December 31, 2019. Federal funds purchased increased $5.0 million from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020.

Loans Receivable, Net

Total loans receivable, net of deferred fees and costs, were $1.50 billion at September 30, 2020, an increase of $227.1 million, or 17.9%, compared to $1.27 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase in the loans receivable portfolio was primarily attributable to PPP loans originated and funded, net of deferred fees, totaling $170.3 million during 2020 assisting both existing and new customers, in addition to organic loan growth primarily in our commercial real estate and commercial construction portfolios.

Commercial real estate loans totaled $807.9 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $747.7 million at December 31, 2019, an increase of $60.2 million, or 8.1%. During 2020, we reclassified residential investment loans to consumer real estate totaling $76.4 million and $74.2 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, as these loans were overstating our commercial real estate lending portfolio. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans were $186.2 million at September 30, 2020 compared to $205.9 million at December 31, 2019. Nonowner-occupied commercial real estate loans were $621.7 million at September 30, 2020 compared to $547.8 million at December 31, 2019. Construction loans totaled $215.5 million at September 30, 2020, or 14.3% of total loans receivable. Of the $215.5 million in construction loans, $40.2 million are collateralized by land and there are no lot acquisition and development loans (which have a higher degree of credit risk than the remaining portion of the construction portfolio). Our commercial real estate portfolio, including construction loans, is diversified by asset type and geographic concentration. We plan to manage this portion of our portfolio in a disciplined manner. We have comprehensive policies to monitor, measure, and

Table of Contents

mitigate our loan concentrations within this portfolio segment, including rigorous credit approval, monitoring and administrative practices.

The following table presents the composition of our loans receivable portfolio at September 30, 2020 and at December 31, 2019.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets, defined as nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, and OREO at September 30, 2020 were $11.9 million compared to $14.6 million at December 31, 2019. Nonperforming loans of $3.6 million are from our acquired loan portfolio at September 30, 2020. Our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.66% at September 30, 2020 compared to 0.95% at December 31, 2019. Nonperforming loans, which are primarily commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans, decreased $2.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Loans that we have classified as nonperforming are a result of customer specific deterioration mostly financial in nature that are not a result of economic, industry, or environmental causes that we might see as a pattern for possible future losses within our loan portfolio. For each of our criticized assets, we conduct an impairment analysis to determine the level of additional or specific reserves required for any portion of the loan that may result in a loss. As a result of the analysis completed, we have specific reserves totaling $456 thousand and $392 thousand at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Because these loans are individually evaluated for impairment, nonperforming loans are excluded from the general reserve allocation.

There was one loan classified as a TDR totaling $98 thousand during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to one TDR at December 31, 2019 totaling $3.9 million that paid off during the first quarter of 2020.

Table of Contents

We categorize loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. We analyze loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes, larger non-homogeneous loans such as commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. At September 30, 2020, we had $14.3 million in loans identified as special mention within the originated loan portfolio, a decrease of $2.7 million from December 31, 2019. Special mention rated loans are loans that have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention; however, the borrower continues to pay in accordance with their contract. The decrease from December 31, 2019 was primarily related to two loans totaling $11.1 million having been paid off in full including interest within this risk category during the first quarter of 2020, and three loans downgraded during 2020. At September 30, 2020, we had $15.2 million in loans identified as substandard within the originated loan portfolio, an increase of $5.3 million from December 31, 2019. The increase in substandard loans was primarily related to one loan, which was previously a COVID-19 modified hotel loan. We are working with the borrower to determine the best course of action. Substandard rated loans are loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. For each of these substandard loans, a liquidation analysis is completed. At September 30, 2020, specific reserves on originated and acquired loans totaling $456 thousand has been allocated within the allowance for loan losses to supplement any shortfall of collateral.

We recorded annualized net charge-offs to average loans receivable of 0.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to annualized net charge-offs to average loans receivable of 0.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no performing loans considered potential problem loans. Potential problem loans are defined as loans that are not included in the 90 days or more past due, nonaccrual or restructured categories, but for which known information about possible credit problems causes management to be uncertain as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms which may in the future result in disclosure in the past due, nonaccrual or restructured loan categories. We take a conservative approach with respect to risk rating loans in our portfolio. Based upon the status as a potential problem loan, these loans receive heightened scrutiny and ongoing intensive risk management. Additionally, our loan loss allowance methodology incorporates increased reserve factors for certain loans that are adversely rated but not impaired as compared to the general portfolio.

As previously mentioned, we have evaluated our exposure to credit risks directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic and have identified the following subgroups of industry segments most impacted by the pandemic. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented loan payment deferral programs to allow customers who were required to close or reduce business operations to defer loan principal and interest payments primarily for 90 days. During the first and second quarters of 2020, we modified 277 loans for a total outstanding principal balance of $360.2 million, or 24.4% of the total loan portfolio. At October 31, 2020, remaining payment deferred loans totaled $37.6 million, or 2.5% of the total loan portfolio, comprising 22 loans. For those commercial real estate loans with approved payment deferrals, these loans are collateralized and well secured. The table below shows the number of loans deferring payments as of October 31, 2020 and their respective outstanding loan balances by asset class.

At September 30, 2020, we had one OREO property with a fair value of $3.9 million. We are in the process of selling this property and do not expect a material gain or loss from the current fair value of the property as we recorded a $1.1 million gain on the foreclosure of the property during the year ended December 31, 2017.

While our loan growth has continued to be strong, unexpected changes in economic growth could adversely affect our loan portfolio, including causing increases in delinquencies and default rates, which would adversely impact our charge-offs and provision for loan losses. Deterioration in real estate values, employment data and household incomes may also result in higher credit losses for us. Also, in the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to a concentration of credit risk to a particular industry, counterparty, borrower or issuer. At September 30, 2020, our commercial real estate portfolio (including construction lending) was 68.1% of our total loan portfolio. A deterioration in the financial condition or prospects of a particular industry or a failure or downgrade of, or default by, any particular entity or group of entities could negatively impact our business, perhaps materially, and the systems by which we set limits and monitor the level of our credit exposure to individual entities and industries, may not function as we have anticipated.

See “Critical Accounting Policies” above for more information on our allowance for loan losses methodology.

The following tables present additional information pertaining to the activity in and allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan type and the percentage of the loan type to the total loan portfolio. The allocation of the allowance for loan losses to a category of loans is not necessarily indicative of future losses or charge-offs, and does not restrict the use of the allowance to any specific category of loans.

Investment Securities

Our investment securities portfolio is used as a source of income and liquidity. The investment portfolio consists of investment securities available-for-sale, investment securities held-to-maturity and certificates of deposit. Investment securities available-for-sale are those securities that we intend to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily until maturity. These securities are carried at fair value and may be sold as part of an asset/liability strategy, liquidity management or regulatory capital management. Investment securities held-to-maturity for each of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 totaled $264 thousand, and are those securities that we have the intent and ability to hold to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of our investment securities available-for-sale was $110.9 million at September 30, 2020, a decrease of $30.4 million or 21.5%, from $141.3 million at December 31, 2019. We sold $13.2 million in available-for-sale investment securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. These securities were sold as they had larger premiums susceptible to prepayment risk, decreasing future interest income.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the majority of the investment securities portfolio consisted of securities rated AAA by a leading rating agency. Investment securities which carry a AAA rating are judged to be of the best quality and carry the smallest degree of investment risk. All of our mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by either the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or the Government National Mortgage Association. Investment securities that were pledged to secure public deposits totaled $10.4 million and $11.3 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

We complete reviews for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, only investment grade securities were in an unrealized loss position. Investment securities with unrealized losses are a result of pricing changes due to recent and negative conditions in the current market environment and not as a result of permanent credit impairment. Contractual cash flows for the agency mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed and/or funded by the U.S. government. Municipal securities have third party protective elements and there are no negative indications that the contractual cash flows will not be received when due. We do not intend to sell nor do we believe we will be required to sell any of our temporarily impaired securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost.

No other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized for the securities in our investment portfolio as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

We hold restricted investments in equities of the FRB, and FHLB. At September 30, 2020, we owned $2.4 million in FHLB stock and $4.0 million in FRB stock. At December 31, 2019, we owned $1.9 million in FHLB stock and $4.0 million in FRB stock.

Deposits and Other Borrowed Funds

Total deposits were $1.51 billion at September 30, 2020, an increase of $228.6 million, or 17.8%, from $1.29 billion at December 31, 2019. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $431.3 million at September 30, 2020, comprising 28.5% of total deposits and increased $125.1 million, or 40.8%, compared to December 31, 2019. Core deposits, which

Table of Contents

represent total deposits less wholesale deposits, increased $233.6 million, or 19.7%, to $1.42 billion at September 30, 2020 compared to $1.19 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase in core deposits reflects a combination of deposits from remaining PPP funds and new customer relationships as well as growth in existing customer accounts. Wholesale deposits totaled $95.0 million, or 6.3% of total deposits at September 30, 2020, compared to $100.0 million at December 31, 2019.

At September 30, 2020, deposits from municipalities which are secured by a letter of credit issued by the FHLB, represented 7.1% of our total deposits. Deposits of any individual municipality are generally limited to 5% of total assets and in the aggregate, municipalities are limited to 18% of total assets. Some of these customers utilize our treasury management services, and all maintain deposits of varying types and maturities. As such, we believe that these customers are unlikely to abruptly terminate their relationship with us. However, in the event that we were to lose all or a significant portion of the deposits of one or more of these customers, we believe that we have adequate alternative sources of liquidity to enable us to replace these funds, although the cost of such replacement sources of liquidity could be higher.

The following table provides information on our deposit composition at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

We are a member of the Promontory Interfinancial Network (Promontory) which gives us the ability to offer Certificates of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) and Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) products to our customers who seek to maximize FDIC insurance protection. When a customer places a large deposit with us for Promontory, funds are placed into certificates of deposit or other deposit products with other banks in the CDARS and ICS networks in increments of less than $250 thousand so that principal and interest are eligible for FDIC insurance protection. These deposits are part of our core deposit base. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $117.3 million and $71.4 million, respectively, in either CDARS reciprocal or ICS reciprocal products. The increase from December 31, 2019 is a result of

Capital Resources

Capital adequacy is an important measure of financial stability and performance. Our objectives are to maintain a level of capitalization that is sufficient to sustain asset growth and promote depositor and investor confidence.

Table of Contents

Regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy utilizing a formula that takes into account the individual risk profile of the financial institution. The minimum capital requirements for the Bank are: (i) a common equity Tier 1, or CET1, capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 to risk-based assets capital ratio of 6%; (iii) a total risk based capital ratio of 8%; and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. Additionally, a capital conservation buffer requirement of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and is applicable to the Bank’s CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital ratios. Including the conservation buffer, we currently consider the Bank’s minimum capital ratios to be as follows: 7.00% for CET1; 8.50% for Tier 1 capital; and 10.50% for Total capital. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and compensation.

On January 1, 2020, the federal banking agencies adopted a “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” (CBLR), which is calculated by dividing tangible equity capital by average consolidated total assets. If a “qualified community bank,” generally a depository institution or depository institution holding company with consolidated assets of less than $10 billion, opts into the CBLR framework and has a leverage ratio that exceeds the CBLR threshold, which was initially set at 9%, then such bank will be considered to have met all generally applicable leverage and risk based capital requirements under Basel III, the capital ratio requirements for “well capitalized” status under Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, and any other leverage or capital requirements to which it is subject. A bank or holding company may be excluded from qualifying community bank status based on its risk profile, including consideration of its off-balance sheet exposures; trading assets and liabilities; total notional derivatives exposures and such other facts as the appropriate federal banking agencies determine to be appropriate.

In April 2020, as required by the CARES Act, the federal banking agencies issued two interim final rules related to the CBLR framework. One interim final rule provides that, as of the second quarter of 2020, banking organizations with leverage ratios of 8% or greater (and that meet the other existing qualifying criteria) may elect to use the CBLR framework. It also establishes a two-quarter grace period for qualifying community banking organizations whose leverage ratios fall below the 8% CBLR requirement, so long as the banking organization maintains a leverage ratio of 7% or greater. The second interim final rule provides a transition from the temporary 8% CBLR requirement to a 9% CBLR requirement. It establishes a minimum CBLR of 8% for the second through fourth quarters of 2020, 8.5% for 2021, and 9% thereafter, and maintains a two-quarter grace period for qualifying community banking organizations whose leverage ratios fall no more than 100 basis points below the applicable CBLR requirement.

At January 1, 2020, we qualified and adopted this simplified capital structure, however, there can be no assurance that satisfaction of the CBLR will provide adequate capital for our operations and growth, or an adequate cushion against increased levels of nonperforming assets or weakened economic conditions.

Shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2020 was $184.5 million, an increase of $5.4 million, compared to $179.1 million at December 31, 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, we adopted a share repurchase program. The Company may purchase up to 1,112,165 shares of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, or approximately 8% of outstanding shares as of December 31, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased and cancelled a total of 487,531 shares of common stock at an average price of $14.90, totaling $7.3 million, all of which occurred during the first quarter of 2020. Due to the uncertainty related to the potential economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have temporarily suspended share repurchases. Offsetting share repurchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was the recognition of net income of $10.5 million. Common stock issued as a result of option exercises increased shareholders’ equity by $260 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Accumulated other comprehensive income increased $1.4 million during 2020, primarily as a result of an increase in market value of our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio.

Total shareholders’ equity to total assets for September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 10.3% and 11.7%, respectively. Tangible book value per share at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $13.06 and $12.26, respectively. The Bank’s CBLR at September 30, 2020 was 11.02%. Total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets for the Bank was 13.43% at December 31, 2019, which was the former capitalization calculation completed prior to the adoption of CBLR. Accordingly, we were considered “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Table of Contents

On October 13, 2020, we announced the completion of our private placement of $20 million of our 4.875% Fixed to Floating Subordinated Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors. The Notes have a maturity date of October 15, 2030 and carry a fixed rate of interest of 4.875% for the first five years. Thereafter, the Notes will pay interest at 3-month SOFR plus 471 basis points, resetting quarterly. The Notes include a right of prepayment without penalty on or after October 15, 2025. The Notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. We plan to use the proceeds from the placement of the Notes for general corporate purposes, to include supporting capital ratios at our bank subsidiary, FVCbank, and potential repayment of a portion of the $25.0 million outstanding subordinated debt callable June 30, 2021.

As noted above, regulatory capital levels for the Bank meet those established for “well capitalized” institutions. While we are currently considered “well capitalized,” we may from time to time find it necessary to access the capital markets to meet our growth objectives or capitalize on specific business opportunities.

As the Company is a bank holding company with less than $3 billion in assets, and which does not (i) conduct significant off-balance sheet activities, (ii) engage in significant non-banking activities, and (iii) have a material amount of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), it is not currently subject to risk-based capital requirements adopted by the Federal Reserve, pursuant to the small bank holding company policy statement. The Federal Reserve has not historically deemed a bank holding company ineligible for application of the small bank holding company policy statement solely because its common stock is registered under the Exchange Act. There can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve will continue this practice.

The following tables shows the minimum capital requirement and our capital position at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 for the Bank.

Liquidity

Liquidity in the banking industry is defined as the ability to meet the demand for funds of both depositors and borrowers. We must be able to meet these needs by obtaining funding from depositors or other lenders or by converting non-cash items into cash. The objective of our liquidity management program is to ensure that we always have sufficient resources to meet the demands of our depositors and borrowers. Stable core deposits and a strong capital position provide the base for our liquidity position. We believe we have demonstrated our ability to attract deposits because of our convenient branch locations, personal service, technology and pricing.

In addition to deposits, we have access to the different wholesale funding markets. These markets include the brokered certificate of deposit market and the federal funds market. We are a member of the Promontory Interfinancial Network, which allows banking customers to access FDIC insurance protection on deposits through our Bank which exceed FDIC insurance limits. We also have one-way authority with Promontory for both their CDARs and ICS products which provides the Bank the ability to access additional wholesale funding as needed. We also maintain secured lines of credit with the FRB and the FHLB for which we can borrow up to the allowable amount for the collateral pledged. Having diverse funding alternatives reduces our reliance on any one source for funding.

Cash flow from amortizing assets or maturing assets also provides funding to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers.

We have established a formal liquidity contingency plan which establishes a liquidity management team and provides guidelines for liquidity management. For our liquidity management program, we first determine our current liquidity position and then forecast liquidity based on anticipated changes in the balance sheet. In this forecast, we expect to maintain a liquidity cushion. We also stress test our liquidity position under several different stress scenarios, from moderate to severe. Guidelines for the forecasted liquidity cushion and for liquidity cushions for each stress scenario have been established. We believe that we have sufficient resources to meet our liquidity needs.

Liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and investment securities available for sale, totaled $206.8 million at September 30, 2020, or 11.5% of total assets, an increase from $174.5 million, or 11.4%, at December 31, 2019. The increase in liquid assets is a result of an increase in deposits that occurred during 2020 as a result of PPP loan fundings, new customer onboarding, and increases in balances from existing customers. We held investments that are classified as held-to-maturity in the amount of $264 thousand at September 30, 2020. To maintain ready access to the Bank’s secured lines of credit, the Bank has pledged a portion of its commercial real estate and residential real estate loan portfolios to the FHLB and FRB. Additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB at September 30, 2020 was approximately $102.9 million. Borrowing capacity with the FRB was approximately $136.6 million at September 30, 2020. These facilities are subject to the FHLB and the FRB approving disbursement to us. In addition, we have investment securities of $110.9 million which are available to pledge at FHLB to provide additional borrowing capacity if needed.

Table of Contents

We also have unsecured federal funds purchased lines of $254.0 million available to us. We anticipate maintaining liquidity at a level sufficient to protect depositors, provide for reasonable growth and fully comply with all regulatory requirements.

In addition to the funding facilities noted above, the Federal Reserve has established the PPPLF, authorized under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, that can be used to pledge PPP loans we originate as collateral during the second quarter of 2020 under the CARES Act. Under Section 1102 of the CARES Act, a PPP loan is assigned a zero risk weighting under the risk based capital rules of the federal banking agencies. In addition, an interim rule issued on April 9, 2020 from the federal banking agencies will allow banks to neutralize the effect of PPP loans financed under the PPPLF on leverage capital ratios. The interest rate on this facility is fixed at 0.35% for the term of the facility.

Liquidity is essential to our business. Our liquidity could be impaired by an inability to access the capital markets or by unforeseen outflows of cash, including deposits. This situation may arise due to circumstances that we may be unable to control, such as general market disruption, negative views about the financial services industry generally, or an operational problem that affects a third party or us. Our ability to borrow from other financial institutions on favorable terms or at all could be adversely affected by disruptions in the capital markets or other events. As discussed under the caption “Deposits and Other Borrowed Funds” above, we have a deposit concentration related to municipalities at September 30, 2020. While we believe we have a healthy liquidity position and do not anticipate the loss of deposits of any of the significant deposit customers, any of the factors discussed above could materially impact our liquidity position in the future.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Credit Risk

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. We evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis and require collateral to support financial instruments when deemed necessary. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of credit is based on management’s evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include deposits held by us, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates up to one year 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. These instruments represent obligations to extend credit or guarantee borrowings and are not recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The rates and terms of these instruments are competitive with others in the market in which we do business.

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. Those lines of credit may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which we have committed.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments we issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. We hold certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, and real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

Table of Contents

With the exception of these off-balance sheet arrangements, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, changes in financial condition, revenue, expenses, capital expenditures, or capital resources, that is material to the business of the Company.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, unused commitments to fund loans and lines of credit totaled $171.0 million and $244.4 million, respectively. Commercial and standby letters of credit totaled $8.8 million and $9.0 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a financial institution, we are exposed to various business risks, including interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and value arising from volatility in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from timing differences in the repricings and maturities of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in the expected maturities of assets and liabilities arising from embedded options, such as borrowers’ ability to prepay loans and depositors’ ability to redeem certificates of deposit before maturity, changes in the shape of the yield curve where interest rates increase or decrease in a nonparallel fashion, and changes in spread relationships between different yield curves, such as U.S. Treasuries and LIBOR. Our goal is to maximize net interest income without incurring excessive interest rate risk. Management of net interest income and interest rate risk must be consistent with the level of capital and liquidity that we maintain. We manage interest rate risk through an asset and liability committee (ALCO). ALCO is responsible for managing our interest rate risk in conjunction with liquidity and capital management.

We employ an independent consulting firm to model our interest rate sensitivity. We use a net interest income simulation model as our primary tool to measure interest rate sensitivity. Many assumptions are developed based on expected activity in the balance sheet. For maturing assets, assumptions are created for the redeployment of these assets. For maturing liabilities, assumptions are developed for the replacement of these funding sources. Assumptions are also developed for assets and liabilities that could reprice during the modeled time period. These assumptions also cover how we expect rates to change on non-maturity deposits such as interest checking, money market checking, savings accounts as well as certificates of deposit. Based on inputs that include the current balance sheet, the current level of interest rates and the developed assumptions, the model then produces an expected level of net interest income assuming that market rates remain unchanged. This is considered the base case. Next, the model determines what net interest income would be based on specific changes in interest rates. The rate simulations are performed for a two year period and include ramped rate changes of down 100 basis points to 400 basis points and up 100 basis points to 400 basis points. In both the up and down scenarios, the model assumes a parallel shift in the yield curve. The results of these simulations are then compared to the base case.

Stress testing the balance sheet and net interest income using instantaneous parallel shock movements in the yield curve of 100 to 400 basis points is a regulatory and banking industry practice. However, these stress tests may not represent a realistic forecast of future interest rate movements in the yield curve. In addition, instantaneous parallel interest rate shock modeling is not a predictor of actual future performance of earnings. It is a financial metric used to manage interest rate risk and track the movement of the Bank’s interest rate risk position over a historical time frame for comparison purposes.

At September 30, 2020, our asset/liability position was neutral based on our interest rate sensitivity model in the one-year time frame and asset sensitive in the two-year time frame. Our net interest income would decrease by 0.8% in an up 100 basis point scenario and would decrease by 0.8% in an up 400 basis point scenario over a one-year time frame. In the two-year time horizon, our net interest income would increase by 0.5% in an up 100 basis point scenario and would increase by 4.0% in an up 400 basis point scenario. This neutral asset/liability position is caused by the level of fixed-rate PPP loans we originated and the increase in non-interest demand deposits we have experienced during 2020. At September

Economic value of equity (EVE) measures the period end market value of assets less the market value of liabilities and the change in this value as rates change. It models simultaneous parallel shifts in market interest rates, implied by the forward yield curve. The EVE model calculates the market value of capital by taking the present value of all asset cash flows less the present value of all liability cash flows.

The interest rate risk to capital at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is shown below and reflects that our market value of capital is in a liability position in which an increase in short-term interest rates is expected to generate lower market values of capital. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all EVE stress tests measures were within our board policy established limits.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based on and as of the date of such evaluation, these officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

The Company also maintains a system of internal accounting controls that is designed to provide assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and are properly recorded. This system is continually reviewed and is augmented by written policies and procedures, the careful selection and training of qualified personnel and an internal audit program to monitor its effectiveness. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of our operations, we become party to various legal proceedings. Currently, we are not party to any material legal proceedings, and no such proceedings except as noted above are, to management’s knowledge, threatened against us.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

In addition to the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the following risk factors update and supplement, and should be read together with, the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10- K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” included in Part 1, Item 2, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operations; the extent of such impacts are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

Global health and economic concerns relating to the COVID-19 outbreak and government actions taken to reduce the spread of the virus have had a material adverse impact on the macroeconomic environment, and the outbreak has significantly increased economic uncertainty. The pandemic has resulted in federal, state and local authorities, including those who govern the markets in which we operate, implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus. These measures, including shelter in place orders and business limitations and shutdowns, have significantly contributed to rising unemployment and negatively impacted consumer and business spending.

The COVID-19 outbreak has adversely impacted and is likely to continue to adversely impact our workforce and operations and the operations of our customers and business partners. In particular, we may experience adverse effects due to a number of operational factors impacting us or our customers or business partners, including but not limited to:

●

loan losses resulting from financial stress experienced by our borrowers, especially those operating in industries hardest hit by government measures to contain the spread of the virus;

●

collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase;

●

as a result of the decline in the Federal Reserve’s target federal funds rate, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread, and reducing net income;

●

operational failures, disruptions or inefficiencies due to changes in our normal business practices necessitated by our internal measures to protect our employees and government-mandated measures intended to slow the spread of the virus;

●

possible business disruptions experienced by our vendors and business partners in carrying out work that supports our operations;

●

decreased demand for our products and services due to economic uncertainty, volatile market conditions and temporary business closures;

●

potential financial liability, loan losses, litigation costs or reputational damage resulting from our origination of PPP loans; and

●

heightened levels of cyber and payment fraud, as cyber criminals try to take advantage of the disruption and increased online activity brought about by the pandemic.

Table of Contents

The extent to which the pandemic impacts our business, liquidity, financial condition and operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, its duration and severity, the actions to contain it or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. In addition, the rapidly changing and unprecedented nature of COVID-19 heightens the inherent uncertainty of forecasting future economic conditions and their impact on our loan portfolio, thereby increasing the risk that the assumptions, judgments and estimates used to determine the allowance for loan losses and other estimates are incorrect. Further, our loan deferral program could delay or make it difficult to identify the extent of asset quality deterioration during the deferral period. As a result of these and other conditions, the ultimate impact of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change, and we cannot predict the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole. To the extent any of the foregoing risks or other factors that develop as a result of COVID-19 materialize, it could exacerbate the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, or otherwise materially and adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(c)

On February 4, 2020, we publicly announced that the board of directors had adopted a program to repurchase up to 1,112,165 shares of our common stock, or approximately 8% of our outstanding shares of common stock at December 31, 2019. The timing and amount of repurchases, if any, will depend on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors, and there is no assurance that we will purchase shares during any period. The repurchase program will expire on December 31, 2020, subject to earlier termination of the program by the board of directors. Shares may be purchased in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased and cancelled a total of 487,531 shares of common stock at an average price of $14.90, totaling $7.3 million, all of which occurred during the first quarter of 2020.
