NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of Business and Its Significant Accounting Policies

Partners Bancorp (the “Company”) is a multi-bank holding company with two wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”), The Bank of Delmarva (“Delmarva”), a commercial bank headquartered in Seaford, Delaware that operates primarily in Wicomico and Worcester counties in Maryland, Sussex County in Delaware, and Camden and Burlington counties in New Jersey, and Virginia Partners Bank (“Partners”), a commercial bank headquartered in Fredericksburg, Virginia that operates primarily in and around the greater Fredericksburg, Virginia area, including Stafford County, Spotsylvania County, King George County, Caroline County, and the City of Fredericksburg, Virginia. Partners also operates in Anne Arundel County and the three counties of Southern Maryland, including Charles County, Calvert County, and St. Mary’s County. The Subsidiaries engage in the general banking business and provide a broad range of financial services to individual and corporate customers, and are subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Subsidiaries are also subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its Subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and practices within the banking industry.

Significant accounting policies not disclosed elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company; the Subsidiaries, along with their consolidated subsidiaries: Delmarva Real Estate Holdings, LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of Delmarva, which is a real estate holding company; Davie Circle, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Delmarva, which is a real estate holding company; Delmarva BK Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Delmarva, which is a real estate holding company; DHB Development, LLC, of which Delmarva holds a 40.55% interest, and is a real estate holding company; West Nithsdale Enterprises, LLC, of which Delmarva holds a 10% interest, and is a real estate holding company; and FBW, LLC, of which Delmarva holds 50% interest, and is a real estate holding company; Bear Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Partners, and is a real estate holding company; Johnson Mortgage Company, LLC, of which Partners owns 51% interest, and is a residential mortgage company; and 410 William Street, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Partners, and which holds investment property. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Financial Statement Presentation:

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

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

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

8

Securities Available for Sale:

Marketable debt securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are acquired as part of the Subsidiaries' asset/liability management strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, loan demand, changes in prepayment risk, and other factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value as determined by quoted market prices. Unrealized gains or losses based on the difference between amortized cost and fair value are reported in other comprehensive income, net of deferred tax. Realized gains and losses, using the specific identification method, are included as a separate component of other income (expense) and, when applicable, are reported as a reclassification adjustment, net of tax, in other comprehensive income. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Additionally, declines in the fair value of individual investment securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses in the consolidated statements of income.

Impairment may result from credit deterioration of the issuer or collateral underlying the security. In performing an assessment of recoverability, all relevant information is considered, including the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, the cause of the price decline, credit performance of the issuer and underlying collateral, and recoveries or further declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.

For debt securities, the Company measures and recognizes other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses through earnings if (1) the Company has the intent to sell the security or (2) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. In these circumstances, the impairment loss is equal to the full difference between the amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security. For securities that are considered OTTI that the Company has the intent and ability to hold in an unrealized loss position, the OTTI write-down is separated into an amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and the amount related to other factors, which is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”).

Restricted Stock, Equity Securities and Other Investments:

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock, at cost, and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank (“ACBB”), at cost, Community Bankers Bank (“CBB”) and Maryland Financial Bank (“MFB”) are equity interests in the FHLB, ACBB, CBB and MFB, respectively. These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value for purposes of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320-10 Investments-Debts and Equity Securities because their ownership is restricted and they lack an active market. As there is no readily determinable fair value for these securities, they are carried at cost less any OTTI.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in net income. Any equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments. The entirety of any impairment on equity securities is recognized in earnings.

Other investments includes an equity ownership of Solomon Hess SBA Loan Fund LLC which the value is adjusted for its prorata share of assets in the fund and investment in the stock of the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”). Other investments also includes equity securities the Company holds with Community Capital Management in their Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) Qualified Investment Fund.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other changes or amounts due that are probable at settlement.

9

Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses:

Loans are generally carried at the amount of unpaid principal, adjusted for unearned loan fees, which are amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest rate method. Interest on loans is accrued based on the principal amounts outstanding. It is the Subsidiaries' policy to discontinue the accrual of interest when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for ninety days or more. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Cash collections on such loans are applied as reductions of the loan principal balance and no interest income is recognized on those loans until the principal balance has been collected. Interest income on other nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received. The carrying value of impaired loans is based on the present value of the loan's expected future cash flows or, alternatively, the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and is based on the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, an assessment of individual problem loans and actual loss experience, the value of the underlying collateral, and current economic events in specific industries and geographical areas, including unemployment levels, and other pertinent factors, including regulatory guidance and general economic conditions. Determination of the allowance for credit losses is inherently subjective, as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance for credit losses, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance for credit losses. A provision for credit losses is charged to operations based on management's periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors. Evaluations are conducted at least monthly and more often if deemed necessary.

The allowance for credit losses typically consists of an allocated component and an unallocated component. The allocated component of the allowance for credit losses reflects expected losses resulting from analyses developed through specific credit allocations for individual loans and historical loss experience for each loan category.

The specific credit allocations are based on regular analyses of all loans that are considered impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.The historical loan loss element is determined statistically using an informal loss migration analysis that examines loss experience and the related internal gradings of loans charged off. The loss migration analysis is performed quarterly and loss factors are updated regularly based on actual experience. The allocated component of the allowance for credit losses also includes consideration of concentrations and changes in portfolio mix and volume.

Any unallocated portion of the allowance for credit losses reflects management's estimate of probable inherent but undetected losses within the loan portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable information about a borrower's financial condition, the difficulty in identifying triggering events that correlate perfectly to subsequent loss rates, and risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation factors. In addition, the unallocated portion of the allowance for credit losses includes a component that explicitly accounts for the inherent imprecision in loan loss migration models. The historical losses used in the migration analysis may not be representative of actual unrealized losses inherent in the loan portfolio. It is management's intent to continually refine the methodology for the allowance for credit losses in an attempt to directly allocate potential losses in the loan portfolio under ASC Topic 310 and minimize the unallocated portion of the allowance for credit losses.

Loan Charge-off Policies

Loans are generally fully or partially charged down to the fair value of securing collateral when:

● management deems the asset to be uncollectible;

10

● repayment is deemed to be made beyond the reasonable time frames;

● the asset has been classified as a loss by internal or external review; and

● the borrower has filed bankruptcy and the loss becomes evident owing to a lack of assets.

Acquired Loans

Loans acquired in connection with business combinations are recorded at their acquisition-date fair value with no carry over of related allowance for credit losses. Any allowance for credit loss on these pools reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition (meaning the present value of all cash flows expected at acquisition that ultimately are not expected to be received). Determining the fair value of the acquired loans involves estimating the principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at a market rate of interest. Management considers a number of factors in evaluating the acquisition-date fair value including the remaining life of the acquired loans, delinquency status, estimated prepayments, payment options and other loan features, internal risk grade, estimated value of the underlying collateral and interest rate environment.

Acquired loans that meet the criteria for nonaccrual of interest prior to the acquisition may be considered performing upon acquisition, regardless of whether the customer is contractually delinquent, if we can reasonably estimate the timing and amount of the expected cash flows on such loans and if we expect to fully collect the new carrying value of the loans, including the impact of any accretable yield.

Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (ASC 310-30) if, at acquisition, the loans have evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination and it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected. At acquisition, the Company considers several factors as an indicator that an acquired loan has evidence of deterioration in credit quality. These factors include; loans 90 days or more past due, loans with an internal risk grade of substandard or below, loans classified as non-accrual by the acquired institution, and loans that have been previously modified in a troubled debt restructuring.

Under the ASC 310-30 model, the excess of cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition over recorded fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is the interest component of expected cash flow. The accretable yield is recognized into income over the remaining life of the loan if the timing and/or amount of cash flows expected to be collected can be reasonably estimated (the accretion method). If the timing or amount of cash flows expected to be collected cannot be reasonably estimated, the cost recovery method of income recognition is used. The difference between the loan's total scheduled principal and interest payment over all cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition, considering the impact of prepayments, is referred to as the non-accretable difference. The non-accretable difference represents contractually required principal and interest payments which the Company does not expect to collect.

Over the life of the loan, management continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments through a charge to the provision for credit losses resulting in an increase in the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent improvements in cash flows result in first, reversal of existing valuation allowances recognized subsequent to acquisition, if any, and next, an increase in the amount of accretable yield to be subsequently recognized as interest income on a prospective basis over the loan's remaining life.

Acquired loans that were not individually determined to be purchased with deteriorated credit quality are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (ASC 310-20), whereby the premium or discount derived from the fair market value adjustment, on a loan-by-loan or pooled basis, is recognized into interest income on a level yield basis over the remaining expected life of the loan or pool.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A loan is accounted for and reported as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when, for economic or legal reasons, we grant a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty that we would not otherwise consider. Management strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and works with them to modify to more affordable terms before their loan reaches nonaccrual status. These modified terms may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. A restructuring that results in only an insignificant delay in payment is not considered a concession. A delay may be considered insignificant if the payments subject to the delay are insignificant relative to the unpaid principal or collateral value and the contractual amount due, or the delay in timing of the restructured payment period is insignificant relative to the frequency of the payments, the debt’s original contractual maturity or original expected duration.

TDRs are designated as impaired loans because interest and principal payments will not be received in accordance with the original contract terms. TDRs that are performing and on accrual status as of the date of the modification remain on accrual status. TDRs that are nonperforming as of the date of modification generally remain as nonaccrual until the prospect of future payments in accordance with the modified loan agreement is reasonably assured, generally demonstrated when the borrower maintains compliance with the restructured terms for a predetermined period, normally at least six months. TDRs with temporary below-market concessions remain designated as a TDR and impaired regardless of the accrual or performance status until the loan is paid off. However, if the TDR loan has been modified in a subsequent restructure with market terms and the borrower is not currently experiencing financial difficulty, then the loan may be no longer designated as a TDR.

Loans Held for Sale:

These loans consist of loans made through Partners’ majority owned subsidiary Johnson Mortgage Company, LLC (“JMC”).

JMC is engaged in the mortgage brokerage business in which JMC originates, closes, and immediately sells mortgage loans and related servicing rights to permanent investors in the secondary market. JMC has written commitments from several permanent investors (large financial institutions) and only closes loans that meet the lending requirements of the permanent investors. Loans are made in connection with the purchase or refinancing of existing and new one-to-four family residences primarily in southeastern and northern Virginia. Loans are initially funded primarily by JMC’s lines of credit. With the concurrent sale and delivery of mortgage loans to the permanent investors, JMC records receivables for mortgage loans sold and recognizes the related gains and losses on such sales. The receivables for mortgage loans sold are usually satisfied within 30 days of sale, whereupon the related borrowings on the lines of credit are repaid. Because of the short holding period, these loans are carried at the lower of cost or market and no market adjustments were deemed necessary in the first three quarters of 2020 or during 2019. JMC’s agreements with its permanent investors include provisions that could require JMC to repurchase loans under certain circumstances, and also provide for the assessment of fees if loans go into default or are refinanced within specified periods of time. JMC has never been required to repurchase a loan and no allowance has been made as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019 for possible repurchases. Management does not believe that a provision for early default or refinancing costs is necessary at September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

JMC enters into commitments with its customers to originate loans where the interest rate on the loans is determined (locked) prior to funding. While this subjects JMC to the risk that interest rates may change from the commitment date to the funding date, JMC simultaneously enters into financial agreements (best efforts forward sales commitments) with its permanent investors giving JMC the right to deliver (put) loans to the investors at specified yields, thus enabling JMC to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates such that JMC is not subject to fluctuations in fair values of these agreements due to changes in interest rates. However, a default by a permanent investor required to purchase loans under such an agreement would expose JMC to potential fluctuation in selling prices of loans due to changes in interest rate. The fair value of rate lock commitments and forward sales commitments was considered immaterial at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and an adjustment was not recorded. Gains and losses on the

12

sale of mortgages as well as origination fees, brokerage fees, interest rate lock-in fees and other fees paid by mortgagors are included in Mortgage banking income on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO):

OREO comprises properties acquired in partial or total satisfaction of problem loans. The properties are recorded at fair value at the date acquired. Losses arising at the time of acquisition of such properties are charged against the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent write-downs that may be required and expenses of operation are included in other expenses. Gains and losses realized from the sale of OREO are included in other expenses. At September 30, 2020 there were five properties with a combined estimated value of $2.8 million included in OREO and at December 31, 2019, there were four properties with a combined estimated value of $2.4 million included in OREO.

Intangible Assets and Amortization:

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company acquired Partners and during the first quarter of 2018, the Company acquired Liberty. ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), prescribes accounting for intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. Acquired intangible assets (such as core deposit intangibles) are separately recognized if the benefit of the assets can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, and amortized over their useful lives. Intangible assets related to the acquisitions are amortized (See Note 12 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further information).

Goodwill

The Company’s goodwill was recognized in connection with the acquisitions of Partners and Liberty. The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill at least annually or more frequently if certain impairment indicators exist. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may first consider qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, we conclude that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then no further testing is required and the goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment or if we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount to determine whether an impairment exists.

Accounting for Stock Based Compensation:

The Company follows ASC 718-10, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) for accounting and reporting for stock-based compensation plans. ASC 718-10 defines a fair value at grant date to be used for measuring compensation expense for stock-based compensation plans to be recognized in the statement of income.

Earnings Per Share:

Basic earnings per common share are determined by dividing net income and accretion of warrants by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each period, giving retroactive effect to stock splits and dividends. Weighted average common shares outstanding were 17,810,090 and 17,808,212 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and 9,985,321 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Calculations of diluted earnings per common share include the average dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, unless they are anti-dilutive. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options calculated using the treasury stock method and restricted stock awards (See Note 8 – Earnings Per Share for further information).

For individual securities classified as either available for sale or held to maturity, the Company must determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other than temporary. In estimating OTTI losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. If the decline in fair value is considered to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the individual security shall be written down to the fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down shall be included in earnings (that is, accounted for as a realized loss).

At September 30, 2020 there were four mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and one agency investment that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. At September 30, 2020 there were no securities that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than twelve months. Management found no evidence of OTTI on any of these securities and believes that unrealized losses are due to fluctuations in fair values resulting from changes in market interest rates and are considered temporary. As of September 30, 2020, management also believes it has the ability and intent to hold the securities for a period of time sufficient for a recovery of cost.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company sold ten securities, resulting in a gain of $401 thousand. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not sell any securities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, fourteen securities were either matured or called, resulting in a net gain of $167 thousand. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, five and eleven securities were either matured or called, respectively, resulting in a gain of $97 thousand for both periods.

The Company has pledged certain securities as collateral for qualified customers’ deposit accounts at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The amortized cost and fair value of these pledged securities was $10.0 million and $10.4 million, respectively, at September 30, 2020. The amortized cost and fair value of these pledged securities was $9.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2019.

Contractual maturities of investment securities at September 30, 2020 are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because debtors may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mortgage-backed securities have no stated maturity and primarily reflect investments in various Pass-through and Participation Certificates issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Government National Mortgage Association. Repayment of mortgage-backed securities is affected by the contractual repayment terms of the underlying mortgages collateralizing these obligations and the current level of interest rates.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For purposes of determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company has segmented the loan portfolio into the following classifications:

● Real Estate Mortgage (which includes Construction and Land Development, Residential Real Estate, Nonresidential Real Estate and Home Equity Loans)

● Commercial

● Consumer and other loans

Each of these segments are reviewed and analyzed quarterly using historical charge-off experience for their respective segments as well as the following qualitative factors:

● Changes in the levels and trends in delinquencies, non-accruals, classified assets and TDRs

● Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio

● Effects of any changes in lending policies, procedures, including underwriting standards and collections, charge off and recovery practices

● Changes in the experience, depth and ability of management

● Changes in the national and local economic conditions and developments, including the condition of various market segments

● Changes in the concentration of credits within each pool

● Changes in the quality of the Company’s loan review system and the degree of oversight by the Company’s Board of Directors

● Changes in external factors such as competition and the legal environment.

The above factors result in a FASB ASC 450-10- 20 calculated reserve for environmental factors.

All credit exposures graded at a rating of “non-pass” with outstanding balances less than or equal to $250 thousand and credit exposures graded at a rating of “pass” are reviewed and analyzed quarterly using historical charge-off experience for their respective segments as well as the qualitative factors discussed above. The historical charge-off experience is further adjusted based on delinquency risk trend assessments and concentration risk assessments.

All credit exposures graded at a rating of “non-pass” with outstanding balances greater than $250 thousand are to be reviewed no less than quarterly for the purpose of determining if a specific allocation is needed for that credit. The determination for a specific reserve is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except when the sole (remaining) source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In these cases management uses the current fair value of the collateral, less selling cost when foreclosure is probable, instead of discounted cash flows. If management determines that the value of the loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance for credit losses estimate or a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses.

17

The establishment of a specific reserve does not necessarily mean that the credit with the specific reserve will definitely incur loss at the reserve level. It is only an estimation of the potential loss based upon anticipated events. A specific reserve will not be established unless loss elements can be determined and quantified based on known facts. The total allowance reflects management's estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The Company had an unallocated amount of approximately $593 thousand in the allowance that is reflected in the above table as of September 30, 2020. The Company had an unallocated amount of approximately $459 thousand in the allowance that is reflected in the above table as of September 30, 2019. Management believes this amount is adequate to absorb additional inherent, but as yet unidentified, losses in the loan portfolio.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law, which established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and allocated $349.0 billion of loans to be issued by financial institutions. Under the program, the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) will forgive loans, in whole or in part, made by approved lenders to eligible borrowers for Paycheck and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the program. These loans carry a fixed rate of 1.00% and a term of two years, if not forgiven, in whole or in part. The loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and payments are deferred for the first six months of the loan. The Bank receives a processing fee ranging from 1% to 5% based on the size of the loan from the SBA. The Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (“PPP/ HCEA Act”) was signed into law on April 24, 2020. The PPP/HCEA Act authorized additional funding under the CARES Act of $310.0 billion for PPP loans to be issued by

19

financial institutions through the SBA. The Company has provided $64.2 million in funding to over 600 customers through the PPP as of September 30, 2020. Because these loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and did not undergo the Bank’s typical underwriting process, they are not graded and do not have an associated reserve at this time.

Credit Quality Information

The following tables represent credit exposures by creditworthiness category at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The use of creditworthiness categories to grade loans permits management to estimate a portion of credit risk. The Company’s internal creditworthiness is based on experience with similarly graded credits. The Company uses the definitions below for categorizing and managing its criticized loans. Loans catergorized as “Pass” do not meet the criteria set forth below and are not considered criticized.

Marginal — Loans in this category are presently protected from loss, but weaknesses are apparent which, if not corrected, could cause future problems. Loans in this category may not meet required underwriting criteria and have no mitigating factors. More than the ordinary amount of attention is warranted for these loans.

Substandard — Loans in this category exhibit well-defined weaknesses that would typically bring normal repayment into jeopardy. These loans are no longer adequately protected due to well-defined weaknesses that affect the repayment capacity of the borrower. The possibility of loss is much more evident and above average supervision is required for these loans.

Doubtful — Loans in this category have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan categorized as Substandard, with the characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss — Loans in this category are of little value and are not warranted as a bankable asset.

Non-accruals

In general, a loan will be placed on non-accrual status at the end of the reporting month in which the interest or principal is past due more than 90 days. Exceptions to the policy are those loans that are in the process of collection and are well-secured. A well-secured loan is secured by collateral with sufficient market value to repay principal and all accrued interest.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans are defined as non-accrual loans, TDRs, purchased credit impaired loans (“PCI”) and loans risk rated substandard or above. When management identifies a loan as impaired, the impairment is measured for potential loss based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except when the sole (remaining) source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In these cases management uses the current fair value of the collateral, less selling cost when foreclosure is probable, instead of discounted cash flows. If management determines that the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance.

22

When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is on non-accrual status, all payments are applied to principal, under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt and the loan is on non-accrual status, contractual interest is credited to interest income when received, under the cash basis method.

The following tables include the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired financing receivables, excluding purchased credit impaired, with the associated allowance amount, if applicable. Also presented are the average recorded investments in the impaired loans and the related amount of interest recognized during the time within the period that the impaired loans were impaired.

Partners owns a one-half undivided interest in 410 William Street, Fredericksburg, Virginia. Partners purchased a one-half interest in the land for cash, plus additional settlement costs, and assumption of one-half of the remaining deed of trust loan on December 14, 2012. Partners indemnified the indemnities, who are the personal guarantors of the deed of trust loan in the amount of $886 thousand, which was one-half of the outstanding balance of the loan as of the purchase date. Partners has a remaining obligation under the note payable of $660 thousand as of September 30, 2020. The loan was refinanced on April 30, 2015 with a twenty-five year amortization. The interest rate is fixed at 3.60% for the first 10 years, and then becomes a variable rate of 3.0% plus the 10 year Treasury rate until maturity.

The Company provides JMC a warehouse line of credit, which is eliminated in consolidation. In addition, JMC has a warehouse line of credit with another financial institution in the amount of $3.0 million. The interest rate is the weekly average of the one month LIBOR plus 2.250%, rounded to the nearest 0.125% (2.750% at September 30, 2020 and 4.0% at December 31, 2019). The rate is subject to change the first of every month. Amounts borrowed are collateralized by a security interest in the mortgage loans financed under the line and are payable upon demand. The warehouse line of credit is set to renew or mature on August 31, 2021. The balance outstanding at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $615 thousand and $576 thousand, respectively. Interest expense on the warehouse lines of credit was $32 thousand and $83 thousand during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2020, in connection with the loans originated as part of the PPP, the Company borrowed under the Federal Reserve’s Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”).  Under the terms of the PPPLF, the Company can borrow funds which are secured by the Company’s PPP loans.  As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s outstanding advances under the PPPLF were $64.2 million.  The interest rate on the advances is fixed at a rate of 0.35% through the advance maturities ranging from April 2022 to June 2025.  The Company’s available borrowing capacity under the PPPLF as of September 30, 2020 was $64.2 million, all of which was currently outstanding.

The proceeds of these long-term borrowings were generally used to purchase higher yielding investment securities, fund additional loans, redeem preferred stock, or fund acquisitions. Additionally, the Company has secured credit availability of $5.0 million with a correspondent bank and unsecured credit availability of $59.0 million with several other correspondent banks for short-term liquidity needs, if necessary. The secured facility must be collateralized by specific securities at the time of any usage. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under these credit agreements.

Note 5. Lease Commitments

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), on January 1, 2019, using a modified-retrospective approach, whereby comparative periods were not restated. No cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was required. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classifications. Additionally, the Company elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases.

The Company leases eighteen locations for administrative offices and branch locations. Sixteen leases were classified as operating leases and two as finance leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less as well as leases with a discounted present value of future cash flows below $25 thousand are not recorded on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized over the lease term. The Company elected to use the practical expedient to not recognize short-term leases on the consolidated balance sheet and instead account for them as executory contracts.

Certain leases include options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term, typically for five years. Lease assets and liabilities include related options that are reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company has determined that it will place a limit on exercises of available lease renewal options that would extend the lease term up to a maximum of fifteen years, including the initial term. The depreciable life of leased assets are limited by the expected lease term.

Adoption of this standard resulted in the Company recognizing a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability of $3.6 million on January 1, 2019.

Note 6. Stock Option Plans

Partners Bancorp Stock Option Plan

The Company had employee and director stock option plans and had reserved shares of stock for issuance thereunder. Options granted under these plans had a ten-year life with a four-year vesting period that began one year after date of grant, and were exercisable at a price equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. Each award from all plans was evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the option price, the duration of the option, the number of shares to which the option pertains, and such other provisions as the grantor determines. The plan term ended in 2014, therefore no new options can be granted.

All remaining stock options expired during the second quarter of 2019.

Liberty Bell Bank Stock Option Plans

In 2004, Liberty Bell Bank (“Liberty”) adopted the 2004 Incentive Stock Option Plan and the 2004 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, which were stock-based incentive compensation plans (the “Liberty Plans”). In February 2014, the Liberty Plans expired pursuant to their terms. Options under these plans had a 10 year life and vested over 5 years. Remaining options under the Liberty Plans became fully vested with the approval by the board of directors of Liberty signing the Agreement of Merger with the Company in July 2017 (the “Liberty Merger”). In accordance with the terms of the Agreement of Merger between the Company and Liberty, the Liberty Plans were assumed by the Company, and the options were converted into and became an option to purchase an adjusted number of shares of the common stock of the Company at an adjusted exercise price per share. The number of shares was determined by multiplying the number of shares of Liberty common stock for which the option was exercisable by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which shares of Liberty common stock were convertible in the Liberty Merger, which was 0.2857 (the “Liberty Conversion Ratio”), rounded to the next lower whole share. The exercise price was determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Liberty common stock by the Liberty Conversion Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent. At the effective time of the Liberty Merger there were 48,225 options outstanding at an exercise price of $1.18. These shares were converted to 13,771 options outstanding at an exercise price of $4.14.

Virginia Partners Bank Stock Option Plan

In 2015, Partners adopted the 2015 Stock Option Plan (the “2015 Partners Plan”), which allowed both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to be granted. The exercise price of each stock option equaled the market price of Partners' common stock on the date of grant and a stock option’s maximum term was 10 years. Stock options granted in the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 vested over 3 years. Partners previous stock compensation plan (the “2008 Partners Plan”) provided for the grant of share based awards in the form of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to Partners’ directors, officers and employees. In April 2015 the 2008 Partners Plan was terminated and replaced with the 2015 Partners Plan. Stock options outstanding prior to April 2015 were granted under the 2008 Partners Plan and became subject to the provisions of the 2015 Partners Plan. The 2008 Partners Plan also provided for stock options to be granted to seed investors as a reward for the contribution to organizational funds which were at risk if Partners’ organization had not been successful. Under the 2008 Partners Plan, Partners granted stock options to seed investors in 2008, which were fully vested upon the date of the grant.

As a result of the Company’s acquisition of Partners in November 2019 through an exchange of shares in an all-stock transaction, (the “Partners Share Exchange”), each stock option (the "Partners Options"), whether vested or unvested, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time under the 2008 Partners Plan or the 2015 Partners Plan and together with the 2008 Partners Plan, (the "Partners Stock Plans"), immediately 100% vested, to the extent not already vested, and converted into and became stock options to purchase the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company assumed each of the Partners Stock Plans, and assumed each Partners Option in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Partners Stock Plan pursuant to which it was issued. As such, Partners Options to acquire 149,200 shares of Partner’s common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $10.52 per share were converted into stock options to acquire 256,294 shares of the Company’s common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $6.13 per share. The number of shares was determined by multiplying the number of shares of Partners common stock for which the option was exercisable by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which shares of Partners common stock were convertible in the Partners Share Exchange, which was 1.7179 (the “Partners Conversion Ratio”), rounded to the next lower whole share. The exercise price was determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Partners common stock by the Partners Conversion Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent.

The intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock options exceeds the exercise price) that would have been received by the holders had they exercised their stock options on September 30, 2020.

As stated in Note 1, the Company follows ASC 718-10 which requires that stock-based compensation to employees and directors be recognized as compensation cost in the income statement based on their fair values on the measurement date, which, for the Company, is the date of the grant. All stock option expenses had been fully recognized prior to 2019.

Note 7. Restricted Stock Plan

The Company had an employee and director restricted stock plan (the “Company Plan”) and reserved 405,805 shares of stock for issuance thereunder. The Company adopted the Company Plan, pursuant to which employee and directors of the Company could acquire shares of common stock. The Company Plan was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors in April 2014, and was subject to the right of the Board of Directors to terminate the Company Plan at any time. The Company Plan terminated at its scheduled date on June 30, 2018. The termination of the Company Plan, either at the scheduled termination date or before such date, did not affect any award issued prior to termination.

As of September 30, 2020 non-vested restricted stock awards totaling 3,000 were outstanding as follows:

	Employees
		Weighted
		Average
	Shares	Fair Value
Nonvested Awards December 31, 2019	6,000	$	7.30
Vested in 2020	(3,000)		7.30
Nonvested Awards September 30, 2020	3,000	$	7.30

As stated in Note 1, the Company follows ASC 718-10 which requires that restricted stock-based compensation to employees and directors be recognized as compensation cost in the income statement based on their fair values on the measurement date. The fair value of restricted stock granted is equal to the underlying fair value of the stock. As a result

30

of applying the provisions of ASC 718-10, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 the Company recognized restricted stock-based compensation expense of $6 thousand, or $4 thousand net of tax, and $17 thousand, or $12 thousand net of tax, respectively, related to the 2014 restricted stock awards under the Company Plan. Unrecognized restricted stock-based compensation expense related to 2014 restricted stock awards under the Company Plan totaled approximately $31,000 at September 30, 2020. The remaining period over which this unrecognized expense is expected to be recognized is approximately five months.

Note 8. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of all potentially dilutive shares outstanding attributable to stock instruments.  

Applicable guidance requires that outstanding, unvested share-based payment awards that contain voting rights and rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Accordingly, the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per common share includes unvested shares of the Company’s outstanding restricted common stock.

The following table presents basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

	Net Income Applicable

Note 9. Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Company’s subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory — and possibly additional discretionary — actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company’s subsidiaries must meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s

31

subsidiaries assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s subsidiaries’ capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting, and other factors.  Federal banking regulations also impose regulatory capital requirements on bank holding companies. Under the small bank holding company policy statement of the Federal Reserve Board, which applies to certain bank holding companies with consolidated total assets of less than $3 billion, the Company is not subject to regulatory capital requirements.

On September 17, 2019 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation finalized a rule that introduces an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations (i.e., the community bank leverage ratio (CBLR) framework), as required by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act. The CBLR framework is designed to reduce burden by removing the requirements for calculating and reporting risk-based capital ratios for qualifying community banking organizations that opt into the framework.

In order to qualify for the CBLR framework, a community banking organization must have a tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 9 percent, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities. A qualifying community banking organization that opts into the CBLR framework and meets all requirements under the framework will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital.

The Company has elected not to opt into the CBLR framework at this time.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company’s subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (as defined in the regulations) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to average assets, and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets. Management believes as of September 30, 2020 that the Company’s subsidiaries met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of September 30, 2020, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) categorized the Company’s subsidiaries as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Company’s subsidiaries must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage and common equity Tier 1 risk-based ratios. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company’s subsidiaries category.

The Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total capital ratios are calculated by dividing the respective capital amounts by risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets are calculated based on regulatory requirements and include total assets, with certain exclusions, allocated by risk weight category, and certain off-balance-sheet items, among other things. The Tier 1 leverage ratio is calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital by adjusted quarterly average total assets, which exclude goodwill and other intangible assets, among other things.

The Basel III Capital Rules require the Company’s subsidiaries to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (which is added to the 4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 7.0%), (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%), (iii) a minimum ratio of Total capital (that is, Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 8.0% Total capital ratio, effectively resulting in a minimum Total capital ratio of 10.5%) and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average quarterly assets.

The implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and was phased in over a four-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reached 2.5% on January 1, 2019). The Basel III Capital Rules also provide for a “countercyclical capital buffer” that is applicable to only certain covered institutions and does not have any current applicability to the Subsidiaries or the Company. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and, as detailed above, effectively increases the minimum required risk-weighted capital ratios. Banking institutions with a ratio of Common Equity Tier 1

32

capital to risk-weighted assets below the effective minimum (4.5% plus the capital conservation buffer and, if applicable, the countercyclical capital buffer) will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

The following table presents actual and required capital ratios as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 for the Company’s subsidiaries under the Basel III Capital Rules. The minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 based on the fully phased-in provisions of the Basel III Capital Rules. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based on prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules. A comparison of the Company’s subsidiaries’ capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 with the minimum requirements are presented below.

Banking regulations also limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of the Company’s regulatory agencies. Regulatory approval is required to pay dividends, which exceed the Company’s net profits for the current year plus its retained net profits for the preceding two years.

Note 10. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.  Additionally, in accordance with ASU 2016-01, the Company uses the exit price notion, rather than the entry price notion, in calculating the fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The estimated fair values, and related carrying amounts, of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations.  As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company.  Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk.  However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to repay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment.  Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment.  Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Bank's overall interest rate risk.

Note 11. Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC 820-10 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) which provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available for sale investments securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans).

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally 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.

Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

35

Level 2 - Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.

Level 3 - Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:

Investment Securities Available for Sale:

Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1).  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data.  Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2).  In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.  Currently, all of the Company’s investment securities available for sale are considered to be Level 2 securities.

The following tables present the balances of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these financial assets usually result from the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:

Loans Held for Sale:

Loans held for sale are loans originated by JMC for sale in the secondary market.  Loans originated for sale by JMC are recorded at lower of cost or market.  No market adjustments were required at September 30, 2020; therefore,

36

loans held for sale were carried at cost.  Because of the short-term nature, the book value of these loans approximates fair value at September 30, 2020.  

Impaired Loans:

Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected when due. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2).  However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the allowance for loan losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as a provision for loan losses on the consolidated statement of income.  

Other Real Estate Owned:

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is measured at fair value less cost to sell, based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company.  If the collateral value is significantly adjusted due to differences in the comparable properties, or is discounted by the Company because of marketability, then the fair value is considered Level 3.  OREO is measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  Any initial fair value adjustment is charged against the allowance for loan losses.  Subsequent fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and included in other noninterest expense on the consolidated statement of income.  

The following table presents the balances of financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Note 12. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC 805. The Company records the excess of cost acquired entities over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, as goodwill. The Company amortizes acquired intangible assets with definite useful economic lives over their useful economic lives. On a periodic basis, management assesses whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible assets may be impaired. The Company does not amortize goodwill or any acquired intangible assets with an indefinite useful economic life, but reviews them for impairment on an annual basis, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may be impaired. The Company has performed the required goodwill impairment test and has determined that goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating goodwill impairment for the current year ended December 31, 2020.

Goodwill: The Company acquired goodwill in the purchase of Partners (see Note 13 – Virginia Partners Bank Transaction for further information). The following table provides changes in goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019:

	September 30,		December 31,

Partners acquisition		—		4,154
Impairment		—		—
Balance at the end of the period	$	9,391	$	9,391

Core Deposit Intangible: The Company acquired core deposit intangibles in the Liberty merger and the Partners Share Exchange. For the core deposit intangible related to Liberty, the Company utilizes the double declining balance method of amortization, in which the straight line amortization rate is doubled and applied to the remaining

38

unamortized portion of the intangible asset. The amortization method changes to the straight line method of amortization when the straight line amortization amount exceeds the amount that would be calculated under the double declining balance method. This core deposit intangible is being amortized over seven years. For the core deposit intangible related to Partners, the Company utilizes the sum of months method and an estimated average life of 120 months. The following table provides changes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and the year ended December 31, 2019:

	September 30,		December 31,

	$	2,833

Net Deposits Purchased Premium and Discount: The Company paid a deposit premium in the Liberty Merger and received a deposit discount in the Partners Share Exchange, which are included in the balances of time deposits on the balance sheets. The premium amount is amortized as a reduction in interest expense over the life of the acquired time deposits and the discount is accreted as an increase in interest expense over the life of the acquired time deposits. The premium and discount on deposits will both be amortized and accreted over approximately five years.

The following table provides changes in the net deposit discount for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019:

	September 30,		December 31,

Note 13. Virginia Partners Bank Transaction

On November 15, 2019, the Company completed its share exchange with Partners, a Virginia chartered commercial bank. Partners stockholders received 1.7179 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Partners common stock they owned as of the effective date of the share exchange. The aggregate consideration paid to Partners stockholders was $52.3 million. Additionally, $350 thousand was included as consideration for replacement stock option awards per the share exchange agreement and $2 thousand in cash in lieu of fractional shares. The results of Partners' operations are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for  the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and for the period beginning after November 15, 2019, the date of the effectiveness of the share exchange.

The acquisition resulted in three new branches, an operations center and administrative headquarters in Fredericksburg, Virginia, along with an additional branch office in La Plata, Maryland and a loan production office in Annapolis, Maryland.

The acquisition of Partners was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration paid were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess consideration paid over the fair value of net assets acquired has been reported as goodwill in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

40

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Partners were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management's best estimates using information available at the date of the acquisition and are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition. The items most susceptible to adjustment are the credit fair value adjustments on loans, core deposit intangible and the deferred income tax assets resulting from the acquisition.

In connection with the acquisition, the consideration paid and the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition are summarized in the following table:

	Estimated Fair
	Value as of
Dollars in Thousands	November 15, 2019
Consideration paid:

Common stock issued in acquisition		52,282
Stock options issued in acquisition (replacement awards)		350
Total consideration paid	$	52,634
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents		6,743
Investment securities		65,373
Investments in correspondent bank stock		3,670
Loans		357,127
Premises and equipment		3,627
Accrued interest receivable		1,155
Core deposit intangible		2,650
Deferred tax asset		1,239
Other assets		12,584
Total assets acquired	$	454,168
Liabilities assumed:
Deposits	$	348,552
Other liabilities		56,408
Total liabilities assumed	$	404,960
Net assets acquired	$	49,208
Noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiaries	$	728
Goodwill recorded in acquisition	$	4,154

Acquired loans (impaired and nonimpaired) are initially recorded at their acquisition date fair values using Level 3 inputs. Fair values are based on a discounted cash flow methodology that involves assumptions and judgments as to credit risk, expected life time losses, environmental factors, collateral values, discount rates, expected payments and expected prepayments. Specifically, the Company has prepared three separate loan fair value adjustments that it believes a market participant might employ in estimating the entire fair value adjustment necessary under ASC 820-10 for the acquired loan portfolio. The three separate fair valuation methodologies employed are: (i) an interest rate loan fair value adjustment, (ii) a general credit fair value adjustment, and (iii) a specific credit fair value adjustment for PCI loans subject to ASC 310-30 provisions. The acquired loans were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date without carryover of Partners’ previously established allowance for loan losses. The fair value of the financial assets acquired included loans receivable with a principal balance, prior to fair value adjustments, of $362.9 million.

41

The table below illustrates the fair value adjustments made to the amortized cost basis to present a fair value of the loans acquired:

Dollars in Thousands	At November 15, 2019
Gross principal balance	$	362,916
Fair value adjustment on pools of non-credit impaired loans		(4,990)
Fair value adjustment on PCI loans		(799)
Fair value of acquired loans	$	357,127

The credit adjustment on acquired impaired loans is derived in accordance with ASC 310-30 and represents the portion of the loan balances that have been deemed uncollectible based on the Company’s expectations of future cash flows for each respective loan:

Dollars in Thousands	At November 15, 2019
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition	$	6,713
Contractual cashflows not expected to be collected (non-accretable discount)		(1,371)
Expected cash flows at acquisition		5,342
Interest component of expected cash flows		(673)
Fair value for loans acquired under ASC 310-30	$	4,669

The fair value of savings and transaction deposit accounts acquired from Partners provide value to the Company as a source of below market rate funds. The fair value of the core deposit intangible was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate based on the estimated cost of capital for a market participant. To calculate cash flows, the sum of deposit account servicing costs (net of deposit fee income) and interest expense on deposits were compared to the cost of alternative funding sources available to the Company. The expected cash flows of the deposit base included estimated attrition rates. The core deposit intangible was valued at $2.7 million or 1.01% of total deposits. The core deposit intangible asset is being amortized on the sum of months method over 10 years.

Direct costs related to the merger were accrued and expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020he Company incurred $8 thousand in Partners merger-related expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 2020he Company incurred no Partners merger-related expenses.

Note 14. Revenue Recognition

The Company follows ASU No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as deposit related fees, interchange fees and merchant income. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided.

Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or at the end of the month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

42

Mortgage Banking Income

Mortgage banking income, which is included is noninterest income, consists of fees for loans originated by the Company through an application process that are sent to a mortgage broker. The loan application and underwriting processes are completed by other various financial institutions. The Company receives a pre-negotiated fee at settlement for initiating the loan origination. The Company receives the fee and recognizes the income when the loan goes to settlement.

Other Noninterest Income

Other noninterest income consists of: fees, exchange, other service charges, safety deposit box rental fees, and other miscellaneous revenue streams. Fees and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment.

Note 15. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Information about certain recently issued accounting standards updates is presented below.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”).” The amendments in ASU 2016-13, among other things, require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The FASB has issued multiple updates to ASU 2016-13 as codified in Topic 326, including ASU’s 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-10, 2019-11, 2020-02, and 2020-03. These ASU’s have provided for various minor technical corrections and improvements to the codification as well as other transition matters. Smaller reporting companies who file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and all other entities who do not file with the SEC are required to apply the guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements. We are currently working through our implementation plan which includes assessment and documentation of processes, internal controls and data sources; model development and documentation; and systems configuration, among other things. We are also in the process of implementing a third-party vendor solution to assist us in the application of ASU 2016-13.

The adoption of ASU 2016-13 could result in an increase in the allowance for credit losses as a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model, which encompasses allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, to an “expected loss” model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. Furthermore, ASU 2016-13 will necessitate that we establish an allowance for expected credit losses for certain debt securities and other financial assets. While we are currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13, we expect that the impact of adoption will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date.

43

Effective November 25, 2019, the SEC adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 119 (“SAB 119”).  SAB 119 updated portions of SEC interpretative guidance to align with ASC 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.”  It covers topics including (1) measuring current expected credit losses; (2) development, governance, and documentation of a systematic methodology; (3) documenting the results of a systematic methodology; and (4) validating a systematic methodology.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”).”  ASU 2019-12 is expected to reduce cost and complexity related to the accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions to general principles in Topic 740 (eliminating the need for an organization to analyze whether certain exceptions apply in a given period) and improving financial statement preparers’ application of certain income tax-related guidance. ASU 2019-12 is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to make narrow-scope simplifications and improvements to accounting standards through a series of short-term projects.  For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 2020-01”).”  ASU 2020-01 is based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and is expected to increase comparability in accounting for these transactions.  ASU 2020-01 made targeted improvements to accounting for financial instruments, including providing an entity the ability to measure certain equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.  Among other topics, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting.  For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2020-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”).” ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.  The Company is assessing ASU 2020-04 and its impact on the Company’s transition away from LIBOR for its loan and other financial instruments, and is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2020-04 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On March 12, 2020, the SEC finalized amendments to the definitions of its “accelerated filer” and “large accelerated filer” definitions. The amendments increase the threshold criteria for meeting these filer classifications and are effective on April 27, 2020. Any changes in filer status are to be applied beginning with the filer’s first annual report filed with the SEC subsequent to the effective date.  Prior to these changes, the Company had not  been required to comply with section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 concerning auditor attestation over internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) as an “accelerated filer” as it had less than $75 million in public float.  The rule change expands the definition of “smaller reporting companies” to include entities with public float of less than $700 million and less than $100 million in annual revenues.  The Company will continue to be a smaller reporting company under the expanded definition.  The classifications of “accelerated filer” and “large accelerated filer” require a public company to obtain an auditor attestation concerning the effectiveness of ICFR and include the opinion on ICFR in its annual report on Form 10-K.  Smaller reporting companies also have additional time to file quarterly and annual financial statements.  All public companies are required to obtain and file annual financial statement audits, as well as provide management’s assertion on effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, but the external auditor attestation of internal control over financial reporting is not required for smaller reporting companies.  This change does not affect the Company’s annual reporting and audit requirements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.(ASU 2020-06)” The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas. In addition, the amendment updates the disclosure requirements for convertible instruments to increase the information transparency. For public business entities, excluding smaller reporting companies, the amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  For all other entities, the standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable fees and Other Costs (ASU 2020-08).” This ASU clarifies that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of ASC paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is not permitted. All entities should apply ASU No. 2020-08 on a prospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption for existing or newly purchased callable debt securities. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-08 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment for all entities by requiring impairment charges to be based on the first step in the previous two-step impairment test. Under the new guidance, if a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an entity will record an impairment charge based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 eliminates the prior requirement to calculate a goodwill impairment charge using Step 2, which requires an entity to calculate any impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount. ASU 2017-04 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2020.   The guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by requiring that Level 3 fair value disclosures include the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop those fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. Certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 were also removed or modified. ASU 2018-13 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2020.  The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, (revised in April 2020) various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC, (“the Agencies”) issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by a novel strain of coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”). The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications. Under ASC 310-40, “Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” (“ASC 310-40”), a restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The Agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current

45

are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. The Company has granted loan payment deferrals to certain borrowers, who were current on their payments prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, on a short-term basis of three to six months. As of September 30, 2020, on a consolidated basis, the Company had approved loan payment deferrals or payments of interest only for 116 loans totaling $93.8 million. Management expects this interagency guidance to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements; however, the full impact cannot be quantified at this time.

Overview

Partners Bancorp, a bank holding corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, The Bank of Delmarva (“Delmarva”) and Virginia Partners Bank (“Partners”), each of which are commercial banking corporations, engages in general commercial banking operations, with eighteen branches throughout Wicomico, Charles, Anne Arundel, and Worcester Counties in Maryland, Sussex County in Delaware, Camden and Burlington Counties in New Jersey, the city of Fredericksburg, Virginia, and Spotsylvania County, Virginia.

The Company derives the majority of its income from interest received on our loans and investment securities. The primary source of funding for making these loans and investments are deposits and secondarily, borrowings. Consequently, one of the key measures of the Company’s success is the amount of net interest income, or the difference between the income on interest earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the expense on interest bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The resulting ratio of that difference as a percentage of average earning assets represents the net interest margin. Another key measure is the spread between the yield earned on interest earning assets and the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, which is called the net interest spread. In addition to earning interest on loans and investments, the Company earns income through fees and other charges to customers. Also included is a discussion of the various components of this noninterest income, as well as of noninterest expense.

48

There are risks inherent in all loans, so we maintain an allowance for credit losses to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. We maintain this allowance by charging a provision for credit losses as needed against our operating earnings for each period. We have included a detailed discussion of this process, as well as several tables describing our allowance for credit losses.

The Company plans to continue to grow both organically and possibly through future acquisitions, including potential expansion into new market areas. The Company believes its current financial condition, coupled with its scalable operational capabilities, will allow it to act upon growth opportunities in the current banking environment. The Company’s financial performance generally, and in particular the ability of its borrowers to repay their loans, the value of collateral securing those loans, as well as demand for loans and other products and services the Company offers, is highly dependent on the business environment in the Company’s primary markets where the Company operates and in the United States as a whole.

In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization (the “WHO”) declared the outbreak to constitute a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30, 2020. Over the course of the first quarter of 2020, COVID-19 developed into a worldwide outbreak and, on March 11, 2020, the WHO characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. On March 13, 2020, President Trump issued a proclamation declaring a national state of emergency in response to COVID-19. During the final two weeks of March 2020, the governors of multiple U.S. states, including Maryland, where the Company has its principal place of business, and Virginia and New Jersey, in which the Company has significant operations, issued stay-at-home orders that directed the closing of non-essential businesses and restricted public gatherings. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread in the Company’s areas of operation, the United States and across the globe. The pandemic has severely disrupted supply chains and adversely affected production, demand, sales and employee productivity across a range of industries and dramatically increased unemployment in the Company’s areas of operation and nationally. These events have affected the Company’s operations in the first three quarters of 2020 and are expected to impact the Company’s financial results throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2020. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, the impact on the Company’s customers, employees and vendors and the nature and effect of past and future federal and state governmental and private sector responses to the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

In connection with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, both Delmarva and Partners continue to follow their pandemic response plans, which were enacted in February 2020. To date, we believe that the plans have been implemented successfully. The operation of these plans continues to require daily oversight in order to properly navigate this complex and ever changing environment. The roll out of these plans previously resulted in adjustments to both Delmarva and Partners branch operations, including, but not limited to, lobby and drive-thru hours as well as physical access, the provision of personal protective equipment to employees and customers, and having employees work remotely whenever possible. As of September 30, 2020, both Delmarva and Partners branch operations are operating under normal lobby and drive-thru hours with no modifications or restrictions on physical access. In addition, the majority of Delmarva’s and Partners’ employees, with a few exceptions, have returned to the office on a full-time basis. Delmarva and Partners continue to proactively work with their local, state and federal government agencies to ensure their response to the COVID-19 pandemic is both safe and sound with as little disruption to their customers as possible. Additionally, Delmarva and Partners continue to take necessary precautions in order to protect our staff, customers and their families as well as our community, and to limit the ongoing impact of this virus.

Future developments with respect to COVID-19 are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted and new information may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Other national health concerns, including the outbreak of other contagious diseases or pandemics may adversely affect the Company in the future. Please refer to the “Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses” section of this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for more information related to payment deferrals, concentrations in higher risk industries, and the impact on the allowance for credit losses.

49

The following discussion and analysis also identifies significant factors that have affected the Company’s financial position and operating results during the periods included in the consolidated financial statements accompanying this report. You are encouraged to read this management's discussion and analysis in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain critical accounting policies affect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report as well as in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The accounting principles the Company follows and the methods of applying these principles conform to U.S. GAAP and general banking industry practices. The Company’s most critical accounting policy relates to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, which reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of borrowers to make loan payments. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance involves significant judgment and complexity and is based on many factors. If the financial condition of our borrowers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, the estimates would be updated and additional provisions for credit losses may be required. See “Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses” and Note 1 and Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020

Another of the Company’s critical accounting policies, with the acquisitions of Liberty in 2018 and Partners in 2019, relates to the valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other acquisition accounting adjustments. The Company accounted for the Liberty Merger and the Partners Share Exchange in accordance with ASC Topic No. 805, which requires the use of the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets acquired, including intangible assets, and liabilities assumed, are recorded at their fair value. Determination of fair value involves estimates based on internal valuations of discounted cash flow analyses performed, third party valuations, or other valuation techniques that involve subjective assumptions. Additionally, the term of the useful lives and appropriate amortization periods of intangible assets is subjective. Resulting goodwill from the Liberty Merger and the Partners Share Exchange, which totaled approximately $5.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively, under the acquisition method of accounting represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if deemed necessary. If the fair value of an asset exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, no charge to goodwill is made. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset, goodwill will be adjusted through a charge to earnings, which is limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In evaluating the goodwill on its consolidated balance sheet for impairment after the consummation date of the Liberty Merger and the Partners Share Exchange, the Company will first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our acquired assets is less than the carrying amount of the acquired assets, as allowed under ASU 2017-04. After making the assessment based on several factors, which will include, but is not limited to, the current economic environment, the economic outlook in our markets, our financial performance and common stock value as compared to our peers, we will determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of our assets is greater than their carrying amount and, accordingly, will determine whether impairment of goodwill should be recorded as a charge to earnings in years subsequent to the Liberty Merger and the Partners Share Exchange. This assessment was performed at the end of 2019, and resulted in no impairment of goodwill. Depending on the severity of the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on the Company, management may determine that goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment due to the presence of a triggering event, which may have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations. Management considered the impact of the pandemic on goodwill and determined that a triggering event had not occurred as of September 30, 2020. See Note 13 – Virginia Partners Bank Transaction in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 for more information related to the fair value of net assets acquired in the acquisition of Partners, including goodwill and intangible assets.

In addition to the Company’s policies related to the valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other acquisition accounting adjustments, ongoing accounting for acquired loans is considered a critical accounting policy.   Acquired loans are classified as either PCI loans or purchased performing loans and are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition.  PCI loans are those for which there is evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable at the date of acquisition that the Company will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. The

50

difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the “nonaccretable difference.” Any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the “accretable yield” and is recognized as interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows.  Periodically, we evaluate our estimate of cash flows expected to be collected on PCI loans. Estimates of cash flows for PCI loans require significant judgment. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses resulting in an increase to the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent significant increases in cash flows may result in a reversal of post-acquisition provision for loan losses or a transfer from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield that increases interest income over the remaining life of the loan, or pool(s) of loans. The Company accounts for purchased performing loans using the contractual cash flows method of recognizing discount accretion based on the acquired loans’ contractual cash flows. Purchased performing loans are recorded at fair value, including a credit discount.  The fair value discount is accreted as an adjustment to yield over the estimated lives of the loans. There is no allowance for credit losses established at the acquisition date for purchased performing loans, but a provision for credit losses may be required for any deterioration in these loans in future periods. The Company evaluates purchased performing loans quarterly for deterioration and records any required additional provision for credit losses.

On a quarterly basis, management makes an assessment to determine whether there have been events or economic circumstances to indicate that a security on which there is an unrealized loss is other-than-temporarily impaired. For debt securities with an unrealized loss, an other-than-temporary impairment write-down is triggered when (1) The Company has the intent to sell a debt security, (2) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or (3) The Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the debt security. If the Company has the intent to sell a debt security, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security before its recovery, the other-than-temporary write-down is equal to the entire difference between the debt security’s amortized cost and its fair value. If the Company does not intend to sell the security or it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, the other-than-temporary impairment write-down is separated into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the present value of its expected future cash flows. The remaining difference between the security’s fair value and the present value of future expected cash flows is due to factors that are not credit related and is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.

Results of Operations

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $1.1 million compared to net income for the same period in 2019 of $1.8 million, a decrease of $667 thousand or 37.4%. This decrease was mainly due to an increase in the provision for credit losses of $1.7 million, or 555.7%, and an increase in other expenses of $3.7 million or 40.4%, and was partially offset by increases in net interest income and other income, and lower federal and state income taxes. The increase in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was due to adjustments made to qualitative factors related to increasing risk within the loan portfolio due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $10.6 million compared to net interest income of $7.3 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of $3.3 million or 44.6%. Basic earnings per share were $0.06 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $0.18 for the same period in 2019. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $4.6 million compared to net income for the same period in 2019 of $4.9 million, a decrease of $371 thousand or 7.5%. Basic earnings per share were $0.26 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $0.49 for the same period in 2019. Average loan balances significantly increased during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2019, mainly due to the Partners acquisition. Average balances for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 were $1.056 billion and $1.039 billion, respectively, as compared to average balances for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 of $640.4 million and $644.2 million, respectively. The increase in loan balances was offset by the Company earning lower yields on those loans during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019. As the Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds rate the Company has seen downward pressure on its loan yield. The average balance of interest bearing deposits increased from $449.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 to

51

$830.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020. This caused interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to increase $1.1 million or 55.9% compared with the same period in 2019 while cost of funds for the same periods decreased 56 basis points. The average balance of interest bearing deposits increased from $444.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $788.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $3.7 million or 65.8% compared with the same period in 2019 while cost of funds for the same periods decreased eight basis points. The increase in interest expense were primarily due to the inclusion of $307.7 million in Partners average total interest-bearing deposit balances partially offset by decreases on rates of interest bearing deposits. Earnings and average asset and liability balances for three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were significantly impacted by the Partners Share Exchange, which closed on November 15, 2019.

Financial Condition

Consolidated assets totaled $1.544 billion at September 30, 2020, an increase of 23.3% or $291.4 million from December 31, 2019. The growth in assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is mainly attributable to an increase of $194.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, or 204.2%, growth in investment securities available for sale, at fair value, of $23.7 million, or 22.7%, and growth of loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, of $56.5 million or 5.7%. Cash and cash equivalents balances increased due to significant deposit growth in excess of loan growth and an increase in borrowings, partially offset by the increase in the available for sale investment security portfolio. Growth in available for sale investment securities were the result of management of the portfolio in light of the Company’s liquidity needs and an increase in unrealized gains on the investment securities available for sale portfolio. The significant inflow of deposits presented the Company with the opportunity to deploy excess cash and cash equivalents primarily into liquid, cash-flowing products while expanding net interest margin and increasing earnings per share. The increase in loans was mainly due to the origination and funding of approximately $64.2 million in PPP loans, which was partially offset by a decrease in organic loan growth due to higher pay-offs and decreased loan demand due to the uncertaintly surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Liabilities increased due to growth in total deposits outpacing total loan growth and an increase in other borrowings, which were partially offset by a decrease in FHLB borrowings. Deposits increased $228.1 million or 22.7% during the first nine months of 2020. The increase in deposits in both noninterest bearing accounts and savings and money market accounts, which grew by $131.6 million, or 50.3%, and $73.6 million, or 33.0%, respectively, and interest bearing demand, which grew $34.5 million, or 44.9%. Significant factors resulting in this change were organic growth as a result of our continued focus on total relationship banking, customers seeking the liquidity and safety of deposit accounts in light of continuing economic uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, and the funding of PPP loans, the proceeds of which are deposited directly into the operating account of these customers at the Company.Total borrowings as of September 30, 2020 were $163.9 million, an increase of $59.4 million, or 57.8%, from December 31, 2019. This increase was the result of an increase in borrowings at the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window under the PPP Liquidity Facility in which the PPP loans originated by the Company have been pledged as collateral, and the issuance of $18.1 million in subordinated debt in June 2020, which were partially offset by decreases in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings due to maturities that were not replaced.

Delmarva's Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 8.0% at September 30, 2020 as compared to 9.1% at December 31, 2019.

At September 30, 2020, nonperforming assets totaled $7.4 million, a decrease of $ 1.4from December 31, 2019 balances of $7.0 million. Nonaccrual loans totaled $4.3 million at September 30, 2020 compared with a balance of $4.5 million at December 31, 2019. There was one loan past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest with a balance of $286 thousand at September 30, 2020 compared to one loan past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at December 31, 2019 with a balance of $5 thousand. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans was 0.4% at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Other real estate owned as of September 30, 2020 was $2.8 million, as

compared to $2.4 million at December 31, 2019. Nonperforming assets to total assets as of September 30, 2020 ws 0.48%, as compared to 0.56% at December 31, 2019. Loans classified as TDRs totaled $9.9 million at September 30, 2020 and $10.3 million at December 31, 2019, a $- during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Net loans charged off during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $1.1 million, compared to $909 thousand forthe nine months ended September 30, 202019. The allowance for credit losses to total loans ratio was 1.1% at September 30, 2020 and 0.7% at December 31, 2019. The allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2020 does not include a reserve for approximately $64.2 million of PPP loans funded by the Company during the second quarter of 2020 because these loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA. In addition to the allowance for credit losses, there was an unamortized discount related to the loans acquired in the Liberty Merger and the Partners Share Exchange with a balance of $4.3 million at September 30, 2020 and $6.1 million at December 31, 2019. The accretable portion of this discount, which had a balance of $2.7 million at September 30, 2020, is being amortized over the life of the remaining loans.

Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2020 was $135.9 million, an increase of 3.9% during the first nine months of 2020. This increase was mainly due to income earned during the quarter, net of dividends of $1.3 million paid to stockholders and the increase in unrealized holding gains on securities available for sale during the period.

Earnings Analysis

The Company’s primary source of revenue is interest income and fees, which it earns by lending and investing the funds which are held on deposit. Because loans generally earn higher rates of interest than investments, the Company seeks to deploy as much of its deposit funds as possible in the form of loans to individuals, businesses, and other organizations. To ensure sufficient liquidity, the Company also maintains a portion of its deposits in cash, government securities, deposits with other financial institutions, and overnight loans of excess reserves (known as ‘‘Federal Funds Sold’’) to correspondent banks. The revenue which the Company earns (prior to deducting its overhead expenses) is essentially a function of the amount of the Company’s loans and deposits, as well as the profit margin (‘‘interest spread’’) and fee income which can be generated on these amounts.

The Company reported net income of $1.1 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and reported net income of $4.6 million and $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2020 and the notes thereto.

The following is a summary of the results of operations by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Net Interest Income

The largest component of net income for the Company is net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on assets and interest paid on deposits and borrowings used to support such assets. Net interest income is determined by the rates earned on the Company’s interest-earning assets and the rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities, the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the degree of mismatch and the maturity and repricing characteristics of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income was $10.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Net interest income was $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $21.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase is the direct result of increased loan volumes, including the increase in balances as a result of the Partners Share Exchange in late 2019 which increased the Company’s loan portfolio by $357.1 million.

In addition to the primary interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities held at Delmarva and Partners, the Company has additional borrowings with a balance, net of issuance costs, of $24.1 million at September 30, 2020 and $6.4 million at December 31, 2019. This increase was due to the subordinated loan agreement the Company entered into in June 2020 for an aggregate principal amount of $18.1 million. Interest expense on these borrowings, which is included in consolidated net income, was approximately $633 thousand and $337 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the consolidated net interest spread, the difference between the yield on interest earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, was 2.5% compared to 3.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The consolidated net interest margin (which is net interest income divided by average interest earning assets), calculated on a tax equivalent basis, was 2.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 3.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities at the Company were 1.2% and 1.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in the net interest margin (tax equivalent basis) was primarily due to a decrease in the yields earned on average loans and investment securities. Total interest income increased by $4.4 million, or 47.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 while total interest expense increased by $1.1 million, or 55.9%, both as compared to the same period in 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the consolidated net interest spread was 2.8% compared to 3.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The consolidated net interest margin, calculated on a tax equivalent basis, was 3.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 3.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities at the Company were 1.4% and 1.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in the net interest margin (tax equivalent basis) was primarily due to a decrease in the yields earned on average loans and investment securities, and higher average balances of interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s net interest margin (tax equivalent basis) was also negatively impacted by higher average balances of cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits from banks and federal funds sold which are lower yielding interest-earning assets. Total interest income increased by $14.5 million, or 52.6%, for the nine months ended

54

September 30, 2020 while total interest expense increased by $3.7 million, or 65.8%, both as compared to the same period in 2019. The most significant factors impacting net interest income during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 were (1) increases in average loan balances, primarily due to the acquisition of Partners, partially offset by lower loan yields, (2) increases in average investment securities balances, primarily due to the acquisition of Partners, partially offset by lower investment securities yields, (3) decrease in the rate paid on average interest-bearing deposit balances, primarily due to lower rates paid on average time deposits, partially offset by increases in average interest-bearing deposit balances, primarily due to the acquisition of Partners and organic deposit growth, (4) increases in average cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits from banks and federal funds sold, primarily due to the acquisition of Partners and deposit growth outpacing loan growth, and lower yields on each, and (5) increases in average borrowings balances, partially offset by lower rates paid on borrowings, in each case primarily due to the acquisition of Partners and the Company’s issuance of subordinated debt late in the second quarter of 2020.

Interest earned on assets and interest accrued on liabilities is also significantly influenced by market factors, specifically interest rate targets established by the Federal Reserve.

The Federal Open Markets Committee (“FOMC”) lowered Federal Funds target rates for the first time in 11 years on July 31, 2019 and then again in September 2019 and October 2019, for a combined decrease of 75 basis points during 2019. In response to market volatility related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FOMC again lowered Federal Funds target rates twice in March 2020, for a combined decrease of 150 basis points. The FOMC’s current Federal Funds target rate range is currently 0% to 0.25%. As a consequence, long-term interest rates have decreased. The Company anticipates that these actions by the FOMC will continue to put downward pressure on its net interest margin. In general, the Company believes rate increases lead to improved net interest margins whereas rate decreases result in correspondingly lower net interest margins.

The following table depicts, for the periods indicated, certain information related to the average balance sheet and average yields on assets and average costs of liabilities for the Company. Such yields or costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of the corresponding assets or liabilities. Average balances have been derived from daily averages.

Interest Sensitivity. The Company monitors and manages the pricing and maturity of its assets and liabilities in order to diminish the potential adverse impact that changes in interest rates could have on its net interest income. The Company also performs asset/liability modeling to assess the impact varying interest rates and balance sheet mix assumptions will have on net interest income. Interest rate sensitivity can be managed by repricing assets or liabilities, selling securities available-for-sale, replacing an asset or liability at maturity, or adjusting the interest rate during the life of an asset or liability. Managing the amount of assets and liabilities repricing in the same time interval helps to hedge the risk and minimize the impact on net interest income of rising or falling interest rates. The Company evaluates interest sensitivity risk and then formulates guidelines regarding asset generation and repricing, funding sources and pricing, and off-balance sheet commitments in order to decrease interest rate sensitivity risk.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was asset sensitive within the one-year time frame when looking at a repricing gap analysis. The cumulative gap as a percentage of total assets up to one year was 20.0% and 14.0% as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. A positive gap indicates more assets than liabilities are repricing within the indicated time frame.

Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company has developed policies and procedures for evaluating the overall quality of its credit portfolio and for timely identifying potential problem loans. Management’s judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance is based upon past charge-off history and assumptions regarding qualitative factors related to the current environment and the economy, which it believes to be reasonable, however may not prove to be accurate. Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for credit losses or that additional increases in the allowance for credit losses will not be required.

The Company’s allowance consists of two parts. The first part is determined in accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the FASB regarding the allowance. The Company’s determination of this part of the allowance is based upon quantitative and qualitative factors. A loan loss history based upon the prior three years is utilized in determining the appropriate allowance. Historical loss factors are determined by criticized and uncriticized loans by loan type. These historical loss factors are applied to the loans by loan type to determine an indicated allowance. The historical loss factors may also be modified based upon other qualitative factors including, but not limited to, local and national economic conditions, trends of delinquent loans, changes in lending policies and underwriting standards, concentrations, and management’s knowledge of the loan portfolio.

The second part of the allowance is determined in accordance with guidance issued by the FASB regarding impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis. Impaired loans not deemed collateral dependent are analyzed according to the ultimate repayment source, whether that is cash flow from the borrower, guarantor or some other source of repayment. Impaired loans are deemed collateral dependent if in the Company’s opinion the ultimate source of repayment will be generated from the liquidation of collateral.

The sum of the two parts constitutes management’s best estimate of an appropriate allowance for credit losses. When the estimated allowance is determined, it is presented to the Company’s Board of Directors for review and approval on a quarterly basis.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s allowance for credit losses amounted to approximately $11.4 million and $7.3 million, or 1.1% and 0.7% of outstanding loans, respectively. The Company’s provision for loan losses was $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $300 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The Company’s provision for credit losses was $5.1 million for the

59

nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $900 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase in the provision for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 compared with the same periods in 2019 was primarily related to the COVID-19 pandemic and qualitative adjustment factors made to the allowance for credit losses related to rising unemployment and economic uncertainty in the Company’s markets; however, it was also partially due to the inclusion of Partners. The provision for credit losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, as well as the allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2020, represents management’s best estimate of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the ability of the Company’s borrowers to repay their loans. Management continues to carefully assess the exposure of the Company’s loan portfolio to the COVID-19 pandemic related factors, including economic trends and their potential effect on asset quality. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s delinquencies and nonperforming assets have not been materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company discontinues accrual of interest on loans when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts that a borrower’s financial condition is such that the collection of interest is doubtful. Generally, the Company will place a delinquent loan in nonaccrual status when the loan becomes 90 days or more past due. At the time a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, all interest which has been accrued on the loan but remains unpaid is reversed and deducted from earnings as a reduction of reported interest income. No additional interest is accrued on the loan balance until the collection of both principal and interest becomes reasonably certain.

The following table illustrates the Company’s past due and nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Nonaccrual loans decreased $195 thousand over the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $4.3 million. At December 31, 2019, the Company had $4.5 million of loans classified as nonaccrual. During the first nine months of 2020 the Company moved an additional $1.5 million of loans to nonaccrual status. This increase in loans classified as nonaccruals was offset by paydowns on other loans classified as nonaccrual. Management believes these relationships were adequately reserved at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. TDRs must have nine months of continuous contractual payments to return to accrual status. TDRs not past due or classified as nonaccrual at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 amounted to $7.9 million and $8.4 million, respectively. Total TDRs decreased $403 thousand

60

from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020. This decrease is attributable to paydowns of loan balances on loans considered TDRs, offset by one loan relationship with a balance of $500 thousand at September 31, 2020, which was also classified as a TDR during the first quarter of 2020.

Nonperforming assets, defined as nonaccrual loans, loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest and still accruing, and OREO, at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $7.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively. The Company’s ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.48% at September 30, 2020 and 0.56% at December 31, 2019. This decrease is mainly due to asset growth as well as the decrease in nonaccruals over the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

It is likely that the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic disruption related to it will negatively impact the Company’s financial position and operating results for the balance of 2020. Although it is too early to determine what the ultimate impact will be on the Company, we believe we may experience deterioration in asset quality, increased levels of charge-offs, and an increased level of provision for credit losses.

The following tables provide additional information on the Company’s nonperforming assets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

On March 22, 2020 (revised April 7, 2020), the five federal bank regulatory agencies and the Conference of State Bank Supervisors issued joint guidance with respect to loan modifications for borrowers affected by COVID-19 (the “March 22 Joint Guidance”). The March 22 Joint Guidance encouraged banks, savings associations, and credit unions to make loan modifications for borrowers affected by COVID-19 and, importantly, assured those financial institutions that they will not (i) receive supervisory criticism for such prudent loan modifications and (ii) be required by examiners to automatically categorize COVID-19-related loan modifications as TDRs. The federal banking regulators confirmed with FASB that short-term loan modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current (i.e., less than 30 days past due on contractual payments) prior to any loan modification are not TDRs.

In addition, Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) signed into law by President Trump on March 27, 2020 provides banks, savings associations, and credit unions with the ability to make loan modifications related to COVID-19 without categorizing the loans as a TDR or conducting the analysis to make the determination, which is intended to streamline the loan modification process. Any such suspension is effective for the term of the loan modification; however, the suspension is only permitted for loan modifications made during the effective period and only for those loans that were not more than thirty (30) days past due as of December 31, 2019.

In an effort to support the Company’s borrowers in their times of need, the Company has granted loan payment deferrals to certain borrowers, who were current on their payments prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, on a short-term basis of three to six months. As of September 30, 2020, on a consolidated basis, the Company had approved loan payment deferrals or payments of interest only for 116 loans totaling $93.8 million, all of which are still accruing interest, which represents approximately 9.4% of total loans outstanding. At June 30, 2020 the Company had approved loan payment deferrals or payments of interest only for loans totaling $286.6 million, which represented approximately 28.8% of total loans outstanding. This decrease of $192.8 million in loans balances consists of 432 loans, which demonstrates that a significant portion of the portfolio returned to a normal payment schedule during the third quarter.

The following table presents a summary of the loan payment deferrals, full payment and interest only payment deferrals, as a of percentage of the number of loans outstanding and loan balances outstanding, granted by the Company as of September 30, 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic:

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest Income. The Company’s primary source of noninterest income is service charges on deposit accounts. Other sources of noninterest income include ATM activity income, debit card income, safe deposit box income, mortgage banking income at Delmarva, mortgage banking income related to Partners’ majority owned subsidiary JMC, and earnings on bank owned life insurance policies.

66

Noninterest income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $1.2 million and $3.3 million, or 109.0% and 122.0%, respectively, over the same periods in 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to the Partners Share Exchange, which contributed $1.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, to the Company’s noninterest income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $98 thousand and $233 thousand, or 33.4% and 27.0%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same time periods in 2019. These decreases were due primarily to a decrease in overdraft and nonsufficient fund balance fees, which is a result of the increase in deposit balances. Gains on sale of investment securities decreased by $97 thousand and increased by $471 thousand, respectively, during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods of 2019. During the nine months ended September 30,, the Company recorded a gain of $381 thousand on the sale of $17.5 million in mortgage-backed investment securities that was not present during the same periods ended September 30, 2019. The sale of the investment securities allowed the Company to take advantage of temporarily inflated prices in agency pass-through securities, harvest a one-time gain that is not exhauseted over the life of the investment securities sold, and reduce premium risk as prepayment speeds on these investment securities were projected to pick up. The Company reinvested the sales proceeds and deployed excess cash through the purchase of $38.7 million in mortgage-backed investment securities. The remaining increases were due primarily to gains on investment securities that were called as well as equity investment gains recorded in income during the first three quarters of 2020 due to market factors that were not present during the first nine months of 2019. In addition, mortgage banking income increased by $1.3 million and $2.6 million, or 100%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the same periods in 2019. This new income stream is due to the acquisition of Partners late in 2019 and their majority owned subsidiary, Johnson Mortgage.

Noninterest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 increased $3.7 million and $10.6 million, or 67.7% and 63.8%, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2019. The significant increase is due to the Partners Share Exchange which contributed $3.8 million and $10.6 million towards the Company’s noninterest expense total for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $2.3 million and $6.3 million, or 83.8% and 74.1%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019. These increases were primarily due to the inclusion of $2.2 million and $6.0 million in Partners salaries and employee benefits and increases due to staffing related changes, merit increases and benefit costs for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019. Premises and equipment expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased by $252 thousand and $676 thousand, or 28.1% and 24.7%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. These increases were primarily due to the inclusion of $244 thousand and $742 thousand in Partners premises and equipment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and were partially offset by decreases in repairs and maintenance costs and the expiration of legacy Liberty maintenance and software contracts. Other expenses increased by $1.1 million and $3.4 million, or 70.2% and 67.1%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the same periods in 2019. These increases were primarily due to the inclusion of $1.2 million and $3.6 million in Partners other expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, along with increases in legal, accounting, listing, and directors fees. These increases were offset by decreases related to sponsorships, FDIC insurance assessments, training, travel, miscellaneous operating expenses and merger costs.

Income Taxes

During the three month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $308 thousand in the provision for income taxes, compared to $810 thousand for the same period in 2019. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $1.4 million in the provision for income taxes, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2019. The provision for income taxes approximated 18.5% and 31.2% of income for the three month period ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The provision for income taxes approximated 22.2% and 30.5% of income before taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This decrease is caused by lower merger expenses, which are typically non-deductible, during the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 as well as the decrease in pretax income in 2020 as compared to 2019.

In addition, Partners is not subject to Virginia state income tax, but instead pays Virginia franchise tax. The Virginia franchise tax paid by Partners is recorded in the “Other expenses” line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income for three and nine months ended September 30, 2020

Earning Assets

Loans. Loans typically provide higher yields than the other types of earning assets, and thus one of the Company’s goals is to increase loan balances. Management attempts to control and counterbalance the inherent credit and liquidity risks associated with the higher loan yields without sacrificing asset quality to achieve its asset mix goals. Gross loans averaged $1.039 billion and $686.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

At September 30, 2020, other real estate secured loans included $251.2 million of owner-occupied non-farm, non-residential loans, and $263.8 million of other non-farm, non-residential loans, which is 28.7% and 30.2% of real estate mortgage loans, respectively. These balances represent an increase at September 30, 2020 of $13.1 million and $12.5 million, or 5.2% and 4.8%, in owner-occupied non-farm, non-residential loans and other non-farm, non-residential loans, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.The real estate mortgage category also included $41.0 million of construction and land development loans and $26.7 million of multi-family residential loans at September 30, 2020. Construction and land development as well as multi-family residential loans decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 by $7.0 million and $358 thousand, or 17.0% and 1.3%, respectively. Commercial real estate loans, not including owner-occupied real estate loans, were 277.3% of risk-based capital at September 30, 2020, as compared to 288.5% at December 31, 2019. Construction and land development loans were 56.4% of risk-based capital at September 30, 2020, as compared to 67.3% at December 31, 2019.

At September 30, 2020, real estate mortgage loans included home equity loans of $33.6 million and residential real estate loans of $201.8 million, compared to $37.7 million and $209.3 million at December 31, 2019, respectively. Home equity revolving loans decreased approximately $4.3 million or 13.0% during 2020, while residential real estate loans decreased $11.2 million or 5.5%. At September 30, 2020, commercial loans included $175.1 million of commercial and industrial loans, compared to $112.0 million at December 31, 2019, an increase of approximately $63.5 million or 36.3%. Increases in all categories of loans primarily reflects organic growth.

Beginning in March 2020, both Delmarva and Partners began assisting their customers in obtaining PPP loans in order to further assist their communities. Delmarva has provided access for customers and noncustomers to the program, allowing individuals or businesses visiting their website to access the SBA’s loan application and complete the process through a third party vendor. Loans processed through Delmarva’s website are funded by other banks or outside funding sources. Partners, an approved SBA lender, directly originated and funded PPP loans for its customers totaling approximately $64.2 million. In addition, Partners has funded these PPP loans through its participation in the Federal Reserve Bank’s PPP Liquidity Facility.

Investment Securities. The investment debt securities portfolio is a significant component of the Company’s total interest earning assets. Total investment securities averaged $125.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which represents 9.3% of average interest earning assets for the period. Total investment securities averaged $61.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, which represents 7.6% of average interest earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in average investment securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 was due to additional investment securities obtained as a result of the strategic management of the Company’s liquidity position as well as an increase in the unrealized gains on the investment securities portfolio.

The Company classifies all of its investment securities as available for sale. This classification requires that investment securities be recorded at their fair value with any difference between the fair value and amortized cost (the purchase price adjusted by any discount accretion or premium amortization) reported as a component of stockholders’ equity (accumulated other comprehensive income), net of deferred taxes. At September 30, 2020, available for sale

69

investment securities totaled $128.0 million, an increase of $23.7 million over the December 31, 2019 balance of $104.3 million. The Company attempts to maintain a portfolio of high quality, highly liquid investments with returns competitive with short-term U.S. Treasury or agency obligations. This objective is particularly important as the Company focuses on growing its loan portfolio. The Company primarily invests in securities of U.S. Government agencies, municipals, mortgage-backed securities, and corporate obligations. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 there were no issuers, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, whose securities owned by the Company had a book or fair value exceeding 10% of the Company’s stockholders’ equity.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair value of securities available for sale for the dates indicated:

In addition, the Company holds stock in various correspondent banks. The balance of these securities was $4.4 million at September 30, 2020 and $5.3 million at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $891 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Due to the rapid decline and ongoing volatility in the securities markets, as well as the rapid interest rate cuts, during the first half of 2020, the net unrealized gains in the Company’s investment securities portfolio increased by approximately $1.9 million, or 189.1%, to $2.9 million at September 30, 2020. 

Subsequent interest rate fluctuations could have an adverse effect on our investment portfolio by increasing reinvestment risk and reducing our ability to achieve our targeted investment returns.

Liquidity Management

Liquidity management involves monitoring the Company’s sources and uses of funds in order to meet its day-to-day cash flow requirements while maximizing profits. Liquidity represents the ability of a company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management is made more complicated because different balance sheet components are subject to varying degrees of management control. For example, the timing of maturities of the investment portfolio is very predictable and subject to a high degree of control at the time investment decisions are made; however, net deposit inflows and outflows are far less predictable and are not subject to the same degree of control. Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable, which can be pledged, or which will mature in the near future. Liability liquidity is provided by access to core funding sources, principally the ability to generate customer deposits in the Company’s market area. The Company’s Federal Funds Sold position averaged $35.7 million during the period ended September 30, 2020 and totaled $34.3 million at September 30, 2020, as compared to an average of $9.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 and a year-end position of $31.2 million at December 31, 2019. The Company has available advances from the FHLB. Advances available are generally based upon the amount of qualified first mortgage loans which can be used for collateral. At September 30, 2020, advances available totaled approximately $373.8 million of which $74.3 million had been drawn, or used for letters of credit. At December 31, 2019, advances available totaled approximately $308.6 million of which $96.8 million had been drawn, or used for letters of credit. Management regularly reviews the liquidity position of the Company and has implemented internal policies which establish guidelines for sources of asset-based liquidity and limit the total amount of purchased funds used to support the balance sheet and funding from non-core sources.

Impact of Inflation

Unlike most industrial companies, the assets and liabilities of financial institutions such as the Company are primarily monetary in nature. Therefore, interest rates have a more significant effect on the Company’s performance than do the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and change in prices. In addition, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. As discussed previously, management seeks to manage the relationships between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide interest rate fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

The following information is intended to update, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained under the caption “Supervision and Regulation” in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the supplement related thereto contained under the same caption in the the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on May 15, 2020 and June 30, 2020 filed with the SEC on August 13, 2020.

The CARES Act

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by the President of the United States. The CARES Act provided for approximately $2.2 trillion in direct economic relief in response to the public health and economic impacts of COVID-19. Many of the CARES Act’s programs are, and remain, dependent upon the direct involvement of U.S. financial institutions like the Company, Delmarva and Partners. These programs have been  implemented through rules and guidance adopted by federal departments and agencies, including the U.S. Department of Treasury, the Federal Reserve and other federal bank regulatory authorities, including those with direct supervisory jurisdiction over the Company, Delmarva and Partners. Furthermore, as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, federal regulatory authorities continue to issue additional guidance with respect to the implementation, lifecycle, and eligibility requirements for the various CARES Act programs, as well as industry-specific recovery procedures for COVID-19. In addition, it is possible that Congress will enact supplementary COVID-19 response legislation, including new bills comparable in scope to the CARES Act, prior to the end of 2020.

74

Set forth below is a brief overview of select provisions of the CARES Act and  other regulations and supervisory guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic that are applicable to the operations and activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, including both Delmarva and Partners. The following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the CARES Act and the statutes, regulations, and policies described herein. Future legislation and/or amendments to the provisions of the CARES Act or changes to any of the statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries could have a material effect on the Company Such legislation and related regulations and supervisory guidance will be implemented over time and will remain subject to review by Congress and the implementing regulations issued by federal regulatory authorities. The Company continues to assess the impact of the CARES Act, the potential impact of new COVID-19 legislation and other statutes, regulations and supervisory guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Paycheck Protection Program. A principal provision of the CARES Act amended the SBA’s loan program, which Partners participates in, to create a guaranteed, unsecured loan program, the PPP, to fund operational costs of eligible businesses, organizations and self-employed persons during COVID-19.  On June 5, 2020, the President signed the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (“PPFA”) into law, which among other things, gave borrowers additional time and flexibility to use PPP loan proceeds. Shortly thereafter, and due to the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the President signed additional legislation authorizing the SBA to resume accepting PPP applications on July 6, 2020 and extending the PPP application deadline to August 8, 2020. As a participating lender in the PPP, Partners continues to monitor legislative, regulatory, and supervisory developments related thereto.

Troubled Debt Restructuring and Loan Modifications for Affected Borrowers. The CARES Act permits banks to suspend requirements under U.S. GAAP for loan modifications to borrowers affected by COVID-19 that would otherwise be characterized as TDRs and suspend any determination related thereto if (i) the loan modification is made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of December 31, 2020 or 60 days after the end of the COVID-19 emergency declaration and (ii) the applicable loan was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. Federal bank regulatory authorities also  issued guidance to encourage banks to make loan modifications for borrowers affected by COVID-19 and to assure banks that they will not be criticized by examiners for doing so.

Debt Guarantees, Account Insurance Increase, and Temporary Lending Limit Relief. The CARES Act also authorized several key initiatives directly applicable to federal bank regulatory authorities, including (i) the establishment of a program by the FDIC to guarantee the debt obligations of solvent insured depository institutions and their affiliates (including their holding companies) through December 31, 2020 and (ii) an increase by the FDIC and the National Credit Union Association to the insurance coverage on any noninterest-bearing transaction accounts through December 31, 2020.

Federal Reserve Programs and Other Recent Initiatives

Main Street Lending Program. The CARES Act encouraged the Federal Reserve, in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury, to establish or implement various programs to help midsize businesses, nonprofits, and municipalities. On April 9, 2020, the Federal Reserve proposed the creation of  the Main Street Lending Program (“MSLP”) to implement certain of these recommendations. On June 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston opened the MSLP for lender registration. The MSLP supports lending to small- and medium-sized businesses that were in sound financial condition before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The MSLP operates through three facilities: the Main Street New Loan Facility, the Main Street Priority Loan Facility, and the Main Street Expanded Loan Facility. The Federal Reserve is currently working to refine the MSLP’s operational infrastructure and facilities and is expected to release further rules and operational guidance. Partners has registered as a lender under the MSLP and continues to monitor developments related thereto.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

With the exception of the Company’s obligations in connection with its irrevocable letters of credit and loan commitments, the Company has no other off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources, that is material to investors.

Nature of Business and Its Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business and Its Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1. Nature of Business and Its Significant Accounting Policies

Partners Bancorp (the “Company”) is a multi-bank holding company with two wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”), The Bank of Delmarva (“Delmarva”), a commercial bank headquartered in Seaford, Delaware that operates primarily in Wicomico and Worcester counties in Maryland, Sussex County in Delaware, and Camden and Burlington counties in New Jersey, and Virginia Partners Bank (“Partners”), a commercial bank headquartered in Fredericksburg, Virginia that operates primarily in and around the greater Fredericksburg, Virginia area, including Stafford County, Spotsylvania County, King George County, Caroline County, and the City of Fredericksburg, Virginia.  Partners also operates in Anne Arundel County and the three counties of Southern Maryland, including Charles County, Calvert County, and St. Mary’s County.  The Subsidiaries engage in the general banking business and provide a broad range of financial services to individual and corporate customers, and are subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Subsidiaries are also subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its Subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and practices within the banking industry.

Significant accounting policies not disclosed elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company; the Subsidiaries, along with their consolidated subsidiaries: Delmarva Real Estate Holdings, LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of Delmarva, which is a real estate holding company; Davie Circle, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Delmarva, which is a real estate holding company; Delmarva BK Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Delmarva, which is a real estate holding company; DHB Development, LLC, of which Delmarva holds a 40.55% interest, and is a real estate holding company; West Nithsdale Enterprises, LLC, of which Delmarva holds a 10% interest, and is a real estate holding company; and FBW, LLC, of which Delmarva holds 50% interest, and is a real estate holding company; Bear Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Partners, and is a real estate holding company; Johnson Mortgage Company, LLC, of which Partners owns 51% interest, and is a residential mortgage company; and 410 William Street, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Partners, and which holds investment property. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Financial Statement Presentation:

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

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

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities Available for Sale:

Marketable debt securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are acquired as part of the Subsidiaries' asset/liability management strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, loan demand, changes in prepayment risk, and other factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value as determined by quoted market prices. Unrealized gains or losses based on the difference between amortized cost and fair value are reported in other comprehensive income, net of deferred tax. Realized gains and losses, using the specific identification method, are included as a separate component of other income (expense) and, when applicable, are reported as a reclassification adjustment, net of tax, in other comprehensive income. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Additionally, declines in the fair value of individual investment securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses in the consolidated statements of income.

Impairment may result from credit deterioration of the issuer or collateral underlying the security.  In performing an assessment of recoverability, all relevant information is considered, including the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, the cause of the price decline, credit performance of the issuer and underlying collateral, and recoveries or further declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.

For debt securities, the Company measures and recognizes other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses through earnings if (1) the Company has the intent to sell the security or (2) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. In these circumstances, the impairment loss is equal to the full difference between the amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security.  For securities that are considered OTTI that the Company has the intent and ability to hold in an unrealized loss position, the OTTI write-down is separated into an amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and the amount related to other factors, which is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”).

Restricted Stock, Equity Securities and Other Investments:

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock, at cost, and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank (“ACBB”), at cost, Community Bankers Bank (“CBB”) and Maryland Financial Bank (“MFB”) are equity interests in the FHLB, ACBB, CBB and MFB, respectively. These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value for purposes of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320‑10 Investments‑Debts and Equity Securities because their ownership is restricted and they lack an active market. As there is no readily determinable fair value for these securities, they are carried at cost less any OTTI.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in net income. Any equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments. The entirety of any impairment on equity securities is recognized in earnings.

Other investments includes an equity ownership of Solomon Hess SBA Loan Fund LLC which the value is adjusted for its prorata share of assets in the fund and investment in the stock of the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”).  Other investments also includes equity securities the Company holds with Community Capital Management in their Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) Qualified Investment Fund.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives.  Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other changes or amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses:

Loans are generally carried at the amount of unpaid principal, adjusted for unearned loan fees, which are amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest rate method. Interest on loans is accrued based on the principal amounts outstanding. It is the Subsidiaries' policy to discontinue the accrual of interest when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for ninety days or more. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Cash collections on such loans are applied as reductions of the loan principal balance and no interest income is recognized on those loans until the principal balance has been collected. Interest income on other nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received. The carrying value of impaired loans is based on the present value of the loan's expected future cash flows or, alternatively, the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and is based on the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, an assessment of individual problem loans and actual loss experience, the value of the underlying collateral, and current economic events in specific industries and geographical areas, including unemployment levels, and other pertinent factors, including regulatory guidance and general economic conditions. Determination of the allowance for credit losses is inherently subjective, as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance for credit losses, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance for credit losses. A provision for credit losses is charged to operations based on management's periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors. Evaluations are conducted at least monthly and more often if deemed necessary.

The allowance for credit losses typically consists of an allocated component and an unallocated component. The allocated component of the allowance for credit losses reflects expected losses resulting from analyses developed through specific credit allocations for individual loans and historical loss experience for each loan category.

The specific credit allocations are based on regular analyses of all loans that are considered impaired.  Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.The historical loan loss element is determined statistically using an informal loss migration analysis that examines loss experience and the related internal gradings of loans charged off.  The loss migration analysis is performed quarterly and loss factors are updated regularly based on actual experience. The allocated component of the allowance for credit losses also includes consideration of concentrations and changes in portfolio mix and volume.

Any unallocated portion of the allowance for credit losses reflects management's estimate of probable inherent but undetected losses within the loan portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable information about a borrower's financial condition, the difficulty in identifying triggering events that correlate perfectly to subsequent loss rates, and risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation factors. In addition, the unallocated portion of the allowance for credit losses includes a component that explicitly accounts for the inherent imprecision in loan loss migration models. The historical losses used in the migration analysis may not be representative of actual unrealized losses inherent in the loan portfolio. It is management's intent to continually refine the methodology for the allowance for credit losses in an attempt to directly allocate potential losses in the loan portfolio under ASC Topic 310 and minimize the unallocated portion of the allowance for credit losses.

Loan Charge‑off Policies

Loans are generally fully or partially charged down to the fair value of securing collateral when:

· management deems the asset to be uncollectible;

· repayment is deemed to be made beyond the reasonable time frames;

· the asset has been classified as a loss by internal or external review; and

· the borrower has filed bankruptcy and the loss becomes evident owing to a lack of assets.

Acquired Loans

Loans acquired in connection with business combinations are recorded at their acquisition‑date fair value with no carry over of related allowance for credit losses. Any allowance for credit loss on these pools reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition (meaning the present value of all cash flows expected at acquisition that ultimately are not expected to be received). Determining the fair value of the acquired loans involves estimating the principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at a market rate of interest. Management considers a number of factors in evaluating the acquisition‑date fair value including the remaining life of the acquired loans, delinquency status, estimated prepayments, payment options and other loan features, internal risk grade, estimated value of the underlying collateral and interest rate environment.

Acquired loans that meet the criteria for nonaccrual of interest prior to the acquisition may be considered performing upon acquisition, regardless of whether the customer is contractually delinquent, if we can reasonably estimate the timing and amount of the expected cash flows on such loans and if we expect to fully collect the new carrying value of the loans, including the impact of any accretable yield.

Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310‑30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (ASC 310‑30) if, at acquisition, the loans have evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination and it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected. At acquisition, the Company considers several factors as an indicator that an acquired loan has evidence of deterioration in credit quality. These factors include; loans 90 days or more past due, loans with an internal risk grade of substandard or below, loans classified as non‑accrual by the acquired institution, and loans that have been previously modified in a troubled debt restructuring.

Under the ASC 310‑30 model, the excess of cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition over recorded fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is the interest component of expected cash flow. The accretable yield is recognized into income over the remaining life of the loan if the timing and/or amount of cash flows expected to be collected can be reasonably estimated (the accretion method). If the timing or amount of cash flows expected to be collected cannot be reasonably estimated, the cost recovery method of income recognition is used. The difference between the loan's total scheduled principal and interest payment over all cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition, considering the impact of prepayments, is referred to as the non‑accretable difference. The non‑accretable difference represents contractually required principal and interest payments which the Company does not expect to collect.

Over the life of the loan, management continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments through a charge to the provision for credit losses resulting in an increase in the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent improvements in cash flows result in first, reversal of existing valuation allowances recognized subsequent to acquisition, if any, and next, an increase in the amount of accretable yield to be subsequently recognized as interest income on a prospective basis over the loan's remaining life.

Acquired loans that were not individually determined to be purchased with deteriorated credit quality are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310‑20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (ASC 310‑20), whereby the premium or discount derived from the fair market value adjustment, on a loan‑by‑loan or pooled basis, is recognized into interest income on a level yield basis over the remaining expected life of the loan or pool.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A loan is accounted for and reported as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when, for economic or legal reasons, we grant a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty that we would not otherwise consider.  Management strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and works with them to modify to more affordable terms before their loan reaches nonaccrual status.  These modified terms may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral.  A restructuring that results in only an insignificant delay in payment is not considered a concession.  A delay may be considered insignificant if the payments subject to the delay are insignificant relative to the unpaid principal or collateral value and the contractual amount due, or the delay in timing of the restructured payment period is insignificant relative to the frequency of the payments, the debt’s original contractual maturity or original expected duration.

TDRs are designated as impaired loans because interest and principal payments will not be received in accordance with the original contract terms.  TDRs that are performing and on accrual status as of the date of the modification remain on accrual status.  TDRs that are nonperforming as of the date of modification generally remain as nonaccrual until the prospect of future payments in accordance with the modified loan agreement is reasonably assured, generally demonstrated when the borrower maintains compliance with the restructured terms for a predetermined period, normally at least six months.  TDRs with temporary below-market concessions remain designated as a TDR and impaired regardless of the accrual or performance status until the loan is paid off.  However, if the TDR loan has been modified in a subsequent restructure with market terms and the borrower is not currently experiencing financial difficulty, then the loan may be no longer designated as a TDR.

Loans Held for Sale:

These loans consist of loans made through Partners’ majority owned subsidiary Johnson Mortgage Company, LLC (“JMC”). 

JMC is engaged in the mortgage brokerage business in which JMC originates, closes, and immediately sells mortgage loans and related servicing rights to permanent investors in the secondary market.  JMC has written commitments from several permanent investors (large financial institutions) and only closes loans that meet the lending requirements of the permanent investors.  Loans are made in connection with the purchase or refinancing of existing and new one-to-four family residences primarily in southeastern and northern Virginia.  Loans are initially funded primarily by JMC’s lines of credit.  With the concurrent sale and delivery of mortgage loans to the permanent investors, JMC records receivables for mortgage loans sold and recognizes the related gains and losses on such sales.  The receivables for mortgage loans sold are usually satisfied within 30 days of sale, whereupon the related borrowings on the lines of credit are repaid.  Because of the short holding period, these loans are carried at the lower of cost or market and no market adjustments were deemed necessary in the first three quarters of 2020 or during 2019.  JMC’s agreements with its permanent investors include provisions that could require JMC to repurchase loans under certain circumstances, and also provide for the assessment of fees if loans go into default or are refinanced within specified periods of time.  JMC has never been required to repurchase a loan and no allowance has been made as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019 for possible repurchases.  Management does not believe that a provision for early default or refinancing costs is necessary at September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

JMC enters into commitments with its customers to originate loans where the interest rate on the loans is determined (locked) prior to funding.  While this subjects JMC to the risk that interest rates may change from the commitment date to the funding date, JMC simultaneously enters into financial agreements (best efforts forward sales commitments) with its permanent investors giving JMC the right to deliver (put) loans to the investors at specified yields, thus enabling JMC to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates such that JMC is not subject to fluctuations in fair values of these agreements due to changes in interest rates.  However, a default by a permanent investor required to purchase loans under such an agreement would expose JMC to potential fluctuation in selling prices of loans due to changes in interest rate.  The fair value of rate lock commitments and forward sales commitments was considered immaterial at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and an adjustment was not recorded.  Gains and losses on the sale of mortgages as well as origination fees, brokerage fees, interest rate lock-in fees and other fees paid by mortgagors are included in Mortgage banking income on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO):

OREO comprises properties acquired in partial or total satisfaction of problem loans. The properties are recorded at fair value at the date acquired. Losses arising at the time of acquisition of such properties are charged against the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent write‑downs that may be required and expenses of operation are included in other expenses. Gains and losses realized from the sale of OREO are included in other expenses. At September 30, 2020 there were five properties with a combined estimated value of $2.8 million included in OREO and at December 31, 2019, there were four properties with a combined estimated value of $2.4 million included in OREO.

Intangible Assets and Amortization:

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company acquired Partners and during the first quarter of 2018, the Company acquired Liberty.   ASC 350, Intangibles‑Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), prescribes accounting for intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. Acquired intangible assets (such as core deposit intangibles) are separately recognized if the benefit of the assets can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, and amortized over their useful lives. Intangible assets related to the acquisitions are amortized (See Note 12 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further information).

Goodwill

The Company’s goodwill was recognized in connection with the acquisitions of Partners and Liberty. The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill at least annually or more frequently if certain impairment indicators exist. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Companymay first consider qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, we conclude that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then no further testing is required and the goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment or if we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount to determine whether an impairment exists.

Accounting for Stock Based Compensation:

The Company follows ASC 718‑10, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) for accounting and reporting for stock‑based compensation plans. ASC 718‑10 defines a fair value at grant date to be used for measuring compensation expense for stock‑based compensation plans to be recognized in the statement of income.

Earnings Per Share:

Basic earnings per common share are determined by dividing net income and accretion of warrants by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each period, giving retroactive effect to stock splits and dividends. Weighted average common shares outstanding were17,810,090 and 17,808,212 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and 9,985,321 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Calculations of diluted earnings per common share include the average dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, unless they are anti‑dilutive. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options calculated using the treasury stock method and restricted stock awards (See Note 8 – Earnings Per Share for further information).

For individual securities classified as either available for sale or held to maturity, the Company must determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other than temporary. In estimating OTTI losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near‑term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. If the decline in fair value is considered to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the individual security shall be written down to the fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write‑down shall be included in earnings (that is, accounted for as a realized loss).

At September 30, 2020 there were four mortgage‑backed securities (MBS) and one agency investment that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. At September 30, 2020 there were no securities that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than twelve months.  Management found no evidence of OTTI on any of these securities and believes that unrealized losses are due to fluctuations in fair values resulting from changes in market interest rates and are considered temporary.  As of September 30, 2020, management also believes it has the ability and intent to hold the securities for a period of time sufficient for a recovery of cost.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company sold ten securities, resulting in a gain of  $401 thousand.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not sell any securities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,  fourteen securities were either matured or called, resulting in a net gain of  $167 thousand.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,  five and eleven securities were either matured or called, respectively, resulting in a gain of $97 thousand for both periods.

The Company has pledged certain securities as collateral for qualified customers’ deposit accounts at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  The amortized cost and fair value of these pledged securities was $10.0 million and $10.4 million, respectively, at September 30, 2020.  The amortized cost and fair value of these pledged securities was $9.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2019.

Contractual maturities of investment securities at September 30, 2020 are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because debtors may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mortgage‑backed securities have no stated maturity and primarily reflect investments in various Pass‑through and Participation Certificates issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Government National Mortgage Association. Repayment of mortgage‑backed securities is affected by the contractual repayment terms of the underlying mortgages collateralizing these obligations and the current level of interest rates.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For purposes of determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company has segmented the loan portfolio into the following classifications:

· Real Estate Mortgage (which includes Construction and Land Development, Residential Real Estate, Nonresidential Real Estate and Home Equity Loans)

· Commercial

· Consumer and other loans

Each of these segments are reviewed and analyzed quarterly using historical charge‑off experience for their respective segments as well as the following qualitative factors:

· Changes in the levels and trends in delinquencies, non‑accruals, classified assets and TDRs

· Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio

· Effects of any changes in lending policies, procedures, including underwriting standards and collections, charge off and recovery practices

· Changes in the experience, depth and ability of management

· Changes in the national and local economic conditions and developments, including the condition of various market segments

· Changes in the concentration of credits within each pool

· Changes in the quality of the Company’s loan review system and the degree of oversight by the Company’s Board of Directors

· Changes in external factors such as competition and the legal environment.

The above factors result in a FASB ASC 450‑10‑ 20 calculated reserve for environmental factors.

All credit exposures graded at a rating of “non-pass” with outstanding balances less than or equal to $250 thousand and credit exposures graded at a rating of “pass” are reviewed and analyzed quarterly using historical charge-off experience for their respective segments as well as the qualitative factors discussed above. The historical charge-off experience is further adjusted based on delinquency risk trend assessments and concentration risk assessments.

All credit exposures graded at a rating of “non-pass” with outstanding balances greater than $250 thousand are to be reviewed no less than quarterly for the purpose of determining if a specific allocation is needed for that credit. The determination for a specific reserve is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except when the sole (remaining) source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In these cases management uses the current fair value of the collateral, less selling cost when foreclosure is probable, instead of discounted cash flows. If management determines that the value of the loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge‑offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance for credit losses estimate or a charge‑off to the allowance for credit losses.

The establishment of a specific reserve does not necessarily mean that the credit with the specific reserve will definitely incur loss at the reserve level. It is only an estimation of the potential loss based upon anticipated events. A specific reserve will not be established unless loss elements can be determined and quantified based on known facts. The total allowance reflects management's estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The Company had an unallocated amount of approximately $593 thousand in the allowance that is reflected in the above table as of September 30, 2020. The Company had an unallocated amount of approximately $459 thousand in the allowance that is reflected in the above table as of September 30, 2019. Management believes this amount is adequate to absorb additional inherent, but as yet unidentified, losses in the loan portfolio.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law, which established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and allocated $349.0 billion of loans to be issued by financial institutions. Under the program, the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) will forgive loans, in whole or in part, made by approved lenders to eligible borrowers for Paycheck and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the program. These loans carry a fixed rate of 1.00% and a term of two years, if not forgiven, in whole or in part. The loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and payments are deferred for the first six months of the loan. The Bank receives a processing fee ranging from 1% to 5% based on the size of the loan from the SBA. The Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (“PPP/ HCEA Act”) was signed into law on April 24, 2020. The PPP/HCEA Act authorized additional funding under the CARES Act of $310.0 billion for PPP loans to be issued by financial institutions through the SBA. The Company has provided $64.2 million in funding to over 600 customers through the PPP as of September 30, 2020. Because these loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and did not undergo the Bank’s typical underwriting process, they are not graded and do not have an associated reserve at this time.

Credit Quality Information

The following tables represent credit exposures by creditworthiness category at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The use of creditworthiness categories to grade loans permits management to estimate a portion of credit risk. The Company’s internal creditworthiness is based on experience with similarly graded credits. The Company uses the definitions below for categorizing and managing its criticized loans.  Loans catergorized as “Pass” do not meet the criteria set forth below and are not considered criticized.

Marginal — Loans in this category are presently protected from loss, but weaknesses are apparent which, if not corrected, could cause future problems.  Loans in this category may not meet required underwriting criteria and have no mitigating factors.  More than the ordinary amount of attention is warranted for these loans.

Substandard — Loans in this category exhibit well-defined weaknesses that would typically bring normal repayment into jeopardy.  These loans are no longer adequately protected due to well-defined weaknesses that affect the repayment capacity of the borrower.  The possibility of loss is much more evident and above average supervision is required for these loans.

Doubtful — Loans in this category have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan categorized as Substandard, with the characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss — Loans in this category are of little value and are not warranted as a bankable asset.

Non‑accruals

In general, a loan will be placed on non‑accrual status at the end of the reporting month in which the interest or principal is past due more than 90 days. Exceptions to the policy are those loans that are in the process of collection and are well-secured. A well‑secured loan is secured by collateral with sufficient market value to repay principal and all accrued interest.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans are defined as non‑accrual loans, TDRs, purchased credit impaired loans (“PCI”) and loans risk rated substandard or above. When management identifies a loan as impaired, the impairment is measured for potential loss based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except when the sole (remaining) source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In these cases management uses the current fair value of the collateral, less selling cost when foreclosure is probable, instead of discounted cash flows. If management determines that the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge‑offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge‑off to the allowance.

When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is on non‑accrual status, all payments are applied to principal, under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt and the loan is on non‑accrual status, contractual interest is credited to interest income when received, under the cash basis method.

The following tables include the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired financing receivables, excluding purchased credit impaired, with the associated allowance amount, if applicable.  Also presented are the average recorded investments in the impaired loans and the related amount of interest recognized during the time within the period that the impaired loans were impaired.

Average short‑term borrowings under FHLB approximated $42.4 million and $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively. Borrowings with the FHLB are considered short-term if they have an original maturity of less than a year.

The Company has pledged a portion of its residential and commercial mortgage loan portfolio as collateral for these credit facilities. Principal balances outstanding on these pledged loans totaled approximately $215.0 million and $223.5 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

In addition to the FHLB credit facility, in October 2015, the Company entered into a subordinated loan agreement for an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 million, net of issuance costs. Interest‑only payments are due quarterly at 6.71% per annum, and the outstanding principal balance matures in October 2025. In January 2018, the Company entered into a subordinated loan agreement for an aggregate principal amount of $4.5 million to fund the acquisition of Liberty Bell Bank, net of loan costs. Interest‑only payments are due quarterly at 6.875% per annum, and the outstanding principal balance matures in April 2028.  In June 2020, the Company entered into a subordinated loan agreement for an aggregate principal amount of $17.6 million, net of issuance costs, to provide capital to support organic growth or growth through strategic acquisitions and capital expenditures.  The notes will initially bear interest at 6.000% per annum, beginning June 25, 2020 to but excluding July 1, 2025, payable semi-annually in arrears. From and including July 1, 2025 to but excluding July 1, 2030, or up to an early redemption date, the interest rate shall reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum equal to the then current three-month SOFR plus 590 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. Beginning on July 1, 2025 through maturity, the notes may be redeemed, at the Company’s option, on any scheduled interest payment date. The notes will mature on July 1, 2030. The notes are subject to customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company and the purchasers.

Partners owns a one-half undivided interest in 410 William Street, Fredericksburg, Virginia.  Partners purchased a one-half interest in the land for cash, plus additional settlement costs, and assumption of one-half of the remaining deed of trust loan on December 14, 2012.  Partners indemnified the indemnities, who are the personal guarantors of the deed of trust loan in the amount of $886 thousand, which was one-half of the outstanding balance of the loan as of the purchase date.  Partners has a remaining obligation under the note payable of $660 thousand as of September 30, 2020.  The loan was refinanced on April 30, 2015 with a twenty-five year amortization.  The interest rate is fixed at 3.60% for the first 10 years, and then becomes a variable rate of 3.0% plus the 10 year Treasury rate until maturity.

The Company provides JMC a warehouse line of credit, which is eliminated in consolidation.  In addition, JMC has a warehouse line of credit with another financial institution in the amount of $3.0 million.  The interest rate is the weekly average of the one month LIBOR plus 2.250%, rounded to the nearest 0.125%  (2.750% at September 30, 2020 and 4.0% at December 31, 2019). The rate is subject to change the first of every month.  Amounts borrowed are collateralized by a security interest in the mortgage loans financed under the line and are payable upon demand.  The warehouse line of credit is set to renew or mature on August 31, 2021.  The balance outstanding at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $615 thousand and $576 thousand, respectively.  Interest expense on the warehouse lines of credit was $32 thousand and $83 thousand during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2020, in connection with the loans originated as part of the PPP, the Company borrowed under the Federal Reserve’s Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”).  Under the terms of the PPPLF, the Company can borrow funds which are secured by the Company’s PPP loans.  As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s outstanding advances under the PPPLF were $64.2 million.  The interest rate on the advances is fixed at a rate of 0.35% through the advance maturities ranging from April 2022 to June 2025.  The Company’s available borrowing capacity under the PPPLF as of September 30, 2020 was $64.2 million, all of which was currently outstanding.

The proceeds of these long‑term borrowings were generally used to purchase higher yielding investment securities, fund additional loans, redeem preferred stock, or fund acquisitions. Additionally, the Company has secured credit availability of $5.0 million with a correspondent bank and unsecured credit availability of $59.0 million with several other correspondent banks for short‑term liquidity needs, if necessary. The secured facility must be collateralized by specific securities at the time of any usage. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under these credit agreements.

The Company has pledged investment securities available for sale with an amortized cost and fair value of $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, with the FRB to secure Discount Window borrowings at September 30, 2020.  The combined amortized cost and fair value of these pledged investment securities were $2.3 million at December 31, 2019.  At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 there were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities.

Lease Commitments

Note 5.  Lease Commitments

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), on January 1, 2019, using a modified-retrospective approach, whereby comparative periods were not restated. No cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was required. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classifications. Additionally, the Company elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases.

The Company leases eighteen locations for administrative offices and branch locations. Sixteen leases were classified as operating leases and two as finance leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less as well as leases with a discounted present value of future cash flows below $25 thousand are not recorded on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized over the lease term. The Company elected to use the practical expedient to not recognize short-term leases on the consolidated balance sheet and instead account for them as executory contracts.

Certain leases include options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term, typically for five years. Lease assets and liabilities include related options that are reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company has determined that it will place a limit on exercises of available lease renewal options that would extend the lease term up to a maximum of fifteen years, including the initial term. The depreciable life of leased assets are limited by the expected lease term.

Adoption of this standard resulted in the Company recognizing a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability of $3.6 million on January 1, 2019.

Note 6. Stock Option Plans

Partners Bancorp Stock Option Plan

The Company had employee and director stock option plans and had reserved shares of stock for issuance thereunder. Options granted under these plans had a ten‑year life with a four‑year vesting period that began one year after date of grant, and were exercisable at a price equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. Each award from all plans was evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the option price, the duration of the option, the number of shares to which the option pertains, and such other provisions as the grantor determines. The plan term ended in 2014, therefore no new options can be granted.

All remaining stock options expired during the second quarter of 2019.

Liberty Bell Bank Stock Option Plans

In 2004, Liberty Bell Bank (“Liberty”) adopted the 2004 Incentive Stock Option Plan and the 2004 Non‑Qualified Stock Option Plan, which were stock‑based incentive compensation plans (the “Liberty Plans”). In February 2014, the Liberty Plans expired pursuant to their terms. Options under these plans had a 10 year life and vested over 5 years. Remaining options under the Liberty Plans became fully vested with the approval by the board of directors of Liberty signing the Agreement of Merger with the Company in July 2017 (the “Liberty Merger”). In accordance with the terms of the Agreement of Merger between the Company and Liberty, the Liberty Plans were assumed by the Company, and the options were converted into and became an option to purchase an adjusted number of shares of the common stock of the Company at an adjusted exercise price per share. The number of shares was determined by multiplying the number of shares of Liberty common stock for which the option was exercisable by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which shares of Liberty common stock were convertible in the Liberty Merger, which was 0.2857 (the “Liberty Conversion Ratio”), rounded to the next lower whole share. The exercise price was determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Liberty common stock by the Liberty Conversion Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent. At the effective time of the Liberty Merger there were 48,225 options outstanding at an exercise price of $1.18. These shares were converted to 13,771 options outstanding at an exercise price of $4.14.

Virginia Partners Bank Stock Option Plan

In 2015, Partners adopted the 2015 Stock Option Plan (the “2015 Partners Plan”), which allowed both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to be granted.  The exercise price of each stock option equaled the market price of Partners' common stock on the date of grant and a stock option’s maximum term was 10 years.  Stock options granted in the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 vested over 3 years.  Partners previous stock compensation plan (the “2008 Partners Plan”) provided for the grant of share based awards in the form of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to Partners’ directors, officers and employees.  In April 2015 the 2008 Partners Plan was terminated and replaced with the 2015 Partners Plan.  Stock options outstanding prior to April 2015 were granted under the 2008 Partners Plan and became subject to the provisions of the 2015 Partners Plan.  The 2008 Partners Plan also provided for stock options to be granted to seed investors as a reward for the contribution to organizational funds which were at risk if Partners’ organization had not been successful.  Under the 2008 Partners Plan, Partners granted stock options to seed investors in 2008, which were fully vested upon the date of the grant.

As a result of the Company’s acquisition of Partners in November 2019 through an exchange of shares in an all-stock transaction, (the “Partners Share Exchange”), each stock option (the "Partners Options"), whether vested or unvested, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time under the 2008 Partners Plan or the 2015 Partners Plan and together with the 2008 Partners Plan, (the "Partners Stock Plans"), immediately 100% vested, to the extent not already vested, and converted into and became stock options to purchase the Company’s common stock.  In addition, the Company assumed each of the Partners Stock Plans, and assumed each Partners Option in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Partners Stock Plan pursuant to which it was issued.  As such, Partners Options to acquire 149,200 shares of Partner’s common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $10.52 per share were converted into stock options to acquire 256,294 shares of the Company’s common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $6.13 per share.  The number of shares was determined by multiplying the number of shares of Partners common stock for which the option was exercisable by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which shares of Partners common stock were convertible in the Partners Share Exchange, which was 1.7179 (the “Partners Conversion Ratio”), rounded to the next lower whole share. The exercise price was determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Partners common stock by the Partners Conversion Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent.

The Company had an employee and director restricted stock plan (the “Company Plan”) and reserved 405,805 shares of stock for issuance thereunder. The Company adopted the Company Plan, pursuant to which employee and directors of the Company could acquire shares of common stock. The Company Plan was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors in April 2014, and was subject to the right of the Board of Directors to terminate the Company Plan at any time.  The Company Plan terminated at its scheduled date on June 30, 2018. The termination of the Company Plan, either at the scheduled termination date or before such date, did not affect any award issued prior to termination.

Earnings Per Share

Note 8. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of all potentially dilutive shares outstanding attributable to stock instruments.  

Applicable guidance requires that outstanding, unvested share-based payment awards that contain voting rights and rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Accordingly, the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per common share includes unvested shares of the Company’s outstanding restricted common stock.

The following table presents basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory — and possibly additional discretionary — actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company’s subsidiaries must meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s subsidiaries assets, liabilities, and certain off‑balance‑sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s subsidiaries’ capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting, and other factors.  Federal banking regulations also impose regulatory capital requirements on bank holding companies. Under the small bank holding company policy statement of the Federal Reserve Board, which applies to certain bank holding companies with consolidated total assets of less than $3 billion, the Company is not subject to regulatory capital requirements.

On September 17, 2019 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation finalized a rule that introduces an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations (i.e., the community bank leverage ratio (CBLR) framework), as required by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act. The CBLR framework is designed to reduce burden by removing the requirements for calculating and reporting risk-based capital ratios for qualifying community banking organizations that opt into the framework.

In order to qualify for the CBLR framework, a community banking organization must have a tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 9 percent, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities. A qualifying community banking organization that opts into the CBLR framework and meets all requirements under the framework will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital.

The Company has elected not to opt into the CBLR framework at this time.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company’s subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (as defined in the regulations) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk‑weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to average assets, and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk‑weighted assets. Management believes as of September 30, 2020 that the Company’s subsidiaries met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of September 30, 2020, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) categorized the Company’s subsidiaries as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Company’s subsidiaries must maintain minimum total risk‑based, Tier 1 risk‑based, Tier 1 leverage and common equity Tier 1 risk‑based ratios. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company’s subsidiaries category.

The Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total capital ratios are calculated by dividing the respective capital amounts by risk‑weighted assets. Risk‑weighted assets are calculated based on regulatory requirements and include total assets, with certain exclusions, allocated by risk weight category, and certain off‑balance‑sheet items, among other things. The Tier 1 leverage ratio is calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital by adjusted quarterly average total assets, which exclude goodwill and other intangible assets, among other things.

The Basel III Capital Rules require the Company’s subsidiaries to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk‑weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (which is added to the 4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk‑weighted assets of at least 7.0%), (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk‑weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%), (iii) a minimum ratio of Total capital (that is, Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk‑weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 8.0% Total capital ratio, effectively resulting in a minimum Total capital ratio of 10.5%) and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average quarterly assets.

The implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and was phased in over a four-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reached 2.5% on January 1, 2019). The Basel III Capital Rules also provide for a “countercyclical capital buffer” that is applicable to only certain covered institutions and does not have any current applicability to the Subsidiaries or the Company. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and, as detailed above, effectively increases the minimum required risk‑weighted capital ratios. Banking institutions with a ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk‑weighted assets below the effective minimum (4.5% plus the capital conservation buffer and, if applicable, the countercyclical capital buffer) will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

The following table presents actual and required capital ratios as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 for the Company’s subsidiaries under the Basel III Capital Rules. The minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 based on the fully phased‑in provisions of the Basel III Capital Rules. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based on prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules. A comparison of the Company’s subsidiaries’ capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 with the minimum requirements are presented below.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Note 10. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.  Additionally, in accordance with ASU 2016-01, the Company uses the exit price notion, rather than the entry price notion, in calculating the fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The estimated fair values, and related carrying amounts, of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations.  As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company.  Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk.  However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to repay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment.  Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment.  Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Bank's overall interest rate risk.

Fair Value Measurements

Note 11. Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC 820‑10 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) which provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available for sale investments securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans).

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally 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.

Level 1  - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.

Level 3 - Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:

Investment Securities Available for Sale:

Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1).  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data.  Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2).  In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.  Currently, all of the Company’s investment securities available for sale are considered to be Level 2 securities.

The following tables present the balances of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these financial assets usually result from the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:

Loans Held for Sale:

Loans held for sale are loans originated by JMC for sale in the secondary market.  Loans originated for sale by JMC are recorded at lower of cost or market.  No market adjustments were required at September 30, 2020; therefore, loans held for sale were carried at cost.  Because of the short-term nature, the book value of these loans approximates fair value at September 30, 2020. 

Impaired Loans:

Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected when due. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2).  However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the allowance for loan losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as a provision for loan losses on the consolidated statement of income. 

             Other Real Estate Owned:

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is measured at fair value less cost to sell, based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company.  If the collateral value is significantly adjusted due to differences in the comparable properties, or is discounted by the Company because of marketability, then the fair value is considered Level 3.  OREO is measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  Any initial fair value adjustment is charged against the allowance for loan losses.  Subsequent fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and included in other noninterest expense on the consolidated statement of income. 

The following table presents the balances of financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Note 12. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC 805. The Company records the excess of cost acquired entities over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, as goodwill. The Company amortizes acquired intangible assets with definite useful economic lives over their useful economic lives. On a periodic basis, management assesses whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible assets may be impaired. The Company does not amortize goodwill or any acquired intangible assets with an indefinite useful economic life, but reviews them for impairment on an annual basis, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may be impaired. The Company has performed the required goodwill impairment test and has determined that goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2019.  The Company is currently in the process of evaluating goodwill impairment for the current year ended December 31, 2020.

Goodwill:  The Company acquired goodwill in the purchase of Partners (see Note 13 – Virginia Partners Bank Transaction for further information). The following table provides changes in goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019:

	September 30,		December 31,

Partners acquisition		—		4,154
Impairment		—		—
Balance at the end of the period	$	9,391	$	9,391

Core Deposit Intangible:  The Company acquired core deposit intangibles in the Liberty merger and the Partners Share Exchange. For the core deposit intangible related to Liberty, the Company utilizes the double declining balance method of amortization, in which the straight line amortization rate is doubled and applied to the remaining unamortized portion of the intangible asset. The amortization method changes to the straight line method of amortization when the straight line amortization amount exceeds the amount that would be calculated under the double declining balance method.  This core deposit intangible is being amortized over seven years. For the core deposit intangible related to Partners, the Company utilizes the sum of months method and an estimated average life of 120 months.  The following table provides changes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and the year ended December 31, 2019:

	September 30,		December 31,

Net Deposits Purchased Premium and Discount:  The Company paid a deposit premium in the Liberty Merger and received a deposit discount in the Partners Share Exchange, which are included in the balances of time deposits on the balance sheets. The premium amount is amortized as a reduction in interest expense over the life of the acquired time deposits and the discount is accreted as an increase in interest expense over the life of the acquired time deposits. The premium and discount on deposits will both be amortized and accreted over approximately five years.

The following table provides changes in the net deposit discount for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019:

Note 13. Virginia Partners Bank Transaction

On November 15, 2019, the Company completed its share exchange with Partners, a Virginia chartered commercial bank. Partners stockholders received 1.7179 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Partners common stock they owned as of the effective date of the share exchange. The aggregate consideration paid to Partners stockholders was $52.3 million. Additionally, $350 thousand was included as consideration for replacement stock option awards per the share exchange agreement and $2 thousand in cash in lieu of fractional shares.  The results of Partners' operations are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for  the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and for the period beginning after November 15, 2019, the date of the effectiveness of the share exchange.

The acquisition resulted in three new branches, an operations center and administrative headquarters in Fredericksburg, Virginia, along with an additional branch office in La Plata, Maryland and a loan production office in Annapolis, Maryland.

The acquisition of Partners was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration paid were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess consideration paid over the fair value of net assets acquired has been reported as goodwill in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Partners were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management's best estimates using information available at the date of the acquisition and are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition. The items most susceptible to adjustment are the credit fair value adjustments on loans, core deposit intangible and the deferred income tax assets resulting from the acquisition.

In connection with the acquisition, the consideration paid and the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition are summarized in the following table:

	Estimated Fair
	Value as of
Dollars in Thousands	November 15, 2019
Consideration paid:
Cash	$	2
Common stock issued in acquisition		52,282
Stock options issued in acquisition (replacement awards)		350
Total consideration paid	$	52,634
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents		6,743
Investment securities		65,373
Investments in correspondent bank stock		3,670
Loans		357,127
Premises and equipment		3,627
Accrued interest receivable		1,155
Core deposit intangible		2,650
Deferred tax asset		1,239
Other assets		12,584
Total assets acquired	$	454,168
Liabilities assumed:
Deposits	$	348,552
Other liabilities		56,408
Total liabilities assumed	$	404,960
Net assets acquired	$	49,208
Noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiaries	$	728
Goodwill recorded in acquisition	$	4,154

Acquired loans (impaired and nonimpaired) are initially recorded at their acquisition date fair values using Level 3 inputs. Fair values are based on a discounted cash flow methodology that involves assumptions and judgments as to credit risk, expected life time losses, environmental factors, collateral values, discount rates, expected payments and expected prepayments. Specifically, the Company has prepared three separate loan fair value adjustments that it believes a market participant might employ in estimating the entire fair value adjustment necessary under ASC 820-10 for the acquired loan portfolio. The three separate fair valuation methodologies employed are: (i) an interest rate loan fair value adjustment, (ii) a general credit fair value adjustment, and (iii) a specific credit fair value adjustment for PCI loans subject to ASC 310-30 provisions. The acquired loans were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date without carryover of Partners’ previously established allowance for loan losses. The fair value of the financial assets acquired included loans receivable with a principal balance, prior to fair value adjustments, of $362.9 million.

The table below illustrates the fair value adjustments made to the amortized cost basis to present a fair value of the loans acquired:

Dollars in Thousands	At November 15, 2019
Gross principal balance	$	362,916
Fair value adjustment on pools of non-credit impaired loans		(4,990)
Fair value adjustment on PCI loans		(799)
Fair value of acquired loans	$	357,127

The credit adjustment on acquired impaired loans is derived in accordance with ASC 310-30 and represents the portion of the loan balances that have been deemed uncollectible based on the Company’s expectations of future cash flows for each respective loan:

Dollars in Thousands	At November 15, 2019
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition	$	6,713
Contractual cashflows not expected to be collected (non-accretable discount)		(1,371)
Expected cash flows at acquisition		5,342
Interest component of expected cash flows		(673)
Fair value for loans acquired under ASC 310-30	$	4,669

The fair value of savings and transaction deposit accounts acquired from Partners provide value to the Company as a source of below market rate funds. The fair value of the core deposit intangible was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate based on the estimated cost of capital for a market participant. To calculate cash flows, the sum of deposit account servicing costs (net of deposit fee income) and interest expense on deposits were compared to the cost of alternative funding sources available to the Company. The expected cash flows of the deposit base included estimated attrition rates. The core deposit intangible was valued at $2.7 million or 1.01% of total deposits. The core deposit intangible asset is being amortized on the sum of months method over 10 years.

Direct costs related to the merger were accrued and expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020he Company incurred $8 thousand in Partners merger-related expenses.  During the three months ended September 30, 2020he Company incurred no Partners merger-related expenses.

Revenue Recognition

Note 14. Revenue Recognition

The Company follows ASU No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606.  Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as deposit related fees, interchange fees and merchant income. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided.

Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or at the end of the month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

Mortgage Banking Income

Mortgage banking income, which is included is noninterest income, consists of fees for loans originated by the Company through an application process that are sent to a mortgage broker. The loan application and underwriting processes are completed by other various financial institutions.  The Company receives a pre-negotiated fee at settlement for initiating the loan origination.  The Company receives the fee and recognizes the income when the loan goes to settlement.

Other Noninterest Income

Other noninterest income consists of: fees, exchange, other service charges, safety deposit box rental fees, and other miscellaneous revenue streams.  Fees and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Note 15. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Information about certain recently issued accounting standards updates is presented below. 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”).”  The amendments in ASU 2016-13, among other things, require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The FASB has issued multiple updates to ASU 2016-13 as codified in Topic 326, including ASU’s 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-10, 2019-11, 2020-02, and 2020-03.  These ASU’s have provided for various minor technical corrections and improvements to the codification as well as other transition matters.  Smaller reporting companies who file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and all other entities who do not file with the SEC are required to apply the guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016‑13 on our consolidated financial statements. We are currently working through our implementation plan which includes assessment and documentation of processes, internal controls and data sources; model development and documentation; and systems configuration, among other things. We are also in the process of implementing a third‑party vendor solution to assist us in the application of ASU 2016‑13.

The adoption of ASU 2016‑13 could result in an increase in the allowance for credit losses as a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model, which encompasses allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, to an “expected loss” model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. Furthermore, ASU 2016‑13 will necessitate that we establish an allowance for expected credit losses for certain debt securities and other financial assets. While we are currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting ASU 2016‑13, we expect that the impact of adoption will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date.

Effective November 25, 2019, the SEC adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 119 (“SAB 119”).  SAB 119 updated portions of SEC interpretative guidance to align with ASC 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.”  It covers topics including (1) measuring current expected credit losses; (2) development, governance, and documentation of a systematic methodology; (3) documenting the results of a systematic methodology; and (4) validating a systematic methodology.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”).”  ASU 2019-12 is expected to reduce cost and complexity related to the accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions to general principles in Topic 740 (eliminating the need for an organization to analyze whether certain exceptions apply in a given period) and improving financial statement preparers’ application of certain income tax-related guidance. ASU 2019-12 is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to make narrow-scope simplifications and improvements to accounting standards through a series of short-term projects.  For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 2020-01”).”  ASU 2020-01 is based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and is expected to increase comparability in accounting for these transactions.  ASU 2020-01 made targeted improvements to accounting for financial instruments, including providing an entity the ability to measure certain equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.  Among other topics, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting.  For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2020-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”).” ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.The Company is assessing ASU 2020-04 and its impact on the Company’s transition away from LIBOR for its loan and other financial instruments, and is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2020-04 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On March 12, 2020, the SEC finalized amendments to the definitions of its “accelerated filer” and “large accelerated filer” definitions. The amendments increase the threshold criteria for meeting these filer classifications and are effective on April 27, 2020. Any changes in filer status are to be applied beginning with the filer’s first annual report filed with the SEC subsequent to the effective date.Prior to these changes, the Company had not  been required to comply with section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 concerning auditor attestation over internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) as an “accelerated filer” as it had less than $75 million in public float.  The rule change expands the definition of “smaller reporting companies” to include entities with public float of less than $700 million and less than $100 million in annual revenues.  The Company will continue to be a smaller reporting company under the expanded definition.  The classifications of “accelerated filer” and “large accelerated filer” require a public company to obtain an auditor attestation concerning the effectiveness of ICFR and include the opinion on ICFR in its annual report on Form 10-K.  Smaller reporting companies also have additional time to file quarterly and annual financial statements.  All public companies are required to obtain and file annual financial statement audits, as well as provide management’s assertion on effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, but the external auditor attestation of internal control over financial reporting is not required for smaller reporting companies.  This change does not affect the Company’s annual reporting and audit requirements.  

In August 2020,the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.(ASU 2020-06)” The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculation in certain areas. In addition, the amendment updates the disclosure requirements for convertible instruments to increase the information transparency. For public business entities, excluding smaller reporting companies, the amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  For all other entities, the standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable fees and Other Costs (ASU 2020-08).” This ASU clarifies that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of ASC paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is not permitted. All entities should apply ASU No. 2020-08 on a prospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption for existing or newly purchased callable debt securities. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-08 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment for all entities by requiring impairment charges to be based on the first step in the previous two-step impairment test. Under the new guidance, if a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an entity will record an impairment charge based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 eliminates the prior requirement to calculate a goodwill impairment charge using Step 2, which requires an entity to calculate any impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount. ASU 2017-04 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2020.   The guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by requiring that Level 3 fair value disclosures include the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop those fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. Certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 were also removed or modified. ASU 2018-13 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2020.  The adoption of ASU 2018‑13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, (revised in April 2020) various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC, (“the Agencies”) issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by a novel strain of coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”). The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications. Under ASC 310-40, “Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” (“ASC 310-40”), a restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The Agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented.    The Company has granted loan payment deferrals to certain borrowers, who were current on their payments prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, on a short-term basis of three to six months.  As of September 30, 2020, on a consolidated basis, the Company had approved loan payment deferrals or payments of interest only for 116 loans totaling $93.8 million. Management expects this interagency guidance to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements; however, the full impact cannot be quantified at this time.

Nature of Business and Its Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company; the Subsidiaries, along with their consolidated subsidiaries: Delmarva Real Estate Holdings, LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of Delmarva, which is a real estate holding company; Davie Circle, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Delmarva, which is a real estate holding company; Delmarva BK Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Delmarva, which is a real estate holding company; DHB Development, LLC, of which Delmarva holds a 40.55% interest, and is a real estate holding company; West Nithsdale Enterprises, LLC, of which Delmarva holds a 10% interest, and is a real estate holding company; and FBW, LLC, of which Delmarva holds 50% interest, and is a real estate holding company; Bear Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Partners, and is a real estate holding company; Johnson Mortgage Company, LLC, of which Partners owns 51% interest, and is a residential mortgage company; and 410 William Street, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Partners, and which holds investment property. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Financial Statement Presentation

Financial Statement Presentation:

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

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

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities Available for Sale

Securities Available for Sale:

Marketable debt securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are acquired as part of the Subsidiaries' asset/liability management strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, loan demand, changes in prepayment risk, and other factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value as determined by quoted market prices. Unrealized gains or losses based on the difference between amortized cost and fair value are reported in other comprehensive income, net of deferred tax. Realized gains and losses, using the specific identification method, are included as a separate component of other income (expense) and, when applicable, are reported as a reclassification adjustment, net of tax, in other comprehensive income. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Additionally, declines in the fair value of individual investment securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses in the consolidated statements of income.

Impairment may result from credit deterioration of the issuer or collateral underlying the security.  In performing an assessment of recoverability, all relevant information is considered, including the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, the cause of the price decline, credit performance of the issuer and underlying collateral, and recoveries or further declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.

For debt securities, the Company measures and recognizes other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses through earnings if (1) the Company has the intent to sell the security or (2) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. In these circumstances, the impairment loss is equal to the full difference between the amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security.  For securities that are considered OTTI that the Company has the intent and ability to hold in an unrealized loss position, the OTTI write-down is separated into an amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and the amount related to other factors, which is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”).

Restricted Stock, Equity Securities and Other Investment

Restricted Stock, Equity Securities and Other Investments:

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock, at cost, and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank (“ACBB”), at cost, Community Bankers Bank (“CBB”) and Maryland Financial Bank (“MFB”) are equity interests in the FHLB, ACBB, CBB and MFB, respectively. These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value for purposes of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320‑10 Investments‑Debts and Equity Securities because their ownership is restricted and they lack an active market. As there is no readily determinable fair value for these securities, they are carried at cost less any OTTI.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in net income. Any equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments. The entirety of any impairment on equity securities is recognized in earnings.

Other investments includes an equity ownership of Solomon Hess SBA Loan Fund LLC which the value is adjusted for its prorata share of assets in the fund and investment in the stock of the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”).  Other investments also includes equity securities the Company holds with Community Capital Management in their Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) Qualified Investment Fund.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives.  Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other changes or amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses

Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses:

Loans are generally carried at the amount of unpaid principal, adjusted for unearned loan fees, which are amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest rate method. Interest on loans is accrued based on the principal amounts outstanding. It is the Subsidiaries' policy to discontinue the accrual of interest when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for ninety days or more. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Cash collections on such loans are applied as reductions of the loan principal balance and no interest income is recognized on those loans until the principal balance has been collected. Interest income on other nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received. The carrying value of impaired loans is based on the present value of the loan's expected future cash flows or, alternatively, the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and is based on the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, an assessment of individual problem loans and actual loss experience, the value of the underlying collateral, and current economic events in specific industries and geographical areas, including unemployment levels, and other pertinent factors, including regulatory guidance and general economic conditions. Determination of the allowance for credit losses is inherently subjective, as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance for credit losses, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance for credit losses. A provision for credit losses is charged to operations based on management's periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors. Evaluations are conducted at least monthly and more often if deemed necessary.

The allowance for credit losses typically consists of an allocated component and an unallocated component. The allocated component of the allowance for credit losses reflects expected losses resulting from analyses developed through specific credit allocations for individual loans and historical loss experience for each loan category.

The specific credit allocations are based on regular analyses of all loans that are considered impaired.  Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.The historical loan loss element is determined statistically using an informal loss migration analysis that examines loss experience and the related internal gradings of loans charged off.  The loss migration analysis is performed quarterly and loss factors are updated regularly based on actual experience. The allocated component of the allowance for credit losses also includes consideration of concentrations and changes in portfolio mix and volume.

Any unallocated portion of the allowance for credit losses reflects management's estimate of probable inherent but undetected losses within the loan portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable information about a borrower's financial condition, the difficulty in identifying triggering events that correlate perfectly to subsequent loss rates, and risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation factors. In addition, the unallocated portion of the allowance for credit losses includes a component that explicitly accounts for the inherent imprecision in loan loss migration models. The historical losses used in the migration analysis may not be representative of actual unrealized losses inherent in the loan portfolio. It is management's intent to continually refine the methodology for the allowance for credit losses in an attempt to directly allocate potential losses in the loan portfolio under ASC Topic 310 and minimize the unallocated portion of the allowance for credit losses.

Loan Charge‑off Policies

Loans are generally fully or partially charged down to the fair value of securing collateral when:

· management deems the asset to be uncollectible;

· repayment is deemed to be made beyond the reasonable time frames;

· the asset has been classified as a loss by internal or external review; and

· the borrower has filed bankruptcy and the loss becomes evident owing to a lack of assets.

Acquired Loans

Loans acquired in connection with business combinations are recorded at their acquisition‑date fair value with no carry over of related allowance for credit losses. Any allowance for credit loss on these pools reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition (meaning the present value of all cash flows expected at acquisition that ultimately are not expected to be received). Determining the fair value of the acquired loans involves estimating the principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at a market rate of interest. Management considers a number of factors in evaluating the acquisition‑date fair value including the remaining life of the acquired loans, delinquency status, estimated prepayments, payment options and other loan features, internal risk grade, estimated value of the underlying collateral and interest rate environment.

Acquired loans that meet the criteria for nonaccrual of interest prior to the acquisition may be considered performing upon acquisition, regardless of whether the customer is contractually delinquent, if we can reasonably estimate the timing and amount of the expected cash flows on such loans and if we expect to fully collect the new carrying value of the loans, including the impact of any accretable yield.

Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310‑30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (ASC 310‑30) if, at acquisition, the loans have evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination and it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected. At acquisition, the Company considers several factors as an indicator that an acquired loan has evidence of deterioration in credit quality. These factors include; loans 90 days or more past due, loans with an internal risk grade of substandard or below, loans classified as non‑accrual by the acquired institution, and loans that have been previously modified in a troubled debt restructuring.

Under the ASC 310‑30 model, the excess of cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition over recorded fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is the interest component of expected cash flow. The accretable yield is recognized into income over the remaining life of the loan if the timing and/or amount of cash flows expected to be collected can be reasonably estimated (the accretion method). If the timing or amount of cash flows expected to be collected cannot be reasonably estimated, the cost recovery method of income recognition is used. The difference between the loan's total scheduled principal and interest payment over all cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition, considering the impact of prepayments, is referred to as the non‑accretable difference. The non‑accretable difference represents contractually required principal and interest payments which the Company does not expect to collect.

Over the life of the loan, management continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments through a charge to the provision for credit losses resulting in an increase in the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent improvements in cash flows result in first, reversal of existing valuation allowances recognized subsequent to acquisition, if any, and next, an increase in the amount of accretable yield to be subsequently recognized as interest income on a prospective basis over the loan's remaining life.

Acquired loans that were not individually determined to be purchased with deteriorated credit quality are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310‑20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (ASC 310‑20), whereby the premium or discount derived from the fair market value adjustment, on a loan‑by‑loan or pooled basis, is recognized into interest income on a level yield basis over the remaining expected life of the loan or pool.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A loan is accounted for and reported as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when, for economic or legal reasons, we grant a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty that we would not otherwise consider.  Management strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and works with them to modify to more affordable terms before their loan reaches nonaccrual status.  These modified terms may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral.  A restructuring that results in only an insignificant delay in payment is not considered a concession.  A delay may be considered insignificant if the payments subject to the delay are insignificant relative to the unpaid principal or collateral value and the contractual amount due, or the delay in timing of the restructured payment period is insignificant relative to the frequency of the payments, the debt’s original contractual maturity or original expected duration.

TDRs are designated as impaired loans because interest and principal payments will not be received in accordance with the original contract terms.  TDRs that are performing and on accrual status as of the date of the modification remain on accrual status.  TDRs that are nonperforming as of the date of modification generally remain as nonaccrual until the prospect of future payments in accordance with the modified loan agreement is reasonably assured, generally demonstrated when the borrower maintains compliance with the restructured terms for a predetermined period, normally at least six months.  TDRs with temporary below-market concessions remain designated as a TDR and impaired regardless of the accrual or performance status until the loan is paid off.  However, if the TDR loan has been modified in a subsequent restructure with market terms and the borrower is not currently experiencing financial difficulty, then the loan may be no longer designated as a TDR.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans Held for Sale:

These loans consist of loans made through Partners’ majority owned subsidiary Johnson Mortgage Company, LLC (“JMC”). 

JMC is engaged in the mortgage brokerage business in which JMC originates, closes, and immediately sells mortgage loans and related servicing rights to permanent investors in the secondary market.  JMC has written commitments from several permanent investors (large financial institutions) and only closes loans that meet the lending requirements of the permanent investors.  Loans are made in connection with the purchase or refinancing of existing and new one-to-four family residences primarily in southeastern and northern Virginia.  Loans are initially funded primarily by JMC’s lines of credit.  With the concurrent sale and delivery of mortgage loans to the permanent investors, JMC records receivables for mortgage loans sold and recognizes the related gains and losses on such sales.  The receivables for mortgage loans sold are usually satisfied within 30 days of sale, whereupon the related borrowings on the lines of credit are repaid.  Because of the short holding period, these loans are carried at the lower of cost or market and no market adjustments were deemed necessary in the first three quarters of 2020 or during 2019.  JMC’s agreements with its permanent investors include provisions that could require JMC to repurchase loans under certain circumstances, and also provide for the assessment of fees if loans go into default or are refinanced within specified periods of time.  JMC has never been required to repurchase a loan and no allowance has been made as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019 for possible repurchases.  Management does not believe that a provision for early default or refinancing costs is necessary at September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

JMC enters into commitments with its customers to originate loans where the interest rate on the loans is determined (locked) prior to funding.  While this subjects JMC to the risk that interest rates may change from the commitment date to the funding date, JMC simultaneously enters into financial agreements (best efforts forward sales commitments) with its permanent investors giving JMC the right to deliver (put) loans to the investors at specified yields, thus enabling JMC to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates such that JMC is not subject to fluctuations in fair values of these agreements due to changes in interest rates.  However, a default by a permanent investor required to purchase loans under such an agreement would expose JMC to potential fluctuation in selling prices of loans due to changes in interest rate.  The fair value of rate lock commitments and forward sales commitments was considered immaterial at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and an adjustment was not recorded.  Gains and losses on the sale of mortgages as well as origination fees, brokerage fees, interest rate lock-in fees and other fees paid by mortgagors are included in Mortgage banking income on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO):

OREO comprises properties acquired in partial or total satisfaction of problem loans. The properties are recorded at fair value at the date acquired. Losses arising at the time of acquisition of such properties are charged against the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent write‑downs that may be required and expenses of operation are included in other expenses. Gains and losses realized from the sale of OREO are included in other expenses. At September 30, 2020 there were five properties with a combined estimated value of $2.8 million included in OREO and at December 31, 2019, there were four properties with a combined estimated value of $2.4 million included in OREO.

Intangible Assets and Amortization

Intangible Assets and Amortization:

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company acquired Partners and during the first quarter of 2018, the Company acquired Liberty.   ASC 350, Intangibles‑Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), prescribes accounting for intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. Acquired intangible assets (such as core deposit intangibles) are separately recognized if the benefit of the assets can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, and amortized over their useful lives. Intangible assets related to the acquisitions are amortized (See Note 12 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further information).

Goodwill

Goodwill

The Company’s goodwill was recognized in connection with the acquisitions of Partners and Liberty. The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill at least annually or more frequently if certain impairment indicators exist. In testing goodwill for impairment, the Companymay first consider qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, we conclude that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then no further testing is required and the goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment or if we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount to determine whether an impairment exists.

Accounting for Stock Based Compensation

Accounting for Stock Based Compensation:

The Company follows ASC 718‑10, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) for accounting and reporting for stock‑based compensation plans. ASC 718‑10 defines a fair value at grant date to be used for measuring compensation expense for stock‑based compensation plans to be recognized in the statement of income.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share:

Basic earnings per common share are determined by dividing net income and accretion of warrants by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for each period, giving retroactive effect to stock splits and dividends. Weighted average common shares outstanding were17,810,090 and 17,808,212 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and 9,985,321 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Calculations of diluted earnings per common share include the average dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, unless they are anti‑dilutive. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options calculated using the treasury stock method and restricted stock awards (See Note 8 – Earnings Per Share for further information).
