Forward-looking statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will,” “is designed to” and similar expressions. We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all forward-looking statements.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all footnotes that would be required for a full presentation of financial condition, results of operations, changes in cash flows and comprehensive income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). However, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) which, in the opinion of our management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with prior periods, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016,2019, and the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2019, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on March 14, 2017.19, 2020.

Our condensed consolidated financial condition at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of what our financial condition will be as ofat December 31, 2017,2020, or of the results of our operations that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017.2020.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

ReclassificationsRestricted Cash

Certain reclassificationsInterest-bearing deposits in banks that mature within one year are carried at cost. $150 thousand of prior year balances have been madethese deposits are held by the Bank jointly under the names of Bank of Guam and the Guam Insurance Commissioner, and serve as a bond for the Bank of Guam Trust Department.

COVID-19

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were issued. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic, which continues to conformspread throughout the United States and around the world. The declaration of a global pandemic indicates that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The outbreak of COVID-19 could adversely impact a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the current year presentation.Company. On March 3, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee reduced the target range for federal funds by 50 basis points to 1.00% - 1.25%. This rate was further reduced to a target range of 0% - 0.25% on March 16, 2020. These reclassifications had no impact onreductions in interest rates and other effects of the COVID-19 outbreak may adversely affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or net change in cashcondition and cash equivalents. The reclassification relates to an allocation of the allowance for loan losses to impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment from the allowance associated with loans collectively evaluated for impairment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which simplifies the principles applied to income taxes on stock compensation, including the timing of recognition, the classification of tax benefits or deficiencies on the statement of cash flows, the treatment of those taxes on the income statement, and the measurement of liability-classified awards at fair value or intrinsic value. Although this standard was adopted effective January 1, 2017, the Company has issued no stock options or phantom stock options to date, so this update has had no impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operation at this time.


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”, which amends ASU 2014-02 by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, which had required a quantitative measure of each reporting unit’s goodwill by comparing the implied fair value to the carrying amount of that goodwill.  As the Company has never had to conduct a Step 2 evaluation of goodwill, this update had no effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Although adoptionAs a result of the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, economic uncertainties have risen which are likely to negatively impact net interest income and noninterest income.

Due to the Company’s concerns for the health and safety of its customers and employees, the Bank has temporarily closed one of its branches in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and ten of its branches in Guam (including one that closed permanently in April 2020), and limited the number of customers allowed to be in its remaining facilities at any one time to 50. The Bank has also implemented a telecommuting program for those personnel who are able to perform their responsibilities remotely, provided the computer hardware and software needed to support those tasks, and established teleconferencing capabilities to reduce the number of people in attendance at all of its larger group meetings. In recognition of the potential difficulties that may be faced by our commercial and consumer customers, the Bank initiated a temporary program in March 2020 under which affected customers may have their loan payments deferred or otherwise adjusted. As of the date of this standardfiling, the current program applies to both commercial and consumer loans, and only for a period of 90 days. Although these actions taken in response to the heightened risks posed by COVID-19 are costly, it is not requiredpossible at the time of this filing to estimate the final consequences of these impacts on economic performance or the results of the Company until January 1, 2020, we adopted the update effective March 31, 2017.Company’s operations, its financial condition or its cash flows.

Recently Issued but Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. Among other objectives, it is intended to provide more useful information to the users of financial statements by making the definition and recognition of revenue more comparable across reporting entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. As deferred by ASU No. 2015-14, this Standard is effective January 1, 2018, upon which date we will implement it. We are currently reviewing contracts with customers that would be subject to this update, and as we do so we will continue to evaluate the prospective impact of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information and to address certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of the fair value, including impairment assessments, of financial instruments. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-01 on the presentation of and disclosure related to our consolidated financial statements which is effective beginning January 1, 2018.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, a new Topic which, is effective beginning January 1, 2019,as modified by ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-12, is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements on the basis that it is important that users of financial statements have a complete and understandable picture of an entity’s leasing activities. These ASUs were effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is anticipating electingadopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 on its effective date and has elected to not restate prior periods, presenting the cumulative effect of applying the new standard within the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2019. The new standard allows for several transition practical expedients. The Company has chosen to elect the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company to forgo reassessing lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company will apply the hindsight practical expedient when evaluating the lease term and assessing impairment of Right of Usage (“ROU”) assets. The Company also elected to combine the lease and non-lease components, such as maintenance fees, as a single lease component and elected to use the remaining lease term instead of total lease term in determining the incremental borrowing rate. The Company has made an accounting policy election to not recognize lease liabilities and ROU assets for short-term leases, which are leases with initial terms of 12 months or less and for which there is not a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised. All leases within the Company’s portfolio are classified as operating leases. On adoption, the Company recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases of $32.6 million and $32.4 million, respectively, with no cumulative effect in retained earnings, which are included in other assets and other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)”. This update allows a termreclassification for stranded tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of twelve months or less. UponDecember 22, 2017, and is intended to improve the usefulness of information reported to the users of financial statements. The effective date of this update is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Although adoption of this ASU,standard is not required of the Company will recognize, in the statement of financial position, a liability representing the present value of future lease payments (the lease liability)until January 1, 2020, early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019, and anreclassified $496 thousand from deferred tax asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. We are reviewing the outstanding lease documents and will continue to evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.retained earnings at March 31, 2019.

Recently Issued but Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)”, to amend the standards for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments by replacing the historical incurred loss impairment methodology of determining the level of the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL)(“ALLL”), including losses associated with held-to-maturityavailable-for-sale securities, with a more decision-useful methodology that reflects expected credit losses over the life of a financial instrument based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in determining the ALLL level, as well as the reserve for off-balance-sheet credit exposures. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions ofwas preparing to implement ASU 2016-13 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on our Consolidate Financial Statements, and has taken steps for the implementation when it becomeswas scheduled to become effective beginning January 1, 2020, such as gathering pertinent data, consulting with outside professionals and evaluating its current IT systems.but the FASB announced on October 16, 2019, a delay of the effective date for smaller reporting companies until January 1, 2023. Management expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet estimate the magnitude of the one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2017,2020, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, 2020-04, "“Compensation – Retirement BenefitsReference Rate Reform (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”. This update requires that the service cost component848), Facilitation of the Bank’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (SERP) be recorded and reported separately fromEffects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting," which provides temporary optional expedients to ease the other cost component(s), in the same line item as other compensation costs related to services rendered by the beneficiary employees during thefinancial reporting period. The Company currently reports both the service cost and the other cost component(s) as a portion of General, administrative and other expense, whereas this update will require that the service cost component be reported as a portion of Salaries and employee benefits. This update also requires that the detailsburdens of the components of the SERPexpected market transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to an alternative reference rate such as Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be reported for the interim periods, in addition to the annual reporting of these costs.applied through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine the date of adoption and the impact of ASU 2017-07 on our consolidated financial statements which is effective beginning January 1, 2018.

Also in March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities”. This update shortens the amortization period of a callable security that is held at a premium to the earliest call date of that security instead of the contractual life of the security. Although the Company does not currently hold any callable securities at a premium, we may do so in the future. Unless such securities are purchased by us, we do not believe that ASU 2017-08 will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements effective beginning January 1, 2019.Company.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”, which clarifies the application of the guidance in Topic 718 on stock compensation in order to reduce the diversity in practice and to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the Topic to a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. Although this standard will be adopted effective January 1, 2018, the Company has issued no stock options or phantom stock options to date, so this update is expected to have no impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operation at this time.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities by contractual maturity at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016,2019, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or borrowers the right to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies with amortized costs totaling $596.0$429.4 million consist predominantly of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) agency pool securities totaling $331.5$182.9 million and residential mortgage-backed securities totaling $114.0$169.2 million whose contractual maturity, or principal repayment, will follow the repayment of the underlying small business loans or mortgages. For purposes of the following table, the entire outstanding balance of these SBA Poolspools and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government corporations and agencies is categorized based on final maturity date. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Bank estimates the average remaining life of these SBA Poolspools and mortgage-backed securities to be each approximately 5.50 years and 3.862.7 years, respectively.

The investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2017, whichMarch 31, 2020, comprised a total of 15268 Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Pool securities, which were not other-than-temporarily impaired.  Specifically, the 152 securities are comprised of the following: 93 Small Business Administration (SBA) Pool securities, 22 mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), 18 U.S. Treasuries, 8 mortgage-backed securities, 7 agency securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and 1 agency security issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), 1 mortgage-backed security and 1 step up bond issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), and 1 agency security issued by Federal Farm Credit Banks (FFCB).

Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to any change in the credit quality of the investment securities. In addition, these securities and their repayment are sponsored by the U.S. Government or its various agencies and therefore, it is unlikely that they will ever be settled for less than par. The Company does not intend to sell the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investment securities before recovery of their amortized cost, which may be at maturity. However, the Company may elect to sell certain investment securities with an unrealized loss position in its “available for sale” portfolio as needed to replenish its liquidity.

Paycheck Protection Program

With the passage of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), the Bank is actively participating in assisting its customers with applications for resources through the program. PPP loans have a two-year term and earn interest at 1%. The Bank believes that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. As of April 30, 2020, the Bank has approved over $90.0 million in PPP loans. The Bank has already funded a portion of the PPP loans in April 2020 and expects to fully fund them by the end of May 2020. It is the Bank’s understanding that loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. Should those circumstances change, the Bank could be required to establish additional allowance for loan loss through additional credit loss expense charged to earnings.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by Bank management, and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or conditions change.

The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. ASC 310-10 defines an impaired loan as one for which there is uncertainty concerning collection of all principal and interest balances per the original contractual terms of the loan. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flow (or the collateral value or the observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of the loan. The general component covers unimpaired loans, and is estimated using a loss migration analysis based on historical charge-off experience and expected loss, given the default probability derived from the Bank’s internal risk rating process. The loss migration analysis tracks twelve rolling quarters of loan loss history and industry loss factors to determine historical losses by classification category for each loan type, except certain consumer loans. These calculated loss factors are then applied to outstanding loan balances for all non-impaired loans. Additionally, a qualitative factor that is determined utilizing external economic factors and internal assessments is applied to each homogeneous loan pool. We also conduct individual loan review analyses, as part of the allowance for loan loss allocation process, applying specific monitoring policies and procedures in analyzing the existing loan portfolio.

In the three months ended March 31, 2020, management adjusted the economic risk factor methodology to incorporate the current economic implications, which includes receding tourism and rising unemployment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Set forth below is a summary of the Bank’s activity in the allowance for loan losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 2016,2019, and the year ended December 31, 2016:2019:

Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral (if the loan is collateral-dependent). Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment. Impairment reserves for these groups of consumer loans are determined using historical loss given default rates for similar loans.

Generally, the accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and is in the process of collection, with the exception of automobile and other consumer loans which, rather than being placed on non-accrual status, are charged off once they become 120 days delinquent. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Non-accrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Bank uses several credit quality indicators to manage credit risk, including an internal credit risk rating system that categorizes loans into pass, special mention, substandard, formula classified, doubtful or loss categories. Credit risk ratings are applied individually to those classes of loans that have significant or unique credit characteristics and that benefit from a case-by-case evaluation. These are typically loans to businesses or individuals in the classes which comprise the commercial portfolio segment. Groups of loans that are underwritten and structured using standardized criteria and characteristics, such as statistical models (e.g., credit scoring or payment performance), are typically risk-rated and monitored collectively. These are typically loans to individuals in the classes which comprise the consumer portfolio segment.

The following are the definitions of the Bank’s credit quality indicators:

Pass (A): Exceptional: Essentially risk-free credit. These are loans of the highest quality that pose virtually no risk of loss to the Bank. This includes loans fully collateralized by means of a savings account(s) and time certificate(s) of deposit, and by at least 110% of the loan amount. Borrowers should have strong financial statements, good liquidity and excellent credit.

Pass (B): Standard: Multiple, strong sources of repayment. These are loans to borrowers with a demonstrated history of financial and managerial performance. The risk of loss is considered to be low. Loans are well-structured, with clearly identified primary and readily available secondary sources of repayment. These loans may be secured by an equal amount of funds in a savings account or time certificate of deposit, ordeposit. These loans may also be secured by marketable collateral whose value can be reasonably determined through outside appraisals. The borrower characteristically has well supported cash flows and low leverage.

Pass (C): Acceptable: Good primary and secondary sources of repayment. These are loans to borrowers of average financial condition, stability and management expertise. The borrower should be a well-established individual or company with adequate financial resources to withstand short-term fluctuations in the marketplace. The borrower’s financial ratios and trends are favorable. The loans may be unsecured or supported by non-real estate collateral for which the value is more difficult to determine, represent a reasonable credit risk and require an average amount of account officer attention. The borrower’s ability to repay unsecured credit is to be of unquestionable strength.

Pass (D): Monitor: Sufficient primary sources of repayment and an acceptable secondary source of repayment. Acceptable business or individual credit, but the borrower’s operations, cash flows or financial conditions carry average levels of risk. These loans are considered to be collectable in full, but may require a greater-than-average amount of loan officer monitoring. Borrowers are capable of absorbing normal setbacks without failing to meet the terms of the loan agreement.

Special Mention: A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve a heightened degree of monitoring. These potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. The Special Mention classification should neither be a compromise between a pass grade and substandard, nor should it be a “catch all” grade to identify any loan that has a policy exception.

18


Substandard: A Substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and payment capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Assets classified as substandard are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.


Formula Classified: Formula Classified loans are all loans and credit cards delinquent 90 days and over which have yet to be formally classified Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful by the Bank’s Loan Committee. In most instances, the monthly formula total is comprised primarily of residential real estate loans, consumer loans, credit cards and commercial loans under $250 thousand. However, commercial loans are typically formally classified by the Loan Committee no later than their 90-day delinquency, and those do not become part of the formula classification. Real estate loans 90-days delinquent that are in the foreclosure process, which is typically completed within another 60 days, are not formally classified during this period.

Doubtful: A loan with weaknesses well enough defined that eventual repayment in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, is highly questionable, even though certain factors may be present which could improve the status of the loan. The probability of some loss is extremely high, but because of certain known factors that may work to the advantage of strengthening of the assets (i.e. capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, refinancing plans, etc.), its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status can be determined.

Loss: Loans classified as “Loss” are considered uncollectible, and are either unsecured or are supported by collateral that is of little to no value. As such, their continuance as recorded assets is not warranted. While this classification does not mandate that a loan has no ultimate recovery value, losses should be taken in the period during which these loans are deemed to be uncollectible. Loans identified as loss are immediately approved for charge-off. The Bank may refer loans to outside collection agencies, attorneys, or its internal collection division to continue collection efforts. Any subsequent recoveries are credited to the Allowance for Loan Losses.

As the above table indicates, the Bank’s total gross loans approximated $1.19$1.33 billion at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, up $22.3 million from $1.18$1.31 billion at December 31, 2016.2019. The disaggregation of the portfolio by risk rating in the table reflects the following changes between December 31, 2016,2019, and September 30, 2017:March 31, 2020:

Loans rated “pass” decreasedincreased by $19.1$14.5 million, to $1.12$1.24 billion at September 30, 2017, downMarch 31, 2020, from $1.14$1.22 billion at December 31, 2016.2019. The decrease wasincrease is primarily attributed to increases in commercial mortgage loans which decreased by $34.1$17.6 million and commercial construction loans by $12.2 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in commercial & industrial loans which fell by $7.1$12.4 million, and residential mortgage loans, which decreased by $6.2 million. These decreases were partially offset by increases in other consumer loans by $21.1$2.6 million, and in commercial constructionautomobile loans by $7.2 million. The decreases are primarily attributed to: (i) commercial mortgage loans, due to one loan payoff of $60 million, (ii) commercial & industrial loans, due to payoffs, paydowns and three loan relationships reclassified to “special mention” totaling $15.0 million, and (iii) residential mortgage loans, due to payoffs and paydowns, net of new originations.$456 thousand. The increase in other consumer loans was primarilycommercial mortgage is due to consumer loan promotions. Thenew loans, while the increase in commercial construction loans was primarilywere due to new construction loans totaling $12.0 million and additional disbursements of $7.0$3.0 million. These increases were offset by $1.6 million in Guam.pay downs and one loan totaling $1.2 million in construction that was completed and reallocated to commercial mortgage category. The decrease in commercial & industrial was due to $28.0 million in pay offs, $11.3 million in pay downs and $5.6 million in one loan relationship that was classified to “special mention”, offset by $19.6 million in new loans and $12.9 million in additional disbursements. The decrease in other consumer are due to $13.4 million in pay downs, $11.4 million in payoffs, $428 thousand in charge-offs and $43 thousand classified to “formula”. These decreases were largely offset by $23.1 million in loans funded during the quarter. The decrease in automobile loans is due to pay downs and payoffs.         

The “special mention” category increased by $10.7 million, to $14.4 million at $55.2March 31, 2020, from $ 3.6 million was $34.3 million higher at September 30, 2017, than at December 31, 2016.2019. This is attributed to an increase in special mention commercial mortgage& industrial loans by $25.0$10.7 million, primarily as a result of two loan relationships reclassified from “pass” to “special mention.” Additionally there was an increase in special mention commercial & industrial loans by $9.3 million, principally due to $15.0 million in three loan relationships being reclassified from “pass” to “special mention.”

Loans classified “substandard” increased by $1.7 million, to $11.5 million at September 30, 2017, from $9.7 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in substandard commercial & industrial loans was mainly the result of the reclassification of one $3.9 million loan relationship to “substandard” from “special mention,” partially offset by $197 thousand in loan paydowns and one loan payoff by $795 thousand. This was partially offset by a decrease in commercial mortgage loans due to $830 thousand (two loans) in payoffs, $188 thousand in one loan relationship upgraded from “substandard”totaling $5.6 million reclassified to “special mention,” and one loan foreclosed and transferred to OREO inmention”. In addition, there were new loans from the amount of $118 thousand.same relationship totaling $5.6 million.

20


Loans classified as “substandard” decreased by $976 thousand, to $59.8 million at March 31, 2020, from $60.8 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease was the result of commercial & industrial primarily due to $527 thousand in pay downs. The decrease in substandard commercial mortgage loans by $426 thousand is due to pay downs.

The “formula classified” category decreased by $274 thousand,$1.2 million, to $7.8$4.3 million at March 31, 2020, from $8.1$5.4 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease is due primarily due to a decrease of $281 thousandother consumer loans in residential mortgage loans. This decrease is due to $616 thousand in payoffs and $603 thousand in paydowns, partially offsetthat category by $1.3 million of these loans that were transferred into “formula classified.”due to COVID-19 loan deferrals.

There were no loans classified asThe “doubtful” or “loss”category decreased by $782 thousand, to $10.7 million at either September 30, 2017, orMarch 31, 2020, from $11.5 million at December 31, 2016.2019. The decrease of $515 thousand in commercial & industrial loans were due to paydowns, while the decrease of $267 thousand in commercial mortgage was primarily due to one loan payoff of $260 thousand.   

Impaired Loans

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Impaired loans include loans that are in non-accrual status and other loans that have been modified in Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Bank’s loss mitigation actions, and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forbearance, or other actions taken with the intention of maximizing collections.

The following table sets forth information regarding non-accrual loans and restructured loans, at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016:

Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral (if the loan is collateral-dependent). Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment. For the largeImpairment reserves for these groups of smaller-balance, homogenousconsumer loans the Bank will allocate a specific reserveare determined using historical loss given default rates for thesesimilar loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

TheIn accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” (ASU No. 2011-02), the Bank had $5.7$21.4 million of troubled debt restructurings (TDRs)(“TDRs”) as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, down by $1.2$1.1 million from $6.9$22.5 million at December 31, 2016, and entirely2019, primarily in commercial mortgage loans, with a decrease of $6.3 million in nonperforming loans in this category partially offset by an increase of $5.1 million in performing commercial mortgages.loans. The restructured loans recorded with the Bank have been modified for the purpose of alleviating temporary impairments to the borrower’s financial condition. The modifications that the Bank has extended to borrowers have come in the form of a change in the amortization terms, a reduction in the interest rate, and interest-only payments.repayment terms. The workout plan between the borrower and the Bank is designed to provide a bridge for cash flow shortfalls in the near term. As the borrower works through the near-term issues, in most cases, the original contractual terms will be reinstated.

P.L. 116-136, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) provided guidance around the modification of loans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which outlined, among other criteria, that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined by the CARES Act prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g. six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers are considered current under the CARES Act if they are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented.

Additional information regarding performing and nonperforming TDRs at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016,2019, is set forth in the following table:

Principal modification includes principal forgiveness at the time of modification, contingent principal forgiveness granted over the life of the loan based on borrower performance, and principal that has been legally separated and deferred to the end of the loan, with zero percent contractual interest rate.

During

In an effort to constructively work with borrowers affected by the nine-month periods ended SeptemberCOVID-19 pandemic, the Bank initiated a temporary program in March 2020 to allow for 90-day deferrals for residential mortgage and commercial loans upon request from the borrower, and a 90-day deferral for all consumer and automobile loans. The Bank did not identify consumer loans that were deferred and were over 30 2017days delinquent as TDRs due to the dollar amounts of the loans. However, management did identify a specific reserve for consumer loans over 90 days that were deferred and 2016, no loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings.increased its environmental factors for the reserve to account for the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

There were no defaults on troubled debt restructurings within twelve months following the modification nor were there any charge-offs or impacts to ALLL from loans identified as troubled debt restructurings during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 2016.2019.

The Bank has two significant borrowing relationships in bankruptcy. The Bank has calculated a specific reserve within the allowance for one of the borrowing relationships in bankruptcy in the amount of $4.2 million, and has sufficient collateral for the other borrowing relationship. The Bank’s management believes that at March 31, 2020, there is sufficient coverage to protect the Bank’s exposure to both relationships.

23


Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Bank is involved in certain legal actions and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that, as a result of its legal defenses and insurance arrangements, none of these matters is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s, BGIS’s or the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

 

Note 7 – Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the United States 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 Bank’s, BGIS’s and the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of Total and Tier 1 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 of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016,2019, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

In December 2010,As of March 31, 2020, the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision (“Basel Committee”) released its final framework for strengthening international capital and liquidity regulation, now officially identified as “Basel III,” which, when fully phased-in, would require bank holding companies and their bank subsidiaries to maintain substantially more capital than had previously been required, with a greater emphasis on common equity.


In July 2013, the U.S. banking regulatory agencies approved the U.S. version of Basel III. The agencies-adopted version of Basel III revises the risk-based and leverage capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with Basel III and to meet the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. Although many of the rules contained in these final regulations are applicable only to large, internationally active banks, some of them apply on a phased-in basis to all banking organizations, including the Company and the Bank. Among other things, the rules establish a new minimum common equity Tier 1 ratio (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), a higher minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital requirement (6.0% of risk-weighted assets) and a minimum non-risk-based leverage ratio (4.00%, eliminating a 3.00% exception for higher rated banks). The new additional capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk weighted assets over each of the requiredBank’s capital ratios is being phased in from 2016 to 2019 (1.25% in 2017 and 0.625% in 2016) and must be met to avoid limitations on the ability of the Company and the Bank to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses. An additional “countercyclical capital buffer” is required for larger and more complex institutions. At September 30, 2017, the actual capital conservation buffer was 5.23% and 4.87% for the Company and the Bank, respectively, and the minimum conservation buffer requirement was 1.25%. The rules, including alternative requirements for smaller community financial institutions like the Company and the Bank, will be phased in through 2019.

As of September 30, 2017, the most recent notification fromeach exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank asCorporation’s well capitalized standards under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since the notificationBank’s last regulatory examination that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Bank’s actualBank anticipates a large influx of deposits from the federal relief programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and understands the adverse impact it will have on its Tier 1 capital amounts(to average assets). Management believes that is has the capacity to absorb the growth in total assets, and ratios asthe tools needed to move deposits off of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, are also presented inits balance sheet through its Trust services to continue to be above the table below.well capitalized standards under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Bank’s 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, eligible employees can purchase, through payroll deductions, shares of common stock at a discount. The right to purchase stocks is granted to eligible employees during a quarterly offer period that is established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company. Eligible employees cannot accrue the right to purchase more than $25 thousand worth of stock at the fair market value at the beginning of each offer period. Eligible employees also may not purchase more than one thousand five hundred (1,500) shares of stock in any one offer period. The shares are purchased at 85% of the fair market price of the stock on the enrollment date. Proceeds from the issuance of common stock under this Plan were $99 thousand during the first nine months of 2017, compared to proceeds of $88 thousand during the year-earlier period.

Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock24

Commencing September 15, 2016, the Company offered a private placement of securities for the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 10,000 shares of its new, non-voting Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). These securities were offered to various accredited and a limited number of non-accredited investors for total proceeds of up to $10 million (the “Offering”). Each subscriber could purchase a minimum number of Series A Preferred Stock equivalent to at least $250,000 (250 shares). This offering carried a subscription price of $1 thousand per share and an initial fixed yield of 5.5% per annum, but the yield becomes floating at June 30, 2021, after which the annual yield will be the three-month LIBOR rate plus 4.825%. The Series A Preferred Stock carries a liquidation preference of $1 thousand per share. The Offering agreement contains customary warranties, representations and indemnification provisions, and expired on December 31, 2016. At September 30, 2017, 9,783 of these shares were issued and outstanding.


Note 8 – Off-Balance-Sheet Activities

The Bank is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers in the normal course of business. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in addition to the amount reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to financial instruments for loan commitments and letters of credit, is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Bank follows the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.


A summary of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016,2019, is as follows:

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

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party or the shipment of merchandise from a third party. These letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The majority of all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers, and similar credit underwriting standards are applied. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments.

The Bank considers its standby and other letters of credit to be payment guarantees. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the maximum undiscounted future payments that the Bank could be required to make for all outstanding letters of credit were $57.1$59.0 million. All of these arrangements mature within one year. The Bank has recourse to recover from the customer any amounts paid under these guarantees. Most of the guarantees are fully collateralized; however, several are unsecured. The Bank had recorded $22.5 thousand and $18.0$36 thousand in reserve liabilities associated with these guarantees at September 30, 2017, and DecemberMarch 31, 2016, respectively.2020.

 

 

Note 9 – Income Taxes

We record an amount equal to the tax credits, tax loss carry-forwards and tax deductions (“tax benefits”) that we believe will be available to us to offset or reduce the amounts of our income taxes in future periods as a deferred tax asset on our Statementscondensed consolidated statements of Condition.financial condition. Under applicable federal and state income tax laws and regulations in the United States, such tax benefits will expire if not used within specified periods of time. Accordingly, the ability to fully use ourthe deferred tax asset depends on the amount of taxable income that we generate during those time periods. At least once each year, or more frequently if warranted, we make an estimates of future taxable income that we believe we are likely to generate during those future periods. If we conclude, on the basis of those estimates and the amount of the tax benefits available to us, that it is more likely than not that we will be able to fully utilize those tax benefits prior to their expiration, we recognize the deferred tax asset in full on our balance sheet. On the other hand, if we conclude on the basis of those estimates and the amount of the tax benefits available to us that it has become more likely than not that we will be unable to utilize those tax benefits in full prior to their expiration, then we would establish a (or increase any existing) valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax asset on our balance sheet to the amount which we believe we are more likely than not to be able to utilize. Such a reduction is implemented by recognizing a non-cash charge that would have the effect of increasing the provision, or reducing any credit, for income taxes that we would otherwise have recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The determination of whether and the extent to which we will be able to utilize our deferred tax asset involves significant management judgments and assumptions that are subject to period-to-period changes as a result of changes in tax laws, changes in the market, or economic conditions that could affect our operating results or variances between our actual operating results and our projected operating results, as well as other factors.

25


A valuation allowance of $3.2$1.8 million has been provided at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016,2019, to reduce the deferred tax asset because, in management’s opinion, it is more likely than not that less than the entire amount will be realized. The portion of the deferred tax asset with valuation allowance is attributable to a cumulative net operating loss carry forward from the Bank’s CNMI operations, which losses management anticipates will continue. The charge from the net operating loss has already been realized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income as a result of the Guam income tax code.

The difference between the effective income tax expense and the income tax expense computed at the Guam statutory rate of 21% was due to nontaxable interest income earned on loans to the Government of Guam and its autonomous agencies.Guam.

In addition to filing a federal income tax return in Guam, the Bank files income tax returns in the CNMI and the State of California. The Bank is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010.2012.

 

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements

The Bank uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances there are no quoted market prices for the Bank’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. The fair value guidance of ASC Topic 820


provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under then-current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under then-current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances, and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under then-current market conditions.

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with the guidance of ASC Topic 820, the Bank groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally 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.

Level 1:

Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain U.S. Treasury securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3:

Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The valuation technique used for Level 3 MSRsmortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) is their discounted cash flow. Inputs considered in determining Level 3 pricing include the anticipated prepayment rates, discount rates, and cost to service. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Under certain circumstances, the Bank makes adjustments to fair value for assets and liabilities even though they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. The following table presents the assetsfinancial instruments carried on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition by caption and by level in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016,2019, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded:

The fair value of loans and other real estate owned subject to write downs is estimated using the appraised value of the underlying collateral, discounted as necessary due to management’s estimates of changes in economic conditions.

Additionally, the Bank also makes adjustments to nonfinancial assets and liabilities even though they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. With the exception of other real estate owned, the Bank does not have nonfinancial assets or liabilities for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded during the periods ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016.2019.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount of cash and short-term instruments approximates fair value based on the short-term nature of the assets.

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks

Fair values for other interest-bearing deposits are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current interest rates or yields for similar types of deposits.

28


Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan BankFHLB of Des Moines (“FHLB”).Moines. As a member, we are required to own stock of the FHLB, the amount of which is based primarily on the level of our borrowings from that institution. We also have the right to acquire additional shares of stock in the FHLB; however, to date, we have not done so. It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability, so it is recorded at its carrying value.transferability.

Investment Securities

When quoted prices are available in an active market, the Bank classifies the securities within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury notes and bonds.

If quoted market prices are not available, the Bank estimates fair values using pricing models and discounted cash flows that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, and credit spreads. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include U.S. GSE obligations, U.S. government agency pool securities, and other securities. Mortgage-backed securities are included in Level 2 if observable inputs are available. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, the Bank would classify those securities in Level 3. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016,2019, the Bank did not have any Level 3 investment securities.

Loans

For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based upon interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable. Loans are classified in Level 3.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The fair value of MSRs is determined using models which depend on estimates of prepayment rates, discount rates and costs to service. MSRs are classified in Level 3.


Deposit Liabilities

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (for example, interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current market interest rates on comparable instruments to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. Deposit liabilities are classified in Level 3.

Short-Term Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)FHLB advances maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values.

Long-Term Borrowings

The fair value of FHLB advances maturing after ninety days is determined based on expected present value techniques using current market interest rates for advances with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Management does not believe it is practicable to provide an estimate of fair value for off-balance sheet commitments or contingent liabilities because of the uncertainty involved in attempting to assess the likelihood and timing of a commitment being drawn upon, coupled with a lack of an established market for these instruments and the wide diversity of fee structures.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

Note 12 – Leases

The Bank leases certain land, office spaces, and storage spaces. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Instead, the Bank recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 50 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease terms, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

30


Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of the prevailing market value of the lease and the average of the Treasury Bill Rate and the Guam Consumer Price Index figure, and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Bank's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Bank leases certain facilities from two separate entities in which two of its directors have separate ownership interests. Lease payments made to these entities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, approximated $59 thousand and $58 thousand, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2019, lease payments made to these entities approximated $354 thousand.

Additionally, the Bank leases office space to third parties, with original lease terms ranging from 1 to 3 years with option periods ranging up to 12 years. At March 31, 2020, minimum future rents to be received under non-cancelable operating sublease agreements were $34 thousand and $8 thousand for the periods ending December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

The cash flow from operating leases included in the measurement of lease liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2020, was $876 thousand.

The following table summarizes the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded as part of other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in our condensed consolidated statements of financial condition at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019:

Note 13 – Subordinated Debt

On June 27, 2019, the Company issued $15.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.35% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due June 30, 2029 (the “Notes”).

The Notes have a ten-year term and initially bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 6.35%. Beginning June 30, 2024, the interest rate will reset quarterly to the then-current three-month LIBOR plus 466 basis points. The Company is required to pay interest only semi-annually during the fixed period, and quarterly during the floating rate period. The principal sum of the Notes plus any unpaid interest are due on the maturity date.

The Notes are unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company only and are not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, any subsidiary of the Company. The Notes rank junior in right to payment to the Company’s current and future senior indebtedness.

As the above table indicates, our net income decreasedincreased in the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2016.2019. In the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, we recorded net income after taxes of $3.2 million, a decreasean increase of $432$343 thousand (or 12.0%11.8%) as compared to the same period in 2016. These results2019. The primary reasons for the increase were most significantly impacted by higher non-interest expense, which increased by $1.5 million, and lowerincreases of $445 thousand in non-interest income which fell by $510 thousand, but were largely offset by an increaseand a reduction of $1.6 million in provision for loan losses, partially offset by a reduction in net interest income after provision for loan losses. Theof $1.6 million and an increase in non-interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, was largely attributed to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expenses, which went up by $526 thousand, and increase in general administrative and other expense of $412 thousand, and an increase of $236 thousand in equipment and depreciation expenses. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in total interest income of $2.4 million, generated primarily by an increase of $1.1 million in income from our loan portfolio, higher earnings $1.0 million from our investment portfolio and an increase of $260 thousand in our earnings from our deposits with other banks, including the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, supplemented by the decrease in total interest expense of $20$258 thousand. The


increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses of $1.6 million was attenuated by the $801 thousand increase in the provision for loan losses to a more normal level after a temporary reduction in the provision during the third quarter of 2016.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our net income after taxes decreased by $1.2 million (12.1%) in comparison to the first nine months of 2016, primarily due to an increase of $4.3 million in non-interest expense, an increase of $838 thousand in the provision for loan losses and a decrease of $672 thousand in non-interest income, only partially offset by an increase of $4.2 million in net interest income, and a decrease of $369 thousand in income tax expense. The rise in non-interest expense was due to an increase of the $2.0 million in salaries and employee benefits that resulted primarily from annual merit increases, and increase of $939 thousand in general, administrative and other expense, an increase of $867 thousand in equipment and depreciation expense, and a higher occupancy expense, which rose by $305 thousand, partly offset by a reduction of $209 thousand in professional service expense. The decrease in income tax expense was due to our lower income before income taxes, while the increase in net interest income was the result of the growth of $234.4 million in our average interest-earning assets, attenuated by a decrease of 0.26% in our net interest margin.

The following table shows the increase in our net interest margin duringin the three months ended September 30, 2017, in comparison to the same period in 2016,March 31, 2020, but a decrease in net interest margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Itit also indicates the impact that the decreaseincrease in our net income had on our annualized returns on average assets and average equity. Our return on average equity increased by 0.06% during that period,the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the corresponding three-period in 2019, and nine-month periods of 2016:our return on average assets increased by 5 basis points:

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 in the Notes to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 20162019 filed with the SEC on March 14, 2017,19, 2020, and Note 2 of Item 1 in this report. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general practices in the banking industry. Certain of those accounting policies are considered critical accounting policies because they require us to make assumptions and judgments regarding circumstances or trends that could affect the carrying values of our material assets, such as assumptions regarding economic conditions or trends that could impact our ability to fully collect our outstanding loans or ultimately realize the carrying values of certain of our other assets, such as securities that are available for sale. If adverse changes were to occur in the events, trends or other circumstances on which our assumptions or judgments have been based, or other unanticipated events were to happen that might affect our operating results, it could become necessary under GAAP for us to reduce the carrying values of the affected assets in our Statementcondensed consolidated statements of Condition.financial condition. In addition, because reductions in the carrying values of assets are sometimes effectuated by or require charges to income, such reductions also may have the effect of reducing our income.

 

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the primary component of the Bank’s income, refers to the difference between the interest earned on loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets, and the interest paid on deposits and other borrowed funds. Our interest income and interest expense are affected by a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control, including national and local economic conditions, the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee which affect interest rates, competition in the marketplace for loans and deposits, the demand for loans and the ability of borrowers to meet their payment obligations. Net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, is a banking organization’s “net interest margin.”

The following table sets forth our interest income, interest expense and net interest income, and our annualized net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 2016,2019, respectively:

Net interest income increaseddecreased by 13.1%6.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2016. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net interest income increased by 7.7% in comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2019.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, net interest income rosedecreased by $2.4$1.6 million as compared to the same period in 2016.2019. Total interest income also increaseddecreased by $2.4$1.3 million principally becausedue decreases of a $1.1 million increase$566 thousand in earnings on our loan portfolio and a $1.0 million increase in our investment securities income, supplemented by a $260loans, $539 thousand increase in interest earned on our deposits with other banks, including the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The increase in our net interest margin was primarily the result of a 0.34% increase in the average yield on a


significantly larger average balance in our investment portfolio and a 0.16% increase in the yield on our growing loan portfolio, as well as the 0.71% increase in the yield on our term investments. The effect of those increases on our net interest income was supplemented by a decrease of 0.03% in the average rate on our average interest-bearing liabilities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net interest income was $4.2 million higher than in the year-earlier period due to an increase of $4.3 million in total interest income. The rise in interest income was due primarily to a $2.2 million increase in earnings on our investment securities portfolio, supplemented by $1.6 million more in income from our loan portfolio and an increase of $485 thousand in returns on our short term investments, comprised mostly ofand $213 thousand on deposits with other banks.banks during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The average rate on our average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 0.02%.earning assets of 3.6% between those same comparative periods.

On March 3, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee reduced the target federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.00% - 1.25%. This rate was further reduced to a target range of 0% - 0.25% on March 16, 2020. These reductions in interest rates and other effects of the COVID-19 outbreak may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. As a result of the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, economic uncertainties have risen which are likely to negatively impact net interest income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, our total average earning assets increased by $201.9$66.0 million as compared to the same period in 2016, attributable2019. The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the $167.0 million increasesame period in our average investment securities portfolio and2019, is attributed to the $41.5$46.6 million increase in our average loan portfolio, and a $34.8 million increase in average short term investments, only partially offset by the $6.6$15.5 million decrease in our average short-term investments.investment securities. Average non-interestnoninterest earning assets increased by $9.1 million, principally due to a $9.1 million increase in other assets and a $1.1 million increase in accrued interest receivable, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in cash and remittances due from banks. The overall year-over-year growth of 11.8% in our average earning assets was the result of continued growth in our deposit base and an increase in non-interest bearing liabilities, supplemented by growth in our average stockholders’ equity.$11.2 million. In the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, average total interest-bearing liabilities increased by $137.5$20.0 million in comparison to the same period in 2019. In the three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2020, the increase was comprised of a $99.8the $15.5 million increase in average interest-bearing money market and savings accounts and an increase in average interest-bearing checking accounts, by $42.4and a $14.8 million that resulted from improvementsincrease in the level of economic activity in the island markets that we serve, but those increases were partiallyaverage subordinated debt, offset by the $5.9 million decrease of $1.3 million in average interest-bearingsavings accounts, and a $4.3 million decrease in average certificates of deposit. The additionaloverall increase in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted from an increase in our deposit base, primarily in commercial checking accounts. This was supplemented by an increase of $57.5$40.7 million in average non-interest bearing liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily in traditional checking accounts, resulted inmoderated an overall increase of $195.0$60.7 million in average total liabilities. During the third quarter of 2017,three months ended March 31, 2020, average stockholders’ equity increased by $16.0$16.4 million (13.1%(10.9%) respectively, in comparison to the year-earlier period, which included the issuance of $9.8 million in non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock during the fourth quarter of 2016.period.

The increase2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the decrease in our interest rate spread is primarily attributed to the 0.03% rise46 basis point (0.46%) decrease in the average yield on our interest earning assets, which was reinforced by a 0.03% decrease infrom 5.14% to 4.68%, while the average interest rate on our interest-bearing liabilities. The 0.05% increase in our net interest margin resulted from the 11.8% increase in our average total interest-earning assets being less than the 13.1% increase in our net interest income.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our average earning assetsliabilities increased by $234.4 million (14.4%)7 basis points from the average for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, due0.17% to an increase of $166.8 million in our average holdings of investment securities, growth of $60.6 million in our average loan portfolio and a rise of $7.0 million in our average short term investments. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our average noninterest earning assets increased by $7.3 million in comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, notably because of a rise of $9.1 million in other assets, a $1.1 million increase in accrued interest receivable and $247 thousand more in net premises and equipment, partially offset by a  $1.1 million decrease in cash and due from banks, raising our total average assets to $1.95 billion, an increase of $241.7 million (14.1%) from the same period during the previous year. The increase in average total assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the previous year was funded by an increase in total average liabilities of $224.2 million, supplemented by the growth in our average stockholders’ equity of $17.5 million (14.8%)0.24%. In addition to the growth of $32.7 million in average non-interest bearing liabilities, which are primarily traditional checking account balances, the $191.5 million increase in our average total interest-bearing liabilities was comprised of an expansion of $119.5 million in our average money market and savings account balances, a $69.2 million increase in average interest-bearing checking accounts and an increase of $4.8 million in average certificate of deposit balances, partially offset by the elimination of $2.1 million in other borrowings.

Our interest rate spread and net interest margin decreased by 0.25% and 0.26%, respectively, during the first nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same period of 2016. The reduction in our interest rate spread was the result of a decrease of 0.27% in the yield on our average total earning assets, while the cost of our average interest-bearing liabilities was reduced by just 0.02%. The lower yield on our average total earning assets was primarily caused by a drop of 0.13% in the yield on our average loan balances, but this was partially offset by the 0.45% and 0.15% increases in yield on our average short-term investments and on our average holdings of investment securities, respectively, the impacts of which were much smaller because of their lower balances relative to our loan portfolio. Our lower net interest margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, in comparison to the previous year resulted from the 7.7% growth in our net interest income being significantly less than the 14.4% expansion of our average total earning assets. (Some of the figures in this and the previous three paragraphs may appear to differ from the preceding table due to rounding.)

Provision for Loan Losses

We maintain allowances for probable loan losses that are incurred as a normal part of the banking business. As more fully discussed in Note 5 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an allowance for loan losses has been established by management in order to provide for those loans which, for a variety of reasons, may not be repaid in their entirety. The allowance is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to provide for probable losses that are anticipatedaccrued as of the balance sheet date and is based on methodologies applied on a consistent basis with the prior year. Management’s review of the adequacy of the allowance includes, among other things, loan growth, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, a statisticalan analysis of past loan loss experience and management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions.

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimate losses maywill vary from current estimates. The Bank recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among other things: general economic conditions; the type of loan being made; the credit worthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan; and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality and valuation of the collateral for such loan. The allowance for loan losses represents the Bank’s best estimate of the allowance necessary to provide for probable incurred losses in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date.


If management determines that it is necessary to increase the allowance for loan losses, a provision for loan losses is recorded. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Bank’s provision for loan losses was $1.2$2.2 million, and $3.6 million, respectively, which was $801 thousand and $838 thousand higher$1.6 million lower than during the corresponding periodsperiod of 2016.2019. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, management adjusted the economic risk factor methodology to incorporate the current economic implications, which includes reduced tourism and higher unemployment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Management believes that the provision recorded was sufficient to mitigateoffset the incremental risk of loss inherent in ourthe gross loan portfolio of $1.19$1.33 billion at September 30, 2017, up by $16.6March 31, 2020, an increase of $22.3 million from $1.18 billion at December 31, 2016, and to replenish the allowance for net loan charge-offs of $3.8 million recorded during the same period.2019. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, stood at $15.2$29.1 million or 1.28%2.19% of total gross loans outstanding as of the balance sheet date, a decreasean increase of $220 thousand (1.4%)$1.2 million from December 31, 2016.2019. We recorded net loan charge-offs of $1.3$1.0 million and $975 thousand for the three-month periodsthree months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and net loan charge-offs of $3.8 million during the first nine months of 2017, compared to $1.5 million in net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2016.March 31, 2020.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, non-interest income totaled $3.2$4.1 million, which represented a decreasean increase of $510$445 thousand (13.6%(12.3%) as compared to the same period in 2016.three months ended March 31, 2019. The reductiongrowth during the three months ended March 31, 2020, is primarily attributed to lackthe increases in income of investment securities gains or losses, a decrease of $272 thousand from the previous year, and the $268 thousand decrease in income from cardholders, supplementedservice charges and attenuated by normal fluctuationsfees, and $145 thousand in other elements of non-interest income. The decrease in net income, from cardholders was primarily the result of an increase in card processing fees.

Our non-interest income decreased by $672 thousand (6.6%) during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from the same period a year earlier. Much of this decrease, in the amount of $604 thousand, was due to a drop in income from cardholders that resulted from an increase in card processing fees, as mentioned in the previous paragraph. There was also a net loss of $13 thousand on sales of investment securities, for a decrease of $414 thousand from the previous year’s net gain of $401 thousand, partially offset by the increase of $316 thousand in our income from merchant services that resulted from a reduction in cross-border fees charged by one card company, an increase in the number of merchants serviced, and the discontinuation of services to a merchant for which our costs of providing the services exceeded our revenuesincome from the merchant.Company’s equity investment in its unconsolidated subsidiary of $148 thousand during the period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, non-interest expense totaled $17.8$19.2 million, which represented a $1.5 million (9.1%was an increase of $258 thousand (1.4%) increase as compared to the same period in 2016.2019. The increase is primarily attributed to the $526$448 thousand riseincrease in our salaries and employee benefits, the $412 thousand increase in general, administrative and other expense, and the $236$212 thousand increase in equipment and depreciation expense and the $172$155 thousand increase in occupancy expense.contract services. The increase in salaries and employee benefits wasis primarily due to normal, recurringthe annual merit increases, in salaries and a small increase in the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) employees needed to accommodate the growth of $180.8 million (9.8%) in the assets of the Bank from September 30, 2016. The Company’s FTE count at September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016, and September 30, 2016 were 617, 604, and 597, respectively. The increase in general, administrative and other expense was primarily the result of increases in advertising and public relations expenses. The increase in equipment and depreciation expense wasresulted primarily due to an increasefrom increases in computer equipment maintenance expense, and the increase in occupancy expense was due tosoftware expenses of $243. These increases in utilities costs and the expense of repairs to buildings, partiallywere largely offset by a decrease in rental income.

For the nineother real estate owned expense of $485 thousand due to charge downs of two previously foreclosed properties in California in order to meet regulatory requirements during the three months ended September 30, 2017, total non-interest expense increased by $4.3 million (8.9%) from the year-earlier period, a large part of which was due to an increase of $2.0 million in salaries and employee benefits, which was in part due to normal, recurring employee salaries increases, but also reflects the need for additional FTE personnel to accommodate the increased activity associated with our growth in assets from September 30, 2016. We also experienced a $939 thousand increase in general, administrative and other expense, a $867 thousand increase in equipment and depreciation expense, and a rise of $305 thousand in occupancy expense, partially offset by a reduction in professional services expense of $209 thousand. The increase in general, administrative and other expense was primarily due to an increase in public relations expense associated with the Bank’s 45th anniversary celebration events, and the rise in equipment and depreciation expense was due to an increase in computer equipment maintenance expense. These increases were partially offset by the decrease of $209 thousand in professional services expense that resulted from additional audit fees incurred in the prior year.March 31, 2019.

Income Tax Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Bank recorded an income tax expenses of $755 thousand. This expense of $1.6 million, $10was $62 thousand higherlower than the income tax expense recorded for the corresponding periodperiods in 2016, despite a $422 thousand decrease in income before taxes. The primary cause of this increase was the payoff of a large government loan for which the interest income was tax exempt, replaced by taxable earning assets.2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our income tax expense was $3.8 million, 8.9% lower than during the year-earlier period. This was primarily due to the 11.2% decrease in our income before income taxes. The effective tax rate was 30.1% and 29.3% for the nine months ended September 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  37

Assets

This $95.1$40.3 million increase was comprised of the $77.4$28.4 million increase in interest bearing deposits in banks, $21.3 million growth in our investmentnet loan portfolio including our investment is an unconsolidated subsidiary, the $16.5and a $6.7 million increase in our net loans, the $9.6 million increase in other assets, the $1.2 million increase in accrued interest receivable and the rise of $448 thousand in our holdings of Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which facilitates our mortgage lending. The increase in other assets was primarily comprised of a $6.0 million increase in receivable income due to a security called on September 30, 2017, for which funds were not received until two days later, a $1.3 million increase in prepaid income taxes, a $666 thousand increase in our deferred tax asset and a $663 thousand increase in our bank-owned life insurance (BOLI). The increases those asset categories wereinvestment securities portfolio, but partially offset by the $10.2reduction of $11.7 million in other assets and the $4.8 million decrease in our cash and cash


equivalents. Becausedue from banks. As our net loans increased at a slower rate than our total assets, during the period, the proportion of net loans to total assets decreased from 60.3% to 58.2% from65.3% at December 31, 2016,2019, to September 30, 2017.65.0% at March 31, 2020.

Loans

Commercial & industrial loans are loans to businesses to finance capital purchases and improvements, or to provide cash flow for operations. Commercial mortgage loans include loans secured by real property for purposes such as the purchase or improvement of that property, wherein repayment is derived from the income generated by the real property or from business operations. Residential mortgage loans are loans to consumers to finance the purchase, improvement, or refinance of real property secured by 1-4 family housing units. Consumer loans include loans to individuals to finance personal needs and are either closed- or open-ended loans. Automobile loans fall under the consumer loan category, but the bulk of consumer loans is typically unsecured extensions of credit such as credit card debt and personal signature loans.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, total gross loans increased by $16.6$22.3 million, to $1.19$1.33 billion, from $1.18$1.31 billion at December 31, 2016.2019. The increase in loans was largely attributed to a $14.8$26.4 million increase in consumertotal commercial loans, to $383.3$972.0 million at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, from $368.5$945.6 million at December 31, 2016.2019. The increase in consumer loans was due to the $21.1 million increase in other consumer loans that resulted from a seriesunderlying increases were comprised of installment loan promotions, partially offset by the $6.3 million decrease in residentialcommercial mortgage loans due to normal paydowns and large principal reductions. The effect of the increase in consumer loans was supplementedrising by a $1.8$16.9 million, increase in commercial loans to $809.3 million at September 30, 2017, up from $807.5 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in commercial loans was due to the $7.2 million increasealong with increases in commercial construction loans and the $5.1by $12.2 million, increaseoffset by a decrease in commercial & industrial loans but these increasesby $2.7 million. The increase in total commercial loans was partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in total consumer loans, to $356.3 million at March 31, 2020, from $360.5 million at December 31, 2019. The decreases were in other consumer loans by $3.9 million and automobile loans by $548 thousand. These were partially offset by the declineincrease in residential mortgage by $222 thousand and home equity loans by $64 thousand.

In recognition of $10.5the potential difficulties that may be faced by our commercial and consumer customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank initiated a temporary program in March 2020 under which affected customers may have their loan payments deferred or otherwise adjusted. As of the date of this filing, the current program applies to both commercial and consumer loans, and only for a period of up to 90 days.

With the passage of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), the Bank actively participated in assisting its customers with applications for resources through the program. PPP loans have a two-year term and earn interest at 1%. The Bank believes that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. As of April 30, 2020, the Bank has approved over $90.0 million in commercial mortgagePPP loans. The Bank has already funded a portion of the PPP loans in April 2020 and expects to fully fund them by the end of May 2020. It is the Bank’s understanding that loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. Should those circumstances change, the Bank could be required to establish additional allowance for loan loss through additional credit loss expense charged to earnings.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, loans outstanding were comprised of approximately 66.42%70.30% in variable rate loans and 33.58%29.70% in fixed rate loans, compared to 67.37% variable and 32.63% fixed rate at December 31, 2016, and 67.71% variable rate and 32.29% fixed rate loans at September 30, 2016.loans.

Since it first opened in 1972, the Bank has expanded its operations and its branch network, first in Guam, then in the other islands of our region and in San Francisco, California. In the interests of enhancing performance and stability through market and industry diversification, the Bank has


increased its focus on growth in the San Francisco area in recent years, adding personnel with experience and expertise in the Bay Area.

The reduction of loan balances by $37.9 million, or 5.3%, in Guam during the first nine months of 2017 was primarily due to the payoff of one large commercial loan during the second quarter of the year, after having grown by $38.1 million (5.7%) in 2016. Our net loans in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands decreased by $1.2 million (1.6%) during the first nine months of 2017 after having grown by $2.4 million (3.3%) in 2016.

Nonperforming Loans and Other Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming loans consist of (i) loans on non-accrual status because we have ceased accruing interest on these loans; (ii) loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest; and (iii) restructured loans. Other nonperforming assets consist of real estate properties (OREO) that have been acquired through foreclosure or similar means and which management intends to offer for sale. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full and timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payment becomes 90 days past due, unless the loan is adequately collateralized and the loan is in the process of collection. When a loan is placed in non-accrual status, accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequently, when payments are received on such loans, the amounts are applied to reduce principal, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case accrued loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest becomes current and full repayment is expected. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis for impaired loans not meeting the non-accrual criteria.

The above table indicates that nonperforming loans decreasedincreased by $1.5$1.3 million during the first ninethree months of 2017,ended March 31, 2020, which resulted partly from the decrease in total non-accrual loans by $1.4 million, from $14.0 million to $12.6 million, and the decreaseincrease in total loans past due 90 days and still accruing by $75 thousand to$1.3 million, from $1.8 million down from $1.9to $3.1 million, at December 31, 2016.supplemented by an increase in total non –accrual loans by $38 thousand during the same period. The decreaseincrease in total loans past due 90 days and still accruing were due to the increases of $523 thousand in other consumer loans, $406 thousand in commercial and industrial loans, $220 thousand in automobile loans and $150 thousand in residential mortgage loans. The increase in total non-accrual loans was primarily due to the $137$357 thousand reductionincrease in othercommercial mortgage loans and $115 thousand in residential mortgage loans, offset by decreases of $337 thousand in this category. The reduction in total non-accrual loans is primarily attributed to the decreases in this category of commercial &and industrial loans by $864 thousand and of commercial mortgage loans by $435 thousand. In addition, the Bank’s holdings of other real estate owned (OREO) decreased by $328 thousand during the period due to a $702$97 thousand in sales, partially offset by additions of $521 thousand, and total restructured loans fell by $1.2 million as one loan was paid off and refinanced.other loans.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Bank’s largest nonperforming loans are twothree commercial real estate mortgage loanloans totaling $5.9 million from three relationships totaling $5.1of $2.7 million, both of which are secured by real estate located in Guam.$1.7 million and $1.5 million respectively. These loans were placed on non-accrual due to deficiencies in the underlying cash flow to service the monthly loan payments and meet operating expenses. At this time, management believes that the collateral and the allocated allowance for loan losses areis adequate to cover these loans; however, should property values deteriorate, additional write-downs or additional provisions may be necessary.

Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses was $15.2$29.1 million, or 1.28%2.19% of outstanding gross loans, as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, as compared to $15.4$27.9 million, or 1.31%2.13% of outstanding gross loans, at December 31, 2016. Of the $15.22019. The allowance was $26.1 million allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2017, $13.7 million was reserved for loans collectively evaluated for impairment totaling $1.18 billion,March 31, 2019, or 1.16% of gross loans.  Of the $15.4 million allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2016, $14.0 million was reserved for loans collectively evaluated for impairment totaling $1.16 billion, or 1.21%2.05% of gross loans.

Management maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb estimated credit losses associated with the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance is determined by management through ongoing quarterly loan quality assessments.


Management assesses the estimated credit losses inherent in the non-classified and classified portions of our loan portfolio by considering a number of factors or elements including:

Management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio;

Historical loss experience in the loan portfolio;

Levels of and trendingtrends in delinquency, classified assets, non-performing and impaired loans;

Effects of changes in underwriting standards and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices;

Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;

Local, regional, and national trends and conditions, including industry-specific conditions;

The effect of changes in credit concentration; and

External factors such as competition, legal and regulatory conditions, as well as typhoontyphoons, pandemics such as COVID-19 and other natural disasters.

Management determines the allowance for the classified loan portfolio and for non-classified loans by applying a percentage loss estimate that is calculated based on the above noted factors and trends. Management normally writes down impaired loans after determining the loans’ credit andloan collateral fair value.value versus the outstanding loan balance. Our analysis of the adequacy of the allowance incorporates the provisions made for our non-classified loans and classified loans.

While management believes it uses the best information available for calculating the allowance, the results of operation could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance. The current qualitative and quantitative factors used to calculate the allowance are inherently subjective. The estimates and assumptions are subject to changes in economic prospects and regulatory guidelines, and other circumstances over which management has no control. The allowance may prove in the future to be insufficient to cover all of the losses the Bank may incur and it may be necessary to increase the allowance from time to time as a result of monitoring its adequacy.

The Bank’s management believes at March 31, 2020, there is sufficient coverage to protect the loan, resulting in no specific allocation being required. Management’s evaluation of the remaining seven commercial loans, totaling a combined $589 thousand, identified the need for $40 thousand in a specific loan loss allocation.Bank’s exposure to both relationships.

 

There were 81 impaired loans totaling $5.9 million in the real estate loan category that were evaluated for impairment as of September 30, 2017, and for which a specific allocation totaling $6 thousand was made. The collateral securing one loan was determined to be sufficient to cover the carrying balance of that loan, which totaled $235 thousand.  The $6 thousand allowance allocation, or 0.11% of the outstanding balance, was for the remaining 80 impaired real estate loans, which totaled $5.6 million.

Generally, consumer loans are considered impaired when they become more than 90 days past due.  There were 385 impaired loans in the consumer loan category as of September 30, 2017, totaling $2.0 million, in which $1.5 million in allowances were allocated. The allocation rate on these consumer loans totaled 76.97% at September 30, 2017, as repayment from most consumer loans are based on support from the borrower’s cash flows and are not secured by collateral.

The number of impaired loans in the commercial loan category was 22, totaling $7.6 million, of which 16 loans totaling $6.2 million had adequate collateral securing the carrying value of the loan, resulting in no specific reserves being required.  Management’s evaluation of the remaining six commercial loans, totaling a combined $1.4 million, identified the need for $2 thousand in a specific allowance allocation.

There were 83 impaired loans totaling $6.2 million in the real estate loan category that were evaluated for impairment as of December 31, 2016, and for which a specific allocation totaling $15 thousand was made. The collateral securing one loan was determined to be sufficient to cover the carrying balance of the loan, which totaled $250 thousand. The $15 thousand allowance allocation, or 0.25% of the outstanding balance, was for the remaining 82 impaired real estate loans totaling $6.0 million.

There were 279 impaired loans in the consumer loan category as of December 31, 2016, totaling $1.9 million, for which $1.4 million in a specific allowance was allocated. The allocation rate for these consumer loans totaled 74.96% at December 31, 2016.

Total Cash and Cash Equivalents

Total cash and cash equivalents were $166.5$155.3 million and $176.7$131.7 million at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016,2019, respectively. This balance, which is comprised of cash and due from bank balances and interest-bearing deposits that we maintain at other financial institutions (including the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, but excepting restricted cash), will vary depending on daily cash settlement activities, the amount of highly liquid assets needed based on known future events such as the repayment of borrowings and scheduled withdrawals, and actual cash on hand in the Bank’s branches.  The decrease in the balance during the period was primarily attributed to conversion of interest bearing deposits in banks to higher yielding assets.

The following table sets forth the composition of our cash and cash equivalent balances at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016:2019:

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016,2019, investment securities with a carrying value of $368.9$336.8 million and $319.5$299.5 million, respectively, were pledged to secure various government deposits and other public requirements.

The amortized cost estimatedand fair value and weighted average yields of investment securities by contractual maturity at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016, are shown below.  Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or borrowers the right to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.  At September 30, 2017, obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies totaling $593.4 million consist predominantly of Small Business Administration agency pool securities totaling $330.1 million and residential mortgage-backed securities totaling $113.4 million whose contractual maturity, or principal repayment, will follow the repayment of the underlying small business loans or mortgages.  For purposes of the following table, the entire outstanding balance of these SBA pools and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government corporations and agencies is categorized based on final maturity date.  At September 30, 2017, the Bank estimates the average remaining life of these SBA pools and mortgage-backed securities to be approximately 5.50 years and 3.86 years, respectively. The weighted average yield on the entire portfolio increased by 28 basis points, to 1.62% at September 30, 2017, from 1.34% at December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily the result of higher market interest rates.2019, follows:

The Company does not believe that any of the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, which included a total of 15268 securities, were other-than-temporarily impaired. Specifically, the 15268 securities are comprised of the following: 93 Small Business Administration (SBA)(“SBA”) Pool securities, 22 mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), 18 U.S. Treasury securities, 8 mortgage-backed securities, 7 agency securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and 1 agency security issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), 1 mortgage-backed security and 1 step up bond issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), and 1 agency security issued by Federal Farm Credit Banks (FFCB).securities.

Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to changes in the credit quality of the investment securities. In addition, these securities and their repayment are sponsored by the U.S. Government or its various agencies and therefore, it is unlikely that they will ever be settled for less than par. The CompanyBank does not intend to sell the investment securities that wereare in an unrealized loss position and it is not likely that, except as needed to fund our liquidity position, the CompanyBank will be required to sell the investment securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity.

As mentioned earlier, the Bank has expanded its operations and its branch network since it first opened in 1972, first in Guam, then in the other islands of our region and in San Francisco, California. As time has passed, the Bank has gathered market share in each of the islands. In recent years, in order to diversify its geographic market, the Bank has increased its focus on growth in the California region. The following table provides figures for deposits in the Bank’s administrative regions at year endMarch 31, 2020, and December 31, 2015 and 2016, and at September 30, 2017:2019:

The Freely Associated States (FAS) are comprised of the Federated States of Micronesia (Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei and Yap), the Republic of Palauthe Marshall Islands and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.Palau.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Bank’s deposits increased by $86.4$30.8 million or 4.9%, while in the full year of 2016, deposits increased by a total of $356.0 million.(1.78%) to $1.76 billion compared to December 31, 2019. Our branches in CNMIGuam experienced an increase of $37.0$41.2 million in deposits during the first three quarters of 2017, our branches in the FAS provided an additional $30.8 million, andmonths ended March 31, 2020, while the deposits in our branches in Guam grewthe CNMI were reduced by $18.7$9.8 million. OurDeposits in our FAS branches decreased by $492 thousand and our California region deposits decreased by $150$171 thousand during the first nine months of 2017.same time period. The Bank is anticipating a large increase in deposits from the COVID-19 federal relief programs, primarily in Guam and CNMI in the coming months.

Borrowed Funds

The Bank has a variety of sources from which it may obtain secondary funding. These sources include, among others, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Federal Home Loan Bank-DesBank of Des Moines, and credit lines established with our correspondent banks. Borrowings are obtained for a variety of reasons which include, but are not limited to, funding loan growth, the purchase of investments in the absence of core deposits, and to provide additional liquidity to meet the demands of depositors.

On June 27, 2019, the Company issued $15.0 million of its 6.35% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes, due June 30, 2029. The Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes for the Company. The Notes have a ten-year term and initially bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 6.35%. Beginning June 30, 2024, the interest rate will reset quarterly to the then-current three-month LIBOR plus 466 basis points. On July 1, 2019, with the approval of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Company used $4.1 million of the proceeds from the Notes to acquire an additional 20% of the stock of ASC Trust LLC, formerly ASC Trust Corporation, at the second closing pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 27, 2016, between the Company and David J. John, as amended to date.  On July 5, 2019, $10.0 million of the balance of the proceeds from the Notes was also used to purchase ten (10) shares of Series B Common Stock from the Bank, with a par value of $1.0 million per share, to support the Bank’s strategic growth.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and at December 31, 2016,2019, the Company had no short-term borrowings.

Liquidity

We actively manage our liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet our needs for cash, including cash needed to fund new loans and to accommodate deposit withdrawals and other transactions by our customers. We project future sources and uses of funds, and maintain additional liquid funds for unanticipated events. Our primary sources of cash include cash we have in deposits at other financial institutions, the repayment of loans, proceeds from the sale or maturity of investment securities, and increases in deposits. The primary uses of cash include funding new loans and making advances on existing lines of credit, purchasing investments, funding new residential mortgage loans, funding deposit withdrawals, and paying operating expenses. From time to time, we may maintain funds in overnight Federal Funds and other short-term investments to provide for short-term liquidity needs. We also have established, for contingency funding purposes, credit lines with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Federal Home Loan Bank-Seattle, and correspondent commercial banks in the U.S. We believe that our liquid assets, together with our available credit lines, will be sufficient to meet normal operating requirements for at least the next twelve months, including to enable us to meet any increase in withdrawals from depository accounts that might occur in the foreseeable future.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, our liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits with financial institutions (excluding restricted cash), and investment securities available for saleavailable-for-sale totaled $668.5$540.1 million, up $72.0$31.3 million from $596.5$508.8 million at December 31, 2016.2019. This increase is due to the $82.2 million rise in available-for-sale securities, partially offset by a decreasecomprised of $9.7increases of $28.4 million in interest bearing deposits in banks, and the reduction of $529 thousand$7.6 million in investment securities available-for-sale, offset by a $4.8 million decrease in cash and due from banks.


Management believes we have sufficient cash to meet the demands of the distribution of funds under the CARES Act. However, we will monitor our vault cash on a daily basis, and if the need arises we will acquire additional cash by drawing down our deposits with other financial institutions.  

Contractual Obligations

The Bank utilizes facilities, equipment and land under various operating leases with terms, including renewal options, ranging from 1 to 99 years. Some

The following table provides the maturities of these leases include scheduled rent increases. The total amount of the rent is being debited to expense on the straight-line method over the lease terms in accordance with ASU Topic 840 “Leases”. The Bank has recorded a deferred obligation of $972 thousand and $926 thousand as of September 30, 2017, and Decemberliabilities at March 31, 2016, respectively, which has been included within other liabilities to reflect the excess of rent expense over cash paid on the leases.

Off-BalanceOff Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Bank is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to financial instruments for loan commitments and letters of credit, is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Bank follows essentially the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

A summary of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016,2019, is as follows:

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


Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party or the shipment of merchandise from a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Almost all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is effectively the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments.

The Bank considers its standby and commercial letters of credit to be guarantees. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the maximum undiscounted future payments that the Bank could be required to make was $57.1$59.0 million. Almost all of these arrangements mature within one year. The Bank generally has recourse to recover from the customer any amounts paid under these guarantees. Most of the guarantees are fully collateralized; however, several that are extended to the Bank’s most creditworthy customers are unsecured. The Bank has recorded $22.5$36 thousand in reserve liabilities associated with commitments to extend credit and letters of credit at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2020.

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans serviced for others were $206.8$186.4 million and $211.0$189.5 million at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016,2019, respectively. On September 30, 2017,At March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016,2019, the Bank recorded mortgage servicing rights each at their fair value of $1.5 million and $1.5$1.7 million, respectively.

Capital Resources

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the United States 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’s and the Bank’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet or exceed specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

49


Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital and Common Equity Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes that, asAs of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2016,2019, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

In December 2010,As of March 31, 2020, the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision (“Basel Committee”) released its final framework for strengthening international capital and liquidity regulation, now officially identified as “Basel III,” which, when fully phased-in, would require bank holding companies and their bank subsidiaries to maintain substantially more capital than had previously been required, with a greater emphasis on common equity.

In July 2013, the U.S. banking regulatory agencies approved the U.S. version of Basel III. The version of Basel III adopted revises the risk-based and leverage capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with Basel III and to meet the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. Many of the rules apply on a phased-in basis to all banking organizations, including the Company and the Bank. Among other things, the rules establish a new minimum common equity Tier 1 ratio (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), a higher minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital requirement (6.0% of risk-weighted assets) and a minimum non-risk-based leverage ratio (4.00%). An additional capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk weighted assets over each of the requiredBank’s capital ratios will be phased in from 2016 to 2019 (1.25% in 2017 and 0.625% in 2016) and must be met to avoid limitations on the ability of the Company and the Bank to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses. At September 30, 2017, the actual capital conservation buffer was 5.23% and 4.87% for the Company and the Bank, respectively, and the minimum conservation buffer requirement was 1.25%. The new rules assign higher risk weighting to credit exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The rules also change the permitted composition of Tier 1 capital to exclude trust preferred securities, mortgage servicing rights and certain deferred tax assets, and include unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt and equity securities (through a one-time opt out option for Standardized Banks (banks with less than $250 billion of total consolidated assets and less than $10 billion of foreign exposures) which the Company and the Bank elected at March 31, 2015). The rules, including alternative requirements for smaller community financial institutions like the Company and the Bank, will be phased in through 2019.


As of September 30, 2017, the most recent notification fromeach exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank asCorporation’s well capitalized standards under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There have been no conditions or events since the most recent FDIC notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, are also presented in the table.

Since the formation of BankGuam Holding Company in 2011, our assets have grown by 82.8%80.7% ($913.5890.2 million), while our stockholders’ equity has grown by 56.4% ($50.092.9% (82.4 million, including $38.3$59.7 million in retained earnings). The difference between these growth ratesin equity has challengedhelped to increase our ability to maintain our historically strong capital ratios. In order to supportratios, and those ratios remain well above the Company’s continued growthwell capitalized standards. During the fourth quarter of 2017 and to provide sufficient resources to expand our subsidiary holdings, the Board approvedfirst quarter of 2018, the issuance of up to $10.0Company issued an additional $4.2 million in non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, issued to various accredited and a limited number of non-accredited investors, of which $9.8 million was issued during the year ended December 31, 2016, when the offering was closed. On September 27, 2017, the Company filed a Form S-1/A, an amended general form for registration of securities, for the issuance of up to $20.0 million in additional common stock subscriptionsin an SEC-registered public offering at a purchase price of $12.25 per common share.

The Bank anticipates a large influx of deposits from federal relief programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and understands the adverse impact it will have on its Tier 1 capital (to average assets).

Contingency Planning and Cybersecurity

The services provided by banks are crucial to the continuing performance of the economy, so it is very important that banks are able to conduct business as usual on an ongoing basis. In light of this, the Bank has developed a comprehensive business continuity plan to address whatevermanage disruptions may directlythat affect customers or change internal processes, whether caused by man-made or natural events. Training in the plan components is conducted annually, and risk-based testing of the major processes and procedures within the Bank occur on a regular basis. In modern banking, technology has taken on an increasingly important role, and the Bank also has a technology recovery component incorporated into the business continuity plan that provides specific, detailed procedures for recovering quickly from anya technology failure. The technology recovery procedures are actively tested and are also implemented from time to time. The recovery time objectives for allthe Bank’s major technological processes range from eight hours to 80 hours, with the goal of enabling the Bank to maintain or resume operations with a minimum impact on its customers. As the results of testing are analyzed and as technology continues to advance, improvements are made in the Bank’s processes and procedures as the plan evolves.evolves, although there can be no assurance that business disruption or operational losses will not occur.

The rapid advances in computing and telecommunications technology over the past several decades have brought with them increasingly sophisticated methods of delivering financial services through electronic channels. Along with these advances, though, have come risks regarding the integrity and privacy of data, and these risks apply to banking, perhaps more than any other industry, falling into the general classification of cybersecurity. The Bank has made substantial investments in multiple systems to ensure both the integrity of its data and the protection of the privacy of its customers’ personal financial and identity information. While it is not possible for anyone to give an absolute guarantee that data will not be compromised, the Bank is confident that its systemsstrives to provide a reasonable assurance that the financial and personal data that it holds are secure.

 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rules 13a-1513a-15(e) and 15d-1515d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, in connection with the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2020. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s Rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition and results of operationsThere are subject to various risks, including those discussed below and inno material changes from the section entitledrisk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in ourthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Other than2019, except as reflected below, there have been no material changes from the risks contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Our business may be adversely affected by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions generally.described below.

The United States economy is recovering, moderately, from a downturn that started in 2007, but business activityongoing COVID-19 pandemic and growth across industries and regions have not yet been fully restored. There are indications that the recovery is accelerating, and the decision of the Federal Open Market Committee, which guides current monetary policy actions on behalf of the Federal Reserve System in carrying out its broader monetary policies, to raise its target interest rate on December 14, 2016, expressed its confidence in the sustainability of recent economic growth in the United States. Consumer spending, liquidity and availability of credit are modestly improving, and the unemployment rate in the United States has fallen by more than half since October 2009, and the Federal Open Market Committee has raised its target Fed Funds rate twice since the beginning of 2017. Nonetheless, the unemployment rate is still relatively high in the principal island markets we serve.

The financial services industry was materially and adversely affected by the weakened economy and by the monetary policy responsesmeasures intended to correct that weakness. The negative effect of historically low market interest rates reduced our interest rate margin despite us having established minimum rate levels on our variable rate loans. In order to retain core deposits and as a reputational matter, our consumer savings account rates have been higher than many of our competitors’ offerings for the past eight years. The slow recovery of the economy and continued elevated unemployment may negatively impact our operating results; however, the Bank has not experienced any adverse liquidity issues in recent years. Additionally, adverse changes in the economy may have a negative effect on the ability of our borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans. These factors could expose us to an increased risk of loan defaults and losses, and have an adverse impact on our earnings.

Recent legislative and required regulatory initiatives will impose restrictions and requirements on financial institutions that could have an adverse effect on our business.

Current and future legal and regulatory requirements, restrictions, and regulations, including those imposed under the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which was enacted in response to the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent economic weakness, may adversely impact our profitability, financial condition and operations; may require us to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make any changes required by the legislation and related regulations; and may make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and employees. Few provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act were effective immediately, with various provisions becoming effective in stages. Many of the provisions required governmental agencies to implement rules that have increased regulation of the banking industry. As examples, these rules impact the ability of banks to charge certain fees and impose new restrictions on lending practices. The Dodd-Frank Act created a new financial consumer protection agency, known as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “Bureau”), that is empowered to promulgate new consumer protection regulations and revise existing regulations in many areas of consumer compliance, which may increase our regulatory compliance burden and costs, and may restrict the financial products and services we offer to our customers.

The Dodd-Frank Act prohibits new trust preferred issuances from counting as Tier 1 capital. These restrictions limit our future capital strategies. Although neither the Bank nor the Company use derivative transactions, the Dodd-Frank Act also increases regulation of derivatives and hedging transactions, which could limit our ability in the future to enter into, or increase the costs associated with, interest rate and other hedging transactions. Although certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, such as direct supervision by the Bureau, will not apply to banking organizations with less than $10 billion of assets, such as the Company, the changes resulting from the legislation will impact our business nonetheless. These and future changes may have a material, adverse effect on our business, our financial condition and the results of our operations.

Implementation of the new Basel III capital rules adopted by the federal bank regulatory agencies will require increased capital levels that could impede our growth and profitability.

The federal bank regulatory agencies adopted new capital requirements in mid-2013 that increased the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, added a new minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio, established a new capital conservation buffer and changed the risk-weighting of certain assets. These requirements, initially implemented beginning in January 2015, are being phased in through 2019, providing banks with adequate time to adjust their balance sheets. Management has assessed the effects of the new rules on the Company and the Bank’s capital position. Although we currently exceed the new minimum requirements, they could have a material and adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources, financial performance and financial condition in the future.


Any future FDIC insurance premium increases will adversely affect our earnings.

FDIC-insured financial institutions, including the Bank, are charged premiums to maintain the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund at a certain level. In 2009, the FDIC collected a special assessment and revisedprevent its risk-based assessment system to replenish the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund, which had been depleted by rising levels of bank failures and associated costs. In recent years, deposit premiums have decreased as the level of bank failures has returned to historical norms. However, if the costs of future bank failures increase, deposit insurance premiums may also increase, and there can be no assurance that assessments will not be changed in the future. Our FDIC deposit insurance expense for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Our profitability is dependent upon the economic conditions of the markets in which we operate.

We operate on ten relatively remote Pacific islands and in San Francisco, California, and, as a result, our financial condition and results of operations are affected by changes in the economic conditions in those areas. Our success depends upon the business activity, population, income levels, deposits and lending activity in these markets. Because some of our customers’ business and financial interests may extend well beyond these market areas, adverse economic conditions that affect those other market areas could reduce our growth rate, affect the ability of those customers to repay their loans, and generally affect our financial condition and results of operations. Other than in San Francisco, our lending operations are located in market areas dependent on tourism and fishing, along with a military presence and other federal government activities in Guam. Although the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands suffered setbacks in recent years because of a decline in its visitor industry, the failure of its garment industry and widespread typhoon damage, new construction activity and increased visitor arrivals are supporting a more rapid expansion of the economy. The other island economies have remained relatively stable. However, because of the magnified influence of external events, these small island economies tend to be somewhat more volatile than larger economic systems. Thus, our borrowers could be adversely impacted by a downturn in these sectors of the economy that could reduce the demand for loans and adversely impact the borrowers’ ability to repay their loans, which would, in turn, increase our nonperforming assets. Because of our geographic concentration in several relatively small island economies, we are less able than many regional or national financial institutions to diversify our credit risks across multiple dissimilar markets. In recent years, we have taken the initiative to expand our operations in California in an effort to increase and help to stabilize our profitability.

Our loan portfolio has a large concentration of real estate loans in Guam and in San Francisco, which involves risks specific to real estate values.

A downturn in our real estate markets could adversely affect our business because many of our loans are secured by real estate. Real estate lending (including commercial and construction) is a large portion of our loan portfolio. At September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, approximately $693.5 million (58.2%) and $703.1 million (59.8%), respectively, of our loan portfolio, was secured by various forms of real estate, including residential and commercial real estate. The real estate securing our loan portfolio is concentrated in Guam and San Francisco. From time to time, there have been adverse developments affecting real estate values in one or more of our markets, and the market value of real estate can fluctuate significantly in a short period of time as a result of changing market conditions. Real estate values and real estate markets are generally affected by changes in national, regional or local economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of loans to potential purchasers, changes in tax laws and other governmental statutes, regulations and policies, and acts of nature, such as earthquakes and typhoons. Additionally, commercial real estate lending typically involves larger loan principal amounts and the repayment of the loans generally is dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the properties securing the loans to cover operating expenses and debt service. If real estate values decline, the value of the collateral securing some of our loans could be significantly reduced. Our ability to recover on defaulted loans by foreclosing and selling the real estate collateral would then be diminished and we would be more likely to suffer losses on defaulted loans.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.

Effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports, effectively prevent fraud and to operate successfully as a public company. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and business would be harmed. In addition, failure in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures could cause us to fail to meet the requirements of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act and, as a result, risk errors in our financial reporting to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each calendar quarter, management conducts an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Our performance depends on attracting and retaining key employees and skilled personnel to operate our business effectively, and the loss of one or more of those key personnel may materially and adversely affect our prospects.

Our success is dependent on our ability to recruit and retain qualified, skilled management, loan origination, finance, administrative, marketing and technical personnel to operate our business effectively. Competition for qualified employees and personnel in the


banking industry is intense and there is a limited number of persons with knowledge of, and experience in, the community banking industry in the markets we serve. In particular, our success has been and continues to be highly dependent upon the abilities of key executives, including our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Operating Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, and certain other key employees. Failure to maintain adequate staffing in key positions could adversely impact our operations and our ability to compete. We have implemented a succession plan to help mitigate this risk, including the appointment of two Executive Vice Presidents who will ultimately assume critical executive level positions.

We are subject to credit risk.

There are inherent risks associated with our lending activities. These risks include, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates and changes in the economic conditions in the markets where we operate, as well as those within our region, across the United States and abroad. Increases in interest rates and/or weakening economic conditions could adversely impact the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans or the value of the collateral securing those loans. We are also subject to various laws and regulations that affect our lending activities. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject us to regulatory enforcement action, which could result in the assessment of significant civil money penalties against us.

We seek to mitigate the risks inherent in our loan portfolio by adhering to specific underwriting practices. Although we believe that our underwriting criteria are appropriate for the various kinds of loans we make, we may incur losses on loans that meet our underwriting standards, and these losses may exceed the amounts set aside as reserves in our allowance for loan losses. Due to economic conditions in the recent past, many lending institutions, including the Bank, experienced declines in the performance of their loans, including consumer and commercial loans. The value of real estate collateral supporting some commercial loans declined and may decline again in the future. Developments in the financial industry and credit markets may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

Our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan losses, which could adversely affect our earnings.

We maintain an allowance for loan losses for possible defaults and other reductions in the principal value of the Bank’s loan portfolio. The allowance is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio and the general economy. The allowance is also appropriately increased for new loan growth. The allowance is based upon a number of factors, including the size of the loan portfolio, asset classifications, economic trends, industry experience and trends, industry and geographic concentrations, estimated collateral values, management’s assessment of the credit risk inherent in the portfolio, historical loan loss experience and loan underwriting policies.

We strive to carefully manage and monitor credit quality and to identify deteriorating loans, and adjust the allowance for loan losses accordingly. However, because future events are uncertain and because we may not successfully identify all deteriorating loans in a timely manner, there may be loans that deteriorate in an accelerated time frame. As a result, future additions to the allowance may be necessary. Further, because the loan portfolio contains some commercial real estate, construction, and land development loans with relatively large balances, deterioration in the credit quality of one or more of these loans may require a significant increase to the allowance for loan losses. Future additions to the allowance may also be required due to changes in the financial condition of borrowers, such as changes resulting from potentially worsening economic conditions, or as a result of incorrect assumptions by management in determining the allowance for loan losses. Our regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our allowance for loan losses by making additional provisions for loan losses, charged as an expense, or to decrease our allowance for loan losses by recognizing loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. Any such additional provisions for loan losses or charge-offs, whether required by regulatory agencies or not, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Nonperforming assets take significant time to resolve and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

At September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, nonperforming loans were 0.45% and 0.56%, respectively, of the total loan portfolio, and 0.27% and 0.34%, respectively, of total assets, as compared to 0.54% and 0.78% at December 31, 2015, respectively, indicating a reduced level of risk. Nonperforming assets adversely affect our earnings in various ways. Depending upon economic and market conditions, we may incur losses relating to an increase in nonperforming assets. We do not record interest income on non-accrual loans or other real estate owned, thereby adversely affecting our income, and increasing our loan administration costs. Upon foreclosure or similar proceedings, we record the foreclosed asset at the fair value of the asset, reduced by estimated selling costs, which may result in a loss. An increase in the level of nonperforming assets increases our risk profile and may impact the capital levels our regulators believe are appropriate in light of the increased risk profile. While we reduce problem assets through collection efforts, asset sales, workouts, restructurings and otherwise, decreases in the value of the underlying collateral or in these borrowers’ performance or financial condition, whether or not due to economic and market conditions beyond our control, could adversely affect our business, our results of operations and our financial condition.

In addition, the resolution of nonperforming assets requires significant commitments of time from management and our directors, which can hinder the performance of their other responsibilities. If economic and market conditions worsen, it is possible that we will


experience future increases in nonperforming assets, particularly if we are unsuccessful in our efforts to reduce our classified assets, which would have an adverse effect on our business.

We may be required to make additional provisions for loan losses and charge off additional loans in the future, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

At September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we recorded a $3.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of provision for loan losses, charged off $5.0 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of loans, and recovered $1.2 million and $3.0 million of loans, respectively, previously charged off. During those same periods, we had $693.5 million and $703.1 million, respectively, in commercial and residential real estate loans and construction loans, of which $12.2 million and $12.8 million, respectively, was on non-accrual. Construction loans and commercial real estate loans comprise a substantial portion of our nonperforming assets. Deterioration in the real estate market in Guam, San Francisco and/or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands could affect the ability of our loan customers to service their debt, which could result in additional loan charge-offs and provisions for loan losses in the future, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and capital.

Our business is subject to interest rate risk and variations in interest rates may negatively affect our financial performance.

Our earnings and cash flows are highly dependent upon net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on interest-bearing assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowed funds. Our net interest income (including net interest spread and margin) and ultimately our earnings are impacted by changes in interest rates and monetary policy. Changes in interest rates and monetary policy can impact the demand for new loans, the credit profile of our borrowers, the yields earned on loans and securities, and the rates paid on deposits and borrowings. Given our current volume and mix of interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets, we expect our interest rate spread (the difference in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and the yields earned on interest-earning assets) as well as net interest income to increase as interest rates rise and, conversely, to decline if interest rates fall. Additionally, increasing levels of in-market and out-of-market competition in the banking and financial services business may decrease our net interest spread as well as net interest margin by forcing us to offer lower lending interest rates and pay higher deposit interest rates. Although we believe our current level of interest rate sensitivity is reasonable, significant fluctuations in interest rates (such as a sudden and substantial increase in Prime and Fed Funds rates) as well as increasing competition may require us to increase rates on deposits at a faster pace than the yield we receive on interest-earning assets increases. The impact of any sudden and substantial move in interest rates and/or increased competition may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as our net interest income may be adversely affected.

Additionally, a sustained decrease in market interest rates could negatively affect our earnings. When interest rates decline, borrowers tend to refinance higher-rate, fixed-rate loans at lower rates, prepaying their existing loans. Under those circumstances, we would not be able to reinvest those prepayments in assets earning interest rates as high as the rates on the prepaid loans or at all if the borrower refinances with another lender. In addition, our commercial loans, which carry variable interest rates that generally adjust in accordance with changes in the prime rate, will adjust to lower rates as we place funds in lower-yielding investments. Because of this, we have established minimum interest rates on those loans to mitigate our interest rate risk and potential reductions in income.

We are also significantly affected by the level of loan demand available in our markets. The inability to make sufficient loans directly affects the interest income we earn. Lower loan demand will generally result in lower interest income realized as we place funds in lower-yielding investments.

Liquidity risk could impair our ability to fund operations and jeopardize our financial condition.

Liquidity is essential to our business. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale of loans and other sources could have a substantial negative effect on our liquidity. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically or the financial services industry in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business activity due to a market downturn in markets in which our loans are concentrated, a change in our financial condition or adverse regulatory action against us. Our ability to borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a severe disruption of the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole.

If we lost a significant portion of our low-cost deposits, it would negatively impact our liquidity and profitability.

Our profitability depends in part on our success in attracting and retaining a stable base of low-cost deposits. At September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, 28.0% and 26.4%, respectively, of our deposit base was comprised of non-interest bearing deposits, and the average rate on our interest-bearing deposits during 2016 and the first nine months of 2017 was 0.17%. While we generally do not believe these core deposits are very sensitive to interest rate fluctuations, the competition for these deposits in our markets is strong. If we were to lose a significant portion of our low-cost deposits, it could negatively impact our liquidity and profitability. To help to mitigate this risk, we actively monitor our competitors’ deposit interest rates and will adjust our rates accordingly in order to maintain our deposit base.


We may be the subject of litigation, which could result in legal liability and damage to our business and reputation.

From time to time, we may be subject to claims or legal action from customers, employees or others. Financial institutions like the Company and the Bank are facing a growing number of significant class actions, including those based on the manner of calculation of interest on loans and the assessment of overdraft fees. Future litigation could include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. We are also involved from time to time in other reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by governmental and other agencies regarding our business. These matters also could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief. Like other large financial institutions, we are also subject to risk from potential employee misconduct, including non-compliance with policies and improper use or disclosure of confidential information.

Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and any claims asserted against us, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm our reputation. Should the ultimate judgments or settlements in any litigation exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may not be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future, nor may we be able to obtain adequate replacement policies with acceptable terms, if at all.

If we are limited in our ability to originate loans secured by commercial real estate we may face greater risk in our loan portfolio.

Federal banking agencies have issued guidance regarding high concentrations of commercial real estate loans within bank loan portfolios. The guidance requires financial institutions that exceed certain levels of commercial real estate lending compared with their total capital to maintain heightened risk management practices that address the following key elements: board and management oversight and strategic planning, portfolio management, development of underwriting standards, risk assessment and monitoring through market analysis and stress testing, and maintenance of increased capital levels as needed to support the level of commercial real estate lending. If there is any deterioration in our commercial real estate portfolio or if our regulators conclude that we have not implemented appropriate risk management practices, it could adversely affect our business, and could result in the requirement to maintain increased capital levels. Such capital may not be available at that time, and may result in our regulators requiring us to reduce our concentration in commercial real estate loans.

If because of our concentration of commercial real estate loans, or for any other reasons, we are limited in our ability to originate loans secured by commercial real estate, our results of operations may be negatively impacted and we may incur greater risk in our loan portfolio.

The laws and regulations, including the Dodd-Frank Act, applicable to the banking industry could change at any time, and these changes may adversely affect our business and profitability.

We are subject to extensive federal and state regulation. Because government regulation greatly affects the business and financial results of all commercial banks and bank holding companies, our cost of compliance could adversely affect our ability to operate profitably. The increased scope, complexity, and cost of corporate governance, reporting, and disclosure practices are proportionately higher for a company of our size and will affect our profitability more than that of some of our larger competitors. We expect to experience increasing compliance costs related to this supervision and regulation.

Also, the 2016 national election results and new administration have introduced additional uncertainty into future implementation and enforcement of the Dodd-Frank Act and other financial sector regulatory requirements. Such additional regulation and supervision may increase our costs and limit our ability to pursue business opportunities. The effects of any such recently enacted, or proposed, legislation and regulatory programs on us cannot reliably be determined at this time.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) recently issued “ability-to-repay” and “qualified mortgage” rules that may have a negative impact on our loan origination process and foreclosure proceedings, which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

On January 10, 2013, the CFPB issued a final rule to implement the “qualified mortgage” provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act requiring mortgage lenders to consider consumers’ ability to repay home loans before extending them credit. The CFPB’s “qualified mortgage” rule, which became effective on January 10, 2014, describes certain minimum requirements for lenders making ability-to-repay determinations, but does not dictate that they follow particular underwriting models. Lenders will be presumed to have complied with the ability-to-repay rule if they issue “qualified mortgages,” which are generally defined as mortgage loans prohibiting or limiting certain risky features. Loans that do not meet the ability-to-repay standard can be challenged in court by borrowers who default, and the absence of ability-to-repay status can be used against a lender in foreclosure proceedings. Any loans that we make outside of the “qualified mortgage” criteria could expose us to an increased risk of liability and reduce or delay our ability to foreclose upon the underlying property. Any decreases in loan origination volume or increases in compliance and foreclosure costs caused by the rule could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. The CFPB also has adopted a number of additional requirements and issued additional guidance, including with respect to appraisals, escrow accounts and servicing, each of which


entails increased compliance costs. In addition, the CFPB likely will continue to make rules relating to consumer protection, and it is difficult to predict which of our products and services will be subject to these rules or how these rules will be implemented.

Compliance with the Dodd-Frank Act has increased our regulatory compliance burdens, and may increase our operating costs and may adversely impact our earnings or capital ratios, or both.

Signed into law on July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act has represented a significant overhaul of many aspects of the regulation of the financial services industry. Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act created the CFPB, tightened capital standards, imposed clearing and margining requirements on many derivatives activities and generally increased oversight and regulation of financial institutions and financial activities.

In addition to the self-implementing provisions of the statute, the Dodd-Frank Act calls for over 200 administrative rulemakings by numerous federal agencies to implement various parts of the legislation. While many rules have been finalized or issued in proposed form, additional rules have yet to be proposed. It is not possible at this time to predict when all such additional rules will be issued, their final form or requirements, their applicability to the Company or the Bank, or when they will be implemented.

The cost of complying with the new consumer protection regulations and policies could adversely affect our business.

The Dodd-Frank Act created the CFPB, a new regulatory entity with broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The CFPB has extensive rulemaking authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to banks and other types of lenders, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. It also has examination and enforcement authority over all banks with more than $10 billion in assets. Institutions with less than $10 billion in assets, like us, are examined for compliance with consumer protection laws by their primary bank regulators, but these regulators defer to the CFPB’s rules and interpretations in evaluating a bank’s compliance with consumer protection laws. Therefore, although the CFPB does not directly supervise us, the actions of the CFPB significantly impact our operations.

The CFPB has set forth numerous rules and guidance documents since its inception concerning a wide range of consumer protection laws, many of which are directly applicable to our operations. For example, the CFPB recently imposed new requirements regarding the origination and servicing of residential mortgage loans, limitations on the manner in which loan originators may be compensated, mandatory disclosures on documentation given to borrowers, and an obligation on the part of lenders to verify a borrower’s “ability to repay” a residential mortgage loan before extending credit, among others. The CFPB likely will continue to make rules relating to consumer protection, and it is difficult to predict which of our products and services will be subject to these rules or how these rules will be implemented. However, compliance with CFPB regulations likely will result in additional operating and compliance costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations and financial condition, and such effects will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

Global health concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions taken to reduce the spread of the virus have impacted the macroeconomic environment, significantly increased economic uncertainty and reduced economic activity. Our business and earnings are closely tied to the economies of Guam, San Francisco, CNMI, FSM, RMI and ROP. These local economies rely heavily on tourism, real estate, construction, and other service-based industries. Lower visitor arrivals or cash flows.spending, real or threatened acts of war or terrorism, public health issues and the spread of the COVID-19 virus may impact consumer and corporate spending. The impacts of the various travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders and quarantine requirements for visitors to Guam has had a dramatic impact on tourism. These events have contributed to a significant deterioration in general economic conditions in our markets which will adversely impact us and our customers’ operations. It is uncertain how long these conditions will last or how significant the impacts will be.

We have modified our business practices and operations as a result of the spread of COVID-19, including providing loan payment deferrals and adjustments to our commercial and consumer customers. Many of our employees are working from home. These measures could impair our ability to borrow fromperform critical functions and may adversely impact our results of operations.

Federal, state, local and foreign governmental authorities have enacted, and may enact in the Federal Home Loan Bank,future, legislation, regulations and there canprotocols in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including governmental programs intended to provide economic relief to businesses and individuals. Our participation in and execution of any such programs may cause operational, compliance, reputational and credit risks, which could result in litigation, governmental action or other forms of loss. The extent of these impacts, which may be no assurance their programssubstantial, will continue in their current manner.

We have access to funding by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines for term advances; we also borrow from correspondent banks under our Fed Funds lines of credit from time to time, primarily to test the continuing availability of those lines. The amount loaned to us is generally dependentdepend on the valuedegree of our participation in these programs. There remains significant uncertainty regarding the collateral pledged. These lenders could reduce the percentages loaned against various collateral categories, could eliminate their acceptance of certain types of collateral, and could otherwise modify or even terminate their loan programs, particularly to the extent they are required to do so because of capital adequacy or other balance sheet concerns. Any change or termination of the programs under which we borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines or correspondent banks could have an adverse effect on our liquidity and profitability.

Our results of operations may be adversely affected by other-than-temporary impairment charges relating to our securities portfolio.

We may be required to record future impairment charges on our securities, including our stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, if they suffer declines in valuemeasures that we consider other-than-temporary. Numerous factors, including the lack of liquidity for re-sale of certain securities, the absence of reliable pricing information for securities, adverse changes in the business climate, adverse regulatory actions or unanticipated changes in the competitive environment, could have a negative effect on our securities portfolio in future periods. Significant impairment charges could also negatively impact our regulatory capital ratios and result in the Bank not being classified as “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes.

We may need to raise additional capitalauthorities will enact in the future and such capital may not be available when needed or at all.

We may need to raise additional capital in the future to provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet regulatory requirements, our commitments or our business needs. Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend, among other things, on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside of our control, and our financial performance. The loss of confidence in financial institutions may increase our cost of funding and limit our access to some of our customary funding sources, including, but not limited to, inter-bank borrowings and borrowings from the discount windowultimate impact of the Federal Reserve.


We cannot provide assuranceslegislation, regulations and protocols that such capitalhave been and will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Any occurrence that may limit our accessenacted.

The COVID-19 pandemic is creating extensive disruptions to the capital markets, such as a decline inglobal economy and the confidencelives of debt purchasers, depositorsindividuals throughout the world. While the scope, duration and full effects of the Bankpandemic are rapidly evolving and not fully known, the pandemic and related efforts to contain it have disrupted global economic activity, adversely affected the functioning of financial markets, impacted interest rates, increased economic and market uncertainty and disrupted trade and supply chains. If these effects continue for a prolonged period or counterparties participatingresult in sustained economic stress or recession, many of the capital markets, may adversely affect our capital costs and our ability to raise capital and, in turn, our liquidity.

We must effectively manage our growth strategy.

As part of our general growth strategy, we may expand into additional communities or attempt to strengthen our positionrisk factors identified in our current markets by opening new offices. To the extent that we are able to open additional offices, we are likely to temporarily experience theForm 10-K could be exacerbated and such effects of higher operating expenses relative to operating income from the new operations for a period of time, which may have an adverse effect on our levels of reported net income, return on average equity and return on average assets. Our current growth strategies involve internal growth from our current offices and the addition of new offices over time, so that the additional overhead expenses associated with recent openings are absorbed prior to opening other new offices.

We have a nominal amount of deferred tax asset and cannot assure that it will be fully realized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities computed using enacted tax rates. If we determine that we will not achieve sufficient future taxable income to realize our net deferred tax asset, we are required under generally accepted accounting principles to establish a full or partial valuation allowance. If we determine that a valuation allowance is necessary, we are required to incur a charge to operations. We regularly assess available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that our net deferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of a deferred tax asset requires us to apply significant judgment and is inherently speculative because it requires estimates that cannot be made with certainty. At December 31, 2016, we had a net deferred tax asset of $8.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we established a partial valuation allowance of $3.2 million to reduce the net deferred tax asset of $12.8 million because, in management’s opinion, it is more likely than not that only the remaining $8.1 million will be realized. If we were to determine at some point in the future that we will not achieve sufficient future taxable income to realize our net deferred tax asset, we would be required, under generally accepted accounting principles, to establish a full or increase any partial valuation allowance, which would require us to incur a charge to operations for the period in which the determination was made.

We face strong competition from financial service companies and other companies that offer banking services.

We face substantial competition in all phases of our operations from a variety of different competitors. Our competitors, including larger commercial banks, community banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, consumer finance companies, insurance companies, brokers, investment advisors and other financial institutions, compete with the lending and deposit-gathering services we offer. Increased competition in our markets may result in reduced loans and deposits.

Many of these competing institutions have much greater financial and marketing resources than we have. Due to their size, many competitors can achieve larger economies of scale in a broader range of products and services than we can. If we are unable to offer competitively priced products and services, our business may be negatively affected.

Some of the financial services organizations with which we compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation as is imposed on bank holding companies and federally insured financial institutions, and are not subject to increased supervisory oversight arising from regulatory examinations. As a result, these non-bank competitors have certain advantages over us in accessing funding and in providing various services. The banking business in our primary market areas is very competitive, and the level of competition facing us may increase further, which may limit our asset growth and financial results.

In the future, the Bank and/or the Company may become subject to supervisory actions and/or enhanced regulation that could have a material adverse effectimpact on our business, operating flexibility, financial condition and the value of our common stock.

Under federal, state and local laws and regulations pertaining to the safety and soundness of insured depository institutions, various state or local regulators (for non-federally chartered banks), the Federal Reserve Board (for bank holding companies and member banks), the local financial industry regulators of the various jurisdictions in which the Bank operates and, separately, the FDIC as the insurer of bank deposits, each have the authority to compel or restrict certain activities on our part if they determine that we have insufficient capital or are otherwise operatingus in a manner that may be deemednumber of ways related to be inconsistent with safe and sound banking practices. Under their respective authority, our bank regulators can require us to enter into informal or formal enforcement orders, including board resolutions, memoranda of understanding, written agreements, and consent or cease and desist orders, pursuant to which we may be required to take identified corrective actions to address cited concerns or to refrain from taking certain actions. Neither the Bank nor the Company is currently operating under any regulatory enforcement orders.

Technology is continually changing and we must effectively implement new technologies.

The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables us to reduce costs. Our future success will depend in part upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy their demands for convenience, as well as to create additional efficiencies in our


credit, collateral, capital, customer demand, funding, liquidity, operations, as we continue to grow and expand our geographic and product markets. In order to anticipate and develop new technology, we employ a qualified staff of internal information system specialists and consider this area a core part of our business. We do not develop our own software products, but have been able to respond to technological changes in a timely manner through association with leading technology vendors. We must continue to make substantial investments in technology, which may affect our results of operations. If we are unable to make such investments, or we are unable to respond to technological changes in a timely manner, our operating costs may increase, which could adversely affect our operating results.

System failure or breaches of our network security could subject us to increased operating costs as well as litigation and other potential liabilities.

The computer systems and network infrastructure we use could be vulnerable to problems. Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect our computer equipment against damage from physical theft, fire, power loss, telecommunications failure or a similar catastrophic event, as well as from security breaches, denial of service attacks, viruses, worms and other disruptive problems caused by malicious parties. Any damage or failure that causes an interruption in our operations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Computer break-ins and other disruptions could also jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted through our computer systems and network infrastructure, which may result in significant liability to us and may cause existing and potential customers to refrain from doing business with us. We employ external auditors to conduct auditing and testing for weaknesses in our systems, controls, firewalls and encryption to reduce the likelihood of any security failures or breaches, as well as both internal and external monitoring systems to detect and report any attempt to overcome our electronic defenses. Although we, with the help of third-party service providers and auditors, intend to continue to implement effective security technology and establish operational procedures to prevent such damage, there can be no assurance that these security measures will ultimately be successful. In addition, advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments could result in a compromise or breach of the algorithms we and our third-party service providers use to encrypt and protect customer transaction data. A failure of such security measures would present a reputationalinterest rate risk, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.human capital.

Breaches of third parties’ network security could subject us to increased operating costs and other liabilities.

In recent years, there have been numerous highly publicized breaches of customer databases maintained by both public and private entities, often compromising personally identifiable information. The Bank has established systems to mitigate the possibility that some of this information could be used fraudulently to open deposit and/or loan accounts.  Despite all reasonable efforts, though, we are unable to be absolutely certain that the risk of that form of fraud is entirely eliminated.

Further, some of these third party data breaches have compromised credit card information, creating an opportunity to defraud the Bank and its credit card customers by initiating fraudulent charges using the compromised card information. Although efforts are being made in the U.S. Congress to reassign the liability for these fraudulent charges to the third parties whose systems have been breached, unless and until that reassignment is made, the Bank retains potential liabilities associated with those fraudulent charges. Also, when it is known that a credit card has been compromised, the Bank incurs costs in replacing the card. As a result, a third-party network security breach could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the results of our operations.

Managing operational risk is important to attracting and maintaining customers, investors and employees.

Operational risk represents the risk of loss resulting from our operations, including but not limited to, the risk of fraud by employees or persons outside the Bank, the execution of unauthorized transactions by employees, transaction processing errors and breaches of the internal control system, and failure to effectively meet compliance requirements. This risk of loss also includes the potential legal actions that could arise as a result of an operational deficiency or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards, adverse business decisions or their implementation, and customer attrition due to potential negative publicity. Operational risk is inherent in all business activities and the management of this risk is important to the achievement of our business objectives. In the event of a breakdown in our internal control system, improper operation of systems or improper employee actions, we could suffer financial loss, face regulatory action and suffer damage to our reputation. We have a stringent code of ethics and attendant procedures in place to protect our reputation and promote ethical conduct, but these policies and procedures might not be fully effective. Negative publicity regarding our business, employees, or customers, with or without merit, may result in the loss of customers, investors and employees, costly litigation, a decline in revenues and increased regulatory oversight.

Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other external events could significantly impact our business.

Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other adverse external events or conditions could have a significant impact on our ability to conduct business. Such events or conditions could affect the stability of our deposit base, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral securing loans, cause significant property damage, result in loss of revenue and/or cause us to incur additional expenses. For example, our primary market areas in Guam and the CNMI are subject to typhoons, earthquakes and wildland fires. Operations in our market could be disrupted by both the evacuation of large portions of the population as well as damage and/or lack of access to our banking and operational facilities. While we have experienced severe weather and strong earthquakes in the past and resumed our operations promptly, a recurrence of these, along with acts of war,


terrorism or other adverse external events or conditions, may occur in the future. Although management has established a business continuity plan, disaster recovery policies and corresponding procedures, the occurrence of any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Uncertain geopolitical conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business and the markets which we serve, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Our business is subject to geopolitical conditions in the western Pacific, including concerns over North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. In recent months, there have been heightened security concerns regarding North Korea’s nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missile programs. This has resulted in increased uncertainty regarding both North Korea’s actions and those of the United States. If North Korea were to take an aggressive action, including acts of war, the markets we serve may be disrupted and our business operations could be affected as well. Any of these events could result in a decline in the market price of shares of our common stock.
