NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BayCom Corp (the “Company”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Walnut Creek, California. United Business Bank (the “Bank”), the Company’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, is a California state-chartered bank which provides a broad range of financial services primarily to local small and mid-sized businesses, service professionals and individuals. In the 16 years of operation, the Bank has grown to 34 full-service banking branches. The main headquarters and a branch office are located in Walnut Creek, California and additional branch offices are located in Oakland, Castro Valley, Mountain View, Napa, Stockton (2), Pleasanton, Livermore, San Jose, Long Beach, Sacramento, San Francisco, Buena Park, Los Angeles, and Garden Grove, California, and Seattle, Washington (2), New Mexico (5) and Colorado (11). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. None of the reclassifications impacted consolidated net income, earnings per share or shareholders’ equity.

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

On May 24, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Uniti Financial Corporation ("UFC”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Uniti Bank, headquartered in Buena Park, California ("UFC Merger").

On October 21, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of TIG Bancorp (“TIG”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, First State Bank of Colorado, headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado (“TIG Merger”).

On February 4, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of Grand Mountain Bancshares, Inc. (“GMB”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Grand Mountain Bank, headquartered in Granby, Colorado (“GMB Merger”). See “Note 3 – Acquisitions” for additional information on the Uniti Merger, TIG Merger and GMB Merger.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET EFFECTIVE AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326) and subsequent amendment to the initial guidance in November 2018, ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, in April 2019, ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, and in May 2019, ASU 2019-05 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, Topic 326, all of which clarifies codification and corrects unintended application of the guidance. ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)

(Tables in thousands, except for share and per share data)

(unaudited)

other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. In issuing the standard, the FASB is responding to criticism that today’s guidance delays recognition of credit losses. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, will apply to: (1) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (2) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. The CECL model does not apply to available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities. For AFS debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to what they do today, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses immediately in earnings rather than as interest income over time, as they do today. The ASU also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) debt securities and loans. ASU 2016-13 also expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses. In addition, public business entities will need to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are accounted for using lease guidance and not as financial instruments. ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” affects a variety of topics in the Codification and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. ASU 2019-05 allows entities to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option on financial instruments that (1) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (2) are within the scope of ASC 326-20 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The amendments in these ASUs are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted for smaller reporting companies, such as the Company. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach). The Company is reviewing the requirements of these ASUs and expects to begin developing and implementing processes and procedures to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date. Upon adoption, the Company expects changes in the processes and procedures used to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. The new guidance may result in an increase in the allowance for loan losses which will also reflect the new requirement to include the nonaccretable principal differences on purchased credit-impaired loans; however, the Company is still in the process of determining the magnitude of the change and its impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation, and goodwill impairment will simply be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The amendments in this ASU are required for public business entities and other entities that have goodwill reported in their financial statements and have not elected the private company alternative for the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020, with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU contains some technical adjustments related to the fair value disclosure requirements of public companies. Included in this ASU is the additional disclosure requirement of unrealized gains and losses for the period in recurring level 3 fair value disclosures and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs, among other technical changes. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) - Codification Improvements. The changes in this amendment include: (1) determining the fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers; (2) presentation on the statement of cash flows – sales types and direct financing leases; and (3) transition disclosures related to Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This ASU specifically provides an exception to the paragraph 250-10-50-3 that would otherwise have required interim disclosures in the period an accounting change including the effect of that change on income from continuing operations, net income, any other financial statement line item, and any affected per share amounts. For items 1 and 2, this ASU is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Item 3 does not have an effective date because the amendments related to transition disclosures are included in Topic 842. The Company adopted ASU 2019-01 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2019-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 provides that state franchise or similar taxes that are based, at least in part on an entity’s income, be included in an entity’s income tax recognized as income-based taxes. The ASU further clarifies that the effect of any change in tax laws or rates used in the computation of the annual effective tax rate are required to be reflected in the first interim period that includes the enactment date of the legislation. Technical changes to eliminate exceptions to Topic 740 related to intra-period tax allocations for entities with losses from continuing operations, deferred tax liabilities related to change in ownership of foreign entities, and interim-period tax allocations for businesses with losses where the losses are expected to be realized. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are effective for public business entities with fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect ASU 2019-12 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statement.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU applies to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other rate references expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU permits an entity to make necessary modifications to eligible contracts or transactions without requiring contract remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. This ASU is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

On March 22, 2020, federal banking regulators issued an interagency statement that included guidance on their approach for the accounting of loan modifications in light of the economic impact of the novel coronavirus of 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The guidance interprets current accounting standards and indicates that a lender can conclude that a borrower is not experiencing financial difficulty if short-term modifications are made in response to COVID-19, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant related to the loans in which the borrower is less than 30 days past due on its contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. The agencies confirmed in working with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not troubled debt restructurings.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs” (“ASU 2020-08”). ASU 2020-08 clarifies that the Company should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. ASU 2020-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-08 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

At September 30, 2020, the Company held 288 investment securities, of which 21 were in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months and 22 were in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. These temporary unrealized losses relate principally to current interest rates for similar types of securities. The Company anticipates full recovery of amortized cost with respect to these securities at maturity or sooner in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment. Additional deterioration in market and economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic may, however, have an adverse impact on credit quality in the future and result in other-than-temporary impairment charges.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available-for-sale at the dates indicated by contractual maturity are shown below.

Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Impaired loans on accrual are comprised solely of TDR loans performing under modified loan agreements, whose principal and interest is determined to be collectible. Nonaccrual loans are loans where principal and interest have been determined to not be fully collectible.

In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider, the related loan is classified as a TDR loan. TDR loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status at the time of restructuring and included in impaired loans. These loans are returned to accrual status after the borrower demonstrates performance with the modified terms for a sustained period of time (generally six months) and has the capacity to continue to perform in accordance with the modified terms of the restructured debt. At September 30, 2020, TDR loans totaled $3.7 million, compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2019. At September 30, 2020 and at December 31, 2019, $775,000 and $789,000, respectively, of TDR loans were accruing and performing in accordance with their modified terms. There are no commitments to lend additional amounts to borrowers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDR loans at September 30, 2020. All TDR loans are also included in the loans individually evaluated for impairment as part of the calculation of the allowance for loan losses.

The following tables present loans by class, modified as TDR loans, for the periods indicated:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded 0 charge-offs related to TDR loans. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, there were 0 TDR loans for which there was a payment default within the first 12 months of the modification.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (“CARES Act”), signed into law on March 27, 2020, provided guidance around the modification of loans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which outlined, among other criteria, that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined under the CARES Act prior to any relief, are not TDR loans. This includes short-term (e.g. six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. To qualify as an eligible loan under the CARES Act, a loan modification must be (1) related to COVID-19 pandemic; (2) executed on a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (3) executed between March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (A) 60 days after the date of termination of the National Emergency by the President, or (B) December 31, 2020. Loan modifications in accordance with the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance are still subject to an evaluation in regard to determining whether or not a loan is deemed to be impaired. See Note 2 – Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective and Adopted Accounting Guidance.

Risk Rating System

The Company evaluates and assigns a risk grade to each loan based on certain criteria to assess the credit quality of each loan. The assignment of a risk rating is done for each individual loan. Loans are graded from inception and on a continuing basis until the debt is repaid. Any adverse or beneficial trends will trigger a review of the loan risk rating. Each loan is assigned a risk grade based on its characteristics. Loans with low to average credit risk are assigned a lower risk grade than those with higher credit risk as determined by the individual loan characteristics.

The Company’s Pass loans includes loans with acceptable business or individual credit risk where the borrower’s operations, cash flow or financial condition provides evidence of low to average levels of risk.

Loans that are assigned higher risk grades are loans that exhibit the following characteristics:

Special Mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. A Special Mention rating is a temporary rating, pending the occurrence of an event that would cause the risk rating either to improve or to be downgraded.

Loans in this category would be characterized by any of the following situations:

●

Credit that is currently protected but is potentially a weak asset;

●

Credit that is difficult to manage because of an inadequate loan agreement, the condition of and/or control over collateral, failure to obtain proper documentation, or any other deviation from product lending practices; and

●

Adverse financial trends.

Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. Loans classified substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The potential loss does not have to be recognizable in an individual credit for that credit to be risk rated Substandard. A loan can be fully and adequately secured and still be considered Substandard.

Some characteristics of Substandard loans are:

●

Inability to service debt from ordinary and recurring cash flow;

●

Chronic delinquency;

●

Reliance upon alternative sources of repayment;

●

Term loans that are granted on liberal terms because the borrower cannot service normal payments for that type of debt;

●

Repayment dependent upon the liquidation of collateral;

●

Inability to perform as agreed, but adequately protected by collateral;

●

Necessity to renegotiate payments to a non-standard level to ensure performance; and

●

The borrower is bankrupt, or for any other reason, future repayment is dependent on court action.

Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions, and value, highly questionable and improbable. Doubtful loans have a high probability of loss, yet certain important and reasonably specific pending factors may work toward the strengthening of the credit.

Losses are recognized as charges to the allowance when the loan or portion of the loan is considered uncollectible or at the time of foreclosure. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are credited to the allowance for loan losses.

On March 29, 2019, the Company sold a commercial building in Oakland, California with a carrying value of $4.6 million. In connection with the sale, the Company leased back 4,021 square feet, representing 11.1% of the total square footage. The sale resulted in a $78,000 gain.

The Company leases its headquarters and 19 branches and administration offices under noncancelable operating leases. These leases expire on various dates through 2030. The Company’s leases often have an option to renew one or more times, at the Company’s discretion, following the expiration of the initial term. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. The Company uses the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 was used. The Company adopted the requirements of Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019, which required the Company record a right of use lease asset and a lease liability for leases with an initial term of more than 12 months for leases that existed as of January 1, 2019. Future minimum lease payments at September 30, 2020 are for the periods indicated as follows:

Rental expense included in occupancy and equipment on the consolidated statements of income totaled $829,000 and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $824,000 and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 8 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The Company’s goodwill is assigned to the Bank and is evaluated for impairment at the Bank level (reporting unit). Goodwill that arises from a business combination is evaluated for impairment at least annually, at the reporting unit level. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Core deposit intangible represents the estimated future benefit of deposits related to an acquisition and is booked separately from the related deposits and amortized over an estimated useful live of seven to ten years.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, goodwill totaled $38.8 million and $35.5 million, respectively. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, core deposit intangible from business combinations totaled $8.8 million and $9.2 million, respectively. A significant decline in expected future cash flows, a significant adverse change in the business climate, slower growth rates or a significant decline in the price of our common stock could necessitate taking charges in the future related to the impairment of goodwill or core deposit intangibles. The core deposit intangible assets represent the value ascribed to the long-term deposit relationships acquired and is being amortized over an estimated average useful life of seven to ten years. At September 30, 2020, the weighted average remaining useful life was 3.7 years.

Changes in the Company's goodwill for the periods indicated are as follows:


	September 30,		December 31,
	2020		2019
Balance at beginning of period	$	35,466	$	14,594
Acquired goodwill		3,372		20,872
Impairment		0		0
Balance at end of period	$	38,838	$	35,466

Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had positive equity, however, as a result of the potential credit losses and adverse economic impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company elected to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Company exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill. The qualitative assessment, which considered that the Company’s continued profitability, average community bank merger deal values realized during 2020, net interest margin levels, total expected loan losses as of September 30, 2020, and the continued growth in our core deposit portfolio, indicated that it was more likely than not that its fair value exceeded its carrying value, resulting in no impairment. If adverse economic conditions or the recent decrease in our stock price and market capitalization as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic were to be deemed sustained rather than temporary, it may significantly affect the fair value of our goodwill and may require impairment charges. Any impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Changes in the Company’s core deposit intangible for the periods indicated were as follows:


	September 30,		December 31,
	2020		2019
Balance at beginning of period	$	9,185	$	7,205
Additions		949		3,604
Less amortization		(1,379)		(1,624)
Balance at end of period	$	8,755	$	9,185

Amortization expense in other noninterest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income totaled $453,000 and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $396,000 and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 11 - BORROWINGS

On August 6, 2020, the Company issued and sold $65.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) at a public offering price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

NOTE 14 – EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

The shareholders approved the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”) in November 2017. The 2017 Plan provides for the awarding by the Company’s Board of Directors of equity incentive awards to employees and non-employee directors. An equity incentive award may be an option, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, stock award, other stock-based award or performance award granted under the 2017 Plan. Factors considered by the Board in awarding equity incentives to officers and employees include the performance of the Company, the employee’s or officer’s job performance, the importance of his or her position, and his or her contribution to the organization’s goals for the award period. Generally, awards are restricted and have a vesting period of no longer than ten years. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2017 Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the 2017 Plan is 450,000. The 2017 Plan provides for an annual restricted stock grant limits to officers, employees and directors. The annual stock grant limit per person for officers and employees is the lessor of 50,000 shares or a value of $2.0 million, and per person for directors, the maximum is 25,000 shares. All unvested restricted shares outstanding vest in the event of a change in control of the Company. Awarded shares of restricted stock vest over (i) a one-year period following the date of grant, in the case of the non-employee directors, and (ii) a three-year or five-year period following the date of grant, with the initial vesting occurring on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, in the case of the executive officers. As of September 30, 2020, a total of 151,247 shares are available for future issuance under the 2017 Plan.

2014 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

In 2014, the shareholders approved the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). A total of 148,962 equity incentive awards were granted under the 2014 Plan. The awards are shares of restricted stock and have a vesting period of one to five years. No future equity awards will be made from the 2014 Plan.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the shares at the award date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, total compensation expense for these plans was $385,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, compared to $367,000 and $807,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 15 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The following tables have information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the fair value techniques used to determine such fair value. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3).

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (as defined) for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs are inputs other than quoted prices include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In such cases, the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the measurement is used to determine the hierarchy for the entire asset or liability. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with our quarterly valuation process. There were no transfers between levels during 2020 or 2019.

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan may be considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise and liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, which uses substantially observable data, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value or the appraised value contains a significant assumption and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

The Company records OREO at fair value on a nonrecurring basis based on the collateral value of the property. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, which uses substantially observable data, the Company records the OREO as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value or the appraised value contains a significant assumption, and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Management also incorporates assumptions regarding market trends or other relevant factors and selling and commission costs ranging from 5% to 7%. Such adjustments and assumptions are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lending and Letter of Credit Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various commitments to extend credit, which are not reflected in the financial statements. These commitments consist of the undisbursed balance on personal, commercial lines, including commercial real estate secured lines of credit, and of undisbursed funds on construction and development loans. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, undisbursed commitments totaled $105.2 million and $126.6 million, respectively. In addition, at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has issued standby letter of credit commitments, primarily issued for the third-party performance obligations of clients totaling $2.3 million. There were 0 outstanding balances at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The actual liquidity needs or the credit risk that the Company will experience will be lower than the contractual amount of commitments to extend credit because a significant portion of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. The commitments are generally variable rate and include unfunded home equity lines of credit, commercial real estate construction where disbursement is made over the course of construction, commercial revolving lines of credit, and unsecured personal lines of credit. The Company’s outstanding loan commitments are made using the same underwriting standards as comparable outstanding loans. The reserve associated with these commitments included in interest payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets was $415,000 at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Commercial Real Estate Concentrations

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in commercial real estate related loans. The Company’s commercial real estate loans are secured by owner occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate and multifamily properties. Although management believes that loans within these concentrations have no more than the normal risk of collectability, a decline in the performance of the economy in general or a decline in real estate value in the Company’s primary market areas in particular, could have an adverse impact on collectability.

Other Assets

The Company has commitments to fund Low Income Housing Tax Credit Partnerships (“LIHTC”) and a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”). At both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the remaining commitments to the LIHTC and SBIC were approximately $1.8 million and $122,000, respectively.

Deposits

At September 30, 2020, approximately $238.2 million, or 12.1%, of the Company's deposits were derived from its top ten depositors. At December 31, 2019, approximately $157.0 million, or 9.2%, of the Company's deposits were derived from its top ten depositors.

Local Agency Deposits and Other Advances

In the normal course of business, the Company accepts deposits from local agencies. The Company is required to provide collateral for certain local agency deposits in the states of California, Colorado, New Mexico and Washington. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the FHLB issued letters of credit on behalf of the Company totaling $31.5 million and $21.5 million, respectively, as collateral for local agency deposits.

●

secondary market conditions for loans and our ability to originate loans held for sale and to sell loans in the secondary market;

●

results of examinations of us by regulatory authorities and the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, limit our business activities, require us to change our business mix, increase our allowance for loan and lease losses, write-down asset values or increase our capital levels, affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits;

●

risks related to our acquisition strategy, including our ability to identify future suitable acquisition candidates, exposure to potential asset and credit quality risks and unknown or contingent liabilities, the need for capital to finance such transactions, our ability to obtain required regulatory approvals and possible failures in realizing the anticipated benefits from acquisitions;

●

challenges arising from attempts to expand into new geographic markets, products, or services;

●

future goodwill impairment due to changes in our business, market conditions, or other factors;

Executive Overview

General. BayCom is a bank holding company headquartered in Walnut Creek, California. BayCom’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, United Business Bank, provides a broad range of financial services to businesses and business owners as well as individuals through its network of 34 full-service branches, with 16 locations in California, two in Washington, five in Central New Mexico and 11 in Colorado, including four full-service branches recently acquired in our acquisition of GMB. At September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $2.3 billion in total assets, $1.7 billion in total loans, $1.9 billion in total deposits and $255.3 million in shareholders’ equity. The Company’s business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including consolidated financial statements and related data, relate primarily to the Bank.

Our principal objective is to continue to increase shareholder value and generate consistent earnings growth by expanding our commercial banking franchise through both strategic acquisitions and organic growth. In recent years, we have expanded our geographic footprint through ten strategic acquisitions, which includes our most recent acquisition of GMB, which was completed in February 2020. We believe our strategy of selectively acquiring and integrating community banks has provided us with economies of scale and improved our overall franchise efficiency. Looking forward, we expect to continue to pursue strategic acquisitions and believe our targeted market areas present us with many and varied acquisition opportunities. We are also focused on continuing to grow organically and believe the markets in which we operate currently provide meaningful opportunities to expand our commercial client base and increase our current market share. We believe our geographic footprint, which now includes the San Francisco Bay area and the metropolitan markets of Los Angeles and Seattle and other community markets including Albuquerque, New Mexico and Denver, Colorado, provides us with access to low cost, stable core deposits in community markets that we can use to fund commercial loan growth. We strive to provide an enhanced banking experience for our clients by providing them with a comprehensive suite of sophisticated banking products and services tailored to meet their needs, while delivering the high quality, relationship-based client service of a community bank.

The profitability of our operations depends primarily on our net interest income after provision for loan losses, which is the difference between interest earned on interest earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities less provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses is dependent on changes in our loan portfolio and management’s assessment of the collectability of our loan portfolio as well as prevailing economic and market conditions. Our net income is also affected by noninterest income and noninterest expenses. Noninterest income and noninterest expenses are impacted by the growth of our banking operations and growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts both organically and through strategic acquisitions.

Set forth below is a discussion of the primary factors we use to evaluate and manage our results of operations:

Net interest income. Net interest income represents interest income less interest expense. We generate interest income from interest and fees received on interest earning assets, including loans and investment securities and dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) stock we own. We incur interest expense from interest paid on interest bearing liabilities, including interest bearing deposits and borrowings. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor: (i) yields on our loans and other interest earning assets; (ii) the costs of our deposits and other funding sources; (iii) our net interest margin; and (iv) the regulatory risk weighting associated with the assets. Net interest margin is calculated as the annualized net interest income divided by average interest earning assets. Because noninterest bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest bearing deposits and shareholders’ equity, also fund interest earning assets, net interest margin includes the benefit of these noninterest bearing sources.

Changes in market interest rates, the slope of the yield curve, and interest we earn on interest earning assets or pay on interest bearing liabilities, as well as the volume and types of interest earning assets, interest bearing and noninterest bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity, usually have the largest impact on changes in our net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income during a reporting period. Because the length of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of the extraordinary measures being put in place to address its economic consequences are unknown, including the recent 150 basis point reductions in the targeted federal funds rate, until the pandemic subsides, the Company expects its net interest income and net interest margin will be adversely affected in 2020 and possibly longer.

Table of Contents

Noninterest income. Noninterest income consists of, among other things: (i) loan servicing and other fees; (ii) gain on sale of loans; and (iii) other noninterest income. Gain on sale of loans includes income (or losses) from the sale of the guaranteed portion of U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, capitalized loan servicing rights and other related income.

Provision for loan losses. We established an allowance for loan losses by charging amounts to loan provision at a level required to reflect estimated credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management considers many factors including historical experience, types and amounts of the portfolio and adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, among other factors. See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Allowance for loan loss” for a description of the manner in which the provision for loan losses is established.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense includes, among other things: (i) salaries and related benefits; (ii) occupancy and equipment expense; (iii) data processing; (iv) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and state assessments; (v) outside and professional services; (vi) amortization of intangibles; and (vii) other general and administrative expenses. Salaries and related benefits include compensation, employee benefits and employment tax expenses for our personnel. Occupancy expense includes depreciation expense on our owned properties, lease expense on our leased properties and other occupancy-related expenses. Data processing expense includes data fees paid to our third-party data processing system provider and other data service providers. FDIC and state assessments expense represents the assessments that we pay to the FDIC for deposit insurance and other regulatory costs to various states. Outside and professional fees include legal, accounting, consulting and other outsourcing arrangements. Amortization of intangibles represents the amortization of our core deposit intangible from various acquisitions. Other general and administrative expenses include expenses associated with travel, meals, training, supplies and postage. Noninterest expenses generally increase as we grow our business. Noninterest expenses have increased significantly over the past few years as we have grown through acquisitions and organically, and as we have built out our operational infrastructure.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex, or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy, and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.

The following represent our critical accounting policies:

Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management. Periodically, we charge current earnings with provisions for estimated probable losses of loans receivable. The provision or adjustment takes into consideration the adequacy of the total allowance for loan losses giving due consideration to specifically identified problem loans, the financial condition of the borrowers, fair value of the underlying collateral, recourse provisions, prevailing economic conditions, and other factors. Additional consideration is given to our historical loan loss experience relative to our loan portfolio concentrations related to industry, collateral and geography. This evaluation is inherently subjective and requires estimates that are susceptible to significant change as additional or new information becomes available. In addition, regulatory examiners may require additional allowances based on their judgments of the information regarding problem loans and credit risk available to them at the time of their examinations.

Generally, the allowance for loan loss consists of various components including a component for specifically identified weaknesses as a result of individual loans being impaired, a component for general non-specific weakness related to historical experience, economic conditions and other factors that indicate probable loss in the loan portfolio, and an unallocated component that relates to the inherent imprecision in the use of estimates. Loans determined to be impaired are individually evaluated by management for specific risk of loss.

In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, we grant a concession to the borrower that we would not otherwise consider, the related loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring, or TDR. We measure any loss on the TDR in accordance with the guidance concerning impaired loans set forth above. Additionally, TDRs are generally placed on nonaccrual status at the time of restructuring and included in impaired loans. These loans

Table of Contents

are returned to accrual status after the borrower demonstrates performance with the modified terms for a sustained period of time (generally six months) and has the capacity to continue to perform in accordance with the modified terms of the restructured debt.

Estimated expected cash flows related to purchased credit impaired loans. Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are accounted for under ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. In situations where such PCI loans have similar risk characteristics, loans may be aggregated into pools to estimate cash flows. A pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single interest rate, cumulative loss rate and cash flow expectation.

The cash flows expected over the life of the PCI loan or pool are estimated using an internal cash flow model that projects cash flows and calculates the carrying values of the pools, book yields, effective interest income and impairment, if any, based on pool level events. Assumptions as to default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds are utilized to calculate the expected cash flows.

Expected cash flows at the acquisition date in excess of the fair value of loans are considered to be accretable yield, which is recognized as interest income over the life of the loan or pool using a level yield method if the timing and amounts of the future cash flows of the pool are reasonably estimable. Subsequent to the acquisition date, any increases in cash flow over those expected at purchase date in excess of fair value are recorded as interest income prospectively. Any subsequent decreases in cash flow over those expected at purchase date are recognized by recording an allowance for loan losses. Any disposals of loans, including sales of loans, payments in full or foreclosures result in the removal of the loan from the loan pool at the carrying amount.

Business combinations. We apply the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Under the acquisition method, the acquiring entity in a business combination recognizes all of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Management utilizes prevailing valuation techniques appropriate for the asset or liability being measured in determining these fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over amounts allocated to assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Where amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is greater than the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recognized. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred unless they are directly attributable to the issuance of the Company’s common stock in a business combination.

Loan sales and servicing of financial assets. Periodically, we sell loans and retain the servicing rights. The gain or loss on sale of loans depends in part on the previous carrying amount of the financial assets involved in the transfer, allocated between the assets sold and the retained interests based on their relative fair value at the date of transfer. All servicing assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. In addition, we amortize servicing rights in proportion to and over the period of the estimated net servicing income or loss and assess the rights for impairment.

Income taxes. Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, which recognizes a liability or asset representing the tax effects, based on current tax law, of future deductible or taxable amounts attributable to events that have been recognized in the financial statements. A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the level at which it is “more likely than not” that the tax asset or benefits will be realized. Realization of tax benefits of deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards depends on having sufficient taxable income of an appropriate character within the carry forward periods.

We recognize that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if, based on its merits, the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit by the taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded as part of income tax expense.

Goodwill. Our goodwill, which has resulted from a number of acquisitions, is reviewed for impairment annually and more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that might indicate the recorded value of the goodwill is more than its implied value. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the general business climate; significant decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization; unanticipated competition; and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. Any adverse changes in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of goodwill and could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

The testing for impairment may begin with an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that the fair value of goodwill is less than carrying value. The qualitative assessment includes adverse events or circumstances identified that could negatively affect the reporting unit’s fair value as well as positive and mitigating events. When required, the goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first test for goodwill impairment is done by comparing the reporting unit’s aggregate fair value to its carrying value. The Company’s goodwill is assigned to the Bank and is evaluated for impairment at the Bank level (reporting unit). Absent other indicators of impairment, if the aggregate fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and no additional analysis is necessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit were to exceed the aggregate fair value, a second test would be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. To measure any impairment loss the implied fair value would be determined in the same manner as if the reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill were less than the recorded goodwill an impairment charge would be recorded for the difference. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had positive equity, however, as a result of the potential credit losses and adverse economic impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company elected to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Bank, the reporting unit, exceeds its’ carrying value, including goodwill. The qualitative assessment indicated that it was more likely than not that the Bank’s fair value exceeded its’ carrying value, resulting in no impairment. If adverse economic conditions or the recent decrease in our stock price and market capitalization as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic were to be deemed sustained rather than temporary, it may significantly affect the fair value of our goodwill and may trigger impairment charges. Any impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. See Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors - “The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our ability to conduct business and is expected to adversely impact our financial results and those of our clients. The ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic” for additional information.

BayCom’s Response to COVID-19

In response to the current global situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is offering a variety of relief options designed to support our clients and the communities we serve.

Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Participation. The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and authorized the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to guarantee loans under a loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP. The goal of the PPP was to avoid as many layoffs as possible, and to encourage small businesses to maintain payrolls. As a qualified SBA lender, the Company was automatically authorized to originate PPP loans upon commencement of the program in April 2020. PPP loans have: (a) an interest rate of 1.0%, (b) a loan term maturity of up to five years; and (c) principal and interest payments deferred for six months from the date of disbursement. The SBA guarantees 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers. The entire principal amount of the borrower’s PPP loan, including any accrued interest, is eligible to be forgiven and repaid by the SBA so long as the borrower meets certain criteria. Through the conclusion of the PPP program on August 8, 2020, the Company has accepted 1,310359 applications for PPP loans, including applications from new and existing clients who are small to midsize businesses as well as independent contractors, sole proprietors and partnerships.

As of September 30, 2020, we have funded approximately $140.2 million in PPP loans, with an average loan amount of $103,000. In addition to the 1% interest earned on these loans, the SBA paid us fees for processing PPP loans in the following amounts: (i) five (5) percent for loans of not more than $350,000; (ii) three (3) percent for loans of more than $350,000 and less than $2,000,000; and one (1) percent for loans of at least $2,000,000. We may not collect any fees from the loan applicants. The following table summarizes our PPP participation as of September 30, 2020:


	Funded
	Total			Average
	Outstanding		Number	Size

	(Dollars in thousands)
Existing clients	$	85,491	655	$	131
New clients		54,718	704		78
Total PPP loans	$	140,209	1,359	$	103

Table of Contents

We are also authorized to utilize the FRB's Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”), pursuant to which the Company would pledge its PPP loans as collateral at face value to obtain FRB non-recourse loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Loan Modifications

At September 30, 2020, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was $15.8 million, or 0.93% of total loans, compared to $13.5 million, or 0.78% of total loans, at June 30, 2020, and $6.4 million, or 0.52% of loans outstanding, at September 30, 2019. The provision for loan losses totaled $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $4.4 million the prior quarter and $479,000 for the same quarter last year due to the migration of acquired loans out of the discounted acquired loan portfolio and, for the second and third quarter of 2020, consideration of probable loan losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have received numerous requests from borrowers for some type of payment relief. At September 30, 2020, we had provided payment relief related to COVID-19 on 426 loans totaling $413.9 million, of which 371 loans totaling $335.8 million or 81.1% have resumed their normal loan payments. As of September 30, 2020, 55 loans totaling $78.1 million are under payment relief including 30 loans totaling $57.8 million that have entered into a second payment forbearance agreement. The relief for borrowers requesting a second forbearance agreement is to allow interest only payments and principal and interest deferral for up to 180 days. Since these loans were performing loans that were current on their payments prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, these modifications were not classified as TDRs at September 30, 2020 in accordance with the guidance of the CARES Act. As a reminder, the CARES Act provided that the short-term modification of loans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined under the CARES Act prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g. six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers are considered current under the CARES Act and regulatory guidance if they are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments as of December 31, 2019.

The Company has made available the following short-term relief option to all borrowers affected by COVID-19:

●

Interest only payments on term debt for up to 180 days;

●

Full payment deferrals for up to 180 days upon request with an extension for another 180 days upon submission of specified documentation and recovery plans;

●

Loan re-amortization, especially in cases where significant prepayments of principal have occurred and to provide for continuing payment reduction at the end of the 180-day deferment period;

●

Covenant waivers and resets.

All loans modified due to COVID-19 will be separately monitored and any request for continuation of relief beyond the initial modification will be reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate.

As reflected in the above table, the primary method of relief granted by the Company has been to allow the borrower to defer their loan payments (interest only or principal and interest) for up to six months. After the deferral period, normal loan payments will continue, however, payments will be applied first to interest until the deferred interest is repaid and thereafter applied to both principal and interest with any deficiency in amortized principal payments added to the balloon payment due at maturity. We believe the steps we are taking are necessary to effectively manage our portfolio and assist our clients through the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the duration, impact and government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Branch Operations and Additional Client Support

We have taken various steps to ensure the safety of our clients and our personnel. Many of our employees are working remotely or have flexible work schedules, and we have established protective measures within our offices to help ensure the safety of those employees who must work on-site. The Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which requires certain employers to provide employees with paid sick leave or expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19, also provides additional flexibility to our employees to help navigate their individual challenges.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused varying degrees of disruption to our branch operations resulting in the implementation of various social distancing measures at the Company to address client and community needs. To ensure the safety of our clients and employees, services are offered through drive up facilities, ATMs, online banking, our call center operations and/or by appointment. We have installed counter shields and hand sanitizing stations, limited the number of clients in a branch at any one time, required social distancing and the wearing of masks within branches, diligent disinfecting of common area high touchpoints, such as tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, and the like, and encouraged the use of our digital and electronic banking channels. We continuously monitor and conform our practices based on updates from the Center for Disease Control, World Health Organization, Financial Regulatory Agencies, and local and state health departments.

Overdraft and fee reversals are waived on a case-by-case basis. We are cautious when paying overdrafts beyond the client's total deposit relationship, overdraft protection options or their overdraft coverage limits.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019

Total assets. Total assets increased $277.6 million, or 13.9%, to $2.3 billion at September 30, 2020, from $2.0 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase primarily was the result of loans increasing $228.1 million, or 15.7%, driven by the completion of our acquisition of GMB during the first quarter of 2020, and new loan originations, primarily PPP loans.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $24.4 million, or 8.3%, to $319.8 million, at September 30, 2020, from $295.4 million at December 31, 2019, primarily as a result of the proceeds received from our issuance and sale of $65.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) further described under “Borrowings” below. We intend to invest our excess cash in loans and marketable securities until such funds are needed to support acquisitions or other growth oriented operating or strategic initiatives.

Investment securities available-for-sale. Investment securities available-for-sale decreased $6.2 million, or 5.2%, to $113.7 million at September 30, 2020 from $119.9 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the routine amortization and repayment of investment principal balances, partially offset by $4.4 million of securities acquired in the GMB acquisition. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all of our investment securities were classified as available-for-sale.

Loans receivable, net. We originate a wide variety of loans with a focus on commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans and commercial and industrial loans. Loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses, increased $228.1 million, or 15.7%, to $1.7 billion at September 30, 2020 from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by $140.2 million of PPP loans, $98.4 million of loans acquired in the GMB acquisition and $146.6 million in new loan originations. Loan originations for the first nine months of 2020 totaled $286.9 million compared to $176.6 million for the first nine months of 2019. The increase in loan originations for the current period compared to the comparable period in 2019 primarily was the result of the growth of our operations from recent acquisitions and PPP loans. Loan originations in 2020 were concentrated in California markets, primarily Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento/Northern California with commercial and multifamily real estate secured loans accounting for the majority of the originations.

Includes loans located primarily in the states of Colorado, New Mexico and Washington. At September 30, 2020, loans in Colorado, New Mexico and Washington totaled $211.6 million, $79.7 million and $91.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2019, loans in Colorado, New Mexico and Washington totaled $142.0 million, $89.6 million and $103.7 million, respectively.

Nonperforming assets and nonaccrual loans. Nonperforming assets consists of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans that are 90 days past due and other real estate owned (“OREO”). Nonperforming assets increased $192,000, or 2.5%, to $7.9 million at September 30, 2020 from $7.7 million at December 31, 2019, primarily due to an increase in nonaccrual loans, partially offset by a decrease in OREO and accruing loans 90 days and more past due. Included in nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are $775,000 and $789,000, respectively, of TDRs, which are performing in accordance with their restructured terms. The Company had nonaccrual loans totaling $7.6 million or 0.45% of total loans, of which $872,000 million are guaranteed by governmental agencies at September 30, 2020, compared to $7.1 million or 0.49% of total loans at December 31, 2019. This increase in nonaccrual loans during the first nine months of 2020 was primarily driven by the addition of six loans within the commercial and industrial loan portfolio, partially offset by the payoff of two other loans in that category. At September 30, 2020, accruing loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $1.2 million, compared to $12.8 million at December 31, 2019. This decrease reflects our efforts to process loan extensions, loan renewals and collect past due payments. OREO totaled $296,000 and $574,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

In general, loans are placed on nonaccrual status after being contractually delinquent for more than 90 days or earlier if management believes full collection of future principal and interest on a timely basis is unlikely. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest accrued but not received is charged against interest income. When the ability to fully collect nonaccrual loan principal is in doubt, cash payments received are applied against the principal balance of the loan until such time as full collection of the remaining recorded balance is expected. Generally, loans with temporarily impaired values and loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties are placed on nonaccrual status even though the borrowers continue to repay the loans as scheduled. Such loans are categorized as performing nonaccrual loans and are reflected in nonperforming assets. Interest received on such loans is recognized as interest income when received. A nonaccrual loan

is restored to an accrual basis when principal and interest payments are paid current and full payment of principal and interest is probable. Loans that are well secured and in the process of collection remain on accrual status.

Loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date without a carryover of the related allowance for loan and lease losses. These acquired loans are segregated into three types: pass rated loans with no discount attributable to credit quality, non-impaired loans with a discount attributable at least in part to credit quality and impaired loans with evidence of significant credit deterioration.

●

Pass rated loans (typically performing loans) are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 310-20 “Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs” as these loans do not have evidence of credit deterioration since origination.

●

Non-impaired loans (typically performing substandard loans) are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 310-30 if they display at least some level of credit deterioration since origination.

●

Impaired loans (typically substandard loans on nonaccrual status) are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 310-30 as they display significant credit deterioration since origination.

For pass rated loans (non-purchased credit-impaired loans), the difference between the estimated fair value of the loans and the principal outstanding is accreted over the remaining life of the loans.

In accordance with ASC Topic 310-30, for both purchased non-impaired loans (performing substandard loans) and purchased credit-impaired loans, the loans are pooled by loan type and the difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the nonaccretable difference. Further, any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan pools when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows.

Troubled debt restructured loans. Troubled debt restructurings, also referred to as “TDRs” herein, which are accounted for under ASC Topic 310-40, are loans which have renegotiated loan terms to assist borrowers who are unable to meet the original terms of their loans. Such modifications to loan terms may include a below market interest rate, a reduction in principal, or a longer term to maturity. At September 30, 2020, TDRs totaled $3.7 million, compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2019. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had TDRs that were accruing and performing in accordance with their modified terms of $775,000 and $789,000, respectively. Performing TDRs are not considered nonperforming assets as they continue to accrue interest despite being considered impaired due to the restructured status. The CARES Act amended the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) with respect to the modification of loans to borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other criteria, this guidance provided that short-term loan modifications made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined under the CARES Act prior to any relief, are not TDRs. As of September 30, 2020 the Company had approved 426 loan modifications qualifying under the CARES Act related to the COVID-19 pandemic totaling $413.9 million, of which 371 loans totaling $335.8 million or 81.1% have resumed their normal loan payments. As of September 30, 2020, 55 loans totaling $78.1 million are under payment relief including 30 loans totaling $57.8 million that have entered into a second payment forbearance agreement.

Loans more than 90 days past due still accruing interest are included in nonperforming assets above, and are included in the numerators used to calculate this ratio.

Loans under ASC Topic 310-30 are considered performing and are not included in nonperforming assets in the table above. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no credit impaired loans under ASC Topic 310-30 that were 90 days past due and still accruing.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, interest foregone on nonaccrual loans was $117,500 and $338,500, none of which was included in interest income, compared to $66,500 and $155,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Potential problem loans. Potential problem loans are those loans that are currently accruing interest and are not considered impaired, but which we are monitoring because the financial information of the borrower causes us concerns as to their ability to comply with their loan repayment terms. Potential problem loans, not included in our nonperforming loans, totaled $62.5 million at September 30, 2020, including $57.8 million of loans granted a second COVID-19 payment relief which are considered higher risk. Potential problem loans totaled $5.5 million at December 31, 2019

Allowance for loan losses. We establish an allowance for loan losses by charging amounts to the loan provision at a level required to reflect estimated credit losses in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers, among other factors, historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions and current risk factors specifically related to each loan type. See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Allowance for loan losses” for a description of the manner in which the provision for loan losses is established.

Table of Contents

In accordance with acquisition accounting, loans acquired in our acquisitions were recorded at their estimated fair value, which resulted in a net discount to the loans contractual amounts, of which a portion reflects a discount for possible credit losses. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value and as a result no allowance for loan losses is recorded for acquired loans at the acquisition date. Although the discount recorded on the acquired loans is not reflected in the allowance for loan losses, or related allowance coverage ratios, we believe it should be considered when comparing the current ratios to similar ratios in periods prior to our recent acquisitions. As of September 30, 2020, acquired loans, net of their discounts, totaled $240.0 million compared to $590.9 million at December 31, 2019, due to the migration of acquired loans out of the discounted acquired loan portfolio and consideration of probable loan losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The remaining net discount on these acquired loans was $4.1 million and $8.0 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The $140.2 million balance of PPP loans was omitted from the calculation for the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2020 as these loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and management expects that the great majority of PPP borrowers will seek full or partial forgiveness of their loan obligations from the SBA within a short time frame, which in turn will reimburse the Bank for the amount forgiven.

Based on the Company’s established comprehensive methodology discussed above, the allowance for loan losses was $15.8 million at September 30, 2020, or 0.93% of total loans and 208.94% of nonperforming loans. This compares to an allowance for loan losses of $7.4 million, or 0.51% of total loans and 104.34% of nonperforming loans, at December 31, 2019.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $8.3 million in impaired loans, inclusive of $7.6 million of nonperforming loans and $775,000 of performing TDRs. Of these impaired loans, only $1.0 million had allowances for loan losses recorded of $591,000, as the estimated collateral value or discounted expected cash flow for the remaining impaired loans is equal to or exceeds their carrying costs. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $7.6 million in impaired loans, inclusive of $7.1 million of nonperforming loans and $789,000 of performing TDRs. Of these impaired loans, only $464,000 had allowances for loan losses recorded of $171,000, as the estimated collateral value or discounted expected cash flow for the remaining impaired loans is equal to or exceeds their carrying costs.

Management considers the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2020 to be adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of the above-mentioned factors affecting the loan portfolio. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future losses will not exceed the amount of the established allowance for loan losses or that any increased allowance for loan losses that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. A further decline in national and local economic conditions, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors, could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in additions to our provision for loan losses based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new accounting standards that require lessees to recognize operating leases on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities based on the value of the discounted future lease payments. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Expanded disclosures about the nature and terms of lease agreements are required prospectively and are included in Note 7 – Premises and Equipment in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1 - Financial Statements” within this report. The Company elected to retain prior determinations of whether an existing contract contains a lease and how the lease should be classified. The recognition of leases existing on January 1, 2019 did not require an adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Upon adoption of the accounting standards, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $7.8 million and $8.2 million respectively. Adoption of these accounting standards did not have a significant effect on the Company’s regulatory capital measures.

Right-of-use assets decreased $2.2 million, or 14.6%, to $13.1 million at September 30, 2020 from $15.3 million at December 31, 2019. Lease liabilities decreased $2.5 million, or 16.0%, to $13.1 million at September 30, 2020 from $15.6 million at December 31, 2019. Both decreases were due to reductions caused by monthly rent payments.

Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment increased $5.1 million, or 48.4%, to $15.6 million at September 30, 2020 from $10.5 million at December 31, 2019. This increase in premises and equipment was driven by a $3.9 million increase related to the GMB acquisition, $1.2 million for the installation of new ATMs and video conferencing equipment in branches and $750,000 in leasehold improvements. These increases were partially offset by an increase in amortization and depreciation expenses associated with these investments.

Deposits. Deposits are our primary source of funding and consist of core deposits from the communities served by our branch and office locations. We offer a variety of deposit accounts with a competitive range of interest rates and terms to both consumers and businesses. Deposits include interest bearing and noninterest bearing demand accounts, savings, money market, certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. These accounts earn interest at rates established by management based on competitive market factors, management’s desire to increase certain product types or maturities, and in keeping with our asset/liability, liquidity and profitability objectives. Competitive products, competitive pricing and high touch client service are important to attracting and retaining these deposits.

Total deposits increased $207.5 million, or 12.2%, to $1.9 billion at September 30, 2020 from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase in deposits was primarily driven by $118.1 million of deposits acquired in the GMB acquisition, proceeds from PPP loans deposited directly into customer accounts and reduced withdrawals from deposit accounts due to a change in spending habits as a result of COVID-19. Noninterest bearing demand deposits totaled $713.3 million, or 37.4% of total deposits, at September 30, 2020 compared to $572.3 million, or 33.6% of total deposits at December 31, 2019.

Borrowings. Deposits are our primary source of funds but we may from time to time utilize borrowings as a cost effective source of funds when they can be invested at a positive interest rate spread, for additional capacity to fund loan demand, or to meet our asset/liability management goals. We are a member of and may obtain advances from the FHLB of San Francisco, which is part of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. These advances are provided upon the security of certain of our mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. These advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate, range of maturities and call features.

At September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding FHLB borrowings totaling $10.0 million compared to no FHLB borrowings at December 31, 2019. In May 2020, the Company secured a $10.0 million advance from the FHLB of San Francisco comprised of two $5.0 million tranches, at no cost, maturing on November 9, 2020 and May 7, 2021, respectively. At both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, net of fair value adjustments, totaling $8.3 million which were assumed in connection with our previous acquisitions.

On August 6, 2020, the Company issued and sold in an underwritten offering the Subordinated Notes, resulting in net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses, $63.3 million.

If needed, we may also utilize Fed Funds purchased from correspondent banks as a source of short-term funding. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had a total of $75.0 million and $55.0 million, respectively, in federal funds line available from third-party financial institutions, and no balances outstanding at these dates.

We are required to provide collateral for certain local agency deposits. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the FHLB of San Francisco had issued a letter of credit on behalf of the Bank totaling $31.5 million and $21.5 million, respectively as collateral for local agency deposits.

Shareholders’ equity. Shareholders’ equity increased $1.1 million, or 0.4%, to $255.3 million at September 30, 2020 from $254.2 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 was primarily due to net income of $9.2 million and a $1.6 million increase in other comprehensive income representing an increase in the unrealized gains on investments securities, net of tax, partially offset by the repurchase of $10.7 million of our common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company repurchased a total of 739,151 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $10.7 million, or $14.53 per share, leaving 31,984 shares available for future purchases under our stock repurchase plan. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company adopted another stock repurchase plan for up to 590,000 shares of its common stock. For additional information see Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds”).

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Earnings summary. Net income was $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of 2.3 million or 41.6%. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $9.2 million, compared to $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $3.5 million or 27.8%. Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was significantly impacted by the higher provision for loan losses primarily related to the migration of acquired loans out of the discounted acquired loan portfolio and consideration of probable loan losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in a reduction in business activity or the closing of businesses in all the states the Company operates.

We also completed three acquisitions over the last year which increased both net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, and operational expenses. The Company acquired GMB and its wholly owned subsidiary Grand Mountain Bank in the first quarter 2020, TIG and its wholly owned subsidiary First State Bank of Colorado during the fourth quarter of 2019 and Uniti Financial Corporation (“UFC”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Uniti Bank in the second quarter of 2019. Acquisition-related expenses totaled $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $4.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Diluted earnings per share were $0.27 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $0.19 from diluted earnings per share of $0.46 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Diluted earnings were $0.76 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $0.35 from diluted earnings per share of $1.11 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The impact of acquisition-related expenses was none and $0.18 per diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $0.27 per diluted share for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company’s efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income before provision for loan losses plus noninterest income, was 67.95% and 67.90% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 58.70% and 65.34% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Increased interest expense, reflecting acquisitions, outpaced the growth of net interest income and noninterest income which were impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interest income. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $21.2 million, compared to $20.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $833,000 or 4.1%. The increase in interest income was due to an increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans, which was driven primarily by our recent acquisitions and PPP lending. Average interest earning assets increased $433.2 million or 26.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. Interest on loans, including fees, increased $2.6 million, or 14.9%, primarily as a result of a $513.7 million increase in the average loan balance, partially offset by a 112 basis point decrease in the average loan yield during the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to this same period in 2019. The average yield on loans for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was 4.64%, compared to 5.76% for the same period in 2019. Interest income included $594,000 in fees earned related to PPP loans in the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to none in same period a year ago. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the average balance of PPP loans was $136.7 million and the average yield was 2.75%. Although the average balance of loans increased, the average yield on net loans decreased compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to decreases in interest rates on adjustable rate instruments following decreases to short-term rates over the last year, including the emergency 150 basis point reduction in the targeted federal funds rate in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and secondarily due to the impact of PPP loans. The impact of PPP loans on loan yields will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments or amounts forgiven by the SBA as certain criteria are met, but is expected to cease completely after the two-year maturity of the loans. The accretion of the net discount on acquired loans increased the average yield on loans by 19 basis points and 51 basis points during the third quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Interest income on loans for the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 included $824,000 and $1.6 million, respectively, in accretion of purchase accounting fair value adjustments on acquired loans including the recognition of revenue from purchase credit impaired loans in excess of discounts. The incremental accretion and the impact on loan yield will change during any period based upon the volume of prepayments, but it is expected to decrease over time as the balance of the net discount declines.

Table of Contents

Interest income on interest bearing deposits decreased $1.8 million to $154,000 as a result of a $96.1 million decrease in the average balance of interest bearing deposits and a 201 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest bearing deposits to 0.25% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, from 2.26% for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Interest income on investment securities available-for-sale increased slightly by $22,000 as a result of a $11.6 million increase in the average balance of investment securities available-for-sale, partially offset by a 20 basis point decrease in the average yield on investment securities to 2.52% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from 2.72% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, during the same periods.

Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $66.5 million, compared to $54.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 an increase $11.8 million or 21.6%. The increase in interest income was due to an increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans, which was driven primarily by our recent acquisitions and organic growth, including PPP lending. Average interest earning assets increased $496.4 million or 32.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. Interest on loans, including fees, increased $16.3 million, or 35.3%, primarily as a result of a $574.7 million increase in the average loan balance, partially offset by a 68 basis point decrease in the average loan yield during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to this same period in 2019. The average yield on loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 5.03%, compared to 5.71% for the same period in 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to this same period in 2019, the accretion of the net discount on acquired loans increased the yield on loans by 36 basis points and 39 basis points, respectively. Interest income on loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $4.4 million in accretion of purchase accounting fair value adjustments on acquired loans, compared to $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The remaining net discount on these purchased loans was $4.1 million and $8.0 million at September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Interest income on interest earning deposits decreased $4.8 million to $1.2 million as a result of a $100.0 million decrease in the average balance of interest earning deposits and a 175 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest earning deposits to 0.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from 2.43% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Interest income on investment securities increased $200,000 as a result of a 17.1 million increase in the average balance of investment securities available-for-sale, partially offset by an 18 basis point decrease in the average yield on investment securities to 2.55% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from 2.73% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $415,000, or 15.8%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared $2.6 million for to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 35 basis points to 0.70% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from 1.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Total average interest bearing liabilities increased $259.3 million, or 26.0%, to $1.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from $994.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Interest expense on deposits decreased $931,000, or 37.4%, to $1.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 from $2.5 million during this same period in 2019, primarily due to a decrease in the rate paid on interest bearing deposits and despite an increase in the average balance. The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased by 48 basis points to 0.52% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, from 1.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, due to lower deposit pricing after the targeted federal funds rate decreases. The overall average cost of deposits for the third quarter of 2020 declined to 0.33%, compared to 0.65% for the third quarter of 2019 due to a 36.9% increase in noninterest bearing deposits and a reduction in market interest rates over the last year. The average balance of noninterest bearing deposits increased $192.1 million, or 36.9%, to $712.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $520.3 million for the same period in 2019. The market’s response to lowering deposit pricing to reflect the targeted federal funds rate decreases over the past year typically lags declines in the yield on interest earning assets.

Interest expense on borrowings increased $516,000, or 368.6%, to $656,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, from $140,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as a result of the issuance of the Notes on August 10, 2020, which currently have a 5.25% interest rate. The average balance of borrowing outstanding

increased $45.3 million to $53.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $8.2 million during the comparable period in 2019. As discussed previously, the Company paid off $6.0 million of short-term borrowings using net proceeds of the issuance of the Notes. The decline in the average cost of borrowing to 4.86% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, from 6.76% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, partially offset the increase in the average balance of borrowings outstanding.

Interest expense increased by $476,000, or 7.9%, to $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 16 basis points to 0.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 0.88% for the same period last year. Total average interest bearing liabilities increased $286.2 million, or 31.2%, to $1.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $917.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Interest expense on deposits decreased $59,000, or 1.1%, to $5.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased by 20 basis points to 0.63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 0.83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The overall average cost of deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 declined to 0.40%, compared to 0.55% for the same nine months of 2019 due to a 42.1% increase in noninterest bearing deposits and a reduction in market interest rates over the last year. The average balance of noninterest bearing deposits, primarily due to the recent acquisitions increased $195.8 million, or 42.1%, to $661.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $465.3 million for the same period in 2019.

Interest expense on borrowings increased $553,000, or 123.5%, to $968,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from $433,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as a result of the issuance of the Notes. The average balance of borrowing outstanding increased $16.8 million to $25.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $8.2 million during the comparable period in 2019. The decline in the average cost of borrowing to 5.17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, from 7.07% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, partially offset the increase in the average balance of borrowings outstanding.

Net interest income. Net interest income increased $1.2 million, or 7.0%, to $19.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $17.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Annualized net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased 64 basis points to 3.59% from 4.23% for the same period in 2019. During the quarter, the low interest rate environment putting downward pressure on adjustable rate instruments combined with the impact of the low loan yields of the PPP loan portfolio, and a significant increase in low yielding interest-bearing deposits, adversely affected net interest margin. Accretion of acquisition accounting discounts on loans and the recognition of revenue from acquired loans in excess of discounts increased our net interest margin by 19 and 51 basis points during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and the three months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The average yield on interest earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was 4.01%, a 85 basis point decrease from 4.86% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, while the average cost of interest bearing liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased to 0.70%, a decrease of 35 basis points from 1.05% during the three months ended September 30, 2019, due primarily to lower market interest rates generally.

Net interest income increased $11.4 million, or 23.3%, to $60.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $48.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Annualized net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased 32 basis points to 3.96% from 4.28% for the same period in 2019. Accretion of acquisition accounting discounts on loans and the recognition of revenue from acquired loans in excess of discounts increased our net interest margin by 36 and 40 basis points during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The average yield on interest earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 4.40%, a 41 basis point decrease from 4.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, while the average cost of interest bearing liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased to 0.72%, a decrease of 16 basis points from 0.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, due primarily to lower market interest rates.

Rate/Volume Analysis. Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as changes in weighted average interest rates. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income during the periods shown. Information is provided with respect to (i) effects on interest income attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate) and (ii) effects on interest income attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). Changes applicable to both volume and rate have been allocated to volume. Yields have been calculated on a pre-tax basis.

Provision for loan losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.3 million and $8.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a provision for loan losses of $479,000 and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. This increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily a result of the migration of acquired loans out of the discounted acquired loan portfolio and is based upon current economic conditions and gives consideration to probable loan losses due to potential effects from higher forecasted unemployment rates and lower gross domestic product, as well as the impact of other economic conditions on the U.S. and global economies from COVID-19. In addition, the current quarter provision for credit losses also reflected risk rating downgrades on loans that were considered at higher risk due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The historical look back period was extended to capture a full business cycle reflecting volatility and losses of the last market downturn, consistent with the current environment impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We had net recoveries of $7,000 and charge-offs on loans of $4,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to net recoveries of $1,000 and $19,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.93% at September 30, 2020 compared to 0.52% at September 30, 2019. See Comparison of Financial Condition - Allowance for loan losses for additional details. A further decline in national and local economic conditions, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors, could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income decreased $286,000, or 13.5%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in noninterest income compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to a $513,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans as SBA loans originated for sale and sold have declined because of the pandemic. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold $3.3 million of SBA loans (the guaranteed portion), which generated a gain on sale of $176,000, compared to the sale of $10.7 million of SBA loans and a gain of $689,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease in gains on sale of loans during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was

Table of Contents

partially offset by increases of $165,000 in loan servicing fees and other loan fees and $43,000 in services charges and other fees primarily resulting from the increase in accounts acquired in our recent acquisitions.

Noninterest income decreased $1.1 million, or 15.7%, to $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in noninterest income compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to a $752,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans, a $376,000 decrease in income in our investment in the SBIC fund and a $212,000 decrease in gains on sale of premises. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold $15.0 million of SBA loans (the guaranteed portion), which generated a gain on sale of $1.0 million, compared to the sale of $24.3 million of SBA loans and a gain of $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in loan servicing and other loan fees of $482,000, or 35.3%, to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, for the same reasons discussed above. Other noninterest income decreased $171,000, or 20.4%, to $668,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $839,000 during the same period in 2019, due primarily to lower fees collected on Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Services, or CDARS, transactions.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense increased $2.5 million, or 21.4%, to $14.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $11.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Salaries and related benefits increased $1.0 million, or 14.0%, to $8.5 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $7.4 million for the comparable period in 2019, primarily as a result of an increase of 56 full-time equivalent employees to 312 at September 30, 2020, compared to 256 a year earlier. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $353,000, or 25.3%, to $1.7 million, primarily due to occupancy costs related to the operation of additional acquired branches. As of September 30, 2020, we operated 34 full-service branches, compared to 25 a year earlier. Data processing expenses increased $606,000, or 58.5%, to $1.6 million, primarily due to primarily to higher transaction volumes from the increase in the number of our deposit accounts. Other noninterest expense increased $491,000, or 27.4%, to $2.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.8 million during the same period in 2019, primarily due to an increase in insurance (FDIC premiums) which increased $182,000 to $212,000 as a portion of the Bank’s small bank assessment credit offset the assessment in the quarter ended September 30, 2019, with no such credit available in the quarter ended September 30, 2020. In addition, professional fees increased $152,000 due to higher fees paid for employee recruiting placement and legal expenses. Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2020 and 2019 did not include any acquisition-related expense.

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $8.4 million, or 23.2%, to $44.6 million from $36.2 million in the same period in 2019, due to our three acquisitions over the last year and organic growth. Salaries and employee benefits increased $4.8 million or 23.5%, to $25.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $20.6 million during the same period in 2019. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was due primarily to an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees and severance benefits paid in connection with the GMB merger and to a lesser extent normal salary increase. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $1.7 million, or 49.4%, to $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2019 due to the three acquisitions completed over the last year. Data processing expense increased $1.1 million, or 19.0%, to $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2019 due primarily to higher transaction volumes from the increase in the number of deposit accounts, partially offset by lower acquisition-related expenses compared to the prior period in 2019. Other noninterest expense increased $724,000, or 11.3%, to $7.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $6.4 million during the same period in 2019, primarily due to a $412,000 increase in professional fees resulting from higher fees paid for employee recruiting and internal auditing and compliance related expenses. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $3.0 million of GMB acquisition-related expenses, comprised of $266,000 in salaries and benefits, $2.0 million in data processing expenses, $369,000 in professional fees and $383,000 in all other expenses, compared to $4.1 million UFC acquisition-related expenses during the same period in 2019. Excluding all acquisition-related expenses, noninterest expenses increased $9.5 million, or 29.7%, from the same period of 2019, comprised of increases of $5.2 million in salary and benefits, $1.8 million in occupancy and equipment, $1.7 million in data processing, $578,000 in professional fees and $294,000 in other noninterest expenses.

The following table details the components of noninterest expense for the periods indicated:

Income taxes. Income tax expense decreased $1.1 million, or 47.6%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, income tax expense decreased $1.8 million or 33.6%, to $3.5 million, compared to $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These variations are reflecting fluctuations in the pre-tax income and to a lesser extent, a decrease in our effective tax rate. The Company’s effective tax rate was 25.9% and 27.6% for three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 28.0% and 29.3% for the same periods in 2019. The decreases in the Company’s effective tax rate during three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 were primarily due to higher proportion of favorable permanent adjustments relative to taxable income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Planning for our normal business liquidity needs, both expected and unexpected, is done on a daily and short-term basis through the cash management function. On a longer-term basis, it is accomplished through the budget and strategic planning functions, with support from internal asset/liability management software model projections.

Management maintains a liquidity position that it believes will adequately provide funding for loan demand and deposit run off that may occur in the normal course of business. We rely on a number of different sources in order to meet our potential liquidity demands. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, escrow and custodial deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and proceeds from sale of loans. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash, short-term investments, including interest bearing demand deposits and securities available-for-sale. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.

In addition to these primary sources of funds, management has several secondary sources available to meet potential funding requirements. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Bank had an available borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $466.7 million and $542.4 million, respectively, and Federal Funds lines with available commitments totaling $75.0 million and $55.0 million with four correspondent banks, respectively. In May 2020, the Bank secured a $10.0 million advance from the FHLB of San Francisco, at no cost, comprised of two $5.0 million tranches, maturing on November 9, 2020 and May 7, 2021, respectively. Additionally, the Bank classifies its securities portfolio as available-for-sale, providing an additional source of liquidity. Management believes that our security portfolio is of high quality and the securities would therefore be marketable. Additionally, as of September 30, 2020, the Bank was approved to utilize the PPPLF. The Bank may utilize the PPPLF pursuant to which the Bank will pledge PPP loans at face value as collateral to obtain FRB non-recourse loans. During the quarter ended and as of September 30, 2020, the Bank did not utilize the PPPLF as it held a substantial cash and cash equivalent position as a result of PPP disbursed funds remaining unused in borrower deposit accounts and due to deposit clients increasing their balances due to COVID-19.

We use our sources of funds primarily to meet our ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits and fund withdrawals, and to fund loan commitments. Loan commitments and letters of credit in the aggregate totaled $107.4 million and $128.9 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Time deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 2020, totaled $202.7 million. It is management's policy to manage deposit rates that are competitive with other local financial institutions. Based on this management strategy, we believe that most of our maturing certificates of deposit will remain with us.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $6.2 million, compared to $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $132.0 million, which consisted primarily of net change in loans receivable and interest bearing deposits in banks, compared to $33.5 million of cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $150.3 million, which was comprised primarily of net change in deposits and an increase in long-term borrowings resulting from the issuance of the Notes, compared to $25.4 million of net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. At September 30, 2020, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had liquid assets of $55.9 million. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared, if any, to its shareholders, funds paid for Company stock repurchases, and payments on trust-preferred securities and subordinated notes held at the Company level. The Company has the ability to receive dividends or capital distributions from the Bank, although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends.

The Bank, as a state-chartered, federally insured savings bank, and member of the Federal Reserve is subject to the capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve requires the Bank to maintain capital adequacy that generally parallels the FDIC requirements. The capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by

Table of Contents

regulation that require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital. The FDIC requires the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of Total Capital, Tier 1 Capital, and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets as well as Tier 1 Leverage Capital to average assets. Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy is for the Bank to maintain “well-capitalized” status under the Federal Reserve regulations. Based on capital levels at September 30, 2020, the Bank was considered to be well-capitalized.

The table below shows the capital ratios under the Basel III capital framework as of the dates indicated:

Minimum regulatory requirement		130,180	8.00	%		120,153	8.00	%

In addition to the minimum capital ratios, the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum capital levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, repurchasing shares, and paying discretionary bonuses. At September 30, 2020, the Bank’s CET1 capital exceeded the required capital conservation buffer.

As a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve, the Company is subject to the capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve. For a bank holding company with less than $3.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines

Table of Contents

apply on a bank only basis, and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company’s subsidiary bank to be well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If the Company were subject to regulatory capital guidelines for bank holding companies with $3.0 billion or more in assets at September 30, 2020, the Company would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage clients’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, lines of credit and standby letters of credit.

For information about our loan commitments, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit, see Note 16 - Commitment and Contingencies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1 - Financial Statements” within this report.

We have not engaged in any other off-balance sheet transactions in the normal course of our lending activities.

Non-GAAP financial measures

This report contains certain financial information by methods other than GAAP. These measures include allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans, excluding PCI loans, acquired loans and PPP loans. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in its analysis of the Company’s performance and in making business decisions. Management believes that presenting allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans excluding PCI, acquired loans and PPP loans is useful in assessing the credit quality of the Company’s core portfolio. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other peer financial institutions.

Reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are presented as of the dates indicated:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk through our lending and deposit gathering activities. Our results of operations are highly dependent upon our ability to manage interest rate risk. We consider interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Interest rate risk is measured and assessed on a quarterly basis. For information regarding the Company’s market risk, see “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market and Interest Rate Risk,” in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report. In our opinion, there has not been a material change in our interest rate risk exposure since the information disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) was carried out as of September 30, 2020 under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and several other members of the Company’s senior management. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

The Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that based on their evaluation at September 30, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to BayCom Corp’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by override of the control. The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits involving the Company, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which the Company holds security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to the Company’s business. The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceedings that it believes would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In light of recent developments relating to the novel coronavirus of 2019 (“COVID-19”), the Company is supplementing its risk factors contained in Item 1A of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2020. The following risk factor should be read in conjunction with the risk factors described in the 2019 Annual Report.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our ability to conduct business and is expected to adversely impact our financial results and those of our clients. The ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly adversely affected our operations and the way we provide banking services to businesses and individuals, most of whom were under government issued stay-at-home orders since March 2020. As an essential business, we continue to provide banking and financial services to our clients at a majority of our branch locations. In addition, we continue to provide access to banking and financial services through online banking, ATMs and by telephone. If the COVID-19 pandemic worsens it could limit or disrupt our ability to provide banking and financial services to our clients.

Although the stay-at-home orders were lifted in our market areas, a majority of our employees continue to work remotely to enable us to continue to provide banking services to our clients. Heightened cybersecurity, information security and operational risks may result from these remote work-from-home arrangements. We also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to the effects and restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also rely upon our third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide us with these services, it could negatively impact our ability to serve our clients. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will be effective.

There is pervasive uncertainty surrounding the future economic conditions that will emerge in the months and years following the start of the pandemic. As a result, management is confronted with a significant and unfamiliar degree of uncertainty in estimating the impact of the pandemic on credit quality, revenues and asset values. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in declines in loan demand and loan originations, other than through government sponsored programs such as the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), deposit availability, market interest rates and negatively impacted many of our business and consumer borrower’s ability to make their loan payments. Because the length of the pandemic and the efficacy of the extraordinary measures being put in place to address its economic consequences are unknown, including a continued low targeted federal funds rate, until the pandemic subsides, we expect our net interest income and net interest margin will be adversely affected. Many of our borrowers have become unemployed or may face unemployment, and certain businesses are at risk of insolvency as their revenues decline precipitously, especially in businesses related to travel, hospitality, leisure and physical personal services. Businesses may ultimately not reopen as there is a significant level of uncertainty regarding the level of economic activity that will return to our markets over time, the impact of governmental assistance, the speed of economic recovery, the resurgence of COVID-19 in subsequent seasons and changes to demographic and social norms that will take place.

Table of Contents

The impact of the pandemic is expected to continue to adversely affect us during 2020 and possibly longer as the ability of many of our clients to make loan payments has been significantly affected. Although the Company makes estimates of loan losses related to the pandemic as part of its evaluation of the allowance for loan losses, such estimates involve significant judgment and are made in the context of significant uncertainty as to the impact the pandemic will have on the credit quality of our loan portfolio. It is likely that loan delinquencies, adversely classified loans and loan charge-offs will increase in the future as a result of the pandemic. Consistent with guidance provided by banking regulators, we have modified loans by providing various loan payment deferral options to our borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Notwithstanding these modifications, these borrowers may not be able to resume making full payments on their loans once the COVID-19 pandemic is resolved. Any increase in the allowance for credit losses will result in a decrease in net income and, most likely, capital, and may have a material negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

As of September 30, 2020, we hold and service a portfolio of 1,359 PPP loans originated under PPP with a total balance of $140.2 million. The PPP loans are subject to the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (“CARES”) Act and to complex and evolving rules and guidance issued by the SBA and other government agencies. We expect that the vast majority of our PPP borrowers will seek full or partial forgiveness of their loan obligations. We could face additional risks in our administrative capabilities to service our PPP loans and risk with respect to the determination of loan forgiveness depending on the final procedures for determining loan forgiveness.

In accordance with GAAP, we record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value with the excess of the purchase consideration over the net assets acquired resulting in the recognition of goodwill. If adverse economic conditions or the recent decrease in our stock price and market capitalization as a result of the pandemic were to be deemed sustained rather than temporary, it may significantly affect the fair value of our goodwill and may trigger impairment charges. Any impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy will likely require some time to recover from its effects, the length of which is unknown. and during which we may experience a recession. As a result, we anticipate our business may be materially and adversely affected during this recovery. To the extent the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impact our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Stock Repurchases. On March 11, 2020, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 618,000 shares, or approximately 5% of the Company's outstanding common shares. The following table sets forth information with respect to our repurchases of our outstanding common shares during the three months ended September 30, 2020:

Table of Contents

During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company purchased 58,648 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average cost of $11.66 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company purchased 739,151 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average cost of $14.53 per share. As of September 30, 2020, a total of 586,016 shares or 95 percent of the shares authorized in the March 2020 stock repurchase plan have been purchased at an average cost of $12.57 per share, leaving 31,984 shares available for future purchases.

On October 29, 2020, the Company announced that the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to five percent of the Company’s common stock, or approximately 590,000 shares. The Company will purchase the shares from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions over a one-year period depending on market conditions, the capital requirements of the Corporation, and available cash that can be allocated to the stock repurchase program, among other considerations commencing October 30, 2020. The October 2020 stock repurchase plan will become effective once the Company has completed the March 2020 stock repurchase plan by purchasing the remaining 31,894 shares available under the March 2020 plan. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under our stock repurchase programs will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified in any Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. The stock repurchase plans do not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares in any period, and may be expanded, extended, modified or discontinued at any time.
