The words “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “continues” and similar expressions are indicative of forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the Company’s best judgment based on current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and various factors could cause results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

FIRST US BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. | GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First US Bancshares, Inc. (“Bancshares”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Bancshares is the parent holding company of First US Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank operates a finance company subsidiary, Acceptance Loan Company, Inc. (“ALC”). Management has determined that the Bank and ALC comprise Bancshares’ two reportable operating segments. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. While certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Risks and Uncertainties

The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated impacts on trade (including supply chains and export levels), travel, employee productivity and other economic activities have had, are currently having, and may for some time continue to have a destabilizing effect on financial markets and economic activity. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operational and financial performance is currently uncertain, cannot be predicted and will depend on certain developments, including, among others, the duration and spread of COVID-19, its impact on our customers, employees and vendors, and the continued governmental, regulatory and private sector responses, which may be precautionary, to COVID-19.

The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations generally rely upon the ability of the Company’s borrowers to repay their loans, the value of collateral underlying those loans, and demand for loans and other products and services that the Company offers, which are highly dependent on the business environment in the Company’s primary markets and the United States economy as a whole.

In light of the changing economic outlook as a result of COVID-19, as well as other factors, in March 2020, the 10-year Treasury yield was reduced to historic lows, and the equity markets were significantly impacted. In response, the Federal Reserve reduced the target federal funds rate by 50 basis points on March 3, 2020, and then by an additional 100 basis points on March 15, 2020. These reductions in interest rates and other economic uncertainties that have arisen as a result primarily of the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively impacted net interest income, provisions for loan losses and noninterest income. Additional negative financial impacts could occur; however, the ultimate potential impact is not known at this time.

2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Certain significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Reclassification

Certain disclosures in the notes to the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or net cash flow.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (basic shares). Included in basic shares are certain shares that have been accrued as of the balance sheet date as deferred compensation for members of Bancshares’ Board of Directors, as well as shares of restricted stock that have been granted pursuant to Bancshares’ 2013 Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2013 Incentive Plan”) previously approved by Bancshares’ shareholders. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the effect of potentially dilutive stock awards outstanding during the period (dilutive shares). The dilutive shares consist of nonqualified stock option grants issued to employees and members of Bancshares’ Board of Directors pursuant to the 2013 Incentive Plan. The following table reflects weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted net income per share for the periods presented.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income, as well as unrealized holding gains and losses that arise during the period associated with the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio and the effective portion of cash flow hedge derivatives. In the calculation of comprehensive income, reclassification adjustments are made for gains or losses realized in the statement of operations associated with the sale of available-for-sale securities, settlement of derivative contracts or changes in the fair value of cash flow derivatives.

Accounting Policies Recently Adopted

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Emerging Issues Task Force).” Issued in August 2018, ASU 2018-15 aims to reduce complexity in the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The amendments of ASU 2018-15 require an entity to follow the guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 350-40, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software,” in order to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets related to the service contract and which costs to expense. The amendments of ASU 2018-15 also require an entity to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement (i.e., the noncancelable period of the arrangement plus periods covered by (1) an option to extend the arrangement if the entity is reasonably certain to exercise that option, (2) an option to terminate the arrangement if the entity is reasonably certain not to exercise the option and (3) an option to extend (or not to terminate) the arrangement in which exercise of the option is in the control of the vendor). ASU 2018-15 also requires an entity to present the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element (service) of the arrangement, and to classify payments for capitalized implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting element. ASU 2018-15 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

11

ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” Issued in August 2018, the amendments in this ASU remove disclos ure requirements in ASC Topic 820 related to (1) the amount of, and reasons for, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (2) the policy for timing of transfers between levels and (3) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU also modifies disclosure requirements such that (1) for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date that restriction s from redemption might lapse, only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly, and (2) it is clear that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measureme nt as of the reporting date. Additionally, this ASU adds disclosure requirements for public entities about (1) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements he ld at the end of the reporting period, and (2) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 d id not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” Issued in March 2020, ASU 2020-04 seeks to provide guidance, for a limited time, to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 was issued in response to concerns about the structural risks of interbank offered rates, and, specifically, the risk that the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) will no longer be used. Regulators have begun reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction-based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients to U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications, hedge accounting and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. As the guidance in ASU 2020-04 is intended to assist entities during the global market-wide reference rate transition period, it is in effect for a limited time, from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the potential discontinuance of LIBOR, and a determination cannot be made at this time as to the impact that the amendments of ASU 2020-04 or the reference rate reform will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” Issued in December 2019, ASU 2019-12 seeks to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021. Adoption of ASU 2019-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” Issued in January 2017, ASU 2017-04 simplifies the manner in which an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity, prior to the amendments in ASU 2017-04, had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities, including unrecognized assets and liabilities, in accordance with the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. However, under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity should (1) perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and (2) recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, with the understanding that the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, ASU 2017-04 removes the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails such qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As originally issued, ASU 2017-04 was effective prospectively for annual, or any interim, goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. On October 16, 2019, the FASB approved a delay in the implementation of ASU 2017-04 by three years for smaller reporting companies, including the Company. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” Issued in June 2016, ASU 2016-13 removes the thresholds that companies apply to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. Under current U.S. GAAP, companies generally recognize credit losses when it is probable that the loss has been incurred. The revised guidance removes all current recognition thresholds and requires companies to recognize an allowance for lifetime expected credit losses. Credit losses will be immediately recognized through net income; the amount recognized will be based on the current estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected over the financial asset’s contractual term. ASU 2016-13 also amends the credit loss measurement guidance for available-for-sale debt securities. The standard will add new disclosures related to factors that influenced management’s estimate, including current expected credit losses, the changes in those factors and reasons for the changes, as well as the method applied to revert to historical credit loss experience. As originally issued, ASU 2016-13 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and for interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with institutions required to apply the changes through a cumulative-effect adjustment to their retained earnings balance as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. On October 16, 2019, the FASB approved a delay in the implementation of ASU 2016-13 by three years for smaller reporting companies, including the Company. Management has been in the process of developing a revised model to calculate the allowance for loan and lease losses upon implementation of ASU 2016-13 in order to determine the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and, at this time, expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan and lease losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective. The magnitude of any such one-time adjustment is not yet known.

For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been allocated over maturity groupings based on the weighted-average contractual maturities of underlying collateral. The mortgage-backed securities generally mature earlier than their weighted-average contractual maturities because of principal prepayments.

The following tables reflect gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment no less frequently than quarterly and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to: (i) the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost; (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (iii) whether the Company intends to sell the securities; and (iv) whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases.

As of September 30, 2020, 9 debt securities had been in a loss position for more than 12 months, and 8 debt securities had been in a loss position for less than 12 months. As of December 31, 2019, 69 debt securities had been in a loss position for more than 12 months, and 35 debt securities had been in a loss position for less than 12 months. As of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the losses for all securities were considered to be a direct result of the effect that the prevailing interest rate environment had on the value of debt securities and were not related to the creditworthiness of the issuers. There was a substantial decrease in interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, including a 150-basis point reduction in the federal funds rate in March 2020. This resulted in significant increases in the fair value of debt securities and a corresponding decline in the number of securities in a loss position as of September 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019. Most of the securities in an unrealized loss position as of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were residential or commercial mortgage-backed securities that are either direct obligations of the U.S. government or government-sponsored entities and, accordingly, have little associated credit risk. Further, the Company has the current intent and ability to retain its investments in the issuers for a period of time that management believes to be sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Therefore, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairments as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Investment securities with a carrying value of $73.8 million and $51.7 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes.

4. | LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Portfolio Segments

The Company has divided the loan portfolio into eight portfolio segments, each with different risk characteristics described as follows:

Construction, land development and other land loans – Commercial construction, land and land development loans include loans for the development of residential housing projects, loans for the development of commercial and industrial use property, loans for the purchase and improvement of raw land and loans primarily for agricultural production that are secured by farmland. These loans are secured in whole or in part by the underlying real estate collateral and are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrowing entity.

Secured by 1-4 family residential properties – These loans include conventional mortgage loans on one-to-four family residential properties. These properties may serve as the borrower’s primary residence, vacation home or investment property. Also included in this portfolio are home equity loans and lines of credit. This type of lending, which is secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence, allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home.

Secured by multi-family residential properties – This portfolio segment includes mortgage loans secured by apartment buildings.

Secured by non-farm, non-residential properties – This portfolio segment includes real estate loans secured by commercial and industrial properties, office or mixed-use facilities, strip shopping centers or other commercial property. These loans are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrowing entity.

Commercial and industrial loans and leases – This portfolio segment includes loans and leases to commercial customers for use in the normal course of business. These credits may be loans, lines of credit and leases to financially strong borrowers, secured by inventories, equipment or receivables, and are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrowing entity.

Direct consumer – This portfolio segment includes a variety of secured and unsecured personal loans, including automobile loans, loans for household and personal purposes and all other direct consumer installment loans.

15

Branch retail – This portfolio segment includes loans secured by collateral purchased by consumers at ret ail stores with whom ALC has an established relationship through its branch network to provide financing for the retail products sold if applicable underwriting standards are met. The collateral securing these loans generally includes personal property ite ms such as furniture, ATVs and home appliances.

Indirect sales – This portfolio segment includes loans secured by collateral purchased by consumers at retail stores with whom the Company has an established relationship to provide financing for the retail products sold if applicable underwriting standards are met. The collateral securing these loans generally includes recreational vehicles, campers, boats and horse trailers.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the composition of the loan portfolio by reporting segment and portfolio segment was as follows:

| (2) | Effective January 1, 2020, the Company transferred a total of $45.5 million of its indirect sales portfolio from ALC to the Bank.

The Company makes commercial, real estate and installment loans to its customers. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, 56.9% and 62.8% of the portfolio was concentrated in loans secured by real estate as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Loans with a carrying value of $30.1 million and $34.6 million were pledged as collateral to secure Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Related Party Loans

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank makes loans to certain officers and directors of the Company, including companies with which they are associated. These loans are made on the same terms as those prevailing for comparable transactions with unrelated parties. Management believes that such loans do not represent more than a normal risk of collectability, nor do they present other unfavorable features. The aggregate balances of such related party loans and commitments were $0.4 million and $0.9 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there were no new loans to these parties, and repayments by active related parties were $0.4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2019, there were $0.1 million of new loans to these parties, and repayments by active related parties were $22 thousand.

Acquired Loans

The Company acquired loans through the acquisition of The Peoples Bank (“TPB”) completed on August 31, 2018. At acquisition, certain acquired loans evidenced deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable that all contractually-required payments would not be collected.

Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered to be credit impaired. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include information such as past-due and nonaccrual status, borrower credit scores and recent loan to value percentages. Purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans are accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30, Accounting for Purchased Loans with Deteriorated Credit Quality, and initially measured at fair value, which includes estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, an allowance for credit losses related to these loans is not carried over and recorded at the acquisition date. On the date of completion of the acquisition, the outstanding principal balance and carrying value of PCI loans accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30 were $2.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

The carrying amount of PCI loans, which is included within loans on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, is set forth in the table below as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

|  | September 30, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |

Fair value adjustment |  |  | (32 | ) |  |  | (49 | )
Carrying amount, net of fair value adjustment |  | $ | 165 |  |  | $ | 175 |

During both the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company did not recognize any accretable yield, or income expected to be collected, associated with these loans. Additionally, the Company did not increase or reverse the allowance for loan losses related to the remaining PCI loans.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company utilizes a credit grading system that provides a uniform framework for establishing and monitoring credit risk in the loan portfolio. Under this system, construction, land, multi-family real estate, other commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loans are graded based on pre-determined risk metrics and categorized into one of nine risk grades. These risk grades can be summarized into categories described as pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss, as described in further detail below.

| • | Pass (Risk Grades 1-5): Loans in this category include obligations in which the probability of default is considered low.

| • | Special Mention (Risk Grade 6): Loans in this category exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends deserving management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset 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. Although a special mention asset has a higher probability of default than pass-rated categories, its default is not imminent.

18

| • | Substandard (Risk Grade 7): Loans in this category have defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt. A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Normal repayment from the borrower is in jeo pardy, although no loss of principal is envisioned. There is a distinct possibility that a partial loss of interest and/or principal will occur if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard ass ets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified as substandard.

| • | Doubtful (Risk Grade 8): Loans classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses found in substandard loans, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection of debt in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable or improbable. Serious problems exist such that partial loss of principal is likely; however, because of certain important, reasonably specific pending factors that may work to strengthen the assets, the loans’ classification as estimated losses is deferred until a more exact status may be determined. Such pending factors may include proposed merger, acquisition or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfection of liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans. Loans classified as doubtful may include loans to borrowers that have demonstrated a history of failing to live up to agreements. The Company did not have any loans classified as Doubtful (Risk Grade 8) as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

| • | Loss (Risk Grade 9): Loans are classified in this category when borrowers are deemed incapable of repayment of unsecured debt. Loans to such borrowers are considered uncollectable and of such little value that continuance as active assets of the Company is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not prudent to defer writing off these assets, even though partial recovery may be realized in the future. The Company did not have any loans classified as Loss (Risk Grade 9) as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Because residential real estate and consumer loans are more uniform in nature, each loan is categorized into one of two risk grades, depending on whether the loan is considered to be performing or nonperforming. Performing loans are loans that are paying principal and interest in accordance with a contractual agreement. Nonperforming loans are loans that have demonstrated characteristics that indicate a probability of loss.

COVID-19 Loan Deferments and Risk Identification

Uncertainty continues to exist as to what the ultimate economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will be on the Company’s borrowers. In response to this uncertainty, during the first nine months of 2020, the Company increased qualitative factors in the calculation of the allowance for loan and lease losses. Although we believe that the allowance was sufficient to absorb losses in the portfolio based on circumstances existing as of September 30, 2020, management is continuing to closely monitor the Company’s loan portfolio for indications of credit deterioration, particularly with respect to those loans that have had payments deferred in connection with the pandemic.

21

Loan Deferments

In accordance with section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the Company implemented initiatives to provide short-term payment relief to borrowers who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19. Over 1,800 of the Company’s borrowers requested and were granted pandemic-related deferments by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Although the interpretive guidance defines short-term as six months, the majority of deferments granted by the Company were for terms of 90 days or less. During the third quarter of 2020, the principal balance of loans that were under COVID-19 deferment was reduced by $76.8 million. The table below summarizes all remaining COVID-19 payment deferments as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

Although the credit quality of these deferred loans will continue to be evaluated on an ongoing basis in accordance with the Company’s uniform framework for establishing and monitoring credit risk, in accordance with regulatory guidance related to the CARES Act, loans for which payments were deferred related to COVID-19 will generally not be considered troubled debt restructurings or placed in past due or nonaccrual status during the deferment period.

At-Risk Categories

With respect to credit risk, at the onset of the pandemic, the Company identified certain categories of loans that it believed to be “at-risk” of potential default or credit loss. Initially, these “at-risk” categories were divided into those deemed to be of “high-risk” and those deemed to be of “moderate-risk.” As of September 30, 2020, management has refined its evaluation of those categories that continue to be at-risk in the current environment. In general, the categories that remain include those that were previously identified as “high-risk” as a result of the pandemic. The “high-risk” category includes loans collateralized by hotels/motels and dine-in restaurants.

Hotels/motels – These are loans that are secured by real estate and furniture, fixtures and equipment for hotel or motel facilities. This category may also include hotel or motel facilities that were under construction as of September 30, 2020 and for which the Company is financing the construction costs. While all loans in this category are to individual owner groups, 90% of the loan balance is to major franchises. The primary source of income for the borrowers comes from nightly occupancy of the facilities. Due to an overall decrease in travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, and due to restrictions on travel by many state and local governmental authorities, employers and other entities, the hotel industry has seen declines in occupancy rates, resulting in decreased revenue. Additionally, there is uncertainty as to when the public will have the confidence to utilize hotels and motels at the levels that the industry experienced prior to COVID-19. Therefore, these loans are currently considered by management to be of greater risk of potential loss than other loan categories.

Dine-in Restaurants – These are loans that are secured by real estate, equipment and leasehold improvements for dine-in restaurant facilities. This category may also include dine-in restaurant facilities that were under construction as of September 30, 2020 and for which the Company is financing the construction costs. The primary source of income for the borrowers comes from the operation of the restaurant facilities. Dine-in restaurants rely more heavily on the presence of diners within the facilities and have had to adapt to decreased dining capacities, as well as offering a drive-up concept, in the current environment. Due to the greater impact that restrictions placed by governmental authorities have had on dine-in restaurants, these loans are currently considered by management to be of greater risk of potential loss than other loan categories.

The table below summarizes the “high-risk” categories and the relative percentage of the Company’s loan portfolio for each as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

|  | September 30, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2020 |

Dine-in restaurants |  |  | 4,379 |  |  |  | 0.7 | % |  |  | 4,459 |  |  |  | 0.8 | %
Total high-risk loans |  | $ | 14,838 |  |  |  | 2.3 | % |  | $ | 14,869 |  |  |  | 2.6 | %

Management will continue to evaluate credit exposures on these loans on an ongoing basis in accordance with the Company’s uniform framework for establishing and monitoring credit risk.

Paycheck Protection Program

Sections 1102 and 1106 of the CARES Act added a new loan program administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) entitled the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP is intended to provide economic relief to small businesses throughout the United States that have been adversely impacted by COVID-19. An Interim Final Rule related to the PPP was issued on April 2, 2020, and additional clarifications to the Interim Final Rule have been provided subsequently by the SBA. In July 2020, additional legislation was passed that allowed small businesses to apply for loans through August 8, 2020. PPP loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and are forgivable in whole, or in part, if the proceeds are used by the borrower for payroll and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the PPP. If not forgiven in whole or in part, the loans carry a fixed interest rate of 1.00% per annum with payments deferred for 24 weeks from the date of the loan, plus another 10 months after the 24-week period. As compensation for originating a PPP loan, the Company receives lender processing fees from the SBA ranging from 1% to 5% of the original loan balance, depending on the size of the loan. Processing fees, net of origination costs, are deferred and amortized over the contractual life of the loan as interest income. Upon forgiveness of a loan by the SBA, any unrecognized net deferred fees will be recognized as interest income in that period.

PPP loans were initially originated for a term of two years; however, a June 5, 2020 amendment to the CARES Act (i) provided for a five-year minimum loan term for loans originated beginning on that date and (ii) permitted lenders and borrowers to amend loans previously issued under two-year terms to terms of five to ten years if mutually agreed upon by both the lender and the borrower. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had originated 167 PPP loans with an aggregate principal balance of $14.0 million. Of this amount, $13.8 million of the loans were originated under two-year terms, while $0.2 million of the loans were originated under five-year terms.

Impaired Loans

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the related loan agreement. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the liquidation of the collateral. At the Bank, all loans of $0.5 million or more that have a credit quality risk grade of seven or above are identified for impairment analysis. Loans of less than $0.5 million may also be impaired if in management’s judgement circumstances warrant impairment. At ALC, all loans of $50 thousand or more that are 90 days or more past due are identified for impairment analysis. As of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were $0.1 million of impaired loans with no related allowance recorded at ALC. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectable.

As of September 30, 2020, the carrying amount of the Company’s impaired loans consisted of the following:

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued amounted to $3.1 million and $3.7 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. If interest on those loans had been accrued, there would have been $124 thousand and $41 thousand of interest accrued for the periods ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Interest income related to these loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 was $36 thousand and $147 thousand, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Troubled debt restructurings include loans with respect to which concessions have been granted to borrowers that generally would not have otherwise been considered had the borrowers not been experiencing financial difficulty. The concessions granted may include payment schedule modifications, interest rate reductions, maturity date extensions, modifications of note structure, principal balance reductions or some combination of these concessions. There were no loans modified with concessions granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2019. Restructured loans may involve loans remaining on non-accrual, moving to non-accrual or continuing on accrual status, depending on the individual facts and circumstances of the borrower. Non-accrual restructured loans are included with all other non-accrual loans. In addition, all accruing restructured loans are reported as troubled debt restructurings. Generally, restructured loans remain on non-accrual until the customer has attained a sustained period of repayment performance under the modified loan terms (generally a minimum of six months). However, performance prior to the restructuring, or significant events that coincide with the restructuring, are considered in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and whether the loan should be returned to or maintained on non-accrual status. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, then the loan remains on non-accrual. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $10 thousand and $16 thousand, respectively, of non-accruing loans that were previously restructured and that remained on non-accrual status. For both the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had no loans that were restored to accrual status based on a sustained period of repayment performance.

The following table provides, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the number of loans remaining in each loan category that the Company had previously modified in a troubled debt restructuring, as well as the pre- and post-modification principal balance as of each date.

|  | September 30, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |
|  | Number of Loans |  |  | Pre- Modification Outstanding Principal Balance |  |  | Post- Modification Principal Balance |  |  | Number of Loans |  |  | Pre- Modification Outstanding Principal Balance |  |  | Post- Modification Principal Balance |
|  | (Dollars in Thousands) |
Loans secured by real estate: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Construction, land development and other land loans |  |  | 1 |  |  | $ | 107 |  |  | $ | — |  |  |  | 1 |  |  | $ | 107 |  |  | $ | 62 |
Secured by 1-4 family residential properties |  |  | 2 |  |  |  | 59 |  |  |  | 12 |  |  |  | 2 |  |  |  | 59 |  |  |  | 14 |
Commercial loans |  |  | 2 |  |  |  | 116 |  |  |  | 51 |  |  |  | 2 |  |  |  | 116 |  |  |  | 60 |
Total |  |  | 5 |  |  | $ | 282 |  |  | $ | 63 |  |  |  | 5 |  |  | $ | 282 |  |  | $ | 136 |

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no loans that previously had been modified in a troubled debt restructuring had defaulted subsequent to modification.

Restructured loan modifications primarily included maturity date extensions and payment schedule modifications. There were no modifications to principal balances of the loans that were restructured. Accordingly, there was no impact on the Company’s allowance for loan losses resulting from the modifications.

26

All loans with a principal balance of $0.5 million or more that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring are considered impaired and evaluated individually for impairment. The nature and extent of impairment of restructured loans, including those that have experienced a subsequent payme nt default, are considered in the determination of an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses. This evaluation resulted in an allowance for loan losses attributable to such restructured loans of $1 thousand as of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 201 9.

5. | OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED AND REPOSSESSED ASSETS

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate and certain other assets acquired in foreclosure are reported at the net realizable value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. The following table summarizes foreclosed property activity as of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

|  | September 30, 2020 |  |  | September 30, 2019 |
|  | (Dollars in Thousands) |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 1,078 |  |  | $ | 1,505 |
Additions (1) |  |  | 293 |  |  |  | 312 |
Sales proceeds |  |  | (370 | ) |  |  | (523 | )
Gross gains |  |  | 38 |  |  |  | 39 |
Gross losses |  |  | (44 | ) |  |  | (47 | )
Net losses |  |  | (6 | ) |  |  | (8 | )
Impairment |  |  | (10 | ) |  |  | (38 | )
Ending balance |  | $ | 985 |  |  | $ | 1,248 |

| (1) | Additions to other real estate owned (“OREO”) include transfers from loans, other assets and capitalized improvements to existing OREO properties.

Valuation adjustments are recorded in other non-interest expense and are primarily post-foreclosure write-downs that are a result of continued declining property values based on updated appraisals or other indications of value, such as offers to purchase. Net realizable value less estimated costs to sell of foreclosed residential real estate held by the Company was $0.1 million and $0.2 million as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, the Company did not hold any consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate that were in the process of foreclosure as of September 30, 2020 and held $40 thousand of these loans as of September 30, 2019.

Repossessed Assets

In addition to the other real estate and other assets acquired in foreclosure, the Company also acquires assets through the repossession of the underlying collateral of loans in default. The following table summarizes repossessed asset activity as of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

|  | September 30, 2020 |  |  | September 30, 2019 |
|  | (Dollars in Thousands) |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 256 |  |  | $ | 229 |

Impairment |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Ending balance |  | $ | 155 |  |  | $ | 120 |

Repossessed assets are included in Other Assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

6. | GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company recorded goodwill associated with its acquisition of TPB in 2018. As of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, goodwill totaled $7.4 million. Goodwill must be tested for impairment annually, or more often if circumstances warrant. If, as a result of impairment testing, it is determined that the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, impairment is indicated, and the goodwill must be written down to its implied fair value.

The Company’s annual test date for goodwill impairment is October 1; however, goodwill may be tested between annual test dates if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. Factors that are considered when evaluating whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired may include (but are not limited to) significant and sustained reductions in stock price, significant earnings deterioration below forecasted levels, significant deterioration in the credit quality of borrowers, changes in the overall business outlook for an organization, losses in operating cash flows and significant impairment losses recognized by competitors.

Based on a number of considerations, as of September 30, 2020, the Company’s management concluded that circumstances did not indicate that it was more likely than not that goodwill was impaired. However, the ultimate economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations, as well as its stock price, is not yet known. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic implications, including changes in the interest rate environment and potential implications on credit quality, have impacted the Company’s operations and earnings during the course of the first nine months of 2020. In addition, the Company’s stock price has remained at discounted levels since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020. Should the Company’s future operations and/or stock price be negatively impacted for a sustained period of time, management may determine that goodwill testing at an interim period between annual testing dates is appropriate.

Core deposit premiums are amortized over a seven-year period and are periodically evaluated, at least annually, as to the recoverability of their carrying value. Core deposit premiums of $2.0 million were recorded during 2018 as part of the TPB acquisition.

The Company’s goodwill and other intangibles (carrying basis and accumulated amortization) as of September 30, 2020 were as follows:

|  | September 30, 2020 |
|  | (Dollars in Thousands) |
Goodwill |  | $ | 7,435 |
Core deposit intangible: |  |  |  |
Gross carrying amount |  |  | 2,048 |
Accumulated amortization |  |  | (981 | )
Core deposit intangible, net |  |  | 1,067 |
Total |  | $ | 8,502 |

The Company’s estimated remaining amortization expense on intangibles as of September 30, 2020 was as follows:

|  | Amortization Expense |
|  | (Dollars in Thousands) |
2020 |  | $ | 92 |
2021 |  |  | 341 |
2022 |  |  | 268 |
2023 |  |  | 195 |
2024 |  |  | 122 |
2025 |  |  | 49 |
Total |  | $ | 1,067 |

The net carrying amount of the Company’s core deposit premiums is not considered recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from use and eventual disposition. That assessment is based on the carrying amount of the intangible assets subject to amortization at the date on which it is tested for recoverability. Intangible assets subject to amortization are tested by the Company for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.

7. | BORROWINGS

Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and short-term FHLB advances with original maturities of one year or less. Short-term borrowings totaled $10.0 million as of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Federal funds purchased, which represent unsecured lines of credit that generally mature within one to four days, are available to the Bank through arrangements with correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve. As of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no federal funds purchased outstanding. The Bank had $61.6 million and $61.7 million in available unused lines of credit with correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

28

Securities sold under repurchase agreements, which are secured borrowings, ge nerally are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The Bank may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. The Bank monitors the fair value of the underlying secu rities on a daily basis. Securities sold under repurchase agreements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 201 9 totaled $45 thousand and $25 thousand, respectively.

Short-term FHLB advances are secured borrowings available to the Bank as an alternative funding source. As of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Bank had $10.0 million in outstanding FHLB advances with original maturities of less than one year.

The Company may use FHLB advances with original maturities of more than one year as an alternative to funding sources with similar maturities, such as certificates of deposit or other deposit programs. These advances generally offer more attractive rates than other mid-term financing options. They are also flexible, allowing the Company to quickly obtain the necessary maturities and rates that best suit its overall asset/liability strategy. FHLB advances with an original maturity of more than one year are classified as long-term. As of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any long-term FHLB advances outstanding.

Assets pledged (including loans and investment securities) associated with FHLB advances totaled $30.1 million and $34.6 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Bank had $233.6 million and $211.5 million, respectively, in remaining credit from the FHLB (subject to available collateral).

8. | INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 23.7% and 20.5%, respectively, for the same periods. The effective tax rate is impacted by recurring permanent differences, such as those associated with bank-owned life insurance and tax-exempt investment and loan income.

The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $2.3 million and $2.8 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The decrease in the net deferred tax asset resulted primarily from the impact of changes in the fair value of securities available-for-sale, combined with reductions in net operating loss carryforwards and other book-to-tax temporary differences.

9. | DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company has entered into supplemental retirement compensation benefits agreements with certain directors and former executive officers. The measurement of the liability under these agreements includes estimates involving life expectancy, length of time before retirement and the expected returns on the bank-owned life insurance policies used to fund those agreements. Should these estimates prove to be materially wrong, the cost of these agreements could change accordingly. The related deferred compensation obligation to these directors and former executive officers included in other liabilities was $3.2 million as of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Non-employee directors may elect to defer payment of all or any portion of their Bancshares and Bank director fees under Bancshares’ Non-Employee Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferral Plan”). The Deferral Plan permits non-employee directors to invest their directors’ fees and to receive the adjusted value of the deferred amounts in cash and/or shares of Bancshares’ common stock. Neither Bancshares nor the Bank makes any contribution to participants’ accounts under the Deferral Plan. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a total of 108,473 and 124,392 shares of Bancshares common stock, respectively, were deferred in connection with the Deferral Plan. All deferred fees, whether in the form of cash or shares of Bancshares common stock, are reflected as compensation expense in the period earned. The Company classifies all deferred directors’ fees allocated to be paid in shares as equity additional paid-in capital. The Company may use issued shares or shares of treasury stock to satisfy these obligations when due.

1 0. | STOCK AWARDS

In accordance with the 2013 Incentive Plan, stock awards, including stock options and restricted stock, have been granted to certain employees and non-employee directors. Shares of common stock available for distribution to satisfy the grants may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards totaled $0.2 million for both of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Stock option awards have been granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant and have vesting periods ranging from one to three years, with 10-year contractual terms.

The Company recognizes the cost of services received in exchange for stock option awards based on the grant date fair value of the award, with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the award’s vesting period. The fair value of outstanding awards was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock.

1 1. | LEASES

The Bank and ALC are involved in a number of operating leases, primarily for branch locations. Branch leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to 13 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years, and some of which include an option to terminate the lease within one year. The Bank leases certain office facilities to third parties and classifies these leases as operating leases.

1 2. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of certain balance sheet assets and liabilities. In the normal course of business, the Company also uses derivative financial instruments to add stability to interest income or expense and to manage its exposure to movements in interest rates. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enters into transactions that have a qualifying hedge relationship. The Company’s hedging strategies involving interest rate derivatives are classified as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges, depending upon the rate characteristic of the hedged item.

Cash Flow Hedges

Effective July 8, 2019, the Bank entered into a forward interest rate swap contract on certain variable-rate money market deposit accounts (indexed to the Federal Funds effective rate’s daily weighted average) with a total notional amount of $10.0 million. The money market account balances are expected to exceed $10 million for the next seven years, and the rates on these deposits are anticipated to move closely with changes in one-month LIBOR, or a comparable benchmark interest rate. The interest rate swap was designated as a derivative instrument in a cash flow hedge with the objective of converting the floating interest payments to a fixed rate throughout the seven-year period beginning on July 8, 2019 and ending on July 8, 2026. Under the swap arrangement, the Bank will pay a fixed interest rate of 1.790% and receive a variable interest rate based on one-month LIBOR, or a comparable benchmark interest rate, on the notional amount of $10.0 million, with monthly net settlements.

31

Effective July 22, 2019, the Bank entered into a forward interest rate swap contract on certain variable-rate money market deposit accounts (indexed to the Federal Funds effective rate’s daily weighted average) with a total notional amount of $10.0 million. The money market account balances are expected to exceed $10 million for the next five years, and the rates on these deposits are anticipated to move closely with changes in one-month LIBOR, or a comparable benchmark interest rate. The interest rate swap was designated as a derivative instrument in a cash flow hedge with the objective of converting the floating interest payments to a fixed rate throughout the five-year period beginning on July 22, 2019 and ending on July 22, 2024. Under the swap arrangement, the Bank will pay a fixed interest rate of 1.698% and receive a variable interest rate based on one-month LIBOR, or a comparable benchmark interest rate, on the notional amount of $10.0 million, with monthly net settlements.

Effective October 1, 2019, the Bank entered into a forward interest rate swap contract on a variable-rate FHLB advance (indexed to one-month LIBOR) with a total notional amount of $10.0 million. The FHLB advance will be renewed on a monthly basis and will remain outstanding until October 1, 2024. The interest rate swap was designated as a derivative instrument in a cash flow hedge with the objective of converting the floating interest payments to a fixed rate throughout the five-year period beginning on October 1, 2019 and ending on October 1, 2024. Under the swap arrangement, the Bank will pay a fixed interest rate of 1.357% and receive a variable interest rate based on one-month LIBOR, or a comparable benchmark interest rate, on the notional amount of $10.0 million, with monthly net settlements.

Fair Value Hedges

Effective August 9, 2019, the Bank entered into a forward interest rate swap contract on fixed rate commercial real estate loans with a total notional amount of $10.0 million. The interest rate swap was designated as a derivative instrument in a fair value hedge with the objective of effectively converting a pool of fixed rate assets to variable rate throughout the five-year period beginning on August 9, 2019 and ending on August 9, 2024. Under the swap arrangement, the Bank will pay a fixed interest rate of 1.406% and receive a variable interest rate based on one-month LIBOR, or a comparable benchmark interest rate, on the notional amount of $10.0 million, with monthly net settlements.

Effective August 21, 2019, the Bank entered into a forward interest rate swap contract on fixed rate commercial real estate loans with a total notional amount of $10.0 million. The interest rate swap was designated as a derivative instrument in a fair value hedge with the objective of effectively converting a pool of fixed rate assets to variable rate throughout the five-year period beginning on August 21, 2019 and ending on August 21, 2024. Under the swap arrangement, the Bank will pay a fixed interest rate of 1.292% and receive a variable interest rate based on one-month LIBOR, or a comparable benchmark interest rate, on the notional amount of $10.0 million, with monthly net settlements.

The Company has elected the last-of-layer method with respect to both of its fair value hedges. This approach allows the Company to designate as the hedged item a stated amount of the assets that are not expected to be affected by prepayments, defaults and other factors affecting the timing and amount of cash flows. Relative to the identified pools of loans, this represents the last dollar amount of the designated commercial loans, which is equivalent to the notional amounts of the derivative instruments.

The following amounts were recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges:

Location in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in Which the Hedged |  | Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets |  |  | Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustment Included in the Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets |
Item is Included |  | September 30, 2020 |
|  | (Dollars in Thousands) |
Loans and leases, net of allowance for loan and lease losses (1) |  | $ | 46,967 |  |  | $ | 924 |

(1) | These amounts include the amortized cost basis of closed portfolios used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the last layer expected to be remaining at the end of the hedging relationship. As of September 30, 2020, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $46.0 million, the cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships were $0.9 million, and the amounts of the designated hedged items were $20.0 million.

On January 1, 2018, the Company implemented ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, codified at ASC Topic 606. The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated through interest earned on financial instruments, including loans and investment securities, which falls outside the scope of ASC Topic 606. The Company also generates revenue from insurance- and lease-related contracts that fall outside the scope of ASC Topic 606.

34

All of the Company’s revenue that is subject to ASC Topic 606 is included in non-interest income; however, not all non-interest income is subject to ASC Topic 606. Revenue earned by the Company that is subject to ASC Topic 6 06 primarily consists of service and other charges on deposit accounts, mortgage fees from secondary market transactions at the Bank, ATM fee income and other non-interest income. Revenue generated from these sources for the nine-month periods ended Septem ber 30, 2020 and 2019 was $2.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively. All sources of the Company’s revenue subject to ASC Topic 606 are tran saction-based, and revenue is recognized at the time at which the transaction is executed, which is the same time at which the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied. The Company had no contract liabilities or unsatisfied performance obligations wit h customers as of September 30, 2020.

Other Operating Expense

Other operating expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 consisted of the following:

1 5. | GUARANTEES, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making these commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and others, that are not included in the consolidated financial statements. The financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the financial statements. A summary of these commitments and contingent liabilities is presented below:

|  | September 30, 2020 |  |  | December 31, 2019 |
|  | (Dollars in Thousands) |
Standby letters of credit |  | $ | 180 |  |  | $ | 180 |
Standby performance letters of credit |  | $ | 555 |  |  | $ | 647 |
Commitments to extend credit |  | $ | 109,630 |  |  | $ | 96,967 |

Standby letters of credit and standby performance letters of credit are contingent commitments issued by the Bank generally to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The Bank has recourse against the customer for any amount that it is required to pay to a third party under a standby letter of credit or standby performance letter of credit. Revenues are recognized over the lives of the standby letters of credit and standby performance letters of credit. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the potential amounts of future payments that the Bank could be required to make under its standby letters of credit and standby performance letters of credit, which represent the Bank’s total credit risk in these categories, are included in the table above.

A commitment to extend credit is an agreement to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

35

The Company is self-insured for a significant portion of employee health benefits. However, the Company maintains stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit the Company’s individual claim and total exposure related to self-insurance. The Company estimates accrued liability for the ultimate costs to settle known claims, as well as claims in curred but not yet reported, as of the balance sheet date. The Company’s recorded estimated liability for self-insurance is based on the insurance companies’ incurred loss estimates and management’s judgment, including assumptions and evaluation of factors related to the frequency and severity of claims, the Company’s claims development history and the Company’s claims settlement practices. The assessment of loss contingencies and self-insurance reserves is a highly subjective process that requires judgment s about future events. Contingencies are reviewed at least quarterly to determine the adequacy of self-insurance accruals. Self-insurance accruals totaled $0.2 million as of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 201 9. The ultimate settlement of loss contingencies and self-insurance reserves may differ significantly from amounts accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Litigation

The Company is party to certain ordinary course litigation from time to time, and the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in all such litigation. In the opinion of the Company, based on review and consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such ordinary course litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

1 6. | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are detailed below. The following disclosures should not be considered a representation of the liquidation value of the Company, but rather represent a good-faith estimate of the increase or decrease in value of financial instruments held by the Company since purchase, origination or issuance.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods, including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair value. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

| • | Level 1 — Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

| • | Level 2 — Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

| • | Level 3 — Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer or broker-traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

The Company rarely transfers assets and liabilities measured at fair value between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. Trading account assets and securities available-for-sale may be periodically transferred to or from Level 3 valuation based on management’s conclusion regarding the best method of pricing for an individual security. Such transfers are accounted for as if they occurred at the beginning of a reporting period. There were no such transfers during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2019.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

Securities Available-for-Sale

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include exchange-traded equities. Level 2 securities include U.S. Treasury and agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. Level 2 fair values are obtained from quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. In certain cases, where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

36

The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 201 9.

Fair Value Measurements on a Non-recurring Basis

Impaired Loans

Loans that are considered impaired are loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans can be measured based on the present value of expected payments using the loan’s original effective rate as the discount rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling cost if the loan is collateral-dependent. For the Company, the fair value of impaired loans is primarily measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans (typically real estate). The Company determines the fair value of the collateral based on independent appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers. The appraisals may include a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches, including comparable sales and income approaches. Appraised values are discounted for estimated costs to sell and may be discounted further based on management’s knowledge of the collateral, changes in market conditions since the most recent appraisal and/or management’s knowledge of the borrower and the borrower’s business. Such discounts by management are subjective and are typically significant unobservable inputs for determining fair value. Impaired loans are evaluated by management for additional impairment at least quarterly and are adjusted accordingly.

OREO and Other Assets Held-for-Sale

OREO consists of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans and is recorded at net realizable value, less estimated cost to sell. Estimates of fair value are generally based on third-party appraisals of the property and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The appraisals are sometimes discounted based on management’s knowledge of the property and/or changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal. Such discounts are typically significant unobservable inputs for determining fair value.

37

As of September 30, 2020, i ncluded within OREO were certain assets that were formerly included as premises and equipment but have been removed from service, and as of the balance sheet date, were designated as assets to be disposed of by sale. These include assets associated with branches of the Bank that have been closed. When an asset is designated as held-for-sale, the Company ceases deprecia tion of the asset, and the asset is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Estimates of fair value are generally based on third-party appraisals of the property and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The appraisals are sometimes discounted based on management’s knowledge of the property and/or changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal. Such discounts are typically unobservable inputs for determining fair v alue. These assets were included within other assets on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019.

The following table presents the balances of impaired loans, OREO and other assets held-for-sale measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs

The following table presents information regarding assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of September 30, 2020. The table includes the valuation techniques and the significant unobservable inputs utilized. The range of each unobservable input and the weighted average within the range utilized as of September 30, 2020 are both included. Following the table is a description of the valuation technique and the sensitivity of the technique to changes in the significant unobservable input.

Impaired loans |  | $ | 29 |  |  | Multiple data points, including discount to appraised value of collateral based on recent market activity |  | Appraisal comparability adjustment (discount) |  | 9%-10% |  | (9.5%)
OREO and other assets held-for-sale |  | $ | 985 |  |  | Discount to appraised value of property based on recent market activity for sales of similar properties |  | Appraisal comparability adjustment (discount) |  | 9%-10% |  | (9.5%)

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans are valued based on multiple data points indicating the fair value for each loan. The primary data point is the appraisal value of the underlying collateral, to which a discount is applied. Management establishes this discount or comparability adjustment based on recent sales of similar property types. As liquidity in the market increases or decreases, the comparability adjustment and the resulting asset valuation are impacted.

OREO

OREO under a binding contract for sale is valued based on contract price. If no sales contract is pending for a specific property, management establishes a comparability adjustment to the appraised value based on historical activity, considering proceeds for properties sold versus the corresponding appraised value. Increases or decreases in realization for properties sold impact the comparability adjustment for similar assets remaining on the balance sheet.

Other Assets Held-for-Sale

Assets designated as held-for-sale that are under a binding contract are valued based on the contract price. If no sales contract is pending for a specific property, management establishes a comparability adjustment to the appraised value based on historical activity, considering proceeds for properties sold versus the corresponding appraised value. Increases or decreases in realization for properties sold impact the comparability adjustment for similar assets remaining on the balance sheet.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the face of the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

Cash, due from banks and federal funds sold – The carrying amount of cash, due from banks and federal funds sold approximates fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock – Based on the redemption provision of the FHLB, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.

Investment securities – Fair values of investment securities are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on market prices of comparable instruments.

39

Derivative instruments – The fair value of derivative instruments is based on information obtained from a third-party financial institution. This information i s periodically evaluated by the Company and, as necessary, corroborated against other third-party information.

Accrued interest receivable and payable – The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value.

Loans, net – The fair value of loans is estimated on an exit price basis incorporating contractual cash flow, prepayment discount spreads, credit loss and liquidity premiums.

Demand and savings deposits – The fair values of demand deposits are equal to the carrying value of such deposits. Demand deposits include non-interest-bearing demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and money market demand accounts.

Time deposits – The fair values of relatively short-term time deposits are equal to their carrying values. Discounted cash flows are used to value long-term time deposits. The discount rate used is based on interest rates currently offered by the Company on comparable deposits as to amount and term.

Short-term borrowings – These borrowings may consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and the floating rate borrowings from the FHLB account. Due to the short-term nature of these borrowings, fair values approximate carrying values.

Long-term debt – The fair value of this debt is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements as of the determination date.

Off-balance sheet instruments – The carrying amount of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit approximates fair value. The carrying amount of the off-balance sheet financial instruments is based on fees currently charged to enter into such agreements.

The estimated fair value and related carrying or notional amounts, as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows:

FUSB Reinsurance, Inc., an Arizona corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank (“FUSB Reinsurance”), reinsures or “underwrites” credit life and credit accident and health insurance policies sold to the Bank’s and ALC’s consumer loan customers. FUSB Reinsurance is responsible for the first level of risk on these policies up to a specified maximum amount, and a primary third-party insurer retains the remaining risk. A third-party administrator is also responsible for performing most of the administrative functions of FUSB Reinsurance on a contract basis.

Delivery of the best possible financial services to customers remains an overall operational focus of the Company. The Company recognizes that attention to detail and responsiveness to customers’ desires are critical to customer satisfaction. The Company continues to upgrade technology, both in its financial services and in the training of its 281 full-time equivalent employees (as of September 30, 2020), to ensure customer satisfaction and convenience.

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make subjective judgments associated with estimates. These estimates are necessary to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and general banking practices. These estimates include accounting for the allowance for loan and lease losses, the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the value of other real estate owned and certain collateral-dependent loans, consideration related to goodwill impairment testing and deferred tax asset valuation. A description of these estimates, which significantly affect the determination of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, is set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Bancshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The emphasis of this discussion is a comparison of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2020 to December 31, 2019, while comparing income and expense for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

All yields and ratios presented and discussed herein are recorded and presented on the accrual basis and not on the tax-equivalent basis, unless otherwise indicated.

This information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in Bancshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. As used in the following discussion, the words “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Bancshares and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

RECENT MARKET CONDITIONS: COVID-19 PANDEMIC

During the first quarter of 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) spread to a number of countries around the world, including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and the United States declared a National Public Health Emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has severely restricted the level of economic activity in the Company’s markets. In response to the pandemic, the governments of the states in which both the Bank and ALC have retail offices and lending operations have taken preventive or protective actions, including imposing restrictions on business operations and travel, advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego time outside of their homes, and ordering temporary closures of businesses that have been determined to be non-essential.

41

The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated impacts on trade (including supply chains and e xport levels), travel, employee productivity and other economic activities have had, are currently having, and may for some time continue to have a destabilizing effect on financial markets and economic activity. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operational and financial performance is currently uncertain, cannot be predicted and will depend on certain developments, including, among others, the duration and spread of COVID-19, its impact on our customers, employees and vendors, and the continued governmental, regulatory and private sector responses, which may be precautionary, to the coronavirus.

The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations generally rely upon the ability of the Company’s borrowers to repay their loans, the value of collateral underlying those loans, and demand for loans and other products and services that the Company offers, which are highly dependent on the business environment in the Company’s primary markets and the United States economy as a whole.

In light of the changing economic outlook as a result of COVID-19, as well as other factors, in March 2020, the 10-year Treasury yield was reduced to historic lows, and the equity markets were significantly impacted. In response, the Federal Reserve reduced the target federal funds rate by 150 basis points. These reductions in interest rates and other economic uncertainties that have arisen as a result primarily of the COVID-19 pandemic have and are likely to continue to negatively impact net interest income, provisions for loan losses and noninterest income. Additional negative financial impacts could occur; however, the ultimate potential impact is not known at this time.

Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and the CARES Act

Loan Deferments and Credit Risk Identification

In accordance with section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the Company implemented initiatives to provide short-term payment relief to borrowers who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19. Over 1,800 of the Company’s borrowers requested and were granted pandemic-related deferments by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Although the interpretive guidance defines short-term as six months, the majority of deferments granted by the Company were for terms of 90 days or less. As of September 30, 2020, 153 borrowers with an aggregate principal balance totaling approximately $18.4 million had active loan payment deferments. In accordance with the interpretive guidance from banking regulatory agencies, the Company’s management granted the COVID-19 loan deferments on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current on their payments prior to the payment relief.

With respect to credit risk, at the onset of the pandemic, management identified certain categories of loans that it believed to be “at-risk” of potential default or credit loss. Initially, these “at-risk” categories were divided into those deemed to be of “high-risk” and those deemed to be of “moderate-risk.” As of September 30, 2020, management has refined its evaluation of those categories that continue to be at-risk in the current environment. In general, the categories that remain include those that were previously identified as “high-risk” as a result of the pandemic. The “high-risk” category, which totaled $14.8 million, or 2.3% of the loan portfolio, as of September 30, 2020, includes loans collateralized by hotels/motels and dine-in restaurants.

Refer to Note 4 in the Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) contained herein under the heading “COVID-19 Loan Deferments and Risk Identification” for additional details related to COVID-19 deferred loan payments and loans considered to be “at-risk.”

The spread of COVID-19 has created a global public health crisis that has resulted in widespread volatility and deterioration in household, business, economic and market conditions. Although the Company has not experienced an increase in charge-offs, management expects that some loans may experience credit deterioration and that there may be defaults in certain industries.

In accordance with the Company’s uniform framework for establishing and monitoring credit risk, management will continue to closely evaluate all loans that request and receive COVID-19 deferments or that are considered to be “at-risk” with respect to the pandemic. However, there continues to be a significant level of uncertainty as to the ultimate impact that the pandemic will have on these borrowers.

Paycheck Protection Program

Sections 1102 and 1106 of the CARES Act added a new loan program administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) entitled the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP is intended to provide economic relief to small businesses throughout the United States that have been adversely impacted by COVID-19. An Interim Final Rule related to the PPP was issued on April 2, 2020, and additional clarifications to the Interim Final Rule have been provided subsequently by the SBA. In July 2020, additional legislation was passed that allowed small businesses to apply for loans through August 8, 2020. PPP loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and are forgivable in whole, or in part, if the proceeds are used by the borrower for payroll and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the PPP. If not forgiven in whole or in part, the loans carry a fixed interest rate of 1.00% per annum with payments deferred for 24 weeks from the date of the loan, plus another 10 months after the 24-week period. As compensation for originating a PPP loan, the Company receives lender processing fees from the SBA ranging from 1% to 5% of the original loan balance, depending on the size of the loan. Processing fees, net of origination costs, are deferred and amortized over the contractual life of the loan as interest income. Upon forgiveness of a loan by the SBA, any unrecognized net deferred fees will be recognized as interest income in that period.

42

PPP loans were initially originated for a ter m of two years; however, a June 5, 2020 amendment to the CARES Act (i) provided for a five-year minimum loan term for loans originated beginning on that date and (ii) permitted lenders and borrowers to amend loans previously issued under two-year terms to terms of five to ten years if mutually agreed upon by both the lender and the borrower. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had originated 1 67 PPP loans with an aggregate principal balance of $1 4.0 million. Of this amount, $13.8 million of the loans were originated under two-year terms, while $0.2 million of the loans were originated under five-year terms.

A borrower is eligible for forgiveness of principal and accrued interest on its PPP loan to the extent that the proceeds were used to cover eligible payroll costs, interest costs, rent and utility costs over a period of between eight and twenty-four weeks after the loan is made, as long as the borrower retains its employees and their compensation levels. The SBA began processing forgiveness payments during the fourth quarter of 2020. To date, the Company’s borrowers have submitted a nominal level of PPP forgiveness applications, but these applications are expected to accelerate over the next six months. Amortized PPP loan fees, which are recognized in interest and fees on loans, totaled approximately $79 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $286 thousand in remaining net deferred SBA PPP loan fees.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Earnings Highlights

The following discussion summarizes the most significant activity that drove changes in the Company’s net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income decreased $1.3 million comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to margin compression, as interest-earning assets repriced more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities following the 150-basis point reduction in the federal funds rate in March. Net interest margin decreased 48 basis points comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The interest rate environment precipitated by the pandemic put significant pressure on net interest margin as yields on interest-earning assets generally shifted downward more rapidly than rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Since March 2020, management has continued efforts to reprice deposit products in a manner consistent with the current environment. Annualized total funding costs (including both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposits and borrowings) decreased to 0.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 0.97% for corresponding period of 2019. If the current interest rate environment continues, management expects to further reduce interest costs as interest-bearing liabilities continue to reprice.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan and lease losses was $2.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans totaled 0.25% and 0.38% on an annualized basis for

43

the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Although net charge-off experience improved, due to uncertainty related to the ultimate economic impact of the pandemic, the Company continued to increase qualitative factors in the calculation of the allowance for loan and lease losses. The increased qualitative factors in response to the pandemic, as well as significant loan growth during 2020, resulted in increased loan loss provisioning during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. The allowance as a percentage of total loans increased to 1.16% (excluding PPP loans, which are guaranteed by the SBA) as of September 30, 2020, compared to 1.02% as of September 30, 2019.

In accordance with relevant accounting guidance for smaller reporting companies, the Company has not yet adopted the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) accounting model for the calculation of credit losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan and lease losses as of September 30, 2020, which was calculated under an incurred loss model, was sufficient to absorb losses in the Company’s loan portfolio based on circumstances existing as of the balance sheet date. However, the economic environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain, and accordingly, management will continue to closely monitor the impact of changing economic circumstances on the Company’s loan portfolio.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $4.0 million for both of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. However, as a result of reduced economic activity during the pandemic, the Company experienced reductions in certain components of non-interest income, including service charges and other fees on deposit accounts and credit insurance income. These reductions were offset primarily by increases in gains on the sale of investment securities, gains on sale of premises and equipment and other assets, and secondary market mortgage fees earned.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased by 1.3%, totaling $25.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $25.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. In response to the pandemic, management has continued efforts to monitor expenses prudently in light of economic uncertainty. These efforts have included elimination of merit raises for executive management in 2020, which has assisted in holding salary and benefits expenses to an increase of 1.3%, comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the corresponding period of 2019. In addition, the Company has experienced reductions in occupancy, foreclosure and certain other expenses, while experiencing increases in computer, insurance and professional services expenses.

Balance Sheet Management

The Company’s asset base increased during the first nine months of 2020. As of September 30, 2020, assets totaled $852.9 million, compared to $788.7 million as of December 31, 2019. The discussion below presents significant balance sheet components comparing September 30, 2020 to December 31, 2019.

Loans and Credit Quality

Total loans increased by $83.0 million as of September 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019. The increase was most pronounced in indirect sales lending and commercial real estate lending, which grew by $79.9 million and $23.7 million, respectively, during 2020. The Company’s indirect sales portfolio is comprised of loans secured by collateral that generally includes recreational vehicles, campers, boats and horse trailers. Effective January 1, 2020, the portfolio was transferred from ALC to the Bank, and, during the pandemic, demand for this financing grew substantially as consumers sought alternatives to more traditional travel and leisure activities. The Company currently operates this lending in 11 states located in the southeastern United States. Management believes that the movement of this portfolio under the Bank’s brand has afforded and will continue to afford greater opportunity for growth and diversification of the portfolio over time. The growth in commercial real estate lending was focused on borrowers that management determined to be of appropriate credit quality and structure in the current environment under the Bank’s established underwriting criteria.

Loan growth during the year was partially offset by decreases in 1-4 family residential real estate loans totaling $9.4 million, in the Bank’s commercial and industrial portfolio totaling $4.1 million and in direct consumer lending, primarily through ALC’s branch system, totaling $7.1 million.

Nonperforming assets, including loans in non-accrual status and other real estate owned (OREO), decreased to $4.0 million as September 30, 2020, compared to $4.8 million as of December 31, 2019. As a percentage of total assets, non-performing assets totaled 0.47% as of September 30, 2020, compared to 0.61% as of December 31, 2019.

44

Investment Securities

The investment securities portfolio continues to provide the Company with additional liquidity and allows management to fund a portion of loan growth from the maturity and payoff of securities within the portfolio. As of September 30, 2020, the investment securities portfolio totaled $93.4 million, compared to $108.4 million as of December 31, 2019. Management monitors its liquidity position, including forecasted expectations related to loan growth, when making determinations about whether to re-invest in the securities portfolio.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits totaled $745.3 million as of September 30, 2020, compared to $683.7 million as of December 31, 2019. The deposit growth during 2020 reflected the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on both business and consumer deposit holders, including preferences for liquidity, loan payment deferments, tax payment deferments, stimulus checks and lower consumer spending. Of the total increase in deposits, $40.2 million represented non-interest-bearing deposits, while $21.5 million were interest-bearing deposits.

Liquidity and Capital

The Company continues to maintain excess funding capacity to provide adequate liquidity for loan growth, capital expenditures and ongoing operations. The Company benefits from a strong deposit base, a liquid investment securities portfolio and access to funding from a variety of sources, including federal funds lines, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and brokered deposits.

During the third quarter of 2020, the Bank continued to maintain capital ratios at higher levels than the ratios required to be considered a “well-capitalized” institution under applicable banking regulations. As of September 30, 2020, the Bank’s common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios were each 11.71%. Its total capital ratio was 12.81%, and its Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.08%.

Cash Dividend

The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per share on its common stock in each quarter of 2020, resulting in a dividend of $0.09 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $0.06 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is calculated as the difference between interest and fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Fluctuations in interest rates, as well as volume and mix changes in earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, can materially impact net interest income. The Company’s earning assets consist of loans, taxable and tax-exempt investments, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, federal funds sold by the Bank and interest-bearing deposits in banks. Interest-bearing liabilities consist of interest-bearing demand deposits and savings and time deposits, as well as short-term borrowings.

The following tables show the average balances of each principal category of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Additionally, the tables provide an analysis of interest revenue or expense associated with each category, along with the accompanying yield or rate percentage. Net interest margin is calculated for each period presented as net interest income divided by average total interest-earning assets.

Net interest margin was reduced by 67 basis points to 4.56% during the third quarter of 2020, compared to 5.23% during the third quarter of 2019. Net interest margin decreased 48 basis points to 4.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 5.20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The reduction in net interest margin resulted from the prevailing interest rate environment. Since August 2019, the federal funds rate has been reduced by 225 basis points, including decreases totaling 150 basis points in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company’s average loan balance increased by $71.3 million comparing the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2019 and increased by $50.6 million comparing the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 to the same period of 2019. However, as a result of declining yields, interest earned on loans decreased $0.6 million and $1.2 million comparing the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 to the corresponding periods of 2019, respectively. The growth in average loans over the course of 2020 was funded through growth in deposits combined with maturities, sales and pay-downs in the Company’s investment portfolio. The average balance of the investment portfolio (taxable and tax-exempt combined) was reduced by $27.6 million and $36.5 million comparing the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the same periods in 2019. Based on this volume reduction, coupled with the reduced interest rate environment, interest earned on the investment portfolio declined by $0.2 million comparing the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2019 and by $0.7 million comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced economic activity and increased liquidity amongst deposit customers, consequently increasing the Company’s cash balances during 2020. In the current environment, the excess cash balances earn low yields, which has put downward pressure on net interest margin. Interest earned on excess cash balances (including federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in banks) decreased by $0.2 million comparing the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and by $0.7 million comparing the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, due primarily to the decrease in the federal funds rate.

Since March 2020, management has continued efforts to reprice deposit products in a manner consistent with the declining interest rate environment. The weighted average annualized rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.68% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, compared to 1.16% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, and decreased to 0.84% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, compared to 1.15% for the same period of 2019. Including non-interest-bearing demand deposits and borrowings, the Company’s aggregate funding costs totaled 0.54% for the third quarter of 2020, compared to 0.97% for the third quarter of 2019, and totaled 0.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 0.97% for the corresponding period of 2019.

In the current interest rate environment, management expects to further reduce interest costs as interest-bearing liabilities continue to reprice; however, significant economic uncertainty remains due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect that growth in net loan volume with loans of sufficient credit quality will enhance net income, particularly as resources are shifted from lower earning excess cash balances and federal

48

funds sold into loan assets. However, there continues to be c ompetitive pressure to generate loans of sufficient credit quality. Management is maintaining vigilance in the deployment of strategies to effectively manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. However, net interest income could continue to e xperience downward pressure as a result of the interest rate environment, as well as increased competition for quality loan and deposit funding opportunities.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan and lease losses was $1.0 million during the third quarter of 2020, compared to $0.9 million during the third quarter of 2019 and was $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Net charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased to $1.1 million, compared to $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Although net charge-off experience improved, due to uncertainty related to the ultimate economic impact of the pandemic, the Company continued to increase qualitative factors in the calculation of the allowance for loan and lease losses. The increased qualitative factors in response to the pandemic, as well as significant loan growth during 2020, resulted in increased loan loss provisioning during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. The allowance as a percentage of total loans increased to 1.16% (excluding PPP loans, which are guaranteed by the SBA) as of September 30, 2020, compared to 1.02% as of September 30, 2019.

Management believes that the allowance for loan and lease losses as of September 30, 2020, which was calculated under an incurred loss model, was sufficient to absorb losses in the Company’s loan portfolio based on circumstances existing as of the balance sheet date. However, the economic environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to contain a significant level of uncertainty. Management will continue to monitor circumstances associated with the loan portfolio, particularly those loans for which payment deferments have been provided and those portfolio categories characterized as “at-risk.” Should economic circumstances continue to deteriorate, additional loan loss provisioning may be required.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income represents fees and income derived from sources other than interest-earning assets. The following table presents the major components of non-interest income for the periods indicated:

Non-interest income at the Bank consists of service charges and other fees on deposit accounts; bank-owned life insurance; net gains on the sale and prepayment of investment securities; gains on the sale of premises and equipment and other assets; fees from the secondary market mortgage activities; lease income; and other non-interest income, which includes fee income generated by the Bank, such as ATM fees and real estate rental income. Non-interest income at ALC consists of credit insurance commissions and fees and other non-interest income generated for ancillary services, such as ALC’s auto club membership program. Non-interest income remained relatively consistent comparing both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 to the corresponding periods of 2019. However, as a result of reduced economic activity, the Company did experience reductions in certain components of non-interest income, including service charges and other fees on deposit accounts and credit insurance income, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Certain categories of non-interest income are expected to provide a relatively stable source of revenues, while others may fluctuate significantly based on changes in economic conditions, regulation or other factors. Non-interest income is expected to remain below historic levels in the near-term due to the decline in economic activities resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, effective in the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company has discontinued secondary mortgage marketing efforts. Accordingly, the Company expects to realize reductions in this non-interest income category in the future. However, the reductions in non-interest income will be substantially offset by reductions in salary and benefits and other expenses that were previously dedicated to these marketing efforts.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense represents expenses incurred from sources other than interest-bearing liabilities. The following table presents the major components of non-interest expense for the periods indicated:

Non-interest expense increased comparing the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2019, as well as comparing the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. In general, non-interest expense is expected to increase over time due to inflationary pressures; however, management continues to maintain vigilance in efforts to reduce these costs where opportunities to do so exist. In the near-term, non-interest expense may increase due to expenditures incurred by the Company in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Such expenses could include salary and employee benefits payments for increased work levels in response to the pandemic, costs to modify office space and retail banking centers to protect the safety of employees and customers, and expenses incurred to upgrade the Company’s technological systems to enhance remote interactions between employees and customers, as well as to respond to emerging threats associated with cybersecurity.

In addition to potential increases in expenditures required to operate, as a result of deteriorating economic circumstances in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company could also experience increases in non-interest expenses associated with the valuation of certain assets. Such expenditures could include, but are not limited to, impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets, write downs of assets taken out of operations, or impairments of available-for-sale investment securities for losses that are considered to be other-than-temporary.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 23.7% and 20.5%, respectively, for the same periods.

The effective tax rate is impacted by recurring items, such as changes in tax-exempt interest income earned from bank-qualified municipal bonds and loans and the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance. Management makes decisions about whether to invest in tax-exempt instruments on a case-by-case basis after considering a number of factors, including investment return, credit quality and the consistency of such investments with the Company’s overall strategy. The Company’s effective tax rate is expected to fluctuate commensurate with the level of these investments as compared to total pre-tax income.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Investment Securities

The investment securities portfolio is used by management to provide liquidity, to generate interest income and for use as collateral for public deposits and wholesale funding. Risk and return can be adjusted by altering the duration, composition and/or balance of the portfolio. The expected average life of securities in the investment portfolio was 2.5 years and 2.6 years as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Available-for-sale securities are recorded at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains or losses recognized, net of taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. As of September 30, 2020, available-for-sale securities totaled $85.7 million, or 91.7% of the total investment portfolio, compared to $94.0 million, or 86.8% of the total investment portfolio, as of December 31, 2019. Available-for-sale securities consisted of residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds and obligations of state and political subdivisions.

Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost and represent securities that the Company both intends and has the ability to hold to maturity. As of September 30, 2020, held-to-maturity securities totaled $7.7 million, or 8.3% of the total investment portfolio, compared to $14.3 million, or 13.2% of the total investment portfolio, as of December 31, 2019. Held-to-maturity securities consisted of commercial mortgage-backed securities, obligations of U.S. government-sponsored agencies and obligations of states and political subdivisions.

Deposits

Total deposits increased by 9.0% to $745.3 million as of September 30, 2020, from $683.7 million as of December 31, 2019. Core deposits, which exclude time deposits of $250 thousand or more, provide a relatively stable funding source that supports earning assets. Core deposits increased to $721.2 million, or 96.8% of total deposits, as of September 30, 2020, compared to $635.5 million, or 93.0% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2019. The deposit growth during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflected the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on both business and consumer deposit holders, including preferences for liquidity, loan payment deferrals, tax payment deferrals, stimulus checks and lower consumer spending. Of the total increase in deposits, $40.2 million represented non-interest-bearing deposits, while $21.5 million were interest-bearing deposits.

Deposits, in particular core deposits, have historically been the Company’s primary source of funding and have enabled the Company to successfully meet both short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Management anticipates that such deposits will continue to be the Company’s primary source of funding in the future. We will continue to monitor deposit levels closely to help ensure an adequate level of funding for the Company’s activities. However, various economic and competitive factors could affect this funding source in the future, including increased competition from other financial institutions in deposit gathering, national and local economic conditions and interest rate policies adopted by the Federal Reserve and other central banks.

Total interest-bearing deposits |  | $ | 591,810 |  |  |  | 0.67 | % |  | $ | 565,132 |  |  |  | 1.14 | % |  | $ | 579,517 |  |  |  | 0.83 | % |  | $ | 579,226 |  |  |  | 1.14 | %

Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities

Other interest-bearing liabilities consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances. This category continues to be utilized as an alternative source of funds. During the third quarter of 2020, these borrowings represented 1.7% of average interest-bearing liabilities, compared to 1.8% in the third quarter of 2019, and during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, these borrowings represented 1.7% of average interest-bearing liabilities, compared to 0.6% in the same period of 2019.

Shareholders’ Equity

The Company has historically placed significant emphasis on maintaining its strong capital base and continues to do so. As of September 30, 2020, shareholders’ equity totaled $85.7 million, or 10.0% of total assets, compared to $84.7 million, or 10.7% of total assets, as of December 31, 2019. Management believes that this level of equity is an indicator of the financial soundness of the Company and the Company’s ability to sustain future growth and profitability. Growth in retained earnings during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was offset by a decrease in additional paid-in capital, as well as an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with decreases in the fair value of cash flow hedges during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The fair value of the cash flow hedges fluctuates based on changes in interest rates. Accordingly, the negative fair value of the hedges during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is not necessarily indicative of future performance of the portfolio.

Bancshares’ Board of Directors evaluates dividend payments based on the Company’s level of earnings and the desire to maintain a strong capital base, as well as regulatory requirements relating to the payment of dividends. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Bancshares declared a dividend of $0.09 and $0.06 per common share, respectively, or approximately $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in aggregate amount.

As of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company retained approximately $21.9 million in treasury stock. The Company initiated a share repurchase program in January 2006, under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to 642,785 shares of Bancshares’ common stock before December 31, 2007. In December 2007, and in each year since, the Board of Directors has extended the expiration date of the share repurchase program for an additional year. Currently, the share repurchase program is set to expire on December 31, 2020. There were 54,961 shares available for repurchase under this program as of September 30, 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, 38,604 shares were repurchased under this program at a weighted average price of $11.70 per share, or $0.5 million in total. During the year ended December 31, 2019, 148,738 shares were repurchased under this program at a weighted average price of $9.94 per share, or $1.5 million in total. Share repurchases under the program may be made through open market and privately negotiated transactions at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a total of 108,473 and 124,392 shares of stock, respectively, were deferred in connection with Bancshares’ Non-Employee Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan. The plan permits non-employee directors to invest their directors’ fees and to receive the adjusted value of the deferred amounts in cash or shares of Bancshares common stock. All deferred fees, whether in the form of cash or shares of Bancshares common stock, are reflected as compensation expense in the period earned. The Company classifies all deferred directors’ fees allocated to be paid in shares of stock as equity additional paid-in capital. The Company may use issued shares or shares of treasury stock to satisfy these obligations when due.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily from the following sources: (1) excess cash and interest-bearing deposits in banks, (2) federal funds sold, (3) principal payments and maturities of loans and (4) principal payments and maturities from the investment portfolio. Loans maturing or repricing in one year or less amounted to $95.3 million as of September 30, 2020 and $125.9 million as of December 31, 2019. Investment securities forecasted to mature or reprice in one year or less were estimated to be $10.5 million and $6.9 million of the investment portfolio as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Although some securities in the investment portfolio have legal final maturities exceeding 10 years, a substantial percentage of the portfolio provides monthly principal and interest payments and consists of securities that are readily marketable and easily convertible into cash on short notice. As of September 30, 2020, the investment securities portfolio had an estimated average life of 2.5 years. However, management does not rely solely upon the investment portfolio to generate cash flows to fund loans, capital expenditures, dividends, debt repayment and other cash requirements. These activities are also funded by cash flows from loan payments, as well as increases in deposits and short-term borrowings.

The liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity through interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposit accounts, which represent the Company’s primary sources of funds. In addition, federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short-term and long-term borrowings are additional sources of available liquidity. Liquidity management involves the continual monitoring of the sources and uses of funds to maintain an acceptable cash position. Long-term liquidity management focuses on considerations related to the total balance sheet structure. The Bank manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a desired deposit balance. In addition, the Bank invests in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.

As of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $10.0 million of outstanding borrowings under FHLB advances. The Company had up to $233.6 million and $211.5 million in remaining unused credit from the FHLB (subject to available collateral) as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In addition, the Company had $61.6 million and $61.7 million in unused established federal funds lines as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Management believes that the Company has adequate sources of liquidity to cover its contractual obligations and commitments over the next twelve months.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The primary purpose of managing interest rate risk is to invest capital effectively and preserve the value created by our core banking business. This is accomplished through the development and implementation of lending, funding, pricing and hedging strategies designed to maximize net interest income performance under varying interest rate environments, subject to liquidity and interest rate risk guidelines. Effective interest rate sensitivity management ensures that both assets and liabilities respond to changes in interest rates within an acceptable timeframe, thereby minimizing the effect of such interest rate movements on short- and long-term net interest margin and net interest income.

Financial simulation models are the primary tools used by the Asset/Liability Committee of the Bank’s board of directors to measure interest rate exposure. Using a wide range of scenarios, management is provided with extensive information on the potential impact on net interest income caused by changes in interest rates. In these simulations, assumptions are made about the direction and volatility of interest rates, the slope of the yield curve and the changing composition of the Company’s balance sheet resulting from both strategic plans and customer behavior. Simulation models also incorporate management’s assumptions regarding such factors as loan and deposit growth, pricing, prepayment speeds and spreads between interest rates.

Assessing Short-Term Interest Rate Risk – Net Interest Margin Simulation

On a monthly basis, management simulates how changes in short- and long-term interest rates will impact future profitability, as reflected by changes in the Bank’s net interest margin and net interest income. The tables below depict how, as of September 30, 2020, pre-tax net interest margin and net interest income are forecasted to change over timeframes of six months, one year, two years and five years under the four listed interest rate scenarios. The interest rate scenarios contemplate immediate and parallel shifts in short- and long-term interest rates.

Average Change in Net Interest Margin from Level Interest Rate Forecast (basis points, pre-tax):

|  | 6 Months |  |  | 1 Year |  |  | 2 Years |  |  | 5 Years |
+1% |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 6 |  |  |  | 18 |

Assessing Long-Term Interest Rate Risk – Market Value of Equity and Estimating Modified Durations for Assets and Liabilities

On a monthly basis, management calculates how changes in interest rates would impact the market value of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The process is similar to assessing short-term risk but emphasizes and is measured over a longer period, approximately five to seven years, which allows for a more comprehensive assessment of longer-term repricing and cash flow imbalances that may not be captured by short-term net interest margin simulations. The results of these calculations are representative of long-term interest rate risk in terms of changes in the present value of the Company’s assets and liabilities.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Bancshares maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Bancshares’ reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Bancshares’ management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Bancshares’ management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Bancshares’ disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2020, pursuant to the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, Bancshares’ management concluded, as of September 30, 2020, that Bancshares’ disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in Bancshares’ periodic filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in Bancshares’ internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is a party to certain ordinary course litigation, and the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in all such litigation. In the opinion of the Company, based on review and consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such ordinary course litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS

A list of factors that could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results is included in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in Bancshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. There have been no material changes to such risk factors, other than as described in the risk factors below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic has adversely impacted our business, and the ultimate effect on our business, liquidity, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including the severity, scope and duration of the pandemic, its cumulative economic effects and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.

Beginning in 2020, the global pandemic related to COVID-19 began to impact the worldwide economy and our results of operations. Because of the size and breadth of this pandemic, all of the direct and indirect consequences of COVID-19 are not yet known and may not emerge for some time. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may for some time continue to result, in illness, increased unemployment, temporary closures of many businesses, disruption to trade, travel, employee productivity and other economic activities, and destabilization of financial markets and economic activity. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the governments of the states in which we operate, and of most other states, have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes, and ordering temporary closures of businesses that have been deemed to be non-essential. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operational and financial performance is currently uncertain, cannot be predicted and will depend on certain developments, including, among others, the severity, scope and duration of the pandemic, its impact on our customers, employees and vendors, and the continued governmental, regulatory and private sector responses, which may be precautionary, to the coronavirus.

Risks presented by the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic include the following:

| • | Impact to Financial Markets. There has been, and we may continue to experience, significant volatility in U.S. financial markets, including equity, fixed-income and commodity markets, and in our investment securities portfolio. Actual and potential declines in the credit quality of our loan portfolio, owing to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the markets that we serve, caused us to increase our loan loss provision during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and may lead to further increased provisions for loan losses and increases in our allowance for loan and lease losses. Even after the pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy may experience a recession, and the Company anticipates that the Company’s businesses would be materially and adversely affected by a prolonged recession.

| • | Interest Rate Environment. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a number of Federal Reserve actions. Market interest rates have declined significantly, which has caused a decrease in our net interest margin. We expect that these reductions in interest rates, especially if prolonged, could continue to adversely affect our net interest income and margins and our profitability.

| • | Loan Deferments and At-Risk Loans. The Company has implemented initiatives, and may implement additional or expanded initiatives, to provide short-term payment relief to borrowers who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19, such as a deferral of loan payments and the suspension of foreclosures due to unfavorable market conditions. In accordance with the Company’s uniform framework for establishing and monitoring credit risk, management will continue to closely evaluate all loans that request and receive COVID-19 deferments or that are considered to be “at-risk” with respect to the pandemic. However, there continues to be a significant level of uncertainty as to the ultimate impact that the pandemic will have on these borrowers, and such initiatives or accommodations may have a negative impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, revenues and results of operations in the near term and, if not effective in mitigating the effect of COVID-19 on the Company’s customers, may adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations more substantially over a longer period of time. Loan modifications and payment deferrals may also increase our credit risks.

| • | Impact on our Customers’ Financial Condition. The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations generally rely upon the ability of the Company’s borrowers to repay their loans, the value of collateral underlying those loans, and demand for loans and other products and services that the Company offers, which are highly dependent on the business environment in the Company’s primary markets and the U.S. economy as a whole. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy, including credit deterioration and defaults in many industries, including natural resources, hospitality, transportation and commercial real estate, we could have an increase in customer delinquencies and loan defaults, including defaults on unsecured loans, credit losses in the

56

|  | Company’s loan portfolio, and further increases in our allowance for loan losses and foreclosures. Declines in the net worth and liquidi ty of borrowers and loan guarantors could impair their ability to honor commitments to us. Customers may draw on lines of credit, which could impact our liquidity or cause us to pay higher rates than normal for deposits and other funding. Further, the Comp any’s loan deferment program could make it difficult to identify the extent of asset quality deterioration, or otherwise delay the identification of such deterioration, during the deferment period.

| • | Reduced Demand. There has been and may continue to be reduced consumer spending resulting from job losses, from businesses being deemed to be “non-essential” by governments in the markets that the Bank serves, and from “non-essential” and “essential” businesses suffering adverse effects from reduced levels of economic activity in the Company’s markets from and other effects attributable to the pandemic. Reduced demand for the Bank’s banking products and services could negatively impact, among other things, our liquidity, regulatory capital and growth strategy. Our asset size and the amounts of deposits have and may continue to fluctuate significantly based on changes in the financial behaviors of our deposit customers.

| • | Regulation. The effects of government fiscal and monetary policies on the economy and financial stability, generally, and on our business, results of operations and financial condition cannot be predicted.

| • | Business Disruption. The Company and the Bank have experienced, and may continue to experience, disruptions to the conduct of business due to the following:

| o | Adverse effects to employees’ health, which may necessitate their recovery away from work;

| o | Shelter in place, or other restrictions and interruptions of our business and contact with our customers;

| o | Unavailability of key personnel necessary to conduct the Company’s and the Bank’s business activities;

| o | Sustained closures of our branch lobbies or the offices of our customers;

| o | Inability to provide customer support; and

| o | Inability of vendors and third-party service providers to work or provide services effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic.

As we sought to protect the health and safety of our employees and customers during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we took numerous actions to modify our business operations, including restricting employee travel, directing a significant percentage of our employees that were able to do so to work from home, closing the lobbies of many of our branches, and, in some cases, the branch itself, and implementing our business continuity plans and protocols. We may take further protective actions in the future either of our own volition or as a result of government orders or directives. Although we believe that we have been able to adequately service our customers under these restrictions, we cannot provide any assurances that our ability to do so would not be negatively impacted if additional restrictions are necessary or imposed on us in the future. If the Company is unable to recover from a business disruption on a timely basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. The Company may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions, which could further adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

| • | Security Concerns. The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to or resulted in heightened cybersecurity, information security and operational risks as a result of work-from-home arrangements and increased levels of remote access. Cybercriminals may increase their attempts to compromise business and consumer e-mails, including an increase in phishing attempts, and fraudulent vendors or other parties may view the pandemic as an opportunity to prey upon consumers and businesses during this time. This could result in increased fraud losses to us or our customers. The increase in online and remote banking activities may also increase the risk of fraud against our customers.

| • | Increase in Expenses. In the near-term, non-interest expense may increase due to expenditures incurred by the Company in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Such expenses could include salary and employee benefits payments for increased work levels in response to the pandemic, costs to modify office space and retail banking centers to protect the safety of employees and customers, and expenses incurred to upgrade the Company’s technological systems to enhance remote interactions between employees and customers, as well as to respond to emerging threats associated with cybersecurity.

Any of the above events could cause, contribute to or exacerbate the risks and uncertainties enumerated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 or otherwise in this report, and could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. We have implemented our business contingency plan and taken other precautions with respect to the COVID-19 global pandemic. However, such measures may not adequately protect our business from the full impacts of the pandemic.

Since the Bank is a participating lender in the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), the Company and the Bank are subject to additional risks of litigation from the Bank’s customers or other parties regarding the Bank’s processing of loans for the PPP and risks that the SBA may not fund some or all PPP loan guarant e es.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the CARES Act, which included a $349 billion loan program administered through the SBA referred to as the PPP. Under the PPP, small businesses and other entities and individuals can apply for loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders that enroll in the program, subject to numerous limitations and eligibility criteria. The Bank is participating as a lender in the PPP. The PPP opened on April 3, 2020; however, because of the short timeframe between the passing of the CARES Act and the opening of the PPP, there was and is some ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP, which exposes the Company to risks relating to noncompliance with the PPP. On or about April 16, 2020, the SBA notified lenders that the $349 billion earmarked for the PPP was exhausted. Congress approved approximately $310 billion of additional funding for the PPP on April 24, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had obtained approval from the SBA for 167 loans to small businesses, with an aggregate principal balance of $14.0 million.

Since the opening of the PPP, several other larger banks have been subject to litigation regarding the process and procedures that such banks used in processing applications for the PPP. The Company and the Bank may be exposed to the risk of 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 the Company or the Bank and is not resolved in a manner favorable to the Company or the Bank, it may result in significant financial liability or adversely affect the Company’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.

The Bank also has credit risk on PPP loans, if the SBA determines deficiencies in the manner in which PPP loans were originated, funded or serviced by the Bank, such as an issue with the eligibility of a borrower to receive a PPP loan, including those related to the ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the PPP’s operation. In the event of a loss resulting from a default on a PPP loan and a determination by the SBA that there were deficiencies in the manner in which the PPP loan was originated, funded or serviced by the Company, the SBA may deny its liability under the PPP loan 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 the Company. Similar issues may also result in the denial of forgiveness of PPP loans, which would adversely affect and could result in losses, including possible bankruptcies, which may expose us to further costs and potential losses.
