SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
 
POLICIES
 
Overview
USCB Financial Holdings, Inc., a
 
Florida corporation incorporated
 
in 2021, is a bank holding
 
company with one wholly
owned subsidiary,
 
U.S. Century Bank (the
 
“Bank”), together referred to
 
as “the Company”. The Bank,
 
established in 2002,
is a Florida
 
state-chartered, non-member financial institution providing financial
 
services through its banking
 
centers located
in South Florida.
During the year ended December 31,
 
2021, the Bank completed an initial
 
public offering (“IPO”) and
 
its Class A voting
common shares began
 
trading on the
 
Nasdaq Stock
 
Market in July
 
2021. In December
 
2021, the Bank
 
exchanged all the
outstanding
 
shares
 
of
 
Class
 
B
 
non-voting
 
common
 
stock
 
for
 
shares
 
of
 
Class
 
A
 
voting
 
common
 
stock
 
on
 
a
 
one
 
to
 
five
exchange. Shortly thereafter,
 
the Company acquired all issued and
 
outstanding shares of Class A voting
 
common stock of
the Bank
 
in connection with
 
the reorganization
 
of the
 
Bank into
 
the holding company
 
form of
 
structure.
 
For further information
on the IPO and the exchange and redemption of shares
 
,
 
see Note 8 “Stockholders’ Equity”.
The Company’s
 
Consolidated Financial
 
Statements consist
 
of USCB
 
Financial Holdings,
 
Inc. and
 
U.S. Century
 
Bank
as of
 
September 30, 2022 and
 
December 31, 2021 and for
 
the three and
 
nine months ended
 
September 30, 2022 compared
to only U.S. Century Bank as of September 30, 2021
 
and for the three and nine months ended September
 
30, 2021.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to
Form 10-Q and
 
do not include all
 
the information and
 
footnotes required by U.S.
 
generally accepted accounting
 
principles
(“U.S.
 
GAAP”)
 
for
 
complete
 
financial
 
statements.
 
All
 
adjustments
 
consisting
 
of
 
normally
 
recurring
 
accruals
 
that,
 
in
 
the
opinion
 
of
 
management,
 
are
 
necessary
 
for
 
a
 
fair
 
presentation
 
of
 
the
 
financial
 
position
 
and
 
results
 
of
 
operations
 
for
 
the
periods presented
 
have been
 
included. These
 
unaudited consolidated
 
financial statements
 
should be
 
read in
 
conjunction
with
 
the
 
Company’s
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
and
 
related
 
notes
 
appearing
 
in the
 
Company’s
 
Annual
 
Report
 
on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Principles of Consolidation
The
 
Company
 
consolidates
 
entities
 
in
 
which
 
it
 
has
 
a
 
controlling
 
financial
 
interest.
 
Intercompany
 
transactions
 
and
balances are eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
To prepare
 
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP,
 
management makes estimates and assumptions based
on available
 
information. These
 
estimates and
 
assumptions
 
affect
 
the amounts
 
reported in
 
the financial
 
statements. The
most significant
 
estimates impacting
 
the Company’s
 
consolidated financial
 
statements are
 
the allowance
 
for credit
 
losses
and income taxes.
Reclassifications
Certain
 
amounts
 
in
 
the
 
Consolidated
 
Financial
 
Statements
 
have
 
been
 
reclassified
 
to
 
conform
 
to
 
the
 
current
presentation. Reclassifications had no impact on the net income
 
or stockholders’ equity of the Company.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Issued and Not Yet Adopted
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June
 
2016, the FASB issued
 
ASU 2016-13, Financial
 
Instruments - Credit
 
Losses (Topic 326); Measurement of
 
Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments. This accounting standard update (“ASU” or “Update”)
 
on accounting for current expected
credit
 
losses
 
on
 
financial
 
instruments
 
(“CECL”)
 
will
 
replace
 
the
 
current
 
probable
 
incurred
 
loss
 
impairment
 
methodology
under U.S. GAAP
 
with a methodology
 
that reflects the
 
expected credit losses.
 
The Update is
 
intended to provide
 
financial
statement
 
users
 
with
 
more
 
decision-useful
 
information
 
about
 
expected
 
credit
 
losses.
 
This
 
Update
 
is
 
applicable
 
to
 
the
Company
 
on
 
a modified
 
retrospective
 
basis
 
for
 
interim
 
and
 
annual
 
periods
 
in
 
fiscal
 
years
 
beginning
 
after
 
December 15,

USCB Financial Holdings, Inc.
 
Q3 2022 Form 10-Q
2022. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those
fiscal
 
years.
 
The
 
Company
 
expects
 
to
 
adopt
 
this
 
ASU
 
on
 
January 1,
 
2023.
 
The
 
impact
 
of
 
adoption
 
on
 
the
 
Company’s
financial statements
 
will depend on
 
the composition
 
of the loan
 
and investment
 
securities portfolio
 
as of January
 
1, 2023,
general economic conditions,
 
and other factors that
 
are not known at
 
this time. Although
 
management is in the
 
process of
evaluating the impact of
 
adoption of this ASU on
 
its consolidated financial statements,
 
management does believe that
 
this
ASU will lead to significant changes
 
in accounting policies and disclosures
 
related to, and the methods used
 
in estimating,
the
 
ACL.
 
The
 
Company
 
has
 
developed
 
a
 
detailed
 
implementation
 
plan
 
through
 
the
 
date
 
of
 
adoption
 
that
 
includes
 
the
implementation of a software solution to assist
 
with the CECL implementation process and is developing
 
measurements in
parallel
 
with
 
the
 
current
 
methodology.
 
To
 
date,
 
the
 
Company
 
has
 
initiated
 
policy
 
discussion
 
with
 
key
 
stakeholders,
completed a data
 
gap analysis
 
and retained the
 
services of a
 
third-party consulting
 
firm to perform
 
an independent model
validation prior to adoption.
Reference Rate Reform
In
 
March
 
2020,
 
the
 
FASB
 
issued
 
ASU
 
2020-04,
 
Reference
 
Rate
 
Reform
 
(Topic
 
848),
 
Facilitation
 
of
 
the
 
Effects
 
of
Reference Rate Reform
 
on Financial Reporting.
 
In January 2021,
 
the FASB
 
clarified the scope
 
of this guidance
 
with ASU
2021-01 which provides optional
 
guidance for a limited
 
period of time to
 
ease the burden in
 
accounting for (or
 
recognizing
the effects of)
 
reference rate reform on
 
financial reporting. This ASU
 
is effective from March 12,
 
2020 through December 31,
2022. The
 
Company is
 
evaluating the
 
impact of
 
this ASU
 
and has
 
not yet
 
determined whether
 
LIBOR transition
 
and this
ASU will have a material effect on our business operations
 
and consolidated financial statements.
Trouble Debt Restructuring
In
 
March
 
2022,
 
the
 
FASB
 
issued
 
ASU
 
2022-02,
 
Financial
 
Instruments—Credit
 
Losses
 
(Topic
 
326):
 
Troubled
 
Debt
Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.
 
This ASU eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance on troubled debt
restructurings for
 
creditors and
 
aligns it
 
with existing
 
guidance to
 
determine whether
 
a loan
 
modification results
 
in a
 
new
loan
 
or
 
a
 
continuation
 
of
 
an
 
existing
 
loan.
 
The
 
new
 
guidance
 
also
 
requires
 
enhanced
 
disclosures
 
about
 
certain
 
loan
modifications by
 
creditors
 
when a
 
borrower is
 
experiencing financial
 
difficulty.
 
This ASU
 
is effective
 
in periods
 
beginning
after
 
December
 
15,
 
2022,
 
using
 
either
 
a
 
prospective
 
or
 
modified
 
retrospective
 
transition
 
approach.
 
Early
 
adoption
 
is
permitted for entities that have already adopted CECL.
 
The Company is in the process of reviewing this
 
ASU, as part of its
CECL implementation efforts,
 
to determine
 
whether it would
 
have a material
 
impact on
 
the Company’s consolidated financial
statements when adopted.

As of
 
September 30,
 
2022,
 
the unrealized
 
losses
 
associated
 
with
 
$
116.2
 
million
 
of investment
 
securities
 
transferred
from
 
the
 
AFS
 
portfolio
 
to
 
the
 
HTM
 
portfolio
 
represent
 
unrealized
 
losses
 
since
 
the
 
date
 
of
 
purchase,
 
independent
 
of
 
the
impact associated with changes in the cost basis of the
 
securities upon transfer between portfolios.
The Company performs a review
 
of the investments that have
 
an unrealized loss to determine
 
whether there have been
any changes in the
 
economic circumstance of the security
 
issuer to indicate that
 
the unrealized loss is
 
impaired on an other-
than-temporary
 
(“OTTI”) basis. Management
 
considers several factors in
 
their analysis including
 
(i) the severity
 
and duration
of the impairment,
 
(ii) the
 
credit rating
 
of the
 
security including
 
any downgrade,
 
(iii) the
 
intent to
 
sell the security,
 
or if
 
it is
more likely than
 
not that it
 
will be required
 
to sell the
 
security before recovery,
 
(iv) whether
 
there have been
 
any payment
defaults and (v) the underlying guarantor of the securities.
The Company does not consider these
 
investments to be OTTI as the
 
decline in market value is attributable
 
to changes
in market
 
interest rates
 
and not
 
credit quality,
 
and because
 
the Company
 
does not
 
intend to
 
sell the
 
investments before
recovery of
 
its amortized
 
cost basis,
 
which may
 
be at
 
maturity,
 
and it is
 
more likely than
 
not that the
 
Company will
 
not be
required to sell the securities before maturity.

At September 30,
 
2022 and
 
December 31, 2021,
 
the Company
 
had $
253.9
 
million and $
185.1
 
million respectively,
 
of
commercial
 
real estate and residential
 
mortgage loans pledged as
 
collateral for lines of
 
credit with the
 
FHLB and the
 
Federal
Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
The Company was a participant
 
in the Small Business
 
Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck
 
Protection Program (“PPP”)
loans. These
 
loans were
 
designed to
 
provide a
 
direct incentive
 
for small
 
businesses to
 
keep their
 
workers on
 
payroll and
the funds had to be used towards payroll cost, mortgage interest, rent, utilities and other costs related to COVID-19. These
loans are forgivable under specific criteria as determined by the SBA.
 
The Company had PPP loans totaling $
1.4
 
million at
September 30, 2022
 
and $
42.4
 
million at
 
December 31, 2021,
 
which are
 
categorized as
 
commercial and
 
industrial loans.
These PPP loans had deferred loan fees of $
19
 
thousand at September 30, 2022 and $
1.5
 
million at December 31, 2021.
The Company
 
recognized $
1.6
 
million and
 
$
3.5
 
million in
 
PPP loan
 
fees and
 
interest income
 
during the
 
nine months
ended September 30, 2022
 
and 2021, respectively,
 
which is reported
 
under loans, including
 
fees, within the
 
Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
The
 
Company
 
segments
 
the
 
portfolio
 
by
 
pools
 
grouping
 
loans
 
that
 
share
 
similar
 
risk
 
characteristics
 
and
 
employing
collateral type
 
and lien
 
position to
 
group loans
 
according to
 
risk. The
 
Company determines
 
historical
 
loss rates
 
for each
loan
 
pool
 
based
 
on
 
its
 
own
 
loss
 
experience.
 
In
 
estimating
 
credit
 
losses,
 
the
 
Company
 
also
 
considers
 
qualitative
 
and
environmental factors that may cause estimated credit losses
 
for the loan portfolio to differ from historical
 
losses.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company grades loans based on the estimated capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligation of the
loan agreement based
 
on relevant information
 
which may include:
 
current financial information
 
on the borrower,
 
historical
payment
 
experience,
 
credit
 
documentation
 
and
 
other
 
current
 
economic
 
trends.
 
Internal
 
credit
 
risk
 
grades
 
are
 
evaluated
periodically.
 
The Company's internally assigned credit risk grades are as follows:
Pass
– Loans indicate different levels of satisfactory
 
financial condition and performance.
 
Special Mention
 
– Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness
 
that deserves management’s
close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses
 
may result in deterioration of the repayment
prospects for the loan or of the institution’s
 
credit position at some future date.
 
Substandard
– Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected
 
by the current net worth and paying
capacity of the obligator 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 at 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.
 
Loss
– Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible.
Loan credit exposures by internally assigned grades are
 
presented below for the periods indicated (in thousands):

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to
meet the financial
 
needs of
 
its customers
 
and to reduce
 
its own
 
exposure to
 
fluctuations in
 
interest rates.
 
These financial
instruments include
 
unfunded commitments
 
under lines
 
of credit,
 
commitments to
 
extend credit,
 
standby and
 
commercial
letters of
 
credit. Those
 
instruments involve,
 
to varying
 
degrees, elements
 
of credit
 
and interest
 
rate risk
 
in excess
 
of the
amount recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company uses the
 
same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance
 
sheet instruments.
The Company's
 
exposure to credit
 
loss in the
 
event of nonperformance
 
by the other
 
party to the
 
financial instruments
for unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit
 
is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.

the
 
Company's

Total
$

$

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.
Unfunded lines of
 
credit and revolving
 
credit lines are
 
commitments for possible
 
future extensions
 
of credit to
 
existing
customers. These lines of
 
credit are uncollateralized and
 
usually do not contain
 
a specified maturity date
 
and ultimately may
not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company
 
committed.
Standby
 
and
 
commercial
 
letters
 
of
 
credit
 
are
 
conditional
 
commitments
 
issued
 
by
 
the
 
Company
 
to
 
guarantee
 
the
performance of a
 
customer to
 
a third
 
party. Those letters of
 
credit are
 
primarily issued to
 
support public and
 
private borrowing
arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit have fixed maturity dates and since
 
many of them expire without being drawn
upon, they do not generally present a significant liquidity
 
risk to the Company.
6.
 
DERIVATIVES
 
The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements
 
as part of its asset liability management strategy
 
to help manage
its interest rate risk exposure
 
.
 
The notional amount of
 
the interest rate swaps
 
do not represent actual
 
amounts exchanged
by the
 
parties.
 
The amounts
 
exchanged
 
are determined
 
by reference
 
to the
 
notional amount
 
and the
 
other
 
terms
 
of the
individual interest rate swap agreements.
 
The Company enters into interest rate swaps with its loan customers. The Company had
16
 
and
18
 
interest rate swaps
with
 
loan
 
customers
 
with
 
an
 
aggregate
 
notional
 
amount
 
of
 
$
34.6
 
million
 
and
 
$
39.2
 
million
 
at
 
September 30,
 
2022
 
and
December 31, 2021,
 
respectively.
 
These interest
 
rate swaps
 
mature between
 
2025 and
 
2051. The
 
Company entered
 
into
corresponding
 
and
 
offsetting
 
derivatives
 
with
 
third
 
parties.
 
The
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
liability
 
on
 
these
 
derivatives
 
requires
 
the
Company to provide the counterparty
 
with funds to be held as collateral
 
which the Company reports as other
 
assets under
the Consolidated
 
Balance Sheets.
 
While these
 
derivatives represent
 
economic hedges,
 
they do
 
not qualify
 
as hedges
 
for
accounting purposes.

FAIR VALUE
 
MEASUREMENTS
 
Determination of Fair Value
The Company
 
uses
 
fair value
 
measurements
 
to record
 
fair-value
 
adjustments
 
to certain
 
assets
 
and liabilities
 
and to
determine fair value
 
disclosures. In accordance
 
with the fair
 
value measurements
 
accounting guidance, the
 
fair value of
 
a
financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market
 
participants
 
at the
 
measurement
 
date.
 
Fair value
 
is best
 
determined based
 
upon quoted
 
market prices.
However, in
 
many instances, there
 
are no quoted
 
market prices for the
 
Company's various financial
 
instruments. In cases
where quoted
 
market prices
 
are not
 
available, fair
 
values are
 
based on
 
estimates using
 
present value
 
or other
 
valuation
techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates
of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in
 
an immediate settlement of the instrument.
The fair
 
value guidance provides
 
a consistent definition
 
of fair
 
value, which focuses
 
on exit
 
price in
 
an orderly transaction
(that is,
 
not a
 
forced
 
liquidation
 
or distressed
 
sale) between
 
market participants
 
at the
 
measurement
 
date
 
under current
market conditions.
 
If there
 
has been
 
a significant
 
decrease
 
in the
 
volume
 
and level
 
of activity
 
for the
 
asset
 
or liability,
 
a
change in
 
valuation technique or
 
the use
 
of multiple
 
valuation techniques may
 
be appropriate.
 
In such
 
instances, determining
the
 
price
 
at
 
which
 
willing
 
market
 
participants
 
would
 
transact
 
at
 
the
 
measurement
 
date
 
under
 
current
 
market
 
conditions
depends on the facts
 
and circumstances and
 
requires the use of
 
significant judgment. The fair
 
value is a reasonable
 
point
within the range that is most representative of fair value under
 
current market conditions.
Fair Value Hierarchy
In accordance with
 
this guidance, the
 
Company groups its
 
financial assets
 
and financial liabilities
 
generally measured
at fair
 
value in
 
three
 
levels, based
 
on the
 
markets
 
in which
 
the assets
 
and liabilities
 
are traded,
 
and the
 
reliability
 
of the
assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1
 
- Valuation
 
is based
 
on quoted
 
prices in
 
active markets
 
for identical
 
assets or
 
liabilities that
 
the reporting
entity has
 
the ability
 
to access
 
at the measurement
 
date. Level
 
1 assets
 
and liabilities
 
generally include
 
debt and
equity securities that
 
are traded in
 
an active exchange
 
market. Valuations are obtained from
 
readily available pricing
sources for market transactions involving identical assets
 
or liabilities.
Level 2
 
- Valuation
 
is based on inputs other
 
than quoted prices included
 
within Level 1 that are
 
observable for the
asset
 
or
 
liability,
 
either
 
directly
 
or
 
indirectly.
 
The
 
valuation
 
may
 
be
 
based
 
on
 
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 for substantially the full term of the
 
asset or liability.
Level 3
 
- Valuation
 
is based on
 
unobservable inputs that
 
are supported
 
by little or
 
no market activity
 
and that are
significant
 
to
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
assets
 
or
 
liabilities.
 
Level
 
3
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
include
 
financial
 
instruments
whose value
 
is determined
 
using pricing
 
models, discounted
 
cash
 
flow
 
methodologies,
 
or similar
 
techniques,
 
as
well as instruments for which determination of fair value
 
requires significant management judgment or estimation.
A
 
financial
 
instrument's
 
categorization
 
within
 
the
 
valuation
 
hierarchy
 
is
 
based
 
upon
 
the
 
lowest
 
level
 
of
 
input
 
that
 
is
significant to the fair value measurement.

Items Measured at Fair Value
 
on a Recurring Basis
AFS investment securities:
 
When instruments are traded in
 
secondary markets and quoted market
 
prices do not exist
for such securities,
 
management generally relies
 
on prices obtained
 
from independent vendors
 
or third-party broker-dealers.
Management reviews pricing methodologies provided by the vendors and third-party broker-dealers in order to determine if
observable market information is being utilized. Securities measured with pricing provided by independent vendors or
 
third-
party broker-dealers
 
are classified within
 
Level 2 of
 
the hierarchy and
 
often involve using
 
quoted market
 
prices for similar
securities, pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses
 
utilizing inputs observable in the market where available.

Impaired Loans:
At September 30, 2022
 
and December 31, 2021,
 
in accordance with
 
provisions of the
 
loan impairment
guidance, individual loans with
 
a carrying amount of approximately
 
$
4.0
 
million and $
4.4
 
million, respectively,
 
were written
down to
 
their
 
fair value
 
of
 
approximately
 
$
3.7
 
million
 
and $
4.0
 
million,
 
respectively,
 
resulting
 
in
 
an impairment
 
charge
 
of
$
309
 
thousand and
 
$
360
 
thousand, respectively,
 
which was
 
included in
 
the allowance
 
for credit
 
losses at
 
September 30,
2022
 
and
 
December 31,
 
2021,
 
respectively.
 
Loans
 
subject
 
to
 
write-downs,
 
or
 
impaired
 
loans,
 
are
 
estimated
 
using
 
the
present value
 
of expected
 
cash flows
 
or the
 
appraised value
 
of the
 
underlying collateral
 
discounted as
 
necessary due
 
to
management's estimates of changes in economic conditions
 
are considered a Level 3 valuation.
Other Real
 
Estate:
 
Other
 
real estate
 
owned
 
is valued
 
at the
 
lesser of
 
the third-party
 
appraisals less
 
management's
estimate of
 
the costs to
 
sell or the
 
carrying cost of
 
the other
 
real estate
 
owned. Appraisals generally
 
use the market
 
approach
valuation technique
 
and use
 
market observable
 
data to
 
formulate an
 
opinion of
 
the fair
 
value of
 
the properties.
 
However,
the appraiser
 
uses professional
 
judgment in
 
determining the
 
fair value
 
of the
 
property and
 
the Company
 
may also
 
adjust
the value for changes in
 
market conditions subsequent
 
to the valuation date
 
when current appraisals
 
are not available. As
a consequence of the carrying cost or the
 
third-party appraisal and adjustments therein, the fair values of the properties are
considered a Level 3 valuation.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
The rights
 
of the
 
holders of
 
Class A
 
common stock
 
and Class
 
B common
 
stock are
 
the same,
 
except for
 
voting and
conversion rights.
 
Holders of
 
Class A
 
common stock
 
are entitled
 
to voting
 
rights, while
 
holders of
 
Class B
 
common stock
have no
 
voting rights.
 
Shares of
 
Class
 
B common
 
stock
 
are convertible
 
into shares
 
of Class
 
A common
 
stock
 
if sold
 
or
transferred.
In June 2021, the Bank effected a 1 for 5
 
reverse stock split of all the Class A common
 
stock $
1.00
 
par value. Each five
shares of
 
the Bank’s Class
 
A common
 
stock was combined
 
into
one
 
fully paid
 
share of Class
 
A common
 
stock. Any fractional
shares
 
resulting from
 
this
 
reverse
 
stock
 
split were
 
rounded
 
up to
 
one whole
 
share.
 
The
 
Bank has
 
adjusted
 
the Class
 
A
common stock, earnings per share and stock
 
options for this 1 for 5 reverse stock
 
split for all periods in 2021. The Class
 
B
common stock was not adjusted but if sold or exchanged would be converted
 
at the 1 for 5 reverse stock split of
1
 
share of
Class
 
A
 
common
 
stock
 
for
 
5
 
shares
 
of
 
Class
 
B
 
common
 
stock.
 
Any
 
dividends
 
declared
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
of
 
Directors
 
(the
“Board”) to include
 
Class B common
 
stock would also
 
be paid as if
 
the Class B common
 
stock had converted.
 
The 1 for 5
reverse stock
 
split resulted
 
in adjustments
 
to Consolidated
 
Balance Sheets,
 
Consolidated Statements
 
of Operations,
 
and
Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’
 
Equity.

Q3 2022 Form 10-Q
In July 2021,
 
the Bank completed
 
the IPO of
 
its Class A
 
common stock, in
 
which it issued
 
and sold
4,600,000
 
shares
of
 
Class
 
A
 
common
 
stock
 
at
 
a
 
price
 
of
 
$
10.00
 
per
 
share.
 
The
 
Bank
 
received
 
total
 
net
 
proceeds
 
of
 
$
40.0
 
million
 
after
deducting underwriting discounts and expenses.
In December 2021,
 
the Bank entered
 
into agreements with
 
the Class B
 
shareholders to exchange
 
all outstanding shares
of Class
 
B common
 
stock for
 
shares of
 
Class A
 
common stock
 
at a
 
ratio of
 
one share
 
of Class
 
A common
 
stock for
 
ever
five shares of
 
Class B common
 
stock. As
 
a result, a
 
total of
6,121,052
 
shares of
 
Class B common
 
stock were
 
exchanged
for
1,224,212
 
shares of Class A common stock.
 
In December 2021, the
 
Company acquired all
 
the issued and outstanding
 
shares of the Class
 
A voting common
 
stock
of the Bank, which at
 
the time were the only issued
 
and outstanding shares of the Bank’s capital stock,
 
in a share exchange
(the “Reorganization”)
 
effected under
 
the Florida
 
Business Corporation
 
Act. Each
 
of the outstanding
 
shares of
 
the Bank’s
Class A common stock, par value $
1.00
 
per share, formerly held by its shareholders was converted into and exchanged for
one newly
 
issued share
 
of the
 
Company’s
 
Class A
 
common stock,
 
par value
 
$
1.00
 
per share,
 
and the
 
Bank became
 
the
Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.
 
In the
 
Reorganization,
 
each
 
shareholder
 
of the
 
Bank
 
received securities
 
of
 
the same
 
class,
 
having
 
substantially
 
the
same designations,
 
rights,
 
powers, preferences,
 
qualifications,
 
limitations
 
and restrictions,
 
as those
 
that the
 
shareholder
held
 
in
 
the
 
Bank,
 
and
 
the
 
Company’s
 
current
 
shareholders
 
own
 
the
 
same
 
percentages
 
of
 
its
 
common
 
stock
 
as
 
they
previously owned of the Bank’s common stock.
Preferred Stock
In April 2021,
 
the Board
 
authorized and
 
approved the
 
offer to
 
repurchase all
 
outstanding shares
 
of Class
 
E preferred
stock at
 
the liquidation
 
value of
 
$
7.5
 
million along
 
with declared
 
dividends of
 
$
103
 
thousand.
 
All Class
 
E preferred
 
stock
shareholders approved the repurchase which the Bank
 
completed in April 2021.
 
The
 
Bank
 
offered
 
the
 
Class
 
C
 
and
 
Class
 
D
 
preferred
 
stockholders
 
the
 
ability
 
to
 
exchange
 
their
 
shares
 
for
 
Class
 
A
common stock. The offer
 
to exchange was voluntary
 
and the preferred stockholders
 
were given the option to
 
convert
90
%
of
 
their
 
preferred
 
shares
 
for
 
Class
 
A
 
common
 
stock
 
with
 
the
 
remaining
10
%
 
to
 
be
 
redeemed
 
in
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
cash.
 
The
exchange ratio for the
 
shares of Class A
 
common stock issued in
 
the preferred stock exchange transaction
 
was based upon
the IPO price for shares of Class A common stock.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2021,
47,473
 
shares of Class C preferred stock
 
and
11,061,552
 
shares of Class
D preferred stock converted into an aggregate of
10,278,072
 
shares of Class A common stock. The exchange of the Class
C and Class D preferred shares had
 
a total liquidation value of $
102.8
 
million. The remaining unconverted shares of
 
Class
C preferred stock
 
and Class
 
D preferred stock
 
totaling
1,234,354
 
shares were subsequently
 
redeemed at their
 
liquidation
value for $
11.4
 
million.
 
The fair value of consideration
 
on the preferred stock
 
exchange and redemption of
 
the Class C and
 
Class D preferred
shares
 
exceeded
 
the
 
book
 
value
 
causing
 
a
 
one-time
 
reduction
 
in
 
net
 
income
 
available
 
to
 
common
 
stockholders
 
of
$
89.6
 
million.
 
As
 
of
 
September 30,
 
2022
 
and
 
December 31,
 
2021,
 
there
 
were
no
 
preferred
 
shares
 
outstanding
 
and
no
outstanding dividends to be paid.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings
 
per
 
share
 
(“EPS”)
 
for
 
common
 
stock
 
is
 
calculated
 
using
 
the
 
two-class
 
method
 
required
 
for
 
participating
securities. Basic EPS
 
is calculated by
 
dividing net income
 
(loss) available to
 
common stockholders by the
 
weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding for
 
the period, without consideration for common
 
stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is
computed by
 
dividing net
 
income (loss)
 
available to
 
common stockholders
 
by the
 
weighted-average
 
number
 
of common
shares outstanding for
 
the period and
 
the weighted-average number
 
of dilutive common
 
stock equivalents outstanding
 
for
the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For
 
purposes of this calculation, common stock equivalents include
common stock options and are only included in the calculation
 
of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive.
 
To
 
calculate
 
EPS
 
for
 
the
 
three
 
and
 
nine
 
months
 
ended
 
September 30,
 
2022,
 
net
 
income
 
available
 
to
 
common
stockholders was
 
not allocated between
 
Class A and
 
Class B common
 
stock since
 
there were
no
 
issued and outstanding
shares of Class B common stock as of September 30, 2022.
To
 
calculate
 
EPS
 
for
 
the
 
three
 
and
 
nine
 
months
 
ended
 
September 30,
 
2021,
 
net
 
income
 
available
 
to
 
common
stockholders was allocated as if all the income for
 
the period were distributed to common stockholders.
 
The allocation was
based on the
 
outstanding shares per
 
common share class to
 
the total
 
common shares outstanding during
 
each period giving
effect for the 1 for
 
5 reverse stock split.
 
The Company’s Articles
 
of Incorporation require that
 
the distribution of net
 
income
to Common B
 
stockholders be
 
adjusted to
 
give effect
 
for Class
 
A stock splits.
 
Therefore, the
 
income allocated
 
to Class
 
B
common shares was calculated based on their
20
% per share equivalent to Class A common shares.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Form 10-Q
 
includes financial information determined by
 
methods other than in
 
accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”). This financial information
 
includes certain operating performance measures.
 
Management
has included these non-GAAP measures because it believes these
 
measures may provide useful supplemental information
for evaluating the Company’s underlying performance trends. Further, management uses these measures in
 
managing and
evaluating
 
the
 
Company’s
 
business
 
and
 
intends
 
to
 
refer
 
to
 
them
 
in
 
discussions
 
about
 
our
 
operations
 
and
 
performance.
Operating performance measures
 
should be viewed in
 
addition to, and not
 
as an alternative to
 
or substitute for,
 
measures
determined in accordance with GAAP,
 
and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may
 
be presented
by other companies. To the extent applicable, reconciliations of these
 
non-GAAP measures to the most
 
directly comparable
GAAP
 
measures
 
can
 
be
 
found
 
in
 
the
 
section
 
“Reconciliation
 
and
 
Management
 
Explanation
 
of
 
Non-GAAP
 
Financial
Measures” included in this Form 10-Q.
Overview
The Company,
 
the holding company of
 
the Bank, reported
 
net income of
 
$5.6 million or
 
$0.28 per diluted
 
share for Class
A common stock for the three
 
months ended September 30,
 
2022, compared with
 
net income of $6.6
 
million or $5.11 loss
and $1.02
 
loss per
 
diluted
 
share for
 
Class A and
 
Class B
 
common stock,
 
respectively, for
 
the same
 
period in
 
2021. The
losses per share for the Class
 
A and Class
 
B common stock for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 reflected the effects
of the exchange and redemption
 
of the Bank’s preferred
 
shares. In December 2021,
 
the Company agreed to
 
exchange all
the outstanding
 
shares
 
of Class
 
B common
 
stock for
 
Class A common
 
stock at
 
a ratio
 
of one
 
share of
 
Class A common
stock for
 
each five shares
 
of Class B
 
common stock. As
 
of September 30,
 
2022 and
 
December 31, 2021,
 
the Company’s
only class of securities issued and outstanding was Class A common stock.
During the
 
first quarter
 
of 2022,
 
the Board
 
of Directors
 
(the “Board”)
 
approved a
 
share repurchase
 
program of
 
up to
750,000 shares of Class A common stock.
 
Under the repurchase program,
 
the Company may
 
purchase shares of Class A
common stock
 
on a
 
discretionary basis
 
from time
 
to time. As
 
of September 30,
 
2022, the
 
Company had
 
not repurchased
any shares.
In
 
evaluating
 
our
 
financial
 
performance,
 
we
 
consider
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
and
 
trends
 
in
 
net
 
interest
 
income,
 
the
 
net
 
interest
margin, the cost of deposits,
 
levels and composition of
 
non-interest income and non-interest
 
expense, performance ratios,
asset quality ratios, regulatory capital ratios, and any significant
 
event or transaction.
Unless
 
otherwise
 
stated,
 
all
 
period
 
comparisons
 
in
 
the
 
bullet
 
points
 
below
 
are
 
calculated
 
for
 
the
 
quarter
 
ended
September 30, 2022 compared to the quarter ended September
 
30, 2021 and annualized where appropriate:
 
Net
 
interest
 
income
 
increased
 
$3.3
 
million
 
or
 
24.5%
 
to
 
$16.8 million
 
from
 
$13.5
 
million
 
for
 
the
 
quarter
 
ended
September 30, 2021.
 
Net interest margin (“NIM”) increased to 3.47% from 3.19%
 
for the third quarter of 2021.
 
 
Total assets exceeded $2.0 billion, an increase of $183
 
.5 million or 9.9%, compared to December 31, 2021.
 
 
Total loans grew to $1.4 billion, an increase of $241.4 million
 
or 20.3%, compared to December 31, 2021.
 
 
Total deposits increased $206.3 million or 13.0% to $1.8
 
billion from $1.6 billion at December 31, 2021.
 
 
Annualized return on average assets was 1.09% compared
 
to 1.50% at September 30, 2021.
 
Annualized return on average stockholders’ equity was 11.90% compared to
 
13.41% at September 30, 2021.
 
The
 
allowance
 
for
 
credit
 
losses
 
to
 
total
 
loans
 
ratio
 
decreased
 
to
 
1.16%
 
at
 
September 30,
 
2022
 
from
 
1.27%
 
at
September 30, 2021.
 
Non-performing loans to total loans was 0.00% at September
 
30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

Q3 2022 Form 10-Q
 
At September 30, 2022, the
 
total risk-based capital ratio for
 
the Company and the
 
Bank was 13.65%
 
and 13.58%,
respectively.
 
Tangible book
 
value
 
per common
 
share (a
 
Non-GAAP
 
financial measure)
 
was $8.87
 
as of
 
September 30,
 
2022,
compared
 
to
 
$10.10
 
at
 
September 30,
 
2021.
 
The
 
decline
 
was
 
primarily
 
driven
 
by
 
unrealized
 
security
 
losses
 
in
accumulated
 
other
 
comprehensive
 
income
 
at
 
September 30,
 
2022.

this non-GAAP financial measure.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
are
 
prepared
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
application
 
of
 
U.S.
 
GAAP,
 
the
 
most
 
significant
 
of
which are described in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K. 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 statements.
 
In particular,
 
management
 
has identified
 
accounting
 
policies that,
 
due to
the estimates, assumptions and judgments inherent in those policies, are critical in understanding our financial statements.
Management has presented the application of these policies
 
to the Audit and Risk Committee of our Board.
 
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit
 
losses (“ACL”) is
 
a valuation allowance that
 
is established through charges
 
to earnings in the
form of
 
a provision for
 
credit losses. The
 
amount of the
 
ACL is
 
affected by the
 
following: (i) charge-offs
 
of loans that
 
decrease
the allowance;
 
(ii) subsequent
 
recoveries on
 
loans previously
 
charged off
 
that increase
 
the allowance;
 
and (iii)
 
provisions
for credit losses charged to
 
income that increase the allowance.
 
Management considers the policies
 
related to the ACL as
the most critical to
 
the financial statement
 
presentation. The total
 
ACL includes activity
 
related to allowances
 
calculated in
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310,
 
Receivables, and ASC 450, Contingencies.
Throughout the year,
 
management estimates the probable
 
incurred losses in the loan portfolio
 
to determine if the ACL
is adequate to absorb such losses. The ACL
 
consists of specific and general components.
 
The specific component relates
to loans that
 
are individually classified
 
as impaired. We
 
follow a loan
 
review program to
 
evaluate the credit
 
risk existing in
the loan
 
portfolio. Loans
 
that have
 
been identified
 
as impaired
 
are reviewed
 
on a
 
quarterly basis
 
to determine
 
whether a
specific reserve is required. The general component covers non-impaired loans
 
and is based on our specific historical loan
loss experience,
 
volume, growth and
 
composition of the
 
loan portfolio,
 
the evaluation
 
of our
 
loan portfolio
 
through our
 
internal
loan review
 
process, general
 
current economic
 
conditions both
 
internal and
 
external to
 
us that
 
may affect
 
the borrower’s
ability to pay, value of collateral and
 
other qualitative relevant risk factors. Based on a review of these estimates,
 
we adjust
the ACL to a level determined by management to be adequate.
 
Estimates of credit losses are inherently subjective as they
involve an exercise of judgment.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax
 
assets and
 
liabilities are
 
recognized for
 
the future
 
tax consequences
 
attributable to
 
differences
 
between
the financial statement carrying amounts of
 
existing assets and liabilities and their
 
respective tax bases and operating loss
and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax
 
assets and liabilities are measured
 
using enacted tax rates expected
 
to apply to
taxable income
 
in the
 
years in
 
which those
 
temporary differences
 
are expected
 
to be
 
recovered or
 
settled. The
 
effect
 
on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.
 
Management is required to assess whether a valuation allowance should be established on the net deferred tax assets
based on the
 
consideration of
 
all available evidence
 
using a more
 
likely than not
 
standard. In its
 
evaluation, management
considers taxable loss
 
carry-back availability, expectation of sufficient
 
taxable income, trends
 
in earnings, the
 
future reversal
of temporary differences, and available tax planning
 
strategies.
The Company recognizes positions taken
 
or expected to be
 
taken in a tax
 
return in accordance with existing accounting
guidance on
 
income taxes
 
which prescribes
 
a recognition threshold
 
and measurement
 
process. Interest
 
and penalties
 
on
tax liabilities, if any, would
 
be recorded in interest expense and other operating non-interest
 
expense, respectively.

The Company’s results
 
of operations
 
depend substantially on
 
net interest income
 
and non-interest income.
 
Other factors
contributing
 
to
 
the
 
results
 
of
 
operations
 
include
 
our
 
provision
 
for
 
credit
 
losses,
 
non-interest
 
expenses,
 
and
 
provision
 
for
income taxes.
Three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months
 
ended September 30, 2021
 
Net income decreased
 
to $5.6 million
 
for the three
 
months ended
 
September 30, 2022
 
from $6.6
 
million for the
 
same
period
 
in
 
2021.
 
Net
 
income
 
available
 
to
 
common
 
stockholders
 
increased
 
$89.0
 
million
 
for
 
the
 
three
 
months
 
ended
September 30, 2022 compared
 
to the
 
same period
 
in 2021
 
primarily because the
 
2021 period
 
reflected the
 
effect of
 
preferred
dividends paid and the $89.6 million exchange and redemption
 
of the Bank’s preferred shares.
Nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to nine months ended
 
September 30, 2021
 
Net income increased to $15.7
 
million for the nine months
 
ended September 30, 2022
 
from $15.4 million for the
 
same
period in
 
2021. Net income
 
available to
 
common stockholders increased
 
$91.9 million for
 
the September 30, 2022
 
compared
to the same
 
period in
 
2021 primarily
 
because of
 
an increase
 
in net interest
 
income in 2022
 
and the 2021
 
period reflected
the effect of preferred dividends paid and the $89.6 million
 
exchange and redemption of the Bank’s preferred shares.
Net Interest Income
Net
 
interest
 
income
 
is
 
the
 
difference
 
between
 
interest
 
earned
 
on
 
interest-earning
 
assets
 
and
 
interest
 
incurred
 
on
interest-bearing liabilities and
 
is the
 
primary driver of
 
core earnings. Interest
 
income is generated
 
from interest and
 
dividends
on
 
interest-earning
 
assets,
 
including
 
loans,
 
investment
 
securities
 
and
 
other
 
short-term
 
investments.
 
Interest

incurred
 
from
 
interest
 
paid
 
on
 
interest-bearing
 
liabilities,
 
including
 
interest-bearing
 
deposits,
 
FHLB
 
advances
 
and
 
other
borrowings.
To evaluate net
 
interest income, we
 
measure and monitor
 
(i) yields on
 
loans and other
 
interest-earning assets, (ii)
 
the
costs of deposits
 
and other funding
 
sources, (iii) net
 
interest spread, and
 
(iv) net interest margin.
 
Net interest spread is
 
equal
to the difference between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest
margin is
 
equal to
 
the annualized
 
net interest
 
income
 
divided by
 
average interest
 
-earning assets.
 
Because
 
non-interest-
bearing sources of funds, such as non-interest-bearing deposits
 
and stockholders’ equity, also fund
 
interest-earning assets,
net interest margin includes the indirect benefit of these
 
non-interest-bearing sources.
Changes in
 
the market
 
interest rates
 
and interest
 
rates we
 
earn on
 
interest-earning assets
 
or pay on
 
interest-bearing
liabilities, as well
 
as the volume
 
and types of
 
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
 
and non-interest-bearing liabilities,
are usually the
 
largest drivers
 
of periodic changes
 
in net interest
 
spread, net interest
 
margin and net
 
interest income.
 
Our
asset liability committee
 
(“ALCO”) has
 
in place asset-liability
 
management techniques
 
to manage major
 
factors that
 
affect
net interest income and net interest margin.

Three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months
 
ended September 30, 2021
 
Net interest income before the provision
 
for credit losses was $16.8 million
 
for the three months ended
 
September 30,
2022, an
 
increase
 
of
 
$3.3 million
 
or
 
24.5%,
 
from
 
$13.5 million
 
for
 
the same
 
period in
 
2021. This
 
increase
 
was
 
primarily
attributable to higher income from larger loan and investment portfolios
 
combined with an increase in the weighted average
loan yield.
 
Included with loan interest income are PPP interest and loan fees totaling $145
 
thousand and $1.1 million for the three
months ended
 
September 30,
 
2022 and
 
2021, respectively
 
.
 
PPP loan
 
fees are
 
recognized upon
 
loan forgiveness
 
by the
SBA.
 
Net interest margin
 
increased to 3.47%
 
for the quarter
 
ended September 30,
 
2022 from 3.19%
 
for the same
 
period in
2021. This increase was primarily due to the yields
 
for loans and other interest-earning assets increasing.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 compared to nine months ended
 
September 30, 2021
Net interest income before the provision for credit losses
 
was $46.8 million for the nine months
 
ended September 30, 2022,
an increase of $8.4 million
 
or 21.8%, from $38.4 million
 
for the same period in
 
2021. This increase was
 
primarily attributable
to higher income from larger loan and investment portfolio
 
s.
Included with loan interest income are
 
PPP interest and loan fees totaling $1.6
 
million and $3.5 million for the
 
nine months
ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. PPP loan fees are recognized
 
upon loan forgiveness by the SBA.

Q3 2022 Form 10-Q
Net interest
 
margin increased to
 
3.36% at September 30,
 
2022 from 3.22%
 
for the
 
same period in
 
2021. The
 
yield on interest
earnings assets increased 12 bps, with a decrease of
 
2 bps in interest-bearing liability rates.
 
Provision for Credit Losses
The ACL
 
represents probable incurred losses in our portfolio. We maintain an adequate ACL
 
that can mitigate probable
losses inherent
 
in the
 
loan portfolio.
 
The ACL is increased
 
by the
 
provision for
 
credit losses
 
and is
 
decreased by
 
charge-
offs,
 
net
 
of
 
recoveries
 
on
 
prior
 
loan
 
charge-offs.
 
There
 
are
 
multiple
 
credit
 
quality
 
metrics
 
that
 
we
 
use
 
to
 
base
 
our
determination of
 
the amount
 
of the
 
ACL and
 
corresponding
 
provision for
 
credit losses.
 
These credit
 
metrics evaluate
 
the
credit
 
quality
 
and
 
level
 
of
 
credit
 
risk
 
inherent
 
in
 
our
 
loan
 
portfolio,
 
assess
 
non-performing
 
loans
 
and
 
charge-offs
 
levels,
considers statistical and historical trends and economic conditions
 
and other applicable factors.
 
Three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months
 
ended September 30, 2021
 
The
 
provision
 
for
 
credit
 
loss
 
was
 
$910
 
thousand
 
for
 
the
 
three
 
months
 
ended
 
September 30,
 
2022
 
compared
 
to
 
no
provision
 
recorded
 
for
 
the
 
same
 
period
 
in
 
2021.
 
The
 
primary
 
driver
 
of
 
the
 
provision
 
expense
 
in
 
the
 
2022
 
period
 
was
attributable to loan growth.
 
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 compared to nine months ended
 
September 30, 2021
 
The provision for
 
credit loss was
 
$1.6 million for
 
the nine months
 
ended September 30, 2022
 
compared to a
 
net recovery
of $160 thousand for the same period in 2021. The primary driver of the provision expense was attribut
 
able to loan growth.
The ACL as a percentage of total loans decreased
 
to 1.16% at September 30,
 
2022 compared to 1.27%
 
at September 30,
2021 due to the growth of the loan portfolio.
See “Allowance for Credit Losses” below for further discussion
 
on how the ACL is calculated.
 
Non-Interest Income
Our services and products generate service charges and fees, mainly from our depository
 
accounts. We also generate
income from gain on sale of loans though our swap and SBA
 
programs. In addition, we own and are beneficiaries of the life
insurance policies
 
on some
 
of our
 
employees and
 
generate income
 
on the
 
increase in
 
the cash
 
surrender value
 
of these
policies.

2022 decreased
 
$2.4 million

of the Bank.
 
The loan
 
was originated

Provision for Income Tax
Fluctuations in the effective tax rate reflect the effect of the differences in the inclusion or deductibility of certain income
and expenses for
 
income tax purposes.
 
Therefore, future
 
decisions on the
 
investments we choose
 
will affect our
 
effective
tax rate.
 
The cash
 
surrender value
 
of bank-owned
 
life insurance
 
policies covering
 
key employees,
 
purchasing municipal
bonds, and overall levels of taxable income will be important
 
elements in determining our effective tax rate.

Investment Securities
The investment portfolio
 
is used and
 
managed to provide
 
liquidity through cash
 
flows, marketability
 
and, if necessary,
collateral for
 
borrowings. The
 
investment portfolio
 
is also
 
used as
 
a tool
 
to manage
 
interest rate
 
risk and
 
the Company’s

capital
 
market
 
risk
 
exposure.
 
The
 
philosophy
 
of
 
the
 
portfolio
 
is
 
to
 
maximize
 
the
 
Company’s
 
profitability
 
taking
 
into
consideration the Company’s
 
risk appetite and
 
tolerance, manage
 
the asset composition
 
and diversification,
 
and maintain
adequate risk-based capital ratios.
The
 
investment
 
portfolio
 
is
 
managed
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
Asset
 
and
 
Liability
 
Management
 
(“ALM”)
 
policy,
 
which
includes
 
investment
 
guidelines,
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
Board.
 
Such
 
policy
 
is
 
reviewed
 
at
 
least
 
annually
 
or
 
more
 
frequently
 
if
deemed necessary,
 
depending on
 
market
 
conditions
 
and/or
 
unexpected
 
events.
 
The investment
 
portfolio
 
composition
 
is
subject to change
 
depending on the
 
funding and liquidity
 
needs of
 
the Company, and the interest
 
risk management objective
directed
 
by
 
the
 
ALCO.
 
The
 
portfolio
 
of
 
investments
 
also
 
can
 
be
 
used
 
to
 
modify
 
the
 
duration
 
of
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet.
 
The
allocation of cash into securities takes into consideration anticipated
 
future cash flows (uses and sources) and all available
sources of credit.
Our investment portfolio consists
 
primarily of securities issued
 
by U.S. government-sponsored agencies,
 
U.S.
 
agency
mortgage-backed securities,
 
collateralized mortgage
 
obligation securities,
 
municipal securities,
 
and other
 
debt securities,
all with varying contractual maturities and coupons. Due to the optionality embedded in these securities, the final maturities
do not
 
necessarily represent the
 
expected life of
 
the portfolio. Some
 
of these
 
securities will be
 
called or paid
 
down depending
on capital market conditions and expectations. The investment portfolio is regularly reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer,
Treasurer,
 
and the ALCO
 
of the Company
 
to ensure an
 
appropriate risk and
 
return profile as
 
well as for
 
adherence to the
investment policy.
During the
 
quarter ended
 
September 30, 2022
 
and year
 
ended December 31,
 
2021, the
 
Company transferred,
 
at fair
value, $63.8 million and $68.7 million, respectively, of securities from available-for-sale (“AFS”) to held-to-maturity (“HTM”).
The
 
related
 
net
 
unrealized
 
losses
 
of
 
$10.6
 
million
 
and
 
net
 
unrealized
 
gains
 
of
 
$1.1 million,
 
respectively,
 
remained
 
in
accumulated
 
other
 
comprehensive
 
income
 
(“AOCI”)
 
and
 
are
 
being
 
amortized
 
over
 
the
 
remaining
 
life
 
of
 
the
 
transferred
securities. No gains or losses were recognized to income at
 
transfer date.
The book value of the AFS securities is adjusted monthly
 
for unrealized gain or loss as a valuation allowance,
 
and any
gain
 
or
 
loss
 
is
 
reported
 
on
 
an
 
after-tax
 
basis
 
as
 
a
 
component
 
of
 
other
 
comprehensive
 
income
 
in
 
stockholders’
 
equity.
Periodically,
 
we
 
may
 
need
 
to
 
assess
 
whether
 
there
 
have
 
been
 
any
 
events
 
or
 
unexpected
 
economic
 
circumstances
 
to
indicate that
 
a security
 
on which
 
there is
 
an unrealized
 
loss is
 
impaired on
 
an other-than-temporary
 
basis (“OTTI”).
 
If the
impairment
 
is
 
deemed
 
to
 
be
 
permanent,
 
an
 
analysis
 
is
 
then
 
made
 
considering
 
many
 
factors,
 
including
 
the
 
severity
 
and
duration of the impairment, the severity
 
of the event, our intent and
 
ability to hold the security for a
 
period of time sufficient
for a
 
recovery in
 
value, recent
 
events specific
 
to the
 
issuer or
 
industry,
 
any related
 
credit events,
 
and for
 
debt securities,
external
 
credit
 
ratings
 
and
 
recent
 
downgrades
 
related
 
to
 
deterioration
 
of
 
credit
 
quality.
 
Securities
 
on
 
which
 
there
 
is
 
an
unrealized loss
 
that is
 
deemed to
 
be OTTI
 
are written
 
down to
 
fair value,
 
with the
 
write-down recorded
 
as a
 
realized loss
under line item
 
“Gain (loss) on
 
sale of securities
 
available-for-sale,
 
net” of the Consolidated
 
Statements of Operations.
 
As
of September 30,
 
2022, there
 
are no
 
securities
 
which management
 
has classified
 
as OTTI.
 
For further
 
discussion
 
of our
analysis
 
on
 
impaired
 
investment
 
securities
 
for
 
OTTI,

Loans
Loans are the
 
largest category of
 
interest-earning assets
 
on the unaudited
 
Consolidated Balance
 
Sheets, and usually
provide
 
higher
 
yields
 
than
 
the
 
remainder
 
of
 
the
 
interest-earning
 
assets.
 
Higher
 
yields
 
typically
 
carry
 
inherent
 
credit
 
and
liquidity risks in comparison to lower
 
yield assets. The Company manages
 
and mitigates such risks in accordance
 
with the
credit and ALM policies, risk tolerance and balance sheet composition.

The
commercial real estate
 
and to
 
a lesser
 
extent, foreign banks
 
and consumer and
 
other loan
 
segments had the
 
most significant
growth partially offset
 
by declines in
 
the commercial and
 
industrial and residential
 
real estate loan
 
segments. Commercial
and industrial loans declined primarily because of continuing
 
PPP loan forgiveness.
Our
 
loan
 
portfolio
 
continues
 
to
 
grow,
 
with
 
commercial
 
real
 
estate
 
lending
 
as
 
the
 
primary
 
focus
 
which
 
represented
approximately 64.9% of the total
 
gross loan portfolio as of
 
September 30, 2022. We do
 
not expect any significant changes
over the foreseeable
 
future in
 
the composition
 
of our
 
loan portfolio
 
or in
 
our emphasis
 
on commercial
 
real estate
 
lending.
Our loan growth strategy since inception has been reflective of the market
 
in which we operate and of our strategic plan as
approved by the Board.
Most of the
 
commercial real estate
 
exposure represents
 
loans to commercial
 
businesses secured
 
by owner-occupied
real estate.
 
The growth
 
experienced in
 
recent years
 
is primarily
 
due to
 
implementation of
 
our relationship-based
 
banking
model and
 
the success
 
of our
 
relationship managers
 
in competing
 
for new
 
business
 
in a
 
highly competitive
 
metropolitan
area. Many
 
of our
 
larger loan
 
clients have
 
long-term relationships
 
with members
 
of our
 
senior management
 
team or
 
our
relationship managers that date back to former institutions.
 
From a
 
liquidity perspective,
 
our loan
 
portfolio provides
 
us with
 
additional
 
liquidity due
 
to repayments
 
or unexpected
prepayments.

The information
 
presented
 
in the
 
table above
 
is based
 
upon the
 
contractual
 
maturities of
 
the individual
 
loans, which
may be
 
subject to
 
renewal at
 
their contractual
 
maturity.
 
Renewals will
 
depend on
 
approval by
 
our credit
 
department and
balance sheet
 
composition at the
 
time of
 
the analysis,
 
as well
 
as any
 
modification of terms
 
at the

maturity
 
concentrations,
 
loan
 
duration,
 
prepayment
 
speeds
 
and
 
other
 
interest

sensitivity
 
measures
 
are
 
discussed,
reviewed, and analyzed by the ALCO. Decisions on term
 
rate modifications are discussed as well.
 
As of
 
September 30, 2022,
 
approximately 60.8%
 
of the
 
loans have
 
adjustable/variable
 
rates and
 
39.2% of
 
the loans
have fixed rates. The adjustable/variable rate loans re-price to different benchmarks
 
and tenors in different periods of time.

it is important to
note that
 
most of
 
our loans have
 
interest rate floors.
 
This embedded option
 
protects the Company
 
from a decrease
 
in interest
rates and positions us to gain in the scenario of higher interest
 
rates.
Asset Quality
 
Our asset quality grading
 
analysis estimates the capability of
 
the borrower to repay
 
the contractual obligation of
 
the loan
agreement as scheduled or at all. The Company’s internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly
graded loans. Internal credit
 
risk grades are reviewed
 
at least once a
 
year, and
 
more frequently as
 
needed. Internal credit
risk ratings
 
may change
 
based on
 
management’s
 
assessment of
 
the results
 
from the
 
annual review,
 
portfolio monitoring,
and other developments observed with borrowers.
 
The internal credit risk grades used by the Company to
 
assess the credit worthiness of a loan are shown below:
Pass
– Loans indicate different levels of satisfactory
 
financial condition and performance.
 
Special Mention
 
– Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness
 
that deserves management’s
close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses
 
may result in deterioration of the repayment
prospects for the loan or of the institution’s
 
credit position at some future date.
 
Substandard
– Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected
 
by the current net worth and paying
capacity of the obligator 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 at 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.
 
Loss
– Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible.
Loan credit exposures by internally assigned grades are

Non-performing
 
assets include
 
all loans
 
categorized as
 
non-accrual or
 
restructured,
 
impaired securities,
 
non-accrual
troubled debt restructuring
 
(“TDRs”), other real
 
estate owned (“OREO”)
 
and other repossessed
 
assets. Problem
 
loans for
which the collection
 
or liquidation
 
in full
 
is reasonably
 
uncertain are
 
placed on
 
a non-accrual
 
status. This
 
determination is
based on current existing facts concerning collateral values and the paying capacity of
 
the borrower. When the collection of
the full contractual
 
balance is unlikely,
 
the loan is
 
placed on non-accrual
 
to avoid overstating
 
the Company’s
 
income for a
loan with increased credit risk.
 
If the
 
principal or
 
interest on
 
a commercial
 
loan becomes
 
due and
 
unpaid for
 
90 days
 
or more,
 
the loan
 
is placed
 
on
non-accrual status as of
 
the date it becomes
 
90 days past due
 
and remains in non-accrual
 
status until it meets
 
the criteria
for restoration to accrual status.
 
Residential loans, on
 
the other hand, are placed
 
on non-accrual status when
 
the principal
or interest
 
becomes due
 
and unpaid
 
for 120
 
days or
 
more and
 
remains in
 
non-accrual status
 
until it
 
meets the
 
criteria for
restoration
 
to
 
accrual
 
status.
 
Restoring
 
a
 
loan
 
to
 
accrual
 
status
 
is
 
possible
 
when
 
the
 
borrower
 
resumes
 
payment
 
of
 
all
principal and interest
 
payments for a period
 
of six months
 
and the Company
 
has a documented
 
expectation of repayment
of the remaining contractual principal and interest or the
 
loan becomes secured and in the process of collection.
A TDR is
 
a debtor
 
that is experiencing
 
financial difficulties
 
and to whom
 
the Company grants
 
a loan concession.
 
This
determination is performed during the annual review process
 
or whenever problems surface regarding the client’s ability
 
to
repay in
 
accordance with
 
the original
 
terms of
 
the loan
 
or line
 
of credit.
 
In general,
 
a borrower
 
that can
 
obtain funds
 
from
sources other than the Company at market interest rates at or near those for non-troubled debt is not involved in a troubled
debt restructuring.
 
The concessions
 
are given
 
to the
 
debtor in
 
various
 
forms,
 
including interest
 
rate reductions,
 
principal
forgiveness,
 
extension
 
of
 
maturity
 
date,
 
waiver,
 
or
 
deferral
 
of
 
payments
 
and
 
other
 
concessions
 
intended
 
to
 
minimize
potential losses.

The Company allocated $309 thousand and $360
 
thousand of specific allowance for TDR loans
 
at September 30, 2022
and December 31, 2021, respectively. There was no commitment to lend additional funds to these TDR
 
customers at either
date.
 
During
 
the
 
quarter
 
ended
 
September 30,
 
2022
 
and
 
2021,
 
there
 
were
 
no
 
defaults
 
on
 
TDR
 
loans
 
within
 
the
 
prior

the Company did
 
not have any

Allowance for Credit Losses
In
 
determining
 
the
 
balance
 
of
 
the
 
allowance
 
account,
 
loans
 
are
 
pooled
 
by
 
product
 
segments
 
with
 
similar
 
risk
characteristics and management
 
evaluates the ACL on
 
each segment and on
 
a regular basis to maintain
 
the allowance at
an
 
adequate
 
level
 
based
 
on
 
factors
 
which,
 
in
 
management’s
 
judgment,
 
deserve
 
current
 
recognition
 
in
 
estimating
 
credit
losses.
 
Such
 
factors
 
include
 
changes
 
in
 
prevailing
 
economic
 
conditions,
 
historical
 
loss
 
experience,
 
delinquency
 
trends,
changes in the composition and size of the loan portfolio
 
and the overall credit worthiness of the borrowers.
Additionally,
 
qualitative adjustments
 
are made to
 
the ACL when,
 
based on management’s
 
judgment, there are
 
factors
impacting the allowance estimate not considered by the
 
quantitative calculations.

Other Liabilities
The Company collects from commercial loan customers
 
funds which are held in escrow for future payment of
 
real
estate taxes and insurance. These escrow funds are disbursed
 
by the Company directly to the insurance companies
 
and
taxing authority of the borrower.
 
Escrow funds are recorded as other liabilities.
 
As of September 30, 2022 escrow balances totaled $15.3 million
 
compared to $4.0 million at December 31, 2021.
Borrowings
As a member
 
of the FHLB,
 
we are eligible
 
to obtain
 
advances with
 
various terms
 
and conditions.
 
This accessibility
 
of
additional funding allows us to efficiently and timely meet both expected
 
and unexpected outgoing cash flows and collateral
needs without adversely affecting either daily operations
 
or the financial condition of the Company.
As of
 
September 30,
 
2022, we
 
had $26.0
 
million
 
of fixed-rate
 
advances
 
outstanding
 
from the
 
FHLB with
 
a weighted
average rate of 1.39%.
 
Maturity dates for the
 
advances are between
 
third quarter 2023

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We engage
 
in various financial
 
transactions in
 
our operations
 
that, under GAAP,
 
may not be
 
included on
 
the balance
sheet. To
 
meet the financing needs
 
of our customers we may
 
include commitments to extend
 
credit and standby
 
letters of
credit. To
 
a varying
 
degree, such
 
commitments involve
 
elements of
 
credit, market,
 
and interest
 
rate risk
 
in excess
 
of the
amount recognized
 
in the
 
balance sheet.
 
We use
 
more conservative
 
credit and
 
collateral policies
 
in making
 
these credit
commitments than
 
we do
 
for on-balance
 
sheet items.
 
We are
 
not aware
 
of any accounting
 
loss to
 
be incurred
 
by funding
these commitments;
 
however,
 
we
 
maintain
 
an
 
allowance
 
for
 
off-balance
 
sheet

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds to a client, as long as there is no violation of any condition
established
 
in
 
the
 
contract,
 
for
 
a
 
specific
 
purpose.
 
Commitments
 
generally
 
have
 
variable
 
interest
 
rates,
 
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
 
fully drawn, the
 
total commitment
 
amounts disclosed
 
above do not
 
necessarily represent
 
future cash
requirements.
Unfunded lines of credit represent unused portions of credit facilities to our current borrowers that represent no change
in credit risk in our portfolio. Lines
 
of credit generally have variable interest
 
rates. The maximum potential amount
 
of future
payments we could
 
be required to
 
make is represented
 
by the contractual
 
amount of the
 
commitment, less
 
the amount of
any advances made.
Letters of credit are
 
conditional commitments issued
 
by us to guarantee
 
the performance of a
 
client to a third
 
party.
 
In
the event of nonperformance by
 
the client in accordance with the
 
terms of the agreement with the
 
third party,
 
we would be
required to fund
 
the commitment.
 
If the commitment
 
is funded, we
 
would be entitled
 
to seek recovery
 
from the client
 
from
the underlying collateral,
 
which can include
 
commercial real estate,
 
physical plant and
 
property, inventory, receivables, cash
or marketable securities.
Asset and Liability Management Committee
Members
 
of
 
senior
 
management
 
and
 
our
 
Board
 
make
 
up
 
the
 
asset
 
and
 
liability
 
management
 
committee,
 
or
 
ALCO.
Senior management is responsible for ensuring that Board
 
approved strategies, policies, and procedures for managing and
mitigating risks are appropriately executed within the designated
 
lines of authority and responsibility in a timely
 
manner.
ALCO
 
oversees
 
the
 
establishment,
 
approval,
 
implementation,
 
and
 
review
 
of
 
interest
 
rate
 
risk,
 
management,
 
and
mitigation strategies, ALM related policies, ALCO procedures
 
and risk tolerances and appetite.
While some degree
 
of IRR (“Interest
 
Rate Risk”) is
 
inherent to the banking
 
business, we
 
believe our ALCO
 
has put in
place sound risk management practices to identify,
 
quantify, monitor,
 
and limit IRR exposures.

Q3 2022 Form 10-Q
When assessing
 
the scope
 
of IRR
 
exposure
 
and
 
impact on
 
the consolidated
 
balance
 
sheet, cash
 
flows and
 
income
statement,
 
management
 
considers
 
both
 
earnings
 
and
 
economic
 
impacts.
 
Asset
 
price
 
variations,
 
deposit
 
volatility
 
and
reduced earnings or outright losses could adversely affect
 
the Company’s liquidity,
 
performance, and capital adequacy.
Income simulations
 
are used
 
to assess
 
the impact
 
of changing
 
rates on
 
earnings under
 
different rates
 
scenarios and
time horizons.
 
These simulations
 
utilize both
 
instantaneous and
 
parallel changes
 
in the
 
level of
 
interest rates,
 
as well
 
as
non-parallel changes such as changing slopes (flat and steeping) and
 
twists of the yield curve.
 
Static simulation models are
based on current exposures and
 
assume a constant balance sheet with
 
no new growth. Dynamic simulation analysis
 
is also
utilized to have a
 
more comprehensive assessment
 
on IRR. This simulation
 
relies on detailed
 
assumptions outlined in
 
our
budget and strategic plan, and in assumptions regarding changes in
 
existing lines of business, new business, management
strategies and client expected behavior.
To
 
have
 
a
 
more
 
complete
 
picture
 
of
 
IRR,
 
the
 
Company
 
also
 
evaluates
 
the
 
economic
 
value
 
of
 
equity
 
(“EVE”).
 
This
assessment
 
allows
 
us
 
to
 
measure
 
the
 
degree
 
to
 
which
 
the
 
economic
 
values
 
will
 
change
 
under
 
different
 
interest
 
rate
scenarios (parallel and non-parallel). The economic value approach focuses on a longer-term time horizon and captures all
future cash flows expected
 
from existing assets and
 
liabilities. The economic value
 
model utilizes a static
 
approach in that
the analysis
 
does not
 
incorporate new
 
business; rather,
 
the analysis
 
shows a
 
snapshot in
 
time of
 
the risk
 
inherent in
 
the
balance sheet.
Market and Interest Rate Risk Management
According to our last
 
ALCO model run as
 
of September 30, 2022,
 
we are net interest
 
income neutral for year
 
one and
asset-sensitive
 
for
 
year
 
two. This
 
indicates
 
that for
 
year
 
one,
 
our net
 
interest
 
income
 
fluctuations
 
will be
 
minimal due
 
to
changes
 
in interest
 
rates
 
and
 
for year
 
two,
 
that
 
our assets
 
generally reprice
 
faster
 
than our
 
liabilities,
 
which
 
results
 
in
 
a
favorable impact to
 
net interest income
 
when market
 
interest rates increase.
 
Many assumptions are
 
used to
 
calculate the
impact of interest rate variations
 
on our net interest income, such
 
as asset prepayment speeds,
 
non-maturity deposit price
sensitivity, pricing correlations,
 
deposit truncations and decay rates, and key rate drivers.
Because of the inherent use
 
of these estimates and
 
assumptions in the model,
 
our actual results may,
 
and most likely
will, differ from static measures results.
 
In addition, static measures like EVE
 
do not include actions that management
 
may
undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates or client deposit behavior. As part of our
ALM strategy
 
and
 
policy,
 
management
 
has the
 
ability
 
to modify
 
the
 
balance sheet
 
to
 
either increase
 
asset
 
duration
 
and
decrease liability
 
duration to reduce
 
asset sensitivity,
 
or to decrease
 
asset duration and
 
increase liability duration
 
in order
to increase asset sensitivity.
According to
 
our model,
 
as of
 
September 30, 2022,
 
NIM will
 
remain mostly
 
flat for
 
year one
 
and should
 
increase for
year
 
two
 
under
 
static
 
rate
 
scenarios
 
(-400
 
basis
 
points
 
or
 
+400
 
basis
 
points).
 
For
 
the
 
static
 
forecast
 
in
 
year
 
one,
 
the
estimated NIM
 
will remain
 
stable from
 
the base
 
case scenario
 
to
 
a +400
 
basis points
 
scenario. Additionally,
 
utilizing an
EVE
 
approach,
 
we
 
analyze
 
the
 
risk
 
to
 
capital
 
from
 
the
 
effects
 
of
 
various
 
interest
 
rate
 
scenarios
 
through
 
a
 
long-term
discounted cash
 
flow model.
 
This measures
 
the difference
 
between the
 
economic
 
value of
 
our assets
 
and the
 
economic
value
 
of
 
our
 
liabilities,
 
which
 
is
 
a
 
proxy
 
for
 
our
 
liquidation
 
value.
 
According
 
to
 
our
 
balance
 
sheet
 
composition,
 
and
 
as
expected, our model stipulates
 
that an increase of
 
rates will have a
 
negative impact on
 
the EVE. Results and
 
analysis are
presented quarterly to the Board, and strategies are defined.
Liquidity
Liquidity is defined
 
as a Company’s
 
capacity to meet
 
its cash and
 
collateral obligations at
 
a reasonable cost.
 
Maintaining
an adequate level of liquidity depends on the Company’s ability to
 
efficiently meet both expected and unexpected cash flow
and collateral needs without adversely affecting
 
either daily operations or the financial condition of the
 
Company.
Liquidity risk
 
is the
 
risk that
 
we will
 
be unable
 
to meet
 
our short-term
 
and long-term
 
obligations as
 
they become
 
due
because of an inability
 
to liquidate assets or
 
obtain relatively adequate funding. The
 
Company’s obligations, and the funding
sources
 
used
 
to
 
meet
 
them,
 
depend
 
significantly
 
on
 
our
 
business
 
mix,
 
balance
 
sheet
 
structure
 
and
 
composition,
 
credit
quality of our assets and the cash flow profiles of our on-
 
and off-balance sheet obligations.
In managing
 
inflows and
 
outflows,
 
management
 
regularly
 
monitors situations
 
that can
 
give rise
 
to increased
 
liquidity
risk. These
 
include funding
 
mismatches, market
 
constraints on
 
the ability
 
to convert
 
assets (particularly
 
investments) into
cash or in accessing sources of funds (i.e., market liquidity),
 
and contingent liquidity events.

USCB Financial Holdings, Inc.
 
Q3 2022 Form 10-Q
Changes in macroeconomic conditions, as well as exposure
 
to credit, market, operational, legal and reputational
 
risks,
such as
 
cybersecurity risk,
 
could have
 
an unexpected
 
impact on
 
the Company’s
 
liquidity risk
 
profile and
 
are factored
 
into
the assessment of liquidity and the ALM framework.
Management has established
 
a comprehensive and
 
holistic management process for
 
identifying, measuring, monitoring
and
 
mitigating
 
liquidity
 
risk.
 
Due
 
to
 
its
 
critical
 
importance
 
to
 
the
 
viability
 
of
 
the
 
Company,
 
liquidity
 
risk
 
management
 
is
integrated into our risk management processes,
 
Contingency Funding Plan and ALM policy.
Critical elements of our liquidity
 
risk management include: effective corporate governance consisting of
 
oversight by the
Board and active
 
involvement of senior
 
management; appropriate strategies, policies,
 
procedures, and limits
 
used to identify
and mitigate liquidity risk; comprehensive liquidity risk measurement and
 
monitoring systems (including assessments of the
current and prospective cash flows or sources and uses of funds) that are commensurate with the complexity and
 
business
activities of
 
the Company;
 
active management
 
of intraday
 
liquidity and
 
collateral; an
 
appropriately diverse
 
mix of
 
existing
and
 
potential
 
future
 
funding
 
sources;
 
adequate
 
levels
 
of
 
highly
 
liquid
 
marketable
 
securities
 
free
 
of
 
legal,
 
regulatory,
 
or
operational
 
impediments,
 
that
 
can
 
be
 
used
 
to
 
meet
 
liquidity
 
needs
 
in
 
stressful
 
situations;
 
comprehensive
 
contingency
funding plans
 
that sufficiently address
 
potential adverse liquidity
 
events and emergency
 
cash flow
 
requirements; and internal
controls
 
and
 
internal
 
audit
 
processes
 
sufficient
 
to
 
determine
 
the
 
adequacy
 
of
 
the
 
institution’s
 
liquidity
 
risk
 
management
process.
We
 
expect
 
funds
 
to
 
be
 
available
 
from
 
several
 
basic
 
banking
 
activity
 
sources,
 
including
 
the
 
core
 
deposit
 
base,
 
the
repayment and maturity of loans and investment security
 
cash flows. Other potential funding sources include
 
federal funds
purchased, brokered certificates
 
of deposit, listing
 
certificates of deposit,
 
and borrowings
 
from the FHLB.
 
Accordingly,
 
our
liquidity
 
resources
 
were
 
adequate
 
to
 
fund
 
loans
 
and
 
meet
 
other
 
cash
 
needs
 
as
 
necessary.
 
We
 
do
 
not
 
expect
 
liquidity
resources to be compromised at this time.

Impact of Inflation
Our
 
Consolidated
 
Financial
 
Statements
 
and
 
related
 
notes
 
have
 
been
 
prepared
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
U.S.
 
GAAP,
which require the measurement of financial
 
position and operating results in terms
 
of historical dollars, without considering
the changes in the
 
relative purchasing power
 
of money over time
 
due to inflation. The
 
impact of inflation is
 
reflected in the
increased cost of operations.
 
Unlike most industrial companies,
 
nearly all our assets and
 
liabilities are monetary in
 
nature.
As a result,
 
interest rates have a
 
greater impact on our
 
performance than do the
 
effects of general levels
 
of inflation. Periods
of high inflation
 
are often accompanied
 
by relatively higher
 
interest rates, and
 
periods of low
 
inflation are accompanied
 
by
relatively lower interest rates.
 
As market interest rates
 
rise or fall in relation
 
to the rates earned
 
on loans and investments,
the
 
value
 
of
 
these
 
assets
 
decreases
 
or
 
increases
 
respectively.
 
Inflation
 
can
 
also
 
impact
 
core
 
non-interest
 
expenses
associated with delivering the Company’s services.

The Company believes these non-GAAP measurements are
 
a key indicator of the ongoing earnings power
 
of the Company.
(2)
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2021,
 
47,473 shares of Class C preferred stock and
 
11,061,552 shares of Class D preferred stock were
converted into 10,278,072 shares of Class A common
 
stock. Additionally, the Bank completed its initial public offering of its Class
 
A common stock on
July 27, 2021, in which it issued 4,600,000 shares
 
of Class A common stock. As such, the total
 
shares issued and outstanding of Class A common stock
was 18,767,541 shares at September 30, 2021.
(3) Excludes the dilutive effect, if any, of shares of common stock issuable
 
upon exercise of outstanding stock options.
(4)
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2021,
 
basic net loss per share is the same as
 
diluted net loss per share as the inclusion of all
 
potential
common shares outstanding would have been antidilutive.
 
(5)
 
During the quarter ended December 31, 2021,
 
the Company entered into agreements with
 
the Class B shareholders to exchange all
 
outstanding
Class B non-voting common stock for Class A
 
voting common stock at a ratio of 1 share of Class
 
A common stock for each 5 shares of Class B non-
voting common stock. In calculating net income
 
(loss) per diluted share for the prior quarters
 
presented, the allocation of operating net income
 
available
to common stockholders was based on the weighted
 
average shares outstanding per common share
 
class to the total weighted average shares
outstanding during each period. The operating net
 
income allocation was calculated using the weighted
 
average shares outstanding of Class B common
stock on an as-converted basis.

Q3 2022 Form 10-Q
Item 3.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
As a smaller reporting company,
 
we are not required to provide the information required
 
by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the
 
supervision and with
 
the participation of
 
our management, including
 
our President and
 
Chief Executive Officer
and our
 
Chief Financial
 
Officer,
 
we evaluated
 
the effectiveness
 
of the
 
design and
 
operation of
 
the Company’s
 
disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
 
the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2022.
Based on that
 
evaluation, management believes
 
that the Company’s
 
disclosure controls and
 
procedures were effective
 
to
collect, process, and disclose the information required to be
 
disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange
Act within the required time periods as of the end of the
 
period covered by this Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been
 
no change in
 
our internal control
 
over financial reporting
 
(as defined in
 
Rules 13a-15(f) and
 
15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that has
 
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial
 
reporting.
 
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In
 
designing
 
and
 
evaluating
 
the
 
disclosure
 
controls
 
and
 
procedures,
 
management
 
recognizes
 
that
 
any
 
controls
 
and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving
the desired control objectives.
 
In addition, the design
 
of disclosure controls and
 
procedures must reflect the
 
fact that there
are resource constrains and that
 
management is required to apply
 
judgment in evaluating the
 
benefits of possible controls
and procedures relative to their costs.
