1. Nature of Business

Organization

Pacific Mercantile Bancorp (“PMBC”) is a bank holding company which, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Pacific Mercantile Bank (the “Bank”), is engaged in the commercial banking business in Southern California. PMBC is registered as a one bank holding company under the United States Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and, as such, is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRBSF”) under delegated authority from the Federal Reserve Board. Substantially all of our operations are conducted and substantially all of our assets are owned by the Bank, which accounts for substantially all of our consolidated revenues, expenses, and income. The Bank provides a full range of banking services to middle-market businesses and professionals primarily in Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego counties in Southern California and is subject to competition from, among other things, other banks and financial institutions and from financial services organizations conducting operations in those same markets. The Bank is chartered by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation under the Division of Financial Institutions and is a member of the FRBSF. In addition, the deposit accounts of the Bank’s customers are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to the maximum amount allowed by law.

PMBC and the Bank are sometimes referred to, together, on a consolidated basis, in this report as the “Company” or as “we”, “us” or “our”.

On March 22, 2021, PMBC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Banc of California, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Banc of California”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, PMBC will merge with and into Banc of California (the “Merger”), with Banc of California surviving the Merger. Promptly following the Merger, the Bank will merge with and into Banc of California’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Banc of California, National Association, a national banking association (the “Bank Merger”). Banc of California, National Association will be the surviving bank in the Bank Merger. The Merger Agreement was adopted and approved by the Board of Directors of each of PMBC and Banc of California. The closing of the Merger, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2021, is contingent upon shareholder approvals and receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, along with the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Except as discussed below, our accounting policies are described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019 (“Form~~2020 (as amended, the “Form 10-K”).

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Basis of Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, on a basis consistent with prior periods. Our financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year. The interim information should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of certain of our assets, liabilities, and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of our revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. For the fiscal periods covered by this report, those estimates related primarily to our determinations of the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”), the fair values of securities available for sale, and the determination of the valuation allowance pertaining to deferred tax assets. If circumstances or financial trends on which those estimates were based were to change in the future or there were to occur any currently unanticipated events affecting the amounts of those estimates, our future financial position or results of operations could differ, possibly materially, from those expected at the current time.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 ~~and 2019~~ include the accounts of PMBC and the Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date, based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting guidance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. On November 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates" which finalizes various effective date delays for private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and smaller reporting companies applying the credit losses (CECL), leases, and hedging standards. The effective date for smaller reporting companies has been delayed from the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 to the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We plan to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2023 and expect that it will have a material impact on the determination of our ALLL. We are unable to estimate the expected impact to the ALLL upon adoption due to various factors, primarily the fine tuning of our qualitative assumptions used within our preliminary model, uncertainty regarding economic conditions and the size and mix of our loan portfolio at the time of adoption, which could impact our historical loss factors. We are currently working with our existing ALLL software provider on further developing the model to perform the ALLL calculations upon adoption and we believe that we currently have in place the internal team capable of handling this implementation.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes," which eliminates certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. ~~Early adoption is permitted. Entities that elect~~We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021, and do not expect any material impact related to ~~early adopt the amendments in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that~~this pronouncement.

interim period. Additionally, entities that elect early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine the date of adoption and the impact on the Company.

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," which provides temporary optional expedients to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to an alternative reference rate such as Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine the date of adoption and the impact on the Company.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, "Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables –

Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs," which clarified that for each reporting period, an entity should reevaluate whether a

callable debt security is within the scope of paragraph 310-20-35-33 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This

guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within

those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021.

3. Fair Value Measurements

Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, we group assets and liabilities 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. These levels are:


Level 1			Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2			Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3			Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Risks with Fair Value Measurements

Fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and other information about the financial instruments. Because no active market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates are based in large part on judgments we make primarily regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, prepayment rates, and future expected loss experience. These estimates are subjective in nature and invariably involve some inherent uncertainties. Additionally, the occurrence of unexpected events or changes in circumstances can occur that could require us to make changes to our assumptions and which, in turn, could significantly affect and require us to make changes to our previous estimates of fair value.

In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of existing and anticipated future customer relationships and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments, such as premises and equipment and other real estate owned (“OREO”).

Measurement Methodology

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates its carrying value.

Interest-Bearing Deposits with Financial Institutions. The fair values of interest-bearing deposits maturing within one year approximate their carrying values.

FHLB and FRBSF Stock. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) and the FRBSF. As members, we are required to own stock of the FHLB and the FRBSF, the amount of which is based primarily on the level of our borrowings from those institutions. We also have the right to acquire additional shares of stock in either or both of the FHLB and the FRBSF. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we purchased 0 FHLB or FRBSF stock. NaN shares of FHLB stock or FRBSF stock were called during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. The fair values of the FHLB and FRBSF stock are equal to their respective carrying amounts, are classified as restricted securities and are periodically evaluated for impairment based on our assessment of the ultimate recoverability of our investments in that stock. Any cash or stock dividends paid to us on such stock are reported as income.

Investment Securities Available for Sale. Fair value measurement for our investment securities available for sale is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 investment securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, and U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. Level 2 investment securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Equity Investments Without Readily Determinable Fair Value. Equity investments without readily determinable fair value are accounted for under the measurement alternative method of accounting. These investments are measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus any changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Any cash or stock dividends paid to us on such investments are reported as noninterest income.

Impaired Loans. Loans measured for impairment are measured at an observable market price (if available), or the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). The fair value of an impaired loan may be estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those

1312

Table of Contents

impaired loans not requiring a specific loan loss reserve represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceeds the recorded investments in such loans. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we record the impaired loan at Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or we determine that the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we record the impaired loan at Level 3.

Loans. The fair value for loans with variable interest rates less a credit discount is the carrying amount. The fair value of fixed rate loans is derived by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original interest rate by the various homogeneous categories of loans. All loans have been adjusted to reflect changes in credit risk and represent the exit price of the loans. Changes are not recorded directly as an adjustment to current earnings or comprehensive income, but rather as an adjustment component in determining the overall adequacy of the loan loss reserve.

Other Real Estate Owned. OREO is reported at its net realizable value (fair value less estimated costs to sell) at the time any real estate collateral is acquired by the Bank in satisfaction of a loan. Subsequently, OREO is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is determined based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we record the foreclosed asset at Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we record the foreclosed asset at Level 3.

Other Foreclosed Assets. Other foreclosed assets are reported at their net realizable value (fair value less estimated costs to sell) at the time any collateral other than real estate is acquired by the Bank in satisfaction of a loan. Subsequently, other foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is determined based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we record the foreclosed asset at Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we record the foreclosed asset at Level 3.

Deposits. Deposits are carried at historical cost. The carrying amounts of deposits from savings and money market accounts are deemed to approximate fair value as they either have no stated maturities or short-term maturities. Certificates of deposit are estimated utilizing discounted cash flow techniques. The interest rates applied are rates currently being offered for similar certificates of deposit.

Borrowings. The fair value of borrowings is the carrying amount for those borrowings that mature on a daily basis. The fair value of term borrowings is derived by calculating the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be paid out by the Company. We classify our borrowings in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Junior Subordinated Debentures. The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures is based on quoted market prices of the underlying securities. These securities are variable rate in nature and repriced quarterly. We classify our junior subordinated debentures in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit. The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

Interest Receivable and Interest Payable. The carrying amounts of our accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable are deemed to approximate fair value.

At ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, U.S. agency residential mortgage backed securities with an aggregate fair market value of ~~$7.7~~$1.6 million and ~~$9.2~~$2.0 million, respectively, were pledged to secure repurchase agreements, local agency deposits and treasury, tax and loan accounts.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of securities available for sale at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 are shown in the tables below by contractual maturities taking into consideration historical prepayments based on the prior twelve months of principal payments. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities and historical prepayments, particularly with respect to collateralized mortgage obligations, primarily because prepayment rates are affected by changes in conditions in the interest rate market and, therefore, future prepayment rates may differ from historical prepayment rates.

We regularly monitor investments for significant declines in fair value. We have determined that declines in the fair values of these investments below their respective amortized costs, as set forth in the tables above, are temporary because (i) those declines were due to interest rate changes and not to a deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuers of those investment securities, and (ii) we have the ability to hold those securities until there is a recovery in their values or until their maturity.

We recognize other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) to our available-for-sale debt securities in accordance with FASB ASC 320-10. When there are credit losses associated with, but we have no intention to sell, an impaired debt security, and it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, we will separate the amount of impairment, or OTTI, between the amount that is credit-related and the amount that is related to non-credit factors. Credit-related impairments are recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. Any non-credit-related impairments are recognized and reflected in other comprehensive income in our consolidated statements of financial condition.

Through the impairment assessment process, we determined that there were no available-for-sale debt securities that were other-than-temporarily impaired at ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. We recorded 0 impairment credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities in our consolidated statements of operations for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and ~~2019.~~2020.

We have made a determination that the remainder of our securities with respect to which there were unrealized losses as of ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 are not other-than-temporarily impaired, because we have concluded that we have the ability to continue to hold those securities until their respective fair market values increase above their respective amortized costs or, if necessary, until their respective maturities. In reaching that conclusion we considered a number of factors and other information, which included: (i) the significance of each such security, (ii) the amount of the unrealized losses attributable to each such security, (iii) our liquidity position, (iv) the impact that retention of those securities could have on our capital position and (v) our evaluation of the expected future performance of these securities (based on the criteria discussed above).

Equity Investments Without Readily Determinable Fair Value

As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had 3 investments in private companies and limited partnerships without a readily determinable fair value. As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we owned less than 3% of the total investment in each such company or partnership. Under ASU 2016-01, we elected to measure these equity investments using the measurement alternative, which requires that these investments are measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus any changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, these investments were not impaired and there were no observable price changes. As a result, the balance shown below as of ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 represents the cost of the investments and is included within other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had ~~$325~~$58 thousand ~~and $524 thousand, respectively,~~ of net capital contributions to these investments.

The PPP loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and the principal and interest may be forgiven by the SBA if the borrower demonstrates that the loan proceeds were used as prescribed by the governing legislation and regulations during either an 8-week or 24-week period following funding (the "Covered Period"). Borrowers began submitting applications for forgiveness in the third quarter of 2020 and have until 10 months following the end of their Covered Period to apply. As of March 31, 2021, $96.9 million of our originated PPP loans have been forgiven by the SBA.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The ALLL represents our estimate of credit losses in our loan and lease portfolio that are probable and estimable at the balance sheet date. We employ economic models that are based on bank regulatory guidelines, industry standards and our own historical loan loss experience, as well as a number of more subjective qualitative factors, to determine both the sufficiency of the ALLL and the amount of the provisions that are required to increase or replenish the ALLL.

The ALLL is first determined by (i) analyzing all classified loans (graded as “Substandard” or “Doubtful” under our internal asset quality grading parameters) on nonaccrual status for loss exposure and (ii) establishing specific reserves as needed. ASC 310-10 defines loan impairment as the existence of uncertainty concerning collection of all principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of a loan. For collateral dependent loans, impairment is typically measured by comparing the loan amount to the fair value of collateral, less estimated costs to sell, with any “shortfall” amount charged off. Other methods can be used in estimating impairment, including market price and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original interest rate. We are an active lender with the U.S. Small Business Administration and collection of a percentage of the loan balance of many of the loans originated is guaranteed. The ALLL reserves are calculated against the non-guaranteed loan balances.

On a quarterly basis, we utilize a classification based loan loss migration model as well as review individual loans in determining the adequacy of the ALLL for homogenous pools of loans that are not subject to specific reserve allocations. Our loss migration analysis utilizes a series of nineteen staggered 16-quarter migration periods of loan loss history and industry loss factors to determine historical losses by classification category for each loan type, except certain consumer loans (automobile,

~~Table of Contents~~

mortgage and credit cards). We then apply these calculated loss factors, together with qualitative factors based on external economic conditions and trends and internal assessments, to the outstanding loan balances in each homogenous group of loans, and then, using our internal asset quality grading parameters, we grade the loans as “Pass,” “Special Mention,” “Substandard”

Table of Contents

or “Doubtful”. We analyze impaired loans individually. This grading is based on the credit classifications of assets as prescribed by government regulations and industry standards and is separated into the following groups:

•Pass: Loans classified as pass include current loans performing in accordance with contractual terms, installment/consumer loans that are not individually risk rated, and loans which exhibit certain risk factors that require greater than usual monitoring by management.

•Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention, while generally not delinquent, have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.

•Substandard: Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. There is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

•Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard loan, and may also be at delinquency status and have defined weaknesses based on currently existing facts, conditions and values making collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable.

Generally, the accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless we believe that the loan is adequately collateralized and it is in the process of collection. There were 40 loans ~~or $3.7 million,~~ 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest at ~~September 30, 2020. There were 0~~March 31, 2021, and $5.7 million loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. In certain instances, when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received (referred to as full nonaccrual basis of accounting), except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case such payments are applied to accrued and unpaid interest, which is credited to income (referred to as nonaccrual cash basis of accounting). Nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment becomes expected.

Impaired Loans

A loan generally is classified as impaired when, in our opinion, principal or interest is not likely to be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. We measure for impairments on a loan-by-loan basis, using either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The following table sets forth information regarding impaired loans, at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019:~~2020:

(1)When the discounted cash flows, collateral value or market price equals or exceeds the recorded investment in the loan, then specific reserves are not required to be set aside for the loan within the ALLL. This typically occurs when the impaired loans have been partially charged-off and/or there have been interest payments received and applied to the balance of the principal outstanding.

At ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, there were ~~$15.8~~$11.3 million and ~~$14.6~~$20.0 million, respectively, of impaired loans for which no specific reserves had been allocated because these loans, in our judgment, were sufficiently collateralized. Of the impaired loans at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 for which no specific reserves were allocated, ~~$9.2~~$8.6 million had been deemed impaired in the prior year.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”)

Pursuant to the FASB's ASU No. 2011-2, A Creditor’s Determination of whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, the Bank's TDRs totaled ~~$130 thousand~~$9.1 million at ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. There were 0$6.7 million TDRs as of December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. TDRs consist of loans to which modifications have been made for the purpose of alleviating temporary impairments of the borrower's financial condition and cash flows. Those modifications have come in the form of changes in amortization terms, reductions in interest rates, interest only payments and, in limited cases, concessions to outstanding loan balances. The modifications are made as part of workout plans we enter into with the borrower that are designed to provide a bridge for the borrower’s cash flow shortfalls in the near term. If a borrower works through the near term issues, then in most cases, the original contractual terms of the borrower’s loan will be reinstated. TDRs do not include short term loan modifications made on a good faith basis in response to ~~COVID-19.~~COVID-19, per Section 4013, Temporary Relief from Troubled Debt Restructurings, of the CARES Act. There were no loans restructured as TDRs during the three ~~or nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

6. Leases

We have historically entered into a number of lease arrangements under which we are the lessee. Specifically, all of our physical locations are subject to operating leases. In addition, we have elected the short-term lease practical expedient related to operating leases.

NaN of our office leases, including our corporate headquarters, include multiple optional renewal periods. To the extent we conclude that it is reasonably certain that a renewal option will be exercised, that renewal period is then included in the lease term, and the related payments are reflected in the ROU asset and lease liability. We did not consider any additional renewal periods to be reasonably certain of being exercised for our corporate headquarters because of the length of the lease term to renewal.

All of our leases include fixed rental payments. We commonly enter into leases under which the lease payments increase at predetermined dates. While the majority of our leases are gross leases, we also have a number of leases in which we make separate payments to the lessor based on the lessor’s property and casualty insurance costs and the property taxes assessed on the property, as well as a portion of the common area maintenance associated with the property.

During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ we recognized rent expense associated with our leases as follows:


		Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,							Three Months Ended March 31,

(1) Includes leases that are less than 12 months and equipment leases that are accounted for on a cash basis.

Because we generally do not have access to the rate implicit in the lease, we utilize our borrowing rate with the FHLB as the discount rate. The weighted average discount rate associated with operating leases as of ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and ~~2019~~2020 is 2.31% and ~~1.57%~~2.31%, respectively.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows:

7. Income Taxes

The CARES Act, passed by Congress during the first quarter of 2020 in response to the outbreak of COVID-19, provides for assistance in the form of income tax related relief measures, including temporary changes to income tax laws such as the ability to carryback NOLs for a period of five years, which does not apply to our Company. Management performed an evaluation of the tax relief measures available, and determined there was no significant impact to our Company, and therefore, no tax relief provisions were applied.

For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had income tax expense of ~~$2.1~~$1.4 million ~~and $1.9 million, respectively,~~ as a result of our operating income. Accounting rules specify that management must evaluate the deferred tax asset on a recurring basis to determine whether enough positive evidence exists to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax asset will be available to offset or reduce future taxes. The tax code allows net operating losses incurred prior to December 31, 2017 to be carried forward for 20 years from the date of the loss, and based on its evaluation, management believes that the Company will be able to realize the deferred tax asset within the period that our net operating losses may be carried forward. Due to the hierarchy of evidence that the accounting rules specify, management determined that there continued to be enough positive evidence to support 0 valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset at ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. Significant positive evidence included our three-year cumulative income position, the expectation that we will have positive earnings for the year based on positive income in eleven of the last twelve trailing quarters, forecasted net income for the year, and ~~a shift from accumulated deficit to~~ retained ~~earnings in the third quarter.~~earnings. Negative evidence included our ~~net loss for~~asset quality which has improved since the ~~first quarter of 2020 and asset quality.~~prior quarter.

For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, we had an income tax ~~expense~~benefit of ~~$658~~$991 thousand, ~~and $2.2 million, respectively,~~ as a result of our operating ~~income.~~loss. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, management determined that there continued to be enough positive evidence to support 0 valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset. Based on this evaluation, management believed that the Company would be able to realize the deferred tax asset within the period that our operating losses may be carried forward. Significant positive evidence included our three-year cumulative income position, ~~continued improvement in asset quality, and~~ the expectation that we will continue to have positive earnings based on ~~ten~~positive income in eleven of the last twelve trailing quarters, ~~of positive~~and forecasted net income ~~and our forecast.~~for the year. Negative evidence at ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 included our accumulated ~~deficit.~~deficit, net loss for the quarter, and deterioration in asset quality.

We file income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and the State of California. As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we were subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to our U.S. federal tax returns for the 2017 to ~~2019~~2020 tax years and the Franchise Tax Board for California state income tax returns for the ~~2015~~2016 to ~~2019~~2020 tax years. Net operating losses on our U.S. federal and California state income tax returns may be carried forward up to 20 years. In June 2020, the State of California suspended the use of net operating losses for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022, and extended the carryover periods for these years. As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense. We did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, and no interest expense was recognized during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and ~~2019.~~2020.

8. Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans

In May 2010, our shareholders approved the adoption of our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, which was amended at the Annual Shareholders meeting held in May 2013 (the “2010 Incentive Plan”), and which superseded our shareholder-approved 2008 and 2004 Equity Incentive Plans (the “Previously Approved Plans”). As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, there were 0 options to purchase shares of our common stock granted under the Previously Approved Plans. As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, there were options to purchase a total of ~~342,428~~323,587 shares of our common stock and ~~55,653~~35,353 shares of our unvested restricted stock grants under the 2010 Incentive Plan.

In May 2019, our shareholders approved the adoption of our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Incentive Plan”), which authorized and set aside a total of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance on the exercise of stock options or the grant of restricted stock or other equity incentives to our officers, and other key employees and directors. ~~There were 250,000 options to purchase shares of our common stock granted during 2019 under the 2019 Incentive Plan and outstanding at September 30, 2020.~~ Since approval of the 2019 Incentive Plan, 0 additional awards will be issued under the 2010 Incentive Plan, although awards outstanding under the 2010 Incentive Plan will remain outstanding and will continue to be governed by the terms of the 2010 Incentive Plan and any applicable award agreements. Under the terms of the 2019 Incentive Plan, any forfeited options or unvested restricted stock grants that had been issued under the Previously Approved Plans or the 2010 Incentive Plan will not be available for future equity incentive grants. Each restricted stock option or restricted stock unit issued under the terms of the 2019 Incentive Plan will be counted against the share limit as 2.5 shares, while each stock option or SAR issued will be counted as 1 share against the share limit. As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, there were outstanding options to purchase a total of 250,000 shares of our common stock, 75,000 shares of our unvested restricted stock units, and ~~54,192~~158,894 shares of our unvested restricted stock grants under the 2019 Incentive Plan. As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, there remain ~~1,364,520~~1,039,830 shares available for future grants under the 2019 Incentive Plan.

A stock option entitles the recipient to purchase shares of our common stock at a price per share that may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s shares on the date the option is granted. Restricted shares may be granted at such purchase prices and on such other terms, including restrictions and Company repurchase or reacquisition rights, as are fixed by the Compensation Committee at the time rights to purchase such restricted shares are granted. Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) entitle the recipient to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s shares on the date of vesting and a “base price” (which, in most cases, will be equal to the fair market value of the Company’s shares on the date the SAR is granted), subject to the right of the Company to make such payment in shares of its common stock at their then fair market value. Stock units may be payable in cash or shares of common stock, or a combination of the two. A stock unit is a bookkeeping entry representing the equivalent of one common share. Options, restricted shares, SARs and stock units may vest immediately or in installments over various periods generally ranging up to five years, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service or the achievement of specified performance goals, as determined by the Compensation Committee at the time it grants or awards the options, the restricted shares, the SARs or the stock units. Stock options, SARs and stock units may be granted for terms of up to 10 years after the date of grant, but will terminate sooner upon or shortly after a termination of service occurring prior to the expiration of the term of the option, SAR or stock unit. The Company will become entitled to repurchase any unvested restricted shares, at the same price that was paid for the shares by the recipient, or to cancel those shares in the event of a termination of employment or service of the holder of such shares or if any performance goals specified in the award are not satisfied. To date, the Company has not granted any SARs.

Under FASB ASC 718-10, we are required to recognize, in our financial statements, the fair value of the options, restricted shares, SARs and stock units that we grant as compensation cost over their respective service periods. The fair values of the options that were outstanding at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 under the 2010 Incentive Plan and the 2019 Incentive Plan were estimated as of their respective dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company, under the 2010 Incentive Plan and the 2019 Incentive Plan, has also granted restricted stock and stock units for the benefit of its employees and directors. These restricted shares vest over a period ranging from three to five years for employees and one year for directors while the stock units vest over a period of one to five years. The recipients of restricted shares have the right to vote all shares subject to such grant and receive all dividends with respect to such shares whether or not the shares have vested. The recipients of stock units have no rights of a stockholder. The recipients do not pay any cash consideration for the shares or stock units.

9. Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss allocable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock that would then share in our earnings.

The following table shows how we computed basic and diluted EPS for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and ~~2019.~~2020.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

To meet the financing needs of our customers in the normal course of business, we are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements. At ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we were committed to fund certain loans including letters of credit amounting to approximately ~~$336~~$341 million and ~~$316~~$347 million, respectively. The contractual amounts of a credit-related financial instrument, such as a commitment to extend credit, a credit-card arrangement or a letter of credit, represent the amount of potential accounting loss should the commitment be fully drawn upon, the customer were to default, and the value of any existing collateral securing the customer’s payment obligation becomes worthless. The loss reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $350 thousand at both ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

As a result, we use the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates; however, since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis, using the same credit underwriting standards that are employed in making commercial loans. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, upon an extension of credit is based on our evaluation of the creditworthiness of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties.

Borrowings

At ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, our borrowings and contractual obligations consisted of the following:

(Dollars in thousands) September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019

Total $ 23,962 $ 30,000

~~(1) Other borrowings are from the Federal Reserve's Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility ("PPPLF") that extends credit to eligible financial institutions that originate PPP loans.~~

FHLB advances—short-term	$	0	$	10,000




Total	$	0	$	10,000

The table below sets forth the amounts of, the interest rates we pay on, and the maturity dates of these FHLB borrowings. These borrowings had a weighted-average annualized interest rate of 1.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

At ~~September 30, 2020, $443~~March 31, 2021, $439 million of loans were pledged to support our FHLB borrowings and our unfunded borrowing capacity. As of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had unused borrowing capacity of ~~$256~~$286 million with the FHLB. The highest amount of borrowings outstanding at any month-end during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 was ~~$74.0~~$10.0 million. At ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, commercial and consumer loans of ~~$178~~$130 million and ~~$210~~$146 million, respectively, were pledged to secure borrowings from the FRB to support our unfunded borrowing capacity of ~~$144~~$94 million and ~~$146~~$106 million, respectively.

As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had ~~$30.0~~$10.0 million of outstanding short-term borrowings and 0 outstanding long-term borrowings that we had obtained from the FHLB. These borrowings had a weighted-average annualized interest rate of ~~1.82%~~1.62% for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had unused borrowing capacity of ~~$172~~$242 million with the FHLB. The highest amount of borrowings outstanding at any month-end during the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 was ~~$55~~$124 million.

Litigation, Claims and Assessments

We are a defendant in or a party to a number of legal actions or proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for monetary damages are asserted against us.

~~Table of Contents~~

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we establish an accrued liability for lawsuits or other legal proceedings when they present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. We estimate any potential loss based upon currently available information and significant judgments and a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. Moreover, the facts and circumstances on which such estimates are based will change over time. Therefore, the amount of any losses we might incur in any lawsuits or other legal proceedings may exceed amounts which we had accrued based on our estimates and those estimates do not represent the maximum loss exposure that we may have in connection with any lawsuits or other legal proceedings.

Based on our evaluation of lawsuits and other proceedings that were pending against us as of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the outcomes in those suits or other proceedings are not expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved, some of which are beyond our control, and the very large or indeterminate damages often sought in such legal actions or proceedings, an adverse outcome in one or more of these suits or proceedings could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

12. Business Segment Information

We have 1 reportable business segment, commercial banking. The commercial banking segment provides middle-market businesses, professional firms and individuals with a diversified range of products and services such as various types of deposit accounts, various types of commercial and consumer loans, cash management services, and online banking services.

Since our operating segment derives all of its revenues from interest and noninterest income and interest expense constitutes its most significant expense, this segment is reported below using net interest income (interest income less interest expense) and noninterest income (primarily net gains on sales of Small Business Administration loans and fee income). We do not allocate general and administrative expenses or income taxes to our operating segment.

The following table sets forth information regarding the net interest income and noninterest income for our commercial banking segment for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and ~~2019.~~2020.

13. Regulatory Capital

Under federal banking regulations that apply to all United States-based bank holding companies over $3 billion in total assets and all federally insured banks, the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) must meet specific capital adequacy requirements that, for the most part, involve quantitative measures, primarily in terms of the ratios of their capital to their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items, calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company (on a consolidated basis) is below the reporting threshold of $3 billion in total assets and therefore is not subject to the same capital adequacy requirements. Under those regulations, each federally insured bank is determined by its primary federal bank regulatory agency to come within one of the following capital adequacy categories on the basis of its capital ratios:

•well-capitalized

•adequately capitalized

•undercapitalized

•significantly undercapitalized; or

•critically undercapitalized

Certain qualitative assessments also are made by a banking institution’s primary federal regulatory agency that could lead the agency to determine that the banking institution should be assigned to a lower capital category than the one indicated by the quantitative measures used to assess the institution’s capital adequacy. At each successive lower capital category, a banking institution is subject to greater operating restrictions and increased regulatory supervision by its federal bank regulatory agency.

The following table sets forth the capital and capital ratios of the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) at ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, as compared to the regulatory requirements applicable to it.


						Applicable Federal Regulatory Requirement											Applicable Federal Regulatory Requirement

In early July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC issued final rules implementing the Basel III regulatory capital framework and related Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act changes. The rules revise minimum capital requirements and adjust prompt correct action thresholds. The final rules revise the regulatory capital elements, add a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio, increase the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio requirement, and implement a new capital conservation buffer. The rules also permit certain banking organizations to retain, through a one-time election, the existing treatment for accumulated other comprehensive income. The final rules took effect for community banks on January 1, 2015, subject to a transition period for certain parts of the rules. At ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) continued to qualify as a well-capitalized institution under the capital adequacy guidelines described above.

On September 17, 2019, the FDIC finalized a rule that introduces an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations (i.e., the community bank leverage ratio (CBLR) framework), as required by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act. The CBLR framework is designed to reduce burden by removing the requirements for calculating and reporting risk-based capital ratios for qualifying community banking organizations that opt into the framework. In order to qualify for the CBLR framework, a community banking organization must have a tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9.0%, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities. A qualifying community banking organization that opts into the CBLR framework and meets all requirements under the framework will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital. The Company has determined it will not opt into the CBLR framework for the Bank.

14. Risks and Uncertainties

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the Federal Reserve's response to the economic challenges ~~during the first three quarters of 2020~~ has resulted in an uncertain and rapidly evolving economy. Governmental response to combat this pandemic ~~have~~has resulted in approximately 25% of our staff to shift to work remotely. Our business continuity plans have been activated by COVID-19 and we have been able to fully support our remote workforce and have the ability to support all employees in a remote work environment. These remote work arrangements have not adversely impacted our ability to serve our clients, and have not had an impact on our financial reporting systems or the internal controls we have over financial reporting, disclosures and related procedures.

The most significant impact of COVID-19 on our business has been to the quality of our loan portfolio and to net interest income as short-term interest rates sharply declined. We have increased the qualitative factors used in the determination of the adequacy of our allowance for loan and lease loss in anticipation of the impact that COVID-19 will have on our clients and their ability to fulfill their obligations. We have no certainty that the provisions we made during ~~the first three quarters of~~ 2020 will be sufficient to absorb the losses that stem from the impact of COVID-19 on our clients. As the longer term effects on our clients from the COVID-19 pandemic become more apparent, we may need to charge-off some or all of the balance on certain loans and make further provisions to increase our allowance for loan and lease losses. These potential additional provisions for loan and lease losses will have a direct impact upon our capital, including the potential need to reevaluate the need for a valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset. At this time, we don't expect that there would be any material impairment to the valuation of other long-lived assets, right of use assets, or our investment securities.

The Bank is currently Well Capitalized under federal banking regulations that apply to all United States-based banks, with approximately ~~$67~~$75 million of capital in excess of what is required for the Bank to be Well Capitalized using the ratio of Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets. The Company has approximately $10 million of capital that it could contribute to the Bank should it be needed. In the event that future loan and leases loss and/or tax provisions reduce our capital surplus, we would be required to undertake measures to return the Bank's capital ratios to Well Capitalized levels, which could include but not be limited to raising additional capital or reducing the Bank's asset size. We believe that we would have access to equity and debt markets to secure additional capital for the Bank should the need arise, but we have no certainty regarding the extent of the availability of these markets at the time such need would arise.

Increased demand for liquidity by our clients is another impact that we anticipate could occur should the COVID-19 effects be prolonged. As of ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021, we believe the Company and the Bank's on-balance sheet liquidity was very ~~strong and combined~~strong. Combined with our contingent liquidity resources, we believe that the Bank has sufficient resources to meet the liquidity needs of our clients. In response to COVID-19, the Federal Reserve has made other provisions that could assist the Bank in satisfying its liquidity needs, such as reducing our reserve requirement to zero, expanding access to the discount window through collateral pledging and extension of term borrowings.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) that are not historical facts or that discuss our expectations, beliefs or views, including those regarding our ~~future operations or~~proposed merger with Banc of California, Inc. ("Banc of California"), our future financial performance ~~or financial or other trends in~~and our business, ~~or in~~trends and expectations regarding the markets in which we operate, and our future plans, including the credit exposure of certain loan products and other components of our business that could be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Often, they include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.” The information contained in such forward-looking statements is based on current information available to us and on assumptions that we make about future economic and market conditions and other events over which we do not have control. In addition, our business and the markets in which we operate are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties, and the occurrence of events in the future or changes in circumstances that had not been anticipated, could cause our financial condition or actual operating results in the future to differ materially from our expected financial condition or operating results that are set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this Report and could, therefore, also affect the price performance of our shares.

In addition to the risk of incurring loan losses and provision for loan losses, which is an inherent risk of the banking business, these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the possibility that the merger with Banc of California does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder or other approvals, financial tests or other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all; changes in Banc of California’s or our stock price before closing, including as a result of the companies’ financial performance prior to closing, general stock market movements, and the performance of other financial companies and peer group companies; the risk that the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, including as a result of changes in general economic and market conditions, interest and exchange rates, monetary policy, laws and regulations and their enforcement, and the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which Banc of California and we operate; Banc of California’s ability to promptly and effectively integrate our businesses following the merger; the reaction to the transaction of the companies’ customers, employees and counterparties; diversion of management time on merger-related issues; deteriorating economic conditions and macroeconomic factors such as unemployment rates and the volume of bankruptcies, as well as changes in monetary, fiscal or tax policy to address the impact of COVID-19, any of which could cause us to incur additional loan losses and adversely affect our results of operations in the future; the risk that the credit quality of our borrowers declines; potential declines in the value of the collateral for secured loans; the risk that steps we have taken to strengthen our overall credit administration are not effective; the risk of a recession in the United States economy, and domestic or international economic conditions, which could cause us to incur additional loan losses and adversely affect our results of operations in the future; the risk that our interest margins and, therefore, our net interest income will be adversely affected by changes in prevailing interest rates; the risk that we will not succeed in further reducing our remaining nonperforming assets, in which event we would face the prospect of further loan charge-offs and write-downs of other real estate owned and would continue to incur expenses associated with the management and disposition of those assets; the risk that we will not be able to manage our interest rate risks effectively, in which event our operating results could be harmed; the prospect of changes in government regulation of banking and other financial services organizations, which could impact our costs of doing business and restrict our ability to take advantage of business and growth opportunities; the risk that our efforts to develop a robust commercial banking platform may not succeed; and the risk that we may be unable to realize our expected level of increasing deposit inflows. Many of the foregoing risks and uncertainties are, and will be, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and any worsening of the global business and economic environment as a result. Readers of this Report are encouraged to review the additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties to which our business is subject that is contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019 (the “2019~~2020 (as amended, the “2020 Form 10-K”) that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March ~~9, 2020,~~15, 2021, as such information may be updated from time to time in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q that we file with the SEC. We urge you to read those risk factors in conjunction with your review of the following discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended, and our financial condition at, ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

Due to the risks and uncertainties we face, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, which speak only as of the date of this Report, or to make predictions about future performance based solely on historical financial performance. We also disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking

Interest Income

Three Months Ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020 ~~and 2019~~

Total interest income decreased ~~4.5%~~7.3% to ~~$16.0~~$13.7 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 from ~~$16.8~~$14.8 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. This was primarily due to a decrease in interest earned on ~~short-term investments~~loans as a result of a decrease in the average yield during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period prior ~~year period.~~year. During the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ interest income on loans was ~~$15.7~~$13.3 million and ~~$15.0~~$13.8 million, respectively, yielding ~~4.76%~~4.32% and ~~5.44%~~4.96% on average loan balances of ~~$1.31~~$1.25 billion and ~~$1.10~~$1.12 billion, respectively. ~~The increase to interest income on loans during the three months ended September 30, 2020 is due to an increase in the average loan balance primarily attributable to the execution of PPP.~~ The decrease in average loan yields is primarily attributable to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board") cutting short-term interest rates by ~~225~~150 basis points ~~throughout~~near the ~~course~~end of ~~the period from August 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020, of which 150 of the basis point reduction occurred in~~ the first quarter of 2020 in response to the economic conditions caused by the outbreak of ~~COVID.~~COVID, and is partially offset by increased fee income and average loan balance related to our participation in PPP.

During the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ interest income from our securities available-for-sale and stock was ~~$222~~$315 thousand and ~~$257~~$261 thousand, respectively, yielding ~~2.53%~~2.38% and ~~2.90%~~2.93% on average balances of ~~$34.9~~$53.7 million and ~~$35.1~~$35.8 million, respectively. ~~The average securities balances decreased as a result of the maturities of, and payments on, securities available-for-sale during 2019.~~ Interest income from our short-term investments, including our Federal Funds sold and interest-bearing deposits, was ~~$94~~$52 thousand and ~~$1.5 million~~$721 thousand for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively, yielding ~~0.11%~~0.10% and ~~2.21%~~1.31% on average balances of ~~$349.7~~$201.5 million and ~~$263.2~~$220.6 million, respectively. The decrease in interest income from our short-term investments was primarily attributable to the Federal Reserve Board cutting short-term interest rates by ~~225~~150 basis points ~~throughout~~near the ~~course~~end of ~~the period from August 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020, of which 150 of the basis point reduction occurred in~~ the first quarter of 2020 in response to the economic conditions caused by the outbreak of COVID. As a result, total interest income on investments decreased for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020.

~~Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019~~

Total interest income decreased 6.1% to $46.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $49.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This was primarily due to a $3.5 million, or 79.9%, decrease in interest income on short-term investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same prior year period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, interest income on loans was $44.8 million and $44.2 million, respectively, yielding 4.77% and 5.46% on average loan balances of $1.25 billion and $1.08 billion, respectively. The increase in the average loan balances is primarily attributable to the execution of PPP during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Loan interest income increased despite the decrease in yield as a result of fee income from PPP loans included in interest income. The decrease in average short-term investment and loan yield is primarily attributable to the Federal Reserve Board cutting short-term interest rates by 225 basis points throughout the course of the year from August 1, 2019 through

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, interest income from our securities available-for-sale and stock was $693 thousand and $808 thousand, respectively, yielding 2.63% and 2.92% on average balances of $35.2 million and $37.0 million, respectively. The average securities balances decreased as a result of the maturities of, and payments on, securities available-for-sale during 2019. Interest income from our short-term investments, including our Federal Funds sold and interest-bearing deposits, was $894 thousand and $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, yielding 0.40% and 2.35% on average balances of $297.6 million and $253.1 million, respectively. The decrease in interest income from our short-term investments was primarily attributable to an decrease in the average yield during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as a result of the Federal Reserve Board cutting short-term interest rates by 225 basis points throughout the course of the period from August 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020, of which 150 of the basis point reduction occurred in the first quarter of 2020 in response to the economic conditions caused by the outbreak of COVID. As a result, total interest income on investments decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense decreased 40.9% to $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our cost of funds from 1.89% at September 30, 2019 to 1.10% at September 30, 2020, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $874.0 million at September 30, 2019 to $887.3 million at September 30, 2020, which consisted of deposits, borrowings and junior subordinated debentures. Our cost of funds decreased as a result of the actions of the Federal Reserve Board to cut short-term interest rates by 75 basis points throughout the year 2019 and 150 basis points during the first quarter of 2020 in response to the outbreak of COVID. The increase in our average balance of interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of an increase in our FHLB. Interest expense on our certificates of deposit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $4.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively, with a cost of funds of 2.11% and 2.21% on average balances of $258.5 million and $264.6 million, respectively.

Net Interest Margin

One of the principal determinants of a bank’s income is its net interest income, which is the difference between (i) the interest that a bank earns on loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets, on the one hand, and (ii) its interest expense, which consists primarily of the interest it must pay to attract and retain deposits and the interest that it pays on borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities, on the other hand. As a general rule, all other things being equal, the greater the difference or “spread” between the amount of our interest income and the amount of our interest expense, the greater will be our net income; whereas, a decline in that difference or “spread” will generally result in a decline in our net income.

A bank’s interest income and interest expense are affected by a number of factors, some of which are outside of its control, including national and local economic conditions and the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board which affect interest rates, competition in the market place for loans and deposits, the demand for loans and the ability of borrowers to meet their loan payment obligations. Net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of total average interest earning assets, is a banking organization’s “net interest margin.”

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

We maintain reserves to provide for loan losses that occur in the ordinary course of the banking business. When it is determined that the payment in full of a loan has become unlikely, the carrying value of the loan is reduced (“written down”) to what management believes is its realizable value or, if it is determined that a loan no longer has any realizable value, the carrying value of the loan is written off in its entirety (a loan “charge-off”). Loan charge-offs and write-downs are charged against our allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”). The amount of the ALLL is increased periodically to replenish the ALLL after it has been reduced due to loan write-downs or charge-offs. The ALLL also is increased or decreased periodically to reflect increases or decreases in the volume of outstanding loans and to take account of changes in the risk of probable loan losses due to financial performance of borrowers, the value of collateral securing nonperforming loans or changing economic conditions. Increases in the ALLL are made through a “provision for loan and lease losses” that is recorded as an expense in the statement of operations. Increases in the ALLL are also recognized through the recovery of charged-off loans which are added back to the ALLL. As such, recoveries are a direct offset for a provision for loan and lease losses that would otherwise be needed to replenish or increase the ALLL.

We employ economic models and data that conform to bank regulatory guidelines and reflect sound industry practices as well as our own historical loan loss experience to determine the sufficiency of the ALLL and any provisions needed to increase or replenish the ALLL. Those determinations involve judgments and assumptions about current economic conditions and external events that can impact the ability of borrowers to meet their loan obligations. However, the duration and impact of these factors cannot be determined with any certainty. As such, unanticipated changes in economic or market conditions, bank regulatory guidelines or the sound practices that are used to determine the sufficiency of the ALLL, could require us to record additional, and possibly significant, provisions to increase the ALLL. This would have the effect of reducing reportable income or, in the most extreme circumstance, creating a reportable loss. In addition, the Federal Reserve Bank and the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation ("CDFPI"), as an integral part of their regulatory oversight, periodically review the adequacy of our ALLL. These agencies may require us to make additional provisions for perceived potential loan losses, over and above the provisions that we have already made, the effect of which would be to reduce our income or increase any losses we might incur.

We recorded no provision for loan and lease losses during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 as ~~a result~~the level of ~~a decrease~~allowance built earlier in the ~~balance~~prior year in anticipation of ~~our loan portfolio and a reduction~~credits impacted by COVID-19 eventually migrating to nonperforming status continued to be sufficient to reflect the actual migration trends experienced in ~~nonperforming loans. During~~ the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $9.1 million as a result of total charge-offs of $5.2 million, an increase in classified and nonperforming loans, and qualitative factor increases related to COVID. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we made adjustments to our qualitative risk factor to incorporate the current economic conditions caused by the COVID pandemic.portfolio. We recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $2.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as a result of total charge-offs of $5.7 million, which primarily related to one large credit, partially offset by a change in the mix of our loan portfolio.

Provision for Income Tax

For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had income tax expense of ~~$2.1~~$1.4 million ~~and $1.9 million, respectively,~~ as a result of our operating ~~income. Accounting rules specify that management must evaluate~~income, compared to an income tax benefit of $991 thousand for the ~~deferred tax asset on~~three months ended March 31, 2020, as a ~~recurring basis to determine whether enough positive evidence exists to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that~~result of our operating loss. During the ~~deferred tax asset will be available to offset or reduce future taxes. The tax code allows net operating losses incurred prior to December~~three months ended March 31, ~~2017 to be carried forward for 20 years from the date of the loss,~~2021 and based on its evaluation, management believes that the Company will be able to realize the deferred tax asset within the period that our net operating losses may be carried forward. Due to the hierarchy of evidence that the accounting rules specify,March 31, 2020, management determined that there continued to be enough positive evidence to support no valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset, ~~at September 30, 2020. Significant positive evidence included our three-year cumulative income position, the expectation that we will have positive earnings for the year~~and based on positive income in eleven of the last twelve trailing quarters, forecasted net income for the year, and a shift from accumulated deficit to retained earnings in the third quarter. Negative evidence included our net loss for the first quarter of 2020 and deterioration in asset quality.

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had income tax expense of $658 thousand and $2.2 million, respectively, as a result of our operating income. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, management determined that there continued to be enough positive evidence to support no valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset. Based on this evaluation, ~~management believed~~concluded that the Company would be able to realize the deferred tax asset within the period that our operating losses may be carried forward. ~~Significant positive~~Positive evidence as of March 31, 2021 included our three-year cumulative income position, ~~continued improvement~~forecasted net income for the year, and significant improvements in our asset quality during the quarter. In addition, negative evidence as of March 31, 2020 such as an accumulated deficit, net loss for the quarter, and deterioration in asset quality were remedied over the course of the year, and ~~the expectation that we will continue to have positive~~resulted in retained earnings, ~~based on ten trailing quarters of positive~~net income, and ~~our forecast. Negative evidence at September 30, 2019 included our accumulated deficit.~~significant decreases in nonaccrual and classified loans as of March 31, 2021.

Investment Portfolio

Securities Available for Sale. Securities that we intend to hold for an indefinite period of time, but which may be sold in response to changes in liquidity needs, in interest rates, or in prepayment risks or other similar factors, are classified as “securities available for sale”. Such securities are recorded on our balance sheet at their respective fair values and increases or decreases in those values are recorded as unrealized gains or losses, respectively, and are reported as other comprehensive income (loss) on our accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition, rather than included in or deducted from our earnings.

The following is a summary of the major components of securities available for sale and a comparison of the amortized cost, estimated fair values and the gross unrealized gains and losses attributable to those securities, as of ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019:~~2020:

Loans

The outbreak of COVID-19 will continue to have an impact on our loan portfolio as we experience a prolonged period of economic uncertainty that affects a broad range of industries in which our customers operate. Disruptions to our customers could result in increased risk of delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and losses on our loans. As a result of these risks, we have provided for additional losses in our provision for loan and lease losses with increased qualitative factors to reflect the current economic environment. Our participation in the PPP has allowed us to assist hundreds of our customers in securing funding from the SBA. The Bank was able to begin processing applications for PPP loans on April 3, 2020, the very first day the SBA began accepting applications, due to the preparations made by the Bank at the end of the first quarter. The Bank has been able to process loan applications for approximately ~~$281~~$374 million, which was largely for the benefit of the Bank's existing clients who have been impacted by COVID-19. Our loan growth ~~through~~in the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 is primarily due to these loans funded under the PPP.

The following table sets forth the composition, by loan category, of our loan portfolio at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019:~~2020:

Nonperforming Assets and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

Nonperforming Assets. Nonperforming loans consist of (i) loans on nonaccrual status which are loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued and include restructured loans when there has not been a history of past performance on debt service in accordance with the contractual terms of the restructured loans, and (ii) loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonperforming loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”), which consists of real properties that we have acquired by or in lieu of foreclosure and which we intend to offer for sale.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in our opinion, the full timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless we believe the loan is adequately collateralized and the loan is in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, we may place a particular loan on nonaccrual status earlier, depending upon the individual circumstances involved in that loan’s delinquency. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of unpaid amounts on such a loan are applied to reduce principal when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case such payments are applied to interest and are credited to income. Nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status if and when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis for impaired loans which, based on our nonaccrual policy, do not require nonaccrual treatment.

The following table sets forth information regarding our nonperforming assets, as well as information regarding restructured loans, at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019:~~2020:

As the table above indicates, total nonperforming assets ~~increased~~decreased by approximately ~~$4.8~~19.4 million, or ~~30%~~48%, to ~~$20.6~~$20.7 million as of ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 from ~~$15.8~~$40.1 million as of December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The ~~increase~~decrease in our nonaccrual loans resulted primarily from ~~$20.6 million of additions, partially offset by $5.4 million of charge-offs, $9.9~~$11.1 million of payoffs or pay downs on our nonaccrual loans, ~~and the transfer~~$10.4 million returning to ~~other assets~~accrual status, $538 thousand of ~~$558 thousand~~charge-offs, partially offset by $2.7 million of additions during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

Information Regarding Impaired Loans. At ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, loans deemed impaired totaled ~~$16.8~~$26.1 million as compared to ~~$15.7~~$39.9 million at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. We had an average investment in impaired loans of ~~$19.3~~$33.0 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, as compared to ~~$5.0~~$17.9 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019.~~March 31, 2020. The interest that would have been earned during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 had the nonaccruing impaired loans remained current in accordance with their original terms was approximately ~~$1.5 million.~~$424 thousand.

The following table sets forth the amount of impaired loans to which a portion of the ALLL has been specifically allocated, and the aggregate amount so allocated, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 310-10, and the amount of the ALLL and the amount of impaired loans for which no such allocations were made, in each case at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019:~~2020:

The ~~$1.1~~$13.8 million ~~increase~~decrease in impaired loans to ~~$16.8~~$26.1 million at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 from ~~$15.7~~$39.9 million at December 31, ~~2019~~2020 was primarily attributable to ~~$16.8~~$11.1 million in principal payments, $10.4 million returned to accrual, $538 thousand charged-off, partially offset by $2.8 million in additions to impaired loans during the ~~period, partially offset by $9.7 million in principal payments, $558 thousand transferred to other assets, and $5.4 million charged-off during the nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. Based on an internal analysis, using the current estimated fair values of the collateral or the discounted present values of the future estimated cash flows of the impaired loans, we concluded that, at ~~September 30, 2020, $185 thousand~~March 31, 2021, $2.0 million specific reserves were required on our impaired loans and that all impaired loans were otherwise well secured and adequately collateralized.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. The ALLL totaled ~~$17.5~~$17.1 million, representing ~~1.37%~~1.38% of total loans outstanding at ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, as compared to ~~$13.6~~$17.5 million, or ~~1.21%~~1.43% of loans outstanding, at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Total loans at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 included ~~$281.0~~$280.6 million of PPP loans that are 100% government guaranteed. The ALLL to total loans excluding the PPP loans at this date was ~~1.75%~~1.78%, which is a non-GAAP financial measure.

The adequacy of the ALLL is determined through periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and other factors that can reasonably be expected to affect the ability of borrowers to meet their loan obligations. Those factors are inherently subjective as the process for determining the adequacy of the ALLL involves some significant estimates and assumptions about such matters such as (i) economic conditions and trends and the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows of borrowers which can affect their ability to meet their loan obligations to us, (ii) the fair value of the collateral securing nonperforming loans, (iii) estimates of losses that we may incur on nonperforming loans, which are determined on the basis of historical loss experience and industry loss factors and bank regulatory guidelines, which are subject to change, and (iv) various qualitative factors. Since those factors are subject to changes in economic and other conditions and changes in regulatory guidelines or other circumstances over which we have no control, the amount of the ALLL may prove to be insufficient to cover all of the loan losses we might incur in the future. In such an event, it may become necessary for us to increase the ALLL from time to time to maintain its adequacy. Such increases are effectuated by means of a charge to income, referred to as the “provision for loan and lease losses”, in our statements of our operations. See “—Results of Operations— Provision for Loan and Lease Losses, above in this Item 2.

The amount of the ALLL is first determined by assigning reserve ratios for all loans. All nonaccrual loans and other loans classified as “Special Mention,” “Substandard” or “Doubtful” (“classified loans” or “classification categories”) and not fully collateralized are then assigned specific reserves within the ALLL, with greater reserve allocations made to loans deemed to be of a higher risk. These ratios are determined based on prior loss history and industry guidelines and loss factors, by type of loan, adjusted for current economic factors and current economic trends. Refer to Note 5, Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses, in Item 1 for definitions related to our internal asset quality indicators stated above.

On a quarterly basis, we utilize a classification based loan loss migration model as well as review individual loans in determining the adequacy of the ALLL. Our loss migration analysis tracks a certain number of quarters of loan loss history and

~~Table of Contents~~

industry loss factors to determine historical losses by classification category for each loan type, except certain consumer loans ~~(automobile,~~

Table of Contents

(automobile, mortgage and credit cards), which are analyzed as homogeneous loan pools. These calculated loss factors are then applied to outstanding loan balances. We analyze impaired loans individually.

In determining whether and the extent to which we will make adjustments to our loan loss migration model for purposes of determining the ALLL, we also consider a number of qualitative factors that can affect the performance and the collectability of the loans in our loan portfolio. Such qualitative factors include:

•The effects of changes that we may make in our loan policies or underwriting standards on the quality of the loans and the risks in our loan portfolios;

•Trends and changes in local, regional and national economic conditions, as well as changes in industry specific conditions, and any other reasonably foreseeable events that could affect the performance or the collectability of the loans in our loan portfolios;

•Material changes that may occur in the mix or in the volume of the loans in our loan portfolios that could alter, whether positively or negatively, the risk profile of those portfolios;

•Changes in management or loan personnel or other circumstances that could, either positively or negatively, impact the application of our loan underwriting standards, the monitoring of nonperforming loans or our loan collection efforts; and

•External factors that, in addition to economic conditions, can affect the ability of borrowers to meet their loan obligations, such as fires, earthquakes and terrorist attacks.

Determining the effects that these qualitative factors may have on the performance of each category of loans in our loan portfolio requires numerous judgments, assumptions and estimates about conditions, trends and events which may subsequently prove to have been incorrect due to circumstances outside of our control. Moreover, the effects of qualitative factors such as these on the performance of our loan portfolios are often difficult to quantify. As a result, we may sustain loan losses in any particular period that are sizable in relation to the ALLL or that may even exceed the ALLL.

The ALLL ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$6.1 million~~$393 thousand from ~~September 30, 2019~~March 31, 2020 to ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 primarily as a result of charge-offs exceeding recoveries ~~an increase~~and decreases in classified and nonperforming loans ~~and qualitative factor increases related to COVID~~ during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. The reserve for loan losses may include an unallocated amount based upon our judgment as to possible credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio that may not have been captured by historical loss experience, qualitative factors, or specific evaluations of impaired loans. Unallocated reserves may be adjusted for factors including, but not limited to, unexpected or unusual events, volatile market and economic conditions, effects of changes or seasoning in methodologies, regulatory guidance and recommendations, or other factors that may impact borrower operating conditions and loss expectations. Management’s judgment as to unallocated reserves is determined in the context of, but separate from, the historical loss trends and qualitative factors described above. The unallocated reserve for loan losses was zero at ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

We classify our loan portfolios using asset quality ratings. The credit quality table in Note 5, Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses above in Item 1, provides a summary of loans by portfolio type and asset quality ratings as of ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Loans totaled approximately ~~$1.28~~$1.24 billion at ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, an increase of ~~$152.6~~$20.5 million from ~~$1.13~~$1.22 billion at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The disaggregation of the loan portfolio by risk rating in the credit quality table located in Note 5 reflects the following changes that occurred between December 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~September 30, 2020:~~March 31, 2021:

•Loans rated “Pass” totaled $1.17 billion, an increase of ~~$104.4~~$57.9 million from ~~$1.06~~$1.11 billion at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the ~~$281~~$92.6 million of PPP loans funded during the first quarter in addition to upgrades from "Special Mention" of ~~$13.2~~$6.9 million, partially offset by downgrades to “Special Mention” and “Substandard” of ~~$49.6~~$1.0 million and ~~$39.7~~$2.5 million, respectively, and pay downs of principal payments.

•Loans rated “Special Mention” totaled $29.1 million, an increase of $839 thousand from $28.3 million at December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily the result of $49.6 million downgraded from “Pass",

The loans downgraded from the "Pass" rating had been rated "Watch", a rating within our "Pass" rating that receives more oversight and attention by management.

•Loans rated "Doubtful" totaled ~~$1.6 million~~$107 thousand at ~~September 30, 2020, an increase~~March 31, 2021, a decrease from ~~zero~~$641 thousand at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. This ~~increase~~decrease was the result of ~~$3.8 million downgraded from "Substandard",~~charge-offs of $525 thousand, partially offset by principal payments of ~~$2.0 million, and charge-offs of $290~~$9 thousand.

Our loss migration analysis currently utilizes a series of nineteen staggered 16-quarter migration periods. As a result, for purposes of determining applicable loss factors at ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, our migration analysis covered the period from ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2017 to ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. We believe this was consistent with and reasonably reflects current economic conditions, portfolio trends and the risks that were inherent in our loan portfolio at ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

The table below sets forth loan delinquencies, by quarter, for the five preceding quarters ended ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

Other Assets and Other Liabilities

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: a lease liability measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset a specified asset for the lease term. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer

than 12 months. The new standard had a material effect on our financial statements related to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our office operating leases.

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we did not recognize additional operating liabilities or corresponding ROU assets based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases. Refer to the Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies and Note 6, Leases above in Item 1 for further detail.

Liquidity

We actively manage our liquidity needs to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet our needs for cash, including to fund new loans and deposit withdrawals by our customers. We project the future sources and uses of funds and maintain liquid funds for unanticipated events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Our primary sources of cash include cash we have on deposit at other financial institutions, payments from borrowers on their loans, proceeds from sales or maturities of securities held for sale, sales of residential mortgage loans, increases in deposits and increases in borrowings principally from the FHLB. The primary uses of cash include funding new loans and making advances on existing lines of credit, purchasing investments, including securities available for sale, funding new residential mortgage loans, funding deposit withdrawals and paying operating expenses. We maintain funds in overnight Federal Funds sold and other short-term investments to provide for short-term liquidity needs. We also have obtained credit lines from the FHLB and other financial institutions to meet any additional liquidity requirements we might have. See “—Contractual Obligations—Borrowings” below for additional information related to our borrowings from the FHLB.

Our liquid assets, which included cash and due from banks, Federal Funds sold, interest earning deposits that we maintain with financial institutions and unpledged securities available for sale (excluding FRBSF and FHLB stock) totaled ~~$284.0~~$261.6 million, which represented ~~18%~~17% of total assets, at ~~September 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. We believe that our cash and cash equivalent resources, together with available borrowings under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet normal operating requirements for at least the next twelve months, including to enable us to meet any increase in deposit withdrawals that might occur in the foreseeable future. We believe that during this period of uncertain economic conditions related to COVID, our liquidity position is strong, and will be closely monitored as conditions change.

Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, operating activities provided net cash of ~~$4.4~~$1.3 million, primarily attributable to our net income of ~~$4.6~~$3.4 million, partially offset by $1.0 million of accretion of deferred fees on loans, and a ~~$9.1~~$1.0 million ~~noncash~~increase in accrued interest receivable. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, operating activities provided net cash of $2.3 million, primarily attributable to our a $6.2 million non-cash adjustment related to our provision for loan and lease losses, ~~and proceeds of $5.4 million from the sale of SBA loans,~~ partially offset by ~~$5.8~~a $1.7 million decrease in ~~SBA loan originations, accretion of~~other liabilities and $812 thousand increase to deferred fees on loans of $4.0 million, and a $1.6 million increase in accrued interest receivable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, operating activities provided net cash of $13.9 million, primarily attributable to our net income of $5.2 million and a $5.4 million noncash adjustment related to our provision for loan and lease losses.taxes.

Cash Flow Used In Investing Activities. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, investing activities used net cash of ~~$148.3~~$19.7 million, primarily attributable to a ~~$150.2~~$17.1 million increase in loans, and $10.1 million purchase of securities, offset by ~~$4.6~~$5.7 million in proceeds from the sale of securities and $1.8 million of cash provided from maturities of and principal payments on securities available for sale and other stock. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2019,~~March 31, 2020, investing activities provided net cash of ~~$67.9~~$17.2 million, primarily attributable to a ~~$76.0~~$18.5 million ~~decrease~~increase in loans, offset by ~~$7.1~~$1.4 million of cash provided from maturities of and principal payments on securities available for sale and other ~~stock and $1.1 million of cash provided from the sale of other real estate owned.~~stock.

Cash Flow ~~Provided by~~Used In Financing Activities. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2021, financing activities used net cash of $9.5 million, which was primarily a $10.0 million repayment of borrowings, partially offset by a $424 thousand decrease in our deposits. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, financing activities provided net cash of ~~$202.0~~$186.8 million ~~consisting~~which consisted of a ~~$208.0~~$96.7 million increase in our deposits ~~which was primarily the result~~and net proceeds of ~~PPP loans funded by the SBA, partially offset by net payments of $6.0~~$90 million in borrowings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, financing activities provided net cash of $77.2 million which consisted of a $77.1 million increase in our deposits, which was primarily the result of new client acquisition.

Ratio of Loans to Deposits. The relationship between gross loans and total deposits can provide a useful measure of a bank’s liquidity. Since repayment of loans tends to be less predictable than the maturity of investments and other liquid resources, the higher the loan-to-deposit ratio the less liquid are our assets. On the other hand, since we realize greater yields on loans than we do on investments, a lower loan-to-deposit ratio can adversely affect interest income and earnings. As a result, our goal is to achieve a loan-to-deposit ratio that appropriately balances the requirements of liquidity and the need to generate a fair return on our assets. At ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the loan-to-deposit ratio was ~~91%~~90% and ~~94%~~88%, respectively.

As the above table indicates, at ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) qualified as a “well-capitalized” institution under federally mandated capital standards and federally established prompt corrective action regulations. Since ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, there have been no events or circumstances known to us which have changed or which are expected to result in a change in the Bank’s classifications as a well-capitalized institution.

In early July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC issued final rules implementing the Basel III regulatory capital framework and related Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act changes. The rules revise minimum capital requirements and adjust prompt corrective action thresholds. The final rules revise the regulatory capital elements, add a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio, increase the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio requirement, and implement a new capital conservation buffer. The rules also permit certain banking organizations to retain, through a one-time election, the existing treatment for accumulated other comprehensive income. The final rules took effect for community banks on January 1, 2015, subject to a transition period for certain parts of the rules. At ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) continued to qualify as a well-capitalized institution under the capital adequacy guidelines described above.

Dividend Policy and Share Repurchase Programs

6157

Table of Contents

It is, and since the beginning of 2009 it has been, the policy of the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank to preserve cash to enhance our capital positions and the Bank’s liquidity. In addition, we have agreed that the Bank will not, without the FRB and the CDFPI’s prior written approval, pay any dividends to Bancorp. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay dividends or make share repurchases for the foreseeable future.

The principal source of cash available to a bank holding company consists of cash dividends from its bank subsidiaries. There are currently several restrictions on the Bank’s ability to pay us cash dividends. Government regulations, including the laws of the State of California, as they pertain to the payment of cash dividends by California state-chartered banks, limits the amount of funds that the Bank is permitted to dividend to us. Further, Section 23(a) of the Federal Reserve Act limits the amounts that a bank may loan to its bank holding company to an aggregate of no more than 10% of the bank subsidiary’s capital surplus and retained earnings and requires that such loans be secured by specified assets of the bank holding company. We have committed to obtaining approval from the FRB and the CDFPI prior to Bancorp paying any dividends, or making any distributions representing interest, principal or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities. There can be no assurance that our regulators will approve such payments or dividends in the future. Refer to “Supervision and Regulation” in Item 1 of our ~~2019~~2020 Form 10-K and Note ~~14,~~15, Shareholders’ Equity in the notes to our consolidated financial statements on our ~~2019~~2020 Form 10-K for more detail regarding the regulatory restrictions on our and the Bank’s ability to pay dividends. In addition, we currently have sufficient cash on hand to meet our cash obligations. As a result, we do not expect that these restrictions will impact our ability to meet our cash obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Loan Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit. To meet the financing needs of our customers in the normal course of business, we are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. At ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we were committed to fund certain loans including letters of credit amounting to approximately ~~$336~~$341 million and ~~$316~~$347 million, respectively.

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and the customer may be required to pay a fee and meet other conditions in order to draw on those commitments or standby letters of credit. We expect, based on historical experience, that many of the commitments will expire without being drawn upon and, therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

To varying degrees, commitments to extend credit involve elements of credit and interest rate risk for us that are in excess of the amounts recognized in our balance sheets. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customers to whom such commitments are made could potentially be equal to the amount of those commitments. As a result, before making such a commitment to a customer, we evaluate the customer’s creditworthiness using the same underwriting standards that we would apply if we were approving loans to the customer. In addition, we often require the customer to secure its payment obligations for amounts drawn on such commitments with collateral such as accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, income-producing commercial properties, residential properties and properties under construction. As a consequence, our exposure to credit and interest rate risk on such commitments is not different in character or amount than risks inherent in the outstanding loans in our loan portfolio.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee a payment obligation of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to customers.

The highest amount of borrowings outstanding at any month end in ~~2019~~2020 consisted of ~~$55.0~~$124.0 million of borrowings from the FHLB. At ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, commercial and consumer loans of ~~$178~~$130 million and ~~$210~~$146 million, respectively, were pledged to secure borrowings from the FRB to support our unfunded borrowing capacity of ~~$144~~$94 million and ~~$146~~$106 million, respectively.

Junior Subordinated Debentures. Pursuant to rulings of the Federal Reserve Board, bank holding companies were permitted to issue long term subordinated debt instruments that, subject to certain conditions, would qualify as and, therefore, augment capital for regulatory purposes. At ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had outstanding approximately $17.5 million principal amount of Debentures, of which $17.0 million would qualify as additional Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes as of ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 if we were to surpass the reporting threshold of $3 billion in total assets.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and general practices in the banking industry. Certain of those accounting policies are considered critical accounting policies, because they require us to make assumptions and judgments regarding circumstances or trends that could affect the carrying value of our material assets, such as, for example, assumptions regarding economic conditions or trends that could impact our ability to fully collect our loans or ultimately realize the carrying value of certain of our other assets, such as securities available for sale and our deferred tax asset. Those assumptions and judgments are based on current information available to us regarding those economic conditions or trends or other circumstances. If adverse changes were to occur in the conditions, trends or other events on which our assumptions or judgments had been based, then under GAAP it could become necessary for us to reduce the carrying values of any affected assets on our balance sheet. In addition, because reductions in the carrying value of assets are sometimes effectuated by or require charges to income, such reductions also may have the effect of reducing our income.

There have been no significant changes during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Critical Accounting Policies within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our ~~2019~~2020 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As ~~an accelerated~~a non-accelerated filer subject to the smaller reporting company disclosure requirements we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC rules, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness, as of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of ~~September 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to legal actions that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Currently, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries is a party to, and none of our or our subsidiaries’ property is the subject of, any material legal proceeding.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

~~The following~~There have been no material changes in our assessment of our risk factors ~~supplement, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.~~

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has adversely impacted certain industries in which our customers operate and impaired their ability to fulfill their obligations to us. Further, the spread of the outbreak has caused and may continue to cause severe disruptions in the U.S. economy, disrupting banking and other financial activity in the areas in which we operate, and could potentially create widespread business continuity issues for us.

Our business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of our employees and customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. The spread of COVID-19 has caused and may continue to cause severe disruptions in the U.S. economy at large, and for small businesses in particular, and has resulted and may continue to result in disruptions to our customers’ businesses, and a decrease in consumer confidence and business generally. Disruptions to our customers may continue to result in increased risk of delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and losses on our loans, declines in revenues, negatively impact regional economic conditions, result in declines in local loan demand, liquidity of loan guarantors, loan collateral (particularly in real estate), loan originations and deposit availability and negatively impact the implementation of our growth strategy.

We rely upon our third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record, and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide us with these services, it could negatively impact our ability to serve our customers. Furthermore, the outbreak could negatively impact the ability of our employees and customers to engage in banking and other financial transactions in the geographic areas in which we operate and could create widespread business continuity issues for us. We also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to the effects and restrictions of a COVID-19 outbreakfrom those set forth in our ~~market areas. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will be effective.~~

The extent of impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and other events beyond our control will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken to contain the COVID-19 or its impact, among others.

Our participation in the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) exposes us to risks related to noncompliance with the PPP, as well as litigation risk related to our administration of the PPP loan program, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are a participating lender in the PPP, a loan program administered through the SBA, that was created to help eligible businesses, organizations and self-employed persons fund their operational costs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this program, the SBA guarantees 100% of the amounts loaned under the PPP. The PPP opened on April 3, 2020; however, because of the short window between the passing of the CARES Act and the opening of the PPP, there is some ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP, which exposes us to risks relating to noncompliance with the PPP. For instance, other financial institutions have experienced litigation related to their process and procedures used in processing applications for the PPP. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may be exposed to credit risk on PPP loans if a determination is made by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or serviced. If a deficiency is identified, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency from us.
