EXPLANATORY NOTE REGARDING RESTATEMENT

BayCom, a California corporation, is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022 (“Amended Report”) to reflect a restatement of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for that period filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 16, 2022 (the “Original Report”).

Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

On July 18, 2023, the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the interim period ended March 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022, as well as for the interim periods included in that fiscal year, should no longer be relied upon because of errors related to the accounting for unrealized losses on preferred equity securities that resulted in material misstatements of noninterest income and accumulated other comprehensive income.

At the time of its purchase of the preferred equity securities for investment purposes, the Company inappropriately accounted for them as available for sale debt securities under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320 – Investments-Debt Securities. As such, the changes in the fair value of these securities were not recorded as part of net income but rather as a component of shareholders’ equity (in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax). However, as a result of subsequent research and third-party consultation, the Company determined that the securities should instead have been accounted for under ASC Topic 321 – Investments-Equity Securities. The result of this change in classification of the preferred equity securities is that the change in the fair value of the securities each quarter should have been recorded in noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income.

As disclosed in the Original Report, the Company recorded the change, net of taxes, in the fair value of preferred equity securities totaling $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as part of Other Comprehensive loss, net of taxes, under ASC Topic 320 – Investments-Debt Securities rather than as part of non-interest income under ASC Topic 321 – Investments-Equity Securities. For additional information on the restatement, see Note 3 Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Amended Report.

Items Amended in this Filing

We are filing this Amended Report in order to amend the following items of the Original Report to the extent necessary to reflect the adjustments discussed above and make corresponding revisions to the financial data appearing elsewhere in the Original Report:

●	Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements

●	Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

●	Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Except as indicated above, no other information in the Original Report is amended hereby. In order to preserve the nature and character of the disclosures set forth in the Original Report, except as expressly noted above, this Amended Report speaks as of the date of the filing of the Original Report, and we have not updated the disclosures in this Amended Report to speak as of a later date. All information contained in this Amended Report is subject to updating and supplementing as provided in filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing date of the Original Report. Accordingly, this Amended Report should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing date of the Original Report

Control Considerations

In connection with the above, our management has reassessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, and we have included applicable disclosure in Part I, Item 4 herein, “Controls and Procedures.” Management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as described in Part I, Item 4 of this Amended Report, resulting in the conclusion by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022. Management has taken steps, and is continuing to take steps, to remediate this material weakness, as described under “Remediation Plan and Status” in Part I, Item 4 of this Amended Report.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

(unaudited)

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 17 years of operation, the Bank has grown to 34 full-service banking branches with 16 locations in California, two in Washington, five in Central New Mexico and 11 in Colorado. 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 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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 Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“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 February 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Pacific Enterprise Bancorp (“PEB”) and its wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Enterprise Bank, headquartered in Irvine, California (“PEB Merger”). See “Note 4 – Acquisitions” for additional information on the PEB Merger.

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

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in November 2018, ASU No. 2018-19, April 2019, ASU 2019-04, May 2019, ASU 2019-05, November 2019, ASU 2019-11, February 2020, ASU 2020-02, and March 2020, ASU 2020-03, 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 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 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. In January 2021, ASU 2021-01 updated amendments in the new ASU to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. Amendments in this ASU to the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this ASU on a full retrospective basis. The amendments in this ASU have differing effective dates, beginning with an interim period including and subsequent to 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.

In March 2022 the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for loans modified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDR loans”) by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, the ASU requires public business entities to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, upon the Corporation’s adoption of the amendments in ASU 2016-13, which is commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss methodology.

NOTE 3 – RESTATEMENT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On July 18, 2023, the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2023 and the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, as well as for the unaudited interim periods included in that fiscal year, should no longer be relied upon because of errors related to the accounting for unrealized losses on preferred equity securities that resulted in material misstatements of noninterest income and accumulated other comprehensive income.

In addition to the below, various footnotes reflect the effects of these restatements including, but not limited to, Note 4, Acquisitions and Note 5, Investment Securities.

The tables below show the effects of the restatement on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of income, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 (in thousands, except for per share data):

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued)

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

(unaudited)

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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded no charge-offs related to TDR loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no TDR loans for which there was a payment default within the first 12 months of the modification. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, TDR loans had a related allowance of $878,000 and $31,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $794,000 and $805,000, respectively, of TDR loans were performing in accordance with their modified terms. All TDR loans are also included in the loans individually evaluated for impairment as part of the calculation of the allowance for loan losses. There were no commitments to lend additional amounts to borrowers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDR loans at March 31, 2022.

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.

restructured as a TDR during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and seven smaller loans, and the $2.2 million of loans less than 30 days past due are comprised of 11 loans. All of these loans were placed on nonaccrual due to concerns over the financial condition of the borrowers. There was one loan totaling $117,000 that was 90 days or more past due and still accruing at March 31, 2022, compared to no loans at December 31, 2021. Interest foregone on nonaccrual loans was approximately $84,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $88,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans

In connection with the Company's acquisitions, the contractual amount and timing of undiscounted principal and interest payments and the estimated amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal and interest payments were used to estimate the fair value of PCI loans at the acquisition date. The difference between these two amounts represented the nonaccretable difference. On the acquisition date, the amount by which the undiscounted expected cash flows exceed the estimated fair value of the acquired loans is the “accretable yield”. The accretable yield is then measured at each financial reporting date and represented the difference between the remaining undiscounted expected cash flows and the current carrying value of the loans. For PCI loans the accretable yield is accreted into interest income over the life of the estimated remaining cash flows. At each financial reporting date, the carrying value of each PCI loan is compared to an updated estimate of expected principal payment or recovery on each loan. To the extent that the loan carrying amount exceeds the updated expected principal payment or recovery, a provision of loan loss would be recorded as a charge to income and an allowance for loan loss established.

The unpaid principal balance and carrying value of the Company’s PCI loans at the dates indicated are as follows:

NOTE 9 – LEASES

The Company leases 19 branches 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.

The below maturity schedule represents the undiscounted lease payments for the five-year period and thereafter as of March 31, 2022:

NOTE 10 – 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. Goodwill and other intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 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.

Goodwill

The Company’s policy is to assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or between annual assessments if a triggering event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill.

Changes in the Company's goodwill at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2022		2021

NOTE 16 – EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

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 March 31, 2022, a total of 95,381 shares were 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, total compensation expense for these plans was $324,000 and $413,000, respectively.

As of March 31, 2022, there was $1.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested shares granted as restricted stock awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately three years.

The following table provides the restricted stock grant activity for the periods indicated:

NOTE 17 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value including a three-level valuation hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date reflecting assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. The hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Observable prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities; prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; directly observable market inputs for substantially the full term of the asset and liability; market inputs that are not directly observable but are derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

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

We use fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, primarily securities available-for-sale. For assets measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the fair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period and such measurements are therefore considered “nonrecurring” for purposes of disclosing our fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for impaired loans and other real estate owned and also to record impairment on certain assets, such as goodwill, core deposit intangible, and other long-lived assets.

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 2022 or 2021.

The following assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

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 19 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lending and Letter of Credit Commitments

We operate in a highly regulated environment. From time to time we are a party to various claims and litigation matters incidental to the conduct of our business. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings where we believe the resolution would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Nevertheless, given the nature, scope and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to our business (including laws and regulations governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security and anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws), we, like all banking organizations, are subject to heightened legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk.

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. The Company also issues standby letter of credit commitments, primarily for the third-party performance obligations of clients.

The following table presents a summary of commitments described above as of the dates indicated:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2022		2021
Commitments to extend credit	$	86,292	$	100,686
Standby letters of credit		2,762		3,453
Total commitments	$	89,054	$	104,139

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 $315,000 at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Commercial Real Estate Concentrations

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 investments in LIHTC partnerships and an SBIC fund. At March 31, 2022, the remaining commitments to the LIHTC partnerships and the SBIC fund were approximately $3.2 million and $122,000, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the remaining commitments to the LIHTC partnerships and the SBIC fund were $2.3 million and $122,000, respectively.

Deposits

At March 31, 2022, approximately $265.9 million, or 11.4%, of the Company's deposits were derived from its top ten depositors. At December 31, 2021, approximately $198.6 million, or 10.0%, 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. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the FHLB issued letters of credit on behalf of the Company totaling $42.0 million as collateral for local agency deposits.

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. 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. Since 2010, we have expanded our geographic footprint through 10 strategic acquisitions. 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 metropolitan and community markets in which we operate currently provide meaningful opportunities to expand our commercial client base and increase both interest-earning assets and market share. We believe our geographic footprint, which now includes the San Francisco Bay area, the metropolitan markets of Los Angeles, California, Seattle, Washington, and Denver, Colorado, and community markets including Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Custer, Delta, and Grand counties, 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. At March 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $2.8 billion in total assets, $2.0 billion in total loans, $2.3 billion in total deposits and $324.7 million in shareholders’ equity.

We continue to focus on growing our commercial loan portfolios through acquisitions as well as organic growth. At March 31, 2022, our $2.0 billion total loan portfolio included $349.8 million or 17.5%, of acquired loans (all of which were recorded to their estimated fair values at the time of acquisition), and the remaining $1.7 billion, or 82.5%, consisted of loans we originated.

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. Our net income is also affected by other factors, including the provision for credit losses on loans, noninterest income and noninterest expense.

On February 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Pacific Enterprise Bancorp (“PEB”), which was headquartered in Irvine, California. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 7, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between BayCom and PEB. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, PEB merged with and into BayCom (the “Merger”), with BayCom as the surviving corporation in the Merger. Immediately following the Merger, Pacific Enterprise Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PEB, merged with and into United Business Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BayCom (the “Bank Merger”), with United Business Bank as the surviving bank in the Bank Merger. For additional information regarding the Merger, see “Note 4 – Acquisitions” contained in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Information” of Part I this report.

Set forth below is a discussion of the primary factors affecting 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

Table of Contents

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. In March 2022, in response to inflation, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) commenced increasing the target range for the federal funds rate by implementing a 25 basis point increase to a range of 0.25% to 0.50%. In May 2022, the FOMC implemented a 50 basis point increase to a range of 0.75% to 1.00%. The FOMC has indicated further increases are to be expected this year. This recent March increase, however, had limited impact on the current quarter’s net interest margin as the change in rate occurred towards the end of the quarter.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income consists of, among other things: (i) service charges on loans and deposits; (ii) gain on sale of loans; (iii) gain (loss) on equity securities; and (iv) other noninterest income. Gain on sale of loans includes income (or losses) from the sale of the guaranteed portion of 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) other general and administrative expenses, including amortization of intangible assets. 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

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The JOBS Act permits us an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period, which means that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q report, as well as any financial statements that we file in the future, will not be subject to all new or revised accounting standards generally applicable to public companies for the transition period for so long as we remain an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act. 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

Table of Contents

loan loss experience relative to our loan portfolio concentrations related to industry, collateral and geography. Additional analysis was also completed on the allowance for loan losses based on the significance of loan modifications in accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 or CARES Act and regulatory guidance, loan risk rating downgrades as well as additional risk factors related to COVID-19. Our evaluation of the allowance for loan losses 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 losses 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. 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 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 Accounting Standards Codification (“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 increase in cash flow over those expected at purchase date in excess of fair value is 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

Table of Contents

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. Goodwill, which has resulted from a number of our acquisitions, is reviewed for impairment annually, or between annual assessments if a triggering event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not result in the fair value of a reporting unit being below its carrying amount. We make a qualitative assessment whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit where goodwill is assigned is less than its carrying amount. 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. As of December 31, 2021, the Company concluded that the goodwill of the Company’s reporting unit, the Bank, is not more likely than not to be impaired.

BayCom’s Response to COVID-19

The Company maintains its commitment to supporting its community and clients during the COVID-19 pandemic and remains focused on keeping its employees safe and the Bank running effectively to serve its clients. As of March 31, 2022, all Bank branches were open with normal hours and substantially all employees had returned to their normal working environments. The Bank will continue to monitor branch access and occupancy levels in relation to cases and close contact scenarios and follow governmental restrictions and public health authority guidelines.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021

Total assets. Total assets increased $405.3 million, or 17.2%, to $2.8 billion at March 31, 2022, from $2.4 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase primarily was due to loans receivable, net, increasing $339.0 million, primarily due to loans acquired in the PEB Merger. In addition, cash and cash equivalents increased $47.5 million or 12.5%, investment securities available for sale increased $10.2 million or 5.9% and other assets increased $9.3 million or 31.1%.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $47.5 million, or 12.5%, to $427.2 million, at March 31, 2022, from $379.7 million at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily a result of loan repayments and an increase in total deposits, which exceeded the funds required for loan originations and used for purchases of investment securities.

Investment securities available for sale. Investment debt securities available-for-sale increased $12.3 million, or 7.9%, to $168.0 million at March 31, 2022 from $155.7 million at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due the purchase of $22.7 million of investment securities, partially offset by the routine amortization and repayment of investment principal balances and securities called and matured during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Equity securities. Equity securities decreased $2.1 million, or 11.1% to $16.7 million at March 31, 2022 from $18.8 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to $2.1 million mark-to-market downward adjustment recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

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 $339.0 million, or 20.6%, to $2.0 billion at March 31, 2022 from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to $412.9 million of net loans acquired from PEB and $81.6 million of new loan originations, partially offset by $143.3 million of loan repayments, including $51.6 million in PPP loan repayments, and $10.9 million in loan sales.

Includes loans located primarily in the states of Colorado, New Mexico and Washington. At March 31, 2022, loans in Colorado, New Mexico and Washington totaled $103.6 million, $61.7 million and $85.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, loans in Colorado, New Mexico and Washington totaled $123.2 million, $69.5 million and $86.6 million, respectively.

Nonperforming assets and nonaccrual loans. Nonperforming assets consists of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans that are 90 days or more past due and other real estate owned (“OREO”). Nonperforming assets increased $5.7 million, or 82.0%, to $12.6 million at March 31, 2022 from $6.9 million at December 31, 2021, primarily due to a $5.5 million increase in nonaccrual loans and $117,000 increase in accruing loans 90 days and more past due. The increase in nonaccrual loans was primarily due to one $4.9 million commercial and industrial loan which was restructured and placed on non-accrual during the current quarter. The Company had nonperforming loans, consisting of nonaccrual loans and accruing loans that are 90 days or more past due, totaling 62% of total loans, of which $800,000 were guaranteed by governmental agencies at March 31, 2022, compared to $6.9 million or 0.41% of total loans, of which $822,000 were SBA guaranteed at December 31, 2021. Included in nonperforming loans at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, were $6.4 million and $1.6, respectively, of TDR loans. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, nonaccrual loans included $5.6 million and $6.9 million of loans 30-89 days past due and $2.2 million and $2.5 million of loans less than 30 days past due, respectively. At March 31, 2022, nonaccrual loans 30-89 days past due of $5.6 million primarily was comprised of one $4.9 million commercial and industrial loan restructured as a TDR during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and seven smaller loans, and the $2.2 million of loans less than 30 days past due are comprised of two loans. All of these loans were placed on nonaccrual due to concerns over the financial condition of the borrowers. There was one loan totaling $117,000 that was 90 days or more past due and still accruing at March 31, 2022, compared to no loans at December 31, 2021.

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 will remain on accrual status.

Purchased 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

Table of Contents

payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the non-accretable 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 restructured loans, or TDR loans, 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. TDR loans as of March 31, 2022 totaled $7.2 million, of which $794,000 were accruing and performing according to their restructuring terms. TDR loans as of December 31, 2021 totaled $2.4 million, of which $805,000 were accruing and performing according to their restructuring terms. The accruing TDR loans are not considered nonperforming assets as they continue to accrue interest despite being considered impaired due to the restructured status. The related allowance for loan losses on TDR loans totaled of $878,000 and $31,000 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company provided payment and financial relief programs for borrowers impacted by COVID-19. All loans modified due to COVID-19 were separately monitored and any request for continuation of relief beyond the initial modification was reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating was appropriate. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had two commercial real estate loans totaling $2.7 million operating under forbearance agreements due to COVID-19. Since these loans were performing loans that were current on their payments prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, these modifications are not considered to be TDRs at March 31, 2022, pursuant to applicable accounting and regulatory guidance.

Loans under ASC Topic 310-30 are considered performing and are not included in nonperforming assets in the table above. At March 31, 2022 we had $117,000 and no credit impaired loans under ASC Topic 310-30 that were 90 days past due and still accruing compared to none at December 31, 2021.

Interest foregone on nonaccrual loans was approximately $84,600 and $88,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively, none of which was included in interest income.

Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained to cover losses that are estimated in accordance with GAAP. It is our estimate of loan losses inherent in our loan portfolio at each balance sheet date. Our methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of general and specific components. For the general component, we stratify the loan portfolio into homogeneous groups of loans that possess similar loss potential characteristics and apply a loss ratio to these groups of loans to estimate the credit losses in the loan portfolio. We use both historical loss ratios and qualitative loss factors assigned to major loan collateral types to establish general component loss allocations. Qualitative loss factors are based on management’s judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data and external economic indicators, which may not yet be reflected in the historical loss ratios, and that could impact our specific loan portfolios. Management and the Board of Directors sets and adjusts qualitative loss factors by regularly reviewing changes in underlying loan composition and the seasonality of specific portfolios. Management and the Board of Directors also considers credit quality and trends relating to delinquency, nonperforming and classified loans within our loan portfolio when evaluating qualitative loss factors. Additionally, management and the Board of Directors adjusts qualitative factors to account for the potential impact of external economic factors, including the unemployment rate, vacancy, capitalization rates, commodity prices and other pertinent economic data specific to our primary market area and lending portfolios.

For the specific component, the allowance for loan losses is established for impaired loans. Management evaluates current information and events regarding a borrower’s ability to repay its obligations and considers a loan to be impaired when the ultimate collectability of amounts due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, is in doubt. If an impaired loan is collateral-dependent, the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated cost to sell, is used to determine the amount of impairment. If an impaired loan is not collateral-dependent, the impairment amount is determined using the negative difference, if any, between the estimated discounted cash flows and the loan amount due. For impaired loans, the amount of the impairment can be adjusted, based on current data, until such time as the actual basis is established by acquisition of the collateral or until the basis is collected. Impairment losses are reflected in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the provision for credit losses. Subsequent recoveries are credited to the allowance for loan losses. Cash receipts for accruing loans are applied to principal and interest under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Cash receipts on impaired loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are applied first to principal.

At March 31, 2022, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was $17.7 million, or 0.88% of total loans, compared to $17.7 million, or 1.06% of total loans, at December 31, 2021. Based on our review of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $7,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to none for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decline in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding was due to our acquisition of loans in the PEB Merger and related acquisition accounting on those loans. As discussed in more detail below, acquired loans are recorded at their estimated fair value at acquisition and no allowance for loan losses is recorded on the acquired loans. We recorded net charge-offs of $7,000 for the first quarter of 2022 compared to no charge-offs in the same quarter in 2021. The calculation of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 excludes the balance of PPP loans held in portfolio as of those dates as PPP 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.

In accordance with acquisition accounting, loans acquired from acquisitions were recorded at their estimated fair value, which resulted in a net discount to the loans contractual amounts. 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. However, the allowance for loan loss includes an estimate for credit deterioration of acquired loans that occurs after the date of acquisition, which is included in the loan loss provision in the period that the deterioration occurred. The discount recorded on the acquired loans is not reflected in the allowance for loan losses or related allowance coverage ratios. As

Table of Contents

of March 31, 2022, acquired loans net of their discount, totaled $349.8 million and the remaining net discount on these acquired loans was $603,000, compared to $51.3 million of acquired loans and $2.1 million of net discounts at December 31, 2021. The net discount includes a credit discount based on estimated losses in the acquired loans partially offset a premium, if any, based market interest rates on the date of acquisition. The decrease in the net discount on acquired loans from December 31, 2021 was due to a net premium on the PEB loans given the higher yielding portfolio compared to current market interest rates.

As part of the acquisition of PEB, the Company acquired loans under various state guarantee programs which PEB was a participant. PEB was approved by, and the Company has been approved by the California Pollution Control Financing Authority ("CalCAP") to originate loans to qualified small businesses. Under the program, the borrower, CalCAP and the Company contribute funds to a loss reserve account that is held in a demand deposit account at the Company. Losses on qualified loans will be charged to this account after approval by CalCAP. The funds are the property of CalCAP, however, in the event that the Company leaves the program any excess funds, after all loans have been repaid or unenrolled from the program by the Company and there are no pending claims for reimbursement, will be distributed to CalCAP and the Company based on their contributions to the program. The borrower contributions are included in the Company share. The Company opted out of this CalCAP Small Business loan program in 2017. Funds contributed by the Company to the reserve account are treated as a receivable from CalCAP, and evaluated for impairment. The Company had a receivable from CalCAP of $4,023,000 as of March 31, 2022. The Company had a loss reserve account of $14,723,000 as of March 31, 2022.

In addition, the Company has been approved by the CalCAP in partnership with the California Air Resources Board, to originate loans to California truckers in the On-Road Heavy-Duty Vehicle Air Quality Loan Program. Under the program, the CalCAP solely contributes funds to a loss reserve account that is held in a demand deposit account at the Company. Losses are handled in the same manner as noted above. The funds are the property of CalCAP and are payable upon termination of the program. When the loss reserve account balance exceeds the total associated loan balance, the excess is to be remitted to the CalCAP. The Company had a loss reserve account of $5,925,000 as of March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company identified $13.4 million in impaired loans, inclusive of $12.6 million of nonperforming loans and $753,000 of accruing TDR loans. Of these impaired loans, only $5.9 million had a specific allowance of $1.5 million as of March 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the Company identified $7.7 million in impaired loans, inclusive of $6.9 million of nonperforming loans and $765,000 of performing (accruing) TDR loans. Of these impaired loans, only $1.1 million had a specific allowance of $931,000 as of December 31, 2021.

Management considers the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2022 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. Uncertainties relating to our allowance for loan losses remain heightened as a result of the risks surrounding the lingering effects of COVID-19. A further decline in national and local economic conditions, as a result of the COVID-19 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.

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 $345.2 million, or 17.4%, to $2.3 billion at March 31, 2022 from $2.0 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase in deposits from the prior quarter is primarily attributable to the $376.7 million of deposits acquired from PEB. At March 31, 2022, noninterest bearing demand deposits totaled $783.1 million or 33.6% of total deposits, compared to $710.1 million or 35.8% of total deposits at December 31, 2021

Borrowings. Although deposits are our primary source of funds, 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. The eleven regional Federal Home Loan Banks provide a central credit facility for their member institutions. 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had the ability to borrow up to $454.4 million and $483.1 million, respectively, from the FHLB of San Francisco. In addition to the availability of liquidity from the FHLB of San Francisco, the Bank maintained a short-term borrowing line of credit with the FRB of San Francisco, with available credit capacity of $114.6 million and $135.6 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, based on loans that qualify as collateral for the FRB line of credit. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no FRB borrowings outstanding. At both March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had no FHLB advances outstanding.

If needed, we may also utilize Fed Funds purchased from correspondent banks as a source of short-term funding. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had a total of $65.0 million in federal funds line available from third-party financial institutions, and no balances outstanding at these dates.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding junior subordinated debt, net of market-to-market, related to junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures assumed in connection with its previous acquisitions totaling $8.4 million compared to $8.3 million at March 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding subordinated debt, net of costs to issue, totaling $63.6 million compared to $63.5 million at December 31, 2021.

We are required to provide collateral for certain local agency deposits. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the FHLB of San Francisco had issued a letters of credit on behalf of the Bank totaling $42.0 million as collateral for local agency deposits.

Shareholders’ equity. Shareholders’ equity increased $62.5 million, to $324.7 million at March 31, 2022 from $262.6 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to issuance of stock related to our acquisition of PEB and net income, partially offset by the repurchase of $1.3 million of common stock and $685,000 of accrued cash dividends payable. In addition, shareholder’s equity was adversely impacted by a $5.7 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting in a total comprehensive loss of $464,000 due to an increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities reflecting the increase in market interest rates during the current quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 57,177 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $1.3 million, or $22.18 per share, leaving 685,355 shares available for future purchases under the current stock repurchase plan. 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 Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Earnings summary. Net income was $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $697,000 or 15.4%. The increase was the result of a $4.3 million increase in net interest income and a $394,000 increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a $4.2 million increase in noninterest expense. Diluted earnings per share were $0.41 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $0.01 from diluted earnings per share of $0.40 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Our efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income before provision for loan losses and noninterest income, was 73.33% and 69.31% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The higher efficiency ratio during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was due to higher noninterest expenses.

Interest income. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $24.8 million, compared to $20.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $4.5 million or 22.4%. The increase in interest income between the periods reflects increases in interest income on loans and, to a lesser extent, investment securities due to increases in the average balances of these portfolios, partially offset by lower recognition of deferred loan fee income from SBA loan forgiveness related to PPP loans.

Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $3.7 million, or 19.5%, to $22.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to $275.8 million increase in average loan balance, as well as the higher average yield earned on loans. The average yield on loans, including the accretion of the net discount and deferred PPP loan fees recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 4.89%, compared to 4.79% for the same period in 2021. Interest income on loans for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 included $1.3 million and $675,000, respectively, in accretion of the net discount on acquired loans and revenue from purchase credit impaired loans in excess of discounts. The remaining net discount on these acquired loans was $603,000 and $2.7 million at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included $1.3 million in fees earned related to PPP loans compared to $1.2 million during the same period in 2021. As of March 31, 2022, total unrecognized fees on PPP loans were $735,000. Interest income on loans for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, included $235,000 and $562,000, respectively, in fees related to prepayment penalties.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, average PPP loans were $108.8 million and the average yield, including fees, was 5.89%. 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 will cease completely after the maturity of the loans. Approximately two-thirds of the PPP loans are set to mature by the end of 2022, while the remaining loans have a five-year maturity date.

Interest income on investment securities and interest-bearing deposits in banks increased $740,000, or 85.3% to $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $868,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due a $68.1 million increase in the average balance of investment securities, as well as a higher average yield earned on investment securities. The average yield on investment securities increased 43 basis point to 3.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2.72% for the same period prior year.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $264,000, or 12.1%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was due to the $293.7 million increase in the average balance of deposits. Total average interest bearing liabilities increased $289.0 million, or 23.0%, to $1.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased by seven basis points to 0.64% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 0.71% for the same period prior year.

Interest expense on deposits increased $264,000, or 24.9%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to increases in the average balance in all interest bearing deposit categories. The average balance of deposits totaled $2.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.9 billion for the same quarter a year ago, respectively. The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased by one basis point to 0.41% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from 0.42% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The overall average cost of deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2022, increased to 0.27%, compared to 0.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The average balance of noninterest bearing deposits increased $61.9 million, or 8.51%, to $789.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $727.4 million for the same period in 2021.

Interest expense on borrowings was $982,000 for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, due to decreases in borrowings outstanding offset by increases in the average cost of borrowings. The average balance of borrowings outstanding decreased $4.8 million to $72.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $76.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The average cost of borrowing increased to 5.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 5.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Net interest income and net interest margin. Net interest income increased $4.3 million, or 23.6%, to $22.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in net interest income primarily was due to increases in interest income on loans and, to a lesser extent, investment securities due to increases in the average balances of these portfolios, partially offset by lower recognition of deferred loan fee income from SBA loan forgiveness related to PPP loans.

The average yield on interest earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 4.03%, a 12 basis point increase from 3.91% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to higher market interest rates, while the average cost of interest bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased to 0.64%, or seven basis points from 0.71% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The annualized net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 3.63%, compared to 3.49% for first quarter of 2021. The comparable quarter over quarter increase in net interest margin primarily reflects an improved mix of interest-bearing assets, including increased balances of higher yielding loans and investment securities available for sale. During the quarter, the recognition of deferred loan fees related to PPP loans and accretion on acquired loans, also had a positive impact on the net interest margin. PPP loans are originated at an interest rate of 1%, although the effective yield is higher as a result of the origination fees paid to us by the SBA. The average yield on PPP loans was 5.89%, including the recognition of deferred fees, resulting in a positive impact to the net interest margin of eight basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 4.51% with a positive impact of three basis points during the comparable periods in 2021. The impact of PPP loans on net interest margin will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments or amounts forgiven by the SBA as certain criteria are net, but will cease completely after the maturity of the loans. 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 21 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 17 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields/Cost. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, information about (i) average balances, the total dollar amount of interest income from interest earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) average balances, the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest bearing liabilities and the resultant average yields; (iii) net interest income; (iv) the interest rate spread; and (v) the net interest margin. Yields have been calculated on a pre-tax basis.

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 $7,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to no provision for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The provision for loan losses recorded in the first quarter March 31, 2022 related primarily to new loan production. We had net charge-offs on loans of $7,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to zero net charge-offs on loans for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income increased $394,000, or 17.6%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in noninterest income primarily was due to the $1.6 million bargain purchase gain related to the PEB Merger and a $561,000 increase in gain on sale of loans due to an increase in the volume of loans sold, partially offset by $2.1 million mark-to-market downward adjustment for equity securities, net, and $66,000 decrease in income from our investment in a SBIC fund. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company sold $10.9 million of SBA loans (guaranteed portion), resulting in a gain on sale of $1.1 million, compared to the sale of $6.8 million of SBA loans (guaranteed portion) resulting in a gain on sale of $643,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 included $3.1 million of nonrecurring acquisition-related expenses related to the PEB Merger, which were comprised of $555,000 in salary and employee benefits, $1.1 million in data processing expenses, $725,000 in professional and legal fees, $375,000 in occupancy and equipment expense and $347,000 in other expenses.

Excluding acquisition-related expenses for each of the periods, noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 increased $1.2 million, or 8.2%, compared to the same quarter a year ago primarily due to an $870,000 increase in salary and employee benefits as a result of normal year end salary increases and an increase in the number of full time equivalent employees, a $236,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense and a $340,000 increase in other noninterest expense, partially offset by a $284,000 decrease in data processing expense.

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


	Three months ended March 31,
	2022		2021		$ Change		% Change

	(Dollars in thousands)
Salaries and employee benefits	$	10,310	$	8,885	$	1,425	16.0	%

Total noninterest expense	$	18,321	$	14,085	$	4,236	30.1	%

Income taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased $277,000, or 16.3%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company’s effective tax rate was 21.4% for three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 27.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The effective tax rate was lower for the first quarter of 2022 compared same quarter a year ago primarily due to the non-taxable bargain purchase gain in the current quarter.

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

Table of Contents

interest payments on loans and proceeds from sale of loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Bank sold $10.9 million in loans and loan participation interests and received $129.4 million in principal loan repayments.

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.

Recently, the Bank’s liquidity has been positively impacted by an increase in deposit levels. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, deposits increased by $345.2 million due to the closing of the PEB Merger. As a result, our liquid assets in the form of cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits in banks, and investment securities increased to $615.2 million at March 31, 2022 from $557.7 million at December 31, 2021. Management believes that our security portfolio is of high quality and the securities would therefore be marketable. Securities purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2022, totaled $22.7 million and securities repayments, maturities and sales in the period were $2.5 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2022, totaled $241.1 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.

In addition to these primary sources of funds, management has several secondary sources available to meet potential funding requirements. As of March 31, 2022, the Bank had an available borrowing capacity of $454.4 million with the FHLB of San Francisco and $114.6 million with the FRB of San Francisco, with no borrowings outstanding at that date. Federal Funds lines with available commitments totaling $65.0 million with four correspondent banks. There were no amounts outstanding under these facilities at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Subject to market conditions, we expect to utilize these borrowing facilities from time to time in the future to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments, repay maturing debt and to take advantage of investment opportunities to the extent feasible.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of the Company’s management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments, such as overnight deposits and federal funds. On a longer-term basis, a strategy is maintained of investing in various lending products and investment securities, including U.S. Government obligations and U.S. agency securities. 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 were $89.1 million, including $3.4 million of undisbursed construction and development loan commitments, at March 31, 2022. For information regarding our commitments, see “Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1. Financial Information” of Part I of this report.

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 three months ended March 31, 2022 was 2.8 million, compared to $651,000 provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash provided by investing activities was $77.5 million, which consisted primarily of net change in loans receivable, compared to $70.4 million of cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $32.8 million, which was comprised primarily of net change in deposits, compared to $87.4 million provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Management believes the capital sources are adequate to meet all reasonably foreseeable short-term and long-term cash requirements and there has not been a material change in our liquidity and capital resources since the information disclosed in our 2021 Annual Form 10-K other than set forth above. We are not aware of any reasonably likely material changes in the mix and relative cost of such resources.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. At March 31, 2022, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had liquid assets of $30.4 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.

In February 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share on the Company’s outstanding common stock, payable on April 15, 2022 to shareholders of record as of the

Table of Contents

close of business on March 11, 2022. The Company expects to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends on its common stock subject to the Board of Director’s discretion to modify or terminate this practice at any time and for any reason without prior notice. Assuming continued payment of the cash dividend at this rate of $0.05 per share, our average total dividend paid each quarter would be approximately $686,000 based on the number of our current outstanding shares (which assumes no increases or decreases in the number of shares, except in connection with the anticipated vesting of currently outstanding equity awards). The dividends, if any, we may pay may be limited as more fully discussed under “Business – Supervision and Regulation – BayCom Corp – Dividends” and “– Regulatory Capital Requirements” contained in “Part I. Item 1. Business” of the 2021 Annual Report.

From time to time, our Board of Directors has authorized stock repurchase plans. In general, stock repurchase plans allow us to proactively manage our capital position and return excess capital to shareholders. Shares purchased under such plans may also provide us with shares of common stock necessary to satisfy obligations related to stock compensation awards. In December 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved its fifth stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to seven percent of the Company’s common stock, or approximately 747,000 shares, of which 685,355 shares remained available for repurchase at March 31, 2022. The repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares. For additional information on the Company’s stock repurchases, see "Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” contained in Part II of this report.

Regulatory Capital

The Bank, as a state-chartered, federally insured commercial bank, and member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is subject to 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 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Bank was considered to be Well Capitalized.

Minimum regulatory requirement		160,788	8.00	%		137,283	8.00	%

In addition to the minimum capital ratios, the Bank has to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional Common Equity Tier 1 capital greater than 2.5% above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. At March 31, 2022, the Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital exceeded the required capital conservation buffer.

For a bank holding company with less than $3.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company’s subsidiary banks to be Well Capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If the Company was subject to regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies with $3.0 billion or more in assets, at March 31, 2022, the Company would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

Business — Supervision and Regulation — United Business Bank — Capital Requirements” and Note 19, “Regulatory Matters” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the 2021 Annual Report.

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 2021 Annual Report. In our opinion, there has not been a material change in our interest rate risk exposure since the information disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) was carried out as of March 31, 2022 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 March 31, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not 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. This conclusion was due to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

At the time of its purchase of the preferred equity securities for investment purposes, the Company inappropriately accounted for them as available for sale debt securities under ASC Topic 320 – Investments-Debt Securities. As such, the changes in the fair value of these securities were not recorded as part of net income but rather as a component of shareholders’ equity (in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax). However, as a result of subsequent research and third-party consultation, the Company determined that the securities should instead have been accounted for under ASC Topic 321 – Investments-Equity Securities. The result of this change in classification of the preferred equity securities is that the change in the fair value of the securities for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 should have been recorded in noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income. The Company determined that this error constituted a “material weakness” in its internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

Remediation Plan and Status

In response to the identified material weakness, our management, with the oversight of the audit committee of our board of directors, has begun to dedicate additional resources, including additional employee training and engagement of third-party expertise, toward improving our internal control over financial reporting. We are also in the process of redesigning and enhancing control activities related to investment security classification and review at the acquisition date.

We believe the measures described above will remediate the material weakness we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to improving our internal control processes and will continue to review, optimize and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures. We may also take additional measures to address control deficiencies or modify certain of the remediation measures described above. This material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes made to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022, 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.
