CALIFORNIA BANCORP

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Organization

California BanCorp (the “Company”, or ‘we”), a California corporation headquartered in Oakland, California, is the bank holding company for its wholly-owned subsidiary California Bank of Commerce (the “Bank”). The Bank has 2 full service branches in California located in Contra Costa County and Santa Clara County and 4 loan production offices in California located in Alameda County, Contra Costa County, Sacramento County, and Santa Clara County.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all footnotes as would be necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2020.

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and to general practices within the banking industry.

Subsequent Events

Management has reviewed all events through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were filed with the SEC. See Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Use of Estimates

Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The estimates utilized to determine the appropriate allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2020 may be materially different from actual results due to the COVID-19 pandemic. See Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reclassifications

Certain prior balances in the unaudited consolidated financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders’ equity.

9

Specifically, we have modified how we disclose our loan segments to be purpose-based versus collateral-based (as previously disclosed) so that there is more transparency to our SBA loan portfolio which now consists largely of Paycheck Protection Program loans under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). As a result, prior balances for both the current and prior year in the unaudited consolidated statements have been reclassified. These reclassifications had no effect on current or prior year net income, shareholders’ equity, total gross loan balances, or the overall balance of the allowance for credit losses.

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic earnings per common share represents the amount of earnings for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Basic EPS is computed based upon net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. In determining the weighted average number of shares outstanding, vested restricted stock units are included. Diluted EPS represents the amount of earnings for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding including common stock that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted EPS is computed based upon net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, adjusted for the effect of dilutive potential common shares, such as restricted stock awards and units, calculated using the treasury stock method.

New Financial Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)” (“ASU 2019-12”) removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 and clarifying and amending existing guidance to provide for more consistent application. ASU 2019-12 will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The guidance is to replace the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables, held-to maturity debt securities, and reinsurance receivables. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor. In October of 2019, the FASB approved a proposal to defer implementation of the CECL model by smaller reporting companies to January 1, 2023. The Company currently qualifies for this deferral and has elected to defer adoption but has also taken steps to effect implementation of the guidance including: (1) forming a CECL Committee; (2) engaging a third party vendor to develop models and model assumptions; (3) established initial framework for portfolio segmentation for application of the models; and (4) received preliminary results for consideration and evaluation. The Company will continue to calibrate and validate its approach during the period of deferral.

2. INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The following table summarizes the amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available for sale at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

			Gross		Gross			Estimated
	Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized			Fair

(Dollars in thousands)

Government agencies		2,444		—		(5	)		2,439

Total available for sale securities	$	49,794	$	1,204	$	(92	)	$	50,906

Government agencies		7,824		9		—			7,833
Corporate bonds		—		—		—			—
Total available for sale securities	$	28,115	$	445	$	(5	)	$	28,555

Net unrealized gains on available for sale investment securities totaling $1.1 million and $440,000 were recorded, net of deferred tax assets, as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company purchased 8 securities for $35.4 million and sold 6 available for sale securities for total proceeds of $7.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company did not purchase or sell available for sale investment securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The following table summarizes securities with unrealized losses at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 aggregated by major security type and length of time in a continuous unrealized loss position.

	Less Than 12 Months					More Than 12 Months				Total

Corporate bonds		—		—			—		—		—		—
Total available for sale securities	$	2,079	$	(5)		$	—	$	—	$	2,079	$	(5)

At September 30, 2020 the Company’s investment security portfolio consisted of 23 securities, three of which (government agency securities) were in an unrealized loss position at quarter end. Management believes that changes in the market value since purchase are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and relative illiquidity. Because the Company does not intend to sell and is unlikely to be required to sell until a recovery of fair value, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2020.

At December 31, 2019, the Company’s investment security portfolio consisted of 21 securities, two of which were in an unrealized loss position at year end. One security was a government agency security issued by the Small Business Administration. One security was a Mortgage-Backed-Security. Management believes that changes in the market value of its Mortgage-Backed-Securities since purchase are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and relative illiquidity and not credit quality. Because the Company does not intend to sell and unlikely to be required to sell until a recovery of fair value, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2019.

The following table summarizes the scheduled maturities of available for sale investment securities as of September 30, 2020.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities are shown by contractual maturity. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. As such, mortgage backed securities and government agencies are not included in the maturity categories above and instead are shown separately as securities not due at a single maturity date.

4. BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has a borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (FRB) under which advances are secured by portions of the Bank’s loan and investment securities portfolios. The Company’s credit limit varies according to the amount and composition of the assets pledged as collateral. At September 30, 2020, amounts pledged and available borrowing capacity under such limits were approximately $557.4 million and $472.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 2019, amounts pledged and available borrowing capacity under such limits were approximately $193.7 million and $127.3 million, respectively. In April 2020, the Company secured a $332.7 million Paycheck Protection Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) term borrowing for two years maturing in April 2022 at a fixed rate of 0.35%.

The Company has a borrowing arrangement with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) under which advances are secured by portions of the Bank’s loan portfolio. The Bank’s credit limit varies according to its total assets and the amount and composition of the loan portfolio pledged as collateral. At September 30, 2020, amounts pledged and available borrowing capacity under such limits were approximately $236.8 million and $170.8 million, respectively. At December 31, 2019, amounts pledged and available borrowing capacity under such limits were approximately $188.8 million and $133.8 million, respectively. In June 2019, the Company secured a $10.0 million FHLB term borrowing for two years maturing in June 2021 at a fixed rate of 1.89%. In May 2020, the Company secured a $5.0 million FHLB term borrowing for one year maturing in May 2021 at a fixed rate of 0.00%, and another $5.0 million FHLB term borrowing for six months maturing in November 2020 at a fixed rate of 0.00%.

Under agreements with several correspondent banks, the Company can borrow up to $61.0 million. In a separate agreement, the Company can borrow up to $10.0 million or the total market value of securities pledged to a correspondent bank under a repurchase agreement. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 there were no investment securities pledged to the correspondent bank under this agreement. There were no borrowings outstanding under these arrangements at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The Company maintains a revolving line of credit with a commitment of $3.0 million for a six month term at a rate of Prime plus 0.40%. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no borrowings were outstanding under this line of credit.

18

After the fifth year, the interest rate changes to a quarterly variable rate equal to then current tree-month term SOFR plus 0.488%

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for loans included on the balance sheet.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements 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 some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, and deeds of trust on residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding commitments for loans of approximately $453.1 million and $390.0 million, respectively. Unfunded loan commitment reserves totaled $255,000 and $185,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Operating Leases

The Company leases various office premises under long-term operating lease agreements. These leases expire between 2020 and 2027, with certain leases containing either three, five, or seven year renewal options.

The following table reflects the quantitative information for the Company’s leases.

Rent expense included in premises and equipment expense totaled $1.9 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Contingencies

The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Correspondent Banking Agreements

The Company maintains funds on deposit with other federally insured financial institutions under correspondent banking agreements. Insured financial institution deposits up to $250,000 are fully insured by the FDIC under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules.

At September 30, 2020, uninsured deposits at financial institutions were approximately $483.3 million. At December 31, 2019, uninsured deposits at financial institutions were approximately $4.0 million.

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Valuations within these levels are based upon:

Level 1—Quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active exchange markets.

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use on pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include management judgment and estimation which may be significant.

20

Management monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.

Management evaluates the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

	Carrying		Fair Value Measurements

These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument for sale at one time, nor do they attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business related to the instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

Cash and Due from banks—The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

Investment Securities—Since quoted prices are generally not available for identical securities, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities on similar dates, resulting in Level 2 classification.

FHLB, IBFC, PCBB Stock—It is not practical to determine the fair value of these correspondent bank stocks due to restrictions placed on their transferability.

Loans—Fair values of loans for September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are estimated on an exit price basis with contractual cash flow, prepayments, discount spreads, credit loss and liquidity premium assumptions. Loans with similar characteristics such as prepayment rates, terms and rate indexed are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.

21

Impaired loans—Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses that are secured by real property is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of impaired loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

Deposits—The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate and fixed-term money market accounts approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in Level 1 classification. Fair values of fixed rate certificates of deposit are calculation of the estimated remaining cash flows was discounted to the date of the valuation to calculate the fair value (premium)/discount on the portfolio that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates for the San Francisco Bay Area to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in Level 2 classification.

FHLB Advances—FHLB Advances are included in Other Borrowings. Fair values for FHLB Advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates offered at each reporting date by correspondent banks for advances with similar maturities resulting in Level 3 classification.

Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF)—The fair value of PPPLF is estimated using a discounted cash flow based on the remaining contractual term and current rates at which similar advances would be obtained resulting in Level 3 classification.

Senior Notes—Fair values for senior notes are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current rates for similar types of debt which may be unobservable, and considering recent trading activity of similar instruments in market which can be inactive and accordingly are classified within in the Level 3 classification.

Subordinated Debt—Fair values for subordinated debt are calculated based on its terms and were discounted to the date of the valuation to calculate the fair value on the debt. A market rate based on recent debt offering by peer bank was used to discount cash flow until reprice date and subsequently cash flow were discounted at Prime plus 2% for its security. These assumptions which may be unobservable, and considering recent trading activity of similar instruments in market which can be inactive and accordingly are classified within the Level 3 classification.

Accrued Interest Receivable—The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 classification for accrued interest receivable on investment securities and a Level 3 classification for accrued interest receivable on loans since investment securities are generally classified using Level 2 inputs and loans are generally classified using Level 3 inputs.

Accrued Interest Payable—The carrying amounts of accrued interest payable approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 classification, since accrued interest payable is from deposits that are generally classified using Level 2 inputs.

Off Balance Sheet Instruments—Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

Fair values for available-for-sale investment securities are based on quoted market prices for exact or similar securities. During the periods presented, there were no significant transfers in or out of Levels 1 and 2 and there were no changes in the valuation techniques used.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value which was below cost at the reporting date. The following table summarizes impaired loans measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

	Carrying		Fair Value Measurements
(Dollars in thousands)	Amount		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
As of September 31, 2020
Impaired loans - Commercial	$	346	$	—	$	—	$	346
Impaired loans - SBA	$	234	$	—	$	—	$	234
Total assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis	$	580	$	—	$	—	$	580

Impaired loans - SBA		296						296
Total assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis	$	3,475	$	—	$	—	$	3,475

The fair value of impaired loans is based upon independent market prices, estimated liquidation values of loan collateral or appraised value of the collateral as determined by third-party independent appraisers, less selling costs, generally. Level 3 fair value measurement includes other real estate owned that has been measured at fair value upon transfer to foreclosed assets and impaired loans collateralized by real property and other business asset collateral where a specific reserve has been established or a charged-off has been recorded. The unobservable inputs and qualitative information about the unobservable inputs are based on managements’ best estimates of appropriate discounts in arriving at fair market value. Increases or decreases in any of those inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. For example, a change in either direction of actual loss rates would have a directionally opposite change in the calculation of the fair value of impaired loans.

7. BUSINESS IMPACT OF COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. The COVID-19 virus continues to aggressively spread globally and has spread to over 185 countries, including all 50 states in the United States. A prolonged COVID-19 outbreak, or any other epidemic that harms the global economy, U.S. economy, or the economies in which we operate could adversely affect our operations. While the spread of the COVID-19 virus has minimally impacted our operations as of September 30, 2020, it has caused significant economic disruption throughout the United States as state and local governments issued “shelter at home” orders along with the closing of non-essential businesses. The potential financial impact is unknown at this time. However, if these actions are sustained, it may adversely impact several industries within our geographic footprint and impair the ability of our customers to fulfill their contractual obligations to the Company. This could result in a material adverse effect on our business operations, asset valuations, financial condition, and results of operations. Material adverse impacts may include all or a combination of valuation impairments for investments, loans, and intangible assets.

Investments

Management has analyzed the investment portfolio and determined that any impairment would be temporary based on the type of investments the company holds.

As part of the Company’s assessment of other-than-temporary-impairment (OTTI), management considered coronavirus COVID-19 and determined that the significant change in the general economic environment and financial markets represents an interim impairment indicator that will require continued evaluation. As a result, there is a reasonable possibility that OTTI could occur in the near term.

Loan Portfolio

The Company has taken measures to both support customers affected by the pandemic and to maintain strong asset quality, including implementing a broad-based risk management strategy to manage credit segments on a real-time basis, and monitoring portfolio risk and related mitigation strategies also by segment.

The CARES Act and the revised interagency guidance issued in April 2020, “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working With Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised)”, provide banks the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under GAAP related to Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) for a limited time to account for the effects of COVID-19. As a result, the Company will not be recognizing eligible COVID-19 loan modifications as TDRs. Additionally, loans qualifying for these modifications will not be required to be reported as delinquent, nonaccrual, impaired or criticized solely as a result of a COVID-19 loan modification. However, management continues to evaluate these loans for performance criteria separate from their respective COVID-19 loan modification status. Through the date of this filing, the Company has not experienced any loan charge-offs caused by the economic impact from COVID-19. Management has evaluated events related to COVID-19 that have occurred subsequent to September 30, 2020 and has concluded there are no matters that would require recognition in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Proactive Deferral Program:

As a result of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, through September 30, 2020 the Company granted payment deferments on approximately 385 loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $323.9 million and aggregate monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $3.7 million, none of which are considered to be TDRs, based on the relief provided under the CARES Act described above. The payment deferments were granted initially for up to 90 days, and the Company has considered an additional 90 days based on the circumstances on both a macro and micro level at the time. Of the initial deferments, 6 borrowers with 8 loans totaling $12.5 million have applied for an additional 90 day extension. As of the date of this filing, with the exception of these 8 loans, all loans that encompassed the original deferment pool have returned to a normal payment schedule.

24

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP):

The Company is also participating in the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Key Features of the PPP include:

• 24-month term

• Interest-rate of 1%, deferred payments for the first 6-months

• The loan will be fully forgiven if the funds are used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities (due to likely high subscription, at least 75% of the forgiven amount must have been used for payroll). No collateral or personal guarantees are required. Neither the government nor lenders will charge any fees.

• Forgiveness is based on the employer maintaining or quickly rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels. Forgiveness will be reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages decrease.

• Loans are guaranteed by the United States Treasury Department

The Company processed 100% of the approximately 737 applications received and all of the eligible applications that were submitted to the SBA received approval. At September 30, 2020, the balance of the loans funded under the PPP was $362.0 million.

The following table reflects the concentration of loans funded through the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) as of September 30, 2020.

	Number of		Principal		Number of Loans as a % of						Principal Balance as a % of
(Dollars in millions)	Loans		Balance		PPP Loans			Gross Loans			PPP Loans			Gross Loans
Dental services		284	$	42.8		39	%		14	%		12	%		3	%
Contractors		114		138.0		16	%		6	%		38	%		10	%
Other		333		181.2		46	%		15	%		50	%		13	%
Total		731	$	362.0		100	%		35	%		100	%		26	%

The PPP loans categorized above as “other” are comprised of multiple sectors, including professional/scientific services, retail, manufacturing, finance, wholesale, and real estate.

The SBA began accepting client applications for loan forgiveness in August 2020. The Company has submitted 43 client applications to the SBA totaling $32.2 million. As of the date of this filing, clients representing an additional 174 loans totaling $120.7 million are in the process of completing loan forgiveness applications.

Impact of Response to COVID-19 Pandemic

Specific impacts of the COVID-19 macroeconomic environment on our operating results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 include the following:

• Funding of loans under the PPP and related borrowing under the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) provided net benefit to net interest income of $1.4 million and $2.8 million during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, including the impact of amortization of deferred fees and origination costs.

• The Company received $9.1 million in fees year-to-date related to the origination of PPP loans. Recognition of the fees was deferred at origination and is being recognized over the 24 month term of the loans. For the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company amortized into interest income approximately $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively. As clients are accepted for loan forgiveness by the SBA, the remaining fees will be recognized at the time of payoff of the loan.

• The Company deferred loan origination costs of approximately $2.5 million year-to-date related to PPP loans which are being amortized over the remaining term of the PPP loans. Additionally, the Company deferred loan origination costs of approximately $1.7 million year-to-date related to loan modifications which are being amortized over the remaining term of the modified loans. For the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, amortized into interest income approximately $312,000 and $625,000, respectively.

25

• The continued uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the pandemic and related economic effects considered in our qualitative assessment of the allowance for loan losses resulted in a gross increase in the provision for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 of approximately $1.1 million and 3.3 million, respectively. Our overall analysis of the allowance for loan losses considers multiple qualitative factors that may, in part, offset the gross impact on the provision specifically related to COVID-19.

Goodwill

The Company completed an impairment analysis of goodwill as of September 30, 2020 and determined there was no impairment.

Goodwill impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, which is determined through a qualitative assessment whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of equity of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value (“Step Zero”).

As part of the Company’s qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment, management considered the triggering event of coronavirus COVID-19 and determined that the significant change in the general economic environment and financial markets, including our market capitalization, represents an interim impairment indicator that will require continued evaluation. However, we do not believe that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists as of September 30, 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of our financial condition at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 14, 2020 (our “Annual Report”) and with the accompanying unaudited notes to consolidated financial statements set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020 (this “Report”). Because we conduct all of our material business operations through our bank subsidiary, California Bank of Commerce, the discussion and analysis relates to activities primarily conducted by the Bank.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements contained in this Report that are not historical facts or that discuss our expectations, beliefs or views regarding our future operations or future financial performance, or financial or other trends in our business or in the markets in which we operate, and our future plans constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Often, they include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.” The information contained in such forward-looking statements is based on current information available to us and on assumptions that we make about future economic and market conditions and other events over which we do not have control. In addition, our business and the markets in which we operate are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties, and the occurrence of events in the future or changes in circumstances that had not been anticipated, could cause our financial condition or actual operating results in the future to differ materially from our expected financial condition or operating results that are set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this Report and could, therefore, also affect the price performance of our shares.

In addition to the risk of incurring loan losses and provision for loan losses, which is an inherent risk of the banking business, these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: deteriorating economic conditions and macroeconomic factors such as unemployment rates and the volume of bankruptcies, as well as changes in monetary, fiscal or tax policy to address the impact of COVID-19, any of which could cause us to incur additional loan losses and adversely affect our results of operations in the future; the risk that the credit quality of our borrowers declines; potential declines in the value of the collateral for secured loans; the risk of a recession in the United States economy, and domestic or international economic conditions, which could cause us to incur additional loan losses and adversely affect our results of operations in the future; the risk that our interest margins and, therefore, our net interest income will be adversely affected by changes in prevailing interest rates; the risk that we will not be able to manage our interest rate risks effectively, in which event our operating results could be harmed; risks associated with seeking new client relationships and maintaining existing client relationships; and the prospect of changes in government regulation of banking and other financial services organizations, which could impact our costs of doing business and restrict our ability to take advantage of business and growth opportunities. Many of the foregoing risks and uncertainties are, and will be, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and any worsening of the global business and economic environment as a result. Readers of this Report are encouraged to review the additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties to which our business is subject that is contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report and in Part II, Item 1A of this Report, as such information may be updated from time to time in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q that we file with the SEC. We urge you to read those risk factors in conjunction with your review of the following discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended, and our financial condition at, September 30, 2020.

Due to the risks and uncertainties we face, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, which speak only as of the date of this Report, or to make predictions about future performance based solely on historical financial performance. We also disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements contained in this Report as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may otherwise be required by law.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and with general practices within the financial services industry. Application of these principles requires management to make complex and subjective estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under current circumstances. These assumptions form the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from independent, objective sources. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Use of alternative assumptions may have resulted in significantly different estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Our most significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Note 1 to our unaudited financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a substantial disruption to the economy, as well as a heightened level of uncertainty about the scope and longevity of its impact. In response to the pandemic, we have implemented a multi-pronged approach to address the challenges caused by the effects of this pandemic. Our approach includes ensuring the safety of our employees and the communities that we serve and developing new and temporarily revised programs that are responsive to the needs of our loan and deposit customers. As we continue to closely monitor COVID-19 developments, we remain focused on our ability to navigate these challenging conditions and the underlying strength and stability of our Company. For information regarding the specific business impact to the Company regarding COVID-19, see Note 7 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial measures discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are considered non-GAAP financial measures. In accordance with SEC rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The following tables reflect the details of the non-GAAP financial measures the Company included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our statements of financial condition, results of income and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP. However, we acknowledge that our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other banking companies use. Other banking companies may use names similar to those we use for the non-GAAP financial measures we disclose, but may calculate them differently. You should understand how we and other companies each calculate their non-GAAP financial measures when making comparisons.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Overview

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net income was $495,000 compared to $2.0 million for the same period last year. The decrease of $1.5 million, or 75%, was primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for credit losses of $350,000, or 70%, combined with an increase in in other expenses of $2.1 million, or 26%, partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $755,000 or 7%.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings is the principal component of the Company’s earnings. Net interest income is affected by changes in the nature and volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities held during the quarter, the rates earned on such assets and the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2020, was $11.2 million, an increase of $755,000, or 7% over $10.4 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in interest income as the result of amortization totaling $1.1 million for fees collected on PPP loans, offset by lower yields on earning assets resulting from a decline in short-term interest rates and higher liquidity. In addition to the impact of PPP, the increase in net interest income was due to growth in average earning assets.

Average total interest-earning assets increased by $855.8 million, or 87% to $1.84 billion in the third quarter of 2020 from $987.3 million for the same period during 2019. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, growth in average deposits outpaced growth in average loans when compared to the same period of 2019 as the Company worked to strengthen liquidity. Average deposit balances for the three months ended September 30, 2020 grew $505.2 million, or 57%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2019, while average loans grew $395.9 million, or 43%, for the same period. As a result, the average loan to deposit ratio for the third quarter of 2020 was 94.0% down from 102.8% for the third quarter of 2019 and the yield on average earning assets decreased 220 basis points to 2.85% from 5.05%.

In addition, the average yield on total average gross loans in the three months ended September 30, 2020 was 3.89%, a decrease of 134 basis points compared to 5.23% in the same period one year earlier. Excluding PPP loans, the average yield on total average gross loans in the three months ended September 30, 2020 was 5.12%.

Of the $505.2 million increase in average total deposit balances year over year, $271.9 million was attributable to noninterest-bearing deposits and $233.3 million was attributable to interest-bearing deposits. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.74% during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to 1.38% in the same quarter one year earlier. In addition, the overall cost of average total deposit balances decreased by 44 basis points to 0.42% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 0.86% in the third quarter of 2019.

As a result, the net interest margin decreased by 178 basis points to 2.41% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 4.19% for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by $631,000 in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, primarily due to amortization of loan fees collected on PPP loans and volume growth in average earning assets, and in particular an increase in loans. The increase in interest earned on our loan portfolio of $762,000 in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 was comprised of $1.3 million attributable to an approximate $395.9 million increase in average loans outstanding, offset by approximately $581,000 attributable to the decrease in the yield earned on loans to 3.89% from 5.23%.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $124,000 in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, primarily due to the effect of decreased rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and the decrease in borrowing rates due to the PPPLF term borrowing. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period one year earlier decreased 76 basis points to 0.69% from 1.45%.

Provision for Credit Losses

We made provisions for loan losses of $850,000 and $500,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We recorded net loan recoveries of $11,000 in the third quarter of 2020 compared to net loan charge-offs of $1.6 million during the same period of 2019. The allowance for loan loss as a percent of outstanding loans was 0.99% at September 30, 2020 and 1.12% at September 30, 2019. The decrease in the reserve percentage reflects the impact of PPP loans which are guaranteed by the SBA. The reserve percentage excluding PPP loans was 1.35% (See discussion in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Non-GAAP Financial Measures”). See further discussion of the Provision for Credit Losses and Allowance for Loan losses in “Financial Condition – Allowance for Loan Losses”.

Noninterest income decreased by $233,000 or 18% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to the third quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in gains on the sale of SBA loans.

Noninterest Expense

The following table reflects the major components of the Company’s noninterest expense.

	Three Months Ended

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, non-interest expenses increased by $2.1 million or 26% to $10.5 million compared to $8.4 million in the same period of 2019. Of this increase, $885,000 was in net salaries and benefits expense. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily related to hiring to support strategic expansion.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 also included increases in professional and legal fees related to implementation of FDICIA and SEC compliance controls and processes as well as the registration of the Company’s common shares, and occupancy and equipment from the expansion of facilities.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $326,000 for the third quarter of 2020 which compared to $791,000 for the same period one year earlier. The effective tax rates for those time periods were 39.7% and 28.3%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was the result of an adjustment to the amortization schedule of an individual low income housing tax credit investment.

Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Overview

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net income was $2.5 million compared to $6.4 million for the same period last year. The decrease of $3.9 million, or 61%, was primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for credit losses of $2.8 million, or 215%.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings is the principal component of the Company’s earnings. Net interest income is affected by changes in the nature and volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities held during the quarter, the rates earned on such assets and the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was $32.2 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 6% over $30.4 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in interest income as the result of amortization of fees collected on PPP loans, offset by lower yields on earning assets resulting from a decline in short-term interest rates and higher liquidity. In addition to the impact of PPP, the increase in net interest income was due to growth in average earning assets.

Average total interest-earning assets increased by $571.1 million, or 59% to $1.54 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $964.2 million for the same period during 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, growth in average deposits outpaced growth in average loans when compared to the same period of 2019 as the Company worked to strengthen liquidity. Average deposit balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 grew $375.3 million, or 43%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2019, while average loans grew $274.4 million, or 31%, for the same period. As a result, the average loan to deposit ratio for the first nine months of 2020 was 94.2% down from 103.4% for the same time period of 2019 and the yield on average earning assets decreased 170 basis points to 3.33% from 5.03%.

In addition, the average yield on total average gross loans in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 4.25%, a decrease of 96 basis points compared to 5.21% in the same period one year earlier. Excluding PPP loans, the average yield on total average gross loans in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 5.12%.

Of the $375.3 million increase in average total deposit balances year over year, $197.0 million was attributable to noninterest-bearing deposits and $178.4 million was attributable to interest-bearing deposits. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.94% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 1.29% in the same period one year earlier. In addition, the overall cost of average total deposit balances decreased by 25 basis points to 0.54% in the first nine months of 2020 compared to 0.79% in the in the same period of 2019.

As a result, the net interest margin decreased by 141 basis points to 2.80% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 4.21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by $2.0 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, primarily due to amortization of loan fees collected on PPP loans and volume growth in average earning assets, and in particular an increase in loans. The increase in interest earned on our loan portfolio of $2.3 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 was comprised of $3.6 million attributable to an approximate $274.43 million increase in average loans outstanding, offset by approximately $1.2 million attributable to the decrease in the yield earned on loans to 4.25% from 5.21%.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $199,000 in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, primarily due to the effect of growth in the deposit portfolio partially offset by decreased rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and the decrease in borrowing rates due to the PPPLF term borrowing. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the same period one year earlier decreased 53 basis points to .87% from 1.40%.

Provision for Credit Losses

We made provisions for loan losses of $4.2 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We recorded net loan charge-offs of $1.9 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to net loan charge-offs of $1.7 million during the same period of 2019. During the first nine months of 2020, the Company charged-off a legacy commercial loan that had been on nonaccrual status since the second quarter of 2019. The allowance for loan loss as a percent of outstanding loans was 0.99% at September 30, 2020 and 1.12% at September 30, 2019. The decrease in the reserve percentage reflects the impact of PPP loans which are guaranteed by the SBA. The reserve percentage excluding PPP loans was 1.35% (See discussion in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Non-GAAP Financial Measures”).

Financial Condition:

Overview

Total assets of the Company were $1.97 billion as of September 30, 2020 compared to $1.15 billion as of December 31, 2019. The increase in assets was driven by an increase in both the loan portfolio and federal funds sold. Growth in assets was primarily funded by growth in deposits and other borrowings.

Loan Portfolio

Our loan portfolio consists almost entirely of loans to customers who have a full banking relationship with us. Gross loan balances increased by $405.5 million or 43% from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020, primarily due to the loans funded under the PPP which were primarily classified as SBA loans. The loan portfolio at September 30, 2020 was comprised of approximately 28% of commercial and industrial loans compared to 41% at December 31, 2019. In addition, commercial real estate loans comprised 43% of our loans at September 30, 2020 compared to 57% at December 31, 2019. A substantial percentage of the commercial real estate loans are considered owner-occupied loans. Our loans are generated by our relationship managers and executives. Our senior management is actively involved in the lending, underwriting, and collateral valuation processes. Higher dollar loans or loan commitments are also approved through a bank loan committee comprised of executives and outside board members.

The following table reflects the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio and their percentage distribution.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets are comprised of loans on nonaccrual status, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, and other real estate owned. We had no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest and no other real estate owned at September 30, 2020. A loan is placed on nonaccrual status if there is concern that principal and interest may not be fully collected or if the loan has been past due for a period of 90 days or more, unless the obligation is both well secured and in process of legal collection. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on nonaccrual loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received and the loan’s principal balance is deemed collectible. Loans are returned to accrual status when they are brought current with respect to principal and interest payments and future payments are reasonably assured. Loans in which the borrower is encountering financial difficulties and we have modified the terms of the original loan are evaluated for impairment and classified as TDR loans. See “Part I – Financial Information, Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, Footnote 7 – Business Impact of COVID-19” for additional discussion of loan modifications that have occurred under the CARES Act.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Our allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management believes is adequate to account for probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio as of the reporting date. We determine the allowance based on a quarterly evaluation of risk. That evaluation gives consideration to the nature of the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, current economic and environmental conditions and risk assessments assigned to each loan as a result of our ongoing reviews of the loan portfolio. This process involves a considerable degree of judgment and subjectivity. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on judgments different from those of management.

Our allowance is established through charges to the provision for loan losses. Loans, or portions of loans, deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. Recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to our allowance for loan losses. The allowance is decreased by the reversal of prior provisions when the total allowance balance is deemed excessive for the risks inherent in the portfolio. The allowance for loan losses balance is neither indicative of the specific amounts of future charge-offs that may occur, nor is it an indicator of any future loss trends.

Our provision of $850,000 and $4.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflects an increase to qualitative assessments from the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as modest loan growth, offset by improvements in other qualitative assessments. As of September 30, 2020, our most direct potential exposure to the COVID-19 environment related to our dental practice acquisition loans, which are part of commercial loans, and we believe our actions to offer payment deferments and government guaranteed loans provides significant mitigation of risk in that segment. In addition, our assessment broadly anticipates that the most severe and direct impacts from the COVID-19 environment would manifest in consumer credit card and installment portfolios; segments of commercial loans related to consumer services; and real estate in heavily impacted segments such as retail strip malls, hospitality and restaurants. The provision reflects a heavier allocation toward commercial and installment loans due to COVID-19 and less toward real estate segments.

Investment Portfolio

Our investment portfolio is comprised of debt securities. We use two classifications for our investment portfolio: available-for-sale (AFS) and held-to-maturity (HTM). Securities that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held-to-maturity securities” and reported at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held-to-maturity securities are classified as “investment securities available-for-sale” and reported at fair value.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no held-to-maturity investments.

Our investments provide a source of liquidity as they can be pledged to support borrowed funds or can be liquidated to generate cash proceeds. The investment portfolio is also a significant resource to us in managing interest rate risk, as the maturity and interest rate characteristics of this asset class can be readily changed to match changes in the loan and deposit portfolios. The majority of our available-for-sale investment portfolio is comprised of mortgage-backed securities (MBSs) that are either issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) and corporate bonds.

The following table reflects the amortized cost and fair market values for the total portfolio for each of the categories of investments in our securities portfolio as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Deposits

Our deposits are generated through core customer relationships, related predominantly to business relationships. Many of our business customers maintain high levels of liquid balances in their demand deposit accounts and use the Bank’s treasury management services.

At September 30, 2020, approximately 44% of our deposits were in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. The balance of our deposits at September 30, 2020 were held in interest-bearing demand, savings and money market accounts and time deposits. More than 43% of total deposits were held in interest-bearing demand, savings and money market deposit accounts at September 30, 2020, which provide our customers with interest and liquidity. Time deposits comprised the remaining 13% of our deposits at September 30, 2020.

Information concerning average balances and rates paid on deposits by deposit type for the past two fiscal years is contained in the Distribution, Yield and Rate Analysis of Net Income table located in the previous section titled “Results of Operations—Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin”. The following table provides a comparative distribution of our deposits by outstanding balance as well as by percentage of total deposits at the dates indicated.

Liquidity

Our primary source of funding is deposits from our core banking relationships. The majority of the Bank’s deposits are transaction accounts or money market accounts that are payable on demand. A small number of customers represent a large portion of the Bank’s deposits, as evidenced by the fact that approximately 22% of deposits were represented by the 10 largest depositors as of September 30, 2020. We strive to manage our liquidity in a manner that enables us to meet expected and unexpected liquidity needs under both normal and adverse conditions. The Bank maintains significant on-balance sheet and off-balance liquidity sources, including a marketable securities portfolio and borrowing capacity through various secured and unsecured sources.

Capital Resources

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking regulators. Our capital management consists of providing equity to support our current operations and future growth. Failure to meet minimum regulatory capital requirements may result in mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting policies. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements, including the capital conservation buffer, and the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the minimums necessary to be considered ‘‘well-capitalized’’ for purposes of the FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations. At September 30, 2020, the capital conservation buffer was 2.50%.

At September 30, 2020, the Bank had a Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of 11.34%, a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 12.91%, and a leverage ratio of 7.95%. At December 31, 2019, the Bank had a Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of 10.38%, a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 11.79%, and a leverage ratio of 10.44%. On September 30, 2020, the Company issued and sold a 5.00% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated note due in 2030 with a principal amount of $20.0 million. The Company used the net proceeds to repay $12.0 million of outstanding indebtedness under a term loan, purchase a $2.0 million sub-debt investment and contributed $6.0 million to the Bank as additional Tier 1 capital.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

45

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management of the Company, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness as of September 30, 2020 of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. 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, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, because of a previously identified material weakness regarding the precision of review in SEC filings and financial reporting, as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Form 10-Q.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness we identified relates to the need for improved precision in the review of aspects of our SEC filings and financial reporting. Specifically, we did not have effective processes and procedures in place (1) to formally document management’s review of our financial statements and footnotes included in our SEC filings to ensure timeliness and accuracy of filings; (2) to consistently use checklists regarding Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and SEC disclosure requirements as part of the SEC filing process to ensure that required disclosures are complete and accurate; (3) to identify subsequent events during an open subsequent period necessary to ensure proper disclosure; and (4) to develop, maintain and review on a regular basis a listing of related parties, as defined by SEC Regulation S-K. While this deficiency did not result in a restatement of any previously reported interim consolidated financial statements, our management concluded there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness was initially identified during the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Management is in the process of addressing this weakness, which primarily includes the development and implementation of formalized procedures and controls as well as an increase in the capacity of management in this area. The remediation of this material weakness is ongoing and may necessitate implementation of additional measures. The material weakness will only be considered remediated when these controls have been performing as designed for a sufficient period of time.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, other than the material weakness remediation effort mentioned above, that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such controls.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are party to legal actions that are routine and incidental to our business. Given the nature, scope and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to our business, we, like all banking organizations, are subject to heightened regulatory compliance and legal risk. However, based on available information, management does not expect the ultimate disposition of any or a combination of these actions to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the risk factors that were disclosed in Item 1A, under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which we filed with the SEC on April 14, 2020, other than as follows.

Our participation in the SBA PPP loan program exposes us to risks related to noncompliance with the PPP, as well as litigation risk related to our administration of the PPP loan program, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are a participating lender in the PPP, a loan program administered through the SBA, that was created to help eligible businesses, organizations and self-employed persons fund their operational costs during the COVID-19 pandemic. We funded 737 PPP loans with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $362.0 million as of September 30, 2020. Under the PPP, the SBA guarantees 100% of the amounts loaned under the PPP. The PPP began very shortly after it was authorized as part of the CARES Act, and there is some ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the program, which exposes us to risks of noncompliance. In addition, a few other financial institutions have experienced litigation related to their process and procedures used in processing applications for the PPP. Any financial liability, regulatory enforcement, litigation costs or reputational damage stemming from our participation in the PPP and any related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may be exposed to credit risk on PPP loans to the extent that the SBA determines that there is a deficiency in the manner we originated, funded or serviced a PPP loan. If the SBA identifies a deficiency, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty for the affected loan or loans, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Nature of Operations

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Organization

California BanCorp (the “Company”, or ‘we”), a California corporation headquartered in Oakland, California, is the bank holding company for its wholly-owned subsidiary California Bank of Commerce (the “Bank”). The Bank has 2 full service branches in California located in Contra Costa County and Santa Clara County and 4 loan production offices in California located in Alameda County, Contra Costa County, Sacramento County, and Santa Clara County.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all footnotes as would be necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2020.

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and to general practices within the banking industry.

Subsequent Events

Management has reviewed all events through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were filed with the SEC. See Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Use of Estimates

Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The estimates utilized to determine the appropriate allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2020 may be materially different from actual results due to the COVID-19 pandemic. See Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reclassifications

Certain prior balances in the unaudited consolidated financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders’ equity.

Specifically, we have modified how we disclose our loan segments to be purpose-based versus collateral-based (as previously disclosed) so that there is more transparency to our SBA loan portfolio which now consists largely of Paycheck Protection Program loans under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). As a result, prior balances for both the current and prior year in the unaudited consolidated statements have been reclassified. These reclassifications had no effect on current or prior year net income, shareholders’ equity, total gross loan balances, or the overall balance of the allowance for credit losses.

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic earnings per common share represents the amount of earnings for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Basic EPS is computed based upon net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. In determining the weighted average number of shares outstanding, vested restricted stock units are included. Diluted EPS represents the amount of earnings for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding including common stock that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted EPS is computed based upon net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, adjusted for the effect of dilutive potential common shares, such as restricted stock awards and units, calculated using the treasury stock method.

New Financial Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)” (“ASU 2019-12”) removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 and clarifying and amending existing guidance to provide for more consistent application. ASU 2019-12 will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The guidance is to replace the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables, held-to maturity debt securities, and reinsurance receivables. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor. In October of 2019, the FASB approved a proposal to defer implementation of the CECL model by smaller reporting companies to January 1, 2023. The Company currently qualifies for this deferral and has elected to defer adoption but has also taken steps to effect implementation of the guidance including: (1) forming a CECL Committee; (2) engaging a third party vendor to develop models and model assumptions; (3) established initial framework for portfolio segmentation for application of the models; and (4) received preliminary results for consideration and evaluation. The Company will continue to calibrate and validate its approach during the period of deferral.

Net unrealized gains on available for sale investment securities totaling $1.1 million and $440,000 were recorded, net of deferred tax assets, as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company purchased 8 securities for $35.4 million and sold 6 available for sale securities for total proceeds of $7.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company did not purchase or sell available for sale investment securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The following table summarizes securities with unrealized losses at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 aggregated by major security type and length of time in a continuous unrealized loss position.

At September 30, 2020 the Company’s investment security portfolio consisted of 23 securities, three of which (government agency securities) were in an unrealized loss position at quarter end. Management believes that changes in the market value since purchase are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and relative illiquidity. Because the Company does not intend to sell and is unlikely to be required to sell until a recovery of fair value, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2020.

At December 31, 2019, the Company’s investment security portfolio consisted of 21 securities, two of which were in an unrealized loss position at year end. One security was a government agency security issued by the Small Business Administration. One security was a Mortgage-Backed-Security. Management believes that changes in the market value of its Mortgage-Backed-Securities since purchase are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and relative illiquidity and not credit quality. Because the Company does not intend to sell and unlikely to be required to sell until a recovery of fair value, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2019.

The following table summarizes the scheduled maturities of available for sale investment securities as of September 30, 2020.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities are shown by contractual maturity. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. As such, mortgage backed securities and government agencies are not included in the maturity categories above and instead are shown separately as securities not due at a single maturity date.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for loans included on the balance sheet.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements 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 some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, and deeds of trust on residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding commitments for loans of approximately $453.1 million and $390.0 million, respectively. Unfunded loan commitment reserves totaled $255,000 and $185,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Operating Leases

The Company leases various office premises under long-term operating lease agreements. These leases expire between 2020 and 2027, with certain leases containing either three, five, or seven year renewal options.

Rent expense included in premises and equipment expense totaled $619,000 and $473,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Rent expense included in premises and equipment expense totaled $1.9 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Contingencies

The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Correspondent Banking Agreements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Valuations within these levels are based upon:

Level 1—Quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active exchange markets.

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use on pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include management judgment and estimation which may be significant.

Management monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.

Management evaluates the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

Subordinated debt		4,977		—		—		5,112		5,112
Accrued interest payable		400		—		326		74		400

These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument for sale at one time, nor do they attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business related to the instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

Cash and Due from banks—The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

Investment Securities—Since quoted prices are generally not available for identical securities, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities on similar dates, resulting in Level 2 classification.

FHLB, IBFC, PCBB Stock—It is not practical to determine the fair value of these correspondent bank stocks due to restrictions placed on their transferability.

Loans—Fair values of loans for September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are estimated on an exit price basis with contractual cash flow, prepayments, discount spreads, credit loss and liquidity premium assumptions. Loans with similar characteristics such as prepayment rates, terms and rate indexed are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.

Impaired loans—Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses that are secured by real property is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of impaired loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

Deposits—The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate and fixed-term money market accounts approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in Level 1 classification. Fair values of fixed rate certificates of deposit are calculation of the estimated remaining cash flows was discounted to the date of the valuation to calculate the fair value (premium)/discount on the portfolio that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates for the San Francisco Bay Area to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in Level 2 classification.

FHLB Advances—FHLB Advances are included in Other Borrowings. Fair values for FHLB Advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates offered at each reporting date by correspondent banks for advances with similar maturities resulting in Level 3 classification.

Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF)—The fair value of PPPLF is estimated using a discounted cash flow based on the remaining contractual term and current rates at which similar advances would be obtained resulting in Level 3 classification.

Senior Notes—Fair values for senior notes are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current rates for similar types of debt which may be unobservable, and considering recent trading activity of similar instruments in market which can be inactive and accordingly are classified within in the Level 3 classification.

Subordinated Debt—Fair values for subordinated debt are calculated based on its terms and were discounted to the date of the valuation to calculate the fair value on the debt. A market rate based on recent debt offering by peer bank was used to discount cash flow until reprice date and subsequently cash flow were discounted at Prime plus 2% for its security. These assumptions which may be unobservable, and considering recent trading activity of similar instruments in market which can be inactive and accordingly are classified within the Level 3 classification.

Accrued Interest Receivable—The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 classification for accrued interest receivable on investment securities and a Level 3 classification for accrued interest receivable on loans since investment securities are generally classified using Level 2 inputs and loans are generally classified using Level 3 inputs.

Accrued Interest Payable—The carrying amounts of accrued interest payable approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 classification, since accrued interest payable is from deposits that are generally classified using Level 2 inputs.

Off Balance Sheet Instruments—Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value which was below cost at the reporting date. The following table summarizes impaired loans measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

	Carrying		Fair Value Measurements

Impaired loans - SBA		296						296
Total assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis	$	3,475	$	—	$	—	$	3,475

The fair value of impaired loans is based upon independent market prices, estimated liquidation values of loan collateral or appraised value of the collateral as determined by third-party independent appraisers, less selling costs, generally. Level 3 fair value measurement includes other real estate owned that has been measured at fair value upon transfer to foreclosed assets and impaired loans collateralized by real property and other business asset collateral where a specific reserve has been established or a charged-off has been recorded. The unobservable inputs and qualitative information about the unobservable inputs are based on managements’ best estimates of appropriate discounts in arriving at fair market value. Increases or decreases in any of those inputs could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. For example, a change in either direction of actual loss rates would have a directionally opposite change in the calculation of the fair value of impaired loans.

Business Impact Of Covid-19

7. BUSINESS IMPACT OF COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. The COVID-19 virus continues to aggressively spread globally and has spread to over 185 countries, including all 50 states in the United States. A prolonged COVID-19 outbreak, or any other epidemic that harms the global economy, U.S. economy, or the economies in which we operate could adversely affect our operations. While the spread of the COVID-19 virus has minimally impacted our operations as of September 30, 2020, it has caused significant economic disruption throughout the United States as state and local governments issued “shelter at home” orders along with the closing of non-essential businesses. The potential financial impact is unknown at this time. However, if these actions are sustained, it may adversely impact several industries within our geographic footprint and impair the ability of our customers to fulfill their contractual obligations to the Company. This could result in a material adverse effect on our business operations, asset valuations, financial condition, and results of operations. Material adverse impacts may include all or a combination of valuation impairments for investments, loans, and intangible assets.

Investments

Management has analyzed the investment portfolio and determined that any impairment would be temporary based on the type of investments the company holds.

As part of the Company’s assessment of other-than-temporary-impairment (OTTI), management considered coronavirus COVID-19 and determined that the significant change in the general economic environment and financial markets represents an interim impairment indicator that will require continued evaluation. As a result, there is a reasonable possibility that OTTI could occur in the near term.

Loan Portfolio

The Company has taken measures to both support customers affected by the pandemic and to maintain strong asset quality, including implementing a broad-based risk management strategy to manage credit segments on a real-time basis, and monitoring portfolio risk and related mitigation strategies also by segment.

The CARES Act and the revised interagency guidance issued in April 2020, “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working With Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised)”, provide banks the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under GAAP related to Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) for a limited time to account for the effects of COVID-19. As a result, the Company will not be recognizing eligible COVID-19 loan modifications as TDRs. Additionally, loans qualifying for these modifications will not be required to be reported as delinquent, nonaccrual, impaired or criticized solely as a result of a COVID-19 loan modification. However, management continues to evaluate these loans for performance criteria separate from their respective COVID-19 loan modification status. Through the date of this filing, the Company has not experienced any loan charge-offs caused by the economic impact from COVID-19. Management has evaluated events related to COVID-19 that have occurred subsequent to September 30, 2020 and has concluded there are no matters that would require recognition in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Proactive Deferral Program:

As a result of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, through September 30, 2020 the Company granted payment deferments on approximately 385 loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $323.9 million and aggregate monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $3.7 million, none of which are considered to be TDRs, based on the relief provided under the CARES Act described above. The payment deferments were granted initially for up to 90 days, and the Company has considered an additional 90 days based on the circumstances on both a macro and micro level at the time. Of the initial deferments, 6 borrowers with 8 loans totaling $12.5 million have applied for an additional 90 day extension. As of the date of this filing, with the exception of these 8 loans, all loans that encompassed the original deferment pool have returned to a normal payment schedule.

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP):

The Company is also participating in the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Key Features of the PPP include:

• 24-month term

• Interest-rate of 1%, deferred payments for the first 6-months

• The loan will be fully forgiven if the funds are used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities (due to likely high subscription, at least 75% of the forgiven amount must have been used for payroll). No collateral or personal guarantees are required. Neither the government nor lenders will charge any fees.

• Forgiveness is based on the employer maintaining or quickly rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels. Forgiveness will be reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages decrease.

• Loans are guaranteed by the United States Treasury Department

The Company processed 100% of the approximately 737 applications received and all of the eligible applications that were submitted to the SBA received approval. At September 30, 2020, the balance of the loans funded under the PPP was $362.0 million.

The following table reflects the concentration of loans funded through the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) as of September 30, 2020.

	Number of		Principal		Number of Loans as a % of						Principal Balance as a % of
(Dollars in millions)	Loans		Balance		PPP Loans			Gross Loans			PPP Loans			Gross Loans
Dental services		284	$	42.8		39	%		14	%		12	%		3	%
Contractors		114		138.0		16	%		6	%		38	%		10	%
Other		333		181.2		46	%		15	%		50	%		13	%
Total		731	$	362.0		100	%		35	%		100	%		26	%

The PPP loans categorized above as “other” are comprised of multiple sectors, including professional/scientific services, retail, manufacturing, finance, wholesale, and real estate.

The SBA began accepting client applications for loan forgiveness in August 2020. The Company has submitted 43 client applications to the SBA totaling $32.2 million. As of the date of this filing, clients representing an additional 174 loans totaling $120.7 million are in the process of completing loan forgiveness applications.

Impact of Response to COVID-19 Pandemic

Specific impacts of the COVID-19 macroeconomic environment on our operating results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 include the following:

• Funding of loans under the PPP and related borrowing under the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) provided net benefit to net interest income of $1.4 million and $2.8 million during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, including the impact of amortization of deferred fees and origination costs.

• The Company received $9.1 million in fees year-to-date related to the origination of PPP loans. Recognition of the fees was deferred at origination and is being recognized over the 24 month term of the loans. For the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company amortized into interest income approximately $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively. As clients are accepted for loan forgiveness by the SBA, the remaining fees will be recognized at the time of payoff of the loan.

• The Company deferred loan origination costs of approximately $2.5 million year-to-date related to PPP loans which are being amortized over the remaining term of the PPP loans. Additionally, the Company deferred loan origination costs of approximately $1.7 million year-to-date related to loan modifications which are being amortized over the remaining term of the modified loans. For the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, amortized into interest income approximately $312,000 and $625,000, respectively.

• The continued uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the pandemic and related economic effects considered in our qualitative assessment of the allowance for loan losses resulted in a gross increase in the provision for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 of approximately $1.1 million and 3.3 million, respectively. Our overall analysis of the allowance for loan losses considers multiple qualitative factors that may, in part, offset the gross impact on the provision specifically related to COVID-19. 

Goodwill

The Company completed an impairment analysis of goodwill as of September 30, 2020 and determined there was no impairment.

Goodwill impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, which is determined through a qualitative assessment whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of equity of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value (“Step Zero”).

As part of the Company’s qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment, management considered the triggering event of coronavirus COVID-19 and determined that the significant change in the general economic environment and financial markets, including our market capitalization, represents an interim impairment indicator that will require continued evaluation. However, we do not believe that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists as of September 30, 2020.
