Note 1.    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 (the "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.
On August 31, 2021, the Company announced that the Bank had made an investment in Atlantic Coast Mortgage, LLC (“ACM”) for $20.4 million. As a result of this investment, the Bank has obtained a 28.7% ownership interest in ACM, which is subject to an earnback option of up to 3.7% over a three year period. The investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In addition, the Bank provides a warehouse lending facility to ACM, which includes a construction-to-permanant financing line, and has developed portfolio mortgage products to diversify the Bank's held to investment loan portfolio.
On December 15, 2022, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a five-for-four split of the Company's common stock in the form of a 25% stock dividend for shareholders of record on January 9, 2023, payable on January 31, 2023. Earnings per share and all other per share information reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements have been adjusted for the five-for-four spit of the Company's common stock for comparative purposes.
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, 2022. 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.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company adopted the current expected credit loss model ("CECL") under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”) on January 1, 2023. The Company recorded a net reduction of retained

earnings of $2.8 million upon adoption. The adoption adjustment included an increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans of $2.9 million in addition to an increase of $0.8 million to the reserve for unfunded commitments.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans and Unfunded Commitments
The allowance for credit losses represents an estimate of the expected credit losses in the Company's held for investment loan portfolio as of a valuation date. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 326 replaced the incurred loss impairment model that recognizes losses when it becomes probable that a credit loss will be incurred, with a requirement to recognize lifetime expected credit losses immediately when a financial asset is originated or purchased. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the held for investment loan portfolio. Loans, or portions thereof, are charged off against the allowance for credit losses when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries are recorded to the extent they do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.
Reserves on loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Nonaccrual loans are specifically reviewed for loss potential and when deemed appropriate are assigned a reserve based on an individual evaluation. The remainder of the portfolio, representing all loans not evaluated individually for impairment, is segmented based on call report code and processed through a cash flow valuation model. In particular, loan-level probability of default ("PD") and severity (also referred to as loss given default ("LGD")) is applied to derive a baseline expected loss as of the valuation date. These expected default and severity rates, which are regression-derived and based on peer historical loan-level performance data, are calibrated to incorporate the Company's reasonable and supportable forecast of future losses as well as any necessary qualitative adjustments.
Typically, financial institutions use their historical loss experience and trends in losses for each loan segment which are then adjusted for portfolio trends and economic and environmental factors in determining the allowance for credit losses. Since the Bank’s inception in 2007, the Company has experienced minimal loss history within its loan portfolio. Due to the fact that limited internal loss history exists to generate statistical significance, management determined it was most prudent to rely on peer data when deriving its best estimate of PD and LGD. As part of the Company's estimation process, management will continue to assess the reasonableness of the data, assumptions, and model methodology utilized to derive its allowance for credit losses.
For each of the modeled loan segments, the Company generates cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speeds, PD rates, and LGD rates. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds is based on internal loan-level historical data. The Company utilizes national unemployment for its reasonable and supportable forecasting of expected default within the cash flow model. To further adjust the allowance for credit losses for expected losses not already within the quantitative component of the calculation, the Company may consider qualitative factors as prescribed in ASC 326.
Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. The Company records a reserve for unfunded commitments on off-balance sheet credit exposures through a charge to provision for credit loss expense in its Consolidated Statement of Income. The reserve for unfunded commitments is estimated by call report code segmentation as of the valuation date under the CECL model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans taking utilization rates into consideration. The reserve for unfunded commitments is reflected as a liability on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company's methodology utilized in the estimation of the allowance for credit losses, which is performed at least quarterly, is designed to be dynamic and responsive to changes in its loan portfolio credit quality, composition, and forecasted economic conditions. The review of the reasonableness and appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses is reviewed by the CECL Committee for approval as of the valuation date. Additionally, information is provided to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis along with the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Collateral Dependent Financial Assets
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. For collateral dependent financial assets where the Company has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the asset as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to be from the operation of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the financial asset exceeds the net present value ("NPV") from the operation of the collateral. When repayment is expected to be from the sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the financial asset exceeds the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated cost to sell. The ACL may be zero if the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date exceeds the amortized cost basis of the financial asset.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Securities
The Company evaluates its available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities portfolios for expected credit losses as of the valuation date under ASC 326. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or if it is more likely than not that it would be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criterion is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income during the current period. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other driving factors. If the Company's assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, an ACL is recorded for the credit loss (which represents the difference between the expected cash flows and amortized cost basis), limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income.
The entire amount of an impairment loss is recognized in earnings only when: (1) the Company intends to sell the security; or (2) it is more likely than not that the Company will have to sell the security before recovery of the Company's amortized cost basis; or (3) the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. In all other situations, only the portion of the impairment loss representing the credit loss must be recognized in earnings, with the remaining portion being recognized in shareholders' equity as comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance for credit losses when the Company believes the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Any impairment not recorded through an allowance for credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income as a noncredit-related impairment.
As part of its estimation process, the Company have made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of available-for-sale debt securities and report accrued interest separately in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Available-for-sale debt securities are placed on nonaccrual status when we no longer expect to receive all contractual amounts due, which is generally at 90 days past due. Accrued interest receivable is reversed against interest income when a security is placed on nonaccrual status. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize an allowance for credit loss against accrued interest receivable. This approach is consistent with the Company's nonaccrual policy implemented for its loan portfolio.
The Company separately evaluates its held-to-maturity investment securities for any credit losses. If it determines that a security indicates evidence of deteriorated credit quality, the security is individually-evaluated and a discounted cash flow analysis is performed and compared to the amortized cost basis. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had one security classified as held-to-maturity with an amortized cost basis of $264 thousand with the remainder of the securities portfolio held as available-for-sale.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 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. Subsequently, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope." This ASU clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2021-01 on contract modifications that change the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, or prospectively to new modifications from any date within the interim period that includes or is subsequent to January 7, 2021, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2021-01 to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020.
We have certain loans, interest rate swap agreements, investment securities, and debt obligations with interest rates indexed to LIBOR. The administrator of LIBOR announced that the most commonly used U.S. dollar LIBOR settings would cease to be published or cease to be representative after June 30, 2023. Central banks and regulators around the world have commissioned working groups to find suitable replacements for LIBOR and other benchmark rates and to implement financial benchmark reforms more generally. There continues to be uncertainty regarding the use of alternative reference rates ("ARRs"), which may cause disruptions in a variety of markets, as well as adversely impact its business, operations and financial results.
The Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act, enacted in March 2022, provides a statutory framework to replace LIBOR with a benchmark rate based on Secured Overnight Funding Rate ("SOFR") for contracts governed by U.S. law that have no or ineffective fallbacks. Although governmental authorities have endeavored to facilitate an orderly discontinuation of LIBOR, no assurance can be provided that this aim will be achieved or that the use, level, and volatility of LIBOR or other interest rates, or the value of LIBOR-based securities will not be adversely affected.
To facilitate an orderly transition from interbank offered rates and other benchmark rates to 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.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 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, including the Company, 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 June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions". ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2022-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848". ASU 2022-06 extends the period of time preparers can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance in Topic 848. The objective of the guidance in Topic 848 is to provide relief during the temporary transition period, so the FASB included a sunset provision within Topic 848 based on expectations of when the LIBOR would would cease being published. In 2021, the administrator of LIBOR delayed the intended cessation date of certain tenors of LIBOR to June 30, 2023.
To ensure the relief in Topic 848 covers the period of time during which a significant number of modifications may take place, the ASU defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The ASU is effective for all entities upon issuance. The Company is assessing ASU 2022-06 and its impact on the Company's transition away from LIBOR for its loan and other financial instruments.
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method”. These amendments allow reporting entities to elect to account for qualifying tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method, regardless of the program giving rise to the related income tax credits. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities in any interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-02 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The ASU, as amended, requires an entity to measure expected credit losses for financial assets carried at amortized cost based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Among other things, the ASU also amended the impairment model for available for sale securities and addressed purchased financial assets with deterioration. This standard is commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CEC") methodology. ASU 2016-13 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. The adjustment recorded at adoption to the overall allowance for credit losses, which consisted of adjustments to the allowance for credit losses on loans and reserve for unfunded loan commitments, was $3.7 million. The adjustment, net of tax, recorded to stockholders’ equity totaled $2.8 million at January 1, 2023.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” ASU 2022-02 addresses areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the credit losses standard (ASU 2016-13) that introduced the CECL model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require a public business entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively, except for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of troubled debt restructuring ("TDRs"), an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative-effect

adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. ASU 2022-02 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. ASU 2022-02 resulted in no material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method.” ASU 2022-01 clarifies the guidance in ASC 815 on fair value hedge accounting of interest rate risk for portfolios of financial assets and is intended to better align hedge accounting with an organization’s risk management strategies. In 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-12 to better align the economic results of risk management activities with hedge accounting. One of the major provisions of that standard was the addition of the last-of-layer hedging method. For a closed portfolio of fixed-rate prepayable financial assets or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of prepayable financial instruments, such as mortgages or mortgage-backed securities, the last-of-layer method allows an entity to hedge its exposure to fair value changes due to changes in interest rates for a portion of the portfolio that is not expected to be affected by prepayments, defaults, and other events affecting the timing and amount of cash flows. ASU 2022-01 renames that method the portfolio layer method. ASU 2022-01 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. ASU 2022-01 resulted in no material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”. The ASU requires entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. The amendments improve comparability after the business combination by providing consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination and revenue contracts with customers not acquired in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. ASU 2021-08 resulted in no material impact to the Company's 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. One security was held as of March 31, 2023 for which the book value and fair value were equal and therefore neither an unrealized gain nor loss was reflected herein. 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 securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2023 are as follows:

SBA pass-through securities: The unrealized losses on one available-for-sale security was caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments.
Mortgage-backed securities: The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in 57 mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the Company’s investments. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, the Company does not consider those investments to be impaired at March 31, 2023.
Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"): The unrealized loss associated with 12 CMOs was caused by interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the Company’s investments. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, the Company does not consider those investments to be impaired at March 31, 2023.
The Company has evaluated its available-for-sale investments securities in an unrealized loss position for credit related impairment at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and concluded no impairment existed based on several factors which included: (1) the majority of these securities are of high credit quality, (2) unrealized losses are primarily the result of market volatility and increases in market interest rates, (3) issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments, and (4) the Company does not intend to sell any of the investments and the accounting standard of “more likely than not” has not been met for the Company to be required to sell any of the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Additionally, the Company’s mortgage-backed investment securities are primarily guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or the Government National Mortgage Association and do not have credit risk given the implicit and explicit government guarantees associated with these agencies.
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company executed a balance sheet repositioning strategy and sold available-for-sale investment securities with a total book value of $40.3 million at a pre-tax loss of $4.6 million and used the net proceeds to reduce existing high cost short-term FHLB advances and to fund higher yielding newly originated commercial loans. The deleverage strategy provides the Company with improved liquidity, enhanced tangible common equity, and additional run rate earnings.
The amortized cost and fair value of securities as of March 31, 2023, 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.

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 typically 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. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(Continued)
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, amortized cost basis of loans by risk category, class and year of origination was as follows as of March 31, 2023:

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 March 31, 2023, the Company had $16.7 million in loans identified as special mention, an increase from $10.4 million at December 31, 2022. 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. Loans rated as special mention do not have a specific reserve and are considered well-secured.

At March 31, 2023, the Company had $4.8 million in loans identified as substandard, an increase of $0.7 million from December 31, 2022. The increase in substandard loans was primarily related to the addition of one loan. 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 March 31, 2023, an individually assessed allowance for credit losses totaling $107 thousand has been estimated to supplement any shortfall of collateral.

Note 4.    Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements ("swap agreements") to facilitate the risk management strategies needed 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 March 31, 2023, the Company had entered into 15 interest rate swap agreements which are collateralized with $30 thousand in cash. There were 15 interest rate swap agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2022 which were collateralized with $30 thousand in cash.
The notional amount and fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the information pertaining to outstanding interest rate swap agreements used to hedge variability in cash flows was as follows:

Weighted average receive rate4.72%4.74%
Weighted average maturity in years4.203.49
Unrealized gain relating to interest rate swaps$1,236$4,251

These agreements provided for the Company to receive payments determined by a specific index in exchange for making payments at a fixed rate. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the unrealized gain relating to interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variability of cash flows associated with the interest payments on 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 funding affects earnings. The Company measures cash flow hedging relationships for effectiveness on a monthly basis, and at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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.

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the following financial instruments were outstanding, which contract amounts represent credit risk:

(In thousands)March 31, 2023December 31, 2022
Commitments to grant loans$55,681 $135,441 
Unused commitments to fund loans and lines of credit258,179 235,617 
Commercial and standby letters of credit6,504 6,503 

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 enters into rate lock commitments to finance residential mortgage loans with its customers. These commitments offer the borrower an interest rate guarantee provided the loan meets underwriting guidelines and closes within the timeframe established by the Company.
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 $2.2 million and $1.4 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 connection with their service to the Company. In May 2022, the stockholders approved an amendment to the 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 2,929,296 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events. Option awards are 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 years contractual terms. At March 31, 2023, 156,625 shares were available to grant under the Plan.
No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were 63,634 shares withheld from issuance upon exercise of options in order to cover the cost of the exercise by the participant. There were 4,772 shares withheld from issuance upon exercise of options in order to cover the cost of the exercise by the participant during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

This amount changes based on changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock.
As of March 31, 2023, all outstanding stock options granted under the Plan are fully vested and amortized. There was $479 thousand in income tax benefit related to stock options exercised and recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2023, there was $2.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock units granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 34 months.

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 (exit price). 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.

(Continued)
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 loan interest rate swap derivatives and interest rate swap derivatives on certain time deposits and borrowings, which the latter are designated as cash flow hedges. These derivatives 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

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:
At March 31, 2023, all of the Company's individually evaluated loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with ASC 820, individually evaluated loans where an allowance is established based on the the fair value of collateral (i.e., those loans that are collateral dependent) require classification in the fair value hierarchy. 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 (prior to adoption of ASC 326): 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 credit losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

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 the potential dilution of stock options and restricted stock units as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The following shows the weighted average number of shares used in computing earnings per share and the effect of weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock. Dilutive potential common stock has no effect on income available to common stockholders. There were no anti-dilutive shares for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

There were no gains for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, that were reclassified from AOCI into income. During the first quarter of 2023, $40.3 million in investment securities available-for-sale, or 12% of the investment portfolio, were sold with a realized after-tax loss of $3.6 million.

Note 10.    Subordinated Notes
On June 20, 2016, the Company issued $25.0 million of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due June 30, 2026, in a private placement to accredited investors. Interest was payable at 6.00% per annum, from and including June 20, 2016 to, but excluding, June 30, 2021, semi-annually in arrears. From and including June 30, 2021 to the

maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate was to 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 had the option, on any scheduled interest payment date, to 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. In August 2021, the Company provided a redemption notice to each holder of the subordinated notes that the notes would be redeemed on September 30, 2021 or such later date as the holder returned its note to the Company. The Company redeemed and paid $23.8 million of principal during the year ended December 31, 2021. The remaining note holders redeemed their notes with a principal balance of $1.2 million in February 2022. The notes stopped accruing interest effective as of the September 30, 2021 redemption date.

On October 13, 2020, the Company completed its private placement of $20.0 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.

Note 11. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASU 2014-09 ‘‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’’ ("Topic 606") and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606 in recognizing revenue. Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain non-interest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, gain on sale of securities, bank-owned life insurance income, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are also not in scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to non-interest 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. Non-interest 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 the Company’s 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.

34

Table of Contents

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(Continued)
Other Income
Other non-interest 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 non-interest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

Total Non-interest Income$(4,627)$1,624 

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 non-interest 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 March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.
Contract Acquisition Costs
Under 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 three months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following presents management’s discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the balance of 2023, or for any other period. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause results to differ materially from management’s expectations.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q, as well as other periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and written or oral communications made from time to time by or on behalf of FVCBankcorp, Inc. and our subsidiary (the “Company”), may contain statements relating to future events or future results of the Company that are considered “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements represent plans, estimates, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, intentions, projections and statements of our beliefs concerning future events, business plans, objectives, expected operating results and the assumptions upon which those statements are based. Forward-looking statements include without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and are typically identified with words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “aim,” “intend,” “plan,” or words or phases of similar meaning. We caution that the forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on factors which are, in many instances, beyond our control. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause our financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements:
general business and economic conditions, including higher inflation and its impacts, nationally or in the markets that the Company serves could adversely affect, among other things, real estate valuations, unemployment levels, the ability of businesses to remain viable, and consumer and business confidence, which could lead to decreases in demand for loans, deposits, and other financial services that the Company provides and increases in loan delinquencies and defaults;

the risk of changes in interest rates on levels, composition and costs of deposits, loan demand, and the values and liquidity of loan collateral, securities, and interest sensitive assets and liabilities;
changes in the Company’s liquidity requirements could be adversely affected by changes in its assets and liabilities;

changes in the assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for expected loan losses;
changes in market conditions, specifically declines in the commercial and residential real estate market, volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, and soundness of other financial institutions we do business with;
risks inherent in making loans such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values;
the Company’s investment securities portfolio is subject to credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk as well as changes in the estimates used to value the securities in the portfolio;

the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”), inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;
declines in the Company's common stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to record a noncash impairment charge to earnings in future periods;

Overview
We are a bank holding company headquartered in Fairfax County, Virginia. Our sole subsidiary, FVCbank (the “Bank”), 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"), which was headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, and added five banking locations in Washington, D.C., and Montgomery County and the City of Baltimore in Maryland.
On August 31, 2021, we announced that the Bank made an investment in Atlantic Coast Mortgage, LLC (“ACM”) for $20.4 million to obtain a 28.7% ownership interest in ACM. The ownership interest is subject to an earnback option of up to 3.7% over the next three years, and our investment had decreased to 27.7% as of December 31, 2022. In addition, the Bank provides a warehouse lending facility to ACM, which includes a construction-to-permanent financing line, and has developed portfolio mortgage products to diversify our held for investment loan portfolio.
On December 15, 2022, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a five-for-four split of the Company's common stock in the form of a 25% stock dividend for shareholders of record on January 9, 2023, payable on January 31, 2023. Earnings per share and all other per share information reflected herein have been adjusted for the five-for-four split of the Company's common stock for comparative purposes.

Net interest income is our primary source of revenue. We define revenue as net interest income plus non-interest 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, non-interest income is a complementary source of revenue for us and includes, among other things, service charges on deposits and loans, income from minority membership interest in ACM, merchant services fee income, 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 credit losses - loans & reserve for unfunded commitments, allowance for credit losses - securities, and fair value measurements.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans & Unfunded Commitments
We maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level that represents management’s best estimate of expected losses in our loan portfolio. We adopted the provisions of the current expected credit losses ("CECL") accounting standard as of January 1, 2023 in accordance with the required implementation date and recorded the impact of the adoption to retained earnings, net of deferred income taxes, as required by the standard. Prior to the adoption of CECL, we utilized an incurred loss model to derive its best estimate of the allowance for credit losses.
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 326 requires that an estimate of CECL be immediately recognized and reevaluated over the contractual life of the financial asset. The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loan portfolio. Loans, or portions thereof, are charged off against the ACL when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries are recorded to the extent they do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously and expected to be charged-off.

Table of Contents
Reserves on loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Nonaccrual loans are specifically reviewed for loss potential and when deemed appropriate are assigned a reserve based on an individual evaluation. The remainder of the portfolio, representing all loans not evaluated individually for impairment, is segmented based on call report code and processed through a cash flow valuation model. In particular, loan-level probability of default ("PD") and severity (also referred to as loss given default ("LGD")) is applied to derive a baseline expected loss as of the valuation date. These expected default and severity rates, which are regression-derived and based on peer historical loan-level performance data, are calibrated to incorporate our reasonable and supportable forecast of future losses as well as any necessary qualitative adjustments.

Typically, financial institutions use their historical loss experience and trends in losses for each loan segment which are then adjusted for portfolio trends and economic and environmental factors in determining the allowance for credit losses. Since the Bank’s inception in 2007, we have experienced minimal loss history within our loan portfolio. Due to the fact that limited internal loss history exists to generate statistical significance, we determined it was most prudent to rely on peer data when deriving our best estimate of PD and LGD. As part of our estimation process, we will continue to assess the reasonableness of the data, assumptions, and model methodology utilized to derive our allowance for credit losses.
For each of the modeled loan segments, we generate cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speeds, PD rates, and LGD rates. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds is based on internal loan-level historical data. For our cash flow model, we utilize national unemployment for its reasonable and supportable forecasting of expected default. To further adjust the ACL for expected losses not already within the quantitative component of the calculation, we may consider qualitative factors as prescribed in ASC 326.

Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. We record a reserve for unfunded commitments on off-balance sheet credit exposures through a charge to provision for credit loss expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income. The reserve for unfunded commitments is estimated by call report code segmentation as of the valuation date under the CECL model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans taking utilization rates into consideration. The reserve for unfunded commitments is reflected as a liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

While our methodology in establishing the ACL attributes portions of a combined reserve to multiple elements, we believe that the combined allowance of credit losses (which is inclusive of the reserve for unfunded commitments) represents the most appropriate coverage metric for loss absorption purposes.

Our methodology utilized in the estimation of the ACL, which is performed at least quarterly, is designed to be dynamic and responsive to changes in our loan portfolio credit quality, composition, and forecasted economic conditions. The review of the reasonableness and appropriateness of the ACL is reviewed by the CECL Committee for approval as of the valuation date. Additionally, information is provided to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis along with our consolidated financial statements.

Credit losses are an inherent part of our business and, although we believe the methodologies for determining the ACL and the current level of the allowance and reserve on unfunded commitments 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.

Collateral Dependent Financial Assets
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. For collateral dependent financial assets where the Company has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the asset as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to be from the operation of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the financial asset exceeds the net present value ("NPV") from the operation of the collateral. When repayment is expected to be from the sale
41

Table of Contents
of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the financial asset exceeds the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated cost to sell. The ACL may be zero if the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date exceeds the amortized cost basis of the financial asset.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Securities
We evaluate our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities portfolios for expected credit losses as of the valuation date under ASC 326. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether we intend to sell, or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell, the security before recovery of our amortized cost basis. If either criterion is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income during the current period. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other driving factors. If our assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, an ACL is recorded for the credit loss (which represents the difference between the expected cash flows and amortized cost basis), limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income.
The entire amount of an impairment loss is recognized in earnings only when: (1) we intend to sell the security; or (2) it is more likely than not that we will have to sell the security before recovery of our amortized cost basis; or (3) we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. In all other situations, only the portion of the impairment loss representing the credit loss must be recognized in earnings, with the remaining portion being recognized in shareholders' equity as comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes.

Changes in the ACL are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit losses. Losses are charged against the ACL when we believe the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Any impairment not recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income as a noncredit-related impairment.

As part of our estimation process, we have made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of available-for-sale debt securities and report accrued interest separately in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Available-for-sale debt securities are placed on nonaccrual status when we no longer expect to receive all contractual amounts due, which is generally at 90 days past due. Accrued interest receivable is reversed against interest income when a security is placed on nonaccrual status. Accordingly, we do not recognize an ACL against accrued interest receivable. This approach is consistent with our nonaccrual policy implemented for our loan portfolio.

We separately evaluate our held-to-maturity investment securities for any credit losses. If we determine that a security indicates evidence of deteriorated credit quality, the security is individually-evaluated and a discounted cash flow analysis is performed and compared to the amortized cost basis. As of March 31, 2023, we had one security classified as held-to-maturity with an amortized cost basis of $264 thousand with the remainder of the securities portfolio held as available-for-sale.

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.

LIBOR and Other Benchmark Rates
We have certain loans, interest rate swap agreements, investment securities, and debt obligations with interest rates indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The administrator of LIBOR announced that the most commonly used U.S. dollar LIBOR settings would cease to be published or cease to be representative after June 30, 2023. Central banks and regulators around the world have commissioned working groups to find suitable replacements for LIBOR and to implement financial benchmark reforms more generally. There continues to be uncertainty regarding the use of alternative reference rates ("ARRs"), which may cause disruptions in a variety of markets, as well as adversely impact our business, operations and financial results.
The Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act, enacted in March 2022, provides a statutory framework to replace LIBOR with a benchmark rate based on Secured Overnight Funding Rate ("SOFR") for contracts governed by U.S. law that have no or ineffective fallbacks. Although governmental authorities have endeavored to facilitate an orderly discontinuation of LIBOR, no assurance can be provided that this aim will be achieved or that the use, level, and volatility of LIBOR or other interest rates, or the value of LIBOR-based securities will not be adversely affected.
To facilitate an orderly transition from interbank offered rates 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. We are assessing ASU 2020-04 and its impact on our transition away from LIBOR for our loan and other financial instruments. Uncertainty as to the adoption, market acceptance or availability of SOFR or other ARRs may adversely affect the value of LIBOR-based loans and securities in our portfolio and may impact the availability and cost of hedging instruments and borrowings.
Results of Operations— Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
Overview
We recorded net income of $621 thousand, or $0.03 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to net income of $6.6 million, or $0.36 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $6.0 million, or 91%. As previously disclosed in our Form 10-K filed on March 24, 2023, net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 includes an after-tax loss totaling $3.6 million from the February sale of $40.3 million in available-for-sale investment securities which was part of a balance sheet repositioning. The proceeds from the securities sale were deployed in part to repay high-cost short-term borrowings totaling $20 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) and to fund higher yielding newly originated commercial loans. Further information on this balance sheet restructuring can be found below. Additionally, net income for the first quarter of 2023 includes our portion of losses from our membership interest in ACM, which was $625 thousand, net of tax, compared to income of $707 thousand, net of tax, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Net interest income decreased $1.0 million, or 7%, to $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Provision for credit losses of $242 thousand was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a provision for credit losses of $350 thousand being recorded for the same period of 2022. Non-interest income was a loss of $4.6 million compared to income of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Non-interest expense was $9.0 million compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The annualized return on average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 0.11% and 1.30%, respectively. The annualized return on average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 1.21% and 12.63%, respectively.

Commercial bank operating earnings, which exclude the losses on the above-noted securities sales, income or loss from the minority membership interest in ACM, and 2022 merger-related expenses, all net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 were $4.8 million and $6.0 million, respectively, a decrease of $1.2 million. Commercial bank operating earnings are expected to improve as a result of salary expense reductions, net interest margin improvement from our balance sheet repositioning and reduction of wholesale funding costs, and increased net interest income on newly originated commercial loans. Diluted commercial bank operating earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 were $0.26 and $0.33, respectively. We consider commercial bank operating earnings a more reflective financial measure of our operating performance than net income. Commercial bank operating earnings is determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP can be found in the tables below.

First Quarter Balance Sheet Repositioning

We review our balance sheet and interest rate sensitivity on an ongoing basis as part of our asset/liability risk management process. During February 2023, with the expectation of continued increases in short-term interest rates during 2023, we modeled various scenarios to improve balance sheet efficiency, reduce cost of funds, and improve margin and capital ratios. Because of the long-term value of this analysis, we executed a repositioning strategy through the sale of a portion of U.S. government agency low-yielding mortgage-backed investment securities available-for-sale at a one-time loss. The proceeds of this strategy were used to repay high cost short-term FHLB advances and to fund higher yielding newly originated commercial loans. During late February, we sold $40.3 million in investment securities available-for-sale, or 12% of the portfolio, for an after-tax loss of $3.6 million. This transaction was neutral to shareholders’ equity and tangible book value, as the loss recorded was already reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The balance sheet repositioning is accretive to net interest income, net interest margin and return on average assets in future periods. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, net interest margin improved 5 basis points as a result of this repositioning.

Additionally, during the first quarter of 2023, we fixed $150 million of wholesale funding through the execution of pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps have a weighted average rate of 3.50%, have a maturity of five years, and are designated against a mix of FHLB advances and brokered certificates of deposits. Classified as cash flow hedges, the market value fluctuations will not impact future earnings, but will impact accumulated other comprehensive loss. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, net interest margin improved 5 basis points as a result of the reduction in wholesale funding costs.

We will continue to evaluate other balance sheet opportunities that would improve operating efficiency, cost of funds, and net interest margin as conditions warrant.

Minority Investment in Mortgage Banking Operation

In August 2021, we acquired a membership interest in ACM for $20.4 million, or 0.01% of total assets, to diversify our loan portfolio while providing competitive residential mortgage products to our customers as well as generate additional revenue. Our investment in ACM is reflected as a nonconsolidated minority investment, and as such, the income generated from the investment is included in non-interest income. For the first quarter of 2023, we reported a pre-tax loss of $801 thousand compared to a pre-tax loss of $1.4 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 related to our investment in ACM. ACM has benefited from its disciplined expense reduction initiatives coupled with its strategic investments in recruiting and new branch acquisition, which has resulted in a decrease in ACM’s operating losses by 30% for the first quarter of 2023 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

During the first quarter, ACM implemented additional expense reductions of operations and corporate support staff resulting in reductions of total fixed expenses of 22% year-over-year as of March 31, 2023. ACM has experienced significant increases in new business activity and volume due to a 27% increase in mortgage originators year-over-year as of March 31, 2023. New funded volume for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $358 million, an increase of 13% from the previous quarter, and reflects substantial increases month over month within the first quarter of 2023, with March posting the highest monthly funding volume since July 2022.

ACM experienced increases in prequalification applications of 79% during the first quarter of 2023 compared with the fourth quarter of 2022, and an 18% increase from the same prior year quarter, despite the overall mortgage industry decline in existing home sales and mortgage origination market volumes. New applications and rate locks during the first quarter of 2023 increased 51%, and ACM’s locked pipeline increased 74% when comparing the first quarter of 2023 to the fourth quarter of 2022.

ACM’s growth strategy includes continued growth in markets outside of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Applications in areas outside of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area are up 50% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the year ago quarter and prequalification applications more than doubled over that same time period.

While headwinds from higher interest rates and lack of housing inventory are expected to weigh on the mortgage industry through 2023, we believe ACM is well positioned to weather this market downturn and to generate future growth and earnings.

Net Interest Income/Margin
Net interest income is our primary source of revenue, representing the difference between interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities.

(1)Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances and do not have a material effect on the average yield. Interest income on nonaccruing loans was not material for the periods presented. Net loan fees and late charges included in interest income on loans totaled $499 thousand and $848 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
(2)The average yields for investment securities are reported on a fully taxable equivalent basis at an effective rate of 22% for March 31, 2023 and 21% for March 31, 2022.

The level of net interest income is affected primarily by variations in the volume and mix of these assets and liabilities, as well as changes in interest rates.

(1)Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances and do not have a material effect on the average yield. Interest income on nonaccruing loans was not material for the periods presented.
(2)The average yields for investment securities are reported on a fully taxable equivalent basis at an effective rate of 22% for March 31, 2023 and 21% for March 31, 2022.

Net interest income totaled $14.0 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 7%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to the year ago quarter. The decrease in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to an increase in funding costs, which have increased precipitously as a result of Federal Reserve monetary policy coupled with the need to meet intense competition from market area banks, brokerages and the U.S. Treasury.

Average earning assets increased $244.5 million to $2.18 billion during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to $1.94 billion for the same period of 2022, primarily related to average growth in our loan portfolio of $356.6 million for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period of 2022. Loan interest income during the first quarter of 2023 increased due to both loan growth and an increase in yields earned on the portfolio. The average balance of the investment securities portfolio decreased $39.2 million to $312.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $351.3 million for the same period of 2022, which contributed to a decrease in interest income of $165 thousand offset by an increase in interest income of $65 thousand for the increase in the average yield of the portfolio, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period of 2022. Average deposits at other financial institutions and federal funds sold decreased $82.0 million to $26.2 million from $108.2 million for the same period of 2022.

Total average interest-bearing deposits increased $133.8 million to $1.37 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $1.23 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $106.4 million to $419.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $526.2 million for the same period in 2022. Average wholesale deposits increased $216.6 million to $251.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $35.0 million for the same period in 2022. Average other borrowed funds, which include federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, and our subordinated notes, increased $206.3 million to $250.8 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $44.5 million at March 31, 2022.

The yield on interest-earning assets increased 109 basis points to 4.64% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 3.55% for the same period of 2022. The average yield of the loan portfolio for the three month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 5.11% and 4.23%, respectively. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 201 basis points to 2.61% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 0.60% for the same period of 2022, which was primarily attributable to the repricing of our interest-bearing deposits due to higher interest rates.

Our net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 2.60% and 3.15%, respectively. The decrease in our net interest margin was primarily a result of the increase in the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities during 2023 compared to 2022, a result of the rising rate environment. Margin compression slowed and began to improve intra-quarter primarily because of the securities sales and through our execution of $150 million in additional pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swaps. 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 2023 and 2022.
Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, is a non-GAAP 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.

Provision Expense and Allowance for Credit Losses
Our policy is to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level that represents our best estimate of expected losses in the loan portfolio as of the valuation date. Both the amount of the provision and the level of the allowance for credit 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. We adopted CECL as of January 1, 2023 in accordance with the required implementation date and recorded the impact of the adoption to retained earnings, net of deferred income taxes, as required by the standard. Note that prior to the adoption of CECL, we utilized an incurred loss model to derive our best estimate of the allowance for loan losses.
As a result of the adoption of CECL, reserves for credit losses increased $3.7 million and consisted of increases to the allowance for credit losses as well as an increase in reserves for unfunded commitments (referred to as combined ACL herein). For the most recent quarter, subsequent to the aforementioned adoption, we recorded a total provision for credit losses of $242 thousand compared to a $350 thousand provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The provision recorded during the most recent period is primarily related to fluctuation in quantitative metrics referenced as part of our qualitative factor analysis as of the valuation date. We continue to lend to well-established and relationship-driven borrowers and have a proven track record of low historical credit losses.
We continue to maintain our disciplined credit guidelines during the current rising rate environment. We proactively monitor the impact of rising interest rates on our adjustable loans as the industry navigates through this economic cycle of increased inflation and higher interest rates. Credit quality metrics remained strong for the first quarter of 2023 with reserves on the individually evaluated portfolio marginally increasing to $107 thousand as of March 31, 2023, up from $86 thousand as of December 31, 2022, and down from $138 thousand at March 31, 2022 as a result of valuation adjustments. We recorded net recoveries of $23 thousand during the first quarter of 2023 and net charge-offs of $415 thousand for same period of 2022.
See “Asset Quality” below for additional information on the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The combined allowance for credit losses, which includes our reserve for unfunded commitments, at March 31, 2023 was $20.0 million compared to $16.0 million at December 31, 2022. Our allowance for credit losses on loans as a percent of total loans, net of

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was a loss of $4.6 million compared to a loss of $10 thousand for the linked quarter ended December 31, 2022 and income of $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. During the most recent quarter, we completed a balance sheet repositioning and sold $40.3 million in available-for-sale investment securities for a loss totaling $4.6 million. Additionally, we recorded a loss of $801 thousand associated with our minority investment in ACM during the first quarter of 2023.
Fee income from loans was $77 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to $84 thousand for the first quarter of 2022.

Non-interest expense includes, among other things, salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, professional fees, data processing, insurance and miscellaneous expenses. Non-interest expense was $9.0 million and $8.4 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Salaries and benefits expense was $5.0 million for each of the first quarters of 2023 and 2022. Included in salaries and benefits expense is approximately $100 thousand related to severances paid to employees during the first quarter of 2023. Staffing changes made year-to-date are expected to result in annualized savings of approximately $1.0 million. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $125 thousand compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022 primarily as a result of an increase in amortization of newly implemented business development solutions. Legal expenses related to loan workouts increased $224 thousand for the first quarter of 2023 when compared to the year ago quarter in a continued effort to mitigate credit risk and potential loss. The Company expects to recover these loan legal expenses later in 2023.
Income Taxes
We recorded a benefit for income taxes of $486 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a provision for income taxes of $1.3 million for the same period in 2022. The effective tax rate for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was less than the Company's combined federal and state statutory rate of 22.5% primarily because of discrete tax benefits recorded as a result of exercised of nonqualified stock options during the aforementioned periods.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
Overview
Total assets were $2.35 billion at March 31, 2023, an increase of $4.7 million, or 0.2%, compared to $2.34 billion at December 31, 2022. Investment securities were $239.7 million at March 31, 2023, a decrease of $38.6 million, from $278.3 million at December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of the aforementioned sale of available-for-sale investment securities. Total deposits increased $80.2 million, or 4%, to $1.91 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022. From time to time, we may use other borrowed funds such as federal funds purchased and FHLB advances as an additional funding source for the Bank. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had federal funds purchased totaling $0 and $30.0 million, respectively. The Bank had FHLB advances of $189.0 million and $235.0 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Subordinated debt, net of unamortized issuance costs, totaled $19.6 million at each of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Loans Receivable, Net
Loans receivable, net of deferred fees, were $1.83 billion at March 31, 2023 and $1.84 billion at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $12.3 million, or 0.7%. During the first quarter of 2023, new loan originations totaled $61.0 million and repayments of loans and lines of credit totaled $73.3 million.
Commercial real estate loans totaled $1.10 billion at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, commercial real estate loans represented 60% of the Company's total gross loans receivable. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans were $194.1 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $206.8 million at December 31, 2022. Nonowner-occupied commercial real estate loans were $905.4 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $893.2 million at December 31, 2022. Commercial construction loans totaled $156.8 million at March 31, 2023, an increase of $8.8 million, or 6%, from $147.9 million at December 31, 2022, and comprised 9% of total gross loans receivable. Of the $156.8 million in construction loans at March 31, 2023, $43.8 million are collateralized by land and only $5.5 million are lot acquisition and development loans (which have a higher degree of credit risk than the remaining portion of the construction portfolio).

Nonperforming loans, defined as nonaccrual loans and loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest and still accruing, were $4.4 million and $4.5 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. 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 had specific reserves totaling $107 thousand and $86 thousand at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Our ratio of nonperforming loans to total assets was 0.19% at each of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We had no other real estate owned and there were no modifications for borrowers who were experiencing financial difficulty for the quarters ended March 31, 2023.
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 March 31, 2023, we had $16.7 million in loans identified as special mention, an increase from $10.4 million from December 31, 2022. Special mention rated loans are loans that have a potential weakness that deserves our close attention; however, the borrower continues to pay in accordance with their contract. The increase from December 31, 2022 was primarily related to three relationships comprising of s loans being downgraded totaling $9.6 million offset by one relationship comprising of two loans paying off totaling $3.3 million. Loans rated as special mention do not have a specific reserve and are considered well-secured.
At March 31, 2023, we had $4.8 million in loans identified as substandard, an increase of $736 thousand from December 31, 2022. 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 March 31, 2023, individual reserves on loans totaling $107 thousand has been allocated within the allowance for credit losses to supplement any shortfall of collateral.
We recorded annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans receivable of (0.01%) for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 0.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The following tables provide additional information on our asset quality for the periods presented.

We are closely and proactively monitoring the effects of the recent market activity experienced. Our commercial real estate loan portfolio totaled $1.10 billion, or 60% of total loans, net of fees, at each of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The commercial real estate portfolio, including construction loans, is diversified by asset type and geographic concentration. We manage this portion of the portfolio in a disciplined manner, and have comprehensive policies to monitor, measure and mitigate our loan concentrations within this portfolio segment, including rigorous credit approval, monitoring and administrative practices. Included in commercial real estate are loans secured by office buildings totaling

The loans shown in the above table exhibit strong credit quality with only one loan that was classified at March 31, 2023, totaling $1.7 million, out of $554.6 million in these loan categories. During our assessment of the allowance for credit losses, we addressed the credit risks associated with these portfolio segments and believe that as a result of our conservative underwriting discipline at loan origination, we have appropriately reserved for expected credit concerns in the event of a downturn in economic activity.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 us 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 allowance for credit losses estimation methodology adjusts expected losses to calibrate the likelihood of a default event to occur through the use of risk ratings.
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, allowance for credit losses, and provision for credit 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. 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.

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 and investment securities held-to-maturity. 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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 $239.7 million at March 31, 2023, a decrease of $38.6 million, or 13.9%, from $278.3 million at December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of the $40.3 million of available-for-sale securities sold in February 2023, principal paydowns of $5.9 million, and a decrease in the portfolio's unrealized losses of $7.7 million.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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. The effective duration of the investment securities portfolio continues to be slightly over five years, which is within the industry average. Investment securities that were pledged to secure public deposits totaled $143.9 million and $108.7 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
In accordance with ASC 326, we complete periodic assessments on at least a quarterly basis to determine if credit deterioration exists within our investment securities portfolio and if an allowance for credit losses would be required as of a valuation date. For additional details related to management's assessment process, see the “Critical Accounting Policies” section above. As a result of the assessment performed as of March 31, 2023, the investment securities with unrealized losses are a result of pricing changes due to recent rising interest rate conditions in the current market environment and not as a result of credit deterioration. Contractual cash flows for agency-backed portfolios are guaranteed and 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 investment securities portfolio prior to the recovery of the amortized cost as of the valuation date. As such, no impairment was recognized in our investment securities portfolio as of March 31, 2023.
We hold restricted investments in equities of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond ("FRB") and FHLB. At March 31, 2023, we owned $4.4 million in FRB stock and $9.2 million in FHLB stock. At December 31, 2022, we owned $4.4 million in FRB stock and $11.1 million in FHLB stock.

Total deposits increased $80.2 million, or 4%, to $1.91 billion at March 31, 2023 from $1.83 billion at December 31, 2022. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $425.8 million at March 31, 2023, or 22% of total deposits.

Wholesale deposits were $313.4 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $248.0 million at December 31, 2022. In addition, we are a member of the IntraFi Network (“IntraFi”), 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 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance protection. When a customer places a large deposit with us for IntraFi, 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $189.9 million and $117.6 million, respectively, in either CDARS reciprocal or ICS reciprocal products.
As of March 31, 2023, the estimated amount of total uninsured deposits was $621.8 million, or 32.5% of total deposits. The estimate of uninsured deposits generally represents the portion of deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000 and is calculated based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for purposes of the Bank's regulatory reporting requirements.

Other borrowed funds, which include federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, and our subordinated notes, were $208.6 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $284.6 million at December 31, 2022. Subordinated debt was $19.6 million at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, federal funds purchased was $0 and $30.0 million, respectively. For March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, FHLB advances totaled $189.0 million and $235.0 million, respectively.


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.
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 (“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. At January 1, 2020, we qualified and adopted this simplified capital structure. Effective September 30, 2022, we opted out of the CBLR framework. A banking organization that opts out of the CBLR framework can subsequently opt back into the CBLR framework if it meets the criteria listed above. We believe that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2023 was $204.2 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 1%, compared to $202.4 million at December 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, retained earnings decreased $2.8 million primarily as a result of the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2023.
59

Table of Contents
Total shareholders’ equity to total assets for March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was 8.7% and 8.6%, respectively. Tangible book value per share (a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined in the table below) at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $11.53 and $11.58, respectively.
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, or (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 show the minimum capital requirements and the Bank's capital position at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

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. As of March 31, 2023, estimated uninsured deposits for the Bank improved to 32.5% of total deposits from 39.7% at December 31, 2022.
In addition to deposits, we have access to the various wholesale funding markets. These markets include the brokered certificate of deposit market and the federal funds market. We are a member of the IntraFi Network, which allows banking customers to access FDIC insurance protection on deposits through our Bank which exceed FDIC insurance limits. As part of our membership with the IntraFi Network, we have one-way authority 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.
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 $384.4 million at March 31, 2023, or 16% of total assets, an increase from $359.6 million, or 15%, at December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $143.9 million and $108.7 million, respectively, in investment securities available for sale were pledged as collateral for municipal deposits. We held investments that are classified as held-to-maturity in the amount of $264 thousand at March 31, 2023. 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 March 31, 2023 was approximately $190.2 million. Borrowing capacity with the FRB was approximately $84.7 million at March 31, 2023. We have the ability to access the Federal Reserve's new Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP"), which would increase borrowing capacity by $15.6 million. We did not access the BTFP facility during the first quarter of 2023. These facilities are subject to the FHLB and the FRB approving disbursement to us. We also have unsecured federal funds purchased lines of $250.0 million available to us, of which none were used at March 31, 2023. We anticipate maintaining liquidity at a level sufficient to protect depositors, provide for reasonable growth and fully comply with all regulatory requirements. As of March 31, 2023, our liquidity position was significantly in excess of its estimated uninsured deposits at 123%.
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. 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.
61

Table of Contents
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 our 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.
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 our business.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, unused commitments to fund loans and lines of credit totaled $258.2 million and $235.6 million, respectively. Commercial and standby letters of credit totaled $6.5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required.

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 changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter related to the adoption of ASC 326 that materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. These changes were considered to be designed and operating effectively for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
