Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of AmericaGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. It is reasonably possible our estimate of the allowance for loan losses and the fair value of mortgage servicing rights could change as actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issuedissues Accounting Standards UpdateUpdates ("ASU" or “Update”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)and Accounting Standards Codifications (“ASC”), which are the primary source of GAAP.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

When RBB conducted its initial public offering (“IPO”) in 2017, we qualified as an emerging growth company (“EGC”). This Update requiresWe will remain an entityEGC until the earliest of (i) the end of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.0 billion or more, (ii) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our IPO, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt and (iv) the date on which we are deemed to recognize revenuebe a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as performance obligationsamended (the “Exchange Act”). We anticipate no longer qualifying as an EGC on December 31, 2022. EGCs are met, in order to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity is entitled to receive for those goods or services.  The following steps are applied inreduced regulatory and reporting requirements under the updated guidance: (1) identifySecurities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction priceExchange Act, as compared to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation.  These amendments are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period and one year later for nonpublic business entities.  Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that period. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective approach.  Since the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments such as loans and investments, which are accounted for under other provisions of GAAP, we do not expect it to impact interest income, our largest component of income.  The Company will perform an overall assessment of revenue streams potentially affected by the ASU, including certain deposit related fees and interchange fees, to determine the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.  ("PBE").

In JanuaryFebruary 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10).  Changes made to the current measurement model primarily affect the accounting for equity securities and readily determinable fair values, where changes in fair value will impact earnings instead of other comprehensive income.  The accounting for other financial instruments, such as loans, investments in debt securities, and financial liabilities is largely unchanged.  The Update also changes the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments including a requirement that public business entities use exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for disclosure purposes.  This Update is generally effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years and one year later for nonpublic business entities.  Based upon a preliminary evaluation of the guidance in ASU No. 2016-01 the Company does not believe that the ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The Company will continue to monitor any updates to the guidance.  

In February 2016 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, -02,Leases (Topic 842)842). The most significant change for lessees is the requirement under the new guidance to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases not considered short-term leases, which is generally defined as a lease term of less than 12 months. This change will result in lessees recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases currently accounted for as operating leases under current lease accounting guidance. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, for public business entities and one year later for all other entities.  The Company has several lease agreements which are currently considered operating leases and are therefore not included on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Under the new guidance, the Company expects that some of the lease agreements will have to be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a right-of-use assetassets with a corresponding lease liability.  Based upon a preliminary evaluation the Company expects that the ASU will have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The Company will continue to evaluate how extensive the impact will be under theearly adopted this ASU on January 1, 2021 and recorded the Company’s consolidated financial statements.right-of-use asset and lease liability of approximately $26.8 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)

In MarchJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718.)  ASU 2016-09 includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements.  Under ASU 2016-09, excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies will no longer be recorded in additional paid-in capital ("APIC").  Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement, and APIC pools will be eliminated.  In addition, the guidance requires excess tax benefits be presented as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity.  ASU 2016-09 also permits an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards.  Forfeitures can be estimated, as required today, or recognized when they occur.  This guidance is effective for public business entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and for nonpublic business entities annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.  Early adoption is permitted, but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period.  The Company early adopted the ASU as of January 1, 2017. The Company plans to recognize forfeitures as they occur.  The early adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on the company’s financial statements or disclosures.  

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instrument (Topic 326).326), including subsequent amending ASUs. This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren'tare not measured at fair value through net income.  In issuing the standard, the FASB is responding to criticism that today's guidance delays recognition of credit losses. The standard will replace today's "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model, will apply to: (1)(1) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (2)(2) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases, held to maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. The CECL model does not apply toFor available for sale ("AFS"(“AFS”) debt securities.  For AFS debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to what they do today, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses immediately in earnings rather than as interest income over time, as they do today.  The ASU also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans.  ASU 2016-132016-13 also expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity's assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses.  In addition, public business entities will need to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. ASU No. 2016-13 is2016-13 was originally proposed to be effective for interim and annual reporting periods for an emerging growth company beginning after December 15, 2019, for SEC filers, one year later for non SEC filing public business entities and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, for nonpublic business entities and interim periods within the reporting periods beginning after but was subsequently extended until December 15, 2021.  Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.  31, 2022. Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach). The Company has begun its evaluation of the impact of the implementation of ASU 2016-13.2016-13. The implementation of the provisions of ASU No. 2016-132016-13 will most likely impact the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements as to the level of reserves that will be required for credit losses. The Company will continue to accessassess the potential impact that this ASUUpdate will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The Company will adopt CECL (ASU 2016-13) on December 31, 2022.

In February 2019, the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies approved a final rule modifying their regulatory capital rules and providing an option to phase in over a three year period the day-one adverse regulatory capital effects of ASU 2016-13. Additionally, in March 2020, the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that provides banking organizations an option to delay the estimated CECL impact on regulatory capital for an additional two years for a total transition period of up to five years to provide regulatory relief to banking organizations to better focus on supporting lending to creditworthy households and businesses in light of recent strains on the U.S. economy as a result of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic. As a result, entities will have the option to gradually phase in the full effect of CECL on regulatory capital over a five-year transition period.  At this point, RBB does not expect to take the option to phase in effect of CECL.

In August 2016, January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The new guidance clarifies the classification within the statement of cash flows for certain transactions, including debt extinguishment costs, zero-coupon debt, contingent consideration related to business combinations, insurance proceeds, equity method distributions and beneficial interests in securitizations. The guidance also clarifies that cash flows with aspects of multiple classes of cash flows that cannot be separated by source or use should be classified based on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source or use of cash flows for the item. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and will require application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. Currently, Topic 805 specifies three elements of a business – inputs, processes, and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) that is a business usually has outputs, outputs are not required. In addition, all the inputs and processes that a seller uses in operating a set are not required if market participants can acquire the set and continue to produce outputs, for example, by integrating the acquired set with their own inputs and processes. This led many transactions to be accounted for as business combinations rather than asset purchases under legacy GAAP. The primary goal of ASU 2017-01 is to narrow the definition of a business, and the guidance in this update provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04,-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)350). This ASUUpdate simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The amendments in this Update are required for public business entities and other entities that have goodwill reported in their financial statements and have not elected the private company alternative for the subsequent measurement of goodwill. As a result, under the ASU,this Update, “an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.” For PBE's, ASU No. 2017-142017-04 is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019 for public business entities that are SEC filers, December 15, 2020 for business entities that are not SEC filers, and December 15, 2021 for all other entities.  Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.   The2019. As an EGC, the Company will continue to access the potential impact thatadopt this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which is intended to enhance “the accounting for the amortization of premiums for purchased callable debt securities.” The ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities purchased at a premium by requiring that the premium be amortized to the earliest call date. Under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), entities generally amortize the premium as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument.  The amendments in this Update affects all entities that hold investments in callable debt securities that have an amortized cost basis in excess of the amount that is repayable by the issuer at the earliest call date (that is, at a premium). The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU’s amendments are effective for public business entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. For other entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. The implementation of the provisions31, 2022.

This Update applies to entities that are a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. Costs for implementation activities in the application development stage are capitalized depending on the nature of codification Accounting.” The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changesthe costs, while costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as the activities are performed. This Update also requires the customer to expense the terms or conditionscapitalized implementation costs of a share- entity to apply modification accounting. An entity should account forhosting arrangement that is a service contract over the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (1) The fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used)term of the modified awardhosting arrangement. This Update is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification. (2) The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. (3) The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.

The amendments in this ASUUpdate should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to an award modified on orall implementation costs incurred after the adoption date.date of adoption. This Update will most likely not have a material impact unless the Company incurs implementation costs for a CCA that is a service contract.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)”. This ASU is for equity securities accounted for by the equity method. The amendment clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method.  The Company does has equity securities on our balance sheet but are not expect material to be considered for the equity method.

The fair values are estimates and are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the acquisition date or when additional information relativedate. 

The Company accounted for this transaction under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires purchased assets and liabilities assumed to the closing datebe recorded at their respective fair values becomes available and such information is considered final, whichever is earlier.  While additional significant changes toat the closing date of acquisition.

The loan portfolio of the Honolulu branch was recorded at fair values are not expected, any information relative tovalue at the changes in these fair values will be evaluated to determine if such changes are due to events and circumstances that existeddate of acquisition with the assistance of a third-party valuation. A valuation of the loan portfolio was performed as of the acquisition date. During the measurement period, any such changes will be recorded as part of the closing date fair value.  The measurement period ended on February 19, 2017.

In many cases, the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined by estimating the cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and discounting them at appropriate market rates. The most significant category of assets for which this procedure was used was that of acquired loans. The excess of expected cash flows aboveassess the fair value of the majorityloan portfolio. The loan portfolio was segmented into two groups; loans with credit deterioration and loans without credit deterioration, and then split further by loan type. There were 0 loans acquired with credit deterioration.  The fair value was calculated on an individual loan basis using a discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rate utilized was based on a weighted average cost of loans willcapital, considering the cost of equity and cost of debt. Also factored into the fair value estimates were loss rates, recovery period and prepayment rates based on industry standards.

The Company also determined the fair value of the core deposit intangible, premises and equipment and deposits with the assistance of third-party valuations.

The core deposit intangible on non-maturing deposits was determined by evaluating the underlying characteristics of the deposit relationships, including customer attrition, deposit interest rates, service charge income, overhead expense and costs of alternative funding. Since the fair value of intangible assets are calculated as if they were stand-alone assets, the presumption is that a hypothetical buyer of the intangible asset would be accretedable to interest incometake advantage of potential tax benefits resulting from the asset purchase. The value of the benefit is the present value over the period of the tax benefit, using the discount rate applicable to the asset.

13

In determining the fair value of certificates of deposit, a discounted cash flow analysis was used, which involved present valuing the contractual payments over the remaining liveslife of the loans in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-20.certificates of deposit at market-based interest rates.

Third-party acquisition related expenses are recognized as incurred and continue until the loans acquired had evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination for which it was probable, at acquisition, that thesystem is converted and operational functions become fully integrated. The Company would be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles there was no carryover of the allowance for loan losses that had been previously recorded by TFC Holding Company.

Unrealized losses have not been recognized into income because the issuer bonds are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell, it is not more likely than not that management would be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"(“OTTI”) on at least a semi-annualquarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings.

Equity Securities - The Company has several CRA equity investments.  The Company recorded no loss nor gain for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and a loss of $20,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to the decrease in the fair value of those equity investments without readily determinable fair values.  CRA equity securities were $20.0 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Although the Company seeks to avoid concentrations of loans to a single industry or based upon a single class of collateral, real estate and real estate associated businesses are among the principal industries in the Company's market area and, as a result, the Company's loan and collateral portfolios are, to some degree, concentrated in those industries.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This

16


RBB BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)

analysis typically includes larger, non-homogeneous loans such as commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass - Loans classified as pass include loans not meeting the risk ratings defined below.

Special Mention -Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management'smanagement’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.

Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Impaired - A loan is considered impaired, when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Additionally, all loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired.

Activity for servicing assets follows:

The fair value of servicing assets for mortgage loans was $1,804,000$16.3 million and $1,184,000$15.4 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016, 2021, respectively. The fair value of servicing assets for SBA loans was $4,982,000$4.1 million and $3,142,000$4.1 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016, 2021, respectively. Estimates of the loan servicing asset fair value are derived through a discounted cash flow analysis. Portfolio characteristics include loan delinquency rates, age of loans, note rate and geography. The assumptions embedded in the valuation are obtained from a range of metrics utilized by active buyers in the market place. The analysis accounts for recent transactions, and supply and demand within the market.

Servicing fees net of servicing asset amortization totaled $571,000$432,000 and $384,000$246,000 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016,2021, respectively.

When mortgage and Small Business Administration ("SBA")SBA loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans. Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans.

Servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. During the three months ended  March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any impairment writedowns on mortgage servicing rights.

21

Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income.

NOTE 7 - GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES

Goodwill is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrollingnon-controlling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill resulting from whole bank and branch acquisitions is not amortized, butare tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has historically selected December 3131st as the date to perform the annual impairment test. Goodwill amounted to $29.9$71.5 million and $69.2 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and at December 31, 2016,2021, respectively, and is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on the Company's balance sheet. There were no impairment lossesGoodwill in the amount of $2.3 million was recognized on goodwill duringin conjunction with the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.acquisition of the Honolulu, Hawaii branch office.

Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangible ("CDI") assets arising from whole bank and branch acquisitions. CDI assets are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful life of 8 to 10 years. During the quarter ended March 31,2022, $729,000 of CDI was recognized in conjunction with for the 2013 acquisition of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into financial commitments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial commitments include commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, commercial and similar letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk not recognized in the Company's financial statements.

The Company's exposure to loan loss in the event of nonperformance on these financial commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for loans reflected in the financial statements.

At September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016, 2021, the Company had the following financial commitments whose contractual amount represents credit risk:

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. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each client's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer.

The Company is involved in various matters of litigation which have arisen in the ordinary course of business and accruals for estimates of potential losses have been provided when necessary and appropriate under generally accepted accounting principles.  In the opinion of management, the disposition of such pending litigation will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

NOTE 14 - LEASES

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and elected the package of practical expedients that permits the Company to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected all of the new standard’s available transition practical expedients, including the short-term lease recognition exemption that includes not recognizing Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases, and the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of the Company's leases.

The Company determines if a contract arrangement is a lease at inception and primarily enters into operating lease contracts for its branch locations, office space, and certain equipment. As part of its property lease agreements, the Company may seek to include options to extend or terminate at lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. The Company's measurement of the ROU assets and operating lease liabilities does not include payments associated with the option to extend or terminate the lease. The ROU lease asset also includes any lease payments made and lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company did not possess any leases that have variable lease payments or residual value guarantees as of March 31, 2022.

The ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of its lease liabilities.

The Company leases several of its operating facilities under various non-cancellable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2036. The Company is also responsible for common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance at the various branch locations.

NOTE 1617 - REGULATORY MATTERS

Holding companies (with assets over $1$3 billion at the beginning of the year) and banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking 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'sCompany’s financial statements.

In July 2013, the federal bank regulatory agencies approved the final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's capital guidelines for U.S. banks. The new rules became effective on January 1, 2015, with certain of the requirements phased-in over a multi-year schedule. Under the rules, minimum requirements increased for both the quantity and quality of capital held by the Bank. The rules include a new common equity Tier 1 ("CET1" (“CET1”) capital to risk-weighted assets ratio with minimums for capital adequacy and prompt corrective action purposes of 4.5% and 6.5%, respectively. The minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was raised from 4.0% to 6.0% under the capital adequacy framework and from 6.0% to 8.0% to be well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action framework. In addition, the rules introduced the concept of a "conservation buffer" of 2.5% applicable to the three capital adequacy risk-weighted asset ratios (CET1,(CET1, Tier 1, and Total). The implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at 0.625% and will bewas phased in over a four-yearfour-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reachesreached 2.5% on January 1, 2019).  The capital conservation buffer for September 30, 2017 is 11.08% and 12.49% for the Bank and Bancorp, respectively. If the capital adequacy minimum ratios plus the phased-in conservation buffer amount exceed actual risk-weighted capital ratios, then dividends, share buybacks, and discretionary bonuses to executives could be limited in amount.

RBB BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)

Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total, Tier 1 and CET1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). As permitted by the regulators for financial institutions that are not deemed to be “advanced approaches” institutions, the Company has elected to opt out of the Basel III requirement to include accumulated other comprehensive income in risk-based capital. Management believes that at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016, that2021, RBB and the Bank meetssatisfied all capital adequacy requirements to which it isthey were subject.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (there are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category).  To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum ratios asdefined in applicable regulations and set forth in the table below.

The California Financial Code generally acts to prohibit banks from making a cash distribution to its shareholders in excess of the lesser of the bank's undivided profits or the bank's net income for its last three fiscal years less the amount of any distribution made by the bank's shareholders during the same period.

The California general corporation lawGeneral Corporation Law generally acts to prohibit companies from paying dividends on common stock unless its retained earnings, immediately prior to the dividend payment, equals or exceeds the amount of the dividend. If a company fails this test, then it may still pay dividends if after giving effect to the dividend the company's assets are at least 125% of its liabilities.

Additionally, the Federal Reserve Bank has issued guidance which requires that they be consulted before payment of a dividend if a bankfinancial holding company does not have earnings over the prior four quarters of at least equal to the dividend to be paid, plus other holding company obligations.

NOTE 1718 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:

Securities:The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1)1) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2)2).

Other Real Estate Owned: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties 

classified as other real estate owned (“OREO”) are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property which are commonly adjusted by management to reflect an expectation of the amount to be ultimately collected and selling costs (Level 3)3).

 

26


RBB BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)

Appraisals for other real estate ownedOREO are performed by state licensed appraisers (for commercial properties) or state certified appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company.  When a Notice of Default is recorded, an appraisal report is ordered.  Once received, a member of the credit administration department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison to independent data sources such as recent market data or industry wide-statistics for residential appraisals.  Commercial appraisals are sent to an independent third party to review.  The Company also compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been sold to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustments, if any, should be made to the appraisal values on any remaining other real estate owned to arrive at fair value.  If the existing appraisal is older than twelve months a new appraisal report is ordered. No significant adjustments to appraised values have been made as a result of this comparison process as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2022.

Interest Rate Lock Contracts and Forward Mortgage Loan Sale Contracts: The fair values of interest rate lock contracts and forward mortgage loan sale contracts are determined by loan lock-in rate, loan funded rate, market interest rate, fees to be collected from the borrower, fees and costs associated with the origination of the loan, expiration timing, sale price, and the value of the retained servicing. The company classified these derivatives as level 3 due to management’s estimate of market rate, cost and expiration timing on these contracts.

Collateral-dependent impaired loans: Collateral-dependent impaired loans are carried at fair value when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the original loan agreement and the loan has been written down to the fair value of its underlying collateral, net of expected disposition costs where applicable. Collateral-dependent impaired loans evaluated with specific reserves are classified as Level 3 assets.  There were no loans of this type as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The following table provides the hierarchy and fair value for each major category of assets and liabilities measured at fair value at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016:2021:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (UNAUDITED)

Quantitative information about the Company's recurring Level 3 fair value measurements as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is as follows:

At December 31, 2021, fair value for IRLCs and FMLSCs totaled $265,000.  All IRLCs and FMLSCs at December 31, 2021 were funded and sold to Fannie Mae in the firstthree months of 2022.  Changes in fair value were $233,000 in 2022.  Fair value for IRLCs and FMLSCs totaled $32,000 at March 31, 2022.

The fair value measurement of IRLCs and FMLSCs were primarily based on the buy price from borrowers ranging from 97 to 100, the sale price to Fannie Mae ranging from 98 to 103, and the significant unobservable inputs using margin cost rate of 1.50%.

Quantitative information about the Company's OREO non-recurring Level 3 fair value measurements at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 20162021 is as follows:

OREO consists of one single-family residence with a fair value of $293,000 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.  OREO was evaluated by third party appraisals with unobservable input of management adjustment in the range of 5%-6% to reflect current conditions and selling costs.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments ("IRLCs"):  Agreements under which the Company agrees to extend credit to a borrower under certain specified terms and conditions in which the interest rate and the maximum amount of the loan are set prior to funding. Under the agreement, the Company commits to lend funds to a potential borrower (subject to the Company’s approval of the loan) on a fixed or adjustable rate basis, regardless of whether interest rates change in the market, or on a floating rate basis.  As such, outstanding IRLCs are subject to interest rate risk and related price risk during the period from the date of issuance through the date of loan funding, cancelling or expiration.  Loan commitments generally range between 30 and 90 days; however, the borrower is not obligated to obtain the loan.  The Company is subject to fallout risk related to IRLCs, which is realized if approved borrowers choose not to close on the loans within the terms of the IRLCs.  The Company uses best efforts commitments to substantially eliminate these risks.  Historical commitment-to-closing ratios are considered to estimate the quantity of mortgage loans that will fund within the terms of the IRLCs.

The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) provides that IRLCs on mortgage loans that will be held for resale are derivatives and must be accounted for at fair value on the balance sheet (if material). FASB ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures specifies how these derivatives are to be valued.  Commitments to originate mortgage loans to be held for investment and other types of loans are generally not derivatives. Consequently, the Company has elected to account for these obligations at fair value.

Forward Mortgage Loan Sale Contracts ("FMLSCs"):  The Company is subject to interest rate and price risk on its mortgage loans held for sale from the loan funding date until the date the loan is sold.  Best efforts commitments which fix the forward sales price that will be realized in the secondary market are used to eliminate the interest rate and price risk to the Company.  To avoid interest rate risk, the Company will enter into FMLSCs at the time they make an interest rate lock commitment to the buyer. They can enter into mortgage loan sales commitments on a “mandatory” or “best efforts” basis. Mandatory commitments provide that the loan must be delivered or the commitment be “paired off”. In general, best efforts commitments provide that the loan be delivered if and when it closes.

Mandatory delivery commitments, also known as forward loan sales commitments, are considered to be derivatives under FASB ASC Topic 815 (Derivatives and Hedging) because they meet all of the following criteria:

They have a specified underlying (the contractually specified price for the loans)

They have a notional amount (the committed loan principal amount)

They require little or no initial net investment

They require or permit net settlement as the institution via a pair-off transaction or the payment of a pair-off fee.

NOTE 1819 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the asset or obligation could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market value exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on financial instruments both on and off the balance sheet without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Additionally, tax consequences related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a potential effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in many of the estimates.

In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, volatilities, etc.) or model-based valuation techniques where all significant assumptions are observable, either directly or indirectly, in the market.

Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques where one or more significant inputs are not observable, either directly or indirectly, in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques may include use of matrix pricing, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair values presented. Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique.

31

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management maximizes the use of observable inputs and attempts to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value measurements. Estimated fair values are disclosed for financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. These estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market data and information about the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument for sale at one time, nor do they attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business related to the instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates.

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of significanteach class of financial instruments not previously presented:instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts ofFor cash and due from banks, Federal funds sold, and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is assumed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value, a Level 1 measurement.

For short-term instruments approximateinvestments and interest-bearing deposits, the carrying amount is assumed to be a reasonable estimate of fair values.value, a Level 1 measurement.

Time Deposits in Other Banks

Securities available for sale and held-to-maturity are measured by using quoted market prices for similar securities or dealer quotes, a Level 2 measurement. This category generally includes U.S. Government agency securities, U.S. Government sponsored entities, state and municipal securities, mortgage backed securities (“MBS”), collateralized mortgage obligations and corporate bonds.

Equity securities fair value are measured based on unobservable inputs at the reporting date, a Level 3 measurement.  Equity securities are comprised of affordable housing investment funds and other restricted stocks. 

Fair values for time deposits with other banks are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offeredfor portfolios of loans with similar terms.financial characteristics. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and non-performing categories. The fair values are based primarily on third-party vendor pricing to determine fair values based on the exit price notion.

Mortgage Loans Held

The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan, a Level 3 measurement.

The fair value of impaired loans is calculated based on the net realizable fair value of the collateral or the observable market price of the most recent sale or quoted price from loans held for Salesale. The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral dependent impaired loans are recorded based on the adjusted appraised value of the collateral, a Level 3 measurement.

The Company records mortgage loans held for sale at fair value based on quoted prices from third party sale analysis, existing sale agreements, or appraisal reports adjusted by sales commission assumption, a Level 1 measurement.

Mortgage and SBA servicing rights are calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the net premium received on recent sales of mortgage loans for identical pools of loans.estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan, a Level 2 measurement.

Loans

For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying amounts.  The fair values for all other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality.  The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, including interest and non-interest demand accounts, savings, and certain typesvalue of money market accounts are, by definition based on carrying value.  Fair value for fixed-ratefixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interestthe rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregate expected monthlyfor deposits with similar remaining maturities, on time deposits.  Early withdrawal of fixed-rate certificates of deposit is not expected to be significant

Long-Term Debt

The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification. measurement.

Subordinated Debentures

The fair values of the Company’s Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, interest rate lock commitments and forward mortgage loan sales contracts is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability result in a Level 3 measurement.

The fair value of theseFHLB advances is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk, a Level 3 measurement.

Subordinated debentures fair value is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk, a Level 3 measurement.

GENERAL

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsCAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion and analysis presents our results of operations and financial condition on a consolidated basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements, accompanying footnotes and supplemental financial data included herein. The emphasis of this discussion will be amounts as of September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 for the balance sheets and the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016 for the statements of income.

Because we conduct our material business operations through our bank subsidiary, Royal Business Bank, the discussion and analysis relates to activities primarily conducted by the Bank. We generate most of our revenue from interest on loans and investments and fee-based revenues. Our primary source of funding for our loans is deposits. Our largest expenses are interest on these deposits and salaries and related employee benefits. We measure our performance primarily through our net income, pre-tax and pre-loan provision earnings, net interest margin, efficiency ratio, ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans, return on average assets and return on average equity, among other metrics, while maintaining appropriate regulatory leverage and risk-based capital ratios.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report” or "Form 10-Q) contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our results of operations, financial condition and financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTINGACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements are based upon its unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The following is a summary of the more judgmental and complex accounting estimates and principles. In each area, we have identified the variables we believe are most important in our estimation process. We utilize information available to us to make the necessary estimates to value the related assets and liabilities. Actual performance that differs from our estimates and future changes in the key variables and information could change future valuations and impact the results of operations.

The investigation, which was conducted by an independent outside law firm on behalf of a special committee of the board of directors, identified violations of Company policies and procedures, including those relating to personnel decisions, as well as resulting adverse effects on officer and employee morale. The board of directors and management indicated that the violations did not have any overall adverse financial impact on the Company.

Earnings per share are calculated utilizing the two-class method. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing earnings to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method.

(2)

Efficiency ratio represents noninterest expenses, as adjusted, divided by the sum of fully taxable equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, as adjusted. Noninterest expense adjustments exclude integration and acquisition related expenses. Noninterest income adjustments exclude bargain purchase gains, realized gains or losses from the sale of investment securities, gains or losses on sale of other assets and CDFI Fund grant.

Net Interest Income

The principal component of our earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments (interest-earning assets) and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds (interest-bearing liabilities). Net interest margin is net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on average interest earning assets minus the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin and net interest spread are included on a tax equivalent (TE)(“TE”) basis by adjusting interest income utilizing the federal statutory tax rate of 35%.21% for 2022 and 2021. Our net interest income, interest spread, and net interest margin are sensitive to general business and economic conditions. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, monetary supply, and the strength of the international, national and state economies, in general, and more specifically, the local economies in which we conduct business. Our ability to manage net interest income during changing interest rate environments will have a significant impact on our overall performance. We manage net interest income through affecting changes in the mix of interest-earning assets as well as the mix of interest-bearing liabilities, changes in the level of interest-bearing liabilities in proportion to interest-earning assets, and in the growth and maturity of earning assets. SeeFor additional information see the sections on Capital Resources and Liquidity Management and Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk included herein.in this Report.

The following tables present average balance sheet information, interest income, interest expense and the corresponding average yields earned and rates paid for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.2021. The average balances are principally daily averages and, for loans, include both performing and nonperforming balances. Interest income on loans includes the effects of discount accretion and net deferred loan origination costs accounted for as yield adjustments.

Interest Rates and Operating Interest Differential

Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following tables showtable shows the effect that these factors had on the interest earned on our interest-earning assets and the interest incurred on our interest-bearing liabilities. The effect of changes in volume is determined by multiplying the change in volume by the previous period’s average rate. Similarly, the effect of rate changes is calculated by multiplying the change in average rate by the previous period’s volume. Changes which are not due solely to volume or rate have been allocated to these categories based on the respective percent changes in average volume and average rate as they compare to each other.

Results of Operations—OperationsComparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 20162021

The following discussion of our results of operations compares the three months ended September 30, 2017 to the three months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.2022.

Net Interest Income/Average Balance Sheet

Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between interest income from earning assets (primarily loans and securities) and interest expense on funding sources (primarily interest-bearing deposits and borrowings). Net interest income is impacted by the level of interest-earning assets and related funding sources, as well as changes in the levels of interest rates. The difference between the average yield on earning assets and the average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities is the net interest spread. Noninterest-bearing sources of funds, such as demand deposits and shareholders’ equity, also support earning assets. The impact of the noninterest-bearing sources of funds is captured in the net interest margin, which is calculated as net interest income divided by average earning assets.

Sheet.In the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2022, we generated $14.7$34.5 million of taxable-equivalent net interest income, which was a decreasean increase of $730,000,$5.0 million, or 4.72%17.0%, from the $15.5$29.5 million of taxable-equivalent net interest income we producedearned in the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2021. The decreaseincrease in net interest income was primarily due to an $806.9 million increase in average earning assets and a 5522 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 49 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets. The decreases in average yield on interest-earning assets and an 12the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities were primarily due to a decrease in market rates. The increase in average interest-earning assets resulted from increases in average federal funds sold and cash equivalents, investment securities and average loan balances.

Our average interest-bearing deposit balances increased by $79.6 million, primarily as a result of organic growth. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a 22 basis point increasedecrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits reflecting an increase in deposit rates, partially offset by an 8.9% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets. The increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets reflected increases in federal funds sold, cash and other equivalents and securities average balances. The increase in federal funds sold, cash equivalents and other average balances of $98.4 million is primarily due to the Company’s public offering in July 2017, runoff of loans and increased deposit production in the third quarter of 2017. The decrease in average loan balances of $24.0 million is primarily due to the runoff of loans following the acquisition of TomatoBank on February 19, 2016.  Our deposit average balances increased by $86.9 million primarily due to enhanced marketing efforts in 2017. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to increased time deposit rates.liabilities. For the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016,2021, our reported net interest margin was 3.91%3.49% and 4.48%3.73%, respectively. Our net interest margin benefits from discount accretion on our purchased loan portfolios. Our net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016,2021, excluding accretion income, would have been 3.74%3.46% and 3.67%, respectively.

Interest Income.

Total tax-equivalent interest income was $18.3$39.6 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172022 compared to $18.7$35.5 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2021. The $353,000,$4.0 million, or 1.9%11.4%, decreaseincrease in total tax-equivalent interest income was primarily due to decreasesa $806.9 million increase in purchase discount accretion,average earning assets, partially offset by increasesa 49 basis point decrease in the yield on average balances and yields on federal funds sold and other cash equivalents and securities.earning assets.

Interest and fees on HFI and HFS loans for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172022 was $17.2$37.9 million compared to $18.2$34.5 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2021. The $969,000,$3.4 million, or 5.3%9.8%, decreaseincrease was primarily due to a 37 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans partially offset by a 0.9%$241.1 million, or 8.8%, increase in the average balance of total loans outstanding. In addition interestoutstanding and feesa 4 basis point increase in the average yield on loans decreasedtotal loans. The increase in the average loan balance was primarily due to organic loan growth. Purchased loan discount accretion income totaled $246,000 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $481,000 in the thirdfirst quarter of 2016 due to lower accretion associated with purchase accounting discounts established on TomatoBank loans. Accretion income totaled $639,000 in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2016.2021. The average yield on loans benefits from discount accretion on our purchased loan portfolio. For the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016,2021, the yield on total HFI and HFS loans was 5.56%5.14% and 5.93%5.10%, respectively, while the yield on total loans excluding accretion income would have been 5.34%5.11% and 4.97%5.03%, respectively. Due to payoffs of acquired loans, we expect accretion income to continue to decline throughout 2017 in comparison to 2016. The table below illustrates by loan typethrough the accretion income for September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.  There were no additions due to acquisitions during the third quartersremainder of 2017 and 2016.2022.

The increase in SBA loan sales is a result of the Company changing the timing of our SBA loan sales. Prior to 2017, we sold the majority of our SBA loans during the fourth quarter of each year.  Beginning in 2017, we are selling SBA loans on a quarterly basis, and we intend to sell such loans through the remaining quarter of 2017 in the amount of approximately $16 million.

In the third quarter of 2017 we sold $43.4 million of single-family mortgage loans for a gain of $969,000.  In the third quarter of 2016 we sold $41.6 million of single-family mortgage loans for a gain of $892,000 million. For the fourth quarter of 2017, we plan to sell approximately $90 million of single-family mortgage loans.

Loan servicing income, net of amortization.Loan servicing income, net of amortization was $315,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $96,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in loan servicing income is due the increase in the loan servicing portfolio. The single-family residential mortgage loan servicing portfolio was $306.2 million as of September 30, 2017 compared to $230.6 million as of September 30, 2016. The SBA loan servicing portfolio was $166.1 million as of September 30, 2017 compared to $101.4 million as of September 30, 2016. The increase in the respective servicing portfolios reflect the growth in our originations and sales of single-family residential and SBA loans in 2016 and the first nine months of 2017.

Recoveries on loans acquired in business combinations. Recoveries on loans acquired in business combinations decreased $28,000 to $19,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to $47,000 in the comparable quarter of 2016. This decrease is primarily due to our having completed collections on former VCBB and FAB loans, offset slightly by new recoveries resulting from the TomatoBank acquisition.

Increase in cash surrender of life insurance. Cash surrender value increased $78,000 to $219,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to $141,000 in the third quarter in 2016 primarily due to our purchase of an additional $10.0 million in bank owned life insurance, or BOLI, in January 2017.

Gain on sale of OREO.  In the third quarter of 2017, one OREO property was sold for a gain of $142,000.


Noninterest expense increased $163,000, or 2.3%, to $7.2 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2016.  The following table sets forth the major components of our noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016:

Salaries and employee benefits. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $697,000, or 20.0%, to $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2017 compared to $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2016. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is due to additional employees in mortgage, BSA, compliance and finance/accounting (related to the Company going public), as well as normal salary increases.

Occupancy and equipment. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $61,000, or 7.9%, to $705,000 for the third quarter of 2017 compared to $766,000 for the third quarter of 2016.  The decrease is mainly due to furniture and fixture being fully depreciated in our Los Angeles headquarters and San Gabriel credit and administration locations.

Data processing. Data processing expense decreased $105,000, or 18.7%, to $458,000 for the third quarter of 2017, compared to $563,000 for the third quarter of 2016. The decrease was primarily due to discontinuing data lines that were duplicative.

Legal and professional. Legal and professional expense decreased $193,000 to $318,000 for the third quarter of 2017, compared to $511,000 for the third quarter of 2016. Prior to 2017, we would accrue the entire amount of our estimate of the legal expense for a particular matter. Beginning in 2017, we began accruing for legal expenses as such expenses are incurred.

Office expenses. Office expenses were unchanged at $153,000 in the third quarter of 2017 from the third quarter of 2016.

Marketing and business promotion. Marketing and business promotion expense increased $148,000, or 145.6%, to $250,000 in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $102,000 for the third quarter of 2016. This increase was due to additional donations to CRA organizations, as per our policy.

Insurance and regulatory assessments. Insurance and regulatory assessments decreased $83,000, or 29.2%, to $201,000 for the third quarter of 2017, compared to $284,000 for the third quarter of 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower FDIC insurance expense due to lower accrual rates after our de novo period ended. Our FDIC insurance expense was $120,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $200,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016.  Our DBO regulatory assessment was $31,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $32,000 for the same period in 2016.  Our corporate insurance was $49,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $52,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Amortization of intangibles. Amortization of intangibles totaled $87,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 versus $103,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

OREO expenses (income). Net OREO expenses were $6,000 for the third quarter of 2017, and $6,000 in the third quarter of 2016.

Other expenses. Other expenses decreased $224,000, or 21.0%, to $844,000 for the third quarter of 2017, compared to $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2016. This decrease is primarily due to a reduction in the provision for off-balance sheet commitments of $350,000, which primarily consist of commercial real estate and commercial & industrial commitments.


Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2016.  Effective tax rates were 37.8% and 41.7% in the third quarter of 2017 and the third quarter of 2016, respectively.  The decrease in income tax expense and the effective tax rate was primarily due to tax benefits recognized on stock option expense for the exercise of incentive stock options which was $310,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Net Income

Net income amounted to $6.6 million for the third quarter 2017, a $914,000 or 16.1% increase from the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to the increased gain on loan sales and net loan servicing fees.

Results of Operations—Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016

The following discussion of our results of operations compares the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.  The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Net Interest Income/Average Balance Sheet

In the first nine months of 2017, we generated net interest income of $42.3 million, a decrease of $716,000 or 1.7%, from the net interest income of the same period in 2016. This decrease was largely due to a 30 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets partially offset by 8.4% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets. The increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets was primarily due to funds from the Company’s July public offering, organic growth in commercial and industrial, construction and single-family residential mortgage loans. The decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets was primarily due to the reduction in accretion income associated with purchase accounting discounts established on loans acquired in the TomatoBank acquisition. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, our reported net interest margin was 4.00% and 4.40%, respectively. Our net interest margin benefits from discount accretion on our purchased loan portfolios. Our net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, excluding accretion income, would have been 3.75% and 3.76%, respectively.

Interest Income. Total interest income was $52.6 million for the first nine months of 2017 compared to $51.5 million for the same period in 2016. The $1.2 million, or 2.2%, increase in total interest income was due to increases in interest earned on our interest-earning balances, securities portfolio and Federal funds sold.


Interest and fees on loans (held for investment and held for sale) was $50.0 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2017 compared to $50.0 million for the same period in 2016. The $50,000, or 0.1%, decrease in interest income on loans was primarily due to a 13 basis point decrease in the yield on loans partially offset by a 2.2% increase in the average balance of loans outstanding. The increase in the average balance of loans outstanding was primarily due to organic loan growth in commercial and industrial, single-family residential mortgage loans and construction loans during 2017. The average yield on loans held for investment benefits from discount accretion on our acquired loan portfolios. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the yield on total loans was 5.55% and 5.67%, respectively, while the yield on total loans excluding accretion income would have been 5.21% and 4.92%, respectively. A substantial portion of our acquired loan portfolio that is subject to discount accretion consists of commercial real estate loans. The table below illustrates by loan type the accretion income for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016:

Interest income on our securities portfolio increased $302,000, or 48.8%, to $922,000 in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016. The increase in interest income on securities was primarily due to an increased average balance of $11.8 million, or 33.5%, and by a 27 basis point increase in the average yield on securities. We purchased $19.8 million of debt securities with an average yield of 3.39%, which includes the transfer of a corporate sub-debt loan for $1 million to investments once the loan became DTC eligible, in the first nine months of 2017. These purchases increased our average yield by changing the mix of asset classes in our securities portfolio. We have temporarily invested a portion of the proceeds received from our issuance of $50 million of subordinated notes into subordinated debt issued by other community banks and expect to deploy such funds into new loan originations over the next two years.

Interest income on our federal funds sold, cash equivalents and other investments increased $469,000, or 294.7%, to $628,000 in the first nine months of 2017 compared to $159,000 in the same period of 2016. The increase in interest income on cash equivalents was due to a 16 basis point increase in average yield of cash equivalents plus a major increase in the average balance of $71.3 million from the Company’s public offering. The main reasons for the increased yield were the increase in the federal funds rate and placing higher balances into term federal funds for liquidity management purposes.

Interest Expense. Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities increased $1.9 million, or 22.0%, to $10.4 million in in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 due to a 4.6% increase in the average balance outstanding and an 18 basis point increase in the average rate.  Deposit expense increased due to the addition of, and having TomatoBank deposits, for the full nine months in 2017 compared to four and a half months in 2016.  In addition, the sub-debt interest expense is higher because the debt was outstanding for the first nine months of 2017, compared to three months in the same period in 2016.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits increased to $7.6 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to $6.6 million in the same period in 2016. The $968,000, or 14.6%, increase in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to the average balance of deposits increasing 3.1%, combined with a 10 basis point increase in rates. The increase in the average balance of deposits resulted primarily from normal growth of deposit accounts.


Interest expense on borrowings increased to $2.7 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to $1.8 million in the same period of 2016. This increase reflected increased interest expense on subordinated notes, subordinated debentures and other borrowed funds, consisting of FHLB short-term advances of less than 90-days. The increase in interest expense on subordinated notes of $2.7 million followed the issuance of $50.0 million of subordinated notes on March 31, 2016. The increase in interest expense on subordinated debentures of $47,000 was due to a 25.9% increase in the average balance plus a 55 basis point increase in the average rate. The increase in interest expense on other borrowed funds of $5,000 was due to the average rate on these borrowings increasing 23 basis points partially offset by a 13.8% decrease in the average FHLB short-term advances during the first nine months of 2017, which were utilized to fund single-family residential mortgage loans that were originated and held for sale during the year.

Provision for (or Recapture) of Loan Losses.  In the first nine months of 2017 there was a $3.5 million net recapture in the provision for loan losses compared to $3.6 million provision expense for the same period of 2016.  The decrease was $7.1 million or 196.9%.  The recapture reflects both the receipt of a guaranteed payment on a SBA 7A guaranteed loan of $629,000 in May 2017 that was previously charged-off and the receipt of $3.6 million in July 2017 pursuant to a SBA loan guaranty that we previously fully reserved for in the allowance for loan losses.

We sold $68.9 million in SBA loans in the first nine months of 2017 compared to $27.6 million in the same period of 2016, resulting in a gain on sale of loans of $4.6 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to $1.7 million in the same period of 2016.  The increase reflects our efforts to increase our originations and sales of such loans to generate additional


noninterest income. A lower volume of single-family residential mortgage loans was sold as a result of management’s decision to retain more loans in the portfolio.  

Loan servicing income, net of amortization. Our loan servicing income, net of amortization, increased by $187,000$186,000 to $571,000$432,000 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 compared to $384,000net servicing income of $246,000 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016.  ServicingMarch 31, 2021. Loan servicing income, net of amortization increased due to higher interest rates, which affects the increasedpre-payment speeds on loans serviced. We are experiencing lower loan pre-payments in SFR loans due to higher mortgage rates. The decrease in SBA loan servicing income is due to the decrease in the volume of loans being serviced for others. We were servicing $306.2 million of single-family residential mortgage loans as of September 30, 2017 compared to $230.6 million as of December 31, 2016.

The tablestable below showshows the Company’s investment securities’ gross unrealized losses and estimated fair value by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016.2021. The unrealized losses on these securities were primarily attributed to changes in interest rates. The issuers of these securities have not, to our knowledge, evidenced any cause for default on these securities. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates have fluctuated. However, we have the ability and the intention to hold these securities until their fair values recover to cost or maturity. As such, management does not deem these securities to be other-than-temporarily-impaired A summary of our analysis of these securities and the unrealized losses is described more fully in Note 3 4 Investment Securities in the notesNotes to the 20162021 consolidated financial statements included in the Form S-1.our 2021 Annual Report. Economic trends may adversely affect the value of the portfolio of investment securities that we hold.

Small Business AdministrationSBA guaranteed loans. We are designated a Preferred Lender under the SBA Preferred Lender Program. We offer mostly SBA 7(a) variable-rate loans. We generally sell the 75% guaranteed portion of the SBA loans that we originate. Our SBA loans are typically made to small-sized manufacturing, wholesale, retail, hotel/motel and service businesses for working capital needs or business expansions. SBA loans can have any maturity up to 25 years. Typically, non-real estate secured loans mature in less than 10 years. Collateral may also include inventory, accounts receivable and equipment, and includes personal guarantees. Our unguaranteed SBA loans collateralized by real estate are monitored by collateral type and are included in our CRE Concentration Guidance.

We originate SBA loans through our branch staff, loan officers and through SBA brokers. For the first nine months of 2017, $14.8 million or 17.5% of SBA loan originations were produced by branch staff and loan officers. The remaining $66.3 million was referred to us through SBA brokers.

 


As of September 30, 2017 our SBA portfolio totaled $148.0 million of which $68.7 million is guaranteed by the SBA and $79.1 million is unguaranteed, of which $75.8 million is secured by real estate and $3.3 million is unsecured or secured by business assets. We monitor the unguaranteed portfolio by type of real estate collateral. As of September 30, 2017, $44.3 million or 56.0% is secured by hotel/motels; $11.5 million or 14.6% by gas stations; and $20.0 million or 25.3% in other real estate types. We further analyze the unguaranteed portfolio by location. As of September 30, 2017, $63.3 million or 39.8% is located in California; $3.0 million or 3.5% is located in Nevada; $23.5 million or 19.4% is located in Texas; $23.3 million or 15.6% is located in Washington; and $34.7 million or 21.7% is located in other states.

SBA loans decreased $11.0$8.5 million, or 6.9%11.1%, to $148.0$67.7 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 compared to $159.0$76.1 million at December 31, 2016. This decrease was primarily due to2021. We originated SBA loans of $11.9 million during the first three months of 2022. Partially offsetting the loan origination were loan sales of $68.9$8.3 million offset by $74.0and net loan payoffs and paydowns of $12.1 million in originations induring the first nine-monthsthree months of 2017.  In 2017, we began selling SBA loans quarterly, whereas previously, we primarily sold SBA loans annually in November of each year.2022.

Single-family residential real estate loans.

SFR Loans. We originate mainlyboth qualified and non-qualified, alternative documentation single-family residentialSFR mortgage loans through correspondent relationships or through our branch network or retail channel.channel to accommodate the needs of the Asian-American market. As of March 31, 2022, we had $1.1 billion of SFR real estate loans, representing 35.4% of our HFI loan portfolio, excluding available for sale SFR loans.

There are three non-qualified SFR loan products. The loan product is afive-year and seven-year hybrid adjustable mortgage with a current start rate of 4.6% which re-prices afterre-price at five and seven years, respectively, to the one-year LIBORConstant Maturity Treasury rate plus 2.75%. 3.00% for Primary Residences or plus 3.50% for Second Home/Investment. The start rate for the five-year hybrid is 4.00% plus 0.5% in points while the start rate for the seven-year hybrid is 4.25% plus 0.5% in points. The start rate for the 30-year fixed mortgage is 4.875% plus 0.5% in points.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, the averageweighted-average loan-to-value of the portfolio was 59.9%56.6%, the weighted average FICO score was 750761 and the average duration of the portfolio was 4.72.5 years. We also offer qualified single-family residentialSFR mortgage loans as a correspondent to a national financial institution.

We originate these non-qualified single-family residentialSFR mortgage loans both to sell and hold for investment. The loans held for investment are generally originated through our retail branch network to our customers, many of whom establish a deposit relationshipsrelationship with us. Duringus and by correspondent relationships. At this time, we are not selling non-qualified SFR mortgages.

Except for SFR loans sold to FNMA or in connection with a securitization, the loans are sold with no representation or warranties and with a replacement feature for the first nine-months90-days if the loan pays off early. As a condition of 2017,the sale, the buyer must have the loans audited for underwriting and compliance standards. We originate qualified mortgages and sell them directly to FNMA. These loans are underwritten under FNMA guidelines and sold with the normal FNMA conditions. In addition, we originated $113.1 millionmay sell some of such loans through our retail channel and $173.7 million through our correspondent channel. We sell many of these non-qualified single-family residentialSFR mortgage loans to other Asian-American banks. While our loan salesFNMA in a bulk sale with limited recourse to date have been primarily to two banks, we expect to be expanding our network of banks who will purchase our single-family loan product.us.

The increasedecrease in loans held for sale is mainlyprimarily due to a decrease in selling single-family residential mortgage loans in the first quarterloan sales.

Loan Quality

We use what we believe is a comprehensive methodology to monitor credit quality and prudently manage credit concentration within our loan portfolio. Our underwriting policies and practices govern the risk profile and credit and geographic concentration for our loan portfolio. We also have what we believe to be a comprehensive methodology to monitor these credit quality standards, including a risk classification system that identifies potential problem loans based on risk characteristics by loan type as well as the early identification of deterioration at the individual loan level. In addition to our allowance for loan losses, our purchase discounts on acquired loans provide additional protections against creditloan losses.

Discounts on Purchased Loans. At acquisitionIn connection with our acquisitions, we hire a third-party to determine the fair value of loans acquired. In many of the casesinstances, fair values were determined by estimating the cash flows expected to result from those loans and discounting them at appropriate market rates. The excess of expected cash flows above the fair value of the majority of loans will be accreted to interest income over the remaining lives of the loans in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC 310-20.

None of the loans we acquired after 2011 had evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination for which it was probable, at acquisition, that the Company would be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. Loans acquired that had evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination are referred to as PCI (“purchase credit impaired”) loans.310-20, ReceivablesNonrefundable Fees and Other Costs.

 


With our acquisitions of FAB and VCBB, we acquired $16.7 million contractual amount due with a fair value of $9.7 million of PCI loans. The outstanding balance and carrying amount of PCI loans as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $324,000 and $316,000 and $878,000 and $730,000, respectively. For these PCI loans, the Company did not record an allowance for loan losses for 2017 or 2016 as there were no significant reductions in the expected cash flows.

The allowance and the balance of accretable credit discounts represent our estimate of probable and reasonably estimable creditloan losses inherent in loans held for investment as of the respective balance sheet date.

Allowance for loan losses. Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses includes a general allowance for performing loans, which are grouped based on similar characteristics, and a specific allowance for individual impaired loans or loans considered by management to be in a high-risk category. General allowances are established based on a number of factors, including historical loss rates, an assessment of portfolio trends and conditions, accrual status and economic conditions.

For commercial and industrial, SBA, commercial real estate, construction and land development and single family residentialSFR mortgage loans held for investment, a specific allowance may be assigned to individual loans based on an impairment analysis. Loans are considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The amount of impairment is based on an analysis of the most probable source of repayment, including the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows, the estimated market value or the fair value of the underlying collateral. Interest income on impaired loans is accrued as earned, unless the loan is placed on nonaccrual status.

 


Credit-discount on loans purchased through acquisition. bank acquisitions. Purchased loans are recorded at market value in two categories, credit discount, and liquidity discount and premiums. The remaining credit discount at the end of a period is compared to the analysis for loan losses for each acquisition. If the credit discount is greater than the expected loss no additional provision is needed. The following table shows our credit discounts by loan portfolio for purchased loans only as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016.2021. We have recorded additional reserves of $221,000$1.4 million due to the credit discounts on the LANB acquisitionsacquired loans being less than the analysis for loan losses on those acquisitions as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2022.

Individual loans considered to be uncollectible are charged off against the allowance. Factors used in determining the amount and timing of charge-offs on loans include consideration of the loan type, length of delinquency, sufficiency of collateral value, lien priority and the overall financial condition of the borrower. Collateral value is determined using updated appraisals and/or other market comparable information. Charge-offs are generally taken on loans once the impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the allowance. Net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans were (0.06)%0.00% and none0.01% for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016 and (0.07)% and 0.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2021, respectively.

The allowance for loan losses was $11.4$33.3 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 compared to $14.2$32.9 million at December 31, 2016.2021. The $2.7 million decrease at September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016$380,000 increase was due to receipt of a guaranteed payment on a SBA 7A guaranteed loan of $629,000 in May 2017 that was previously charged-off and the receipt of $3.6 million in July 2017 pursuant to a SBA loan guaranty that we previously fully reserved for in the allowance for loan losses plus the $700,000$366,000 loan loss provision for the third quarter of 2017.driven by loan growth and $14,000 in net recoveries.

We analyze the loan portfolio, including delinquencies, concentrations, and risk characteristics, at least quarterly in order to assess the overall level of the allowance and nonaccretable discounts. We also rely on internal and external loan review procedures to further assess individual loans and loan pools, and economic data for overall industry and geographic trends.

In determining the allowance and the related provision for loancredit losses, we consider three principal elements: (i) valuation allowances based upon probable losses identified during the review of impaired commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, construction and land development loans, (ii) allocations, by loan classes, on loan portfolios based on historical loan loss experience and qualitative factors and (iii) review of the credit discounts in relationship to the valuation allowance calculated for purchased loans. Provisions for loancredit losses are charged to operations to record changes to the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by us.

Problem Loans. Loans are considered delinquent when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more; delinquent loans may remain on accrual status between 30 days and 89 days past due. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Typically, the accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when principal or interest payments are past due 90 days or when, in the opinion of management, there is a reasonable doubt as to collectability in the normal course of business. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on nonaccrual loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received and the loan’s principal balance is deemed collectible. Loans are restored to accrual status when loans become well-secured and management believes full collectability of principal and interest is probable.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include loans on nonaccrual status and performing restructured loans. Income from loans on nonaccrual status is recognized to the extent cash is received and when the loan’s principal balance is deemed collectible. Depending on a particular loan’s circumstances, we measure impairment of a loan based upon either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is considered collateral dependent when repayment of the loan is based solely on the liquidation of the collateral. Fair value, where possible, is determined by independent appraisals, typically on an annual basis. Between appraisal periods, the fair value may be adjusted based on specific events, such as if deterioration of quality of the collateral comes to our attention as part of our problem loan monitoring process, or if discussions with the borrower lead us to believe the last appraised value no longer reflects the actual market for the collateral. The impairment amount on a collateral-dependent loan is charged-off to the allowance if deemed not collectible and the impairment amount on a loan that is not collateral-dependent is set up as a specific reserve.

In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and we make certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring, or TDR. These concessions may include a reduction of the interest rate, principal or accrued interest, extension of the maturity date or other actions intended to minimize potential losses. Loans restructured at a rate equal to or greater than that of a new loan with comparable risk at the time the loan is modified may be excluded from restructured loan disclosures in years subsequent to the restructuring if the loans are in compliance with their modified terms. A restructured loan is considered impaired despite its accrual status and a specific reserve is calculated based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell if the loan is collateral dependent.

 

Pursuant to recent regulatory guidance, we have elected under the CARES Act to not apply GAAP requirements to loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR, and have suspended the determination of loan modifications related to the pandemic from being treated as TDRs. Modifications include the following: (1) forbearance agreements, (2) interest-rate modifications, (3) repayment plans, and (4) any other similar arrangements that defer or delay payments of principal or interest. The relief from TDR guidance applies to modifications of loans that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019, and that occur beginning on March 1, 2020, until January 1, 2022. The suspension of TDR accounting and reporting guidance may not be applied to any loan of a borrower that is not related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Real estate we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as OREO until sold, and is carried at the balance of the loan at the time of foreclosure or at estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell, whichever is less.sell.

The following table sets forth the allocation of our nonperforming assets among our different asset categories as of the dates indicated. Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest (of which there were none during the periods presented), and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings.TDRs. Nonperforming loans exclude PCI loans. The balances of nonperforming loans reflect the net investment in these assets.

We utilize an asset risk classification system in compliance with guidelines established by the FDIC as part of our efforts to improve asset quality. In connection with examinations of insured institutions, examiners have the authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, classify them. There are three classifications for problem assets: “substandard,” “doubtful,” and “loss.” Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full questionable and there is a high probability of loss based on currently existing facts, conditions and values. An asset classified as loss is not considered collectable and is of such little value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

We use a risk grading system to categorize and determine the credit risk of our loans. Potential problem loans include loans with a risk grade of 6, which are “special mention,” loans with a risk grade of 7, which are “substandard” loans that are generally not considered to be impaired and loans with a risk grade of 8, which are “doubtful” loans generally considered to be impaired. These loans generally require more frequent loan officer contact and receipt of financial data to closely monitor borrower performance. Potential problem loans are managed and monitored regularly through a number of processes, procedures and committees, including oversight by a loan administration committee comprised of executive officers and other members of the Bank’s senior management.

COVID-19 Impact on Loan Quality.  We decreased SBA lending during the first quarter of 2022 as the Bank’s SBA’s PPP Program ended on May 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has approximately 14 PPP loans with the SBA in the total amount of approximately $2.6 million, or 0.08%, of the Company’s total HFI loan portfolio.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had no loans deferred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $47.3decreased $344.6 million, or 39.9%49.6%, to $166.1$349.8 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 as compared to $118.7$694.4 million at December 31, 2016.2021. This increasedecrease was primarily due to $223.3$33.1 million ofin cash from financingoperating activities, primarily $60.2 million from the issuance of common stock (net of expenses), net increases in deposits of $178.6 million, partially offset by funds$307.0 million used in investmentfinancing activities of $155.8 million.and $70.8 million used in investing activities.

 


The Federal Reserve announced the reduction of the reserve requirement ratio to zero percent across all deposit tiers, effective March 26, 2020. Depository institutions that were required to maintain deposits in a Federal Reserve Bank account to satisfy reserve requirements will no longer be required to do so and can use the additional liquidity to lend to individuals and businesses. It is our understanding that the Federal Reserve currently has no current plans to reinstate the reserve requirement. However, the Federal Reserve may adjust reserve requirement ratios in the future if conditions warrant.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill was $29.9$71.5 million and $69.2 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016,2021, respectively.  Goodwill in the amount of $2.3 million was recorded due to the Honolulu, Hawaii branch acquisition in the first of quarter of 2022.  Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Our otherOther intangible assets, which consistconsists of core deposit intangibles,CDI, were $1.5$4.5 million and $1.8$4.1 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016,2021, respectively. TheseCDI of $729,000 was recorded due to the Hawaii branch purchase in the first of quarter of 2022. The CDI assets are amortized primarily on an accelerated basis over their estimated useful lives, generally over a period of 3eight to 10ten years.

On February 17, 2016, we completed the TFC acquisition. At closing, the acquired entity primarily consisted of TomatoBank, and $5.2 million of subordinated debentures. TomatoBank provided commercial and retail banking services primarily to Asian-Americans through six branches in the metro Los Angeles area.

We acquired TFC for $86.7 million in cash. The identifiable assets acquired of $469.9 million and liabilities assumed of $409.1 million were recorded at fair value. The identifiable assets acquired included the establishment of a $1.7 million core deposit intangible, which is being amortized on an accelerated basis over 8 to 10 years. Based upon the acquisition date fair values of the net assets acquired, we recorded $25.9 million of goodwill in our consolidated balance sheet.

Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $168.4decreased by $212.8 million to $1.4$3.5 billion or 13.9%, at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 from $3.8 billion at December 31, 2016,2021, primarily due to deposit growth.$217.3 million decrease in deposits.

Deposits. As a Chinese-American business bank that focuses on successful businesses and their owners, many of our depositors choose to leavemake large deposits with us. The Bank measures core deposits by reviewing all relationships over $250,000 on a quarterly basis. After discussions with our regulators on the proper way to measure core deposits, we nowWe track all deposit relationships over $250,000 on a quarterly basis and consider a relationship to be core if there are any three or more of the following: (i) relationships with us (as a director or shareholder); (ii) deposits within our market area; (iii) additional non-deposit services with us; (iv) electronic banking services with us; (v) active demand deposit account with us; (vi) deposits at market interest rates; and (vii) longevity of the relationship with us. We consider all deposit relationships under $250,000 as a core relationship except for time deposits originated through an internet service. This differs from the traditional definition of core deposits which is demand and savings deposits plus time deposits less than $250,000. As many of our customers have more than $250,000 on deposit with us, we believe that using this method reflects a more accurate assessment of our deposit base. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, the Bank considers $1.0$2.6 billion or 79.4%82.5%, of our deposits as core relationships.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, our top ten deposit relationships totaled $319.5$730.0 million, of which four areone is related to directors and shareholders of the Company for a total of $104.2$39.5 million, or 32.6%approximately 5.4% of our top ten deposit relationships. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, our directors and shareholders with deposits over $250,000 totaled $194.9$62.7 million, or 18.4%2.8%, of all relationships over $250,000.

Capital Resources and Liquidity Management

Capital Resources. Shareholders’ equity is influenced primarily by earnings, dividends, sales and redemptions of common stock and preferred stock and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income caused primarily by fluctuations in unrealized holding gains or losses, net of taxes, on available for sale investment securities.

Shareholders’ equity increased $78.7decreased $1.9 million, or 43.4%0.4%, to $260.3$464.8 million during the first nine monthsthree-month period ending March 31, 2022 due to $2.7 million of 2017 as $60.2common stock dividends, $5.7 million from the July public offering, $20.6repurchase of common stock and a $8.7 million ofdecrease in net income, $268,000 of additional paid in capital and $130,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive income exceeded $3.8 million of common dividends declared.income.

On July 27, 2017, we completed our initial public offering of 3,750,000 shares at a price to the public of $23.00 per share and a total offering size of $86,250,000. The offering was originally 3,000,000 shares but due to demand, we increased it to 3,750,000 shares. RBB Bancorp sold 2,857,756 shares and the selling shareholders sold 892,244 shares of RBB Bancorp’s common stock. The offering resulted in gross proceeds to RBB Bancorp of approximately $65.7 million. RBB Bancorp contributed $25 million of the net proceeds received from this offering to the Bank. Our stock now trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “RBB”.  The increase to capital net of expenses is approximately $60.2 million.

Liquidity Management. Liquidity refers to the measure of our ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while at the same time meeting our operating, capital and strategic cash flow needs, all at a reasonable cost. We continuously monitor our liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all short-term and long-term cash requirements. We manage our liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of customers, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of our shareholders.

Our liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Liquid assets include cash, interest-earninginterest-bearing deposits in banks, federal funds sold, available for sale securities, term federal funds, purchased receivables and maturing or prepaying balances in our securities and loan portfolios. Liquid liabilities include core deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and other borrowings. Other sources of liquidity include the sale of loans, the ability to acquire additional national market noncorenon-core deposits, the issuance of additional collateralized borrowings such as FHLB advances, the issuance of debt securities, additional borrowings through the Federal Reserve’s discount window and the issuance of preferred or common securities. Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily to fund on-going operations, including payment of interest on deposits and debt, extensions of credit to borrowers, capital expenditures and shareholder dividends. These liquidity requirements are met primarily through cash flow from operations, redeployment of prepaying and maturing balances in our loan and investment portfolios, debt financing and increases in customer deposits. For additional information regarding our operating, investing and financing cash flows, see the consolidated statements of cash flows provided in our consolidated financial statements.

Integral to our liquidity management is the administration of short-term borrowings. To the extent we are unable to obtain sufficient liquidity through core deposits, we seek to meet our liquidity needs through wholesale funding or other borrowings on either a short- or long-term basis.

As of September 30, 2017both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016,2021, we had $47.0 million and $49.0$92.0 million of unsecured federal funds lines respectively, with no amounts advanced against the lines as of such dates. In addition, lines of credit from the Federal Reserve Discount Window were $18.0 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and $22.3 million at December 31, 2016 were $15.2 million and $15.0 million,2021, respectively. Federal Reserve Discount Window lines were collateralized by a pool of commercial real estate loans totaling $25.3$22.7 million and $25.6$33.2 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016,2021, respectively. We did not have any borrowings outstanding with the Federal Reserve at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 20162021, and our borrowing capacity is limited only by eligible collateral.

The Company

RBB is a corporation separate and apart from the Bank and, therefore, must provide for its own liquidity. The Company’sRBB’s main source of funding is dividends declared and paid to usRBB by the Bank and RAM. There are statutory, regulatory and debt covenant limitations that affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company.RBB. Management believes that these limitations will not impact our ability to meet ourthe Company’s ongoing short-term cash obligations.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking regulators. Failure to meet regulatory capital requirements may result in certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for “prompt corrective action” (described below), we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting policies.

 


In the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008 and 2009,2008-2009, the role of capital has become fundamentally more important, as banking regulators have concluded that the amount and quality of capital held by banking organizations was insufficient to absorb losses during periods of severely distressed economic conditions. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, and new banking regulations promulgated by the U.S. federal banking regulators to implement Basel III have established strengthened capital standards for banks and bank holding companies and require more capital to be held in the form of common stock. These provisions, which generally became applicable to the CompanyRBB and the Bank on January 1, 2015, impose meaningfully more stringent regulatory capital requirements than those applicable to the CompanyRBB and the Bank prior to that date. In addition, the Basel III regulations will implementimplemented a concept known as the “capital conservation buffer.” In general, banks and bank holding companies will beare required to hold a buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets over each minimum capital ratio to avoid being subject to limits on capital distributions (e.g., dividends, stock buybacks, etc.) and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. For community banks, the capital conservation buffer requirement commenced on January 1, 2016, with a gradual phase-in. Full compliance with the capital conservation buffer will bewas required by January 1, 2019.

The table below summarizes the minimum capital requirements applicable to usRBB and the Bank pursuant to Basel III regulations as of the dates reflected and assuming the capital conservation buffer has been fully-phased in. The minimum capital requirements are only regulatory minimums and banking regulators can impose higher requirements on individual institutions. For example, banks and bank holding companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions generally will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels. Higher capital levels may also be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual banking organizations. The table below also summarizes the capital requirements applicable to usRBB and the Bank in order to be considered “well-capitalized” from a regulatory perspective, as well as ourRBB’s and the Bank’s capital ratios as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016. We2021. RBB and the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements under Basel III and werethe Bank was considered to be “well-capitalized” as of the dates reflected in the table below:

The common equity tier 1 risk-based ratio, or CET1, is a new ratio created by the Basel III regulations beginning January 1, 2015.

The Basel III regulations also reviserevised the definition of capital and describe the capital components and eligibility criteria for common equity Tier 1 capital, additional Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. The most significant changes to the capital criteria arewere that: (i) the prior concept of unrestricted Tier 1 capital and restricted Tier 1 capital has been replaced with additional Tier 1 capital and a regulatory capital ratio that is based on common equity Tier 1 capital; and (ii) trust preferred securities and cumulative perpetual preferred stock issued after May 19, 2010 no longer qualify as Tier 1 capital. This change is already effective due to the Dodd-Frank Act, although such instruments issued prior to May 19, 2010 continue to qualify as Tier 1 capital (assuming they qualified as such under the prior regulatory capital standards)standards and that the asset size of the issuer does not exceed $15 billion), subject to the 25% of Tier 1 capital limit.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have limited off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into financial commitments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial commitments include commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, commercial and similar letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk not recognized in the Company’s financial statements.

The Company’s exposure to loan loss in the event of nonperformance on these financial commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for loans reflected in theits financial statements.

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. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each client’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial measures included in this Form 10-Qherein are not measures of financial performance recognized by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include “tangible common equity to tangible assets,” “tangible book value per share,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “adjusted earnings,” “adjusted diluted earnings per share,” “adjusted return on average assets,” and “adjusted return on average tangible common equity.”equity”. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of our performance.

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets Ratio and Tangible Book Value Per Share. The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio and tangible book value per share are non-GAAP measures generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate capital adequacy. We calculate: (i) tangible common equity as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights); (ii) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets; and (iii) tangible book value per share as tangible common equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding.

 

Our management, banking regulators, many financial analysts and other investors use these measures in conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets, which typically stem from the use of the purchase accounting method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions. Tangible common equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per share and related measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total shareholders’ equity, total assets, book value per share or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate tangible common equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per share and any other related measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. The following table reconciles shareholders’ equity (on a GAAP basis) to tangible common equity and total assets (on a GAAP basis) to tangible assets, and calculates our tangible book value per share:

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity. Management measures return on average tangible common equity (ROATCE)(“ROATCE”) to assess the Company’s capital strength and business performance. Tangible equity excludes goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights), and is reviewed by banking and financial institution regulators when assessing a financial institution’s capital adequacy. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Regulatory Reporting to Financial Statements

Some of the financial measures included in this prospectus differ from those reported on the FRB Y-9(c) report. These financial measures include “core deposits to total deposits” and “net non-core funding dependency ratio”. Our management uses these financial measures in its analysis of our performance.


Core Deposits to Total Deposits Ratio. and Non-core Funding Dependency. The Bank measures core deposits by reviewing all relationships over $250,000 on a quarterly basis. After discussions with our regulators on the proper way to measure core deposits, we nowWe track all deposit relationships over $250,000 on a quarterly basis and consider a relationship to be core if there are any three or more of the following: (i) relationships with us (as a director or shareholder); (ii) deposits within our market area; (iii) additional non-deposit services with us; (iv) electronic banking services with us; (v) active demand deposit account with us; (vi) deposits at market interest rates; and (vii) longevity of the relationship with us. We consider all deposit relationships under $250,000 as a core relationship except for time deposits originated through an internet service. This differs from the traditional definition of core deposits which is demand and savings deposits plus time deposits less than $250,000. As many of our customers have more than $250,000 on deposit with us, we believe that using this method reflects a more accurate assessment of our deposit base. The following table reconciles the adjusted core deposit to total deposits.deposits and the adjusted net non-core dependency ratio.

Net Non-Core Funding Dependency Ratio. Management measures net non-core funding dependency ratio by using the data provided under “Core Deposits to Total Deposits Ratio” on page 65 to make adjustments to the traditional definition of net non-core funding dependency ratio. The traditional net non-core funding dependency ratio measures non-core funding sources less short term assets divided by total earning assets. The ratio indicates the dependency of the Company on non-core funding. The following table reconciles the adjusted net non-core dependency ratio.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk. Market riskRisk represents the risk of loss due to changes in market values of assets and liabilities. We incur market risk in the normal course of business through exposures to market interest rates, equity prices, and credit spreads. We have identified two primary sources of market risk: interest rate risk and price risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Overview. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and value arising from changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from timing differences in the repricings and maturities of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (repricing risk), changes in the expected maturities of assets and liabilities arising from embedded options, such as borrowers’ ability to prepay residential mortgage loans at any time and depositors’ ability to redeem certificates of deposit before maturity (option risk), changes in the shape of the yield curve where interest rates increase or decrease in a nonparallel fashion (yield curve risk), and changes in spread relationships between different yield curves, such as U.S. Treasuries and LIBOR (basis risk).

Our asset liability committee or ALCO("ALCO"), establishes broad policy limits with respect to interest rate risk. ALCO establishes specific operating guidelines within the parameters of the board of directors’ policies. In general, we seek to minimize the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and the economic values of assets and liabilities. Our ALCO meets monthly to monitor the level of interest rate risk sensitivity to ensure compliance with the board of directors’ approved risk limits.

Interest rate risk management is an active process that encompasses monitoring loan and deposit flows complemented by investment and funding activities. Effective management of interest rate risk begins with understanding the dynamic characteristics of assets and liabilities and determining the appropriate interest rate risk posture given business forecasts, management objectives, market expectations, and policy constraints.

An asset sensitive position refers to a balance sheet position in which an increase in short-term interest rates is expected to generate higher net interest income, as rates earned on our interest-earning assets would reprice upward more quickly than rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, thus expanding our net interest margin. Conversely, a liability sensitive position refers to a balance sheet position in which an increase in short-term interest rates is expected to generate lower net interest income, as rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities would reprice upward more quickly than rates earned on our interest-earning assets, thus compressing our net interest margin.

Income Simulation and Economic Value Analysis.

Interest rate risk measurement is calculated and reported to the board and ALCO at least quarterly. The information reported includes period-end results and identifies any policy limits exceeded, along with an assessment of the policy limit breach and the action plan and timeline for resolution, mitigation, or assumption of the risk.

We use two approaches to model interest rate risk: Net Interest Income at Risk or ("NII at Risk,Risk") and Economic Value of Equity or EVE.("EVE"). Under NII at Risk, net interest income is modeled utilizing various assumptions for assets, liabilities, and derivatives. EVE measures the period end market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities and the change in this value as rates change. EVE is a period end measurement.

We report NII at Risk to isolate the change in income related solely to interest earning assets and interest- bearinginterest-bearing liabilities. The NII at Risk results included in the table above reflect the analysis used quarterly by management. It models gradualimmediate -200, -100, +100 and +200 basis point parallel shifts in market interest rates, implied by the forward yield curve over the next one-year period. Due to the current low level of short-term interest rates, the analysis reflects a declining interest rate scenario of 100 basis points, the point at which many assets and liabilities reach zero percent.

 

We are within board policy limits for the +/-100 and +200+/-200 basis point scenarios. The NII at Risk reported at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, projects that our earnings are expected to be materiallyslightly asset sensitive to changes in interest rates over the next year. In recent periods, the amount of fixedfloating rate assets increased, resulting in a position shift from interest rate neutral to slightly asset sensitive to asset sensitive.

The EVE results included in the table above reflect the analysis used quarterly by management. It models immediate +/-100 +100 and +200+/-200 basis point parallel shifts in market interest rates. Due to the current low level of short-term interest rates, the analysis reflects a declining interest rate scenario of 100 basis points, the point at which many assets and liabilities reach zero percent.

We are within board policy limits for the +/-100+100 and +200+/-200 basis point scenarios. The EVE for the -100 basis point scenario is slightly out of compliance, primarily due to a large deposit over the quarter-end and the amount of borrowings we have at the holding company. The likelihood that interest rates decrease further or become negative is small, in management's opinion. Therefore, this scenario is considered remote. The EVE reported at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 projects that as interest rates increase immediately, the economic value of equity position will be expected to increase.increase slightly. When interest rates rise, fixed rate assets generally lose economic value; the longer the duration, the greater the value lost. The opposite is true when interest rates fall.

Price Risk. Price riskRisk represents the risk of loss arising from adverse movements in the prices of financial instruments that are carried at fair value and subject to fair value accounting. We have price risk from our available for sale single-family residentialSFR mortgage loans and our fixed-rate available for sale securities.

Basis Risk. Basis riskRisk represents the risk of loss arising from asset and liability pricing movements not changing in the same direction. We have basis risk in our single-family residentialSFR mortgage loan portfolio and our securities portfolio.
