NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Select Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company whose principal business activity consists of ownership of Select Bank & Trust Company (referred to as the “Bank”). In 2004, the Company formed New Century Statutory Trust I, which issued trust preferred securities to provide additional capital for general corporate purposes, including the current and future expansion of the Company. New Century Statutory Trust I is not a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. On July 25, 2014, the Company changed its name from New Century Bancorp, Inc. to Select Bancorp, Inc. following its acquisition by merger of Select Bancorp, Inc., Greenville, North Carolina (which we refer to herein as “Legacy Select”). The Company is subject to the rules and regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks.

The Bank was originally incorporated as New Century Bank on May 19, 2000 and began banking operations on May 24, 2000. On July 25, 2014, the Company acquired Select Bank & Trust Company, Greenville, North Carolina, and changed the Bank’s legal name to Select Bank & Trust Company. On December 15, 2017, the Company acquired Premara Financial, Inc. (“Premara”) and its subsidiary Carolina Premier Bank (“Carolina Premier”) through the merger of Premara with and into the Company, followed immediately by the merger of Carolina Premier with and into the Bank. The Bank continues as the only banking subsidiary of the Company with its headquarters and operations center located in Dunn, North Carolina. The Bank is engaged in general commercial and retail banking in the State of North Carolina, northwest South Carolina, and the Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC, metropolitan statistical area. The Bank is subject to the supervision and regulation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks.

All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In management’s opinion, the financial information, which is unaudited, reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.

The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other relevant information are contained in the notes to the financial statements filed as part of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 11, 2020. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.

Certain reclassifications of the information in prior periods were made to conform to the June 30, 2020 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on shareholders’ equity or net income as previously reported.

COVID-19. The Company has evaluated for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were issued. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the disease caused by a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States and around the world. The declaration of a global pandemic indicates that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The outbreak of COVID-19 could adversely impact a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. Several programs are available to businesses impacted by COVID-19 such as loans available through the Paycheck Protection Program, deferrals on loan payments on existing loans and a reduced interest rate program available

to financial institutions through the Federal Reserve Bank. On March 3, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee reduced the target federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.00% to 1.25%. This rate was further reduced to a target range of 0% to 0.25% on March 16, 2020. These reductions in interest rates and other effects of the COVID-19 outbreak may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. As a result of the spread of COVID-19, economic uncertainties have arisen which are likely to negatively impact net interest income and noninterest income. Other financial impact could occur though such potential impact is unknown at this time.

NOTE B - PER SHARE RESULTS

Basic net income per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding during the period. At June 30, 2020 and 2019 there were 219,120 and 172,120 anti-dilutive stock options outstanding, respectively.


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,
	2020	2019	2020	2019

Weighted average number of common shares used in computing basic net income per share	18,013,863	19,318,358	18,134,607	19,317,029

Effect of dilutive stock options	16,273	41,134	23,385	43,010

Weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares used in computing diluted net income per share	18,030,136	19,359,492	18,157,992	19,360,039

NOTE C - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following summarizes recent accounting pronouncements and their expected impact on the Company:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, guidance to change the accounting for credit losses and modify the impairment model for certain debt securities. ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model to estimate its lifetime "expected credit loss" and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is expected to result in earlier recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans and available-for-sale debt securities. Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. On October 16, 2019, the FASB voted to delay implementation of CECL until January 2023 for certain companies, including smaller reporting companies (as defined by the SEC). The Company currently qualifies as a smaller reporting company and is still assessing the impact that this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB amended ASU 2018-13 - Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement topic of the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments remove, modify, and add certain fair value disclosure requirements based on the concepts in the FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures

upon issuance of this ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This ASU eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative test. The Company adopted this ASU during the first quarter of 2020 with no impact to the consolidated financial position as a result of the adoption.

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides for temporary, optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform on financial reporting. The provisions of this ASU are elective and applicable to all entities that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions, subject to certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. There are practical expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedge accounting relationships affected by reference rate reform in order to facilitate a smoother transition to new reference rates. For contracts meeting certain criteria, a change in the contract's reference interest rate would be accounted for as a continuation of that contract rather than the creation of a new contract. This provision applies to loans, debt, leases, and other arrangements. An entity will also be permitted to preserve its hedge accounting when updating its hedging strategies in response to reference rate reform. The guidance will only apply to contracts or hedge accounting relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. This ASU is effective for March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is still assessing this ASU but is not expecting it to have an impact to the consolidated financial position.

From time to time, the FASB issues exposure drafts for proposed statements of financial accounting standards. Such exposure drafts are subject to comment from the public, to revisions by the FASB and to final issuance by the FASB as statements of financial accounting standards. Management considers the effect of the proposed statements on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and monitors the status of changes to and proposed effective dates of exposure drafts.

NOTE D - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but clarifies and standardizes some divergent practices that have emerged since prior guidance was issued. ASC 820 creates a three-level hierarchy under which individual fair value estimates are to be ranked based on the relative reliability of the inputs used in the valuation.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific moment in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Because no active market readily exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company groups assets and liabilities 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. These levels are:

●

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

●

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

●

Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale (“AFS”)

Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include U.S. government agencies, mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, and municipal bonds. There have been no changes in valuation techniques for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Valuation techniques are consistent with techniques used in prior periods.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Impaired Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and a specific reserve in the allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC 310, “Receivables”. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, or liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans where a specific reserve is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as non-recurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as non-recurring Level 3. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s impaired loans is the discount applied to appraised values to account for expected liquidation and selling costs. At June 30, 2020, the discounts

used are weighted between 3% and 50%. There were no transfers between levels from the prior reporting periods, and there have been no changes in valuation techniques for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Foreclosed real estate are properties recorded at the balance of the loan or an estimated fair value of the real estate collateral less estimated selling costs, whichever is less. Inputs include appraised values on the properties or recent sales activity for similar assets in the property’s market. Therefore, foreclosed real estate is classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s foreclosed real estate is the discount applied to appraised values to account for expected liquidation and selling costs. At June 30, 2020, the discounts used ranged between 6% and 10%. There have been no changes in valuation techniques for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Loans held for sale

The Company originates fixed and variable rate residential mortgage loans on a service-release basis in the secondary market. Loans closed but not yet settled with an investor are carried in our loans held for sale portfolio. Virtually all of these loans have commitments to be purchased by investors and the majority of these loans were locked in by price with the investors on the same day or shortly thereafter that the loan was locked in with our customers. Therefore, these loans present very little market risk. The Company usually delivers to, and receives funding from, the investor within 30 to 60 days. Commitments to sell these loans to the investor are considered derivative contracts and are sold to investors on a “best efforts” basis. The Company is not obligated to deliver a loan or pay a penalty if a loan is not delivered to the investor. Because of the short-term nature of these derivative contracts, the fair value of the mortgage loans held for sale in most cases is materially the same as the value of the loan amount at its origination.

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are provided for in a valuation allowance by charges to operations as a component of mortgage banking income. Gains or losses on sales of loans are recognized when control over these assets are surrendered and are included in mortgage banking income in the consolidated statements of income.

These loans are guaranteed by the SBA and can be forgiven and paid off by the SBA if all conditions of the program are met. Loans that do not meet the conditions of the PPP loan program could result in the Bank incurring a charge-off. The extent of this potential loss to the Bank is not known since the conditions of the program have changed and are subject to future changes.

A floating lien of $105.6 million of loans was pledged to the FHLB to secure borrowings at June 30, 2020.

Impaired loans at December 31, 2019 were approximately $11.2 million and included $5.9 million in non-accrual loans and $6.2 million in loans still in accruing status. Recorded investment represents the current principal balance for the loan. Approximately $972,000 of the $11.2 million in impaired loans at December 31, 2019 had specific allowances aggregating $413,000 while the remaining $10.2 million had no specific allowances recorded. Of the $10.2 million with no allowance recorded, partial charge-offs through December 31, 2019 amounted to $4.1 million.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when it has been determined that all contractual principal and interest will not be received. Any payments received on these loans are applied to principal first and then to interest only after all principal has been collected. In the case of an impaired loan that is still on accrual basis, payments are applied to both principal and interest.

response to the impact of COVID-19 payment deferrals were granted on 491 loans totaling $240.2 million through June 30, 2020.

Determining the fair value of PCI loans at acquisition required the Company to estimate cash flows expected to result from those loans and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest. For such loans, the excess of cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans and is called the accretable yield. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition reflects the impact of estimated credit losses and is called the nonaccretable difference. In accordance with GAAP, there was no carry-over of previously established allowance for credit losses from the acquired company.

The following table documents changes to the amount of the accretable yield on PCI loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

NOTE G – LOANS HELD FOR SALE

The Company originates fixed and variable rate residential mortgage loans on a service release basis in the secondary market. Loans closed but not yet settled with an investor are carried in loans held for sale portfolio. Virtually all of these loans have commitments to be purchased by investors and the majority of these loans were locked in by price with the investors on the same day or shortly thereafter that the loan was locked in with customers. Therefore, these loans present very little market risk. The Company usually delivers to, and receive funding from, the investor within 30 to 60 days. Commitments to sell these loans to the investor are considered derivative contracts and are sold to investors on a “best efforts” basis. The Company is not obligated to deliver a loan or pay a penalty if a loan is not delivered to the investor. Because of the short-term nature of these derivative contracts, the fair value of the mortgage loans held for sale in most cases is materially the same as the value of the loan amount at its origination.

NOTE H –BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On December 20, 2019, Select Bank & Trust Company (“Select Bank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Select Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Branch Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Entegra Bank (“Entegra”), whereby Select Bank will assume the deposits and acquire the majority of the loans, property,

equipment and other selected assets associated with three existing Entegra branch offices (the “Acquired Branches”). The Acquired Branches are being divested as required under agreements with the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, and the Federal Reserve in connection with the proposed merger of Entegra Financial Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary Entegra with First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, Raleigh, North Carolina (“First-Citizens”). The transaction is contingent upon the completion of Entegra Financial Corp.’s and Entegra’s merger with First-Citizens.

On April 17, 2020, Select completed its previously announced acquisition of three branches located in western North Carolina and pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement. The branches had approximately $170.9 million in assets and $186.4 million in liabilities as of the acquisition date, April 17, 2020. The purchase expanded the Bank’s North Carolina presence with branches in Sylva, Franklin and Highlands, North Carolina.

The purchase of the branches was accounted for under the acquisition method. The assets and liabilities of the branches, as of the effective date of the acquisition, are recorded at their respective fair values. For the acquisition of the branches, estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on the information that is available, and the Company believes this information provides a reasonable basis for determining fair values.

The following table provides the carrying value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, as recorded by the Company, the fair value adjustments calculated at the time of the merger and the resulting fair value recorded by the Company.

the one year measurement period if there happens to be notable changes in the factors determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

In determining the acquisition date fair value of purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) loans, and in subsequent accounting, the Company generally aggregates loans into pools of loans with common risk characteristics. Expected cash flows at the acquisition date in excess of the fair value of loans are referred to as the “accretable yield” and recorded as interest income prospectively.

PCI loans acquired totaled $17.0 million at estimated fair value and acquired performing loans totaling $86.2 million at estimated fair value. For PCI loans acquired from First Citizens, the contractually required payments including principal and interest, cash flows expected to be collected and fair values as of the closing date of the merger were:

Comparison of Financial Condition at

June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019

During the first six months of 2020, total assets increased by $343.9 million to $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2020. The increase in assets was due primarily to the acquisition of three branches located in western North Carolina and loans originated by the Bank in connection with its participation in the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). Earning assets at June 30, 2020 totaled $1.4 billion and consisted of $1.2 billion in net loans, $63.0 million in investment securities, $181.6 million in cash, overnight investments and interest-bearing deposits in other banks, $9.7 million in federal funds sold and $3.8 million in non-marketable equity securities. Total deposits and shareholders’ equity at the end of the second quarter of 2020 were $1.3 billion and $211.5 million, respectively.

Since the end of 2019, gross loans have increased by $220.0 million to $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2020. The increase in gross loans was due primarily to normal customer demand, the PPP loan program and the aforementioned acquisition of branches. At June 30, 2020, gross loans consisted of $161.6 million in commercial and industrial loans (which includes 1,230 PPP loans in the amount of $96.5 million), $516.1 million in commercial real estate loans, $77.9 million in multi-family residential loans, $7.5 million in consumer loans, $197.4 million in residential real estate loans, $49.3 million in HELOCs, and $245.9 million in construction loans. Deferred loan fees, net of costs, on these loans were $5.8 million (which includes $3.5 million in net fees related to PPP loans) at June 30, 2020.

At June 30, 2020 the Company held $9.7 million in federal funds sold compared to $9.0 million in federal funds sold at December 31, 2019. Interest-earning deposits in other banks were $181.6 million at June 30, 2020, a $111.5 million increase from December 31, 2019. The Company’s investment securities at June 30, 2020 were $63.0 million, a decrease of $9.4 million from December 31, 2019. The investment portfolio as of June 30, 2020 consisted of $9.1 million in government agency debt securities, $39.5 million in mortgage-backed securities, $2.2 million in corporate bonds and $12.1 million in municipal securities. The net unrealized gain on these securities was $2.2 million as of June 30, 2020.

At June 30, 2020, the Company had an investment of $3.1 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock, which increased by $15,000 from December 31, 2019. Also, the Company had $718,000 in other non-marketable securities at June 30, 2020 compared to $719,000 at December 31, 2019.

At June 30, 2020, non-earning assets were $113.5 million, an increase of $26.9 milllion from $86.6 million as of December 31, 2019. Non-earning assets included $24.0 million in cash and due from banks, bank premises and equipment of $20.9 million, goodwill of $41.9 million, core deposit intangible of $1.9 million, accrued interest receivable of $4.4 million, right of use lease asset of $9.0 million, foreclosed real estate of $3.6 million, and other assets totaling $7.8 million, including net deferred taxes of $3.6 million. Since the income on bank-owned life insurance is included in non-interest income, this asset is not included in the Company’s calculation of earning assets. The increase in non-earning assets was due primarily to the increase in cash and due from banks.

Table of Contents

Total deposits at June 30, 2020 were $1.3 billion and consisted of $400.1 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits, $495.6 million in money market and negotiable order of withdrawal, or NOW, accounts, $52.6 million in savings accounts, and $390.4 million in time deposits. Total deposits increased by $345.9 million from $992.8 million as of December 31, 2019, due primarily to the acquisition of the three branches in western North Carolina and deposits related to the PPP loan program. The Bank had $1.6 million in brokered demand deposits and $5.6 million in brokered time deposits as of June 30, 2020. The Bank had $0 million in brokered demand deposits and $45.0 million in brokered time deposits as of December 31, 2019.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $45.0 million (of which $20.0 million is identified as short-term borrowings and $25.0 million is identified as long-term debt) in FHLB borrowings, and $12.4 million in junior subordinated debentures that are classified as long-term debt.

Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2020 was $211.5 million, a decrease of $1.2 million from $212.8 million as of December 31, 2019. Accumulated other comprehensive income relating to available for sale securities increased $756,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Contributing to the reduction in shareholders’ equity were stock repurchases totaling $3.9 million, which were partially offset by net income of $1.8 million and $7,000 from the exercise of stock options.

Past Due Loans, Non-performing Assets, and Asset Quality

At June 30, 2020, the Company had $1.3 million in loans that were 30 to 59 days past due and $64,000 in loans that were 30 to 89 days past due. This represented 0.11% of gross loans outstanding on that date. This is a decrease from December 31, 2019 when there were $1.4 million in loans that were 30-89 days past due or 0.11% of gross loans outstanding. Non-accrual loans increased from $5.9 million at December 31, 2019 to $8.0 million at June 30, 2020.

The percentage of non-performing loans (non-accrual loans and accruing troubled debt restructurings) to total loans decreased from 1.18% at December 31, 2019 to 1.15% at June 30, 2020.

Total non-performing assets (non-accrual loans, accruing TDRs, and foreclosed real estate) at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $18.0 million and $15.7 million, respectively. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2020 represented 67% of non-performing assets compared to 53% at December 31, 2019.

Total impaired loans at June 30, 2020 were $12.0 million. This included $8.0 million in loans that were classified as impaired because they were in non-accrual status and $6.4 million in accruing TDRs. Of these loans, $1.4 million required a specific reserve of $740,000 at June 30, 2020.

Total impaired loans at December 31, 2019 were $11.2 million. This included $5.9 million in loans that were classified as impaired because they were in non-accrual status and $6.2 million in accruing TDRs. Of these loans, $1.0 million required a specific reserve of $413,000 at December 31, 2019.

The allowance for loan losses was $12.1 million at June 30, 2020 or 0.96% of gross loans outstanding as compared to 0.81% reported as a percentage of gross loans at December 31, 2019. This increase resulted primarily from changes in loans requiring a specific reserve plus qualitative factors related to COVID-19 and economic performance indicators. The Legacy Select loans, Carolina Premier and First Citizens Bank loans were recorded at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date and the related credit risk is reflected as a fair value adjustment rather than separately in the allowance for losses as required in acquisition accounting. This required accounting under generally accepted accounting

principles has resulted in a lower percentage of the allowance for loan losses to gross loans. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2020 represented 84% of non-performing loans compared to 69% at December 31, 2019. It is management’s assessment that the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2020 is appropriate in light of the risk inherent within the Company’s loan portfolio. No assurances, however, can be given that further adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may not be deemed necessary in the future. The current economic and business disruptions in the Bank’s markets, and in the national and global markets more generally, are unprecedented, as state, local, and national governing bodies attempt to address the public health emergency caused by COVID-19. Management expects the Company’s customers, including its borrowers, will continue to experience the financial impacts of COVID-19 over the balance of the 2020 fiscal year. Depending on the length of financial impact and the effectiveness of the various governmental programs put in place to stabilize economic conditions, the Company’s management would expect to see increased volatility in the Company’s allowance for loan losses and related provision expense during subsequent quarters in 2020. The CARES Act provided an opportunity for loan customers to request a temporary modification of the payment terms on their loans granting the customer time to address cashflow issues. The Bank entered into modifications on 491 loans amounting to $240.2 million during the quarter of which 137 loans totaling $83.1 million remained on modification as of June 30, 2020. See Item 1A (Risk Factors) later in this report for additional discussion of COVID-19.

Contractual Obligations

The following table presents the Company's significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations by payment date. The payment amounts represent those amounts contractually due to the recipient.

Other Lending Risk Factors

Besides monitoring non-performing loans and past due loans, management also monitors trends in the loan portfolio that may indicate more than normal risk. A discussion of certain other risk factors follows. Some loans or groups of loans may contain one or more of these individual loan risk factors. Therefore, an accumulation of the amounts or percentages of the individual loan risk factors may not necessarily be an indication of the cumulative risk in the total loan portfolio.

Table of Contents

Regulatory Loan to Value Ratios

The Company monitors its exposure to loans that exceed the guidelines established by regulators for loan to value (“LTV”) ratios.

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $42.7 million and $27.7 million in non-1-to-4 family residential loans that exceeded the regulatory LTV limits, respectively. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $11.1 million and $10.0 million of 1-to-4 family residential loans that exceeded the regulatory LTV limits, respectively. The total amount of these loans represented 32.5% and 23.2% of total risk-based capital as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which is less than the 100% maximum allowed. These loans may represent more than ordinary risk to the Company if the real estate market weakens in terms of market activity or collateral valuations.

Business Sector Concentrations

Loan concentrations in certain business sectors can be impacted by lower than normal retail sales, higher unemployment, higher vacancy rates, and a weakening in real estate market conditions. The Company has established an internal commercial real estate guideline of 40% of risk-based capital for any single product line.

At June 30, 2020, the Company had five product type groups which exceeded this guideline; Office Building, which represented 53% of risk-based capital or $88.5 million; Commercial Construction, which represented 74% of risk-based capital or $123.5 million; 1-to-4 Family Rental property, which represented 58% of risk-based capital or $96.9 million, Retail property, which represented 50.0% of risk-based capital or $82.3 million, and Apartment Complex/Multi-Family, which represented 46% of risk-based capital or $75.7 million. All other commercial real estate groups were at or below the 40% threshold. The internal guideline levels heighten the level of Company monitoring of such loans in underwriting and ongoing servicing activities.

At December 31, 2019, the Company had three product types that exceeded the 40% guideline. The following product types were in excess of the 40% guidelines; apartments, commercial construction and office buildings. All other commercial and residential real estate product types were under the 40% threshold as of such date.

Acquisition, Development, and Construction Loans (“ADC”)

The tables below provide information regarding loans the Company originates for the purpose of acquisition, development, and construction of both residential and commercial properties as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Interest-Only Payments

Another risk factor that exists in the total loan portfolio pertains to loans with interest-only payment terms. At June 30, 2020, the Company had $266.2 million in loans that had terms permitting interest-only payments. This represented 21.3% of the total loan portfolio. At December 31, 2019, the Company had $249.9 million in loans that had terms permitting interest only payments. This represented 24.3% of the total loan portfolio. Recognizing the risk inherent with interest-only loans, it is customary and general industry practice that loans in the ADC portfolio permit interest-only payments during the acquisition, development, and construction phases of such projects.

Large Dollar Concentrations

Concentrations of high dollar loans or large customer relationships may pose additional risk in the total loan portfolio. The Company’s ten largest loans or lines of credit totaled $85.8 million, or 6.9% of total loans, at June 30, 2020 compared to $82.0 million, or 8.0% of total loans, at December 31, 2019. The Company’s ten largest customer relationships totaled $147.6 million, or 11.8% of total loans, at June 30, 2020 compared to $129.5 million, or 12.6% of total loans, at December 31, 2019. Deterioration or loss in any one or more of these high dollar loan or customer concentrations could have an immediate, significant adverse impact on the Company’s capital position.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the

Three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

General. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company reported net income of $681,000 as compared with net income of $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2019. Net income per common share for the second quarter of 2020 was $0.04 basic and diluted, compared with net income per common share of $0.18 basic and diluted, for the second quarter of 2019. Results of operations for the second quarter of 2020 were primarily impacted by an increase of $157,000 in net interest income and an increase in non-interest expense of $1.7 million, which was primarily related to increases in occupancy expenses of $64,000, and information systems expenses of $95,000, merger related expenses of $602,000, foreclosed real estate expense of $177,000, personnel expense of $755,000 which were offset by a decrease in deposit insurance expense of $14,000, and professional fees of $32,000. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to a recovery of provision of $207,000 in the second quarter of 2019, which increased provision expense had a significant impact on the reduced net income reported for the 2020 second quarter as compared to the comparative period in 2019.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income remained basically unchanged for the second quarter of 2020 from the second quarter of 2019. The Company’s total interest income was affected by an increase in earning loans, which was offset by a reduction in earning balances of federal funds sold and investments in addition to the interest rate reductions. Average total interest-earning assets were $1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2020 compared with $1.2 billion during the same period in 2019, while the average yield on those assets decreased 76 basis points from 4.98% to 4.22%, which was primarily due to the reduction of interest rates on loans due to modifications related to COVID-19, reduced rates on overnight interest earning assets and reduced investment securities.

Table of Contents

The Company’s average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $147.4 million to $935.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 from $788.1 million for the same period one year earlier and the cost of those funds decreased from 1.39% to 1.14%, or 25 basis points. The increase in interest-bearing liabilities was a primary result of increased savings, money market and time deposits from the acquisition of three branches offset by a reduction in wholesale deposits. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company’s net interest margin was 3.45% and net interest spread was 3.08%. In the same quarter ended one year earlier, net interest margin was 4.06% and net interest spread was 3.59%.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management. In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, management considers factors that include growth, composition and industry diversification of the portfolio, historical loan loss experience, current delinquency levels, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions and other relevant factors. In determining the loss history to be applied to its ASC 450 loan pools within the allowance for loan losses, the Company uses loss history based on the weighted average net charge off history for the most recent fourteen consecutive quarters, based on the risk-graded pool to which the loss was assigned. Historical loss rates are now calculated by using a loss migration analysis associating losses to the risk-graded pool to which they relate for each of the previous twelve quarters. Then, using a twelve quarter look back period, loss factors are calculated for each risk-graded pool. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.9 million, as compared to the recovery of $207,000 that was recorded in the second quarter of 2019.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $1.4 million, an increase of $83,000 from the second quarter of 2019. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $78,000 to $206,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 from $284,000 for the same period in 2019. Other non-deposit fees and income increased $36,000 from the second quarter of 2019 to the second quarter of 2020 due to increases in various items. Fees from the sale of mortgages increased from $125,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 to $850,000 for the second quarter of 2020. The Company did not have sales of securities during the three months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019, respectively.

Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses increased by $1.7 million to $10.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, from $8.8 million for the same period in 2019. In general, most categories of non-interest expenses increased primarily due to changes in the Company’s branch network. The following are highlights of the significant categories of non-interest expenses during the second quarter of 2020 versus the same period in 2019:

●

Personnel expenses increased $755,000 to $5.8 million, due to additional personnel and cost of living increases.

●

Occupancy expenses increased $64,000, primarily due to additional branches, repairs and maintenance and increased rent expense due to normal rent escalation.

●

Integration related expenses increased $602,000 due to the acquisition of the three branches in western North Carolina.

Table of Contents

●

CDI expense decreased $10,000 due to the amortization.

●

Information systems expense increased by $95,000 due to increased expenses related to the new mobile banking platform and security cost for the core processing system.

●

Professional fees decreased by $32,000 to $451,000.

●

Deposit insurance expenses decreased by $14,000 due to increased premium credit earned.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate was 22.0% and 22.0% for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of June 30, 2020 and December, 31, 2019, the Company had a net deferred tax asset in the amount of $3.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively. In evaluating whether the Company will realize the full benefit of the net deferred tax asset, management considered both positive and negative evidence, including among other things recent earnings trends, projected earnings, and asset quality. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, management concluded that the net deferred tax assets were fully realizable. The Company will continue to monitor deferred tax assets closely to evaluate whether the full benefit of the net deferred tax asset will require a valuation allowance. Significant negative trends in credit quality or losses from operations, among other trends, could impact the realization of the deferred tax asset in the future.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the

Six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

General. During the first six months of 2020, the Company reported net income of $1.8 million as compared with net income of $6.8 million for the first six months of 2019. Net income per common share for the first six months of 2020 was $0.10 basic and diluted, compared with net income per common share of $0.35 basic and diluted, for the first six months of 2019. Results of operations for the second quarter of 2020 were primarily impacted by an increase of $160,000 in net interest income and an increase in non-interest expense of $2.6 million, which was primarily related to increases in occupancy expenses of $268,000, foreclosed real estate expense of $152,000, merger related expenses of $641,000, information systems expenses of $344,000, and personnel expense of $1.4 million, which were offset by a decrease in deposit insurance expense of $131,000 and professional fees of $42,000. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $4.2 million for the first six months of 2020 compared to a recovery of $95,000 in the first six months of 2019, which the increased provision expense had a significant impact on the reduced net income reported for the 2020 first six months of 2020 as compared to the comparative period in 2019.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income remained basically unchanged for the first six months of 2020 from the first six months of 2019. The Company’s total interest income was affected by an

Table of Contents

increase in earning loans, which was offset by a reduction in earning balances of federal funds sold and investments in addition to the interest rate reductions. Average total interest-earning assets were $1.3 billion in the first six months of 2020 compared with $1.1 billion during the same period in 2019, while the average yield on those assets decreased 49 basis points from 5.03% to 4.54%, which was primarily due to the reduction of interest rates on loans, federal funds purchased and reduced investment securities.

The Company’s average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $85.0 million to $865.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $780.1 million for the same period one year earlier and the cost of those funds decreased from 1.41% to 1.25%, or 16 basis points. The increase in interest-bearing liabilities was a primary result of increased savings, money market and time deposits acquired in the acquisition of branches offset by reduced wholesale deposits. During the first six months of 2020, the Company’s net interest margin was 3.69% and net interest spread was 3.29%. In the same quarter ended one year earlier, net interest margin was 4.07% and net interest spread was 3.59%.

During the first half of 2020, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $4.2 million, as compared to the recovery of $95,000 that was recorded in the first half of 2019.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.9 million, an increase of $330,000 from the first six months of 2019. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $6,000 to $544,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $550,000 for the same period in 2019. Other non-deposit fees and income increased $75,000 from the first six months of 2019 to the first six months of 2020 due to increases in various items. Fees from the sale of mortgages increased from $550,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $648,000 for the first six months of 2020. The Company did not have sales of securities during the first six months of June 30, 2020 or 2019, respectively.

Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses increased by $2.6 million to $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from $17.1 million for the same period in 2019. In general, most categories of non-interest expenses increased primarily due to changes in the Company’s branch network. The following are highlights of the significant categories of non-interest expenses during the first six months of 2020 versus the same period in 2019:

●

Personnel expenses increased $1.4 million to $11.4 million, due to additional personnel and cost of living increases and acquisition of three branches.

Table of Contents

●

Occupancy expenses increased $268,000, primarily due to additional branches, repairs and maintenance and increased rent expense due to normal rent escalation.

●

Integration related expenses increased $641,000.

●

CDI expense decreased $50,000 due to the amortization.

●

Information systems expense increased by $344,000 due to increased expenses related to the new mobile banking platform and security cost for the core processing system.

●

Professional fees decreased by $42,000 to $823,000.

●

Deposit insurance expenses decreased by $131,000 due to increased premium credit earned.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate was 19.4% and 22.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Liquidity

The Company’s liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, withdrawals and maturities of deposits, and other cash outflows in a cost effective manner. The principal sources of liquidity are deposits, scheduled payments and prepayments of loan principal, maturities of investment securities, access to liquid deposits, and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan payments and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Liquid assets (consisting of cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits with other banks, federal funds sold

Table of Contents

and investment securities classified as available for sale) represented 15.7% of total assets at June 30, 2020 as compared to 11.9% as of December 31, 2019.

The Company has been a net seller of federal funds since its inception and strives to maintain a position of liquidity sufficient to fund future loan demand and to satisfy fluctuations in deposit levels. Should the need arise, the Company would have the capability to sell securities classified as available for sale or to borrow funds as necessary. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had existing credit lines with other financial institutions to purchase up to $261.2 million in federal funds. Also, as a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, the Company may obtain advances of up to 10% of total assets, subject to available collateral. A floating lien of $105.6 million of qualifying loans is pledged to the FHLB to secure borrowings. At June 30, 2020, the Company had $45.0 million in FHLB advances outstanding. Another source of short-term borrowings available to the Bank is securities sold under agreements to repurchase. At June 30, 2020, in addition to FHLB advances, total borrowings consisted of junior subordinated debentures of $12.4 million.

Total deposits were $1.3 billion at June 30, 2020. Time deposits, which are the only deposit accounts that have stated maturity dates, are generally considered to be rate sensitive. Time deposits represented 29.2% of total deposits at June 30, 2020. Time deposits of $250,000 or more represented 29.2% of the Company’s total deposits at June 30, 2020. At quarter-end, the Company had $5.6 million in brokered time deposits and $1.6 in brokered demand deposits. Management believes most other time deposits are relationship-oriented. While the Bank will need to pay competitive rates to retain these deposits at their maturities, there are other subjective factors that will determine their continued retention. Based upon prior experience, the Company anticipates that a substantial portion of outstanding certificates of deposit will renew upon maturity.

Management believes that current sources of funds provide adequate liquidity for the Bank’s current cash flow needs. The Company maintains cash balances at the parent holding company level. Management believes that the current cash balances will provide adequate liquidity for the Company’s current cash flow needs.

Capital Resources

A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its capital base. Federal regulations have classified and defined capital into the following components: (1) Tier 1 capital, which includes common shareholders’ equity and qualifying preferred equity, and (2) Tier 2 capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses, certain qualifying long-term debt and preferred stock which does not qualify as Tier 1 capital. The Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based ratio does not include limited life components such as trust preferred securities in this calculation. Minimum capital levels are regulated by risk-based capital adequacy guidelines, which require a financial institution to maintain capital as a percentage of its assets, and certain off-balance sheet items adjusted for predefined credit risk factors (risk-adjusted assets). The Company’s equity to assets ratio was 13.06% at June 30, 2020.

As the following table indicates, at June 30, 2020, the Company and the Bank both exceeded minimum regulatory capital requirements as specified below.

Leverage ratio	10.44	%	4.00	%	5.00	%
Common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio	12.02	%	4.50	%	6.50	%

During 2004, the Company issued $12.4 million of junior subordinated debentures to a newly formed subsidiary, New Century Statutory Trust I, which in turn issued $12.0 million of trust preferred securities. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities provided additional capital for the growth and expansion of the Bank. Under the current applicable regulatory guidelines, all of the proceeds from the issuance of these trust preferred securities qualify as Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2020.

Management expects that the Bank will remain “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes, although there can be no assurance that additional capital will not be required in the future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Company intends to reach its strategic financial objectives through the effective management of market risk. Like many financial institutions, the Company’s most significant market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The Company’s primary goal in managing interest rate risk is to minimize the effect that changes in market interest rates have on earnings and capital. This goal is accomplished through the active management of the balance sheet. The goal of these activities is to structure the maturity and repricing of assets and liabilities to produce stable net interest income despite changing interest rates. The Company’s overall interest rate risk position is governed by policies approved by the Board of Directors and guidelines established and monitored by the Bank’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”).

To measure, monitor, and report on interest rate risk, the Company begins with two models: (1) net interest income (“NII”) at risk, which measures the impact on NII over the next twelve and twenty-four months to immediate changes in interest rates and (2) net economic value of equity (“EVE”), which measures the impact on the present value of net assets to immediate changes in interest rates. NII at risk is designed to measure the potential short-term impact of changes in interest rates on NII.

Table of Contents

EVE is a long-term measure of interest rate risk to the Company’s balance sheet, or equity. Gap analysis, which is the difference between the amount of balance sheet assets and liabilities repricing within a specified time period, is used as a secondary measure of the Company’s interest rate risk position. All of these models are subject to ALCO guidelines and are monitored regularly.

In calculating NII at risk, the Company begins with a base amount of NII that is projected over the next twelve and twenty-four months, assuming that the balance sheet is static and the yield curve remains unchanged over the period. The current yield curve is then “shocked,” or moved immediately, ±1.0 percent, ±2.0 percent, ±3.0 percent and ±4.0 percent in a parallel fashion, or at all points along the yield curve. New twelve-month and twenty four-month NII projections are then developed using the same balance sheet but with the new yield curves, and these results are compared to the base scenario. The Company also models other scenarios to evaluate potential NII at risk such as a gradual ramp in interest rates, a flattening yield curve, a steepening yield curve, and others that management deems appropriate.

EVE at risk is based on the change in the present value of all assets and liabilities under different interest rate scenarios. The present value of existing cash flows with the current yield curve serves as the base case. The Company then applies an immediate parallel shock to that yield curve of ±1.0 percent, ±2.0 percent, ±3.0 percent and ±4.0 percent and recalculates the cash flows and related present values.

Key assumptions used in the models described above include the timing of cash flows, the maturity and repricing of assets and liabilities, changes in market conditions, and interest-rate sensitivities of the Company’s non-maturity deposits with respect to interest rates paid and the level of balances. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the models cannot precisely calculate future NII or predict the impact of changes in interest rates on NII and EVE. Actual results could differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of changes in interest rates and market conditions, changes in spreads and management strategies, among other factors. Projections of NII are assessed as part of the Company’s forecasting process.

NII and EVE Analysis. The following table presents the estimated exposure to NII for the next twelve months due to immediate changes in interest rates and the estimated exposure to EVE due to immediate changes in interest rates. All information is presented as of March 31, 2020.


	March 31, 2020
(Dollars in thousands)	Estimated Effect on NII		Estimated Effect on EVE
Immediate change in interest rates:
+ 4.0%	7.3	%	15.1	%
+ 3.0%	4.6		11.9
+ 2.0%	1.8		8.2
+ 1.0%	0.5		4.3
No change	—		—
- 1.0%	0.2		(3.6)

While the measures presented in the table above are not a prediction of future NII or EVE valuations, they do suggest that if all other variables remained constant, immediate increases in interest rates at all points on the yield curve may produce higher NII in the short term. Other important factors that

Table of Contents

impact the levels of NII are balance sheet size and mix, interest rate spreads, the slope of the yield curve, the speed of interest rates changes, and management actions taken in response to the preceding conditions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and such effects will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict.

Global health concerns relating to the COVID-19 outbreak and related government actions taken to reduce the spread of the virus have been weighing on the macroeconomic environment, and the outbreak has significantly increased economic uncertainty and reduced economic activity. The outbreak has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place or total lock-down orders and business limitations and shutdowns. Such measures have significantly contributed to rising unemployment and negatively impacted consumer and business spending. The United States government has taken steps to attempt to mitigate some of the more severe anticipated economic effects of the virus, including the passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, but there can be no assurance that such steps will be effective or achieve their desired results in a timely fashion.

The outbreak has adversely impacted and is likely to further adversely impact our workforce and operations and the operations of our borrowers, customers and business partners. In particular, we may experience financial losses due to a number of factors impacting us or our borrowers, customers or business partners, including but not limited to:

●

demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income;

●

if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income;

●

collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase;

●

our allowance for loan losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties beyond forbearance periods, which will adversely affect our net income;

●

the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us;

●

as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income;

●

a prolonged weakness in economic conditions resulting in a reduction of future projected earnings could result in our recording a valuation allowance against our current outstanding deferred tax assets;

●

we rely on third-party vendors for certain services and the unavailability of a critical service (such as information technology network and data processing services) due to the COVID-19 outbreak could have an adverse effect on us;

●

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs;

Table of Contents

●

operational failures due to changes in our normal business practices necessitated by the outbreak and related governmental actions; and

●

increased cyber and payment fraud risk, as cybercriminals attempt to profit from the disruption, given increased online and remote activity.

Additionally, our future success and profitability substantially depends on the management skills of our executive officers and directors, many of whom have held officer and director positions with us for many years. The unanticipated loss or unavailability of key employees due to the outbreak could harm our ability to operate our business or execute our business strategy. We may not be successful in finding and integrating suitable successors in the event of key employee loss or unavailability.

Any one or a combination of these factors could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects. These factors may remain prevalent for a significant period of time and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided.

The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices (including restricting employee travel and developing work-from-home and social distancing plans for our employees), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or will otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities.

The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of the virus’s global economic impact, including the availability of credit, adverse impacts on our liquidity and any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

There are no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the outbreak is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole. However, the effects could have a material impact on our results of operations and heighten many of our known risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
