Comprehensive Income (Loss) Income. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles generally requiresrequire that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net earnings. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, such items along with net earnings, are components of comprehensive income (loss) income..

 

Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of the following (in thousands):

Income Taxes.

During the fourth quarter of 2021 the Company assessed its earnings history and trend over the past year and its estimate of future earnings, and the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized in the near term. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2021, the valuation allowance in the amount of $4 million that had been previously recorded against the net deferred tax asset for the amount not expected to be realized in the future was fully reversed. Therefore, there was no provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Recent PronouncementsAdoption of New Accounting Standards. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and the related amendments (collectively, Accounting Standards Codification 326), effective January 1, 2023. The guidance replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to certain off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance, including loan commitments, standby letters of credits, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments. In addition, Accounting Standards Codification 326 (“ASC 326”) made changes to the accounting for debt securities available for sale. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on debt securities available for sale that management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not, they will not be required to sell. ASC 326 also changed the accounting for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The adoption of CECL resulted in the recognition of $219,000 allowance for credit losses, $23,000 of liability for unfunded commitments, a deferred income tax asset of $61,000 and a reduction in retained earnings of $181,000. With this transition method, the Company did not have to restate comparative prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements related to ASC 326 but will present comparative prior periods disclosures using the previous accounting guidance for the allowance for loan losses. The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for debt securities available for sale. As of January 1, 2023, the Company did not have any allowance for credit losses on debt securities.

Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”). The following is a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies with respect to ASC 326:

ACL - Debt Securities Available for Sale. Management uses a systematic methodology to determine its ACL for debt securities available for sale. Each quarter management evaluates impairment where there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value. The Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either one of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In June 2016,making this assessment, management considers the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Creditextent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, among various other factors, including the nature of the collateral, potential future changes in collateral values, default rates, delinquency rates, third-party guarantees, credit ratings, interest rate changes since purchase, volatility of the security’s fair value and historical loss information for financial assets secured with similar collateral among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, an ACL is recorded, which is limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Credit losses are calculated individually, rather than collectively. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive loss.

Changes in the ACL are recorded as credit loss expense (reversal). Losses (Topic 326). The ASU improves financial reporting by requiring timelier recordingare charged against the ACL when management believes the collectability of the debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

Management excludes the accrued interest receivable balance from the amortized cost basis in measuring expected credit losses on loansthe debt securities available for sale and other financial instruments held bydoes not record an ACL on accrued interest receivable. As of June 30, 2023, the Company. accrued interest receivable for debt securities available for sale recognized in accrued interest receivable was $169,000.

ACL – Debt Securities Held to Maturity. The ASU requires the Company to measure allmeasures expected credit losses on debt securities held to maturity on a collective basis by major security type. U.S. Government agency securities, Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. Taxable municipal securities are highly rated by major credit agencies.

ACL - Loans. The ACL reflects management’s estimate of losses that will result from the inability of our borrowers to make required loan payments. The Company records loans charged-off against the ACL when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed and subsequent recoveries, if any, increase the ACL when they are recognized.

Management uses systematic methodologies to determine its ACL for financial assets held atloans and certain off- balance sheet credit exposures. The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the reporting date basedamortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on historical experience,the loan portfolio. Management estimates the ACL using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ManyHistorical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of the expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, althoughinformation are made for the inputs to those techniques will change to reflectdifferences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, or other relevant factors.

The Company’s estimate of its ACL involves a high degree of judgment; therefore, management’s process for determining expected credit losses may result in a range of expected credit losses.

The Company’s ACL recorded in the full amountbalance sheet reflects management’s best estimate of expected credit losses. The Company will continuerecognizes in earnings the amount needed to use judgment to determine which loss estimation methodadjust the ACL for management’s current estimate of expected credit losses. The Company’s ACL is appropriate for their circumstances. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investorscalculated using collectively evaluated 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 has executed an implementation plan through adoption date, implemented a software solution to assist with the estimation process, and has completed a data analysis. The Company expects that the impact of this ASU will not have a material effect to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.individually evaluated loans.

(1)General, Continued.

The ACL is measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans with similar risk characteristics are grouped into homogenous segments for analysis. The Company’s ACL is measured based on FDIC call report codes as these types of loans exhibit similar risk characteristics. The loan portfolio is further segmented by loan product type, collateral codes, occupancy codes, property code or lien position and are representative of the manner in which the Company lends.

The ACL for each segment is measured through the use of the average charge-off method. In accordance with the average charge-off method, an annual loss rate is applied to the amortized cost of an asset or pool of assets over the remaining expected life. The annual loss rate consists of historical and forecasted loss components. The forecasted component is applied using loss rates from historical periods that management believes are representative of economic conditions over a full economic cycle. For certain loan segments with limited credit loss histories, management determined the loss experience of peer banks provides the best basis for its assessment of expected credit losses. Other loan segments with more established loss histories utilize historical loss experience of the Company. Management determined that the appropriate historical loss period will begin in the first quarter of 2001 and continue through the most recent quarter, which represents a full peak to peak economic cycle. Additionally, management has determined that the Company’s reasonable and supportable forecast period is one year.

Included in its systematic methodology to determine its ACL, management considers the need to qualitatively adjust model results for risk factors that are not considered within the Company’s loss estimation process but are nonetheless relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within our loan pools.

These qualitative factors (“Q-Factors”) may increase or decrease management’s estimate of expected credit losses by a calculated percentage based upon the estimated level of risk. The various risks that may be considered in making Q-Factor adjustments include, among other things, the impact of 1) changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards; 2) changes in international, national, regional and local economic conditions; 3) changes in the volume and severity of past due and nonaccrual status; 4) the effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the levels of such concentrations; 5) changes in the experience, depth, and ability of lending management; 6) changes in nature and volume of the portfolio; 7) trends in underlying collateral values; 8) changes in the quality of the loan review system and 9) the effect of other external factors (i.e., competition, legal and regulatory requirements) on the level of estimated credit losses.

The annual loss rates, as defined above, adjusted for Q-Factors, are applied to the amortized loan balances over each subsequent period and aggregated to arrive at the General ACL. The amortized loan balances are adjusted based on management’s estimate of loan repayments in future periods.

When a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with its segment, the asset is assessed to determine whether it should be included in another segment or should be individually evaluated. Under ASC 326, the Company has adopted the collateral maintenance practical expedient to measure the ACL based on the fair value of collateral. Collateral dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for determining ACL. A Specific ACL is calculated on an individual loan basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan’s collateral, which is adjusted for selling costs, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required. Financial assets that have been individually evaluated can be returned to a pool for purposes of estimating the expected credit loss to the extent their credit profile improves and that the repayment terms were not considered to be unique to the asset.

Management measures expected credit losses over the contractual term of a loan. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either of the following applies:

Management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a loan modification will be executed with an individual borrower.
The extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.

The Company follows its nonaccrual policy by reversing contractual interest income in the consolidated statements of income when the Company places a loan on nonaccrual status. Therefore, management excludes the accrued interest receivable balance from the amortized cost basis in measuring expected credit losses on the portfolio and does not record an ACL on accrued interest receivable. As of June 30, 2023, the accrued interest receivable for loans was $1,377,000.

Also, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for credit losses based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Prior to the adoption of ASC 326, the allowance for loan losses represented management’s best estimate of inherent losses that had been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. The allowance for loan losses included allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC 310, “Receivables” and allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies.”

ACL - Off -Balance Sheet Credit Exposures. The Company has a variety of assets that have a component that qualifies as an off-balance sheet exposure. These primarily include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and unfunded commitments under revolving lines of credit. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Management has determined that a majority of the Company’s off-balance-sheet credit exposures are not unconditionally cancellable.

The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over their expected lives. Management used its judgement to determinate funding rates. Management applied the funding rates, along with the loss factor rate determined for each pooled loan segment, to unfunded loan commitments, excluding unconditionally cancellable exposures and letters of credit, to arrive at the reserve for unfunded loan commitments.

As of June 30, 2023, the liability recorded for expected credit losses on unfunded commitments was $236,000 and is included in “other liabilities” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The current adjustment to the ACL for unfunded commitments is recognized through credit loss expense in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the unrealized losses on forty-two and twenty-nine debt securities, respectively, were caused by market conditions. It is expected that the debt securities will 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.

(2)Debt Securities, Continued.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the unrealized losses on forty-two and forty investment debt securities, respectively, were caused by interest-rate changes.

Management evaluates debt securities for impairment where there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer including looking at default and delinquency rates, (2) the outlook for receiving the contractual cash flows of the investments, (3) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (4) the intent and ability to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value or for a debt security whether it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the debt security prior to recovering its fair value, (5) the anticipated outlook for changes in the general level of interest rates, (6) credit ratings, (7) third party guarantees, and (8) collateral values. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition, and the issuer’s anticipated ability to pay the contractual cash flows of the investments.

The Company performed an analysis that determined that the mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and U.S. government securities, have a zero expected credit loss as they have the full faith and credit backing of the U.S. government or one of its agencies. Municipal bonds that do not have a zero expected credit loss are evaluated at least quarterly to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with a decline in fair value. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 all municipal securities were rated as investment grade. All debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2023 continue to perform as scheduled and the Company does not believe that there is a credit loss or that credit loss expense is necessary. Also, as part of our evaluation of our intent and ability to hold investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market, the Company considers our investment strategy, cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. The Company does not currently intend to sell the investments within the portfolio, and it is not more-likely-than-not that a sale will be required.

Management continues to monitor all of our investments with a high degree of scrutiny. There can be no assurance that in a future period, conditions may exist at that time indicating that some or all of the Company’s securities may be sold that would require a charge to earnings as credit loss expense in such period.

(3) 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’sBank’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).Directors. 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. Underwriting 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.

 

Commercial. Commercial business loans and lines of credit consist of loans to small- and medium-sized companies in the Company’s market area.companies. 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 minimizemitigates these risks through its underwriting standards.

 

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.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.

 

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 SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 follows (in thousands):

Schedule of Off-Balance Sheet Risks of Financial Instruments 

        
Commitments to extend credit $20,335  $32,184 
        
Unused lines of credit $19,962  $56,272 
        
Standby letters of credit $4,313  $4,313 

(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.

Strategic Plan

Our key strategic initiatives are designed to generate continued growth in earning assets, core transaction and savings deposits, treasury management fee income, and lower costs. Continued emphasis on expansion of our footprint and exploring additional lines of business are also part of our plans.

On the loan side, we intend to continue our focus on increasing our multi-family, non-owner occupied, commercial real estate, and skilled nursing facility loan portfolios. As to deposits, we are focused on identifying deposit growth opportunities among our existing customer base and prospects throughout Florida and the United States. With respect to treasury management, our focus will remain on merchant cash advance providers and the related electronic funds transfer line of business. For this revenue source to increase further in a meaningful way, automation will be necessary in order to further improve efficiency. We are currently investing in the necessary technology to achieve this end.

Going forward, our strategic plan will continue to emphasize and build upon initiatives focused on strengthening credit oversight and credit administrative processes and procedures. Moreover, management continues to identify loan growth opportunities that are designed to improve overall profitability without sacrificing credit quality and underwriting standards. This growth oriented strategic direction is expected to be facilitated by maintaining credit administration objectives including a risk-based and comprehensive credit culture and a credit administrative infrastructure that reinforces appropriate risk management practices.

During the third quarter of 2023, the Bank plans to offer U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) SBA 7A loans. SBA 7A loans are generally used to establish a new business or assist in the acquisition, operation, or expansion of an existing business. With SBA loan programs, there are set eligibility requirements and underwriting standards outlined by SBA that can change as the government alters its fiscal policy. These loans are generally secured by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and real estate. The Bank hired two full-time SBA staff. So, loans and revenue they may produce will be without any increased expense, other than servicing fees.

Additionally, management has implemented initiatives that have enabled us to grow our loan portfolio primarily with locally generated relationships in the non-owner occupied, multi-family and commercial real estate sectors. However, out-of-area loans and loan pool purchases will be considered as deemed appropriate and subject to proper due diligence to further increase interest income and for portfolio diversification purposes.
