Risks and Uncertainties [Text Block] | NOTE 9 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES COVID-19 Update The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and as a qualified SBA lender, we were automatically authorized to originate PPP loans. During the 12 months ended June 30, 2021, we originated $70.1 million of loans under the PPP and helped customers receive $122.4 million of forgiveness payments under the terms of the program. The balance of PPP loans outstanding at June 30, 2021 approximates $90.2 million. On December 27, 2020, President Trump signed another COVID-19 relief bill that extended and modified several provisions of the PPP. This included an additional allocation of $284 billion for PPP loans. The SBA reactivated the PPP on January 11, 2021. Middlefield Bank has originated additional PPP loans through the PPP, which was extended through May 31, 2021. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, Middlefield Bank had generated and received SBA approval on 683 PPP loans totaling $67.6 million and received $3.0 million in related deferred PPP fees under the 2021 PPP authorization. As of June 30, 2021, 8 loans aggregating $17.7 million were modified for deferral, compared to 11 loans aggregating $24.5 million at December 31, 2020. Modifications consist of the deferral of principal payments and the extension of the maturity date. Of the loans on deferral as of June 30, 2021, 5 loans are interest-only deferrals aggregating $11.2 million. Since the opening of the PPP, several larger banks have been subject to litigation regarding the process and procedures that those banks used in processing applications for the PPP. Middlefield Bank may be exposed to the risk of similar litigation, from both customers and non-customers that approached the bank regarding PPP loans, regarding the process and procedures used in processing applications for the PPP. If any such litigation is filed against Middlefield Bank and is not resolved in a manner favorable to Middlefield Bank, it may result in significant financial liability or adversely affect Middlefield Bank’s reputation. In addition, litigation can be costly, regardless of outcome. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP-related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Middlefield Bank also has credit risk on PPP loans if a determination is made by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or serviced by Middlefield Bank, such as an issue with the eligibility of a borrower to receive a PPP loan, which may or may not be related to the ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP. In the event of a loss resulting from a default on a PPP loan and a determination by the SBA that there was a deficiency in the manner in which the PPP loan was originated, funded, or serviced by Middlefield Bank, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency from Middlefield Bank. COVID-19 Loan Forbearance Programs. Section 4013 of the CARES Act provides that banks may elect not to categorize a loan modification as a TDR if the loan modification is (1) related to COVID-19; (2) executed on a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (3) executed between March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (A) 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the novel coronavirus disease (COVID–19) outbreak declared by the President on March 13, 2020, under the National Emergencies Act terminates, or (B) December 31, 2020. According to the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised) issued by the federal bank regulatory agencies on April 7, 2020, short-term loan modifications not otherwise eligible under Section 4013 that are made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. See Note 8 of the financial statements for additional disclosure of TDRs at June 30, 2021.
