The balance of Main Street Lending Program (“MSLP”) loans participated and serviced totaled $58.0 million and $56.3 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, with $3.1 million and $4.8 million in MSLP loans on the balance sheet and included in commercial and industrial loans at March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company, at times, purchases individual loans at fair value as of the acquisition date. Purchased loans with remaining balances totaled $11.8 million and $12.8 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Unamortized premiums totaled $201,000 and $223,000 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are amortized into interest income over the life of the loans. The Company has purchased participation loans with remaining balances totaling $26.1 million and $27.9 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company purchased loans from a CCBX partner, at par, through agreements with that CCBX partner, and those loans had a remaining balance of $111.5 million as of March 31, 2022 and $59.7 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company recorded a receivable from the seller, which is secured by small dollar consumer and business loans. As of March 31, 2022, $107.5 million is included in consumer and other loans and $4.0 million are in commercial and industrial loans, compared to $59.7 million in consumer and other loans as of December 31, 2021. The following is a summary of the Company’s loan portfolio segments: Commercial and industrial loans – Commercial and industrial loans are secured by business assets including inventory, receivables and machinery and equipment of businesses located generally in the Company’s primary market area and capital calls on venture and investment funds. Loan types include PPP loans, revolving lines of credit, term loans, and loans secured by liquid collateral such as cash deposits or marketable securities. Also included in commercial and industrial loans are loans to other financial institutions. Additionally, the Company issues letters of credit on behalf of its customers. Risk arises primarily due to the difference between expected and actual cash flows of the borrowers. In addition, the recoverability of the Company’s investment in these loans is also dependent on other factors primarily dictated by the type of collateral securing these loans. The fair value of the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate as market conditions change. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the recovery of the Company’s investment is dependent upon the borrower’s ability to collect amounts due from its customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, $218.7 million in CCBX capital call lines are included in commercial and industrial loans compared to $202.9 million at December 31, 2021. Capital call lines are provided to venture capital firms. These loans are secured by the capital call rights and are individually underwritten to the Bank’s credit standards and the underwriting is reviewed by the Bank on every line/loan. Construction, land and land development loans – The Company originates loans for the construction of 1-4 family, multifamily, and Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”) properties in the Company’s market area. Construction loans are considered to have higher risks due to construction completion and timing risk, the ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, government regulation of real property and the availability of long-term financing. Additionally, economic conditions may impact the Company’s ability to recover its investment in construction loans, as adverse economic conditions may negatively impact the real estate market, which could affect the borrower’s ability to complete and sell the project. Additionally, the fair value of the underlying collateral may fluctuate as market conditions change. The Company occasionally originates land loans for the purpose of facilitating the ultimate construction of a home or commercial building. The primary risks include the borrower’s ability to pay and the inability of the Company to recover its investment due to a material decline in the fair value of the underlying collateral. Residential real estate loans – Residential real estate includes various types of loans for which the Company holds real property as collateral. Included in this segment are multi-family loans, first and second lien single family loans, which the Company occasionally purchases to diversify its loan portfolio, and rental portfolios secured by one-to-four family homes. The primary risks of residential real estate loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the collateral, and significant increases in interest rates which may make the loan unprofitable. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, $84.2 million in CCBX loans are included in residential real estate loans, compared to $36.9 million at December 31, 2021. Commercial real estate (includes owner occupied and nonowner occupied) loans – Commercial real estate loans include various types of loans for which the Company holds real property as collateral. We make commercial mortgage loans collateralized by owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied real estate, as well as multi-family residential loans. The primary risks of commercial real estate loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the collateralized real estate and significant increases in interest rates, which may make the real estate loan unprofitable. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. Consumer and other loans – The community bank originates a limited number of consumer loans, generally for banking customers only, which consist primarily of home equity lines of credit, saving account secured loans, and auto loans. This loan category also includes overdrafts. Repayment of these loans is dependent on the borrower’s ability to pay and the fair value of the underlying collateral For the three months ended March 31, 2022, $208.4 million in CCBX loans are included in consumer and other loans compared to $106.8 million at December 31, 2021. CCBX consumer loans include credit cards, consumer term loans and lines of credit.

The restructured loans on accrual status represent the only impaired loans accruing interest. In order for a restructured loan to be considered for accrual status, the loan’s collateral coverage generally will be greater than or equal to 100 % of the loan balance, the loan is current on payments, and the borrower must either prefund an interest reserve or demonstrate the ability to make payments from a verified source of cash flow for an extended period of time, usually at least six months in duration. No loans were restructured in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 that qualified as TDRs. The Company has no commitments to loan additional funds to borrowers whose loans were classified as TDRs at March 31, 2022, as there were no outstanding TDRs at March 31, 2022. Pursuant to guidance from the federal bank regulatory agencies, the Company deferred or modified payments on existing loans to assist customers financially during the COVID-19 pandemic and economic shutdown. As of March 31, 2022 all deferred and modified loans during the COVID-19 pandemic have either returned to active status or paid off. In accordance with GAAP, the CARES Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, and interagency guidance issued on March 22, 2020 and April 7, 2020, these short-term modifications, made on a good faith basis in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to borrowers that were current prior to any relief, were not considered TDRs. Generally, the accrual of interest on community bank loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due or when they are 90 days past due as to either principal or interest, unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. Installment/closed-end, and revolving/open-end consumer loans originated by CCBX lending partners will continue to accrue interest until 120 and 180 days past due, respectively. For these loans, an allowance is recorded through provision expense for probable incurred losses. Any principal and interest outstanding on revolving/open-end loans at greater than 180 days past due is charged off against the allowance. Any accrued interest outstanding on installment/closed-end loans at 120 days past due is reversed against the accrued interest allowance. These consumer loans are reported out as substandard, 90+ days past due and still accruing. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all accrued interest is reversed from current period earnings. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are generally applied as a reduction to the loan principal balance. If the likelihood of further loss is removed, the Company will recognize interest on a cash basis only. Loans may be returned to accruing status if the Company believes that all remaining principal and interest is fully collectible and there has been at least six months of sustained repayment performance since the loan was placed on nonaccrual. An analysis of nonaccrual loans by category consisted of the following at the periods indicated: March 31, December 31, 2022 2021 Commercial and industrial loans $ 130 $ 166 Real estate loans: Residential real estate 54 55 Total nonaccrual loans $ 184 $ 221 Credit Quality and Credit Risk Federal regulations require that the Company periodically evaluate the risks inherent in its loan portfolio. In addition, the Company’s regulatory agencies have authority to identify problem loans and, if appropriate, require them to be reclassified. There are three classifications for problem loans: Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss. Substandard loans have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful loans have the weaknesses of loans classified as Substandard, with additional characteristics that suggest the weaknesses make collection or recovery in full after liquidation of collateral questionable on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. Revolving (open-ended loans, such as credit cards) and installment (closed end) consumer loans originated by CCBX partners continue to accrue interest until they are charged-off at 180 days past due for revolving loans (primarily credit cards) and 120 days past due for installment loans (primarily unsecured loans to consumers). These consumer loans are reported out as 90+ days past due and still accruing, and are classified as substandard. There is a high possibility of loss in loans classified as Doubtful. A loan classified as Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continued classification of the credit as a loan is not warranted. If a loan or a portion thereof is classified as Loss, it must be charged-off, meaning the amount of the loss is charged against the allowance for loan losses, thereby reducing that reserve. The Company also classifies some loans as Watch or Other Loans Especially Mentioned (“OLEM”). Loans classified as Watch are performing assets and classified as pass credits but have elements of risk that require more monitoring than other performing loans and are reported in the OLEM column in the following table. Loans classified as OLEM are assets that continue to perform but have shown deterioration in credit quality and require close monitoring. Loans by credit quality risk rating are as follows as of the periods indicated: Pass Other Loans Especially Mentioned Sub- Standard Doubtful Total (dollars in thousands) March 31, 2022 Commercial and industrial loans $ 387,842 $ 6,262 $ 219 $ - $ 394,323 Real estate loans: Construction, land, and land development 208,108 - - - 208,108 Residential real estate 268,506 116 94 - 268,716 Commercial real estate 873,118 9,464 6,901 - 889,483 Consumer and other loans 208,244 - 2,099 - 210,343 $ 1,945,818 $ 15,842 $ 9,313 $ - 1,970,973 Less net deferred origination fees (6,764 ) Loans receivable $ 1,964,209 December 31, 2021 Commercial and industrial loans $ 416,642 $ 2,180 $ 238 $ - $ 419,060 Real estate loans: Construction, land, and land development 183,594 - - - 183,594 Residential real estate 204,173 122 94 - 204,389 Commercial real estate 824,676 10,911 - - 835,587 Consumer and other loans 107,404 - 1,467 - 108,871 $ 1,736,489 $ 13,213 $ 1,799 $ - 1,751,501 Less net deferred origination fees (8,766 ) Loans receivable $ 1,742,735 Allowance for Loan Losses The Company’s ALLL covers estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans that are determined to be impaired as well as estimated probable losses inherent in the remainder of the loan portfolio. The ALLL for the community bank is prepared using the information provided by the Company’s credit review process and our historical loss data, together with data from peer institutions and economic information gathered from published sources. The loan portfolio is segmented into groups of loans with similar risk profiles. Each segment possesses varying degrees of risk based on the type of loan, the type of collateral, and the sensitivity of the borrower or industry to changes in external factors such as economic conditions. An estimated loss rate calculated from the community bank’s actual historical loss rates adjusted for current portfolio trends, economic conditions, and other relevant internal and external factors, is applied to each group’s aggregate loan balances. CCBX loans have a higher level of expected losses than our community bank loans which is reflected in the factors for the allowance for loan losses. Estimated loss rates for CCBX loans vary by partner, and might be based on actual partner experience, realized losses or losses for comparable products or industry averages. Many of the agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement which protects the Bank by absorbing incurred losses. In accordance with accounting guidance, we estimate and record a provision for probable losses for these CCBX loans. When the provision for loan losses is recorded, a recovery receivable is also recorded on the balance sheet through noninterest income (BaaS fees -credit enhancement). Incurred losses are recorded in the allowance for loan losses, and as the credit enhancement recoveries are received from the CCBX partner, the recovery receivable is relieved.
