OPTIMUMBANK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1) General. OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a one-bank holding company and owns 100% of OptimumBank (the “Bank”), a Florida-chartered commercial bank. The Company’s only business is the operation of the Bank. The Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank offers a variety of community banking services to individual and corporate customers through its two banking offices located in Broward County, Florida.

Basis of Presentation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2021, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Subsequent Events. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 11, 2021, which is the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. On July 16, 2021, the Company closed its banking office located in Plantation, Florida. The Company acquired the remaining Trust Preferred Securities with a balance of $1,228,000 at June 30, 2021 in exchange for 407,195 shares of common stock during July 2021. The Company determined no additional events required disclosure.

Coronavirus Global Pandemic(“COVID-19”). The Company is subject to risks related to the public health crisis associated with COVID-19. COVID-19 has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as loan quality, regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, the duration of the pandemic, and actions taken by governmental authorities to slow the spread of the disease or to mitigate its effects.

Junior Subordinated Debenture. In 2004, the Company formed OptimumBank Capital Trust I (the “Trust’’) for the purpose of raising capital through the sale of trust preferred securities. At that time, the Trust raised $5,155,000 through the sale of 5,000 trust preferred securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) to a third-party investor and the issuance of 155 common trust securities to the Company.

The Trust utilized the proceeds of $5,155,000 to purchase a junior subordinated debenture from the Company (the “Junior Subordinated Debenture”). Under the Junior Subordinated Debenture, the Company was required to make interest payments on a periodic basis and to pay the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest on October 7, 2034.  

In May 2018, Preferred Shares, LLC (the “Purchaser”) acquired all 5,000 of the Trust Preferred Securities from a third party. The Purchaser is an affiliate of a director of the Company. The Purchaser has subsequently sold and/or transferred 3,087 of the Trust Preferred Securities to unaffiliated third parties.  

During 2018, the Company issued 301,778 shares of common stock in exchange for 694 Trust Preferred Securities. For accounting purposes, the Trust Preferred Securities acquired by the Company were deemed to be cancelled. As a result, the Company cancelled $694,000 in principal amount of the Trust Preferred Securities, together with accrued interest of $211,000, and increased its stockholders’ equity by the same amount.  

During 2019, the Company issued 924,395 shares of common stock in exchange for 1,881 Trust Preferred Securities. For accounting purposes, the Trust Preferred Securities acquired by the Company were deemed to be cancelled. As a result, the Company cancelled $1,881,000 in principal amount of the Trust Preferred Securities, together with accrued interest of $763,000, and increased its stockholders’ equity by the same amount.  

The Company had been in default under the Junior Subordinated Debenture due to the failure to pay interest since 2015. In September 2020, the Company paid approximately $1.1 million to the holders of the outstanding Trust Preferred Securities, which represented all accrued interest through September 2020 under the Junior Subordinated Debenture attributable to the Trust Preferred Securities that had not been cancelled. The coupon interest rate floats quarterly at the six-month LIBOR rate plus 2.45% (2.65% at June 30, 2021).  

During December 2020, the Company issued 171,500 shares of common stock in exchange for 512 Trust Preferred Securities. For accounting purposes, the Trust Preferred Securities acquired by the Company were deemed to be cancelled. As a result, the Company cancelled $512,000 in principal amount of the Trust Preferred Securities, together with accrued interest of $2,000, and increased its stockholders’ equity by the same amount.  

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued 11,042 shares of common stock to pay approximately $41,000 of accrued interest associated with the outstanding Trust Preferred Securities.  

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company issued 282,377 shares of common stock in exchange for 840 Trust Preferred Securities. For accounting purposes, the Trust Preferred Securities acquired by the Company were deemed to be cancelled. As a result, the Company cancelled $840,000 in principal amount of the Trust Preferred Securities, together with accrued interest of $7,000, and increased its stockholders’ equity by the same amount.

 

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company issued 407,195 shares of common stock in exchange for the remaining 1,228 Trust Preferred Securities. For accounting purposes, the Trust Preferred Securities acquired by the Company were deemed to be cancelled. As a result, the Company cancelled $1,228,000 in principal amount of the Trust Preferred Securities and increased its stockholders’ equity by the same amount. As result, the Company has acquired all of the Trust Preferred Securities and is in the process of cancelling them and terminating the Trust.

The principal owed by the Company in connection with the Junior Subordinated Debenture was $1,228,000 at June 30, 2021 and $2,068,000 at December 31, 2020, respectively. The accrued interest owed by the Company associated with the Junior Subordinated Debenture was $12,000 at June 30, 2021 and $30,000 at December 31, 2020, respectively and is presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Other liabilities”.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU improves financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by the Company. The ASU requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. The Company will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The ASU will take effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is in the process of determining the effect of the ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Debt Securities Continued.

Management evaluates debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospectus of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the unrealized losses on twenty-seventwenty-three and eleven debt securities respectively, were caused by market conditions. It is expected that the debt securities would not be settled at a price less than the book value of the investments. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to market conditions and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

Loans, Continued.

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

Residential Real Estate, Multi-Family Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Land and Construction. Residential real estate loans are underwritten based on repayment capacity and source, value of the underlying property, credit history and stability. The Company offers first and second one-to-four family mortgage loans; the collateral for these loans is generally the clients’ owner-occupied residences. Although these types of loans present lower levels of risk than commercial real estate loans, risks do still exist because of possible fluctuations in the value of the real estate collateral securing the loan, as well as changes in the borrowers’ financial condition. Multi-family and commercial real estate loans are secured by the subject property and are underwritten based upon standards set forth in the policies approved by the Board. Such standards include, among other factors, loan to value limits, cash flow coverage and general creditworthiness of the obligors. Construction loans to borrowers finance the construction of owner occupied and leased properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to commercial or residential real estate loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Real estate development and construction loans are approved based on an analysis of the borrower and guarantor, the viability of the project and on an acceptable percentage of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. Real estate development and construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction completed. The Company carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Development and construction loans are typically secured by the properties under development or construction, and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the underlying property, the Company considers the market conditions and feasibility of proposed projects, the financial condition and reputation of the borrower and guarantors, the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project, independent appraisals, cost estimates and pre-construction sales information. The Company also makes loans on occasion for the purchase of land for future development by the borrower. Land loans are extended for future development for either commercial or residential use by the borrower. The Company carefully analyzes the intended use of the property and the viability thereof.

11
 
Commercial. Commercial business loans and lines of credit consist of loans to small- and medium-sized companies in the Company’s market area. Commercial loans are generally used for working capital purposes or for acquiring equipment, inventory or furniture. Primarily all of the Company’s commercial loans are secured loans, along with a small amount of unsecured loans. The Company’s underwriting analysis consists of a review of the financial statements of the borrower, the lending history of the borrower, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business, the value of the collateral, if any, and whether the loan is guaranteed by the principals of the borrower. These loans are generally secured by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Commercial loans are typically made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business, which makes them of higher risk than residential loans and the collateral securing loans may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. The Company seeks to minimize these risks through its underwriting standards. The Company took action to prepare its employees, support its clients, and help its communities. The Company has supported small business owners by making loans through the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). As of March 31, 2021, the Bank had originated 407 PPP loans for a total dollar amount of $34.9 million. These loans are 100% guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). At March 31, 2021 outstanding PPP loans total approximately $32.7 million.
Consumer. Consumer loans are extended for various purposes, including purchases of automobiles, recreational vehicles, and boats. Also offered are home improvement loans, lines of credit, personal loans, and deposit account collateralized loans. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts.

Internally assigned loan grades are defined as follows:

Pass – a Pass loan’s primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary. These are loans that conform in all aspects to bank policy and regulatory requirements, and no repayment risk has been identified.
OLEM – an Other Loan Especially Mentioned has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard – a Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Included in this category are loans that are current on their payments, but the Bank is unable to document the source of repayment. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful – a loan classified as Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified as Substandard, with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. The Company charges off any loan classified as Doubtful.
Loss – a loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future. The Company fully charges off any loan classified as Loss.

(8)Off- Balance Sheet Financial Instruments. The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.16

(8)Off- Balance Sheet Financial Instruments. The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit to customers is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments. Standby letters of credit generally have expiration dates within one year.

Commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded. A summary of the contractual amounts of the Company’s financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at March 31,June 30, 2021 follows (in thousands):

Commitments to extend credit $9,221 
     
Unused lines of credit $10,718 
     
Standby letters of credit $4,550 

Schedule of Off-Balance Sheet Risks of Financial Instruments

     
Commitments to extend credit $13,388

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

 In 2019, the federal banking agencies jointly issued a final rule that provides for an optional, simplified measure of capital adequacy, the community bank leverage ratio framework (CBLR framework), for qualifying community banking organizations. The final rule became effective on January 1, 2020 and was elected by the Bank. In April 2020, the federal banking agencies issued an interim final rule that makes temporary changes to the CBLR framework, pursuant to section 4012 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, and a second interim final rule that provides a graduated increase in the community bank leverage ratio requirement after the expiration of the temporary changes implemented pursuant to section 4012 of the CARES Act.

The community bank leverage ratio removes the requirement for qualifying banking organizations to calculate and report risk-based capital but rather only requires a Tier 1 to average assets (leverage) ratio. Qualifying community banking organizations that elect to use the community bank leverage ratio framework and that maintain a leverage ratio of greater than required minimums will be considered to have satisfied the generally applicable risk based and leverage capital requirements in the agencies’ capital rules (generally applicable rule) and, if applicable, will be considered to have met the well capitalized ratio requirements for purposes of section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Under the interim final rules, the community bank leverage ratio minimum requirement is 8% as of December 31, 2020, 8.5% for calendar year 2021, and 9% for calendar year 2022 and beyond. The interim rule allows for a two-quarter grace period to correct a ratio that falls below the required amount, provided that the Bank maintains a leverage ratio of 7% as of December 31, 2020, 7.5% for calendar year 2021, and 8% for calendar year 2022 and beyond. Under the final rule, an eligible community banking organization can opt out of the CBLR framework and revert back to the risk-weighting framework without restriction.
