ORGANIZATION | NOTE 1 — Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. (a New York Corporation) (the “Company”) is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of Metropolitan Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), its wholly-owned subsidiary. The Bank’s primary market is the New York metropolitan area. The Bank offers a traditional range of commercial banking services to individuals, businesses and others needing banking services. Its primary lending products are commercial real estate loans, multi-family loans, and commercial and industrial loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows from operations of businesses. The Bank’s primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term deposit accounts, and its deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) under the maximum amounts allowed by law. The Bank commenced operations on June 22, 1999. The Company is subject to regulations of certain state and federal agencies and, accordingly, is periodically examined by those regulatory authorities. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities, the Company’s business is susceptible to being affected by state and federal legislation and regulations. |

BASIS OF PRESENTATION | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | NOTE 2 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and predominant practices within the U.S. banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Consolidated Financial Statements (the “financial statements”) reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the years presented. In preparing the financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reported periods. A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows: Use of Estimates : To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash Flows : Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and amounts due from banks and money market funds. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, and other investments. Securities : Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”) when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax. Equity securities with readily determinable fair value are carried at fair value, with change in fair value reported in net income. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted a new accounting standard for Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-01), which required equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Upon adoption, equity securities previously classified as available-for-sale are presented separately on the balance sheet as equity securities. The amount of unrealized gain (loss), net of tax, related to these securities was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, the amendments related equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) are being applied prospectively to equity investments that existed at January 1, 2019. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method. Gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations upon sale. Management evaluates AFS securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the statement of operations and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. Accounts Receivable & Receivable from Prepaid Card Programs, Net : Accounts receivables, net, primarily consist of the Bank’s in-transit items, trade receivables from prepaid debit card programs and other receivables. Receivables from prepaid card programs are predominantly government scheduled payments including financial assistance programs and pensions. Revenue Recognition : Most of the Company’s revenue is derived from interest income on loans. Any revenues from contracts with customers, which are not exempt from the accounting requirements under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, are accounted for using the five-step method prescribed by the ASU. These revenue items are debit card income, service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges . In accordance with the ASU, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. The Company applies the following five steps to properly recognize revenue: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Technology Costs: Technology costs are primarily comprised of licensing fees on certain deposit accounts held by bankruptcy trustees. These accounts require the use of a software interface provided by a third party. Licensing fees amounted to $8.5 million and $1.0 million for 2019 and 2018, respectively. Bankruptcy accounts subject to the licensing fees amounted to $865.8 million and $80.8 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Transfers of Financial Assets : Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. Transfers of financial assets that do not meet the criteria to be accounted for as sales are recorded as secured borrowings. Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses : Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding principal balances, adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount management deems adequate to cover probable incurred credit losses. In determining the level to be maintained, management evaluates many factors, including current economic trends, industry experience, historical loss experience, loan concentrations, the borrower’s ability to repay and repayment performance and estimated collateral values. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. All commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for credit risk at least annually, and all classified loans are individually evaluated for impairment quarterly. Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans such as residential real estate loans are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, are not separately evaluated for impairment disclosures unless the individual loan is classified. 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. When a loan is modified and concessions have been made to the original contractual terms, such as reductions in interest rate or deferral of interest or principal payments, due to the borrower’s financial condition, the modification is known as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). TDRs are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a TDR is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For TDRs that subsequently default, the Bank determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses. The general component of the allowance covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Bank over a rolling two-year period. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects on any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. The following portfolio segments have been identified: Construction loans, Commercial Real Estate loans, Multi-Family loans, One-to-Four Family loans, Commercial & Industrial loans and Consumer loans. The risk characteristics of each of the identified portfolio segments are as follows: Construction — Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction and the estimated cost of construction. During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost overruns. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, additional funds may be required to be advanced in excess of the amount originally committed to permit completion of the building. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the value of the building may be insufficient to assure full repayment if liquidation is required. If foreclosure is required on a building before or at completion due to a default, there can be no assurance that all of the unpaid balance of, and accrued interest on, the loan as well as related foreclosure and holding costs will be recovered. Commercial Real Estate — Commercial real estate loans are secured by nonresidential real estate and generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than residential real estate loans. Repayment of commercial real estate loans depends on the total cash flow analysis of the borrower and the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise, credit history and profitability, and the value of the underlying property. Of primary concern in commercial real estate lending is the borrower’s creditworthiness and the cash flows from the property. Payments on loans secured by income properties often depend on successful operation and management of the properties. As a result, repayment of such loans may be subject, to a greater extent than residential real estate loans, to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. Commercial real estate is also subject to adverse market conditions that cause a decrease in market value or lease rates, obsolescence in location or function and market conditions associated with oversupply of units in a specific region. Multi-family — Multi-family real estate loans are secured by multi-family real estate and generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than residential real estate loans. Repayment of multi-family real estate loans depends on the cash flow analysis of the property, occupancy rates, and unemployment rates, combined with the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise, credit history and profitability, and the value of the underlying property. Payments on these loans depend on successful operation and management of the properties, and repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. One-to-Four Family — One-to-four family loans are generally made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment income or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable. Repayment of one-to-four family loans is subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy leading to increased default rates and decreased market values from oversupply in a geographic area. In general, these loans depend on the borrower’s continuing financial stability and, therefore, are likely to be adversely affected by various factors, including job loss, divorce, illness, or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be recovered on such loans. Commercial & Industrial — Commercial & Industrial loans are generally of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flows of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Furthermore, any collateral securing such loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise, and may fluctuate in value. Consumer — The Bank purchases loans made to licensed medical professionals on an unsecured basis. Consumer loans are comprised of these loans and student loans. As a result, repayment of such loans are subject, to a greater extent than loans secured by collateral, to the financial condition of the borrower. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary, based on changes in economic conditions or any other factors used in management’s determination. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Interest income on loans is accrued and credited to operations based upon the principal amounts outstanding. Loans are placed on non-accrual when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more. Delinquent status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed from income. Interest payments received on such loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance when the collectability of principal, wholly or partially, is in doubt. Interest payments received may be deferred on nonaccrual loans in which the principal balance is deemed to be collectible. Interest income is recognized when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and the loans are returned to accrual status. Goodwill : Goodwill and certain other intangibles generally arise from business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill and other intangibles deemed to have indefinite lives generated from business combinations are not subject to amortization and are instead tested for impairment not less than annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exist that indicate that a goodwill impairment test should be performed. The Company has selected December 31 as the date to perform the annual impairment test. The goodwill of $9.7 million is associated with a purchase of the prepaid third-party debit card business. The Company performed an impairment assessment and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed as of December 31, 2019 or 2018. Stock-Based Compensation : Compensation cost is recognized for stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of options. The market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The Company also awards performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) to employees. The PRSUs are classified as either equity or liability, depending on certain criteria provided in ASC 718, Stock Based Compensation. This classification affects whether the measurement of fair value is fixed (i.e., measured only once) on the grant date or whether fair value will be remeasured each reporting period until settled. On the grant date, the estimate of equity-classified awards’ fair value would be fixed, the cumulative amount of previously recognized compensation cost would be adjusted, and the Company would no longer have to remeasure the award. If the award is liability-classified, the awards would continue to be marked to fair value each reporting period until settlement. The Company recognizes compensation cost for awards with performance conditions if and when it concludes that it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved. The Company assesses the probability of vesting (i.e. that the performance conditions will be met) at each reporting period and, if required, adjusts compensation cost based on its probability assessment. Concentrations of Credit Risk : Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Bank to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of temporary cash investments including due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and real estate loans receivable. A significant portion of real estate loans are collateralized by property in the New York Metropolitan area. The ultimate collectability of these loans may be susceptible to changes in the real estate market in this area. Premises and Equipment : Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets by the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the terms of the respective leases or the estimated lives of the improvements. Other Investments : Other investments includes Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) stock, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock and investments in the Solomon Hess SBA Loan Fund (“SBA Loan Fund”). Other investments also include a $500,000 investment in The Disability Opportunity Fund, which is an equity equivalent investment to a community development financial institution. The investment was made by the Bank in 2018.The Bank is a member of the FRB and the FHLB systems. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors. FRB and FHLB stock are carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income. The investment in the SBA Fund is recorded at cost and periodically evaluated for impairment. The Company held FRB and FHLB stock of $7.3 million and $8.1 million, respectively, and an SBA Loan Fund investment of $5.0 million as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, the Company held FRB and FHLB stock of $7.3 million and $9.5 million, respectively, and an SBA loan Fund investment of $5.0 million. Comprehensive Income : Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale which are also recognized as separate components of equity. Restrictions on Cash : Cash on hand or on deposit with the FRB was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements. Also included in cash was $10.6 million and $9.4 million of cash held in escrow and collateral accounts for third-party debit card program managers as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Earnings per Common Share : Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the applicable period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number shares determined for the basic computation plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares issuable under certain stock compensation plans. Unvested share-based awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company has determined that its outstanding non-vested stock awards are participating securities and that its outstanding non-vested restricted stock units and PRSUs are non-participating securities. Income Taxes : Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. The primary temporary difference relates to the allowance for loan losses. A valuation allowance is recorded, as necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to an estimated amount expected to be realized. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments : Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Fair Value of Financial Instruments : Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. Loss Contingencies : Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements. Reclassifications : Some items in the prior year financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassification had no effect on prior year net income or stockholders’ equity. Operating segments : While department heads monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Operating segments are aggregated into one as operating results for all segments are similar. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. Recently Issued Accounting Standards : Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”), an Emerging Growth Company (“EGC”) is permitted to elect to adopt new accounting guidance using adoption dates of nonpublic entities. The Company elected delayed effective dates of recently issued accounting standards. |

SUMMARY OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | |
SUMMARY OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of ASU 2014‑09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) deferred the effective date of the ASU by one year which means ASU 2014‑09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The Company adopted the new revenue guidance as January 1, 2019, using the five-step model prescribed by the ASU and described above. Management evaluated the Company’s revenue streams and recorded an adjustment to opening retained earnings of $117,000 in accordance with the modified retrospective method allowed by the ASU. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑01, an amendment to Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825‑10). The objectives of the ASU are to: (1) require equity investments to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (2) simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values, (3) eliminate the requirement to disclose methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, (4) require the use of the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments, and (5) clarify the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to AFS securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments – Overall – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities, an amendment to ASU 2016‑01. The amendments clarify certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016‑01. The Company adopted these ASUs on January 1, 2019. The Company evaluated the impact of ASU 2016‑01 and 2018‑03 and recorded $68,000, net of tax, as an adjustment to opening retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income in accordance with the modified retrospective method allowed by the ASU. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016‑02 requires companies that lease valuable assets to recognize on their balance sheets the assets and liabilities generated by contracts longer than a year. In September 2019, the FASB approved a delay for the implementation of the ASU. Accordingly, the amendments in this update are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021; however, early adoption is permitted. Under ASU 2016‑02, the Company will recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease obligation liability on the consolidated statement of financial condition, which will increase the Company’s assets and liabilities. The Company is evaluating other potential impacts of ASU 2016‑02 on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date be based on historical experience, current condition, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. This guidance also amends the accounting for credit losses on AFS debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. In October 2019, the FASB approved a delay for the implementation of the ASU. Accordingly, as an EGC, the Company’s effective date for the implementation of the ASU will be January 1, 2023. Management has established a committee to evaluate the impact of ASU 2016‑13 on the Company’s financial statements. The Company expects to recognize a one-time cumulative adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the ASU takes effect but cannot yet determine the magnitude of the impact on the consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017‑04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates the second step in the goodwill impairment test which requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Instead, an entity should recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the impairment loss not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. Management expects that ASU 2017‑04 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017‑08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. Today, entities generally amortize the premium over the contractual life of the security. The new guidance does not change the accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount as discounts continue to be amortized to maturity. ASU No. 2017‑08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. At December 31, 2019, the Company did not own any purchased callable debt securities. Management expects that ASU 2017-07 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. On February 14, 2018, the FASB issued final guidance in the form of ASU 2018‑02, which permits — but does not require — companies to reclassify stranded tax effects caused by the 2017 tax reform from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. Additionally, the ASU requires new disclosures by all companies, whether they opt to do the reclassification or not. ASU 2018-02 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 and the Company opted not to make the reclassification under ASU 2018-02. |

The Bank does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2019 and 2018 since the decline in market value was attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. In addition, the Bank does not intend to sell and does not believe that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell these investments until there is a full recovery of the unrealized loss, which may be at maturity. As a result, no impairment loss was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 or 2018. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity. |

Interest income was recognized on a cash basis for impaired loans. Interest income that would have been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2019 had non-accrual loans been current according to their original terms amounted to $144,000. The Bank recognized $94,000 of interest income for these loans for the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest income that would have been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2018, had non-accrual loans been current according to their original terms, amounted to $14,000. The Bank recognized $12,000 of interest income for these loans for the year ended December 31, 2018. For a loan to be considered impaired, management determines after review whether it is probable that the Bank will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management applies its normal loan review procedures in making these judgments. Impaired loans include individually classified nonaccrual loans and TDRs. Impairment is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. For loans that are collateral dependent, the fair value of the collateral is used to determine the fair value of the loan. The fair value of the collateral is determined based on recent appraised values. The fair value of the collateral or present value of expected cash flows is compared to the carrying value to determine if any write-down or specific loan loss allowance allocation is required. The following tables present the recorded investment in non-accrual loans, loans past due over 90 days and still accruing by class of loans as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands): At December 31, 2019 Nonaccrual Loans Past Due Over 90 Days Still Accruing Commercial & industrial 1,047 408 One-to-four family 2,345 — Consumer 693 — Total $ 4,085 $ 408 At December 31, 2018 Nonaccrual Loans Past Due Over 90 Days Still Accruing Commercial & industrial — 239 Consumer 50 — Total $ 50 $ 239 All TDRs at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were performing in accordance with their structured terms.

Included in impaired loans at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were loans modified as TDRs with a recorded investment of $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The Company had allocated $81,000 and $19,000 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified as TDRs as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company has not committed to lend additional amounts as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs. The following tables present the recorded investment in TDRs by class of loans as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands): At December 31, 2019 Troubled Debt Restructuring Commercial real estate $ 367 One-to-four family 1,039 Consumer 35 Total $ 1,441 At December 31, 2018 Troubled Debt Restructuring Commercial real estate $ 383 One-to-four family 1,078 Consumer 39 Total $ 1,500 There were no loans modified as a TDR during the year ended December 31, 2019. TDRs include loans with one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. Modifications involving a reduction of the stated interest rate and/or an extension of the maturity date were for a period of three to five years. In 2019 and 2018 there were no TDRs for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Bank’s internal underwriting policy. Credit Quality Indicators The Bank categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. Except for one-to-four family loans and consumer loans, the Bank analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk at least annually. For one-to-four family loans and consumer loans, the Bank evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented. An analysis is performed on a quarterly basis for loans classified as special mention, substandard, or doubtful. The Bank uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Special Mention — Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. Substandard — Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful — Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows (dollars in thousands): Special At December 31, 2019 Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Total Commercial real estate $ 1,667,869 $ 367 $ — $ — $ 1,668,236 Commercial & industrial 446,612 — 960 1,047 448,619 Construction 30,827 — — — 30,827 Multi-family 375,611 — — — 375,611 Total $ 2,520,919 $ 367 $ 960 $ 1,047 $ 2,523,293 Special At December 31, 2018 Pass Mention Substandard Doubtful Total Commercial real estate $ 949,395 $ 383 $ — $ — $ 949,778 Commercial & industrial 381,692 — — — 381,692 Construction 41,044 1,496 — — 42,540 Multi-family 307,126 — — — 307,126 Total $ 1,679,257 $ 1,879 $ — $ — $ 1,681,136 |

The advances are collateralized by mortgage loans under a blanket lien agreement in the amount of approximately $437.8 million and $249.7 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Based on this collateral and the Company’s holdings of FHLB stock, the Company is eligible to borrow an additional total of approximately $293.8 million as of December 31, 2019. FHLB advances that mature over the next five years and thereafter as follows (dollars in thousands): Principal 2020 $ 144,000 2021 — 2022 — 2023 — 2024 — Total $ 144,000 Trust Preferred Securities Payable : On December 7, 2005, the Company established MetBank Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust (“Trust I”). The Company owns all of the common capital securities of Trust I in exchange for contributed capital of $310,000. Trust I issued $10 million of preferred capital securities to investors in a private transaction and invested the proceeds, combined with the proceeds from the sale of Trust I’s common capital securities, in the Company through the purchase of $10 million aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debentures (the “Debentures”) issued by the Company. The Debentures, the sole assets of Trust I, mature on December 9, 2035 and bear interest then at a floating rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 1.85%. The Debentures are callable. The interest rates were 3.84% and 4.66% as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. On July 14, 2006, the Company established MetBank Capital Trust II, a Delaware statutory trust (“Trust II”). The Company owns all of the common capital securities of Trust II in exchange for contributed capital of $310,000. Trust II issued $10 million of preferred capital securities to investors in a private transaction and invested the proceeds, combined with the proceeds from the sale of Trust II’s common capital securities, in the Company through the purchase of $10 million aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debentures (the “Debentures II”) issued by the Company. The Debentures II, the sole assets of Trust II, mature on October 7, 2036, and bear interest at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.00%. The Debentures II are callable. The interest rates were 3.99% and 4.81% as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of these trusts; therefore, the trusts are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. Interest on the subordinated debentures may be deferred by the Company at any time or from time to time for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly payments (5 years), provided there is no event of default. At the end of the deferral period, the Company must pay accrued interest, at which point it may elect a new deferral period provided that no deferral may extend beyond maturity. The investments in the common capital securities of Trust I and Trust II are included in other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The subordinated debentures may be included in Tier 1 capital (with certain applicable limitations) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. The terms of these trust preferred securities may be impacted by the transition from LIBOR to an alternative U.S. dollar reference interest rate, potentially SOFR, in 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the transition on the trust preferred securities payable. Subordinated Debt : On March 8, 2017, the Company issued $25 million of subordinated notes to accredited institutional investors. The notes mature on March 15, 2027 and bear an interest rate of 6.25% per annum. The interest is paid semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year through March 15, 2022 and quarterly thereafter on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year. In accordance with the terms of the subordinate notes, the interest rate from March 15, 2022 to the maturity date shall reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the current three month LIBOR (not less than zero) plus 426 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. These terms may be impacted by the transition from LIBOR to an alternative U.S. dollar reference interest rate, potentially SOFR, in 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the transition on the Company’s subordinate notes payable. The Company may redeem the subordinated notes beginning with the interest payment date of March 15, 2022 and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter. The subordinated notes may be redeemed in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the subordinated notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest. |

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | |
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | NOTE 12 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair Value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as 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. Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis Assets measured on a recurring basis are limited to the Bank’s AFS portfolio and equity investments. The AFS portfolio is carried at estimated fair value with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in shareholders’ equity. Equity investments are carried at estimated fair value with changes in fair value reported as unrealized gain/(loss) on the statement of operations. The fair values for substantially all of these securities are obtained monthly from an independent nationally recognized pricing service. On a quarterly basis, the Bank assesses the reasonableness of the fair values obtained by reference to a second independent nationally recognized pricing service. Based on the nature of these securities, the Bank’s independent pricing service provides prices which are categorized as Level 2 since quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are generally not available for the majority of securities in the Bank’s portfolio. Various modeling techniques are used to determine pricing for the Bank’s mortgage-backed securities, including option pricing and discounted cash flow models. The inputs to these models include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. On an annual basis, the Bank obtains the models, inputs and assumptions utilized by its pricing service and reviews them for reasonableness. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (dollars in thousands): Fair Value Measurement using: Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets Other Significant Carrying For Identical Observable Unobservable Amount Assets (Level 1) Inputs (Level 2) Inputs (Level 3) At December 31, 2019 Residential mortgage securities $ 177,263 $ — $ 177,263 $ — Commercial mortgage securities 32,472 — 32,472 — U.S. Government agency securities 25,207 — 25,207 — CRA Mutual Fund 2,224 2,224 — — Fair Value Measurement using: Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets Other Significant Carrying For Identical Observable Unobservable Amount Assets (Level 1) Inputs (Level 2) Inputs (Level 3) At December 31, 2018 Residential mortgage securities $ 23,513 $ - $ 23,513 $ - Commercial mortgage securities 5,849 - 5,849 - Municipal bond 1,077 - 1,077 - CRA Mutual Fund 2,110 2,110 - - There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during 2019 or 2018. Loans measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis amounted to $242,000 at December 31, 2019. There were no material assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2018.

STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN | |
STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN | NOTE 14 — STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN Equity Incentive Plan On May 28, 2019, the Company's 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 EIP”) was approved by stockholders of the Company. Under the 2019 EIP, the maximum number of shares of stock that may be delivered to participants in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options, including incentive stock options (“ISO”) and non-qualified stock options, is 340,000, plus any awards that are forfeited under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). Under the 2009 Plan, there are 468,382 shares that are subject to outstanding and/or unexercised awards that have been granted and, if forfeited after May 28, 2019, such shares will be available to be granted under the 2019 EIP. The 2009 Plan expired on May 18, 2019 and, accordingly, the 628,719 shares that were unissued under the 2009 Plan have expired and may not be granted (and such shares of stock did not roll over to the 2019 EIP). At December 31, 2019, there were 341,562 shares issuable under the 2019 EIP. At December 31, 2018, there were 735,142 shares issuable under the 2009 Plan. Stock Options Under the terms of the 2019 EIP, a stock option agreement cannot have an exercise price that is less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares covered by the stock option on the date of grant. In the case of an ISO granted to a 10% stockholder, the exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares covered by the stock option on the date of grant. In no event shall the exercise period exceed ten years from the date of grant of the option, except, in the case of an ISO granted to a 10% stockholder, the exercise period shall not exceed five years from the date of grant. The 2019 EIP uses a double trigger change in control feature, providing for an acceleration of vesting upon an involuntary termination of employment simultaneous with or following a change in control. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model. Expected volatilities based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock are not significant. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. There was no compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 as all stock options were vested. A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option plan and the changes during the year is presented below: 2019 Weighted Average Number of Exercise Options Price Outstanding, beginning of year 231,000 $ 18.00 Granted — — Exercised — — Cancelled/forfeited — — Outstanding, end of year 231,000 $ 18.00 Options vested and exercisable at year-end 231,000 $ 18.00 Aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at December 31, 2019 $ 6,983,130 Weighted average remaining contractual life (years) 4.38 The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 2019: Options Outstanding Range of Average Number Outstanding at Weighted Average Weighted Average Weighted average Exercise Prices December 31, 2019 Remaining Contractual Life Exercise Price intrinsic value $10 – 20 231,000 4.38 $ 18.00 $ 30.23 $21 – 30 — — $ — $ — $10 – 30 231,000 4.38 $ 18.00 $ 30.23 There were no stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2018, 30,000 stock options were exercised, which had an intrinsic value of $227,910. Cash received from these exercises was $360,000. Restricted Stock Awards The Company issued restricted stock awards to certain key personnel under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (2009 EIP). Each restricted stock award vests based on vesting scheduled outlined in the award agreement. Restricted stock awards are subject to forfeiture if the holder is not employed by the Company on the vesting date. Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for restricted stock awards was $1.2 million and $445,156 for years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, there was $1.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. In addition, on January 1, 2019, 38,900 restricted shares in the aggregate were granted to members of the Board of Directors in lieu of retainer fees for three years of service. These shares vest one-third each year for three years beginning on January 1, 2019. Total expense for these awards was $400,000 for December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, there was $800,000 of unrecognized expense related to Directors’ fees. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. During 2018, 8,987 shares were issued to Directors in lieu of retainer fees. Total expense for the 2018 Directors’ grants was $440,000. In addition, 10,000 shares in the aggregate were issued to Directors, which vested quarterly in 2019. Total expenses for these grants amounted to $351,500 in 2019. The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s non-vested restricted stock awards for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 Year Ended December 31, 2019 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Weighted Average Weighted Average Number of Shares Grant Date Fair Value Number of Shares Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding, beginning of period 53,957 $ 21.46 76,104 $ Granted 106,423 35.36 8,987 Forfeited (1,561) 32.71 — — Vested (53,981) 32.22 (31,134) Outstanding at end of period 104,838 $ 29.86 53,957 $ The total fair value of shares vested is $2.4 million and $1.3 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Performance Based Stock Awards During 2018, the Company established a performance-based long term incentive award program under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. During 2018, 90,000 PRSUs were awarded under the program. PRSUs are eligible to be earned over a three-year performance period based on the Company’s relative performance on certain measurement goals that were established at the onset of the performance period. These awards were accounted for in accordance with guidance prescribed in ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. These units will be granted at the end of the three year performance period, provided the performance criteria have been met. The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s non-vested PRSU awards for year ended December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands, except share information): For the year ended December 31, 2019 Weighted average service inception date fair value of award shares $ 4,064,295 Minimum aggregate share payout 12,000 Maximum aggregate share payout 90,000 Likely aggregate share payout 90,000 Compensation expense recognized $ 1,430,011 Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for this plan for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. |

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK | |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK | NOTE 16 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. The Bank had outstanding the following off-balance-sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands): At December 31, 2019 At December 31, 2018 Variable Variable Fixed Rate Rate Fixed Rate Rate Undrawn lines of credit $ 17,204 $ 193,767 $ 7,737 $ 130,547 Letters of credit 47,743 — 34,351 — $ 64,947 $ 193,767 $ 42,088 $ 130,547 A commitment to extend credit is a legally binding agreement to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally expire within 2 years. At both December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Bank’s fixed rate loan commitments are to make loans with interest rates ranging from 3.0% to 5.6% and maturities of one year or more. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but may include mortgages on commercial and residential real estate, security interests in business assets, equipment, deposit accounts with the Bank or other financial institutions and securities. The Bank has letters of credit in the amount of $47.7 million and $34.4 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for which the Bank has received collateral in the form of accounts of $29.8 million and $23.0 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |

REGULATORY CAPITAL | |
REGULATORY CAPITAL | NOTE 17 — REGULATORY CAPITAL The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company and the Bank met all applicable regulatory capital requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. The Company and Bank manage their capital to comply with their internal planning targets and regulatory capital standards administered by federal banking agencies. The Company and Bank review capital levels on a monthly basis. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being fully phased in on January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer was 2.50% at December 31, 2019 and 1.88% at December 31, 2018. The capital conservation buffer requirement was being phased in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increasing by 0.625% each subsequent January 1, until it reached 2.5% on January 1, 2019. The net unrealized gain or loss on AFS securities is not included in the computation of the regulatory capital. The Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements, to which they are subject, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category. The Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. The following is a summary of actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, for the Company and the Bank compared to the requirements for minimum capital adequacy and classification as well capitalized. Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below at year end (dollars in thousands): To be Well Capitalized For Capital Adequacy under Prompt Corrective Actual Purposes Action Regulations Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio At December 31, 2019 Total capital (to risk-weighted assets) Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. $ 350,403 12.5 % $ 223,973 ≥ 8.0 % $ N/A ≥ N/A % Metropolitan Commercial Bank $ 356,353 12.7 % $ 223,858 ≥ 8.0 % $ 279,823 ≥ % Tier 1 common equity (to risk-weighted assets) Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. $ 282,646 10.1 % $ 125,985 ≥ 4.5 % $ N/A ≥ N/A % Metropolitan Commercial Bank $ 329,905 11.8 % $ 125,920 ≥ 4.5 % $ 181,885 ≥ % Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. $ 308,769 11.0 % $ 167,980 ≥ 6.0 % $ N/A ≥ N/A % Metropolitan Commercial Bank $ 329,905 11.8 % $ 167,894 ≥ 6.0 % $ 223,858 ≥ % Tier 1 capital (to average assets) Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. $ 308,769 9.4 % $ 131,087 ≥ 4.0 % $ N/A ≥ N/A % Metropolitan Commercial Bank $ 329,905 10.1 % $ 131,000 ≥ 4.0 % $ 163,750 ≥ % At December 31, 2018 Total capital (to risk-weighted assets) Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. $ 319,053 16.9 % $ 151,053 ≥ 8.0 % N/A N/A % Metropolitan Commercial Bank $ 314,226 16.7 % $ 150,900 ≥ 8.0 % $ 188,625 ≥ 10.0 % Tier 1 common equity (to risk-weighted assets) Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. $ 249,655 13.2 % $ 84,968 ≥ 4.5 % N/A N/A % Metropolitan Commercial Bank $ 294,880 15.6 % $ 84,881 ≥ 4.5 % $ 122,606 ≥ 6.5 % Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. $ 275,158 14.6 % $ 113,290 ≥ 6.0 % N/A N/A % Metropolitan Commercial Bank $ 294,880 15.6 % $ 113,175 ≥ 6.0 % $ 150,900 ≥ 8.0 % Tier 1 capital (to average assets) Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. $ 275,158 13.7 % $ 80,244 ≥ 4.0 % N/A N/A % Metropolitan Commercial Bank $ 294,880 14.7 % $ 80,050 ≥ 4.0 % $ 100,063 ≥ 5.0 % As a result of the recently enacted Economic Growth Act (the “Act”), banking regulatory agencies adopted a revised definition of “well capitalized” for financial institutions and holding companies with assets of less than $10 billion and that are not determined to be ineligible by their primary federal regulator due to their risk profile (a “Qualifying Community Bank”). The new definition expanded the ways that a Qualifying Community Bank may meet its capital requirements and be deemed “well capitalized.” The new rule establishes a community bank leverage ratio (“CBLR”) equal to the tangible equity capital divided by the average total consolidated assets. Regulators have established the CBLR to be set at 9%, effective January 1, 2020. A Qualifying Community Bank that maintains a leverage ratio greater than 9% is considered to be well capitalized and to have met generally applicable leverage capital requirements, generally applicable risk-based capital requirements, and any other capital or leverage requirements to which such financial institution or holding company is subject. The Bank intends to continue to measure capital adequacy using the ratios in the table above. |

REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS | |
REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS | NOTE 22 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as of January 1, 2019. All of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers that are in the scope of the accounting guidance are recognized in non-interest income. The following table presents the Company’s sources of non-interest income, within the scope of the ASU, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 (1) Service charges on deposit accounts $ 3,556 $ 4,248 Prepaid third-party debit card income 5,643 4,640 Other service charges and fees 1,366 3,305 Total $ 10,565 $ 12,193 (1) The Company elected the modified retrospective approach of adoption; therefore, prior period balances are presented under legacy GAAP and may not be comparable to current year presentation. A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted for under the accounting guidance follows: Debit card income: The Bank serves as a debit card issuer to and contracts with various program managers to issue debit cards to support various products including, but not limited to, healthcare marketing, general purpose reloadable cards, payroll cards, disbursement of government payments, payment of federal benefits and E-Wallet and push payments for sellers in online marketplaces. The Bank earns initial set-up fees for these programs as well as fees for transactions processed. The Bank receives transaction data at the end of each month for debit card services rendered, at which time revenue is recognized. Prior to the adoption of the ASU, at December 31, 2018, upfront fees were recognized under the percentage of completion method. Since the performance obligation of setting up the program to go live is satisfied at a point in time, the revenue is deemed to be recognized once the performance obligation has been completed and the program is live, thereby creating an asset available for the customer to use. The ASU provides the option to elect the modified retrospective method as a transition approach and the Bank has elected to use this method to comply with the new guidance under the ASU. Accordingly, the Company recorded an adjustment to opening retained earnings of $117,000 to reflect the change in accounting under the ASU. Service charges on deposit accounts: The Bank offers business and personal retail products and services, which include, but are not limited to: online banking, mobile banking, ACH, and remote deposit capture. A standard deposit contract exists between the Bank and all deposit customers. The Bank earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based services (such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees), account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Bank fulfills the customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance. Other service charges: The primary component of other service charges relates to foreign exchange (“FX”) conversion fees. The Bank outsources FX conversion for foreign currency transactions to correspondent banks. The Bank earns a portion of FX conversion fee that the customer charges to process an FX transaction. Revenue is recognized at the end of the month, once the customer has remitted the transaction information to the Bank. |
SUMMARY OF RECENT ACCOUNTING _2
SUMMARY OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |

SUMMARY OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates : To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash Flows | Cash Flows : Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and amounts due from banks and money market funds. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, and other investments. |
Securities | Securities : Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”) when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax. Equity securities with readily determinable fair value are carried at fair value, with change in fair value reported in net income. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted a new accounting standard for Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-01), which required equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Upon adoption, equity securities previously classified as available-for-sale are presented separately on the balance sheet as equity securities. The amount of unrealized gain (loss), net of tax, related to these securities was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, the amendments related equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) are being applied prospectively to equity investments that existed at January 1, 2019. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method. Gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations upon sale. Management evaluates AFS securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the statement of operations and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. |
Accounts Receivable & Receivable from Prepaid Card Programs, Net | Accounts Receivable & Receivable from Prepaid Card Programs, Net : Accounts receivables, net, primarily consist of the Bank’s in-transit items, trade receivables from prepaid debit card programs and other receivables. Receivables from prepaid card programs are predominantly government scheduled payments including financial assistance programs and pensions. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition : Most of the Company’s revenue is derived from interest income on loans. Any revenues from contracts with customers, which are not exempt from the accounting requirements under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, are accounted for using the five-step method prescribed by the ASU. These revenue items are debit card income, service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges . In accordance with the ASU, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. The Company applies the following five steps to properly recognize revenue: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
Technology Costs | Technology Costs: Technology costs are primarily comprised of licensing fees on certain deposit accounts held by bankruptcy trustees. These accounts require the use of a software interface provided by a third party. Licensing fees amounted to $8.5 million and $1.0 million for 2019 and 2018, respectively. Bankruptcy accounts subject to the licensing fees amounted to $865.8 million and $80.8 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
Transfers of Financial Assets | Transfers of Financial Assets : Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. Transfers of financial assets that do not meet the criteria to be accounted for as sales are recorded as secured borrowings. |
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses | Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses : Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding principal balances, adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount management deems adequate to cover probable incurred credit losses. In determining the level to be maintained, management evaluates many factors, including current economic trends, industry experience, historical loss experience, loan concentrations, the borrower’s ability to repay and repayment performance and estimated collateral values. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. All commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for credit risk at least annually, and all classified loans are individually evaluated for impairment quarterly. Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans such as residential real estate loans are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, are not separately evaluated for impairment disclosures unless the individual loan is classified. 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. When a loan is modified and concessions have been made to the original contractual terms, such as reductions in interest rate or deferral of interest or principal payments, due to the borrower’s financial condition, the modification is known as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). TDRs are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a TDR is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For TDRs that subsequently default, the Bank determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses. The general component of the allowance covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Bank over a rolling two-year period. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects on any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. The following portfolio segments have been identified: Construction loans, Commercial Real Estate loans, Multi-Family loans, One-to-Four Family loans, Commercial & Industrial loans and Consumer loans. The risk characteristics of each of the identified portfolio segments are as follows: Construction — Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction and the estimated cost of construction. During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost overruns. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, additional funds may be required to be advanced in excess of the amount originally committed to permit completion of the building. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the value of the building may be insufficient to assure full repayment if liquidation is required. If foreclosure is required on a building before or at completion due to a default, there can be no assurance that all of the unpaid balance of, and accrued interest on, the loan as well as related foreclosure and holding costs will be recovered. Commercial Real Estate — Commercial real estate loans are secured by nonresidential real estate and generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than residential real estate loans. Repayment of commercial real estate loans depends on the total cash flow analysis of the borrower and the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise, credit history and profitability, and the value of the underlying property. Of primary concern in commercial real estate lending is the borrower’s creditworthiness and the cash flows from the property. Payments on loans secured by income properties often depend on successful operation and management of the properties. As a result, repayment of such loans may be subject, to a greater extent than residential real estate loans, to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. Commercial real estate is also subject to adverse market conditions that cause a decrease in market value or lease rates, obsolescence in location or function and market conditions associated with oversupply of units in a specific region. Multi-family — Multi-family real estate loans are secured by multi-family real estate and generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than residential real estate loans. Repayment of multi-family real estate loans depends on the cash flow analysis of the property, occupancy rates, and unemployment rates, combined with the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise, credit history and profitability, and the value of the underlying property. Payments on these loans depend on successful operation and management of the properties, and repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. One-to-Four Family — One-to-four family loans are generally made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment income or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable. Repayment of one-to-four family loans is subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy leading to increased default rates and decreased market values from oversupply in a geographic area. In general, these loans depend on the borrower’s continuing financial stability and, therefore, are likely to be adversely affected by various factors, including job loss, divorce, illness, or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be recovered on such loans. Commercial & Industrial — Commercial & Industrial loans are generally of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flows of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Furthermore, any collateral securing such loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise, and may fluctuate in value. Consumer — The Bank purchases loans made to licensed medical professionals on an unsecured basis. Consumer loans are comprised of these loans and student loans. As a result, repayment of such loans are subject, to a greater extent than loans secured by collateral, to the financial condition of the borrower. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary, based on changes in economic conditions or any other factors used in management’s determination. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Interest income on loans is accrued and credited to operations based upon the principal amounts outstanding. Loans are placed on non-accrual when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more. Delinquent status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed from income. Interest payments received on such loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance when the collectability of principal, wholly or partially, is in doubt. Interest payments received may be deferred on nonaccrual loans in which the principal balance is deemed to be collectible. Interest income is recognized when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and the loans are returned to accrual status. |
Goodwill | Goodwill : Goodwill and certain other intangibles generally arise from business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill and other intangibles deemed to have indefinite lives generated from business combinations are not subject to amortization and are instead tested for impairment not less than annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exist that indicate that a goodwill impairment test should be performed. The Company has selected December 31 as the date to perform the annual impairment test. The goodwill of $9.7 million is associated with a purchase of the prepaid third-party debit card business. The Company performed an impairment assessment and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed as of December 31, 2019 or 2018. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation : Compensation cost is recognized for stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of options. The market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The Company also awards performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) to employees. The PRSUs are classified as either equity or liability, depending on certain criteria provided in ASC 718, Stock Based Compensation. This classification affects whether the measurement of fair value is fixed (i.e., measured only once) on the grant date or whether fair value will be remeasured each reporting period until settled. On the grant date, the estimate of equity-classified awards’ fair value would be fixed, the cumulative amount of previously recognized compensation cost would be adjusted, and the Company would no longer have to remeasure the award. If the award is liability-classified, the awards would continue to be marked to fair value each reporting period until settlement. The Company recognizes compensation cost for awards with performance conditions if and when it concludes that it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved. The Company assesses the probability of vesting (i.e. that the performance conditions will be met) at each reporting period and, if required, adjusts compensation cost based on its probability assessment. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk : Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Bank to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of temporary cash investments including due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and real estate loans receivable. A significant portion of real estate loans are collateralized by property in the New York Metropolitan area. The ultimate collectability of these loans may be susceptible to changes in the real estate market in this area. |
Premises and Equipment | Premises and Equipment : Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets by the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the terms of the respective leases or the estimated lives of the improvements. |
Other Investments | Other Investments : Other investments includes Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) stock, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock and investments in the Solomon Hess SBA Loan Fund (“SBA Loan Fund”). Other investments also include a $500,000 investment in The Disability Opportunity Fund, which is an equity equivalent investment to a community development financial institution. The investment was made by the Bank in 2018.The Bank is a member of the FRB and the FHLB systems. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors. FRB and FHLB stock are carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income. The investment in the SBA Fund is recorded at cost and periodically evaluated for impairment. The Company held FRB and FHLB stock of $7.3 million and $8.1 million, respectively, and an SBA Loan Fund investment of $5.0 million as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, the Company held FRB and FHLB stock of $7.3 million and $9.5 million, respectively, and an SBA loan Fund investment of $5.0 million. |
Comprehensive Income | Comprehensive Income : Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale which are also recognized as separate components of equity. |
Restrictions on Cash | Restrictions on Cash : Cash on hand or on deposit with the FRB was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements. Also included in cash was $10.6 million and $9.4 million of cash held in escrow and collateral accounts for third-party debit card program managers as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
Earnings per Common Share | Earnings per Common Share : Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the applicable period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number shares determined for the basic computation plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares issuable under certain stock compensation plans. Unvested share-based awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company has determined that its outstanding non-vested stock awards are participating securities and that its outstanding non-vested restricted stock units and PRSUs are non-participating securities. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes : Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. The primary temporary difference relates to the allowance for loan losses. A valuation allowance is recorded, as necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to an estimated amount expected to be realized. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. |
Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments | Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments : Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments : Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. |
Loss Contingencies | Loss Contingencies : Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications : Some items in the prior year financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassification had no effect on prior year net income or stockholders’ equity. |
Operating segments | Operating segments : While department heads monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Operating segments are aggregated into one as operating results for all segments are similar. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards : Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”), an Emerging Growth Company (“EGC”) is permitted to elect to adopt new accounting guidance using adoption dates of nonpublic entities. The Company elected delayed effective dates of recently issued accounting standards. |
