FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Critical Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Naturenature of business - First Northwest Bancorp, a Washington corporation ("First Northwest"), became the holding company of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port AngelesFed Bank ("First Fed" or the "Bank") on January 29, 2015, upon completion of the Bank's conversion from a mutual to stock form of organization (the "Conversion").In April 2021, First Northwest entered into an Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement (the "Joint Venture Agreement") with the Bank, POM Peace of Mind, Inc. ("POM"), and Quin Ventures, Inc. ("Quin" or "Quin Ventures"). First Northwest, the Bank, and Quin Ventures are collectively referred to as the "Company."

 

In connection with the Conversion, the Company issued an aggregate of 12,167,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of $121.7 million. An additional 933,360 shares of Company common stock and $400,000 in cash were contributed to the First Federal Community Foundation ("Foundation"), a charitable foundation that was established in connection with the Conversion, resulting in the issuance of a total of 13,100,360 shares. The Company received $117.6 million in net proceeds from the stock offering of which $58.4 million were contributed to the Bank upon Conversion.

 

Pursuant to the Bank's Plan of Conversion (the "Plan") adopted by its Board of Directors, and as approved by its members, the Company established an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP"). On December 18, 2015, the ESOP completed its open market purchases, with funds borrowed from the Company, of 8% of the common stock issued in the Conversion for a total of 1,048,029 shares.

 

In April 2021, First Northwest entered into an Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement (the "Joint Venture Agreement") with the Bank, POM Peace of Mind, Inc. ("POM"), and Quin Ventures, Inc. ("Quin" or "Quin Ventures"). First Northwest has partially fulfilled its commitment to extend $15.0 million to Quin Ventures under a capital financing agreement and related promissory note and issued 29,719 shares of the Company's common stock to POM with a value of approximately $500,000.

On October 31, 2021, the Bank converted from a State Savings Bank Charter to a State Commercial Bank Charter and was simultaneously renamed First Fed Bank from First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles.

First Northwest, the Bank, and Quin Ventures are collectively referred to as the "Company."

 

First Northwest's business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investments in First Fed and Quin Ventures. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including the consolidated unaudited financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank.Bank for balance sheet related disclosures and the Bank and Quin Ventures for income statement related disclosures.

 

The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution providing commercial and consumer banking services to individuals and businesses in Westernwestern Washington State with offices in Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, King, and Whatcom counties. These services include deposit and lending transactions that are supplemented with borrowing and investing activities.

 

Basis of presentation - The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods.

 

In preparing the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to a determination of the allowance for loan losses ("ALLL"), fair value of financial instruments, and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Northwest; its wholly owned subsidiary, First Fed, and its controlling interest in Quin Ventures, Inc. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. While First Northwest and POM share equal ownership in Quin Ventures, it has been determined that First Northwest has a controlling interest for financial reporting purposes under Accounting Standards Codification  810. The Quin Ventures net loss allocable to POM is shown on the financial statements where applicable through a noncontrolling interest adjustment.

Subsequent Eventsevents - The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure and has included additional information where appropriate. See Note 10 for additional information.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In November 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-10, which defers the effective date of the current expected credit loss model (CECL) guidance issued in ASUs 2016-13, 2019-04, and 2019-05. The effective date for smaller reporting companies was changed 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. The Company adopted this ASU and anticipates implementing CECL effective January 1, 2023.

(Unaudited)

In December 2019,January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 20192021-12,01, Income TaxesReference Rate Reform (Topic 740848): Simplifying the Accounting for Income TaxesScope. ASU 2019No.2021-1201 simplifies various aspects relatedclarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in ASC 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to accounting for income taxesderivatives that are affected by removing certainthe discounting transition.

The standard also clarifiesincremental consequences of the scope clarification and amendsto tailor the existing guidance to improve consistent application.derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. This ASU which iswas effective for fiscal years beginning afterupon issuance and generally can be applied through December 15, 2020,31, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2021- 01did not have a material impact on the Company'sCompany’s financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No.2020-01,Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. ASU 2020-01 clarifies the interaction between accounting standards related to equity securities, equity method investments, and certain derivatives including accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and measuring certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. The ASU, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

 

Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Loss, which updates the guidance on recognition and measurement of credit losses for financial assets. The new requirements, known as the current expected credit loss model (CECL) will require entities to adopt an impairment model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, the Company will change processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loancredit losses, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. In addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities available for sale will be replaced with an allowance approach.

 

Additional updates were issued in ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 825), Financial Instruments. This ASU clarifies and improves guidance related to the previously issued standards on credit losses, hedging and recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The amendments provide entities with various measurement alternatives and policy elections related to accounting for credit losses and accrued interest receivable balances. Entities are also able to elect a practical expedient to separately disclose the total amount of accrued interest included in the amortized cost basis as a single balance to meet certain disclosure requirements. The amendments clarify that the estimated allowance for credit losses should include all expected recoveries of financial assets and trade receivables that were previously written off and expected to be written off. The amendments also allow entities to use projections of future interest rate environments when using a discounted cash flow method to measure expected credit losses on variable-rate financial instruments.

 

In addition, new updates were issued through ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. This amendment allows entities to elect the fair value option on certain financial instruments. On adoption, an entity is allowed to irrevocably elect the fair value option on an instrument-by-instrument basis. This alternative is available for all instruments in the scope of Subtopic 326-20 except for existing held-to-maturity debt securities. If an entity elects the fair value option, the difference between the instrument’s fair value and carrying amount is recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment.


The Company is evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13, ASU No. 2019-04 and ASU No. 2019-05, and will closely monitor developments and additional guidance to determine the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact the implementation of these ASUs will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company's internal project management team continues to review models, work with our third-party vendor, and discuss changes to processes and procedures to ensure the Company is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date, which is anticipated to be January 1, 2023. As of June 30, 2022, the Bank has been running a parallel analysis comparing actual ALLL results to potential CECL results. Initial results indicate a modest increase to the reserve; however, the modeling effort is ongoing with final decisions regarding valuation criteria for each segment yet to be made.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No.2022-01,Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method. ASU 2022-01 expands the portfolio layer method of hedge accounting prescribed in ASU No.2017-12 to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio and to include portfolios of both prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets. This scope expansion is consistent with the FASB’s efforts to simplify hedge accounting and allows entities to apply the same accounting method to similar hedging strategies. The ASU also specifies eligible hedging instruments in a single-layer hedge, provides additional guidance on accounting and disclosure of hedge basis adjustments and specifies how hedge basis adjustments should be considered in determining credit losses for assets in the designated closed portfolio. This ASU is effective for public business entities for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2022-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No.2022-02,Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") in ASC 310-40, "Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors" for entities that have adopted the current expected credit loss model introduced by ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. ASU 2022-02 also requires that public business entities disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost". ASU 2022-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2022-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No.2022-03,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security should not be considered in measuring fair value, nor should the contractual restriction be recognized and measured separately. Further, this ASU requires disclosure of the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions reflected in the balance sheet, the nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s), and the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s). ASU 2022-03 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2022-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Reclassifications - Certain amounts in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current unaudited financial statement presentation with no effect on net income or shareholders' equity.

The Company may hold certain investment securities in an unrealized loss position that are not considered other than temporarily impaired ("OTTI"). At June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021, there were 41179 and 3676 investment securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively.

 

We believe that the unrealized losses on our investment securities relate principally to the general change in interest rates, market demand, and related volatility rather than credit quality, that has occurred since the initial purchase, and such unrecognized losses or gains will continue to vary with general interest rate level and market fluctuations in the future. We do not believe the unrealized losses on our securities are related to deterioration in credit quality. Certain investments in a loss position are guaranteed by government entities or government sponsored entities. The Company does not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position and believes that it is not likely itunlikely that we will be required to sell these investments prior to a market price recovery or maturity.

 

There were 0 OTTI losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021.

Impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when the Bank has determined that it may be unable to collect payments of principal or interest when due under the contractual terms of the loan. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for all loans in the portfolio except smaller balance homogeneous loans and certain qualifying troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") loans.

Credit quality indicator. Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities, as substandard, doubtful, or loss; risk ratings 6, 7, and 8 in our 8-point risk rating system, respectively. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paypaying capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

 

When the Bank classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish a specific allowance to address the risk specifically or allow the loss to be addressed in the general allowance. General allowances represent loss allowances that have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities but that, unlike specific allowances, have not been specifically allocated to certain problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as a loss, it is required to charge off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Assets that do not currently expose the Bank to enough risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but do possess identified weaknesses are designated as either watch or special mention assets; risk ratings 4 and 5 in our risk rating system, respectively. Loans not otherwise classified are considered pass graded loans and are rated 1-3 in our risk rating system.

 

Additionally, the Bank categorizes loans as performing or nonperforming based on payment activity. Loans that are more than 90 days past due and nonaccrual loans are considered nonperforming.

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Troubled debt restructuring. A TDR is a loan to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty that has been modified from its original terms and conditions in such a way that the Bank is granting the borrower a concession of some kind. First Fed has granted a variety of concessions to borrowers in the form of loan modifications. The modifications are generally related to the loan's interest rate, term and payment amount or a combination thereof.

 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 signed into law on March 27, 2020 ("CARES Act"), provided guidance around the modification of loans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which outlined, among other criteria, that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined under the CARES Act prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term (i.e., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers are considered current under the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance if they are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. This relief was extended under the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021, to the earlier of 60 days after the COVID-19 pandemic national emergency termination date or January 1, 2022. Through June 30, 2021, the Company had granted COVID-19 pandemic related temporary loan modifications on a total of 357 loans aggregating to $175.0 million, or 13.9% of total loans. Loan modifications in accordance with the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance are still subject to an evaluation in regard to determining whether or not a loan is deemed to be impaired. As of June 30, 2021, only 2 commercial real estate loans totaling $7.1 million remained on deferral.

Note 5 - Borrowings

First Fed is a member of the FHLB. As a member, First Fed has a committed line of credit of up to 40% of total assets, subject to the amount of FHLB stock ownership and certain collateral requirements.

First Fed maintains borrowing arrangements with the FHLB to borrow funds primarily under long-term, fixed-rate advance agreements. First Fed also has overnight borrowings through FHLB which renew daily until paid. First Fed periodically uses fixed-rate advances maturing in less than one year as an alternative source of funds. All borrowings are secured by collateral consisting of single-family, home equity, commercial real estate, and multi-family loans receivable in the amounts of $648.1 million and $699.6 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

First Fed also has an established borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Board of San Francisco ("FRB") to utilize the discount window for short-term borrowing. Available borrowing capacity was $8.7 million and $17.3 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. NaN funds have been borrowed to date. Investment securities with a carrying value of $9.3 million and $17.2 million were pledged to the FRB at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

On March 25, 2021, the Company completed a private placement of $40.0 million of 3.75% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) to certain qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes were approximately $39.3 million after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The Notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Company for regulatory capital purposes. The Company used the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes and provided $20.0 million to the Bank as Tier 1 capital.

On May 20, 2022, First Northwest entered into a borrowing arrangement with NexBank for a $20.0 million revolving line of credit. Borrowings are secured by a blanket lien on First Northwest's personal property assets (with certain exclusions), including all the outstanding shares of First Fed, cash, loans receivable, and limited partnership investments. The line of credit matures on May 19, 2023.

The following table sets forth information regarding our borrowings at the end of and during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The table includes both long- and short-term borrowings.

Note 56 - Federal Taxes on Income

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. These calculations are based on many complex factors including estimates of the timing of reversals of temporary differences, the interpretation of federal income tax laws, and a determination of the differences between the tax and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

 

The effective tax rates were 16.0%20.2% and 18.9%16.0% for the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory maximum federal tax rate for 20212022 and 20202021 of 21%, largely due to the nontaxable earnings on bank ownedbank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") and tax-exempt interest income earned on certain investment securities and loans. Additionally, a cumulative adjustmenttax accrual true-up was recorded in the first quarter of 2021.2021, which reduced the prior year provision and resulted in a lower effective tax rate. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company began accruing a provision for income tax for certain states in which we have employees and collateral for loans, thereby creating a nexus in those states for income tax purposes. The additional accrual for state income tax results in a higher effective tax rate.

Note 67 - Earnings per Common Share

 

BasicThe two-class method is used for computing basic and diluted earnings per shareshare. Under the two-class method, EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstandingdetermined for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuanceeach class of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. In addition, nonvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rightsand participating security according to dividends or dividend equivalents are considereddeclared and participating securities and are includedrights in the computation of earnings per share.undistributed earnings.

Note 78 - Employee Benefits

 

Change from Multi-employer to Single-employer Pension Plan

Effective March 23, 2021, the Company withdrew from the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions ("Pentegra DB Plan") and established the First Federal Defined Benefit Plan ("Bank DB Plan"), a single-employer plan. On March 23, 2021, all assets and liabilities were transferred from the Pentegra DB Plan to the newly established Bank DB Plan.

The Bank DB Plan is a defined benefit pension plan covering current and former employees. Benefits available under the plan are frozen. The plan provides defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary prior to the freeze. The Company uses December 31 as the measurement date for this plan. The initial measurement period will be March 23, 2021 – December 31, 2021.

The fair value of plan assets and projected benefit obligation on the March 23, 2021, Bank DB Plan adoption date were $14,705,000 and $14,197,000, respectively. A $2,717,599 cash contribution was made to the Pentegra DB Plan in March 2021 prior to the transition. A prior service cost of $1.7 million, net of tax, was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2021. The prior service cost is expected to be amortized over 15 years.

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine pension benefit obligations at year-end include a 2.95% discount rate and a 0% rate of compensation increase. The weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost include 2.95% discount rate, 5.75% expected return on plan assets and a 0% rate of compensation increase. The 5.75% weighted average expected long-term rate of return is estimated based on current trends in similar plan assets, as well as projected future rates of returns on similar assets.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

In connection with the Conversion, the Company established an ESOP for eligible employees of the Company and the Bank. Employees of the Company and the Bank who have been credited with at least 1,000 hours of service during a 12-month period are eligible to participate in the ESOP.

 

Pursuant to the Plan, the ESOP purchased shares in the open market with funds borrowed from First Northwest. The Bank will make contributions to the ESOP in amounts necessary to amortize the ESOP loan payable to First Northwest over a period of 20 years, bearing estimated interest at 2.46%. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Bank's discretionary contributions to the ESOP and earnings on the ESOP assets. $835,000A principal orand interest payment of $835,000 was made by the ESOP during the six months ended June 30, 20212022.

As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the average daily market prices of the shares and the shares become outstanding for EPS computations. The compensation expense is accrued monthly throughout the year. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest.

 

Compensation expense related to the ESOP for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, was $245,000 and $227,000, respectively. Compensation expense related to the ESOP for the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021, was $444,000$536,000 and $260,000,$444,000, respectively.

Note 910 - Fair Value Accounting and Measurement

 

Fair value is the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the Company’s principal market. The Company has established and documented its process for determining the fair values of its assets and liabilities, where applicable. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available, for identical or similar assets or liabilities. In the absence of quoted market prices, management determines the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities using valuation models or third-party pricing services, both of which rely on market-based parameters when available, such as interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and credit spreads, or unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs may be based on management’s judgment, assumptions, and estimates related to credit quality, liquidity, interest rates, and other relevant inputs.

 

Any changes to valuation methodologies are reviewed by management to ensure they are relevant and justified. Valuation methodologies are refined as more market-based data becomes available.

 

A three-level valuation hierarchy is used in determining fair value that is based on the transparency of the inputs used in the valuation process. The inputs used in determining fair value in each of the three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Either: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; (ii) observable inputs, such as interest rates or yield curves; or (iii) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs.

 

The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to Level 1 inputs and the lowest ranking to Level 3 inputs. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

The Company used the following methods to measure fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis.

Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques -Securities available for sale:sale and Equity investments: where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified as Level 1. Level 1 instruments include highly liquid government bonds, securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, and exchange-traded equity securities.

If quoted prices are not available, management determines fair value using pricing models, quoted prices of similar securities, which are considered Level 2, or discounted cash flows. In certain cases, where there is limited activity in the market for an instrument, assumptions must be made to determine their fair value. Such instruments are classified as Level 3.

 

Sold loan servicing rights, at fair value: The fair value of sold loan servicing rights is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis, which uses interest rates, prepayment speeds, discount rates, and delinquency rate assumptions as inputs. Servicing rights are classified as Level 3 due to reliance on assumptions used in the valuation.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis - Assets are considered to be valued on a nonrecurring basis if the fair value measurement of the instrument does not necessarily result in a change in the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Generally, nonrecurring valuation is the result of the application of other accounting pronouncements that require assets or liabilities to be assessed for impairment or recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities other than investment securities are not traded in active markets. Estimated fair values require subjective judgments and are approximate. The estimates of fair value in the previous table are not necessarily representative of amounts that could be realized in actual market transactions, or of the underlying value of the Company. The methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments as set forth below in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, as amended by ASU 2016-01 requiring public entities to use the exit price notion effective January 1, 2018, are as follows:

 

Securities - Fair values for investment securities are primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. The pricing service uses pricing models based on market data. In the event that limited or less transparent information is provided by the third-party pricing service, fair value is estimated using secondary pricing services or non-binding third-party broker quotes.

Loans receivable, net - At June 30, 20212022, the fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate at which similar loans and leases would be made to borrowers with similar credit and for the same remaining maturities. Additionally, to be consistent with the requirements under FASB ASC Topic 820 for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the loans were valued at a price that represents the Company’s exit price or the price at which these instruments would be sold or transferred.

 

Mortgage servicing rights, net - The estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts when available. If no comparable contract is available, the estimated fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NoteNote 1112- Subsequent EventBusiness Combination

 

On July 23, 2021, the Bank completed the purchaseacquired certain assets and assumed liabilities of the Bellevue, Washington branch from Sterling Bank and Trust of Southfield, Michigan ("Sterling"). The purchase added $65.4 upon purchasing their sole branch located in Washington State. As a result of the Sterling transaction, the Bank has established a presence in Bellevue, Washington, and expanded its deposit base. Total consideration paid under the Sterling transaction consisted of $63.5 million in deposit accountscash. There were no transfers of common stock or other equity instruments in connection with the transaction, and $459,000the Bank did not obtain any equity interests in fixed assets. Sterling.

The Bank also acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded in the leaseCompany's consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair value as of the July 23, 2021, transaction date. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill arising from the transaction consists largely of a premium paid for the branch location and welcomed the former Sterling retail staff as First Fed employees. The acquisition method of accounting for business combinations was used to record the transaction.deposit accounts.

 

In most instances, determining the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities required the Bank to estimate cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at the appropriate rate of interest. Differences may arise between contractually required payments and the expected cash flows at the acquisition date due to items such as prepayments or early withdrawals, and other factors. Goodwill is expected to be fully deductible for income tax purposes as, under the terms of the transaction, the Bank purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Sterling but did not acquire any equity or other ownership interests.

The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration transferred, the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, and the resulting goodwill relating to the transaction (in thousands):

CDI represents the value assigned to demand, interest checking, money market and savings accounts acquired as part of an acquisition. CDI represents the future economic benefit of the potential cost savings from acquiring core deposits as part of an acquisition compared to the cost of alternative funding sources. CDI is amortized to non-interest expense using an accelerated method based on an estimated runoff of related deposits over a period of ten years. CDI is evaluated for impairment and recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable, with any changes in estimated useful life accounted for prospectively over the revised remaining life.

These developments could have an adverse impact on our financial position and our results of operations.

 

Any of the forward-looking statements that we make in this report and in other statements we make may turn out to be wrong because of inaccurate assumptions we might make, because of the factors illustrated above or because of other factors that we cannot anticipate or predict. Any forward-looking statements are based upon management’s beliefs and assumptions at the time they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this document or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Due to these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements discussed in this report might not occur, and you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

In addition, First Northwest has invested in Meriwether Group Capital Hero Fund LP, a way to provide cost effective liquidity and manage interest rate risk.private commercial lender focused on lower-middle market businesses, primarily in the Pacific Northwest.

 

First Northwest is affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. Deposit flows are influenced by several factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, alternative investment options available to our customers, account maturities, the number and quality of our deposit originators, digital delivery systems, branding and customer acquisition, and the overall level of personal income and savings in the markets where we do business. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, our credit policies, the number and quality of our lenders and credit underwriters, digital delivery systems, branding and customer acquisition, and regional economic cycles.

 

Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on our loans and investments and interest expense paid on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates and cash flows from existing assets and liabilities affect our net interest income. A secondary source of income is noninterest income, which includes revenue we receive from providing products and services, including service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage banking income, loan sales and servicing income, interest rate swap fee income, earnings from bank-owned life insurance, investment services income, and gains and losses from sales of securities.

 

An offset to net interest income is the provision for loan losses, which represents the periodic charge to operations that is required to adequately provide for losses inherent in our loan portfolio through our allowance for loan losses.ALLL. A recapture of previously recognized provision for loan losses may be added to net income as credit metrics improve, such as a loan's risk rating, increased property values, improvements in the economic environment, or receipt of recoveries of amounts previously charged off.

 

Noninterest expenses we incur in operating our business consist of salaries and employee benefit costs, occupancy and equipment expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments, data processing expenses, marketing and customer acquisition expenses, professional fees, expenses related to real estate and personal property owned, and other expenses.

Recent Developments. On March 22, 2021, the Company announced that First Fed had entered into an agreement with Sterling Bank and Trust of Southfield, Michigan ("Sterling") to purchase its Bellevue, Washington branch, subject to applicable regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The purchase was finalized on July 23, 2021 and included $65.4 million in deposits and a small amount of fixed assets. The Bank also assumed the lease for the branch location and welcomed the former Sterling retail staff as First Fed employees.

 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictive measures taken by governments, businesses and individuals caused unprecedented uncertainty, volatility and disruption in financial markets and in governmental, commercial and consumer activity in the United States and globally, including the markets that we serve. As initial restrictive measures were eased during 2020 and into 2021, the U.S. economy started to recover and, with the availability and distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine, weWe anticipate continued improvements in commercial and consumer activity and the U.S. economy. As of June 30, 2021, the governor of Washington removedeconomy as COVID-related restrictions initially set in place, allowing businessescontinue to return to full capacity.be removed.

 

We recognize that our business and consumer customers are experiencingexperience varying degrees of financial distress, which is expected tomay continue through the remainder of 2021, especially if2022, as new COVID-19 variant infections increase, andtogether with the potential for new restrictions are mandated. Commercialmandatory restrictions. If commercial activity has improved but has not returned to the levels existing prior to the outbreak of the pandemic, whichslows, it may result in our customers’ inability to meet their loan obligations to us. In addition, the economic pressures and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting supply chain issues have resulted in changes in consumer spending behaviors, which may negatively impact the demand for loans and other services we offer. Our borrowing base includes customers in industries such as hospitality;hospitality, restaurant and food services;services, and lessors of commercial real estate to hospitality, restaurant, and retail establishments, all of which have beenwere significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. At June 30, 2021,2022, the Company’s exposure as a percent of the total loan portfolio to these industries was 4.2% 3.1%, 0.2%0.3%, and 4.2%3.8%, respectively. We recognize that these industries may take longer to recover as consumers may be hesitant to return to full social interaction or may change their spending habits on a more permanent basis as a result of the pandemic.respectively. We continue to monitor these customers closely.

 

We have taken deliberate actions to ensure that we have the balance sheet strength to serve our clients and communities, including increases in liquidity and managing our assets and liabilities in order to maintain a strong capital position; however, future economic conditions are subject to significant uncertainty. Uncertainties associated with the pandemic include the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and any related variant infections, the availability and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, and the impact on our customers, employees, vendors and the economy. While uncertainty still exists, we believe we are well-positioned to operate effectively through the present economic environment.

 

We continue to provide banking and financial services to our customers, with drive-thru access available at all our branch locations and in-person services available to walk-in customers or by appointment. Our branch locations are currently open and operating, having returned to normal business hours at the beginning of May 2021. In addition, we continue to provide access to banking and financial services through online banking, Interactive Teller Machines ("ITMs"), Automated Teller Machines ("ATMs"), and by telephone. We continue to take additional precautions within all our locations, including providing personal protection equipment and enhanced cleaning procedures, to ensure the safety of our customers and our employees.

We provided assistance to many small businesses applying for the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") funding. As of June 30, 2021, we processed $34.8 million of loans for 422 customers through the current round of SBA PPP funding with an average loan amount of $83,000. We processed $32.2 million of loans for 515 customers through the initial round of SBA PPP funding during 2020 with an average loan amount of $63,000. We processed $35.0 million of loans for 427 customers during the second round of SBA PPP funding with an average loan amount of $82,000. Payments by borrowers on these loans can be deferred up to sixteensix months after the note date the loan forgiveness application is processed, and interest, at 1%, will continue to accrue during the deferment period. Loans can be forgiven in whole or part (up to full principal and any accrued interest). We partnered with a third-party financial technology provider to assist our borrowers with the loan forgiveness application process. As of June 30, 2021, $21.52022, $32.2 million, or 66.9%100.0%, of the first-round loans were forgiven and $221,000,$32.7 million, or 0.6%93.4%, of second-round loans were forgiven.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Effective January 1, 2022, the Bank elected to measure servicing rights using the fair value method of accounting. We record servicing rights on loans originated and subsequently sold into the secondary market. We stratify our capitalized servicing rights based on the type, term and interest rates of the underlying loans. Servicing rights are measured at fair value at each reporting date with the change reported in earnings. The value is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis, which uses interest rates, prepayment speeds and delinquency rate assumptions as inputs. All of these assumptions require a significant degree of management judgment. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, the value of our mortgage servicing rights could be negatively affected.

There arewere no other material changes to the critical accounting policies asfrom those disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

The Company purchased an additional $34.5$31.6 million in auto loans and $13.9$24.0 million in manufactured home loans during the six months ended June 30, 2021.2022. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire assets through wholesale channels in order to supplement our organic originations and increase net interest income.

 

Our allowance for loan lossesALLL increased $741,000, or 5.4%, to $14.6$15.8 million at June 30, 2021, from $13.8 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was due to2022, as a $500,000 loan loss provision of $800,000, offset by net charge-offs of $59,000was recorded for the six-month period. Net recoveries were $123,000 for the six-month period. The loan loss provision is made to account for growth in the loan portfolio, adjusted for qualitative factors. We continue to monitor the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is includedreflected in the qualitative factor adjustments. The allowance for loan lossesALLL as a percentage of total loans was 1.1% at both June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020 was 1.2%.2021.

 

Nonperforming loans decreased $489,000,$140,000, or 21.5%10.1%, to $1.8$1.2 million at June 30, 2021,2022, from $2.3$1.4 million at December 31, 2020, mainly attributable to2021, reflecting improvements in nonperforming one- to four-family loans of $128,000, multi-family loans of $284,000, commercial real estate loans of $74,000 and auto and other consumer loans of $18,000.$230,000, home equity loans of $31,000 and commercial real estate loans of $11,000, offset by a deterioration in one- to four-family loans of $132,000. Nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.1% at both June 30, 20212022 and 0.2% at December 31, 2020.2021. The allowance for loan lossesALLL as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased to 817.7%1269% at June 30, 2021,2022, from 609.2%1095% at December 31, 2020.2021.

 

At June 30, 2021,2022, there were $2.0$1.8 million in restructured loans, of which $1.8$1.76 million were performing in accordance with their modified payment terms and returned to accrual status.are accruing loans. Classified loans increased $5.8$1.2 million to $13.3$13.8 million at June 30, 2021,2022, from $7.5$12.6 million at December 31, 2020,2021, due to the addition of onean improvement in commercial real estate loan that was downgraded during the period.offset by declines in in two construction relationships.

 

Net loanLoan charge-offs are concentrated mainly in our indirect auto loan portfolio. We stopped originating loans from one of our indirect auto loan product offerings in 2020 in order to reduce credit risk and future charge-off activity. We continue to monitor the program in order to prudently manage risk within the portfolio. The balance of indirect auto loans decreased to $15.1$7.1 million at June 30, 20212022 from $20.5$10.6 million at December 31, 2020.2021. We believe our allowance for loan lossesALLL is adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks of loss in the overall loan portfolio as of June 30, 2021.2022.

Investment securities increased $6.2$8.9 million, or 1.7%2.6%, to $370.5$353.1 million at June 30, 2021,2022, from $364.3$344.2 million at December 31, 2020,2021, due to the purchase of securities, partially offset by sales, normal payments and prepayment activity. Other investment securities, including municipal bonds and other asset-backed securities, were $239.6 million at June 30, 2021, or 64.7% of the total investment securities portfolio, a decrease of $35.4 million from $275.0 million at December 31, 2020. Mortgage-backed securities totaled $130.9 million at June 30, 2021, or 35.3% of the investment securities portfolio, an increase during the year of $41.6 million, or 46.6%, from $89.3 million at December 31, 2020. The investment portfolio, including mortgage-backed securities, had an estimated projected average life of 7.38.2 years as of June 30, 2021, and2022, compared to 5.7 years as of December 31, 2020,2021, and had an estimated average repricing term of 6.67.6 years as of June 30, 2021, and 5.02022, compared to 5.4 years as of December 31, 2020,2021, based on the interest rate environment at those times. We believe prepayment activity is likely to slow in a rising rate environment, extending the projected duration of our securities portfolio.

 

The investment portfolio was composed of 45.0%48.0% in amortizing securities at June 30, 2021 and 48.0%2022, compared to 43.0% at December 31, 2020.2021. The projected average life of our securities may vary due to prepayment activity, which, particularly in the mortgage-backed securities portfolio, is impacted by prevailing mortgage interest rates. Management maintains a focus on enhancing the mix of earning assets by originating loans as a percentage of earning assets; however, we may continue to purchase investment securities as a source of additional interest income. Securities are sold to provide liquidity, improve long-term portfolio yields, reduce LIBOR risk, and manage duration in the portfolio.

Liabilities. Total liabilities increased to $1.6$1.87 billion at June 30, 2021,2022, from $1.47$1.73 billion at December 31, 2020,2021, primarily due to an increase in depositsborrowing of $108.2 million and the issuance of subordinated debt of $40.0 million in March 2021.$130.0 million.

 

Deposit balances increased 8.1%, to $1.44remained flat at $1.58 billion atfor both June 30, 2021, from $1.33 billion at2022 and December 31, 2020. There was2021.

We strategically increased noninterest-bearing and other core deposits to manage overall funding costs. In addition to collecting customer deposits, we utilize brokered certificates of deposit ("brokered CDs")CDs as an additional funding source in order to manage our cost of funds, reduce our reliance on public funds deposits, and allow flexibility when competing on retail rates. At June 30, 2021, we had $74.0manage interest rate risk.

The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes were approximately $39.3 million after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The Notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Company for regulatory capital purposes. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes and has provided $20.0 million to the Bank as Tier 1 capital.deposit growth.

Rate/Volume Analysis

 

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

 

In the normal course of operations, First Fed engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in the financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. For the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Liquidity Management

 

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term and long-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities, and borrowings from the FHLB. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are usually predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and borrowed funds, and prepayments on loans and investment securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition, which can cause those sources of funds to fluctuate.

 

Management regularly adjusts our investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of our interest-rate risk and investment policies.

 

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents followed by available for saleavailable-for-sale securities. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2021,2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $80.7totaling $87.8 million and unpledged securities classified as available-for-sale with a market value of $255.4$252.0 million provided additional sources of liquidity. WeThe Bank pledged collateral of $459.2 million to support borrowings from the FHLB of $427.1 million and havehas an established borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, for which available-for-sale securities with a market value of $24.3$9.3 million were pledged as of June 30, 2021.2022. First Northwest has a borrowing arrangement with NexBank which is secured by First Northwest's personal property assets (with certain exclusions), including all the outstanding shares of First Fed, cash, loans receivable, and limited partnership investments.

 

At June 30, 2021,2022, we had $3.8$3.0 million in loan commitments outstanding and $235.6$251.1 million in undisbursed loans and standby letters of credit, including $158.2$158.5 million in undisbursed construction loan commitments.

 

 

Certificates of deposit due within one year as of June 30, 20212022, totaled $172.8$169.6 million, or 66.0%62.9% of certificates of deposit with a weighted-average rate of 0.76%0.70%. We believe the large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers' hesitancy to invest their funds for longer periods as market interest rates have recently declined.were in decline. If these maturing deposits are not renewed, however, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit, non-maturity deposits, and borrowings. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered as well as through sales and marketing efforts in the markets we serve. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on certificates of deposit. In addition, we believe that our branch network, and the general cash flows from our existing lending and investment activities, will provide us more than adequate long-term liquidity. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

 

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and provides for its own liquidity. At June 30, 2021,2022, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had liquid assets of $20.7$1.5 million. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying dividends declared, if any, to its shareholders, funds paid for Company stock repurchases, and payments on subordinated notes held at the Company level.level, payments on the NexBank revolving credit facility, and commitments to limited partnership investments. The Company has the ability to receive dividends or capital distributions from the Bank, although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends. At June 30, 2022, First Northwest has partially fulfilledhad contributed $8.0 million in partial fulfillment of its commitment to extend $15.0 million to Quin Ventures, Inc. under a capital financing agreement and related promissory note.

 

Capital Resources

 

At June 30, 2021,2022, shareholders' equity totaled $188.8$165.2 million, or 10.6%8.1% of total assets. Our book value per share of common stock was $18.48$16.60 at June 30, 2021,2022, compared to $18.20$19.10 at December 31, 2020.2021.

In order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses, the Bank must maintain common equity tier 1 capital ("CET1") at an amount greater than the required minimum levels plus a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%.

 

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices

 

The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented in this report have been prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which require the measurement of financial and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs and the effect that general inflation may have on both short-term and long-term interest rates. Unlike companies in many other industries, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than do general levels of inflation. Although inflation expectations do affect interest rates, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

 

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in First Northwest Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), and other members of the Company's management team as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2021,2022, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

 

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2021,2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

 

The Company intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business. While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent every error or instance of fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

 

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company is engaged in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, none of which are currently considered to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The disclosures below supplementThere have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed underset forth in Part I. Item 1A of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect the future results of operations of our customers and/or the market price of our stock.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve, as do federal, state and local efforts to address it. Both the direct effects of the pandemic and the resulting United States governmental responses are of an unprecedented scope as it impacts both the health and the economy of our country and the world at large. No one can predict the extent or duration of the pandemic, or its effect on the markets that we serve. Further, the ongoing efforts and impact of the government in mitigating the health and the economic effects of the pandemic cannot currently be predicted, whether on our business or as to the economy as a whole. The pandemic has thus far resulted in significant volatility in international and United States markets, which could adversely affect the market price of our stock. To date, the pandemic has resulted in significant business disruption and volatility in the international and domestic markets, which has adversely affected the market price of our stock.

The Company continues to manage through uncertainties and complexities created by the pandemic. As an essential business, our employees have been able to work safely in our branch locations and over 70% of our workforce has the ability to work from home. However, the economic downturn in local markets we serve could result in increased credit risk associated with the loan portfolio to the extent that customers are unable to repay loans and meet their obligations, as well as adversely impacting our earnings. We believe our strong capital position will be important in managing through the effects of the pandemic.2021.

COVID-19 Legislation and Regulation.Not applicable.

Governments at the federal, state, and local levels continue to take steps to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law, which included $350 billion in stimulus for small businesses under the SBA PPP, along with direct stimulus payments (i.e., "economic impact payments" or "stimulus checks") for many eligible Americans. Shortly thereafter, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enforcement Act was signed into law and replenished funding to the SBA PPP and provided other spending for hospitals and virus testing. On June 5, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act ("PPPFA") was enacted. Main provisions of the PPPFA extended the PPP loan repayment period from two to five years, extended the covered expense period from eight to 24 weeks, and lowered the percentage of forgiveness amount required to be used for eligible payroll costs to 60%. The PPPFA also extended the repayment start date until after the SBA finalized the application process for loan forgiveness. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, enacted in December 2020, included another $284 billion to fund an expansion of the SBA PPP, subject to certain changes in eligibility requirements and program design. Most recently, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 became law in March 2021 and provides for a $1.9 billion stimulus package that, among other financial aid measures, included a new round of PPP funding with an application deadline of May 31, 2021.
