Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters set forth herein (including any exhibits hereto) constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including forward-looking statements relating to the Company’s current business plans and expectations regarding future operating results. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, the use of forward-looking language, such as “likely result in,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “intends to,” or may include other similar words or phrases, such as “believes,” “plans,” “trend,” “objective,” “continues,” “remains,” or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “can,” or similar verbs.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, include, but are not limited to:

 

business and economic conditions, particularly those affecting the financial services industry and our primary market areas;

 

our ability to successfully manage our credit risk and the sufficiency of our allowance for loan loss;

 

factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers, the success of construction projects that we finance, including any loans acquired in acquisition transactions;

 

our ability to effectively execute our strategic plan and manage our growth;

 

interest rate fluctuations, which could have an adverse effect on our profitability;

 

liquidity issues, including fluctuations in the fair value and liquidity of the securities we hold for sale and our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary;

 

external economic and/or market factors, such as changes in monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve, inflation or deflation, changes in the demand for loans, and fluctuations in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits, which may have an adverse impact on our financial condition;

 

continued or increasing competition from other financial institutions, credit unions, and non-bank financial services companies, many of which are subject to different regulations than we are;

 

challenges arising from unsuccessful attempts to expand into new geographic markets, products, or services;

 

restraints on the ability of Open Bank to pay dividends to the holding company, which could limit our liquidity;

 

increased capital requirements imposed by banking regulators, which may require us to raise capital at a time when capital is not available on favorable terms or at all;

 

a failure in the internal controls we have implemented to address the risks inherent to the business of banking;

 

inaccuracies in our assumptions about future events, which could result in material differences between our financial projections and actual financial performance;

 

changes in our management personnel or our inability to retain, motivate and hire qualified management personnel;

 

disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems;

 

disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events affecting the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions;

 

an inability to keep pace with the rate of technological advances due to a lack of resources to invest in new technologies;

 

risks related to potential acquisitions;

Table of Contents

 

 

political developments, uncertainties or instability, catastrophic events, acts of war or terrorism, or natural disasters, such as earthquakes, drought, pandemic diseases (such as the coronavirus) or extreme weather events, any of which may affect services we use or affect our customers, employees or third parties with which we conduct business;

 

incremental costs and obligations associated with operating as a public company;

 

the impact of any claims or legal actions to which we may be subject, including any effect on our reputation;

 

compliance with governmental and regulatory requirements, including the Dodd-Frank Act and others relating to banking, consumer protection, securities and tax matters, and our ability to maintain licenses required in connection with commercial mortgage origination, sale and servicing operations;

 

changes in federal tax law or policy;

 

the rapidly changing uncertainties related to the Coronavirus pandemic including, but not limited to, the potential adverse effect of the pandemic on the economy, our employees and customers, and our financial performance;

 

the impact of the federal CARES Act and the significant additional lending activities undertaken by the Company in connection with the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program enacted thereunder, including risks to the Company with respect to the uncertain application by the Small Business Administration of new borrower and loan eligibility, forgiveness and audit criteria; and

 

our ability to the manage the foregoing.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this report. Because of these risks and other uncertainties, our actual future results, performance or achievement, or industry results, may be materially different from the results indicated by the forward looking statements in this report. In addition, our past results of operations are not necessarily indicative of our future results. You should not rely on any forward looking statements, which represent our beliefs, assumptions and estimates only as of the dates on which they were made, as predictions of future events. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

OP BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

Note 1. Business Description

OP Bancorp (the “Company”) is a California corporation whose common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol, “OPBK.” The Company was formed to acquire 100% of the voting equity of Open Bank (the “Bank”) and commenced operation as a bank holding company on June 1, 2016. This transaction was treated as an internal reorganization as all shareholders of the Bank became shareholders of the Company. The Company has no operations other than ownership of the Bank. The Bank is a California state-chartered and FDIC-insured financial institution, which began its operations on June 10, 2005. Headquartered in downtown Los Angeles, California, the Company operates primarily in the traditional banking business arena that includes accepting deposits and making loans and investments. The Company’s primary deposit products are demand and time deposits, and the primary lending products are commercial business loans to small to medium sized businesses. The Company is operating with nine full service branches, eight of which are located in California, in Downtown Los Angeles, Los Angeles Fashion District, Los Angeles Koreatown, Gardena, Buena Park and Santa Clara. The Company opened a ninth full service branch in Carrollton, Texas in April, 2019. The Company also has four loan production offices in Atlanta, Georgia, Aurora, Colorado, and Lynwood and Seattle, Washington.

On March 27, 2018, the Company completed its initial public offering of common stock, pursuant to which an aggregate of 2,300,000 shares of its common stock were sold at a public offering price of $11.00 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $22.6 million, after deducting underwriter discounts and commissions paid by it of approximately $1.7 million and other offering expenses of approximately $925,000.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Form 10-Q and conform to practices within the banking industry and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented, including eliminating intercompany transactions and balances. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Use of Estimates:  To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The Company could experience a material adverse effect on its business as a result of the impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) and the resulting governmental actions to curtail its spread. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimates based on information which was available at the date of the financial statements will change in the near term due to the COVID-19 pandemic and that the effect of the change would be material to the financial statements, including the allowance for loan losses. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our estimates and assumptions is highly uncertain and we are unable to make an estimate, at this time.

Concentration of Risk:  Most of the Company’s customers are located within Los Angeles County and the surrounding area. The concentration of loans originated in this area may subject the Company to the risk of adverse impacts of economic, regulatory or other developments that could occur in Southern California.  The Company has significant concentration in commercial real estate loans. The Company obtains what it believes to be sufficient collateral to secure potential losses. The extent and value of the collateral obtained varies based upon the details underlying each loan agreement.

 

There has been no significant or material changes to the Company’s accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies as described in “Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). The objective of ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit. ASU 2016-13 includes provisions that require financial assets measured at amortized cost (such as loans and held to maturity (HTM) debt securities) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This will be accomplished through recognition of an estimate of all current expected credit losses. The estimate will include forecasted information for the timeframe that an entity is able to develop reasonable and supportable forecasts. This is a change from the current practice of recognizing incurred losses based on the probable initial recognition threshold under current GAAP. In addition, credit losses on available for sale (AFS) debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a write-down. Under ASU 2016-13, an entity will be able to record reversals of credit losses in current period income when the estimate of credit losses declines, whereas current GAAP prohibits reflecting those improvements in current period earnings.

 

In July 2019, FASB proposed the effective date delay to January 2020 for SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies (“SRCs”) and emerging growth companies (“EGCs”), and January 2023 for all other entities including SRCs and EGCs, and on October 2019, FASB voted to approve the proposed delay. The Company expects the adoption date would be January 2023. ASU 2016-13 will be applied through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings (modified-retrospective approach), except for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. A prospective transition approach is required for these debt securities. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2016-13 on its financial statements and disclosures, including software solutions, data requirements and loss estimation methodologies. The company has engaged a third party advisor to develop a new expected loss model. While the effects cannot yet be quantified, the Company expects ASU 2016-13 to add complexity and costs to its current credit loss evaluation process.

 

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is in the process of evaluating the provisions of this ASU and its effects on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2020, various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“the agencies”) issued a revised interagency statement encouraging financial institutions to work with customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and providing additional information regarding loan modifications. The revised interagency statement clarifies the interaction between the interagency statement issued on March 22, 2020 and the temporary relief provided by Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES”). Section 4013 allows financial institutions to suspend the requirements to classify certain loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). The revised statement also provides supervisory interpretations on past due and nonaccrual regulatory reporting of loan modification programs and regulatory capital. This interagency guidance is expected to reduce the number of TDRs that will be reported in future periods; however, the amount is indeterminable and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement, and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. As of June 30, 2020, management believes no securities with unrealized losses were OTTI.

 

There were no securities pledged as collateral as of June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Troubled Debt Restructurings: As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had a recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings of $330,000 and $333,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has allocated $330,000 and $333,000 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in TDRs, respectively. The Company has not committed to lend any additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs.

Modifications made were primarily extensions of existing payment modifications on loans previously identified as TDRs. There were no new loans identified as trouble debt restructurings during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019. There were no payment defaults during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019 of loans that had been modified as TDRs within the previous twelve months.

Loan payment deferrals: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a loan modification program was designed and implemented to assist our clients experiencing financial stress resulting from the economic impacts caused by the global pandemic. The Company has offered loan payment deferrals of up to six months for commercial and consumer borrowers impacted by the pandemic who have not been delinquent over 30 days on payments at the time of borrowers’ deferral requests. As of June 30, 2020, the Company processed loan deferments for 155 loan accounts from borrowers across multiple industries for an aggregate loan balance of $190.9 million, or 18% of total loans. Recent interagency guidance from the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation confirmed with the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. We believe our loan modification program satisfies the applicable requirements.

As of August 3, 2020, 74 loans for an aggregate balance of $84.0 million, including 36 home mortgage loans for an aggregate balance of $16.3 million have resumed regular payments.

PPP loans:  A provision in the CARES Act created the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which is administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP is intended to provide loans to small businesses to pay their employees, rent, mortgage interest and utilities. The loans may be forgiven conditioned upon the client providing payroll documentation evidencing their compliant use of funds and otherwise complying with the terms of the program. The Bank is an approved SBA lender and began accepting applications for the program on April 3, 2020.   

The Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (“PPP / HCEA Act”), which was signed into law on April 24, 2020, authorized $310 billion of additional funding under the CARES Act for PPP loans to be issued by financial institutions through the SBA. As of June 30, 2020, the Company originated 924 loans for an aggregate loan balance of $64.9 million under the CARES Act and PPP / HCEA Act. The PPP loans are included in the SBA—non-real estate in the Company’s loan portfolio.

Table of Contents

 

Credit Quality Indicators: 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, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. For consumer loans, a credit grade is established at inception, and generally only adjusted based on performance. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans according to their credit risk. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

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 Company’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 distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful—Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

 

 

 

Pass

 

 

Special

Note 5. Leases

The Company’s operating leases are real estate leases which are comprised of its headquarters and office facilities from nonaffiliated parties with remaining lease terms ranging from one to nine years as of June 30, 2020. Certain lease arrangements contain extension option which are typically around five years. As these extension options are not generally considered reasonably certain of exercise, they are not included in the lease term.

At June 30, 2020, operating right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and related liabilities were $7.5 million and $9.3 million, respectively. Short-term operating leases, which are defined as leases with term of twelve months or less, were not recognized as ROU assets with related lease liabilities as permitted under ASU No. 2016-02. The lease payments on short-term operating leases are immaterial. The Company did not have any finance leases at June 30, 2020.

Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Operating lease expense, which is comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of income. The Company’s occupancy expense also includes variable lease costs which is comprised of the Company's share of actual costs for utilities, common area maintenance, property taxes, and insurance that are not included in lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred. Variable lease costs can also include rent escalations based on changes to indices, such as the Consumer Price Index, where the Company estimates future rent increases and records the actual difference to variable costs.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Risk: The commitments and contingent liabilities include various commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which arise in the normal course of business. Commitments to extend credit are legally binding loan commitments with set expiration dates. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. They are intended to be disbursed, subject to certain conditions, upon request of the borrower.

The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of each borrower. Collateral, if deemed necessary by the Company upon the extension of credit, is obtained based on management’s evaluation of the borrower. Collateral for commercial and industrial loans may vary, but may include securities, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income producing commercial or other properties. The following table shows the distribution of undisbursed loan commitments as of the dates indicated:

Owners of the restricted stock awards shall have all of the rights of a shareholder including the right to vote the shares and to all dividends (cash or stock). Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards will be recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the issue date.

Note 13. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company established a 401(k) profit sharing plan (the “401(k) Plan”), which is open to all eligible employees who are at least 18 years old and have completed 90 days of service. Each employee is allowed to contribute to the 401(k) Plan up to the maximum percentage allowable, not to exceed the limits of applicable IRS Code Sections. Each year, the Company may, in its discretion, make matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Total employer contributions to the 401(k) Plan amounted to $356,000 and $293,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Note 14. Revenue Recognition

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

The majority of the Company’s revenue-generating transactions are not subject to ASC 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as loans, letters of credit, and investment securities, as well as revenue related to mortgage servicing activities and revenue on COLI, as these activities are subject to other GAAP discussed elsewhere within the disclosures. Descriptions of the Company’s revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606, which are presented in the Company’s income statements as components of noninterest income are as follows:

Service charges on deposits:  Income from service charges on deposits is within the scope of ASC 606. These include general service fees for monthly account maintenance and activity or transaction-based fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue. Revenue on these types of fees are recognized when the Company’s performance obligation is completed which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed. Payment for such performance obligations are generally received at the time the performance obligations are satisfied. Total revenues from services charges on deposits in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, on a dollar and percentage of total revenue basis was $324,000 or 1.2%, and $362,000 or 1.3%, respectively, of service charges on deposits is related to these revenue streams.  Service charges on deposits also include overdraft and Non-sufficient funds (“NSF”) fees. Overdraft fees are charged when a depositor has a draw on their account that has inadequate funds.  In certain instances, the Company, at its sole discretion, may pay to the party requesting the draw on the deposit account, the balance of the draw for which there are inadequate funds rather than denying payment of the item. The Company then charges a fee for this short term extension of credit to the depositor for not complying with the balance requirements stipulated in the deposit agreement with the Bank, and as well as to cover the cost of advancing those funds. NSF fees are charged to customers when in the event of a draw on the customer's account that has insufficient funds to meet the payment of the draw (such as through written checks or ACH transactions), the Company returns the item rather than paying the balance of the draw for which the customer has inadequate funds.  This typically happens when the customer has fairly sizable draws or multiple draws on an account that has inadequate funds to meet the demands for payment. Total revenues from service charges on deposits from overdraft and NSF fees for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, on a dollar and percentage of total revenue basis was $274,000, or 1.0%, and $500,000, or 1.8%, respectively.  

Wire transfer fee income: This revenue stream is generated through the processing of customers’ incoming and outgoing wire transfers. Income generated from wire transfer fees is within the scope of ASC 606 and approximately $131,000, or 0.5%, and $165,000, or 0.6% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, is included in other income in noninterest income.

Other revenue streams that are recorded in other income in noninterest income include revenue generated from letters of credit and income on COLI. These revenue streams are either not material or out of scope of ASC 606.

Note 15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

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

Level 2—Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

24


Table of Contents

 

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Securities Available for Sale: The fair values of investment securities are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2). Management obtains the fair values of investment securities on a monthly basis from a third-party pricing service.

Other Investment: The Company has equity investment with readily determinable fair value. The fair value for the equity investment with readily determinable fair value is obtained from unadjusted quoted prices in active markets on the date of measurement and classified as Level 1.

Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s judgment, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of the credit department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are summarized below:

Note 16. Regulatory Capital Matters

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. Under the Basel III rules, the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer was 0.625% in 2016 and increased 0.625% annually until 2019. As of June 30, 2020, the capital conservation buffer for the Company is 2.50%. Management believes as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject to. Based on recent changes to the Federal Reserve’s definition of a “Small Bank Holding Company” that increased the threshold to $3 billion in assets, the Company is not currently subject to separate minimum capital measurements. At such time as the Company reaches the $3 billion asset level, it will again be subject to capital measurements independent of the Bank. For comparison purposes, the Company’s ratios are included in following discussion as well, all of which would have exceeded the “well-capitalized” level had the Company been subject to separate capital minimums. The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company and Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.  

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

Note 17. Earnings per Share

The two-class method is used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the two-class method, earnings available to common shares are allocated between common shares and participating securities. The Company’s restricted stock awards are considered participating securities as the unvested awards have non-forfeitable rights to dividends, paid or unpaid, on unvested awards. The factors used in the earnings per share computation follow:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Completion of Initial Public Offering

On March 27, 2018, we completed our initial public offering of common stock, pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 2,300,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $11.00 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $22.6 million, after deducting underwriter discounts and commissions paid by us of approximately $1.7 million and other offering expenses of approximately $925,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and conform to general practices within the industry in which we operate. To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates, assumptions and judgments based on available information. These estimates, assumptions and judgments affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements and, as this information changes, actual results could differ from the estimates, assumptions and judgments reflected in the financial statement. In particular, management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the estimates, assumptions and judgments inherent in those policies, are critical in understanding our financial statements.

The following is a discussion of the critical accounting policies and significant estimates that require us to make complex and subjective judgments. Additional information about these policies can be found in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

The ALL is maintained at a level that management believes is appropriate to provide for known and inherent incurred loan losses as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and we have established methodologies for the determination of its adequacy. The methodologies are set forth in a formal policy and take into consideration the need for an overall general valuation allowance as well as specific allowances that are determined on an individual loan basis.

The evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, changes in economic or other conditions may necessitate revision of the estimate in future periods.

COVID-19 AND GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant, unprecedented disruption around the world that has affected daily living and negatively impacted the local, state, national and global economies. The pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses and the institution of social distancing and shelter-in-place requirements in many states and communities, which has increased unemployment levels and caused extreme volatility in the financial markets. While COVID-19 has negatively impacted the economy, the CARES Act provides for financial stimulus and government lending programs at unprecedented levels. The benefits of these programs, as well as any potential additional stimulus, to effectively support businesses and consumers within the economy are uncertain.

The Company was able to react quickly to these changes because of the commitment and flexibility of its workforce coupled with a well-prepared business continuity plan. The Company has taken various steps to help our customers, employees, and communities, while maintaining safe and sound banking operations. The Company has been assisting customers with loans deferrals and the PPP loans and has provided employees remote working environment while maintaining fully functioning operations in all areas. Since the pandemic has begun, the Company donated $1.0 million through the Open Stewardship Foundation to support small restaurants in the communities we serve. The Company also donated $100,000 in contribution from its Board of Directors and employees to two local non-profit organizations to support families who are most severely impacted by the pandemic.

The CARES Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020.  The CARES Act allocated $349 billion for loans to be issued by financial institutions through the SBA as part of a program known as the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).  PPP loans are forgivable, in whole or in part, if the proceeds are used for payroll and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the PPP.  If not forgiven, in whole or in part these PPP loans carry a fixed rate of 1.00% and a term of two years.  Payments are deferred for the first six months of the loan. The loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA. The SBA pays the originating bank a processing fee ranging from 1% to 5%, based on the size of the loan. The PPP / HCEA Act was passed by Congress on April 23, 2020 and signed into law on April 24, 2020, which authorized $310 billion in additional funding under the CARES Act for PPP loans to be issued by financial institutions through the SBA. In addition, the FRB implemented a liquidity facility made available to financial institutions participating in the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”).  In conjunction with the PPP, the PPPLF allows the Federal Reserve Banks to lend to member banks on a non-recourse basis with PPP loans as collateral. Additionally, the CARES Act provides for relief on existing and new SBA loans through Small Business Debt Relief. As part of the SBA Small Business Debt Relief, the SBA will automatically pay principal, interest and fees of certain SBA loans for a period of six months for both existing loans and new loans issued prior to September 27, 2020. The CARES Act also provides for Mortgage Payment Relief and a foreclosure moratorium. As of June 30, 2020, the Company processed 924 loans for an aggregate loan balance of $64.9 million under the CARES Act and the PPP / HCEA Act.

Recent interagency guidance from the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation confirmed with the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. The Company implemented a loan modification program to assist our clients experiencing financial stress resulting from the economic impacts caused by the pandemic. The Company has offered loan payment deferrals of up to six months for commercial and consumer borrowers impacted by the pandemic who have not been delinquent over 30 days on payments at the time of borrowers’ deferral requests. The Company believes our loan modification program satisfies the applicable requirements under the interagency guidance. As of June 30, 2020, the Company accepted payment deferral requests for 155 loan accounts from borrowers across multiple industries for an aggregate of $190.9 million. The Company believes our loan modification program satisfies the applicable requirements.

 

As of August 3, 2020, 74 loans for an aggregate balance of $84.0 million, including 36 home mortgage loans for an aggregate balance of $16.3 million have resumed regular payments.

Results of Operations—Comparison for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

The following discussion of our results of operations compares the three months ended June 30, 2020 to the three months ended June 30, 2019.

We reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $2.4 million, or $0.16 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $3.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 37.0%. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in provision for loan losses and a $529,000 decrease in net interest income, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in noninterest expense and a $257,000 decrease in income tax expense.

Net Interest Income

The management of interest income and expense is fundamental to our financial performance. Net interest income, the difference between interest income and interest expense, is the largest component of the Company’s total revenue. Management closely monitors both total net interest income and the net interest margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets). We seek to maximize net interest income without exposing the Company to an excessive level of interest rate risk through our asset and liability policies. Interest rate risk is managed by monitoring the pricing, maturity and repricing options of all classes of interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Our net interest margin is also adversely impacted by the reversal of interest on nonaccrual loans and the reinvestment of loan payoffs into lower yielding investment securities and other short-term investments.

Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following tables set forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income during the period shown. Information is provided with respect to (i) effects on interest income attributable to changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior rate) and (ii) effects on interest income attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). Change applicable to both volume and rate have been allocated to volume and rate ratably.

Interest income decreased $2.0 million, or 13.2%, to $12.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $14.9 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to a decrease in the reported yield on interest-earning assets as a result of the cumulative market rate decreases of 225 basis points by the Federal Reserve in the last half of 2019 and first quarter of 2020, partially offset by the growth in average loans and investments and the interest income on SBA PPP loans.

Average loans increased $112.9 million, or 12.1%, to $1.04 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $932.1 million for the same period in 2019. Average total investments including Federal Funds and securities available for sale increased $41.0 million, or 33.3%, to $160.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $119.6 million for the same period in 2019. Average interest-earning assets increased $153.9 million, or 43.6%, to $1.21 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $1.05 billion for the same period in 2019. The increase in average loans was primarily due to new loan production, including SBA PPP loans, and the increase in average total investments was primarily due to a $31.9 million increase in Federal Funds and purchases of available for sale securities.

The average yield on loans decreased 123 basis points to 4.83% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 6.06% for the same period in 2019, primarily due to the cumulative market interest rate decrease by the Federal Reserve since October 2019. The average yield on securities decreased 59 basis points to 1.86% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 2.45% for the same period in 2019, primarily due to a decrease of $46,000 in interest income on securities.

The average yield on Federal Funds and other investments for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were 0.36% and 2.74% respectively. The average Federal Funds balance for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $90.3 million with an average yield of 0.10%, compared to the average Federal Funds balance of $58.4 million for the same period in 2019 with an average yield of 2.37%. The decrease in the average yield was primarily due to aforementioned market rate decreases by the Federal Reserve.

The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 136 basis points to 4.31% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 5.67% for the same period in 2019.

Interest expense decreased $1.4 million, or 38.6%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $3.7 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by the growth in average interest-bearing deposits.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $60.3 million, or 8.9%, to $735.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared with $675.3 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted primarily from a $56.3 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits, including a $37.4 million increase in average time deposits and a $15.1 million increase in average money market deposits. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $86.2 million, or 31.2%, to $362.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $276.6 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in average noninterest-bearing demand deposits for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was partially due to the SBA PPP loans funded to customers’ noninterest-bearing deposits.

The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 96 basis points to 1.24% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 2.20% for the same period in 2019.

Net interest income decreased $529,000, or 4.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, to $10.6 million compared to $11.2 million for the same period in 2019. The net interest spread and net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2020, were 3.07% and 3.55%, respectively, compared with 3.47% and 4.26%, respectively, for the same period in 2019.

Provision for Loan Losses

Credit risk is inherent in the business of making loans. We establish an allowance for loan losses through charges to earnings, which are shown in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as the provision for loan losses. Specifically, identifiable and quantifiable known losses are promptly charged off against the allowance. The provision for loan losses is determined by conducting a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses and charging the shortfall, if any, to the current quarter’s expense. This has the effect of creating variability in the amount and frequency of charges to earnings. The provision for loan losses and level of allowance for each period are dependent upon many factors, including loan growth, net charge-offs, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquencies, management’s assessment of the quality of the loan portfolio, the valuation of problem loans and the general economic conditions in our market area.

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.0 million, compared to $401,000 for the same period in 2019. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to the national pandemic’s unforeseeable impact to the local, state, and national economies, in which the Company operate. Considering the pandemic’s negative impacts on national, state, and local economic and business conditions, management increased qualitative factors on all loan types. The increases in qualitative factors accounted for $2.0 million, or 100%, of the provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Noninterest Income

While interest income remains the largest single component of total revenues, noninterest income is also an important component. A portion of our noninterest income is associated with SBA lending activity, consisting of gains on the sale of loans sold in the secondary market and servicing income from loans sold with servicing retained. The servicing assets that result from the sales of SBA loans with servicing retained are amortized over the expected term of the loans using a method approximating the interest method. Servicing income generally declines as the respective loans are repaid. Other sources of noninterest income include loan servicing fees, service charges and fees, and gains on the sale of securities.

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $585,000, or 22.1%, to $2.1 million compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $652,000 in gain on sale of loans and a decrease of $269,000 in service charges on deposits, partially offset by an increase of $287,000 in loan servicing fees. We sold $14.9 million in SBA loans with a gain on sale of $927,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to selling $21.2 million in SBA loans with a gain on sale of $1.6 million for the same period in 2019.

Salaries and employee benefits expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $997,000, or 18.7%, to $4.3 million from $5.3 million for the same period in 2019. This decrease was attributable to an increase in deferred loan origination costs from originating 924 SBA PPP loans for an aggregate loan balance of $64.9 million during the period. The average number of full-time equivalent employees was 171.3 and 166.8 in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Table of Contents

 

Occupancy and equipment expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $1.2 million, a $109,000, or 9.6% increase compared to the same period in 2019. Data processing and communication expenses increased $47,000, or 12.8%, to $414,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $367,000 for the same period in 2019. Those increases in expenses were primarily attributable to support both the new loan production offices and a new branch that opened in 2019.

Foundation donation and other contributions for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $134,000, or 35.4% to $245,000 from $379,000 for the same period in 2019. The decrease was due to the decreased donation accruals for Open Stewardship Foundation, which is directly proportionate to the growth in our after-tax net income. On an annual basis, we donate 10% of our consolidated net income after taxes to the Foundation.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $972,000 and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 28.7% and 24.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to less tax benefits realized because of a decrease in non-qualified stock option exercises during the period.

Results of Operations—Comparison for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

The following discussion of our results of operations compares the six months ended June 30, 2020 to the six months ended June 30, 2019.

We reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $5.7 million compared to net income of $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $2.9 million or 33.4%. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.5 million increase in provision for loan losses and a $1.8 million decrease in noninterest income, partially offset by a $890,000 decrease in noninterest expense and a $612,000 decrease in income tax expense.

Interest income decreased $1.7 million, or 5.9%, to $27.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $29.0 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to a decrease in the reported yield on interest-earning assets as a result of the cumulative market rate decreases by Federal Reserve, partially offset by the growth in average loans and the interest income on SBA PPP loans.

Average loans increased $111.4 million, or 12.2%, to $1.02 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $910.2 million for the same period in 2019. Average total investments including Fed Funds and securities available for sale increased $33.1 million, or 29.1%, to $146.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $113.7 million for the same period in 2019. Average interest-earning assets increased $144.4 million, or 14.1%, to $1.17 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $1.02 billion for the same period in 2019. The increase in average loans was primarily due to new loan production, including SBA PPP loans, and the increase in average total investment was due to a $29.5 million increase in Federal Funds.

The average yield on loans decreased 92 basis points to 5.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 6.08% for the same period in 2019, primarily due to cumulative market rate increases by the Federal Reserve. The average yield on securities decreased 46 basis points to 2.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 2.54% for the same period in 2019, attributable primarily to purchasing lower yielding securities.

The average yield on Federal Funds and other investments for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were 0.94% and 2.77%, respectively. The average Federal Funds balance for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $79.7 million with an average yield of 0.59%, compared to the average Federal Funds balance of $52.1 million for the same period in 2019 with an average yield of 2.38%. The decrease in the average yield was primarily due to aforementioned market rate decreases by the Federal Reserve.

The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 101 basis points to 4.69% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 5.70% for the same period in 2019.

Interest expense decreased $1.5 million, or 21.3%, to $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $7.0 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to a decrease the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by the growth in average interest-bearing deposits.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $76.4 million, or 11.7%, to $732.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with $655.8 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted primarily from a $44.8 million increase in average time deposits and $26.3 million increase in average money market deposits. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $58.0 million, or 21.5%, to $327.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $269.6 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in average noninterest-bearing demand deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was partially due to the SBA PPP loans funded to customers’ noninterest-bearing deposits.

The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 64 basis points to 1.51% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 2.15% for the same period in 2019.

Net interest income decreased $212,000, or 1.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to $21.8 million compared to $22.0 million for the same period in 2019. The net interest spread and net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were 3.18% and 3.74%, respectively, compared with 3.55% and 4.32%, respectively, for the same period in 2019.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.7 million compared to $401,000 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $2.3 million, or 581.0%. The decrease was primarily due to the national pandemic’s unforeseeable impact to economy and loan balance growth during the period. Considering the pandemic’s negative impacts to national, state, and local economic and business conditions, management increased qualitative factors on all loan types. The increases in qualitative factors accounted for $2.6 million, or 94.5%, of the provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $4.4 million, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 29.5%, compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $1.1 million in other income, a decrease of $574,000 in gain on sale of loans, and a decrease of $428,000 in service charges on deposits, partially offset by an increase of $296,000 in loan servicing fees. The Company received one-time gain on COLI in the first quarter of 2019. We sold $32.5 million in SBA loans with a gain of $2.1 million on sale for six months ended June 30, 2020 and $38.9 million in SBA loans with a gain of $2.6 million on sale for the same period in 2019.

Salaries and employee benefits expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.1 million, or 10.4%, to $9.4 million from $10.5 million for the same period in 2019. This decrease was attributable to an increase in deferred loan origination costs from originating SBA PPP loans during the periods, partially offset by an increase in the number of employees to support continued growth, annual salary adjustments, and increased benefit costs. The average number of full-time equivalent employees was 172.2 and 162.4 in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $262,000, or 11.9%, to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to support the new loan production offices and a new branch opened in 2019.

Foundation donation and other contributions for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $192,000, or 25.0% to $575,000 from $767,000 for the same period in 2019. The decrease was due to the decreased donation accruals for Open Stewardship Foundation, which is directly proportionate to the growth in our after-tax net income.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $2.1 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 27.2 percent and 24.3 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to less tax benefits from a decrease in non-qualified stock option exercises during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased $108.5 million, or 9.2%, to $1.29 billion at June 30, 2020 compared to $1.18 billion at December 31, 2019. This increase primarily resulted from an increase of $53.4 million, or 5.4%, in gross loans and an increase of $26.2 million, or 30.4%, in cash and cash equivalents and an increase of $18.9 million, or 33.3%, in securities available for sale. We funded our asset growth primarily with an increase of $100.0 million in deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Investment portfolio

The securities portfolio is the second largest component of our interest earning assets, and the structure and composition of this portfolio is important to an analysis of our financial condition. The portfolio serves the following purposes: (i) it provides a source of pledged assets for securing certain deposits and borrowed funds, as may be required by law or by specific agreement with a depositor or lender; (ii) it provides liquidity to even out cash flows from the loan and deposit activities of customers; (iii) it can be used as an interest rate risk management tool, because it provides a large base of assets, the maturity and interest rate characteristics of which can be changed more readily than the loan portfolio to better match changes in the deposit base and our other funding sources; and (iv) it is an alternative interest-earning use of funds when loan demand is weak or when deposits grow more rapidly than loans.

Table of Contents

 

We classify our securities as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase. Accounting guidance requires available-for-sale securities to be marked to fair value with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders’ equity. Monthly adjustments are made to reflect changes in the fair value of our available-for-sale securities.

All of the securities in our investment portfolio were classified as available-for-sale at June 30, 2020. There were no held-to-maturity securities in our investment portfolio at June 30, 2020. All available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. Securities available-for-sale consist primarily of US government-sponsored agency securities, home mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.

Securities available-for-sale increased $18.9 million, or 33.3%, to $75.4 million at June 30, 2020 from $56.5 million at December 31, 2019, primarily due to the purchases on collateralized mortgage obligations and home mortgage-backed securities. No issuer of the available-for-sale securities, other than FNMA and FHLMC, comprised more than 10% of our shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio as of the dates presented.

Certain securities have fair values less than amortized cost and, therefore, contain unrealized losses. At June 30, 2020, we evaluated the securities which had an unrealized loss for other than temporary impairment (OTTI) and determined all decline in value to be temporary. We anticipate full recovery of amortized cost with respect to these securities by maturity, or sooner in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment. We do not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell them before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding contractual maturities and the weighted average yields of our investment securities as of the dates presented. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

We have not used interest rate swaps or other derivative instruments to hedge fixed rate loans or securities to otherwise mitigate interest rate risk.

Loans

Our loans represent the largest portion of our earning assets, substantially greater than the securities portfolio or any other asset category, and the quality and diversification of the loan portfolio is an important consideration when reviewing our financial condition.

Our loan portfolio is concentrated in commercial real estate, commercial (primarily manufacturing, wholesale, and services-oriented entities), SBA loans (unguaranteed portion) with the remaining balance in home mortgage, and consumer loans. We do not have any material concentrations by industry or group of industries in the loan portfolio. However, 84.3% of our gross loans are secured by real property as of June 30, 2020, compared to 88.2% as of December 31, 2019.

We have established concentration limits in the loan portfolio for commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, and unsecured lending, among others. All loan types are within established limits. We use underwriting guidelines to assess the borrowers’ historical cash flow to determine debt service, and we further stress test the debt service under higher interest rate scenarios. Financial and performance covenants are used in commercial lending agreements to allow us to react to a borrower’s deteriorating financial condition, should that occur.

Commercial real estate loans include owner-occupied and non-occupied commercial real estate. We originate both fixed and adjustable rate loans. Adjustable rate loans are based on the Wall Street Journal prime rate. At June 30, 2020, approximately 62% of the commercial real estate portfolio consisted of fixed-rate loans. Our policy maximum loan-to-value, or LTV, is 70% for commercial real estate loans. At June 30, 2020, our average loan to value for commercial real estate loans was approximately 54%. Our commercial real estate loan portfolio totaled $637.3 million at June 30, 2020 compared to $630.7 million at December 31, 2019.

We are designated an SBA Preferred Lender under the SBA Preferred Lender Program. We offer mostly SBA 7(a) variable-rate loans. We generally sell the 75% guaranteed portion of the SBA loans that we originate. Our SBA loans are typically made to small-sized manufacturing, wholesale, retail, hotel/motel and service businesses for working capital needs or business expansions. SBA loans have maturities up to 25 years. Typically, non-real estate secured loans mature in less than 10 years. Collateral may also include inventory, accounts receivable and equipment, and may include personal guarantees. Our unguaranteed SBA loans collateralized by real estate are monitored by collateral type and included in our CRE Concentration Guidance.

As of June 30, 2020, our SBA portfolio totaled $204.4 million, including $63.4 million of SBA PPP loans, compared to $132.3 million as of December 31, 2019, an increase of $63.3 million, or 47.9%. We originated $84.2 million of SBA loans, including $64.9 million of SBA PPP loans in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $52.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Commercial and industrial loans totaled $88.4 million at June 30, 2020 compared to $103.9 million at December 31, 2019.

We originate mainly non-qualified, alternative documentation single-family home mortgage loans (“home mortgage”) primarily through broker relationships, but also through our branch network. The loan product is a five-year or seven-year hybrid adjustable rate mortgage which reprices after five years to the one-year LIBOR plus certain spreads. We originate the non-qualified single-family home mortgage loans held by us for investment. Home mortgage loans totaled $120.6 million at June 30, 2020 compared to $120.7 million at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $89,000, or 0.1%.

Loan Servicing

As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we serviced $360.3 million and $347.8 million respectively, of SBA loans for others. Activities for loan servicing rights for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

Allowance for loan losses

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Loans are charged-off against the allowance when management believes a loan balance is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses. Management’s methodology for estimating the allowance balance consists of several key elements, which include specific allowances on individual impaired loans and the formula driven allowances on pools of loans with similar risk characteristics. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.

The allowance for loan losses is determined on a quarterly basis and reflects management’s estimate of probable incurred credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. We also rely on internal and external loan review procedures to further assess individual loans and loan pools, and economic data for overall industry and geographic trends. The computation includes elements of judgment and high levels of subjectivity.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include loans on non-accrual status and performing restructured loans. Income from loans on non-accrual status is recognized to the extent cash is received and when the loan’s principal balance is deemed collectible. Depending on a particular loan’s circumstances, we measure impairment of a loan based upon either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is considered collateral dependent when repayment of the loan is based solely on the liquidation of the collateral. Fair value, where possible, is determined by independent appraisals, typically on an annual basis. Between appraisal periods, the fair value may be adjusted based on specific events, such as if deterioration of quality of the collateral comes to our attention as part of our problem loan monitoring process, or if discussions with the borrower lead us to believe the last appraised value no longer reflects the actual market value for the collateral. The impairment amount on a collateral-dependent loan is charged-off to the allowance if deemed not collectible and the impairment amount on a loan that is not collateral-dependent is set up as a specific reserve.

In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and we make certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring. These concessions may include a reduction of the interest rate, principal or accrued interest, extension of the maturity date or other actions intended to minimize potential losses. Loans restructured at a rate equal to or greater than that of a new loan with comparable risk at the time the loan is modified may be excluded from restructured loan disclosures in years subsequent to the restructuring if the loans are in compliance with their modified terms. A restructured loan is considered impaired despite its accrual status and a specific reserve is calculated based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell if the loan is collateral dependent. Interest income on impaired loans is accrued as earned, unless the loan is placed on non-accrual status. The Company’s loan payment deferrals in response to COVID-19 pandemic, however, is not classified as a troubled debt restructuring.

The allowance for loan losses was $12.8 million at June 30, 2020 and $10.1 million at December 31, 2019. The allowance for loan losses was 1.22% of gross loans at June 30, 2020 compared to 1.02% at December 31, 2019. Excluding fully guaranteed SBA PPP loans, the allowance for loan losses was 1.30% of gross loans at June 30, 2020.

In determining the allowance and the related provision for loan losses, we consider two principal elements: (i) valuation allowances based upon probable losses identified during the review of impaired commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, construction and land development loans; and (ii) allocations, by loan classes, on loan portfolios based on historical loan loss experience and qualitative factors.

It is the policy of management to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level adequate for risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The Federal Reserve Board and the California Department of Business Oversight also review the allowance for loan losses as an integral part of their examination process. Based on information currently available, management believes that our allowance for loan losses is adequate. However, the loan portfolio can be adversely affected if California’s economic conditions and the real estate market in our market area were to weaken. The effect of such events, although uncertain at this time, could result in an increase in the level of nonperforming loans and increased loan losses, which could adversely affect our future growth and profitability. No assurance of the ultimate level of credit losses can be given with any certainty.

The provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively, compared to $401,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 was primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s unforeseeable impact to economy and loan balance growth during the period. Considering the pandemic’s negative impacts to national and local economic and business conditions, management increased qualitative factors on all loan types. Management also considered risk mitigating factors such as the Small Business Debt Relief for SBA loans under the CARES Act and low loan to value ratios for loans with real estate collateral. The average loan to value ratios as of June 30, 2020 were approximately 56% for commercial real estate and home mortgage loans. The increases in qualitative factors accounted for $2.6 million, or 94.5%, of the provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The allowance for loan losses was $12.8 million at June 30, 2020 compared to $9.5 million at June 30, 2019. The allowance for loan losses was 1.22% of gross loans at June 30, 2020 compared to 1.01% at June 30, 2019. The allowance for loan losses increased to 1,252% of non-performing loans as of June 30, 2020 from 612% as of June 30, 2019.

Non-performing Loans

Loans are considered delinquent when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more. Delinquent loans may remain on accrual status between 30 days and 90 days past due. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as non-accrual loans. Typically, the accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when principal or interest payments are past due 90 days or when, in the opinion of management, there is a reasonable doubt as to collectability in the normal course of business. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on non-accrual loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received, and the loan’s principal balance is deemed collectible. Loans are restored to accrual status when loans become well-secured and management believes full collectability of principal and interest is probable.

Real estate we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned (“OREO”) until sold, and is initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. We had no OREO property at June 30, 2020 and at December 31, 2019.

Non-performing loans include loans 90 days past due and still accruing, loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis and accruing restructured loans. Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans plus OREO. Non-performing loans were $1.0 million at June 30, 2020, a decrease of $529,000, compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 2019.

Classified loans were $2.8 million at June 30, 2020, a decrease of $654,000, compared to $3.5 million at December 31, 2019. Excluding the SBA guarantee balance retained, classified loans were $2.8 million at June 30, 2020 and $3.1 million at December 31, 2019.

The following table sets forth the allocation of our non-performing assets among our different asset categories as of the dates indicated. Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings.

Deposits

We gather deposits primarily through our branch locations. We offer a variety of deposit products including demand deposits accounts, interest-bearing products, savings accounts and certificate of deposits. We focus our efforts to originate noninterest demand deposits accounts through marketing to our existing and new loan customers, customer referrals, and the involvement of our marketing staff in various community networks.

Total deposits at June 30, 2020 were $1.12 billion, representing an increase of $100.0 million, or 9.8%, compared to $1.02 billion at December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, 38.2% of total deposits were comprised of noninterest-bearing demand accounts, 26.7% of interest-bearing deposits without a stated maturity and 35.1% of time deposits.

Borrowed Funds

Other than deposits, we also utilized FHLB advances as a supplementary funding source to finance our operations. The advances from the FHLB are collateralized by residential and commercial real estate loans. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had maximum borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $391.9 million and $412.4 million, respectively. We had $10.0 million borrowings from FHLB at June 30, 2020. The Company had no borrowings at December 31, 2019.

Liquidity

Liquidity refers to the measure of our ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while at the same time meeting our operating, capital and strategic cash flow needs, all at a reasonable cost. We continuously monitor our liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all short-term and long-term cash requirements. We manage our liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of customers, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of our shareholders.

Our liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and access to alternative sources of funds. Our liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits in correspondent banks, Federal Funds sold, and fair value of unpledged investment securities. Other available sources of liquidity include wholesale deposits, and additional borrowings from correspondent banks, FHLB advances, and the Federal Reserve discount window.

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our gross loan to deposit ratio was 93.1% and 97.0%, respectively.

Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily met through cash flow from operations, redeployment of prepaying and maturing balances in our loan and investment portfolios, and increases in customer deposits. Other alternative sources of funds will supplement these primary sources to the extent necessary to meet additional liquidity requirements on either a short-term or long-term basis.

We had $33.0 million and 13.5 million of unsecured Federal Funds lines with no amounts advanced as of June 30, 2020 and as of December 31, 2019, respectively. In addition, on such dates we had lines of credit from the Federal Reserve discount window of $117.4 million and $124.0 million, respectively. The Federal Reserve discount window lines were collateralized by a pool of commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans totaling $217.5 million and $206.7 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. We did not have any borrowings outstanding with the Federal Reserve at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019, and our borrowing capacity is limited only by eligible collateral.

At June 30, 2020, we had $10.0 million in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of San Francisco which had 0% rate under the Zero-Rate Recovery Advance Program, FHLB’s pandemic relief initiatives. At December 31, 2019, we had no borrowings from the FHLB. Based on the values of loans pledged as collateral, we had $225.3 million and $238.9 million of additional borrowing availability with the FHLB as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. We also maintain relationships in the capital markets with brokers to issue certificates of deposit and money market accounts.

Capital Requirements

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking regulators. Failure to meet regulatory capital requirements may result in certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for “prompt corrective action” (described below), we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting policies. The capital amounts and classifications are subject to qualitative judgments by the federal banking regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Qualitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy required us to maintain minimum amounts and ratio of CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets, referred to as the “leverage ratio.”

The Dodd-Frank Act and new banking regulations promulgated by the U.S. federal banking regulators to implement the Basel III Capital Rules have established strengthened capital standards for banks and bank holding companies and require more capital to be held in the form of common stock. These provisions, which generally became applicable to us on January 1, 2015, impose meaningfully more stringent regulatory capital requirements than those applicable to us prior to that date. In addition, the Basel III Capital Rules implemented a concept known as the “capital conservation buffer.” In general, banks and bank holding companies are required to hold a buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets over each minimum capital ratio to avoid being subject to limits on capital distributions (e.g., dividends, stock buybacks, etc.) and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. For community banks, the capital conservation buffer requirement commenced on January 1, 2016, with a gradual phase-in with full compliance with the capital conservation buffer required by January 1, 2019.

The table below also summarizes the capital requirements applicable to us and the Bank in order to be considered “well-capitalized” from a regulatory perspective, as well as our and the Bank’s capital ratios as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. We and the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules and were considered to be “well-capitalized” as of the dates reflected in the table below. As of June 30, 2020, the FDIC categorized us as well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action framework. There have been no conditions or events since June 30, 2020 that management believes would change this classification.

We believe that we will be able to meet our contractual obligations as they come due through the maintenance of adequate cash levels. We expect to maintain adequate cash levels through profitability, loan and securities repayment and maturity activity and continued deposit gathering activities. We have in place various borrowing mechanisms for both short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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 and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in our consolidated balance sheet. The contractual or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.

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. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if we deem collateral is necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. They are intended to be disbursed, subject to certain condition, upon request of the borrower.

The following table summarized commitments as of the dates presented.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss due to changes in market values of assets and liabilities. We incur market risk in the normal course of business through exposures to market interest rates, equity prices, and credit spreads. We have identified interest rate risk as our primary source of market risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and value arising from changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from timing differences in the repricings and maturities of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (repricing risk), changes in the expected maturities of assets and liabilities arising from embedded options, such as borrowers’ ability to prepay home mortgage loans at any time and depositors’ ability to redeem certificates of deposit before maturity (option risk), changes in the shape of the yield curve where interest rates increase or decrease in a nonparallel fashion (yield curve risk), and changes in spread relationships between different yield curves, such as U.S. Treasuries and LIBOR (basis risk).

Our board’s asset liability committee, or ALM, establishes broad policy limits with respect to interest rate risk. Our management’s asset liability committee, or ALCO, establishes specific operating guidelines within the parameters of the policies set by the ALM. In general, we seek to minimize the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and the economic values of assets and liabilities. Our ALCO monitors the level of interest rate risk sensitivity on a quarterly basis to ensure compliance with the ALM-approved risk limits. The policy requires a periodic review of all key assumptions used, such as identifying appropriate interest rate scenarios, setting loan prepayment rates based on historical analysis, and noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposit durations based on historical analysis.

Interest rate risk management is an active process that encompasses monitoring loan and deposit flows complemented by investment and funding activities. Effective management of interest rate risk begins with understanding the dynamic characteristics of assets and liabilities and determining the appropriate interest rate risk posture given business forecasts, management objectives, market expectations, and policy constraints.

An asset sensitive position refers to a balance sheet position in which an increase in short-term interest rates is expected to generate higher net interest income, as rates earned on our interest-earning assets would reprice upward more quickly than rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, thus expanding our net interest margin. Conversely, a liability sensitive position refers to a balance sheet position in which an increase in short-term interest rates is expected to generate lower net interest income, as rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities would reprice upward more quickly than rates earned on our interest-earning assets, thus compressing our net interest margin.

Interest rate risk measurement is calculated and reported to the ALCO and ALM at least quarterly. The information reported includes period-end results and identifies any policy limits exceeded, along with an assessment of the policy limit breach and the action plan and timeline for resolution, mitigation, or assumption of the risk.

Evaluation of Interest Rate Risk

We use a net interest income simulation model to measure and evaluate potential changes in our net interest income. We run various hypothetical interest rate scenarios at least quarterly and compare these results against a scenario with no changes in interest rates. We use two approaches to model interest rate risk: Earnings at Risk, or EAR, and Economic Value of Equity, or EVE. Under EAR, net interest income is modeled utilizing various assumptions for assets and liabilities. EVE measures the period end market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities and the change in this value as rates change. EVE is a period end measurement.

Our simulation model incorporates various assumptions, which we believe are reasonable but which may have a significant impact on results such as: (i) the timing of changes in interest rates; (ii) shifts or rotations in the yield curve; (iii) re-pricing characteristics for market-rate-sensitive instruments; (iv) varying loan prepayment speeds for different interest rate scenarios; and (v) the overall growth and mix of assets and liabilities. Because of limitations inherent in any approach used to measure interest rate risk, simulation results are not intended as a forecast of the actual effect of a change in market interest rates on our results but rather as a means to better plan and execute appropriate asset-liability management strategies and manage our interest rate risk.

Potential changes to our net interest income in hypothetical rising and declining rate scenarios calculated as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are presented in the following table. The projections assume (i) immediate, parallel shifts downward of the yield curve of 100 basis points and (ii) immediate, parallel shifts upward of the yield curve of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points over 12 months. In the current interest rate environment, a downward shift of the yield curve of 200, 300 and 400 basis points does not provide us with meaningful results. In a downward parallel shift of the yield curve, interest rate at the short-end of the yield curve are not modeled to decline any further than 0%.

We are within board-established policy limits for all rate scenarios. The EAR reported at June 30, 2020 projects that our earnings are expected to be sensitive to changes in interest rates over the next year. In recent periods, the amount of fixed rate assets decreased resulting in a position shift to be slightly more asset sensitive.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures  

The Company’s management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered in this report.  Based on such evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting  

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

In the ordinary course of business, we are or may be involved in various legal or regulatory proceedings, claims, including claims related to, employment, wage-hour and labor law claims, lender liability claims, and consumer and privacy claims, some which may be styled as “class action” or representative cases.  We evaluate all claims and lawsuits with respect to their potential merits, our potential defenses and counterclaims, settlement or litigation potential and the expected effect on us.  The outcome of any claims or litigation, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain.  We make a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.  The outcomes of our legal proceedings and other contingencies are, however, inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.  The Company presently does not have any adverse pending legal actions.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following discussion supplements the discussion of risk factors affecting us as set forth in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussion of risk factors, as so supplemented, provides a description of some of the important risk factors that could affect our actual results and could cause our results to vary materially from those expressed in public statements or documents. However, other factors besides those included in the discussion of risk factors, as so supplemented, or discussed elsewhere in other of our reports filed with or furnished to the SEC could affect our business or results. The readers should not consider any description of such factors to be a complete set of all potential risks that we may face.

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the U.S. and global economy; disrupted U.S. and global supply chains; lowered equity market valuations; created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets; contributed to a decrease in the rates and yields on U.S. Treasury securities; resulted in ratings downgrades, credit deterioration, and defaults in many industries; increased demands on capital and liquidity; and increased unemployment levels and decreased consumer confidence.  In addition, the pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses and the institution of social distancing and sheltering in place requirements in many states and communities, including those in our footprint. The pandemic has caused us, and could continue to cause us, to recognize credit losses in our loan portfolios and increases in our allowance for credit losses. Sustained adverse effects may also increase our cost of capital, prevent us from satisfying our minimum regulatory capital ratios and other supervisory requirements, or result in downgrades in our credit ratings. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the continued effectiveness of our business continuity plan, the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our customers, employees, counterparties and service providers, and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. Governmental authorities have taken significant measures to provide economic assistance to individual households and businesses, stabilize the markets, and support economic growth. The success of these measures is unknown, and they may not be sufficient to fully mitigate the negative impact of the pandemic. Additionally, some measures, such as a suspension of consumer and commercial loan payments and the reduction in interest rates to near zero, may have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.

Furthermore, the U.S. economy is likely to experience or may currently be in a recession as a result of the pandemic, and our business could be materially and adversely affected by a prolonged recession. To the extent the pandemic adversely affects our business, financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

As a participating lender in the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), the Company and the Bank are subject to additional risks of litigation from the Bank’s customers or other parties regarding the Bank’s processing of loans for the PPP and risks that the SBA may not fund some or all PPP loan guaranties.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which included a loan program administered through the SBA referred to as the PPP. Under the PPP, small businesses and other entities and individuals can apply for loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders that enroll in the program, subject to numerous limitations and eligibility criteria. The Bank is participating as a lender in the PPP. The PPP opened on April 3, 2020; however, because of the short timeframe between the passing of the CARES Act and the opening of the PPP, there was some ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP, which exposes the Company to risks relating to noncompliance with the PPP.

55


Table of Contents

 

Since the opening of the PPP, several other larger banks have been subject to litigation regarding the process and procedures that such banks used in processing applications for the PPP and claims related to agent fees. The Company and the Bank may be exposed to the risk of similar litigation, from both customers and non-customers that approached the Bank regarding PPP loans, regarding its process and procedures used in processing applications for the PPP, or litigation from agents with respect to agent fees. If any such litigation is filed against the Company or the Bank and is not resolved in a manner favorable to the Company or the Bank, it may result in significant financial liability or adversely affect the Company’s reputation. In addition, litigation can be costly, regardless of outcome. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Bank also has credit risk on PPP loans if a determination is made by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or serviced by the Bank, such as an issue with the eligibility of a borrower to receive a PPP loan, which may or may not be related to the ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP. In the event of a loss resulting from a default on a PPP loan and a determination by the SBA that there was a deficiency in the manner in which the PPP loan was originated, funded, or serviced by the Company, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency from the Company.

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

On January 25, 2019, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorized the Company to repurchase up to 400,000 shares of its common stock in open market. During the first, second, and third quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 395,000 shares at an average price of $9.10 per share. The first stock repurchase program was terminated as of August 23, 2019.

On August 28, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved another stock repurchase program that authorized the Company to repurchase up to 475,000 shares of its common stock. The Company completed the second stock repurchase program in February 2020 at an average price of $9.75 per share.

On February 28, 2020, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved another stock repurchase program that authorized the Company to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its common stock. The Company completed the third stock repurchase program in May 2020 at an average price of $7.77 per share.
