General

Prime Meridian Holding Company (“PMHG”) owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Prime Meridian Bank (the "Bank") (collectively the "Company"). PMHG’s primary activity is the operation of the Bank. The Bank is a Florida state-chartered commercial bank, and the deposit accounts of the Bank are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Bank offers a variety of community banking services to individual and corporate clients through its four banking offices located in Tallahassee, Crawfordville, and Lakeland, Florida and its online banking platform.

The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and to general practices within the banking industry. The condensed consolidated financial statements in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of management, reflect all necessary adjustments for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and condensed consolidated results of operations. All adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and with the instructions to Form 10-Q adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial presentation and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2021. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period.

Comprehensive Income. GAAP generally requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in earnings. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on debt securities available for sale, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet, such items along with net earnings, are components of comprehensive income. The only component of other comprehensive income (loss) is the net change in the unrealized gain (loss) on debt securities available for sale.

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company expenses the fair value of stock options and restricted stock granted. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings over the vesting period.

Mortgage Banking Revenue. Mortgage banking revenue includes gains and losses on the sale of mortgage loans originated for sale and wholesale brokerage fees, net of commissions and deferred loan costs. The Company recognizes mortgage banking revenue from mortgage loans originated in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings upon sale of the loans.

Debit Card / ATM Revenue. Debit card/ATM revenue primarily includes interchange income from client use of consumer and business debit cards. Interchange income is paid by a merchant bank to the card-issuing bank through the interchange network. Interchange fees are set by the credit card associations and based on cardholder purchase volumes and purchase types. Also included in debit card/ATM revenue are ATM foreign fee income and ATM non-client ACH credits. This revenue line is shown net of debit card fees and ATM program expenses.

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation.

Derivatives. The Company enters into interest rate swaps in order to provide commercial loan clients the ability to swap from variable to fixed interest rates. Under these agreements, the Company enters into a variable rate loan with a client in addition to a swap agreement. This swap agreement effectively converts the client’s variable rate loan into a fixed rate. The Company then enters into a matching swap agreement with a third-party dealer in order to offset its exposure on the client swap. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes. The derivative transactions are considered instruments with no hedging designation, otherwise known as stand-alone derivatives.

Recent Accounting Standards Update.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU improves financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by the Company. The ASU requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. The Company will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for its circumstances. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization's portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on debt securities available for sale and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The new guidance was originally set to be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. However, on October 16, 2019, FASB approved an Accounting Standards Update that grants private companies, non-for-profit organizations and certain small public companies until January, 2023 to implement this ASU. The Company is classified as a small reporting company who would qualify for this additional time to implement this ASU. The Company is still in the process of determining the effect of the ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Debt Securities Available for Sale, Continued

The unrealized losses at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 on fourteen and seven securities, respectively, were caused by market conditions. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investments. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to market conditions and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. Debt securities available for sale measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

The Company has divided the loan portfolio into three portfolio segments and five portfolio classes, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing risk. All loans are underwritten based upon standards set forth in the policies approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company identifies the portfolio segments and classes as follows:

Real Estate Mortgage Loans. Real estate mortgage loans are typically divided into three classes: commercial, residential and home equity, and construction loans.

Commercial. Loans of this type are typically our more complex loans. This category of real estate loans is comprised of loans secured by mortgages on commercial property that are typically owner-occupied, but also includes nonowner-occupied investment properties. Commercial loans that are secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate are repaid through operating cash flows of the borrower. The maturity for this type of loan is generally limited to three to five years; however, payments may be structured on a longer amortization basis. Typically, interest rates on our commercial real estate loans are fixed for five years or less after which they adjust based upon a predetermined spread over a market index rate. At times, a rate may be fixed for longer than five years. As part of our credit underwriting standards, the Company typically requires personal guarantees from the principal owners of the business supported by a review of the principal owners’ personal financial statements and tax returns. As part of the enterprise risk management process, it is understood that risks associated with commercial real estate loans include fluctuations in real estate values, the overall strength of the borrower and the economy, new job creation trends, tenant vacancy rates, environmental contamination, and the quality of the borrowers’ management. In order to mitigate and limit these risks, we analyze the borrowers’ cash flows and evaluate collateral value. Currently, the collateral securing our commercial real estate loans includes a variety of property types, such as office, warehouse, and retail facilities. Other types include multifamily properties, hotels, mixed-use residential and commercial properties. Generally, commercial real estate loans present a higher risk profile than our consumer real estate loan portfolio.

Residential and Home Equity. The Company offers first and second one-to-four family mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit; the collateral for these loans is generally the clients' owner-occupied residences. Although these types of loans present lower levels of risk than commercial real estate loans, risks do still exist because of possible fluctuations in the value of the real estate collateral securing the loan, as well as changes in the borrowers' financial condition. The nonowner-occupied investment properties are more similar in risk to commercial real estate loans, and therefore, are underwritten by assessing the property’s income potential and appraised value. In both cases, we underwrite the borrower’s financial condition and evaluate his or her global cash flow position. Borrowers may be affected by numerous factors, including job loss, illness, or other personal hardship. As part of our product mix, the Bank offers both portfolio and secondary market mortgages; portfolio loans generally are based on a 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, 7-year, or 10-year adjustable rate mortgage; while 15-year or 30-year fixed-rate loans are generally sold in the secondary market.

Construction. Typically, these loans have a construction period of one to two years and the interest is paid monthly. Once the construction period terminates, some of these loans convert to a term loan with a maturity of one to ten years. This portion of our loan portfolio includes loans to small and midsized businesses to construct owner-user properties, loans to developers of commercial real estate investment properties, and residential developments. This type of loan is also made to individual clients for construction of single-family homes in our market area. An independent appraisal is used to determine the value of the collateral and confirm that the ratio of the loan principal to the value of the collateral will not exceed policies of the Bank. As the construction project progresses, loan proceeds are requested by the borrower to complete phases of construction and funding is only disbursed after the project has been inspected by a third-party inspector or experienced construction lender. Risks associated with construction loans include fluctuations in the value of real estate, project completion risk, and changes in market trends. The ability of the construction loan borrower to finance the loan or sell the property upon completion of the project is another risk factor that also may be affected by changes in market trends since the initial funding of the loan.

Commercial Loans. The Company offers a wide range of commercial loans, including business term loans, equipment financing, lines of credit, and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loans, including Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans. Small-to-medium sized businesses, retail, and professional establishments, make up our target market for commercial loans. Our Relationship Managers primarily underwrite these loans based on the borrower's ability to service the loan from cash flow. Lines of credit and loans secured by accounts receivable and/or inventory are monitored periodically by our staff. Loans secured by "all business assets," or a "blanket lien" are typically only made to highly qualified borrowers due to the nonspecific nature of the collateral and do not require a formal valuation of the business collateral. When commercial loans are secured by specifically identified collateral, then the valuation of the collateral is generally supported by an appraisal, purchase order, or third-party physical inspection. Personal guarantees of the principals of business borrowers are usually required. Equipment loans generally have a term of five years or less and may have a fixed or variable rate; we use conservative margins when pricing these loans. Working capital loans generally do not exceed one year and typically, they are secured by accounts receivable, inventory, and personal guarantees of the principals of the business. The Bank currently offers SBA 504 and SBA 7A loans. SBA 504 loans provide financing for major fixed assets such as real estate and equipment while SBA 7A loans are generally used to establish a new business or assist in the acquisition, operation, or expansion of an existing business. With both SBA loan programs, there are set eligibility requirements and underwriting standards outlined by SBA that can change as the government alters its fiscal policy. Significant factors affecting a commercial borrower's creditworthiness include the quality of management and the ability both to evaluate changes in the supply and demand characteristics affecting the business' markets for products and services and to respond effectively to such changes. These loans may be made unsecured or secured, but most are made on a secured basis. Risks associated with our commercial loan portfolio include local, regional, and national market conditions. Other factors of risk could include changes in the borrower's management and fluctuations in collateral value. Additionally, there may be refinancing risk if a commercial loan includes a balloon payment which must be refinanced or paid off at loan maturity. In reference to our risk management process, our commercial loan portfolio presents a higher risk profile than our consumer real estate and consumer loan portfolios. Therefore, we require that all loans to businesses must have a clearly stated and reasonable payment plan to allow for timely retirement of debt, unless secured by liquid collateral or as otherwise justified.

Consumer and Other Loans. These loans are made for various consumer purposes, such as the financing of automobiles, boats, and recreational vehicles. The payment structure of these loans is normally on an installment basis. The risk associated with this category of loans stems from the reduced collateral value for a defaulted loan; the collateral may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the principal. The underwriting on these loans is primarily based on the borrower's financial condition. In many cases, these are unsecured credits that subject us to risk when the borrower's financial condition declines or deteriorates. Based upon our current trend in consumer loans, management does not anticipate consumer loans will become a substantial component of our loan portfolio at any time in the foreseeable future. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates and are based on the appropriate amortization for the asset and purpose.

The following summarizes the loan credit quality:

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. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. Loans classified as substandard or special mention are reviewed quarterly by the Company for further deterioration or improvement to determine if they are appropriately classified and whether there is any impairment. All loans are graded upon initial issuance. Furthermore, construction loans, nonowner-occupied commercial real estate loans, and commercial loan relationships in excess of $500,000 are reviewed at least annually. The Company determines the appropriate loan grade during the renewal process and reevaluates the loan grade in situations when a loan becomes past due.

Loans excluded from the review process above are generally classified as pass credits until: (a) they become past due; (b) management becomes aware of deterioration in the credit worthiness of the borrower; or (c) the client contacts the Company for a modification. In these circumstances, the loan is specifically evaluated for potential classification as to special mention, substandard or even charged-off. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass – A Pass loan's primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary.

Special Mention – A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company's credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard – A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – A loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss – A loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not necessarily preclude the potential for recovery, but rather signifies it is no longer practical to defer writing off the asset.

The restructuring of a loan constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the creditor grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider in the normal course of business. A concession may include an extension of repayment terms which would not normally be granted, a reduction in interest rate or the forgiveness of principal and/or accrued interest. All TDRs are evaluated individually for impairment on a quarterly basis as part of the allowance for loan losses calculation. During the period of national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the banking regulatory agencies have confirmed with FASB that certain short-term loan modifications made in response to the pandemic's effects on borrowers should not be considered to be TDRs. The Company entered into no new TDRs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. At June 30, 2021, the Company had no loans identified as TDRs.

Regulatory Capital

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

The Bank is subject to the Basel III capital level threshold requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations. These regulations were designed to ensure that banks maintain strong capital positions even in the event of severe economic downturns or unforeseen losses.

The Bank is subject to the capital conservation buffer rules which place limitations on distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. In order to avoid these limitations, a bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above its minimum risk-based capital requirements. As of June 30, 2021, the Bank’s capital conservation buffer exceeded the minimum requirement of 2.50%.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and percentages (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 2021, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of June 30, 2021, the Bank is well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as adequately capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage percentages as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and percentages are also presented in the following table.

						*For Capital Adequacy*					*For Well Capitalized*

(dollars in thousands)	*Amount*		*Percentage*			*Amount*		*Percentage*			*Amount*		*Percentage*

(5)	Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share, (“EPS”) have been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, outstanding stock options are considered dilutive securities for purposes of calculating diluted EPS which was computed using the treasury stock method.

2015 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan

The 2015 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”) was approved by the shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders on May 20, 2015 and permits the Company to grant the Company’s key employees and directors stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, and phantom stock. Under the 2015 Plan, the number of shares which may be issued is 500,000, but in no instance more than 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

As of June 30, 2021, 191,398 shares are available to be issued as restricted stock or underlying options. A summary of the stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

Directors’ Plan

In 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders adopted the Directors’ Plan. The Directors’ Plan permits the Company’s and the Bank’s non-employee directors to elect to receive any compensation to be paid to them in shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Directors’ Plan, each non-employee director is permitted to make an election to receive shares of stock instead of cash. To encourage directors to elect to receive stock, the Directors’ Plan provides that if a director elects to receive stock, he or she will receive in common stock 110% of the amount of cash fees set by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The value of stock to be awarded pursuant to the Directors’ Plan will be the closing price of a share of common stock as traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or a price set by the Board or its Compensation Committee, acting in good faith, but in no case less than fair market value. The maximum number of shares to be issued pursuant to the Directors’ Plan is limited to 74,805 shares. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our directors received 1,680 and 1,165 shares of common stock, respectively, in lieu of cash fees calculated at 110% to be $33,000 and $21,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our directors received 2,802 and 2,160 shares of common stock, respectively, in lieu of cash fees calculated at 110% to be $55,000 and $41,000, respectively. At June 30, 2021, 43,906 shares remained available for grant.

Restricted Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company issued 4,081 and 3,835 restricted common stock shares, respectively, to its CEO as part of his bonus incentive earned for the Company’s performance in 2020 and 2019, respectively. The restricted stock awards are on a three-year vesting schedule. Holders of restricted stock have the right to vote and the right to receive dividends declared on common stock, if any. A summary of restricted stock transactions follows:

				*Wtd-Avg*

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $34,000 and $22,000, respectively, as expense. At June 30, 2021, the Company had $120,000 in unrecognized expense to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Other Borrowings

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances are collateralized by a blanket lien on qualifying residential real estate, commercial real estate, home equity lines of credit and multi-family loans. Under this blanket lien, the Company could borrow up to $52.8 million at June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding loans under this line.

In 2020, the Company entered into a Promissory Note (the "Note") and a Security Agreement with Thomasville National Bank ("TNB"). Pursuant to the Note, the Company obtained a $15 million revolving line of credit with a 5-year term. The initial interest rate on the line of credit is 3.25% and will adjust daily to the then-current Wall Street Journal Prime Rate. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company has pledged to TNB all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. At June 30, 2021, the Company reported a $3,075,000 outstanding loan balance and $7,000 in year-to-date interest expense under this line of credit.

(8)

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has entered into interest rate swaps in order to provide commercial real estate loan clients the ability to swap from variable to fixed interest rates. Under these agreements, the Company enters into a variable rate loan with a client at a specified index (Wall Street Journal Prime Lending Rate) in addition to a borrower swap agreement. This swap agreement effectively converts the client’s variable rate loan into a fixed rate. The Company then enters into a matching swap agreement with a third-party dealer counterparty in order to offset its exposure on the borrower swap. These interest rate swaps are considered derivative financial instruments. These derivative instruments involve both credit and market risk. The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments, and the value of the derivatives are based. Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any, over the life of the contract. Such differences, which represent the fair value of the derivative instruments, are included in “other assets” and “other liabilities” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the net change in each of these financial statement line items in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The derivative transactions are considered instruments with no hedging designation, otherwise known as stand-alone derivatives.

The Company is party to a collateral support agreement with its dealer counterparty. Such agreement requires that the Company or the dealer counterparty to maintain collateral based on the fair values of derivative instruments. In the event of default by a counterparty the non-defaulting counterparty would be entitled to the collateral. The Company does not require borrower counterparties to post cash collateral based on the fair values of borrower interest rate swaps. In the event of default of a borrower counterparty wherein the fair value of the derivative instrument is owed to the Company, the fair value is collected through a real property foreclosure or liquidation.

(9)	Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its clients. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit, construction loans in process, unused lines of credit, standby letters of credit, and guaranteed accounts and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for available lines of credit, construction loans in process and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit, construction loans in process and unused lines of credit are agreements to lend to a client 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 some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each client’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. These letters of credit are primarily issued to support third-party borrowing arrangements and generally have expiration dates within one year of issuance. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to clients. In the event the client does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, we would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If the commitment is funded, we would be entitled to seek recovery from the client. Some of the Company’s standby letters of credit are secured by collateral and those secured letters of credit totaled $484,000 at June 30, 2021.

Guaranteed accounts are irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by us to guarantee a client’s credit line with our third-party credit card company, First Arkansas Bank & Trust. As a part of this agreement, we are responsible for the established credit limit on certain accounts plus 10%. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make is represented by the dollar amount disclosed in the table below.

Standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded.

The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make for off-balance sheet financial instruments is represented by the dollar amount disclosed in the table below.

	At June 30, 2021
(in thousands)
Commitments to extend credit	$	11,111

Contingency

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, the duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness and adoption of available vaccines, and the actions taken by governmental authorities to slow the spread of the disease or to mitigate its effects. We continue to monitor and adhere to national guidelines and local safety ordinances to ensure the safety of our clients and employees. At this time, it is not known how the more contagious Delta variant and the consequential rise in cases nationally may impact the economy, safety protocols or consumer behavior.

Management believes credit quality deterioration directly related to the pandemic could materialize in the future. Since March of 2020, the Company has reported a peak of 70 requests for payment deferrals or modifications on loans totaling $42.4 million. Approximately 91% of the requests have been for loans secured with real estate. That number declined to one loan modification totaling $411,000 as of June 30, 2021.

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

Management’s discussion and analysis is presented to aid the reader in understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of Prime Meridian Holding Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Prime Meridian Bank. This discussion and analysis should be read with the condensed consolidated financial statements, the footnotes thereto, and the other financial data included in this report and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021are not necessarily indicative of results that may be attained for any other period. The following discussion and analysis present our financial condition and results of operations on a consolidated basis, however, because we conduct all of our material business operations through the Bank, the discussion and analysis relate to activities primarily conducted at the subsidiary level.

Words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “is confident that,” and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty and a variety of factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements. We do not have a policy of updating or revising forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by law, and silence by management over time should not be construed to mean that actual events are occurring as estimated in such forward-looking statements.

Our ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our and our subsidiary’s operations include, but are not limited to, changes in:

•

local, regional, and national economic and business conditions;

•

banking laws, compliance, and the regulatory environment;

•

U.S. and global securities markets, public debt markets, and other capital markets;

•

monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government;

•

litigation, tax, and other regulatory matters;

•

competition;

•

attraction and retention of key personnel, including our management team and directors;

•

technology, product delivery channels, and end user demands and acceptance of new products;

natural disasters, public unrest, adverse weather, pandemics, public health, and other conditions impacting our or our clients’ operations;

•

other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, or technological factors affecting us; and

GENERAL

Prime Meridian Holding Company (“PMHG”) was incorporated as a Florida corporation on May 25, 2010, and is the one-bank holding company for, and sole shareholder of, Prime Meridian Bank (the “Bank”) (collectively, the “Company”). The Bank opened for business on February 4, 2008 and was acquired by PMHG on September 16, 2010. PMHG has no significant operations other than owning the stock of the Bank. The Bank offers a broad array of commercial and retail banking services through four full-service offices located in Tallahassee, Crawfordville, and Lakeland, Florida and through its online banking platform.

As a one-bank holding company, we generate most of our revenue from interest on loans and investments. Our primary source of funding for our loans is deposits. Our largest expenses are interest on those deposits and salaries and employee benefits. We measure our performance through our net interest margin, return on average assets, and return on average equity, while maintaining appropriate regulatory leverage and risk-based capital ratios.

The following table shows selected information for the periods ended or at the dates indicated:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our critical accounting policies which involve significant judgments and assumptions that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities and used in preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2021, have remained unchanged from the disclosures presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

COVID-19 RESPONSE

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, the duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness and adoption of available vaccines, and the actions taken by governmental authorities to slow the spread of the disease or to mitigate its effects. We continue to monitor and adhere to national guidelines and local safety ordinances to ensure the safety of our clients and employees. At this time, it is not known how the more contagious Delta variant and the consequential rise in cases nationally may impact the economy, safety protocols or consumer behavior.

Management believes credit quality deterioration directly related to the pandemic could materialize in the future. Since March of 2020, the Company has reported a peak of 70 requests for payment deferrals or modifications on loans totaling $42.4 million. Approximately 91% of the requests have been for loans secured with real estate. That number declined to one loan modification totaling $411,000 as of June 30, 2021.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Average assets totaled $731.7 million and $703.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, an increase of $115.0 million (18.7%) and $140.0 million(24.8%), over the comparable periods in 2020, with the majority of growth coming from loans. The average balance of PPP loans increased $7.2 million from the second quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2021 and $39.1 million from the six month period ended June 30, 2020 to the six month period ended June 30, 2021 and accounted for approximately 13.0% and 41.9% of the growth in the average loan balance over those same time periods.

Investment Securities. Our primary objective in managing our investment portfolio is to maintain a portfolio of high quality, highly liquid investments yielding competitive returns. We use the investment securities portfolio for several purposes. It serves as a vehicle to manage interest rate and prepayment risk, to generate interest and dividend income, to provide liquidity to meet funding requirements, and to provide collateral for pledging to secure the deposit of public funds at the Bank. At June 30, 2021, our debt securities available for sale investment portfolio included U.S. government agency securities, municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. As of the same date, this portfolio had a fair market value of $63.3 million and an amortized cost value of $62.4 million. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our investment securities portfolio represented approximately 8.4% and 9.6% of our total assets, respectively. The average yield on the average balance of investment securities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 1.71%, compared to 2.47% for the comparable period in 2020.

Loans. Our primary earning asset is our loan portfolio and our primary source of income is the interest earned on the loan portfolio. Our loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate loans, construction loans, and commercial loans made to small-to-medium sized companies and their owners, as well as residential real estate loans, including first and second mortgages, and consumer loans. Our goal is to maintain a high-quality portfolio of loans through sound underwriting and lending practices. We work diligently to attract new lending clients through direct solicitation by our loan officers, utilizing relationship networks from existing clients, competitive pricing, and innovative structure. Our loans are priced based upon the degree of risk, collateral, loan amount, and maturity.

The Company’s gross loan portfolio decreased $5.8 million since December 31, 2020. Excluding the quarter-end balance of PPP loans ($66.7 million at December 31, 2020 and $54.6 million at June 30, 2021), the Company's gross loan portfolio increased $6.4 million since 2020 year-end. This was following a high level ($57.5 million) of non-PPP loan payoffs in the first half of the year. At June 30, 2021, PPP loans comprised $54.6 million, or 11.4%, of total loans. Management expects that the majority of these loans will be forgiven by the end of 2021. In total, approximately 73.4% of the total loan portfolio was collateralized by commercial and residential real estate mortgages at June 30, 2021 compared to 69.5% at December 31, 2020. Subtracting out the PPP loans, the percentage of the total loan portfolio collateralized by commercial and residential real estate mortgages was 82.8% at June 30, 2021.

Nonperforming assets. At June 30, 2021, the Company had zero nonperforming assets compared to $1.25 million of nonperforming assets at December 31, 2020. We generally place loans on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days or more past due, unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. We also place loans on nonaccrual status if they are less than 90 days past due if the collection of principal or interest is in doubt. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any interest previously accrued, but not collected, is reversed from income. At June 30, 2021, the Bank had no loans on nonaccrual status, compared to five nonaccrual loans totaling $1.25 million at December 31, 2020. Accounting standards require the Company to identify loans as impaired loans when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. These standards require that impaired loans be valued at the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, using one of the following methods: the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. We implement these standards in our monthly review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and identify and value impaired loans in accordance with GAAP.

Allowance for Loan Losses. Management’s policy is to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. During the second quarter of 2021, the Bank reported a $185,000 credit for loan losses due to no specific reserve requirements, loan recoveries, and a decrease in the amount of COVID-19 unallocated reserve. The Company did not carry any aggregate specific reserves at June 30, 2021. The Company reported net charge-offs of $13,000, or 0.01% annualized of average loans, during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to net charge-offs of $686,000, or 0.64% annualized of average loans, in the second quarter of 2020. Management believes the allowance for loan losses, which was $5.9 million or 1.39% of gross loans (excluding PPP loans) at June 30, 2021 is adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Deposits. Deposits are the major source of the Company’s funds for lending and other investment purposes. Total deposits at June 30, 2021 were $683.4 million, an increase of $102.8 million, or 17.7%, from December 31, 2020, with growth coming from both noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing accounts and attributed to expansion of existing relationships, the addition of new clients, and to a lesser extent, due to PPP activity. The average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits accounted for 29.2% of the average balance of total deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 24.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. While management expects some shrinkage in deposits as remaining PPP funds are spent, management expects the majority of the increase in total deposits will remain long-term.

Borrowings. The Bank has an agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) and pledges its qualified loans as collateral which would allow the Bank, as of June 30, 2021, to borrow up to $52.8 million. In addition, the Bank maintains unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks that totaled $28.0 million at June 30, 2021. There were no loans outstanding under any of these lines at June 30, 2021.

In 2020, the Company entered into a Promissory Note (the "Note") and a Security Agreement with Thomasville National Bank ("TNB"). Pursuant to the Note, the Company obtained a $15 million revolving line of credit with a 5-year term. The initial interest rate on the line of credit is 3.25% and will adjust daily to the then-current Wall Street Journal Prime Rate. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company has pledged to TNB all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. At June 30, 2021, the Company had a $3,075,000 outstanding loan balance and reported $7,000 in year-to-date interest expense under this line.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net interest income constitutes the principal source of income for the Bank and results from the excess of interest income on interest-earning assets over interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The principal interest-earning assets are investment securities and loans. Interest-bearing liabilities primarily consist of time deposits, interest-bearing checking accounts, savings deposits, and money-market accounts. Funds attracted by these interest-bearing liabilities are invested in interest-earning assets. Accordingly, net interest income depends upon the volume of average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities as well as the interest rates earned or paid on these assets and liabilities. The following tables set forth information regarding: (i) the total dollar amount of interest and dividend income of the Company from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average costs; (iii) net interest income; (iv) interest-rate spread; (v) net interest margin; and (vi) weighted-average yields and rates. Yields and costs were derived by dividing annualized income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities. The yields and costs depicted in the table include the amortization of fees, which are considered to constitute adjustments to yields.

As shown in the following table, the Company's net interest margin improved slightly for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 as lower funding costs and PPP fee and interest income offset an overall downward repricing of earning assets and a shift in the asset mix towards lower-yielding earnings assets triggered by excess liquidity.

Net earnings	$	2,262		$	720	$	1,542			214.2	%

Compared to the same period a year ago, the increase in net earnings was driven by higher PPP origination fees, higher commercial real estate and residential real estate loan originations, and a $185,000 credit for loan losses. Lower funding costs on deposits and higher noninterest income also contributed to higher net earnings in the second quarter of 2021.

Net Interest Income

Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividend income on interest-earning assets such as loans and securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits.

Interest income
(dollars in thousands)
					Change 2Q'21 vs. 2Q'20
	2Q'21		2Q'20		Amount			Percentage
Interest income:
Loans	$	5,632	$	4,844	$	788			16.3	%

Other		65		62		3			4.8
Total interest income	$	5,959	$	5,334	$	625			11.7	%

Compared to the second quarter of 2020, the increase in total interest income is mostly attributed to origination fees and interest income from a higher volume of commercial real estate and residential real estate loan and PPP loans. The decrease in interest income from securities since the second quarter of 2020 is a function of lower volume and rates.

Interest expense:
(dollars in thousands)					Change 2Q'21 vs. 2Q'20
	2Q'21		2Q'20		Amount			Percentage
Total interest expense	$	507	$	765	$	(258	)		(33.7	)%

Despite higher balances of interest-bearing liabilities, total interest expense declined $258,000 from the second quarter of 2020 due to lower funding costs. The average rate paid on deposits declined 35 basis points when compared to the second quarter of 2020.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to increase the total loan loss allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management. The provision is based upon the volume and type of lending conducted by the Bank, industry standards, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to our market areas, and other factors related to our historic loss experience and the collectability of the loan portfolio. The Company recorded a $185,000 credit to loan losses during the second quarter of 2021 due to no specific reserve requirements, loan recoveries, and a decrease in the amount of COVID-19 unallocated reserve. This differs greatly from the $1.2 million provision expense in the second quarter of 2020, which was affected by net charge-offs of $686,000 and the creation of an unallocated reserve in anticipation, at that time, of possible COVID-19 related credit deterioration.

While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future losses will not exceed the amount of the established allowance for loan losses, or that any increased allowance for loan losses that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in additions to our provision for loan losses based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of examination.

Noninterest income

Other income		41		32		9		28.1
Total noninterest income	$	620	$	414	$	206		49.8	%

Compared to the second quarter of 2020, noninterest income increased across all earning categories and was primarily driven by the 51.6% increase in mortgage banking revenue (net of costs), as the mortgage team continues to report strong production by units, volume, and gain on sales revenue. Growth in debit card/ATM revenue (net of fees) also continues to contribute positively to the bottom line as more accounts are opened and more debit cards are issued. Income from bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) increased $27,000 or 67.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2020, due primarily to a $5.4 million increase in the asset year over year, which has helped offset additional compensation expense.

Noninterest expense
(dollars in thousands)					Change 2Q'21 vs. 2Q'20
	2Q'21		2Q'20		Amount			Percentage
Salaries and employee benefits	$	1,805	$	1,546	$	259			16.8	%

Other		476		441		35			7.9
Total noninterest expense	$	3,278	$	2,819	$	459			16.3	%

Compared to the second quarter of 2020, a $259,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was the primary driver of the $459,000 increase in noninterest expense. The increase in salary and employee benefits expense is primarily attributed to higher incentive costs along with the impact of new hires and merit increases. Marketing expense nearly doubled year over year due to the recent relaxing of COVID-19 restrictions which had led to lower marketing expense in the second quarter of 2020. This combined with modest increases in other categories like software maintenance, professional fees, and other miscellaneous expenses were marginally offset by lower occupancy and FDIC assessment expense.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are based on amounts reported in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings after adjustments for nontaxable income and nondeductible expenses and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes on temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Income taxes were $717,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to income taxes of $217,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, with the increase attributed to higher pre-tax earnings in 2021. The effective tax rate was 24.1% in the second quarter of 2021 versus 23.2% in the second quarter of 2020.

Year-to-date net earnings through June 30, 2021 more than tripled compared to the same period in 2020 due mostly to interest income and origination fees from PPP loans (totaling $1.9 million, net of costs, year-to-date) and a credit for loan losses in 2021. Also contributing to higher profitability in 2021 was a $511,000, or 65.4%, increase in noninterest income.

Total interest income	$	12,062	$	10,379	$	1,683			16.2	%

Comparing the six-month periods, the increase in total interest income from loans in 2021 is primarily attributed to $1.9 million of interest income and fees (net of costs) generated from PPP loans compared to $392,000 for the first half of 2020. A higher volume of commercial real estate and residential real estate loan originations in the first half of 2021 also contributed to increased interest income from loans. The decrease in interest income from securities is a function of lower volume and rates while the decrease in interest income from other interest-earning assets is a function of lower rates.

Comparing the six-month periods, a $69.8 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities was offset by a 42 basis points decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company did not record any provision for loan losses during the first quarter of 2021 due to a $7.0 million reduction in total portfolio loan balances (excluding PPP loans) since year-end 2020. During the second quarter, the Company reported a credit for loan losses of $185,000 due to no specific reserve requirements, loan recoveries, and a decrease in the amount of COVID-19 unallocated reserve. This differed greatly from the six months ended June 30, 2020 when the Company's provision for loan losses increased substantially over prior periods due to $1.0 million in net charge-offs and the creation of an unallocated reserve in anticipation, at that time, of possible COVID-19 related credit deterioration.

Noninterest income

Other income		79		66		13		19.7
Total noninterest income	$	1,292	$	781	$	511		65.4	%

Comparing the six-month periods, increases in debit card/ATM revenue (net of fees), mortgage banking revenue (net of direct origination costs) and BOLI combined with the $108,000 gain on sale of securities led to the $511,000 (65.4%) increase in noninterest income. The mortgage team has continued to see strong volume through the first half of 2021. The percentage of refinances to purchases has decreased and a higher purchase volume environment has returned. The mortgage team almost doubled its units in the first six months of 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 and increased dollar volume by 54.6%. The Bank's investment in BOLI has nearly doubled since June 2020, resulting in higher income to offset additional compensation expense. Increases in debit card/ATM net revenue are attributed to growth in transaction deposit accounts and the number of debit cards issued.

Over 60% of the increase in noninterest expense in the first half of 2021 is attributed to higher salary and commission expense. At June 30, 2021, the Company had six additional FTEs compared to June 30, 2020. The increases in other noninterest expense categories, for the most part, represent a growing bank.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are based on amounts reported in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings after adjustments for nontaxable income and nondeductible expenses and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes on temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Income taxes were $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to income taxes of $437,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, with the increase attributed to higher pre-tax earnings in 2021. The effective tax rate was 24.1% for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 versus 23.3% for the six month period ended June 30, 2020.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity describes our ability to meet financial obligations, including lending commitments and contingencies, which arise during the normal course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of the Company’s clients, as well as meet current and planned expenditures. Management monitors the liquidity position daily.

Our liquidity is derived primarily from our deposit base, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loans and investment securities, funds provided by operations, and capital. Additionally, as a commercial bank, we are expected to maintain an adequate liquidity reserve. The liquidity reserve may consist of cash on hand, cash on demand deposit with correspondent banks, federal funds sold, and unpledged marketable securities such as United States government agency securities, municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities.

The Bank also has external sources of funds through the FHLB, unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks, and the State of Florida’s Qualified Public Deposit Program (“QPD”). At June 30, 2021, the Bank had access to approximately $52.8 million of available lines of credit secured by qualifying collateral with the FHLB, in addition to $28.0 million in unsecured lines of credit maintained with correspondent banks.

The Company has a $15 million revolving line of credit with TNB. As of June 30, 2021, the Company's outstanding borrowings under this line totaled $3,075,000.

Some of our securities are pledged to collateralize certain deposits through our participation in the State of Florida’s QPD program. The market value of securities pledged to the QPD program was $12.3 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $13.9 million at December 31, 2020. Our primary liquid assets, excluding assets pledged to the QPD program, accounted for 30.7% and 18.1% of total assets at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Our core deposits consist of noninterest-bearing accounts, NOW accounts, money-market accounts, time deposits $250,000 or less, and savings accounts. We closely monitor our level of certificates of deposit greater than $250,000 and other large deposits. At June 30, 2021, total deposits were $683.4 million, of which $21.2 million were in certificates of deposits greater than $250,000, excluding Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). We maintain a Contingency Funding Plan (“CFP”) that identifies liquidity needs and weighs alternate courses of action designed to address those needs in emergency situations. We perform a monthly cash flow analysis and stress test the CFP to evaluate the expected funding needs and funding capacity during a liquidity stress event. We believe that the sources of available liquidity are adequate to meet all reasonably immediate short-term and intermediate-term demands and do not know of any trends, events, or uncertainties that may result in a significant adverse effect on our liquidity position.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Stockholders’ equity was $63.8 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $60.3 million at December 31, 2020. In 2020, the Company obtained a $15 million revolving line of credit with TNB. At its discretion, the Company may take draws on that line and may contribute the proceeds as capital to the Bank. At June 30, 2021, the Company had a $3,075,000 outstanding loan balance and reported year-to-date interest expense of $7,000 under this revolving line of credit. The Company contributed $2.2 million to the capital of the Bank during the second quarter of 2021.

At June 30, 2021, the Bank was considered to be “well capitalized” under the FDIC’s Prompt Corrective Action regulations with a 9.01% Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio, a 13.87% Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, a 13.87% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, and a 15.11% Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio, all above the minimum ratios to be considered “well capitalized.”

The following is a summary at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 of the regulatory capital requirements to be “well capitalized” and the Bank’s capital position.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon management’s evaluation of those controls and procedures performed within the 90 days preceding the filing of this Report, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, subject to the limitations noted below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by PMHG in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

We intend to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and to improve the Company’s controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that we may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and nonfinancial information concerning the Company’s business. While we believe the present design of the disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

We have made no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

(c) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are a party to various matters incidental to the conduct of a banking business. Presently, we believe that we are not a party to any legal proceedings in which resolution would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation, cash flows, or capital levels.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

While the Company attempts to identify, manage, and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with its business to the extent practical under the circumstances, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 describes some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our cash flows, results of operations, and financial condition.

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

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company issued 1,680 shares to members of its Board of Directors in lieu of cash fees calculated at 110% to be $33,000. These shares were all issued in accordance with the intrastate exemption from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, because the Company is doing business within the State of Florida and each acquirer and offeree of securities resides within the State of Florida.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

Not applicable.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

Not applicable.
