1.Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Security Bancshares (“Company” or “USB”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, United Security Bank (“Bank”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information on a basis consistent with the accounting policies reflected in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in its 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of a normal, recurring nature and considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole.

Reclassifications:

Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior period net income or shareholders’ equity.

2.Investment Securities

Following is a comparison of the amortized cost and fair value of securities available-for-sale as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023:


	June 30, 2024

The amortized cost and fair value of securities available for sale at June 30, 2024, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Contractual maturities on collateralized mortgage obligations cannot be anticipated due to allowed paydowns.

Table of Contents


	June 30, 2024
(In thousands)	Amortized Cost		Fair Value (Carrying Amount)
Due in one year or less	$	101	$	100
Due after one year through five years	34,614		32,833

Due after ten years	1,956		1,955
Collateralized mortgage obligations	95,748		82,451
	$	186,101	$	162,916

There were no proceeds or realized gains or losses from the sale or call of available-for-sale securities for the three and six-month periods ended periods ended June 30, 2024, or June 30, 2023.

As market interest rates or risks associated with a security’s issuer continue to change and impact the actual or perceived values of investment securities, the Company may determine that selling these securities and using the proceeds to purchase securities that better fit with the Company’s current risk profile is appropriate and beneficial to the Company. There were no losses recorded due to credit-related factors for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, or June 30, 2023.

At June 30, 2024, available-for-sale securities with an amortized cost of approximately $95.1 million and a fair value of $82.1 million were pledged as collateral for FHLB borrowings, securitized deposits, and public funds balances. At December 31, 2023, available-for-sale securities with an amortized cost of approximately $94.3 million and a fair value of $82.9 million were pledged as collateral for FHLB borrowings, securitized deposits, and public funds balances.

The following summarizes available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position for which a credit loss has not been recorded:

Table of Contents

The following summarizes the number of available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position for which a credit loss has not been recorded:


	June 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
Securities available for sale:
U.S. Government agencies	4	4
U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by mortgage obligations	46	46
Municipal bonds	46	45
Corporate bonds	8	8
U.S. Treasury securities	—	2
Total available for sale	104	105

Management has evaluated each available-for-sale investment security in an unrealized loss position to determine if it would be required to sell the security before the fair value increases to amortized cost and whether any unrealized losses are due to credit losses or noncredit factors such as current market rates, which would not require the establishment of an allowance for credit losses. At June 30, 2024, the decline in fair value of the available-for-sale securities is attributed to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. These declines are primarily the result of the fast pace and large increases in interest rates during the last two years, which have led to decreases in bond prices and increases in yields. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities, and because it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider it necessary to provide an allowance for any available-for-sale security at June 30, 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized unrealized gains of $46,000 and unrealized losses of $7,000, respectively, related to one mutual fund included in marketable equity securities. During the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized unrealized gains of $4,000 and unrealized losses of $50,000, respectively, related to the same mutual fund.

The Company had no held-to-maturity or trading securities at June 30, 2024, or December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents

Commercial and industrial loans are generally made to support the ongoing operations of small- to medium-sized commercial businesses. Commercial and industrial loans have a high degree of industry diversification and provide working capital, financing for the purchase of manufacturing plants and equipment, or funding for growth and general expansion of businesses. A substantial portion of commercial and industrial loans are secured by accounts receivable, inventory, leases, or other collateral including real estate; the remainder are unsecured. Extensions of credit are predicated upon the financial capacity of the borrower and repayment is generally from the cash flow of the borrower.

Real estate mortgage loans are typically secured by either trust deeds on commercial property or single-family residences. Repayment of real estate mortgage loans generally comes from the cash flow of the borrower and or guarantor(s).

•Commercial real estate mortgage loans comprise the largest segment of this loan category and are available for both income-producing and non-income-producing commercial properties, including office buildings, shopping centers, apartments and motels, owner-occupied buildings, manufacturing facilities, and more. Commercial real estate mortgage loans can also be used to refinance existing debt. These loans are typically repaid from the borrower’s business operations, rental income associated with the real property, or personal assets.

•Residential mortgage loans are provided to individuals to finance or refinance single-family residences. Residential mortgages are not a primary business line offered by the Company, and a majority are conventional mortgages that were purchased as a pool.

•Home improvement and home equity loans comprise a relatively small portion of total real estate mortgage loans. Home equity loans are generally secured by junior trust deeds, but may be secured by 1st trust deeds.

Real estate construction and development loans consist of loans for residential and commercial construction projects, as well as land acquisition and development, and land held for future development. Loans in this category are secured by real estate, including improved- and unimproved-land, as well as single-family residential, multi-family residential, and commercial properties in various stages of completion. All real estate loans have established equity requirements. Repayment of construction loans generally comes from long-term mortgages with other lending institutions obtained at completion of the project or from the sale of the constructed homes to individuals.

Agricultural loans are generally secured by land, equipment, inventory, and receivables. Repayment is from the cash flow of the borrower.

Installment loans generally consist of student loans; loans to individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures; automobiles; or other consumer items. See “Note 4 - Student Loans” for specific information on the student loan portfolio.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. At June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, these financial instruments include commitments to extend credit of $165.7 million and $183.5 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit of $1.7 million and $2.9 million for the same period ends, respectively. These instruments involve elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in off-balance sheet financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to these financial instruments is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. The Company applies the same credit policies used for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit continue as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the customer’s contract. Substantially all of these commitments are at floating interest rates based on the prime rate and generally have fixed expiration dates. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis and requires collateral in some cases. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, leases, property, plant and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing properties.

Nonaccrual Loans

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status under the following circumstances:

- When there is doubt regarding the full repayment of interest and principal.

- When principal and/or interest on the loan has been in default for 90 days or more, unless the asset is both well-secured and in the process of collection that will result in repayment in the near future.

- When the loan is identified as having loss elements and/or is risk rated grade 8 (doubtful).

Table of Contents

Loans on nonaccrual status are usually returned to accrual status when all delinquent principal and/or interest has been brought current, when there is no identified element of loss, and when current and continued satisfactory performance is expected. Return to accrual is generally demonstrated through the timely receipt of at least six monthly payments on a loan with monthly amortization. There was no interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

There were no remaining undisbursed commitments to extend credit on nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2024, or December 31, 2023.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans on nonaccrual status and accruing loans more than 90 days past due:

Credit Quality Indicators

As part of its credit monitoring program, the Company utilizes a risk rating system to quantify the risk the Company estimates it has assumed during the life of a loan. This system rates the strength of the borrower and the facility or transaction, and is designed to provide a program for risk management and early detection of problems.

For each new credit approval, credit extension, renewal, or modification of existing credit facilities, the Company assigns risk ratings utilizing the rating scale identified in this policy. In addition, on an ongoing basis, loans and credit facilities are reviewed for internal and external influences impacting the credit facility that would warrant a change in the risk rating. Each credit facility is given a risk rating that takes into account factors that materially affect credit quality.

When assigning risk ratings, the Company evaluates two risk-rating approaches; a facility rating and a borrower rating.

Facility Rating:

The facility rating is determined by the analysis of positive and negative factors that may indicate that the quality of a particular loan or credit arrangement requires a different risk rating than that assigned to the borrower. The Company assesses the risk impact of these factors:

Collateral - The rating may be affected by the type and quality of the collateral, the degree of coverage, the economic life of the collateral, the liquidation value, and the Company's ability to dispose of the collateral.

Guarantees - The value of third-party support arrangements varies widely. Unconditional guarantees from persons with demonstrable ability to perform are more substantial than that of persons closely-related to the borrower who offer only modest support.

Unusual Terms - Credit may be extended on terms that subject the Company to a higher level of risk than indicated in the rating of the borrower.

Borrower Rating:

The borrower rating is a measure of loss possibility based on the historical, current, and anticipated financial characteristics of the borrower in the current risk environment. To determine the rating, the Company considers the following factors:

Table of Contents

- Quality of management

- Liquidity

- Leverage/capitalization

- Profit margins/earnings trend

- Adequacy of financial records

- Alternative funding sources

- Geographic risk

- Industry risk

- Cash flow risk

- Accounting practices

- Asset protection

- Extraordinary risks

The Company assigns risk ratings to loans, other than consumer loans and other homogeneous loan pools, based on the following scale. The risk ratings are used when determining borrower ratings as well as facility ratings. The Company uses the following risk rating grades:

Pass Ratings:

- Grades 1 and 2 – These grades include loans to high-quality borrowers with high credit quality and sound financial strength. Key financial ratios are generally above industry averages and the borrower has a strong earnings history or net worth. These may be secured by deposit accounts or high-grade investment securities.

- Grade 3 – This grade includes loans to borrowers with solid credit quality and minimal risk. The borrower’s balance sheet and financial ratios are generally in line with industry averages, and the borrower has historically demonstrated the ability to manage economic adversity. Real estate and asset-based loans assigned this risk rating must have characteristics that place them well above the minimum underwriting requirements for those departments. Asset-based borrowers assigned this rating must exhibit extremely favorable leverage and cash flow characteristics and consistently demonstrate a high level of unused borrowing capacity.

- Grades 4 and 5 – These include pass-grade loans to borrowers of acceptable credit quality and risk. The borrower’s balance sheet and financial ratios may be below industry averages but above the lowest industry quartile. Leverage is above and liquidity is below industry averages. Inadequacies evident in financial performance and/or management sufficiency are offset by readily available features of support, such as adequate collateral, or good guarantors having the liquid assets and/or cash flow capacity to repay the debt. Although the borrower may have recognized a loss over three or four years, recent earnings trends, while perhaps somewhat cyclical, are improving, and cash flows are adequate to cover debt service and fixed obligations. Real estate and asset borrowers who fully comply with all underwriting standards and are performing according to projections are assigned this rating. These also include grade 5 loans which are leveraged or on management’s watch list. While still considered pass loans, the borrower’s financial condition, cash flow, or operations evidence more than average risk and short-term weaknesses. These loans warrant a higher-than-average level of monitoring, supervision, and attention from the Company, but do not reflect credit weakness trends that weaken or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position. Loans with a grade 5 rating are not normally acceptable as new credits unless they are adequately secured or carry substantial endorser/guarantors.

Special Mention Rating:

- Grade 6 – This grade includes loans that are currently protected but potentially weak. This is generally an interim classification and these loans will typically be upgraded to an acceptable rating or downgraded to a substandard rating within a reasonable time period. Weaknesses in special mention loans may, if not checked or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are often loans with weaknesses inherent in the loan origination and loan servicing, and may have some technical deficiencies. This designation indicates a distinct probability that the classification will deteriorate to a more adverse class if the noted deficiencies are not addressed by the loan officer or loan management.

Substandard Rating:

- Grade 7 – This grade includes substandard loans that are inadequately supported by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness, or

Table of Contents

weaknesses, that may impair the regular liquidation of the debt. When a loan has been downgraded to substandard, there exists a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful Ratings:

- Grade 8 – This grade includes doubtful loans that exhibit the same characteristics as substandard loans. Loan weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high but, due to pending factors that may work toward the strengthening of the loan, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include a proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, and refinancing plans.

- Grade 9 – This grade includes loans classified as loss which are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the asset even though partial recovery may be achieved in the future.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instrument-Credit Losses (Topic 326), effective January 1, 2023. This loss measurement, which uses the current expected credit loss (CECL) cohort methodology analysis, relies on segmenting the loan portfolio into pools with similar risks, tracking the performance of the pools over time, and using the data to determine pool loss experience. Management estimates the allowance for credit loss balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The cumulative loss rate used as the basis for the estimate of credit losses is comprised of the Company’s historical loss experience from 2006 to the most recent quarter. The Company expects that the markets in which it operates will experience a slight decline in economic conditions and an increase in unemployment rates and levels and trends of delinquencies over the next two years. Management has adjusted the historical loss experience for these expectations.

The Company analyzes risk characteristics inherent in each loan portfolio segment as part of the quarterly review of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on loans. The following summarizes some of the key risk characteristics for the ten segments of the loan portfolio:

Table of Contents

Commercial and industrial loans – Commercial loans are subject to the effects of economic cycles and tend to exhibit increased risk as economic conditions deteriorate or economic downturns are prolonged. The Company considers this segment to be one of higher risk given the size of individual loans and the balances in the overall portfolio.

Government program loans – This is a relatively small part of the Company’s loan portfolio but has historically had a high percentage of loans that have migrated from pass to substandard given their vulnerability to economic cycles.

Commercial real estate loans – This segment is considered to have more risk due to the vulnerability of commercial businesses to economic cycles as well as their exposure to fluctuations in real estate prices. Losses in this segment have been historically low because most loans are real estate-secured, and the Bank maintains appropriate loan-to-value ratios.

Residential mortgages – This segment is considered to have low risk factors based on the past experience of both the Company and peers. Loans in this category are secured by first deeds of trust.

Home improvement and home equity loans – Because of their junior lien position, these loans have an inherently higher risk level.

Real estate construction and development loans – This segment of loans is considered to have a higher risk profile due to construction issues and market value fluctuations in conjunction with normal credit risks.

Agricultural loans – This segment is considered to have risks associated with weather, insects, marketing issues, commodity prices, land valuation, water availability, fertilizer costs, and crop concentration. Additionally, California may experience severe droughts, which can significantly harm the business of customers and the credit quality of the loans to those customers. Water resources and related issues affecting customers are closely monitored. Signs of deterioration within this loan portfolio are closely monitored to manage credit quality and promote early efforts to work with borrowers to mitigate any potential losses.

Installment, overdrafts, and overdraft protection lines – This segment is at higher risk because most of the loans are unsecured. Additionally, in the case of student loans, there are increased risks associated with liquidity as there is a significant time lag between funding a student loan and eventual repayment.

The following summarizes the activity in the allowance for credit losses by loan category:

Collateral-Dependent Loans

A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.

The following table presents the recorded investment in collateral-dependent loans by type of loan:


	June 30, 2024			December 31, 2023

Agricultural loans	390		1		390		1

Total	$	12,457	4		$	11,780	4

Reserve for Unfunded Commitments

The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposure relates to commitments to extend credit, letters of credit, and undisbursed funds on lines of credit. The Company evaluates credit risk associated with the off-balance sheet loan commitments in the same manner as it evaluates credit risk within the loan portfolio. There was a reversal of provision of $194,000 for unfunded loan commitments made during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, decreasing the liability balance to $732,000. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, there was a provision of $135,000 made for unfunded loan commitments increasing the balance for unfunded loan commitments to $940,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, a reversal of provision of $103,000 and a provision of $135,000 were made, respectively. The reserve for the unfunded loan commitments is a liability on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and is included in other liabilities.

Loan Modifications

Occasionally, the Company modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing principal forgiveness, term extension, and other-than-insignificant payment delay or interest rate reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged off against the allowance for credit losses. There was one loan modification made during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. No loans modifications were made during the three or six months ended June 30, 2023.

4.Student Loans

Included in the installment loan portfolio are $36.6 million and $38.5 million in student loans at June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, made to medical and pharmacy school students. Upon graduation, the loan is automatically placed in a grace period of six months. This may be extended up to 48 months for graduates enrolling in internships, medical residency, or fellowship programs. As approved, the student may receive additional deferment for hardship or administrative reasons in the form of forbearance for a maximum of 36 months throughout the life of the loan. Student loans have not been originated or purchased since 2019.

As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the reserve against the student loan portfolio was $6.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively. At June 30, 2024, there were $206,000 in student loans in the substandard category. At December 31, 2023, there were $426,000 in student loans included in the substandard category.

The following tables summarize the credit quality indicators for outstanding student loans:


	June 30, 2024					December 31, 2023
(Dollars in thousands)	Number of Loans	Principal Amount		Accrued Interest		Number of Loans	Principal Amount		Accrued Interest
School	35	$	902	$	605	44	$	1,242	$	734
Grace	9	340		206		18	473		296
Repayment	433	20,920		294		444	20,833		289
Deferment	229	10,018		2,466		237	10,163		2,022
Forbearance	85	4,413		143		98	5,782		133
Total	791	$	36,593	$	3,714	841	$	38,493	$	3,474

School - The time in which the borrower is still actively in school at least half-time. No payments are expected during this stage, though the borrower may make payments during this time.

Grace - A six-month period of time granted upon graduation, or end of active-student status, during which payment is not required but interest continues to accrue. Upon completion of the six-month grace period, the loan is transferred to repayment status. This status may also represent an in-school borrower activated to military duty. The borrower must return to at least half-time status within six months of their active-duty end date to return to in-school status.

Repayment - The time in which the borrower is no longer attending school at least half-time, and has not received an approved grace, deferment, or forbearance. Regular payment is expected from these borrowers under an allotted payment plan.

Deferment - May be granted for up to 48 months for borrowers who have begun the repayment period on their loans but are either actively enrolled in an eligible school at least half-time or actively enrolled in an approved and verifiable medical residency, internship, or fellowship program.

Forbearance - The period of time during which the borrower may postpone making principal and interest payments due to either hardship or administrative reasons. Interest will continue to accrue on loans during periods of authorized forbearance and

Table of Contents

will be capitalized at the end of the forbearance period. If the borrower is delinquent at the time the forbearance is granted, unpaid interest and interest accrued during the delinquency will also be capitalized. Loan terms will not change as a result of forbearance and payment amounts may be increased to allow the loan to pay off in the required time frame. A forbearance that results in an insignificant delay in payment, is not considered a concessionary change in terms, provided the borrower affirms the obligation. Forbearance is not an uncommon status designation and is considered standard industry practice, consistent with the succession of students migrating from school to career. However, additional risk is associated with this designation.

Student Loan Aging

Student loans are generally charged off at the end of the quarter during which the account becomes 120 days contractually past due. Accrued but unpaid interest related to charged-off student loans is reversed and charged against interest income. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, $58,000 in accrued interest receivable was reversed, due to charge-offs of $781,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, $111,000 in accrued interest receivable was reversed, due to charge-offs of $985,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, $31,000 in accrued interest receivable was reversed, due to charge-offs of $386,000, and $83,000 in accrued interest receivable was reversed, due to charge-offs of $515,000, respectively.

The following table summarizes the student loan aging for loans in repayment and forbearance as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

At June 30, 2024, the Company’s available lines of credit totaled $722.6 million. All lines of credit are on an “as available” basis and can be revoked by the grantor at any time. These lines of credit have interest rates that are generally tied to the Federal Funds rate or are indexed to short-term U.S. Treasury rates or SOFR. At June 30, 2024, pledged collateral at the Federal Home Loan Bank consisted of $1.9 million in available-for-sale investment securities and $235.0 million in loan balances. Pledged collateral at the Federal Reserve Bank consisted of $3.9 million in available-for-sale investment securities and $625.0 million in loan balances. At December 31, 2023, $230.1 million in loans and $2.1 million in available-for-sale investment securities were pledged as collateral for FHLB advances. Additionally, $604.0 million in loans and $4.1 million in available-for-sale investment securities were pledged as collateral for advances at the Federal Reserve Bank.

7.Leases

The Company leases land and premises for its branch banking offices, administration facility, and ITMs. The initial terms of these leases expire at various dates through 2044. Under the provisions of most of these leases, the Company has the option to extend the leases beyond their original terms at rental rates adjusted to certain economic indices or market conditions. Lease terms may also include options for termination. Under guidance from Topic 842, the discount rate applied to the lease liability is calculated by determining the Bank’s incremental borrowing rate. Current rates for fully-secured loans with amounts and terms similar to the lease amount and term at inception are used to calculate the incremental borrowing rate. The liability is reduced at each reporting period based on the discounted present value of remaining payments. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had 13 operating leases and no financing leases.

The components of lease expense are as follows:

9.Dividends on and Repurchase of Common Stock

On June 25, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend was payable on July 23, 2024, to shareholders of record as of July 8, 2024. Approximately $2.1 million was transferred from retained earnings to dividends payable as of June 30, 2024, to allow for distribution of the dividend to shareholders.

The Company has a program to repurchase up to $3.0 million of its outstanding common stock. The timing of the purchases will depend on certain factors including, but not limited to, market conditions and prices, available funds, and alternative uses of capital. The stock repurchase program may be carried out through open-market purchases, block trades, or negotiated private transactions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, no shares have been repurchased.

11.Taxes on Income

The Company periodically reviews its tax positions under the accounting standards related to uncertainty in income taxes, which defines the criteria that an individual tax position would have to meet for some or all of the income tax benefit to be recognized in a taxable entity’s financial statements. Under the guidelines, an entity should recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position if it determines that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination. The term “more likely than not” means a likelihood of more than 50 percent. In assessing whether the more-likely-than-not criterion is met, the entity should assume that the tax position will be reviewed by the applicable taxing authority and all available information is known to the taxing authority.

The Company periodically evaluates its deferred tax assets to determine whether a valuation allowance is required based upon a determination that some or all of the deferred assets may not be ultimately realized. At June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had no recorded valuation allowance. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2019 and 2018 for Federal and California jurisdictions, respectively.

The Company’s policy is to recognize any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. There were no interest or penalties recognized on uncertain tax positions during the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

The Company reported a provision for income taxes of $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $4.3 million for the comparable period of 2023. The effective tax rate was 28.95% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 29.07% for the comparable period of 2023.

12.Junior Subordinated Debt/Trust Preferred Securities

The contractual principal balance of the Company’s debentures relating to its trust preferred securities is $12.0 million as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The Company may redeem the junior subordinated debentures at any time at par.

The Company accounts for its junior subordinated debt issued under USB Capital Trust II at fair value. The Company believes the election of fair value accounting for the junior subordinated debentures better reflects the true economic value of the debt instrument on the consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2024, the rate paid on the junior subordinated debt issued under USB Capital Trust II is the forward 3-month SOFR rate of 5.32% plus 129 basis points and is adjusted quarterly.

At June 30, 2024, the Company performed a fair value measurement analysis on its junior subordinated debt using a cash flow model approach to determine its present value. The cash flow model approach utilizes the forward three-month SOFR curve to estimate future quarterly interest payments due over the life of the debt instrument. Cash flows were discounted at a rate based on current market rates for similar-term debt instruments and adjusted for additional credit and liquidity risks associated with junior subordinated debt. The 6.45% discount rate used represents an investor’s yield based on current market assumptions. At June 30, 2024, the total cumulative gain recorded on the debt was $1.2 million.

Table of Contents

The following table provides detail on the Company’s junior subordinated debt/trust preferred securities:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Cumulative gain recorded	1,217			1,937			1,217			1,937
Discount rate	6.45		%	6.56		%	6.45		%	6.56		%

The net fair value calculation performed as of June 30, 2024, resulted in a net pretax loss adjustment of $244,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a net pretax gain adjustment of $205,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the net $244,000 fair value loss adjustment was separately presented as a $520,000 loss, ($366,000 net of tax) recognized on the consolidated statements of income, and a $275,000 gain, ($194,000 net of tax) associated with the instrument-specific credit risk recognized in other comprehensive income. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the net $205,000 fair value gain adjustment was separately presented as a $258,000 gain, ($182,000 net of tax) recognized on the consolidated statements of income, and a $53,000 loss, ($37,000 net of tax) associated with the instrument-specific credit risk recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company calculated the change in the discounted cash flows based on updated market credit spreads for the periods indicated.

13.Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure

The following summary disclosures are made in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC Topic 825 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which requires the disclosure of fair value information for both on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments where it is practicable to estimate that value.

GAAP guidance clarifies the definition of fair value, describes methods used to appropriately measure fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands fair value disclosure requirements. This guidance applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

•Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (as defined) for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

•Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and reflect the reporting entity’s assumptions regarding the pricing of an asset or liability by a market participant (including assumptions about risk).

The Company performs fair value measurements on certain assets and liabilities as the result of the application of current accounting guidelines. Some fair value measurements, such as those on investment securities and junior subordinated debt, are performed on a recurring basis, while others, such as evaluations of loans, other real estate owned, goodwill, and other intangibles, are performed on a nonrecurring basis.

•Level 1 financial assets consist of money market funds and highly liquid mutual funds for which fair values are based on quoted market prices.

•Level 2 financial assets include highly liquid debt instruments of U.S. government agencies, collateralized mortgage obligations, and debt obligations of states and political subdivisions, whose fair values are obtained from readily-available pricing sources for the identical or similar underlying security that may or may not be actively traded.

•Level 3 financial assets include certain instruments where the assumptions may be made by the Company or third parties about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company recognizes transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3 when a change in circumstances warrants a transfer. There were no transfers between fair value measurement classifications during the six months ended June 30, 2024, or the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis:

Investment Securities - Available-for-sale and marketable equity security values are based on open-market price quotes obtained from reputable third-party brokers. Market pricing is based upon specific CUSIP identification for each individual

security. To the extent there are observable prices in the market, the mid-point of the bid/ask price is used to determine the fair value of individual securities. If that data is not available for the last 30 days, a Level-2 type matrix-pricing approach, based on comparable securities in the market, is utilized. Level 2 pricing may include the use of a forward spread from the last observable trade or may use a proxy bond, such as a TBA mortgage, to determine the price for the security being valued. Changes in fair market value are recorded through other accumulated comprehensive income as an unrecognized gain or loss on fair value.

Individually-Evaluated Loans - Fair value measurements for individually-evaluated loans are performed pursuant to authoritative accounting guidance and are based upon either collateral values supported by third-party appraisals or observed market prices. Collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral. There were no individually-evaluated loans measured at fair value as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Other Real Estate Owned - Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third-party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized. No OREO properties were measured at fair value as of June 30, 2024, or December 31, 2023.

Junior Subordinated Debt - The fair value of the junior subordinated debt is based on a discounted cash flow model utilizing observable market rates and credit characteristics for similar debt instruments. In its analysis, the Company uses characteristics that market participants would generally use and considers factors specific to the liability and the principal, or most advantageous, market for the liability. Cash flows are discounted at a rate that incorporates a current market rate for similar-term debt instruments, adjusted for credit and liquidity risks associated with similar junior subordinated debt and circumstances unique to the Company. The Company believes that the subjective nature of these inputs, credit concerns in the capital markets, and inactivity in the trust preferred markets, limit the observability of market spreads, requiring the junior subordinated debt to be classified at a Level 3 fair value.

Management believes that the credit risk-adjusted spread utilized in the fair value measurement of the junior subordinated debentures is indicative of the nonperformance risk premium a willing market participant would require under current, inactive market conditions. Management attributes the change in fair value of the junior subordinated debentures to market changes in the nonperformance expectations and pricing of this type of debt. Generally, an increase in the credit risk-adjusted spread and/or a decrease in the forward three-month SOFR curve will result in a positive fair value adjustment and a decrease in the fair value measurement. Conversely, a decrease in the credit risk adjusted spread and/or an increase in the forward three-month SOFR curve will result in a negative fair value adjustment and an increase in the fair value measurement. The increase in discount rate between the periods ended June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, is primarily due to increases in rates for similar debt instruments.

16.Investment in York Monterey Properties

The Bank wholly owns the subsidiary, York Monterey Properties, Inc. (“Properties”), which is organized as a California corporation. The Bank capitalized the subsidiary through the transfer of eight unimproved lots at a historical cost of $5.3 million comprised of approximately 186.97 acres in the York Highlands subdivision of the Monterra Ranch residential development in Monterey County, California, together with cash contributions. The Bank transferred the properties to York Monterey Properties, Inc., to maintain ownership beyond the ten-year regulatory holding period applicable to a state bank. The Bank acquired five of the lots through a non-judicial foreclosure on or about May 29, 2009. In addition, the Bank purchased three of the lots from another bank. The Bank has continuously held the Properties from the date of foreclosure and acquisition until the time of transfer. At the time of transfer, the Properties had reached the end of the ten-year regulatory holding period limit.

At both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Bank’s investment in York Monterey Properties, Inc., totaled $5.0 million. York Monterey Properties, Inc., is included within the consolidated financial statements of the Company, with $4.6 of the total investment recognized within the balance of other real estate owned on the consolidated balance sheets.

17.Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk: The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks which arise in the normal course of business. These instruments, which may contain elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk, include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The credit risks associated with these instruments are essentially the same as those involved in extending credit to customers and are represented by the contractual amount indicated in the table below:


(In thousands)	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Commitments to extend credit	$	165,723	$	183,537
Standby letters of credit	$	1,670	$	2,940

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer, as long as conditions established in the contract have not been violated. These commitments are floating-rate instruments based on the current prime rate, and, in most cases, have fixed expiration dates. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis, and the amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but includes accounts receivable, inventory, leases, property, plant and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing properties. As many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent the future cash requirements of the Company.

Standby letters of credit are generally unsecured and are issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Company’s letters of credit are short-term guarantees and generally have terms from one month to three years. At June 30, 2024, the maximum potential amount of future undiscounted payments the Company could be required to make under outstanding standby letters of credit totaled $1.7 million.

The remaining unfunded commitments for the investment in limited partnership as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, totaled $600,000 and $800,000, respectively.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become involved in litigation arising out of its normal business activities. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from the disposition of such claims would not be material to the financial position of the Company.

Trends Affecting Results of Operations and Financial Position

The Company’s overall operations are impacted by a number of factors including not only interest rates and margin spreads, which impact the results of operations, but also the composition of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. One of the primary strategic goals of the Company is to maintain a mix of assets that will generate a reasonable rate of return without undue risk and to finance those assets with a low-cost and stable source of funds. Liquidity and capital resources must also be considered in the planning process to mitigate risk and allow for growth.

Since the Bank primarily conducts banking operations in California’s Central Valley, its operations and cash flows are subject to changes in the economic condition of the Central Valley. Business results are dependent in large part upon the business

Table of Contents

activity, population, income levels, deposits, and real estate activity in the Central Valley, and declines in economic conditions can have materially-adverse effects on the Bank. Due to the Central Valley’s economic dependence on agriculture, a downturn in agriculture and agricultural-related business could indirectly and adversely affect the Company as many borrowers and customers are involved in, or are to some extent impacted by, the agricultural industry. The agricultural industry has been affected by declines in prices and changes in yields of various crops and other agricultural commodities. Weaker prices could reduce the cash flows generated by farms and the value of agricultural land in our local markets and thereby increase the risk of default by our borrowers or reduce the foreclosure value of agricultural land and equipment that serve as collateral for our loans. Moreover, weaker prices might threaten farming operations in the Central Valley, reducing market demand for agricultural lending. In particular, farm income has seen recent declines, and in line with the downturn in farm income, farmland prices are coming under pressure. While most of our borrowers are not directly involved in agriculture, they would likely be impacted by downturns in the agricultural industry as many jobs in our market areas are ancillary to the regular production, processing, marketing, and sale of agricultural commodities. Despite the unusually wet winter experienced recently, the state of California has experienced severe droughts in the past which have resulted in water-allocation reductions for farmers in the Central Valley. Due to these uncertain water issues, the impact on businesses and consumers located in the Company’s market areas is not possible to predict or quantify. In response to drought conditions, the California state legislature passed the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act in 2014 with the goal of ensuring better local and regional management of groundwater use and sustainable groundwater management in California by 2042. Development, preparation, and implementation of the Groundwater Sustainability Plan began in 2020. The effects of this plan have yet to be determined.

The Company’s earnings are impacted by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies. The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) has a significant impact on the operating results of depository institutions through its power to implement national monetary policy, among other things, to curb inflation or combat a recession. The FRB affects the levels of bank loans, investments. and deposits through its control over the issuance of United States government securities, its regulation of the discount rate applicable to member banks, and its influence over reserve requirements to which member banks may be subject. While the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has indicated that interest rates will likely decrease during 2024, there were no rate decreases during the first six months of 2024. It is unknown what effects increases or decreases in the inflation rate and the recent banking turmoil, in conjunction with continued international instability, will have on FRB monetary policies.

The Company continually evaluates its strategic business plan as economic and market factors change in its market area. Managing the balance sheet, enhancing revenue sources, attracting and retaining deposit customers, and maintaining market share will continue to be of primary importance.

Results of Operations

On a year-to-date basis, the Company reported net income of $8.5 million, or $0.49 per share ($0.49 diluted), for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $10.5 million, or $0.62 per share ($0.62 diluted), for the same period in 2023. The Company’s annualized return on average assets was 1.42% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 1.68% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s annualized return on average equity was 13.64% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 19.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in the return on average assets is primarily attributable to increases in deposit and short-term borrowing costs and decreases in average assets. The decrease in the return on average equity is primarily due to a decrease in net income and an increase in average equity.

The prime rate increased from 8.25% at June 30, 2023, to 8.50% at June 30, 2024. Future increases or decreases will affect both interest income and expense and the resultant net interest margin.

Both net interest income and net interest margin are affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume change. Both are also affected by changes in yields on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as rate change. The following table sets forth the changes in interest income and interest expense for each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the amount of change attributable to volume and rate changes for the periods indicated.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, total interest income decreased $114,000, or 0.8%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. In comparing the two periods, average interest-earning assets decreased $70.0 million, with a decrease of $31.1 million in average loan balances and a decrease of $42.1 million in average investment securities balances, offset by an increase of $3.1 million in average balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank. The decrease in average loan balances is attributed primarily to decreases in the real estate construction and development portfolio and installment portfolio, offset by increases in the residential mortgage portfolio, commercial and industrial portfolio, and the agriculture portfolio. Loan yields increased 24 basis points and investment securities yields increased 27 basis points. The average yield on total interest-earning assets increased 31 basis points. The increase in yields is a result of the increases in loan yields and investment securities yields, offset by decreases in yields on overnight deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, total interest income increased $205,000, or 0.69%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. In comparing the two periods, average interest-earning assets decreased $74.3 million, with a decrease of $38.2 million in average loan balances, a decrease of $38.2 million in average investment securities balances, offset by an increase of $429,000 in average balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank. The decrease in average loan balances is attributed primarily to decreases in the real estate construction and development portfolio and installment portfolio, offset by increases in the residential mortgage portfolio, agriculture portfolio, and commercial and industrial portfolio. Loan yields increased 32 basis points and investment securities yields increased 23 basis points. The average yield on total interest-earning assets increased 38 basis points. The increase in yields is a result of the increases in loan yields, increases in investment securities yields, and increases in yields on overnight deposits related to the increase in the Fed Funds rate.

The overall average yield on the loan portfolio increased to 5.99% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 5.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2024, 29.4% of the Company’s loan portfolio consisted of floating rate instruments, as compared to 31.7% of the portfolio at December 31, 2023, with the majority of those tied to the prime rate. Approximately 58.8%, or $164.0 million, of the floating-rate loans had rate floors at June 30, 2024.

The Company’s net interest margin decreased to 4.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 4.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net interest margin decreased primarily as a result of increases in deposit and short-term borrowing costs, offset by increases in yields on interest-earning assets. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased from 5.16% to 5.54%. Yields on average interest-bearing liabilities increased from 1.16% to 1.89%.

While deposit rates have increased, the Company’s disciplined deposit pricing efforts have helped keep the Company’s cost of funds relatively low. The rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased to 1.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 1.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, total interest expense increased approximately $2.4 million, or 57.7%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Between those two periods, average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $26.3 million due to decreases in NOW and money market accounts and savings accounts, partially offset by increases in time deposits and short-term borrowings. The Company may purchase brokered deposits as an additional source of funding. At June 30, 2024, the Company held $50.0 million in brokered deposits. At December 31, 2023, the Company held no brokered deposits.

Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, increased $506,000 to $1.5 million compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The change in fair value of junior subordinated debentures caused a $225,000 loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to a $75,000 loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, resulting in a difference of $150,000. The change in the fair value of junior subordinated debentures was caused by fluctuations in the SOFR yield curve. A gain on proceeds from life insurance of $573,000 was recorded during the quarter. Customer service fees decreased $49,000 between the two quarters primarily due to decreases in ATM and cash advance fees. Other noninterest income increased due to increases in miscellaneous income.

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased $111,000 to $2.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The change in fair value of junior subordinated debentures caused a $520,000 loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a $258,000 gain for the six months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in a difference of $778,000. The change in the fair value of junior subordinated debentures was caused by fluctuations in the SOFR yield curve. Customer service fees decreased $77,000 between the two periods primarily due to decreases in ATM fees. Other noninterest income increased due to increases in miscellaneous income. Included in the increase in miscellaneous income is an increase of $110,000 in FHLB dividends.

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, increased $766,000 to $7.0 million, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributed to increases in professional fees and salaries and employee benefits, and was partially offset by decreases in regulatory assessments, correspondent bank service charges, and data processing expenses. The Company has nearly completed the outsourcing of virtually all its information technology services to improve the security and effectiveness of its operations, which has also contributed to the increase in professional fees. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was caused by increases in salary expenses, 401(k) expenses, and stock compensation expense.

Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased $1.3 million to $13.7 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributed to increases in professional fees and salaries and employee benefits, and was partially offset by decreases in occupancy expense, data processing, regulatory assessment, and net cost of operation of OREO. Professional fees increased primarily due to increases in service contract expenses related to recently outsourced information technology services. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was caused by increases in salary expenses, 401(k) expenses, and stock compensation expense.

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense is impacted to some degree by permanent taxable differences between income reported for book purposes and income reported for tax purposes, as well as certain tax credits which are not reflected in the Company’s pretax income or loss shown in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. As pretax income or loss amounts become smaller, the impact of these differences becomes more significant and are reflected as variances in the Company’s effective tax rate for the periods presented. In general, the permanent differences and tax credits affecting tax expense have a positive impact and tend to reduce the effective tax rates shown in the Company’s statements of income and comprehensive income.

The Company reviews its current tax positions at least quarterly based on the accounting standards related to uncertainty in income taxes. These standards identify the individual tax position criteria that would have to be met to recognize an income tax benefit on a taxable entity’s financial statements. Under the income tax guidelines, an entity should recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position if it determines that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination. The term “more likely than not” means a likelihood of more than 50 percent. In assessing whether the more likely than not criterion is met, the entity should assume that the tax position will be reviewed by the applicable taxing authority.

The Company has reviewed all of its tax positions as of June 30, 2024, and has determined that there are no material additional amounts to be recorded under the current income tax accounting guidelines.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was 28.95% compared to 29.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Net loans decreased on a year-over-year basis due to loan payoffs and paydowns. Net loans increased during the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to organic loan growth. Investment securities decreased on a year-over-year and year-to-date basis due to repayments of principal and maturities. Deposits decreased on a year-over-year basis due to decreases in non-interest-bearing deposits and increased year-to-date due to increases in time deposits and NOW and money market accounts, partially offset by decreases in non-interest bearing deposits and savings accounts. Total deposits at June 30, 2024 include $50.0 million in brokered deposits purchased during the second quarter of 2024. The balances in overnight interest-bearing deposits in the Federal Reserve Bank and federal funds sold decreased on a year-over-year basis due to decreases in deposit balances. Short-term borrowings totaled $63.0 million at June 30, 2024, and $100.6 million June 30, 2023.

Earning assets averaged $1.08 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.16 billion for the same period in 2023. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to $704.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $730.4 million for the comparative period of 2023.

Loans

The Company’s primary business is that of acquiring deposits and making loans, with the loan portfolio representing the largest and most important component of earning assets. Loans totaled $949.4 million at June 30, 2024, an increase of $29.4 million, or 3.2%, when compared to the balance of $920.0 million at December 31, 2023, and a decrease of $10.7 million, or 1.1%, when compared to the balance of $960.1 million reported at June 30, 2023.

The real estate mortgage loan portfolio, totaling $694.3 million at June 30, 2024, consists of commercial real estate, residential mortgages, and home equity loans. Commercial real estate loans have remained a significant percentage of total loans over the past year, amounting to 46.6%, 42.0%, and 42.0% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023, respectively. Commercial real estate balances increased to $442.2 million at June 30, 2024, from $386.1 million at December 31, 2023. Commercial real estate loans are generally a mix of short- to medium-term, fixed- and floating-rate instruments and are mainly secured by commercial income and multi-family residential properties.

Residential mortgage loans are generally 30-year amortizing loans with an average life of nine to 11 years. These loans totaled $252.1 million, or 26.6%, of the portfolio at June 30, 2024, $260.5 million, or 28.3%, of the portfolio at December 31, 2023, and $265.9 million, or 27.7%, of the portfolio at June 30, 2023. Included in the residential mortgage portfolio are purchased home-mortgage loan pools with aggregate balances of $226.6 million, comprising 89.9% of the total residential mortgage portfolio at June 30, 2024. These loans were purchased in whole-loan form, in several pools, during 2021 and 2022. Dovenmuehle Mortgage, Inc., (DMI) is the third-party sub-servicer for the Company’s purchased residential mortgage portfolio. DMI’s services include administration, Company-approved modification, escrow management, monitoring, and collection. DMI is paid a monthly servicing fee based primarily upon the number of loans being serviced which, at June 30, 2024, totaled 251.

Real estate construction and development loans, representing 10.8%, 13.9%, and 14.1% of total loans at June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023, respectively, consisted of loans for residential and commercial construction projects, as well as land acquisition and development, and land held for future development. Loans in this category are secured by real estate, including improved and unimproved land, as well as single-family residential, multi-family residential, and commercial properties in various stages of completion. All real estate loans have established equity requirements. Repayment on construction loans generally comes from long-term mortgages with other lending institutions obtained at the completion of the project or from the sale of the constructed homes to individuals.

Commercial and industrial loans increased $5.6 million between December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2024, and increased $6.0 million between June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2024. Agricultural loans increased $3.8 million between December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2024, and decreased $4.1 million between June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2024. Installment loans decreased $2.1 million between December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2024, and decreased $4.9 million between June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2024, primarily due to decreases in student loan balances.

Included in installment loans are $36.6 million in unsecured student loans made to medical and pharmacy school students in the US and Caribbean, all of which are exclusively US citizens. Student loans decreased $4.8 million between the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, due to paydowns, consolidations with other lenders, and charge-offs. The outstanding balance of loans for students who are in school or in a grace period and have not entered repayment status totaled $1.2 million at June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2024, there were 747 loans within repayment, deferment, and forbearance which represented $20.9 million, $10.0 million, and $4.4 million in outstanding balances, respectively. Student loans have not been originated or purchased since 2019.

Repayment of the unsecured student loans is premised on the medical and pharmacy students graduating and becoming high-income earners. Under program guidelines, repayment terms can vary per borrower; however, repayment occurs on average within 10 to 20 years. Additional repayment capacity is provided by non-student, co-borrowers for roughly one-third of the portfolio. The average student loan balance per borrower as of June 30, 2024, was approximately $110,300. At June 30, 2023, the average balance per borrower was approximately $104,000. Loan interest rates are variable and currently range from 6.00% to 13.125%.

ZuntaFi is the third-party servicer for the student loan portfolio. ZuntaFi’s services include application administration, processing, approval, documenting, funding, collection, and borrower file custodial responsibilities. Except in cases where applicants/loans do not meet program requirements or extreme delinquency, ZuntaFi is responsible for complete program management. ZuntaFi is paid a monthly servicing fee based on the outstanding principal balance.

The Company classifies student loans delinquent more than 90 days as substandard. As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, reserves against the student loan portfolio totaled $6.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, $58,000 in accrued interest receivable was reversed, due to charge-offs of $781,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, $111,000 in accrued interest receivable was reversed, due to charge-offs of $985,000.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses

Lending money is the Company’s principal business activity, and ensuring appropriate evaluation, diversification, and control of credit risks is a primary management responsibility. Losses are implicit in lending activities and the amount of such losses will vary, depending on the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio as affected by local economic conditions and the financial experience of borrowers.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), effective January 1, 2023, and utilizes a current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology which relies on segmenting the loan portfolio into pools with similar risks, tracking the performance of the pools over time, and using the data to determine pool loss experience. The allowance for credit losses on most loans is measured on a collective (pool) basis for loans with similar characteristics. The Company estimates the appropriate level of allowance for credit losses for collateral-dependent loans by evaluating them separately. The Company also uses the CECL model to calculate the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as undrawn amounts on lines of credit. While the allowance for credit losses on loans is reported as a contra-asset for loans, the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposure is reported as a liability.

Nonperforming assets, which are primarily related to the real estate loan and other-real-estate-owned portfolio, increased $844,000 from $16.5 million at December 31, 2023, to $17.3 million at June 30, 2024. Nonaccrual loan balances increased to $12.1 million between the two periods. All nonaccrual loans are well-collateralized and in the process of collection.

The following table summarizes the nonaccrual totals by loan category for the periods shown:

Agricultural	20		45		(25)

Total nonaccrual loans	$	12,100	$	11,448	$	652

Loans past due more than 30 days receive increased management attention and are monitored for increased risk. The Company continues to move past-due loans to nonaccrual status in an ongoing effort to recognize and address loan problems as early and most effectively as possible and appropriate. As individually-evaluated loans, nonaccrual, and modified loans are reviewed for specific reserve allocations, the allowance for credit losses is adjusted accordingly.

Table of Contents

Except for nonaccrual and individually-evaluated loans, there were no loans at June 30, 2024, where the known credit problems of a borrower caused the Company to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrower to comply with loan repayment terms.

Nonaccrual loans, totaling $12.1 million at June 30, 2024, increased $652,000 from $11.4 million at December 31, 2023, with real estate construction loans comprising 99.8% of total nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2024. In determining the adequacy of the underlying collateral related to these loans, management monitors trends within specific geographical areas, loan-to-value ratios, appraisals, and other credit-related issues. Nonaccrual loans represented 1.27% of total loans at June 30, 2024 and 1.24% at December 31, 2023. The loan allowance for credit loss represented 126.64% and 136.77%, respectively, of nonaccrual loans for the same periods.

Other real estate owned through foreclosure remained at $4.6 million for the periods ended June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased from 1.36% at December 31, 2023, to 1.42% at June 30, 2024.

Management continues to monitor economic conditions in the real estate market for signs of deterioration or improvement which may impact the level of the allowance for credit losses required to cover identified and potential losses in the loan portfolio. Focus has been placed on monitoring and reducing the level of problem assets.

The following table summarizes special mention loans by type as of:


(In thousands)	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Commercial and industrial	$	421	$	—

Commercial real estate mortgage	5,726		5,796




Agricultural	2,994		2,974

Total special mention loans	$	9,141	$	8,770

The Company remains focused on competition and other economic conditions within its market area which may ultimately affect the risk assessment of the portfolio. The Company continues to experience increased competition from major banks, local independents, and non-bank institutions, which creates pressure on loan pricing. Increased emphasis has been placed on reducing both the level of nonperforming assets and potential losses on the disposition of those assets. It is in the best interest of both the Company and the borrowers to seek alternative options to foreclosure to reduce the impacts on the real estate market. As part of this strategy, the Company enters into loan modifications when it improves collection prospects. Management recognizes the increased risk of loss due to the Company’s exposure to local and worldwide economic conditions, as well as potentially volatile real estate markets, and takes these factors into consideration when analyzing the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.

(1) There was a reversal of provision of $103,000 for unfunded loan commitments made during the six months ended June 30, 2024. There was a provision of $135,000 for unfunded loan commitments made during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Provisions for credit losses are determined based on management’s periodic credit review of the loan portfolio, consideration of past loan loss experience, expected losses within the portfolio, current and future economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. Management believes its estimate of the allowance for credit losses adequately covers estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio and, based on the condition of the loan portfolio, management believes the allowance is sufficient to cover risk elements in the loan portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, a $306,000 provision was recorded to the allowance for credit losses as compared to a $463,000 provision for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Net charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2024, totaled $641,000 as compared to net charge-offs of $902,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company charged-off or had partial charge-offs on 14 loans during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 24 loans during the same period ended June 30, 2023. The annualized percentage of net charge-offs to average loans was 0.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, 0.25% for the year ended December 31, 2023, and 0.19% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s loans, net of unearned fees, decreased from $960.1 million at June 30, 2023, to $949.4 million at June 30, 2024.

The allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2024, was 1.61% of outstanding loan balances, as compared to 1.70% at December 31, 2023, and 1.68% at June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, unfunded loan commitment reserves of $732,000 and $935,000, respectively, were reported in other liabilities.

Management believes that the loan allowance for credit losses, totaling 1.61% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2024, is adequate to absorb both known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. No assurance can be given, however, regarding future economic conditions, or other circumstances, which may adversely affect the Company’s service areas and result in losses in the loan portfolio not captured by the current allowance for credit losses. Management is not currently aware of any conditions that may adversely affect the levels of losses incurred in the Company’s loan portfolio.

The Company’s asset/liability management, liquidity strategy, and capital planning are guided by policies formulated and monitored by the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) and Management, to provide adequate liquidity and maintain an appropriate balance between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities.

Liquidity

Liquidity management may be described as the ability to maintain sufficient cash flows to fulfill both on- and off-balance sheet financial obligations, including loan funding commitments and customer deposit withdrawals, without straining the Company’s equity structure. To maintain an adequate liquidity position, the Company relies on, in addition to cash and cash equivalents, cash inflows from deposits and short-term borrowings, repayments of principal on loans and investments, and interest income received. The Company’s principal cash outflows are for loan originations, purchases of investment securities, depositor withdrawals, and payment of operating expenses.

The Company’s liquid asset base, which generally consists of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, and investment securities, is maintained at levels deemed sufficient to provide the cash necessary to fund loan growth, unfunded loan commitments, and deposit runoff. Included in this framework is the objective of maximizing the yield on earning assets. This is generally achieved by maintaining a high percentage of earning assets in loans and investment securities, which typically provide higher yields than cash balances.

The following table sets forth asset balances as of:


	June 30, 2024				December 31, 2023
(Dollars in thousands)	Balance		% Total Assets		Balance		% Total Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	38,757	3.2	%	$	40,784	3.4	%

Unpledged investment securities	80,858		6.6	%	98,394		8.1	%

At June 30, 2024, the loan-to-deposit ratio was 94.3%, compared to a loan-to-deposit ratio of 91.6% at December 31, 2023.

Liabilities used to fund liquidity sources include core and non-core deposits as well as short-term borrowing capabilities. Core deposits, which comprised approximately 92.2% of total deposits at June 30, 2024, provide a significant and stable funding source for the Company. The bank held $40.0 million in borrowings from a secured credit line with the Federal Home Loan Bank and $23.0 million in borrowings from an unsecured credit line with PCBB for a total of $63.0 million in short-term borrowings at June 30, 2024. Unused lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB, totaling $659.6 million, were collateralized by investment securities and certain qualifying loans in the Company’s portfolio. The carrying value of loans pledged on these borrowing lines totaled $860.0 million at June 30, 2024. For further detail on the Company’s borrowing arrangements, see “Note 6 - Short-term Borrowings/Other Borrowings” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The period-end balances of cash and cash equivalents for the periods shown are as follows (from Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows):


(In thousands)	Balance
December 31, 2022	$	38,595

June 30, 2024	38,757

Capital and Dividends

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board of Governors”). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandates and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that include quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital levels and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators regarding components, risk weightings, and other factors.

The Company’s capital plan includes guidelines and trigger points designed to ensure sufficient capital is maintained at both the Bank and Company levels. Capital ratios are maintained at a level deemed appropriate under regulatory guidelines given the Bank’s level of classified assets, concentrations of credit, allowance for credit losses, current and projected growth, and projected retained earnings. The capital plan contains contingency strategies to obtain additional capital as required to fulfill future capital requirements for both the Bank, as a separate legal entity, and the Company, on a consolidated basis. The capital plan requires the Bank to maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio equal to or greater than 9%. The Bank’s Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 12.67% and 11.18% at June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital positions at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Capital Ratios:


	June 30, 2024	December 31, 2023	Minimum Requirement to be Well Capitalized	Minimum requirement for CBLR (1)









Tier 1 capital to adjusted average assets (Leverage Ratio)
Company	12.71%	11.82%	5.00%	9.00%
Bank	12.67%	11.83%	5.00%	9.00%

(1) If the Bank’s Leverage Ratio exceeds the minimum ratio under the Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework (CBLR), it is deemed to be “well capitalized” under all other regulatory capital requirements. If the Bank’s leverage ratio falls below the minimum required, it would no longer be eligible to elect the use of the CBLR framework.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. Management believes that, under the current regulations, both the Company and the Bank will continue to meet their minimum capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

Dividends

Dividends paid to shareholders by the Holding Company are subject to restrictions set forth under the California General Corporation Law. As applicable to the Holding Company, the California General Corporation Law provides that the Holding Company may make a distribution to its shareholders if either retained earnings immediately prior to the dividend payout are at least equal to the amount of the proposed distribution or, proceeding the distribution, the value of the Holding Company’s assets would equal or exceed the sum of its total liabilities. The primary source of funds for dividends paid to shareholders is cash dividends received by the Holding Company from the Bank.

On April 25, 2017, the Board of Directors announced the authorization of the repurchase of up to $3.0 million of the outstanding stock of the Holding Company. This amount represents 2.4% of total shareholders’ equity of $127.4 million at June 30, 2024. The timing of the purchases will depend on certain factors including, but not limited to, market conditions and prices, available funds, and alternative uses of capital. The stock repurchase program may be carried out through open-market purchases, block trades, or negotiated private transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any of the shares available.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Bank paid $4.3 million in cash dividends to the Holding Company which funded the Holding Company’s operating costs, payments of interest on its junior subordinated debt, and dividend payments to shareholders.

On June 25, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend was payable on July 23, 2024, to shareholders of record as of July 8, 2024. Approximately $2.1 million was transferred from retained earnings to dividends payable to allow for the distribution of the dividend to shareholders.

The Bank, as a state-chartered bank, is subject to dividend restrictions set forth in the California Financial Code, as administered by the Commissioner of the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (the “Commissioner”). As applicable to the Bank, the Financial Code provides that the Bank may not pay cash dividends in an amount that exceeds the lesser of the retained earnings of the Bank or the Bank’s net income for the last three fiscal years less the amount of distributions to the Holding Company during that period of time. If the above test is not met, cash dividends may only be paid with the prior approval of the Commissioner, in an amount not exceeding the Bank’s net income for its last fiscal year or the amount of its net income for the current fiscal year. Such restrictions do not apply to stock dividends, which generally require neither the satisfaction of any tests nor the approval of the Commissioner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commissioner finds that the shareholders’ equity of the Bank is not adequate or that the declaration of a dividend would be unsafe or unsound, the Commissioner may order the Bank not to pay any dividend. The Federal Reserve Bank may also limit dividends paid by the Bank.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and executed, can provide only reasonable assurance that desired control objectives will be achieved. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of controls and procedures.

As of June 30, 2024, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures was carried out under the supervision and participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. Based on the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes made to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and executed, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure will be met. Because of these inherent limitations in control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur due to simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of a person, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions or deterioration in the degrees of compliance with policies and/or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
