Note 1.  Basis of Presentation
 
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Central Valley Community Bancorp and subsidiary have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Central Valley Community Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary Central Valley Community Bank (the Bank) (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six-month interim periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
     The preparation of these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     Management has determined that since all of the banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Bank, all branches are located within the same economic environment, and management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, it is appropriate to aggregate the Bank branches and report them as a single operating segment. No customer accounts for more than 10 percent of revenues for the Company or the Bank.

Impact of New Financial Accounting Standards:

FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13 - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Subtopic 326): Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, commonly referred to as “CECL,” was issued June 2016. The provisions of the update eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold under current GAAP which requires reserves to be based on an incurred loss methodology. Under CECL, reserves required for financial assets measured at amortized cost will reflect an organization’s estimate of all expected credit losses over the contractual term of the financial asset and thereby require the use of reasonable and supportable forecasts to estimate future credit losses. Because CECL encompasses all financial assets carried at amortized cost, the requirement that reserves be established based on an organization’s reasonable and supportable estimate of expected credit losses extends to held to maturity (“HTM”) debt securities. Under the provisions of the update, credit losses recognized on available for sale (“AFS”) debt securities will be presented as an allowance as opposed to a write-down. In addition, CECL will modify the accounting for purchased loans, with credit deterioration since origination, so that reserves are established at the date of acquisition for purchased loans. Under current GAAP a purchased loan’s contractual balance is adjusted to fair value through a credit discount and no reserve is recorded on the purchased loan upon acquisition. Since under CECL, reserves will be established for purchased loans at the time of acquisition, the accounting for purchased loans is made more comparable to the accounting for originated loans. Finally, increased disclosure requirements under CECL require organizations to present the currently required credit quality disclosures disaggregated by the year of origination or vintage. The FASB expects that the evaluation of underwriting standards and credit quality trends by financial statement users will be enhanced with the additional vintage disclosures. On August 15, 2019, the FASB issued a proposed Accounting Standards Update (ASU), “Financial Instruments -Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates,” that would provide private entities and certain small public companies additional time to implement the standards on CECL, leases, and hedging. The final ASU extends the effective date for SEC filers, such as the Company, that are classified as smaller reporting companies to January 1, 2023.

    The Company has formed an internal task force that is responsible for oversight of the Company’s implementation strategy for compliance with provisions of the new standard. The Company has also established a project management governance process to manage the implementation across affected disciplines. An external provider specializing in community bank loss driver and CECL reserving model design as well as other related consulting services has been retained, and we have begun to evaluate potential CECL modeling alternatives. As part of this process, the Company has determined potential loan pool segmentation and sub-segmentation under CECL, as well as begun to evaluate the key economic loss drivers for each segment. Further, the Company has begun developing internal controls around the CECL process, data, calculations and implementation. The Company presently plans to generate and evaluate model scenarios under CECL in tandem with its current reserving processes for interim and annual reporting periods during 2022 due to the fact the Company elected to delay

implementation of the CECL process as allowed by FASB. While the Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting this new guidance, management expects the impact of adoption will be significantly influenced by the composition and quality of the Company’s loans as well as the economic conditions as of the date of adoption. The Company also anticipates changes to the processes and procedures for calculating the reserve for credit losses and continues to evaluate the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements.

    FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Subtopic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, was issued March 2020. This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is in the process of evaluating the provisions of this ASU and its effects on our consolidated financial statements. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance on activities subsequent to June 30, 2021 through December 31, 2022 will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

    In April 2020, various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“the agencies”) issued a revised interagency statement encouraging financial institutions to work with customers affected by COVID-19 and providing additional information regarding loan modifications. The revised interagency statement clarifies the interaction between the interagency statement issued on March 22, 2020 and the temporary relief provided by Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. Section 4013 allows financial institutions to suspend the requirements to classify certain loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). The revised statement also provides supervisory interpretations on past due and nonaccrual regulatory reporting of loan modification programs and regulatory capital. This interagency guidance is expected to reduce the number of TDRs that will be reported in future periods; however, the amount is indeterminable and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.


Note 2.  Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair Value Hierarchy
 
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 — Quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments traded in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 —Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Management monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, we report the transfer at the beginning of the reporting period. The estimated carrying and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows (in thousands):

These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument for sale at one time, nor do they attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business related to the instruments.  In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates.
These estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market data and information about the financial instruments.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding 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 fair values presented.
    The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other banks, and Federal funds sold approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

(b) Investment Securities — Investment securities in Level 1 are mutual funds and fair values are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Fair values for investment securities classified in Level 2 are based on quoted market prices for similar securities in active markets. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators.

(c) Loans — Fair values of loans are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Purchased credit
11


impaired (PCI) loans are measured at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition. Carrying value is calculated as the present value of expected cash flows and approximates fair value and included in Level 3. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are initially valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses. For collateral dependent real estate loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. The estimated fair values of financial instruments disclosed above follow the guidance in ASU 2016-01 which prescribes an “exit price” approach in estimating and disclosing fair value of financial instruments incorporating discounts for credit, liquidity, and marketability factors.

(d) FHLB Stock — It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

(e) Deposits — Fair value of demand deposit, savings, and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. Fair value for fixed and variable rate certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates offered at each reporting date by the Company for certificates with similar remaining maturities resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(f) Subordinated Debentures — The fair values of the Company’s Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

(g) Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable — The fair value of accrued interest receivable and payable is based on the fair value hierarchy of the related asset or liability.

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

    Management evaluates the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, no transfers between levels occurred.
There were no Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at or during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Also there were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2021.

Non-recurring Basis
 
    The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These include assets and liabilities that are measured at the lower of cost or fair value that were recognized at
fair value which was below cost at June 30, 2021.

    At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses. For collateral dependent real estate loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. The fair value of impaired loans is based on the fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans were determined to be collateral dependent and categorized as Level 3 due to ongoing real estate market conditions resulting in inactive market data, which in turn required the use of unobservable inputs and assumptions in fair value measurements. Impaired loans evaluated under the discounted cash flow method are excluded from the table above. The discounted cash flow methods as prescribed by ASC Topic 310 is not a fair value measurement since the discount rate utilized is the loan’s effective interest rate which is not a market rate. There were no changes in valuation techniques used during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
    Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value is compared with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. As of June 30, 2021, there were no loans measured using the fair value of the collateral for the collateral dependent loans.
    There were no charge-offs related to loans carried at fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Activity related to changes in the allowance for loan losses related to impaired loans for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was not considered significant for disclosure purposes. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2021.

     The Company periodically evaluates each investment security for other-than-temporary impairment, relying primarily on industry analyst reports, observation of market conditions, and interest rate fluctuations.  The portion of the impairment that is attributable to a shortage in the present value of expected future cash flows relative to the amortized cost should be recorded as a current period charge to earnings.  The discount rate in this analysis is the original yield expected at time of purchase.
     As of June 30, 2021, the Company performed an analysis of the investment portfolio to determine whether any of the investments held in the portfolio had an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). The Company evaluated all individual available-for-sale investment securities with an unrealized loss at June 30, 2021 and identified those that had an unrealized loss for at least a consecutive 12 month period, which had an unrealized loss at June 30, 2021 greater than 10% of the recorded book value on that date, or which had an unrealized loss of more than $75,000.  The Company also analyzed any securities that may have been downgraded by credit rating agencies. 
    For those investment securities that met the evaluation criteria, management obtained and reviewed the most recently published national credit ratings for those investment securities.  There were no OTTI losses recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

U.S. Treasury Securities

At June 30, 2021, the Company held two U.S. Treasury securities of which one security was in a loss position for less than 12 months. The unrealized loss on the Company’s investment in direct obligations of U.S. Treasury securities is associated with the general fluctuation of market interest rates and are not an indication of any deterioration in the credit quality of the security issuer. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized costs of the investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell, those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be the maturity date, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021.

U.S. Government Agencies

    At June 30, 2021, the Company held one U.S. Government agency security which was in a gain position.

Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions
 
    At June 30, 2021, the Company held 122 obligations of states and political subdivision securities of which 16 were in a loss position for less than 12 months. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in obligations of states and political subdivision securities were caused by interest rate changes. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021.
 
U.S. Government Sponsored Entities and Agencies Collateralized by Residential Mortgage Obligations
 
    At June 30, 2021, the Company held 115 U.S. Government sponsored entity and agency securities collateralized by residential mortgage obligations of which eight were in a loss position for less than 12 months and 11 have been in a loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage obligations were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed or supported by an agency or sponsored entity of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability to hold and does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021.
 
Private Label Mortgage and Asset Backed Securities
 
    At June 30, 2021, the Company had a total of 49 Private Label Mortgage and Asset Backed Securities (PLMABS). 18 of the PLMABS securities were in a loss position for less than 12 months and two have been in loss for more than 12 months at June 30, 2021. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell, those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be the maturity date, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021. The Company continues to monitor these securities for indications that declines in value, if any, may be other-than-temporary.

Corporate Debt Securities
 
    At June 30, 2021, the Company held 14 corporate debt securities of which five were in a loss position for less than 12 months. The unrealized loss on the Company’s investments in corporate debt security was caused by interest rate changes. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021.

Allowance for Credit Losses

    The allowance for credit losses (the “Allowance”) is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. The Allowance is established through a provision for credit losses which is charged to expense. Additions to the Allowance are expected to maintain the adequacy of the total Allowance after credit losses and loan growth. Credit exposures determined to be uncollectible are charged against the Allowance. Cash received on previously charged-off credits is recorded as a recovery to the Allowance. The overall Allowance consists of two primary components, specific reserves related to impaired loans and general reserves for probable incurred losses related to loans that are not impaired.
    For all portfolio segments, the determination of the general reserve for loans that are not impaired is based on estimates made by management, including but not limited to, consideration of historical losses by portfolio segment (and in certain cases peer data) over the most recent 50 quarters, and qualitative factors including economic trends in the Company’s service areas, industry experience and trends, geographic concentrations, estimated collateral values, the Company’s underwriting policies, the character of the loan portfolio, and probable losses inherent in the portfolio taken as a whole.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:
    As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has a recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings of $6,504,000 and $7,908,000, respectively. The Company has allocated $515,000 and $20,000 of specific reserves to loans whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
    During the six months ended June 30, 2021, one loan was modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan or an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. During the same period, there were no troubled debt restructurings in which the amount of principal or accrued interest owed from the borrower was forgiven or which resulted in a charge-off or change to the allowance for loan losses.
26


As discussed in Note 1 to these financial statements, Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised) provided banks an option to elect to not account for certain loan modifications related to COVID-19 as TDRs as long as the borrowers were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 or at the time of modification program implementation, respectively, and the borrowers meet other applicable criteria. The remaining TDRs disclosed below were not related to COVID-19 modifications. The Company executed loan deferrals on outstanding balances of approximately $1.37 million resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic that were not classified as a TDRs at June 30, 2021.

    The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2021 (in thousands):
Troubled Debt Restructurings: Number of Loans Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment (1) Principal Modification (2) Post Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment (3) Outstanding Recorded Investment
Real Estate:

(1)Amounts represent the recorded investment in loans before recognizing effects of the Troubled Debt Restructurings, if any.
(2)Principal modification includes principal forgiveness at the time of modification, contingent principal forgiveness granted over the life of the loan based on borrower performance, and principal that has been legally separated and deferred to the end of the loan, with zero percent contractual interest rate.
(3)Balance outstanding after principal modification, if any borrower reduction to recorded investment.

    The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2020 (in thousands):

Total $ 13,775  $ —  $ 13,775  $ 10,500 

During the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, no loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were no defaults on troubled debt restructurings, within twelve months following the modification, during the six months ended and three months ended June 30, 2021 or June 30, 2020.

Note 5. Goodwill

Business combinations involving the Company’s acquisition of the equity interests or net assets of another enterprise give rise to goodwill.  Total goodwill at June 30, 2021, was $53,777,000 consisting of $8,934,000, $14,643,000, $6,340,000, $10,394,000, and $13,466,000 representing the excess of the cost of Bank of Madera County, Service 1st Bancorp, Visalia Community Bank, Sierra Vista Bank, and Folsom Lake Bank, respectively, over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transactions accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.  The value of goodwill is ultimately derived from the Company’s ability to generate net earnings after the acquisitions and is not deductible for tax purposes. A significant decline in net earnings, among other factors, could be indicative of a decline in the fair value of goodwill and result in impairment.  For that reason, goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment. The Company’s annual goodwill test is completed as of September 30 each year.
Goodwill is also tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company below its carrying amount. No such events or circumstances arose during the first six months of 2021.

27


Note 6. Borrowing Arrangements

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of San Francisco advances.
    Approximately $447,170,000 in loans were pledged under a blanket lien as collateral to the FHLB for the Bank’s remaining borrowing capacity of $245,311,000 as of June 30, 2021. FHLB advances are also secured by investment securities with amortized costs totaling $151,000 and $169,000 and market values totaling $159,000 and $178,000 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  The Bank’s credit limit varies according to the amount and composition of the investment and loan portfolios pledged as collateral. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020 the Company had no Federal funds purchased.



Note 7.  Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk - In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for loans.
    Commitments to extend credit amounting to $316,702,000 and $326,179,000 were outstanding at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract unless waived by the Bank. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.
     Included in commitments to extend credit are undisbursed lines of credit totaling $306,144,000 and $314,774,000 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  Undisbursed lines of credit include credits whereby customers can repay principal and request principal advances during the term of the loan at their discretion and most expire between one and 12 months.
     Included in undisbursed lines of credit are commitments for the undisbursed portions of construction loans totaling $52,007,000 and $79,669,000 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These commitments are agreements to lend to customers, subject to meeting certain construction progress requirements established in the contracts. The underlying construction loans have fixed expiration dates.
     Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees amounting to $10,558,000 and $11,405,000 were outstanding at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private financial arrangements. Most standby letters of credit and guarantees carry a one year term or less. The fair value of the liability related to these standby letters of credit, which represents the fees received for their issuance, was not significant at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.  The Company recognizes these fees as revenue over the term of the commitment or when the commitment is used.
    The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Management does not anticipate any material loss will result from the outstanding commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance of a contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations was $250,000. The contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations is calculated by management using an appropriate, systematic, and consistently applied process.  While related to credit losses, this allocation is not a part of the allowance for credit losses and is considered separately as a liability for accounting and regulatory reporting purposes, and is included in Other Liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet.
    In 2018, the Company sold its credit card portfolio to a third party vendor. Part of the sale of the portfolio was to provide a guarantee of certain accounts which as of June 30, 2021, the total guarantee was $2,475,000.
     The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company.

Note 8. Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share (EPS), which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options or restricted stock awards, result in the
28


issuance of common stock which shares in the earnings of the Company.  A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows:
Basic Earnings Per Share For the Three Months
Ended June 30,
For the Six Months
Ended June 30,
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts) 2021 2020 2021 2020

Diluted earnings per share $ 0.60  $ 0.18  $ 1.20  $ 0.71 

        No outstanding options or restricted stock awards were anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Note 9.  Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company has four share-based compensation plans as described below. Share-based compensation cost recognized for those plans was $210,000 and $248,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The recognized tax expense (benefits) for the share-based compensation expense, forfeitures of restricted stock, and exercise of stock options, resulted in the recognition of $46,000 and $72,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
     The Central Valley Community Bancorp 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2005 Plan) was adopted in May 2005 and expired March 16, 2015. While outstanding arrangements to issue shares under this plan, including options, continue in force until their expiration, no new options will be granted under this plan.
    The Central Valley Community Bancorp 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2015 Plan) was adopted in May 2015. In October 2017, the Company assumed the Folsom Lake Bank 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (2007 Plan). The plans provide for awards in the form of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock. Both plans allow for performance awards that may be in the form of cash or shares of the Company, including restricted stock. Outstanding arrangements to issue shares under this plan including options, will continue in force until expiration according to their respective terms.
    Effective June 2, 2017, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) whereby our employees may purchase Company common stock through payroll deductions of between one percent and 15 percent of pay in each pay period. Shares are purchased at the end of each of the three-month offering periods at a 10 percent discount from the lower of the closing market price on the Offering Date (first trading day of each offering period) or the Investment Date (last trading day of each offering period). The Company reserved 500,000 common shares to be set aside for the ESPP, and there were 450,257 shares available for future purchase under the plan as of June 30, 2021.

    The Company bases the fair value of the options granted on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model that uses assumptions based on expected option life and the level of estimated forfeitures, expected stock volatility, risk free interest rate, and dividend yield.  The expected term and level of estimated forfeitures of the Company’s options are based on the Company’s own historical experience.  Stock volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock.  The risk-free rate is based on the U. S. Treasury yield curve for the periods within the contractual life of the options in effect at the time of grant.  The compensation cost for options granted is based on the weighted average grant date fair value per share.
     No options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Restricted and Performance Common Stock Awards

    The 2015 Plan provides for the issuance of restricted common stock to directors and officers. In addition, performance awards may be granted in the form of cash or shares. Restricted common stock grants typically vest over a one to five-year period. Restricted common stock (all of which are shares of our common stock) is subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. The cost of these awards is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of the grant.
    The following table summarizes restricted stock and performance award activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as follows: 
  Shares Weighted
Average
Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested outstanding shares at December 31, 2020 30,013  $ 15.60 
Granted 31,496  $ 18.83 
Vested (30,834) $ 15.18 
Forfeited (247) $ 20.26 
Nonvested outstanding shares at June 30, 2021 30,428  $ 19.33 

    The shares awarded to employees and directors under the restricted stock agreements vest on applicable vesting dates only to the extent the recipient of the shares is then an employee or a director of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and each recipient will forfeit all of the shares that have not vested on the date his or her employment or service is terminated. Performance common stock awards vest immediately.
        As of June 30, 2021, there were 30,428 shares of restricted stock that are nonvested and expected to vest. As of June 30, 2021, there was $458,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted common stock awards.  Restricted stock compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 1.72 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. Restricted common stock awards had an intrinsic value of $2,880,000 at June 30, 2021.

OVERVIEW

Central Valley Community Bancorp (Company)
 
We are a central California-based bank holding company for a one-bank subsidiary, Central Valley Community Bank (Bank).  We provide traditional commercial banking services to small and medium-sized businesses and individuals in the communities along the Highway 99 corridor in the Fresno, El Dorado, Madera, Merced, Placer, Sacramento, Stanislaus, San Joaquin, and Tulare Counties of central California. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the Federal Reserve Bank.
 
Central Valley Community Bank (Bank)
 
The Bank commenced operations in January 1980 as a state-chartered bank.  As a state-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to primary supervision, examination and regulation by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI).  The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to the applicable limits thereof, and the Bank is subject to supervision, examination and regulations of the FDIC.
    The Bank is a member of the FDIC, which currently insures customer deposits in each member bank to a maximum of $250,000 per depositor.  For this insurance, the Bank is subject to the rules and regulations of the FDIC, and, as is the case with all insured banks, may be required to pay a quarterly statutory assessment.
    The Bank operates 20 full-service branches which serve the communities of Cameron Park, Clovis, Exeter, Folsom, Fresno, Gold River, Kerman, Lodi, Madera, Merced, Modesto, Oakhurst, Prather, Roseville, Sacramento, Stockton, and Visalia, California.  Additionally the Bank operates Real Estate, Agribusiness and SBA departments that originate loans in California. According to the June 30, 2020 FDIC data, the Bank’s branches in Fresno, Madera, San Joaquin, and Tulare Counties had a 3.40% combined deposit market share of all insured depositories. Our total market share in the other counties we operate in (El Dorado, Merced, Placer, Sacramento, and Stanislaus Counties), was less than 1.00% in 2020.

Dividend Declared

On July 21, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a $0.12 per share cash dividend payable on August 20, 2021 to shareholders of record as of August 6, 2021.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the local economy in the San Joaquin Valley and greater Sacramento area. Federal, State and local shelter-in-place recommendations were enacted in our markets in March 2020, causing many businesses to close and workers to be furloughed or lose jobs. Essential purpose entities such as medical professionals, food and agricultural businesses, and transportation and logistical businesses were exempted from the closures; however, unemployment rates are increasing in our local market area as compared to the prior quarter end.
    The Company is closely monitoring the effects of the pandemic on our loan and deposit customers. Our management team is focused on assessing the risks in our loan portfolio and working with our customers to minimize our losses. While some industry segments are being more impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic than others, we believe that our credit risk related to the loans outstanding to customers in the higher risk categories is well managed. This is primarily due to the existence of SBA and other loan guarantee programs, personal guarantees, and adequate collateralization.
    Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout. Most notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law at the end of March 2020 as a $2 trillion legislative package. The CARES Act provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a Troubled Debt Restructuring pursuant to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Pursuant to these new capabilities, we have implemented a loan program to allow customers who may be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to defer loan principal and interest payments for up to 90 days.
    The CARES Act established a $349 billion loan program administered through the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”), referred to as the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). Under the PPP, small businesses, sole proprietorships, independent contractors, and self-employed individuals may apply for loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders that enroll in the program, subject to numerous limitations and eligibility criteria. After the initial $349 billion in funds for the PPP was exhausted, an additional $310 billion in funding for PPP loans was authorized. As a preferred SBA lender, we are participating in the PPP to help provide loans to our business customers to provide them with additional working capital. The Company has worked diligently with the SBA to qualify clients to receive PPP loans. PPP borrowers who can demonstrate that the funding received has been used for certain purposes such as to cover payroll and rent costs and meet certain other requirements, can qualify for partial or full federal relief on loan principal and interest.
32


Nonqualifying borrowers or borrowers who have not applied for forgiveness, who received loans under the CARES Act, are contractually obligated to begin making monthly repayments on principal and interest six months after their loans have funded.
On January 13, 2021, the SBA reopened the PPP for second draw loans to small businesses and non-profit organizations that did receive a loan through the initial PPP phase. At least $25 billion has been set aside for second draw PPP loans to eligible borrowers with a maximum of 10 employees or for loans of $250,000 or less to eligible borrowers in low or moderate income neighborhoods. Generally speaking, businesses with more than 300 employees and/or less than a 25% reduction in gross receipts between comparable quarters in 2019 and 2020 are not eligible for second draw loans. Further, maximum loan amounts have been increased for accommodation and food service businesses. As of June 30, 2021 we have received approximately 512 applications totaling $78 million.
The federal bank regulatory agencies, along with their state counterparts, have issued guidance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and have taken a number of unprecedented steps to help banks navigate the pandemic and mitigate its impact. These include, without limitation: requiring banks to focus on business continuity and pandemic planning; adding pandemic scenarios to stress testing; encouraging bank use of capital buffers and reserves in lending programs; permitting certain regulatory reporting extensions; reducing margin requirements on swaps; permitting certain otherwise prohibited investments in investment funds; issuing guidance to encourage banks to work with customers affected by the pandemic and encourage loan workouts; and providing credit under the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) for certain pandemic related loans, investments and public service. Moreover, because of the need for social distancing measures, the agencies revamped the manner in which they conducted periodic examinations of their regular institutions, including making greater use of off-site reviews. The Federal Reserve also issued guidance encouraging banking institutions to utilize its discount window for loans and intraday credit extended by its Reserve Banks to help households and businesses impacted by the pandemic and announced numerous funding facilities. The FDIC has also acted to mitigate the deposit insurance assessment effects of participating in the PPP and the Federal Reserve’s PPP Liquidity Facility and Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility.
    Management is closely monitoring credit metrics. Additional resources have been shifted to credit administration to closely analyze higher risk segments within the loan portfolio, monitor and track loan payment deferrals and customer liquidity, and provide timely reporting to management and the board of directors. The management team continues to analyze economic conditions in our geographic markets and perform stress testing of our investment portfolio as well as our loan portfolio. Based on the Company’s capital levels, conservative underwriting policies, low loan-to-deposit ratio, loan concentration diversification, and suburban geographical marketplace, management expects to be able to manage the economic risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and remain adequately capitalized.

Capital and liquidity

While the Company believes that it has sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by COVID-19, its reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by further credit losses. The Company relies on cash on hand as well as dividends from its subsidiary bank to service its debt. If the Company’s capital deteriorates such that its subsidiary bank is unable to pay dividends to it for an extended period of time, the Company may not be able to service its debt.
    The Company maintains access to multiple sources of liquidity. Wholesale funding markets have remained open to us, but rates for short term funding have recently been volatile. If funding costs are elevated for an extended period of time, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s net interest margin. If an extended recession caused large numbers of the Company’s deposit customers to withdraw their funds, the Company might become more reliant on volatile or more expensive sources of funding.

Asset valuation

Currently, the Company does not expect COVID-19 to affect its ability to account timely for the assets on its balance sheet; however, this could change in future periods. While certain valuation assumptions and judgments will change to account for pandemic-related circumstances such as widening credit spreads, the Company does not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with GAAP.
    COVID-19 could cause a further and sustained decline in the Company’s stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform a goodwill impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that the Company concludes that all or a portion of its goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital. Management considered the COVID-19 related economic downturn to be such a triggering event and therefore performed qualitative assessments at the end of the first, second and fourth quarters of 2020. Given the continued economic impact of the pandemic, management determined it appropriate to perform a quantitative test as of September 30, 2020. Management engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist with the performance of the quantitative goodwill impairment test in the third quarter of 2020. Based on this quantitative test, it was determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value as of September 30, 2020.
33


    
Processes, controls and business continuity plan

The Company has invoked its Board approved Pandemic Preparedness Plan that includes a remote working strategy. The Company does not anticipate incurring additional material cost related to its continued deployment of the remote working strategy. No material operational or internal control challenges or risks have been identified to date. The Company does not anticipate significant challenges to its ability to maintain its systems and controls in light of the measures the Company has taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Company does not currently face any material resource constraint through the implementation of its business continuity plans.

Lending operations and accommodations to borrowers

In keeping with regulatory guidance to work with borrowers during this unprecedented situation and as outlined in the CARES Act, the Company is executing a payment deferral program for its borrowing clients that are adversely affected by the pandemic. Depending on the demonstrated need of the client, the Company is deferring either the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment for up to 90 days. As of June 30, 2021, based on the Bank’s discussion with these customers, loan customers with deferred payments of principal, interest, or both on loans totaling approximately $1.4 million were outstanding. In accordance with interagency guidance issued in March 2020 and Section 4013 of the Cares Act, these short-term deferrals are not considered troubled debt restructurings.
    With the passage of the PPP administered by the SBA, the Company is actively participating in assisting its customers with applications for resources through the program. PPP loans have a two-year term and earn interest at 1%. The Company believes that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company closed 1,601 PPP loans representing $295,644,000 in funding. It is the Company’s understanding that loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. Should those circumstances change, the Company could be required to establish additional allowance for credit losses through additional provision for credit losses charged to earnings.

Credit

The Company is working with customers directly affected by COVID-19. The Company is prepared to offer short-term assistance in accordance with regulatory guidelines. As a result of the current economic environment caused by COVID-19, the Company is engaging in more frequent communication with borrowers to better understand their situation and the challenges faced, allowing it to respond proactively as needs and issues arise. Should economic conditions worsen, the Company could experience further increases in its required allowance for credit losses and record additional provisions for credit losses. It is possible that the Company’s asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

Second Quarter of 2021

For the second quarter of 2021, our consolidated net income was $7,563,000 compared to $2,301,000 for the same period in 2020. Diluted EPS was $0.60 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0.18 for the same period in 2020. The increase in net income during the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 is primarily driven by a decrease in provision for credit losses of $4,500,000, an increase in net interest income of $2,507,000, and an increase in non-interest income of $32,000, partially offset by an increase in total non-interest expenses of $132,000, and an increase in the provision for income taxes of $1,645,000. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $1,500,000 reversal of provision for credit losses, compared to a $3,000,000 provision during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Throughout 2020 and the first six months of of 2021, we adjusted the economic risk factor methodology to incorporate the current economic implications from the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) decreased to 3.60% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to 3.79% for the same period in 2020. The net interest margin period-to-period comparisons were impacted by the decrease in the yield on the average investment securities, offset by the increase in the yield on the loan portfolio, the increase in the effective yield on interest earning deposits in other banks and Federal Funds sold, and the decrease in the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities. The effective yield on average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, decreased to 2.11% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 2.37% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The effective yield on average loans increased to 5.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 4.71% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the loan yield was impacted by Company’s issuance of PPP loans. Total average PPP loans, which have an annual interest rate of 1.00%, were $158,490,000 and $160,392,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The cost of deposits (calculated by dividing annualized interest
34


expense on interest bearing deposits by total deposits), decreased to 0.05% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to 0.10% for the same period in 2020. 
    Non-interest income increased $32,000 or 1.56% to $2,077,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $2,045,000 for the same period in 2020, primarily driven by an increase in interchange fees of $164,000, an increase in service charge income of $20,000, and a increase in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) dividends of $8,000, offset by a decrease of $88,000 in other income, a decrease in loan placement fees of $51,000, and a decrease of $21,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities. Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 increased $132,000 or 1.15% from the comparable period due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, data processing, occupancy and equipment, personnel, regulatory assessments, appraisal fees, alarm monitoring, operating losses, information technology expenses, tax provision, postage, donations, education and training, armored courier fees, telephone expenses, loan related expenses, and ATM/debit card expenses, partially offset by decreases in professional services, internet banking expenses, risk management expenses, advertising, stationery and supplies, directors’ expenses, check printing, mileage and travel, and amortization of software.
    Annualized return on average equity (ROE) for the second quarter of 2021 increased to 12.25% compared to 4.14% for the same period in 2020. The increase in ROE reflects the increase in net income, as well as the increase in average shareholders’ equity compared to the prior year. Annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 1.36% and 0.51% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Total average equity increased to $246,959,000 for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $222,479,000 for the second quarter of 2020. The Company declared and paid $0.12 per share in cash dividends to holders of common stock during the second quarter of 2021, compared to $0.11 in dividends declared and paid during the second quarter of 2020.
    Our average total assets increased $413,767,000 or 22.81% to $2,227,632,000 during the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.  Total average interest-earning assets increased $393,188,000 or 23.62% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020.  Total average loans, including nonaccrual loans, increased $3,217,000 or 0.30% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Average total investments and interest-earning deposits in other banks increased $391,002,000 or 66.35% in the period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.  Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $251,149,000 or 31.06% in the period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 18.61% to $893,441,000 in 2021 compared to $753,265,000 in 2020.  The ratio of average non-interest bearing demand deposits to average total deposits was 45.86% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 48.39% in 2020.

First Six Months of 2021

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our consolidated net income was $15,042,000 compared to $8,924,000 for the same period in 2020.  Diluted EPS was $1.20 for the first six months of 2021 compared to $0.71 for the first six months of 2020.  Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 increased 68.56%, compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in net interest income, an increase in loan placement fees, a decrease in non-interest expense, and a decrease in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by a decrease in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, a decrease in service charge income, and an increase in provision for income taxes. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses increased $4,033,000 or 12.76%.  Net interest income during the first six months of 2021 and 2020 benefited by approximately $434,000 and $453,000, respectively, in nonrecurring income from prepayment penalties. Excluding these benefits, net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021, decreased by $4,570,000 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. Non-interest income decreased $4,512,000 or 52.54%, and non-interest expense decreased $559,000 or 2.37% in the first six months ended of 2021 compared to first six months ended of 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a reversal of provision for credit losses of $3,300,000 compared to $4,375,000 provision during same period in 2020. Net recoveries of previously charged-off loans totaling $824,000 and $432,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Annualized return on average equity for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased to 12.21% compared to 7.92% for the same period in 2020.  The increase in ROE reflects the increase in net income, notwithstanding the increase in average shareholders’ equity compared to the prior year. Annualized return on average assets was 1.39% and 1.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  Total average equity was $246,439,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $225,240,000 for the same period in 2020.  The change in shareholders’ equity was driven by the retention of earnings, net of dividends paid, the decrease in net unrealized gains on available-for-sale (AFS) securities, and share repurchases.
Our average total assets increased $460,232,000 or 26.98% in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.  Total average interest-earning assets increased $441,383,000 or 28.39% comparing the first six months of 2021 to the same period in 2020.  Average total loans, including nonaccrual loans, increased $79,727,000 or 7.97% comparing the first six months of 2021 to the same period in 2020. The effective yield on average loans decreased to 5.11% for the six months June 30, 2021, compared to 5.13% for the six months June 30, 2020. Total average PPP loans, which yield 1.00%,
35


were $169,553,000 and $80,196,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Excluding PPP loans from total average loans, the effective yield on average loans for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 4.99% and 5.42%, respectively. Average total investments (securities and interest-earning deposits) increased $363,326,000, or 65.41% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, with average interest-bearing liabilities decreasing $242,059,000 or 31.07% on a period to period comparison.
Our net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) for the first six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased to 3.67% compared to 4.11% for the same period in 2020. The decrease in net interest margin in the period-to-period comparison resulted primarily from a decrease in the effective yield on the Company’s average investment securities, the decrease in the yield on the loan portfolio, and the decrease in the effective yield on interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, partially offset by the decrease in the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities.  The effective yield on interest-earning assets decreased 49 basis points to 3.73% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to 4.22% for the same period in 2020. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, the effective yield on investment securities, including Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits in other banks, decreased 48 basis points, compared to the same period in the prior year, and the effective yield on loans decreased 2 basis points. The cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 12 basis points to 0.11% compared to 0.23% for the same period in 2020.  The cost of total deposits, including noninterest bearing accounts decreased to 0.06% compared to 0.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Net interest income before the reversal of provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $35,636,000 compared to $31,603,000 for the same period in 2020, an increase of $4,033,000 or 12.76%.  Net interest income increased as a result of yield changes, asset mix changes, and an increase in interest-bearing liabilities, offset by an increase in average earning assets. The Bank recovered $434,000 and $453,000, of foregone interest income and prepaid payment penalties in 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Bank had non-accrual loans totaling $2,035,000 at June 30, 2021, compared to $3,278,000 at December 31, 2020 and $2,406,000 at June 30, 2020.  The Company had no other real estate owned or repossessed assets at June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, or June 30, 2020.
At June 30, 2021, we had total net loans of $1,059,506,000, total assets of $2,280,550,000, total deposits of $1,979,094,000, and shareholders’ equity of $251,049,000.

Key Factors in Evaluating Financial Condition and Operating Performance
 
As a publicly traded community bank holding company, we focus on several key factors including:
 
·                                          Return to our shareholders;
·                                          Return on average assets;
·                                          Development of revenue streams, including net interest income and non-interest income;
·                                          Asset quality;
·                                          Asset growth;
·                                          Capital adequacy;
·                                          Operating efficiency; and
·                                          Liquidity
 
Return to Our Shareholders
 
Our return to shareholders is determined in a ratio that measures the return on average equity (ROE).  ROE is a ratio that measures net income divided by average shareholders’ equity. Our annualized ROE was 12.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 8.85% for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 7.92% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $6,118,000 or 68.56% to $15,042,000 compared to $8,924,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in net interest income, a decrease in non-interest expenses, a reversal of the provision for credit losses, and an increase in loan placement fees, offset by a decrease in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, an increase in provision for income taxes, and a decrease in service charge income. Net interest margin (NIM) decreased 44 basis points for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.  Diluted EPS was $1.20 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $0.71 for the same period in 2020.

Return on Average Assets
 
Our return on average assets (ROA) is a ratio that we use to compare our performance with other banks and bank holding companies.  Our annualized ROA for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 1.39% compared to 1.11% for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 1.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The increase in ROA for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2020 was due to the increase in net income, notwithstanding the increase in average assets.  Average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $2,166,196,000 compared to $1,832,987,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020.  Median ROA for our peer group was 1.06% for the year ended December 31, 2020.  Peer group data from S&P Global Market Intelligence includes bank holding companies in central California with assets from $1 billion to $3.5 billion.

Development of Revenue Streams
 
Over the past several years, we have focused on not only improving net income, but improving the consistency of our revenue streams in order to create more predictable future earnings and reduce the effect of changes in our operating environment on our net income.  Specifically, we have focused on net interest income through a variety of processes, including increases in average interest earning assets, and minimizing the effects of the recent interest rate changes on our net interest margin.  The Company’s net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) decreased to 3.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 4.11% for the same period in 2020.  The decrease in net interest margin in the period-over-period comparison resulted primarily from the decrease in the effective yield on average investment securities (including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold), and a decrease in the yield on the Company’s loan portfolio. Interest-bearing liabilities continue to benefit from low interest rates. In comparing the two periods ending June 30, 2021 and 2020, the effective yield on total earning assets decreased 49 basis points, while the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 12 basis points and the cost of total deposits decreased to 0.06% compared to 0.11%.  Net interest income before the reversal of provision for credit losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was $35,636,000 compared to $31,603,000 for the same period in 2020.
    Our non-interest income generally consists of service charges and fees on deposit accounts, fee income from loan placements and other services, appreciation in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, net gains from sales of investment securities, FHLB dividends, and other income. Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $4,512,000 or 52.54%, to $4,076,000 compared to $8,588,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The decrease resulted primarily from decreases in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, service charge income, gain related to the collection of life insurance proceeds, and FHLB dividends; offset by increases in loan placement fees, and interchange fees, compared to the comparable 2020 period. Further detail of non-interest income is provided below.
 
Asset Quality
 
For all banks and bank holding companies, asset quality has a significant impact on the overall financial condition and results of operations.  Asset quality is measured in terms of percentage of total loans and total assets and is a key element in estimating the future earnings of a company.  Total nonperforming assets were $2,035,000 and $3,278,000 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  Nonperforming assets totaled 0.19% of gross loans as of June 30, 2021 and 0.30% of gross loans as of December 31, 2020. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.09% as of June 30, 2021 and 0.16% as of December 31, 2020. The nonperforming assets at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of nonaccrual loans of $2,035,000 and $3,278,000, respectively. The Company had no other real estate owned (OREO) or repossessed assets at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. Management maintains certain loans that have been brought current by the borrower (less than 30 days delinquent) on nonaccrual status until such time as management has determined that the loans are likely to remain current in future periods. 
    The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of outstanding loan balance was 0.98% as of June 30, 2021 and 1.17% as of December 31, 2020. The ratio of net charge-off (recovery) to average loans was (0.15)% as of June 30, 2021 and (0.05)% as of December 31, 2020.
 
Asset Growth
 
As revenues from both net interest income and non-interest income are a function of asset size, the growth in assets has a direct impact in increasing net income and therefore ROE and ROA.  The majority of our assets are loans and investment securities, and the majority of our liabilities are deposits, and therefore the ability to generate deposits as a funding source for loans and investments is fundamental to our asset growth.  Total assets increased by $276,454,000 or 13.79% during the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $2,280,550,000 compared to $2,004,096,000 as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to the Company’s participation in the PPP.  Total gross loans decreased by 2.94% or $32,402,000 to $1,069,945,000 as of June 30, 2021 compared to $1,102,347,000 as of December 31, 2020.  The gross loan decrease consisted of a decrease of $83,414,000 in the PPP loans, offset by an increase of $51,012,000 in non-PPP loan growth.Total deposits increased 14.88% to $1,979,094,000 as
37


of June 30, 2021 compared to $1,722,710,000 as of December 31, 2020. The Company’s deposit balances for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased through organic growth and PPP loan proceeds retained in customer deposit accounts. Our loan-to-deposit ratio at June 30, 2021 was 54.06% compared to 63.99% at December 31, 2020.  The loan-to-deposit ratio of our peers was 80.00% at December 31, 2020.  Further discussion of loans and deposits is below.
 
Capital Adequacy
 
Capital serves as a source of funds and helps protect depositors and shareholders against potential losses.  The Company has historically maintained substantial levels of capital.  The assessment of capital adequacy is dependent on several factors including asset quality, earnings trends, liquidity and economic conditions.  Maintenance of adequate capital levels is integral to providing stability to the Company.  The Company needs to maintain substantial levels of regulatory capital to give it flexibility in the changing regulatory environment and to respond to changes in the market and economic conditions including acquisition opportunities.
    The Company and the Bank are each subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements may cause certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative and qualitative measures. These measures were established by bank regulatory agencies to ensure capital adequacy. As of August 30, 2018, bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $3 billion and banks like Central Valley Community Bank became subject to new capital requirements, and certain provisions of the new rules were phased in through 2019 under the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III. As of June 30, 2021, the Bank met or exceeded all regulatory capital requirements inclusive of the capital buffer. The Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the regulatory guidelines for a well-capitalized financial institution under the Basel III regulatory requirements at June 30, 2021. The Company’s regulatory capital ratios are presented in the table in the “Capital” section below.

Operating Efficiency
 
Operating efficiency is the measure of how efficiently earnings before provision for credit losses and taxes are generated as a percentage of revenue.  When measuring operating efficiency, a lower ratio is more favorable.  The Company’s efficiency ratio (operating expenses, excluding amortization of intangibles and foreclosed property expense, divided by net interest income before provision for credit losses (computed on a tax equivalent basis) plus non-interest income, excluding gains and losses from sales of securities and OREO, and gains related to the collection of life insurance proceeds) was 55.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 65.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The improvement in the efficiency ratio was due to the growth in non-interest income along with the decrease in non-interest expense. Further discussion of the change in net interest income and decrease in operating expenses is below.
    The Company’s net interest income before provision for credit losses on a non tax-equivalent basis plus non-interest income, net of investment securities related gains, increased 13.36% to $40,516,000 for the first six months of 2021 compared to $35,740,000 for the same period in 2020, while operating expenses, net of losses on sale of assets, and amortization of core deposit intangibles, decreased 2.41% to $22,671,000 from $23,230,000 for the same period in 2020.
 
Liquidity
 
Liquidity management involves the Bank’s ability to meet cash flow requirements arising from fluctuations in deposit levels and demands of daily operations, which include providing for customers’ credit needs, funding of securities purchases, and ongoing repayment of borrowings.  Our liquidity is actively managed on a daily basis and reviewed periodically by our management and Directors’ Asset/Liability Committee.  This process is intended to ensure the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet our funding needs, including adequate cash flow for off-balance sheet commitments.  Our primary sources of liquidity are derived from financing activities which include the acceptance of customer and, to a lesser extent, broker deposits, Federal funds facilities and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”).  We have available unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks totaling approximately $110,000,000 and secured borrowing lines of approximately $245,311,000 with the FHLB.  These funding sources are augmented by collection of principal and interest on loans, the routine maturities and pay downs of securities from our investment securities portfolio, the stability of our core deposits, and the ability to sell investment securities.  Primary uses of funds include origination and purchases of loans, withdrawals of and interest payments on deposits, purchases of investment securities, and payment of operating expenses.
We had liquid assets (cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other banks, Federal funds sold, available-for-sale securities, and equity securities) totaling $1,080,604,000 or 47.38% of total assets at June 30, 2021 and $788,004,000 or 39.32% of total assets as of December 31, 2020.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Net Income for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
 
Net income increased to $15,042,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $8,924,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  Basic and diluted earnings per share for June 30, 2021 were $1.20 and $1.20, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2020 were $0.71 and $0.71, respectively. Annualized ROE was 12.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 7.92% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  Annualized ROA for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 1.39% and 1.05%, respectively.
    The increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily driven by an increase in net interest income, a decrease in non-interest expense, a reversal of provision for credit losses, and an increase in loan placement fees, partially offset by a decrease in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, an increase in provision for income taxes, and a decrease in service charge income. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $3,300,000 reversal of provision for credit losses, compared to a $4,375,000 provision during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The reversal of provision to the allowance for credit losses resulted from our assessment of the overall adequacy of the allowance for credit losses considering a number of factors as discussed in the “Allowance for Credit Losses” section. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company adjusted the economic risk factor methodology to incorporate the current economic implications from the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Interest Income and Expense
 
Net interest income is the most significant component of our income from operations.  Net interest income (the “interest rate spread”) is the difference between the gross interest and fees earned on the loan and investment portfolios and the interest paid on deposits and other borrowings.  Net interest income depends on the volume of and interest rate earned on interest earning assets and the volume of and interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
    The following table sets forth a summary of average balances with corresponding interest income and interest expense as well as average yield and cost information for the periods presented.  Average balances are derived from daily balances, and nonaccrual loans are not included as interest earning assets for purposes of this table.

Interest and fee income from loans increased $1,823,000 or 7.15% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Net interest income during the first six months of 2021 was positively impacted by an increase in average total loans of $78,057,000 or 7.81% to $1,077,455,000 compared to $999,398,000 for the same period in 2020. The yield on average loans, excluding nonaccrual loans, was 5.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 5.13% for the same period in 2020. Net interest income for the period ending June 30, 2021 was benefited by approximately $434,000 in nonrecurring income from prepayment penalties, compared to $453,000 recorded in the same period in 2020.  The impact to interest income from the accretion of the loan marks on acquired loans was $349,000 and $867,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The remaining balance of accretable loan marks on acquired loans as of June 30, 2021 was $2,247,000.
    Interest income from total investments on a non tax-equivalent basis (total investments include investment securities, Federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits in other banks, and other securities) increased $1,889,000 in the first six months of 2021 to $8,881,000 compared to $6,992,000 for the same period in 2020.  The yield on average total investments (total securities and interest-earning deposits) decreased 48 basis points to 2.09% for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2.57% for the same period in 2020. Average total securities and interest-earning deposits for the first six months of 2021 increased $363,326,000 or 65.41% to $918,823,000 compared to $555,497,000 for the same period in 2020.  Income from investments represents 24.92% of net interest income for the first six months of 2021 compared to 22.12% for the same period in 2020.
    In an effort to increase yields, without accepting unreasonable risk, a significant portion of the investment portfolio is mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs).  At June 30, 2021, we held $407,823,000 or 42.82% of the total fair value of the investment portfolio in CMOs with an average yield of 1.57% as compared to $299,806,000 and $254,338,000 with average yields of 2.15% and 2.57% at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively.  We invest in CMOs and MBS as part of our overall strategy to increase our net interest margin.  CMOs and MBS by their nature react to changes in interest rates.  In a normal declining rate environment, prepayments from CMOs and MBS would be expected to increase and the expected life of the investment would be expected to shorten.  Conversely, if interest rates increase, prepayments normally would be expected to decline and the average life of the CMOs and MBS would be expected to extend.  However, in the current economic environment, prepayments may not behave according to historical norms.  Premium amortization and discount accretion of these investments affects our net interest income.  Management monitors the prepayment speed of these investments and adjusts premium amortization and discount accretion based on several factors.  These factors include the type of investment, the investment structure, interest rates, interest rates on new mortgage
41


loans, expectation of interest rate changes, current economic conditions, the level of principal remaining on the bond, the bond coupon rate, the bond origination date, and volume of available bonds in market.  The calculation of premium amortization and discount accretion represents management’s reasonable estimate of principal pay downs inherent in the total investment portfolio.
    The net-of-tax unrealized gain on the investment portfolio was $12,874,000 at June 30, 2021 and is reflected in the Company’s equity.  At June 30, 2021, the average life of the investment portfolio was 5.22 years and the fair value of the portfolio reflected a net pre-tax unrealized gain of $18,278,000.  Management reviews fair value declines on individual investment securities to determine whether they represent an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for more detail. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, no OTTI was recorded.  Additional deterioration in the market values of our investment securities, if any, may require the Company to recognize OTTI losses in future periods.
    A component of the Company’s strategic plan has been to use its investment portfolio to offset, in part, its interest rate risk relating to variable rate loans.  At June 30, 2021, we estimate an immediate rate increase of 200 basis points would result in an estimated decrease in the market value of the investment portfolio by approximately $106,000,000 or 10.25%.  Conversely, with an immediate rate decrease of 200 basis points, the estimated increase in the market value of the investment portfolio would be $107,000,000 or 10.35%.  Our modeling environment assumes management would take no action during an immediate shock of 200 basis points.  However, the Company uses those increments to measure its interest rate risk in accordance with regulatory requirements and risk tolerance policy limits established by the Board of Directors to measure the possible future risk in the investment portfolio. 
    Management’s review of all investments before purchase includes an analysis of how the security will perform under several interest rate scenarios to monitor whether investments are consistent with our investment policy.  The policy addresses issues of average life, duration, concentration guidelines, prohibited investments, impairment, and prohibited practices.
    Total interest income on a non-tax equivalent basis for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $3,712,000 or 11.43% to $36,202,000 compared to $32,490,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The yield on interest earning assets decreased 49 basis points to 3.73% on a fully tax equivalent basis for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 4.22% for the period ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was the result of yield changes, decrease in interest rates, and asset mix changes. Average interest earning assets increased to $1,996,278,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1,554,895,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The $441,383,000 increase in average earning assets was attributed to the $363,326,000 increase in average investments and a $78,057,000 or 7.81% increase in average loans.
    Interest expense on deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $520,000 and $806,000, respectively. The average interest rate on interest bearing deposits decreased to 0.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 0.21% for the same period ended June 30, 2020.  Average interest-bearing deposits increased 31.28% or $242,059,000 to $1,015,879,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $773,820,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2020.
    Average other borrowed funds were $5,155,000 with an effective rate of 1.78% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $5,155,000 with an effective rate of 3.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  Total interest expense on other borrowed funds was $46,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $81,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  Other borrowings include advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), advances on available unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks, and junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures.  The debentures were acquired in the merger with Service 1st and carry a floating rate based on the three month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.60%.  The rates were 1.78% and 3.90% at June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  See the section on “Financial Condition” for more detail.
    The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 12 basis points to 0.11% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to 0.23% for the same period in 2020. The cost of total deposits decreased to 0.06% compared to 0.11% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.  Average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 29.43% to $869,386,000 in 2021 compared to $671,723,000 for 2020.  The ratio of average non-interest bearing demand deposits to average total deposits decreased to 46.11% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to 46.47% for the same period in 2020.
 
Net Interest Income before Provision for Credit Losses
 
Net interest income before the reversal of provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $4,033,000 or 12.76% to $35,636,000 compared to $31,603,000 for the same period in 2020.  The increase was a result of yield changes, asset mix changes, an increase in average earning assets, offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities. The impact to interest income from the accretion of the loan marks on acquired loans was $349,000 and $867,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was benefited by approximately $434,000 in nonrecurring income from prepayment penalties, as compared to $453,000 in nonrecurring income for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Excluding these reversals and benefits, net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $4,570,000 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Average interest earning assets were $1,996,278,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 with a net
42


interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) of 3.67% compared to $1,554,895,000 with a net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) of 4.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The $441,383,000 increase in average earning assets was attributed to the $363,326,000 increase in average total investments and the $78,057,000 or 7.81% increase in average loans.  For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the effective yield on investment securities including Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits in other banks decreased 48 basis points. The effective yield on loans decreased 2 basis points. Average interest bearing liabilities increased 31.07% to $1,021,034,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $778,975,000 for the same period in 2020. 
 
Provision for Credit Losses
 
We provide for probable incurred credit losses through a charge to operating income based upon the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, historical losses, and nonperforming assets, economic and environmental conditions and other factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve recognition in estimating credit losses. Credit risk is inherent in the business of making loans. The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses on loans through charges to earnings, which are presented in the statements of income as the provision for credit losses on loans. Specifically identifiable and quantifiable known losses are promptly charged off against the allowance. Loans are charged off when they are considered uncollectible or when continuance as an active earning bank asset is not warranted.
    The establishment of an adequate credit allowance is based on an allowance model that utilizes qualitative and quantitative factors, historical losses, loan level risk ratings and portfolio management tools.  The Board of Directors has established initial responsibility for the accuracy of credit risk ratings with the individual credit officer and oversight from Credit Administration who ensures the accuracy of the risk ratings. Quarterly, the credit officers must certify the current risk ratings of the loans in their portfolio. Credit Administration reviews the certifications and reports to the Board of Directors Audit Committee. At least annually the loan portfolio, including risk ratings, is reviewed by a third party credit reviewer. Regulatory agencies also review the loan portfolio on a periodic basis. See “Allowance for Credit Losses” for more information on the Company’s Allowance for Loan Loss.
    Quarterly, the Chief Credit Officer (CCO) reviews the specific reserve calculations for all impaired credits.  Additionally, the CCO is responsible to ensure that the general reserves on non-impaired loans are properly set each quarter.  This process includes the utilization of loan delinquency reports, classified asset reports, collateral analysis and portfolio concentration reports to assist in accurately assessing credit risk and establishing appropriate reserves. 
    The allowance for credit losses is reviewed at least quarterly by the Board of Directors Audit Committee and by the Board of Directors.  General reserves are allocated to loan portfolio categories using percentages which are based on both historical risk elements such as delinquencies and losses and predictive risk elements such as economic, competitive and environmental factors.  We have adopted the specific reserve approach to allocate reserves to each impaired credit for the purpose of estimating potential loss exposure.  Although the allowance for credit losses is allocated to various portfolio categories, it is general in nature and available for the loan portfolio in its entirety.  Changes in the allowance for credit losses may be required based on the results of independent loan portfolio examinations, regulatory agency examinations, or our own internal review process.  Additions are also required when, in management’s judgment, the allowance does not properly reflect the portfolio’s probable loss exposure. Management believes that all adjustments, if any, to the allowance for credit losses are supported by the timely and consistent application of methodologies and processes resulting in detailed documentation of the allowance calculation and other portfolio trending analysis.

Total allowance for credit losses $ 10,439  $ 12,915 
 
    Loans are charged to the allowance for credit losses when the loans are deemed uncollectible.  It is the policy of management to make additions to the allowance so that it remains adequate to cover all probable incurred credit losses that exist in the portfolio at that time. We assign qualitative and environmental factors (Q factors) to each loan category. Q factors include reserves held for the effects of lending policies, economic trends, and portfolio trends along with other dynamics which may cause additional stress to the portfolio.
    Managing high-risk credits includes developing a business strategy with the customer to mitigate our potential losses. Management continues to monitor these credits with a view to identifying as early as possible when, and to what extent, additional provisions may be necessary. Management believes that the level of allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial and real estate loans has been adjusted accordingly.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $3,300,000 reversal of provision for credit losses, compared to a $4,375,000 provision during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The reversal of provision to the allowance for credit losses resulted from our assessment of the overall adequacy of the allowance for credit losses considering a number of factors as discussed in the “Allowance for Credit Losses” section. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company adjusted the economic risk factor methodology to incorporate the current economic implications from the COVID-19 pandemic.
    The Company had net recoveries totaling $824,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and $432,000 for the same period in 2020.
    Nonperforming loans, consisting entirely of nonaccrual loans, were $2,035,000 and $3,278,000 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and $2,406,000 at June 30, 2020.  Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.19% at June 30, 2021 compared to 0.30% at December 31, 2020 and 0.21% at June 30, 2020.  The Company had no other real estate owned (OREO) at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. The Company held no repossessed assets at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
    The annualized net charge-off (recovery) ratio, which reflects net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans was (0.15)% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and (0.09)% for the same period in 2020.
    Economic pressures may negatively impact the financial condition of borrowers to whom the Company has extended credit and as a result when negative economic conditions are anticipated, we may be required to make significant provisions to the allowance for credit losses. The Bank conducts banking operations principally in California’s Central Valley. The Central Valley is largely dependent on agriculture. The agricultural economy in the Central Valley is therefore important to our business, financial performance and results of operations. We are also dependent in a large part upon the business activity, population growth, income levels and real estate activity in this market area. A downturn in agriculture and the agricultural related businesses could have a material adverse effect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The agricultural industry has been affected by declines in prices and the changes in yields on various crops and other agricultural commodities. Similarly, 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 of our loans. Further declines in commodity prices or collateral values may increase the
44


incidence of default by our borrowers. 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.
    We have been and will continue to be proactive in looking for signs of deterioration within the loan portfolio in an effort to manage credit quality and work with borrowers where possible to mitigate losses. As of June 30, 2021, there were $32.9 million in classified loans of which $1.2 million related to agricultural real estate, $12.1 million to commercial and industrial loans, $3.0 million to agricultural production, $7.0 million to real estate owner occupied, $9.6 million in commercial real estate. This compares to $36.1 million in classified loans of which $1.2 million related to agricultural real estate, $10.4 million to commercial and industrial loans, $3.3 million to agricultural production, $7.3 million to real estate owner occupied, $9.6 million to commercial real estate, $1.0 million to consumer equity and lines of credit, and $3.2 million to real estate construction and other land loans as of December 31, 2020.
    As of June 30, 2021, we believe, based on all current and available information, the allowance for credit losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses within the loan portfolio.  However, no assurance can be given that we may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period.  Refer to the “Allowance for Credit Losses” section for further information.
 
Net Interest Income after Provision for Credit Losses
 
Net interest income, after the provision for credit losses, was $38,936,000 for the six months period ended June 30, 2021 and $27,228,000 for the same period in 2020.
 
Non-Interest Income
 
Non-interest income is comprised of customer service charges, loan placement fees, net gains on sales and calls of investment securities, appreciation in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, FHLB dividends, and other income.  Non-interest income was $4,076,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $8,588,000 for the same period in 2020.  The $4,512,000 or 52.54% decrease in non-interest income during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily driven by a decrease of $4,219,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, a decrease in service charge income of $194,000, a decrease of $569,000 in other income, and a decrease in FHLB dividends of $29,000, offset by an increase in loan placement fees of $307,000 and an increase of $201,000 in interchange fees.
    During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we realized a net loss on calls of investment securities of $79,000 compared to a $4,140,000 net gain for the same period in 2020.  The net gains realized on sales and calls of investment securities in 2020 were the result of a partial restructuring of the investment portfolio designed to improve the future performance of the portfolio.
    Customer service charges decreased $194,000 or 17.75% to $899,000 for the first six months of 2021 compared to $1,093,000 for the same period in 2020. Interchange fees increased $201,000 to $841,000 the first six months of 2021 compared to $640,000 for the same period in 2020. Loan placement fees increased $307,000 or 35.70% to $1,167,000 for the first six months of 2021 compared to $860,000 for the same period in 2020. Other income decreased $569,000 the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in other income resulted from a $463,000 gain recorded the first six months of 2020 related to the collection of life insurance proceeds.
    The Bank holds stock from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of San Francisco in conjunction with our borrowing capacity and generally earns quarterly dividends.  We currently hold $5,595,000 in FHLB stock.  We received dividends totaling $153,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $182,000 for the same period in 2020.
 

Non-Interest Expenses
 
Salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, information technology, regulatory assessments, professional services, Internet banking, and data processing are the major categories of non-interest expenses.  Non-interest expenses decreased $559,000 or 2.37% to $23,018,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $23,577,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The net decrease for the first six months of 2021 was primarily the result of decreases in salaries and employee benefits of $407,000, directors’ expenses of $174,000, internet banking of $170,000, professional services of $149,000, advertising of $83,000, ATM/Debit card expenses of $65,000, information technology of $40,000, amortization of software of $47,000, stationary and supplies of $44,000, and operating losses of $19,000, partially offset by increases in data processing expenses of $352,000, regulatory assessments of $140,000, personnel of $131,000, occupancy and equipment expenses of $31,000, and donations of $26,000.
    The Company’s efficiency ratio, measured as the percentage of non-interest expenses (exclusive of amortization of core deposit intangible assets and foreclosure expenses) to net interest income before provision for credit losses (calculated on a fully tax equivalent basis) plus non-interest income (exclusive of net realized gains on sales and calls of investments, OREO
45


related gains and losses, and gains related to the collection of life insurance proceeds) was 55.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 65.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in the efficiency ratio was due to the decrease in non-interest expense as well as the growth in non-interest income.
    Salaries and employee benefits decreased $407,000 or 2.84% to $13,917,000 for the first six months of 2021 compared to $14,324,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  Full time equivalent employees were 261 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 270 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in total salaries and employee benefits was the result of a decrease of $1,286,000 in officers’ expenses related to the change in the discount rate used to calculate the liability for salary continuation, deferred compensation, and split dollar plans; offset by an increase of approximately $879,000 in salaries and benefits and a decrease in loan issuance costs of $769,000. A portion of the salaries and benefits increase was related to $172,000 paid and/or accrued for severance pay.
    Occupancy and equipment expense increased $31,000 or 1.36% to $2,314,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $2,283,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company made no changes in its depreciation expense methodology. The Company operated 20 full-service offices at June 30, 2021 and at June 30, 2020.
    Data processing expense increased to $1,242,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $890,000 for the same period in 2020. Regulatory assessments increased to $333,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $193,000 for the same period in 2020.  The assessment base for calculating the amount owed is average assets minus average tangible equity.
    Professional services decreased by $149,000 in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Personnel expense included an accrual of $136,000 for an executive search firm to find a replacement for our retiring chief executive officer.

Provision for Income Taxes
 
Our effective income tax rate was 24.77% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 27.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company reported an income tax provision of $4,952,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $3,315,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The effective tax rate was affected by the increase in tax-exempt interest. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. If deemed necessary, the Company maintains a reserve for uncertain income taxes where the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained upon
46


examination do not meet a more-likely-than-not criteria. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was no reserve for uncertain tax positions.

Net Income for the Second Quarter of 2021 Compared to the Second Quarter of 2020
 
Net income increased to $7,563,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $2,301,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  Basic earnings per share was $0.61 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0.18 for the same period in 2020. Diluted earnings per share was $0.60 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0.18 for the same period in 2020. Annualized ROE was 12.25% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to 4.14% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  Annualized ROA for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 1.36% compared to 0.51% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
 
The increase in net income during the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 is primarily due to a decrease in provision for credit losses of $4,500,000, an increase in net interest income before the provision for credit losses of $2,507,000, and an increase in total non-interest income of $32,000, partially offset by an increase in the provision for income taxes of $1,645,000 and an increase in non-interest expenses of $132,000. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $1,500,000 reversal of provision for credit losses, compared to a $3,000,000 provision during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Non-interest income increased $32,000 or 1.56% to $2,077,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $2,045,000 in the same period in 2020. During the second quarter of 2021 interchange fees increased $164,000, service charge income increased $20,000 and Federal Home Loan Bank dividends increased $8,000, offset by a decrease in placement fees of $51,000, a decrease in other income of $88,000, and a decrease in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities of $21,000, compared to the same period in 2020. For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, non-interest income included a $166,000 gain related to the collection of tax-exempt life insurance proceeds.

Interest and fee income from loans increased $956,000 or 7.59% to $13,556,000 for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $12,600,000 for the same period in 2020.  Total average loans, including nonaccrual loans, for the second quarter of 2021 increased $3,217,000 or 0.30% to $1,080,425,000 compared to $1,077,208,000 for the same period in 2020.  Yield on the loan portfolio, excluding nonaccrual loans, was 5.04% and 4.71% for the second quarters ending June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  Net interest income during the second quarters of 2021 and 2020 benefited by approximately $4,000 and $288,000, respectively, in nonrecurring income from prepayment penalties and payoff of loans previously on nonaccrual status. The accretion of the loan marks on acquired loans increased interest income by $176,000 and $174,000 during the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Income from investments represents 26.54% of net interest income for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 21.73% for the same quarter in 2020. Interest income from total investments on a non tax equivalent basis (total investments include investment securities, Federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits with other banks, and other securities) increased $1,415,000 in the second quarter of 2021 to $4,799,000 compared to $3,384,000, for the same period in 2020.  The yield on average total investments decreased 26 basis points to 2.11% on a fully tax equivalent basis for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2.37% on a fully tax equivalent basis for the second quarter of 2020. Average total investments and interest bearing deposits in other banks for the second quarter of 2021 increased $391,002,000 or 66.35% to $980,329,000 compared to $589,327,000 for the second quarter of 2020.
Total interest income for the second quarter of 2021 increased $2,371,000 or 14.83% to $18,355,000 compared to $15,984,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.  The yield on interest earning assets decreased to 3.65% on a fully tax equivalent basis for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 from 3.89% on a fully tax equivalent basis for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.  Average interest earning assets increased to $2,058,103,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1,664,915,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.  The $393,188,000 increase in average earning assets was attributed to the $2,186,000 increase in average loans and the $391,002,000 increase in total investments.
Interest expense on deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 decreased $122,000 or 32.62% to $252,000 compared to $374,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  The cost of deposits, calculated by dividing annualized interest expense on interest bearing deposits by total deposits, was 0.05% and 0.10% for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  Average interest bearing deposits increased 31.26% or $251,149,000 in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.  Average interest-bearing deposits were $1,054,567,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, with an effective rate paid of 0.10%, compared to $803,418,000 for the same period in 2020, with an effective rate paid of 0.19%.
Average other borrowed funds totaled $5,155,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, with an effective rate of 1.71% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $5,155,000 and 2.79% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  As a result, interest expense on borrowed funds decreased $14,000 to $22,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, from $36,000 for the
49


quarter ended June 30, 2020.  Other borrowings are comprised of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures and advances on available unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks.
The cost of our interest bearing liabilities was 0.10% and 0.20% for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.  The cost of total deposits was 0.05% and 0.10% for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.  Average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 18.61% to $893,441,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $753,265,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  The ratio of average non-interest bearing demand deposits to average total deposits was 45.86% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 48.39% for the same period in 2020.

Net Interest Income before Provision for Credit Losses
 
Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, increased $2,507,000 or 16.10% to $18,081,000 compared to $15,574,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  The increase was due to asset mix changes, and the increase in average interest earning assets, partially offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest earning assets were $2,058,103,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, with a net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) of 3.60% compared to $1,664,915,000 with a net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) of 3.79% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  The $393,188,000 increase in average earning assets can be attributed to the $3,217,000 increase in loans, and the $391,002,000 increase in total investments.  Average interest bearing liabilities increased 31.06% to $1,059,722,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $808,573,000 for the same period in 2020.
 
Provision for Credit Losses

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $1,500,000 reversal of provision for credit losses, compared to $3,000,000 provision during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  The annualized net charge-off (recovery) ratio, which reflects net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans, was 0.04% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to (0.15)% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company had net charge-offs totaling $117,000 compared to net recoveries of $391,000 for the same period in 2020. Gross recoveries of previously charged off loan balances during the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $54,000 and $471,000, respectively. Gross charge-offs during the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $171,000 and $80,000, respectively. The majority of the loans charged off were previously classified and sufficient specific reserves related to these impaired credits were held in the allowance for credit losses in reporting periods prior to the date of charge-off.
 
Non-Interest Income
 
Non-interest income was $2,077,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $2,045,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2020.  The $32,000 or 1.56% increase in non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to recording a $164,000 increase in interchange fees, a $20,000 increase in service charge income, and a $8,000 increase in Federal Home Loan Bank dividends, partially offset by a $88,000 decrease in other income, a $51,000 decrease in loan placement fees, and a $21,000 decrease in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities,
Customer service charges increased $20,000 or 4.47% to $467,000 for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $447,000 for the same period in 2020, due primarily to an increase in overdraft fee income.  Other income decreased $88,000 or 16.39% to $449,000 for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $537,000 for the same period in 2020. For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, other income included a $166,000 gain related to the collection of tax-exempt life insurance proceeds.  
 
Non-Interest Expenses
 
Salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, regulatory assessments, data processing, acquisition and integration expenses, Internet banking, license and maintenance contracts, and professional services are the major categories of non-interest expenses.  Non-interest expenses increased $132,000 or 1.15% to $11,630,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $11,498,000 for the same period in 2020. The net increase quarter over quarter was a result of a increases in salaries and employee benefits of $167,000, increases in data processing expense of $71,000, increases in occupancy and equipment expenses of $62,000, increases in regulatory assessments of $26,000, increases in appraisal fees of $25,000, increases in alarm monitoring expenses of 15,000, increases in operating losses of $10,000, and increases in Information technology expenses of $9,000. The increases were partially offset by the decreases in Internet banking expenses of $98,000, the decreases in professional services of $47,000, the decreases in advertising expenses of $39,000, the decreases in stationery and supplies of $29,000, the decreases in directors’ expenses of $23,000, and the decreases in amortization of software of $14,000 . During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, nonrecurring expenses included $106,000 related to PPP loan forgiveness processing.
The Company’s efficiency ratio decreased to 55.58% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 64.27% for the second quarter of 2020. The improvement in the efficiency ratio is due to the growth in operating revenue outpacing the increase in non-interest expense.
50


Salaries and employee benefits increased $167,000 or 2.45% to $6,979,000 for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $6,812,000 for the second quarter of 2020.  The number of full time equivalent (FTE) employees as of June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 was 247, 273, and 265, respectively.
Other non-interest expenses included increases of $20,000 in donations, $18,000 in personnel expenses, $8,000 in education/training expenses, $4,000 in telephone expenses, and $3,000 in armored courier expenses, partially offset by decreases of $29,000 in stationary and supplies, $14,000 in amortization of software, $13,000 in risk management expense, and $13,000 in check printing expense, as compared to the same period in 2020.

Provision for Income Taxes
 
The effective income tax rate was 24.58% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 26.27% for the same period in 2020.  Provision for income taxes totaled $2,465,000 and $820,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  The 2021 effective tax rate was affected by the increase in tax-exempt interest, as well as the reversal of provision for credit losses. The 2020 effective tax rate was affected by the large provision for credit losses which resulted in lower pretax and taxable income, as well as the gain related to the collection of life insurance proceeds.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
Summary of Changes in Consolidated Balance Sheets
 
June 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020

Total assets were $2,280,550,000 as of June 30, 2021, compared to $2,004,096,000 at December 31, 2020, an increase of 13.79% or $276,454,000.  Total gross loans were $1,069,945,000 at June 30, 2021, compared to $1,102,347,000 at December 31, 2020, a decrease of $32,402,000 or 2.94%.  The total investment portfolio (including Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits in other banks) increased 38.13% or $287,429,000 to $1,041,258,000 at June 30, 2021 compared to $753,829,000 at December 31, 2020.  Total deposits increased 14.88% or $256,384,000 to $1,979,094,000 at June 30, 2021, compared to $1,722,710,000 at December 31, 2020.  Shareholders’ equity increased $6,028,000 or 2.46% to $251,049,000 at June 30, 2021, compared to $245,021,000 at December 31, 2020. The increase in shareholders’ equity was driven by the retention of earnings, net of dividends paid, the decrease in unrealized gains on available-for-sale (AFS) securities, and share repurchases. Accrued interest payable and other liabilities was $45,252,000 at June 30, 2021, compared to $31,210,000 at December 31, 2020, a increase of $14,042,000.

Fair Value
 
The Company measures the fair values of its financial instruments utilizing a hierarchical framework associated with the level of observable pricing scenarios utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value.  The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates to the level of the observable pricing scenario.  Financial instruments with readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of observable pricing and a lesser degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value.  Conversely, financial instruments rarely traded or not quoted will generally have little or no observable pricing and a higher degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value.  Observable pricing scenarios are impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established and the characteristics specific to the transaction. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for additional information about the level of pricing transparency associated with financial instruments carried at fair value.
 
Investments
 
Our investment portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage backed obligations, private label mortgage and asset backed securities (PLMABS), corporate debt securities, and obligations of states and political subdivision securities and are classified at the date of acquisition as available for sale or held to maturity.  As of June 30, 2021, investment securities with a fair value of $191,882,000, or 20.15% of our investment securities portfolio, were held as collateral for public funds, short and long-term borrowings, treasury, tax, and for other purposes.  Our investment policies are established by the Board of Directors and implemented by management.  Our policies are designed primarily to provide and maintain liquidity, to enable us to meet our pledging requirements for public money and borrowing arrangements, to generate a favorable return on investments without incurring undue interest rate and credit risk, and to complement our lending activities.
    The level of our investment portfolio as a percentage of our total earning assets is generally considered higher than our peers due primarily to a comparatively low loan-to-deposit ratio.  Our loan-to-deposit ratio at June 30, 2021 was 54.06%
51


compared to 63.99% at December 31, 2020.  The loan-to-deposit ratio of our peers was 80.00% at December 31, 2020.  The total investment portfolio, including Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits in other banks, increased 38.13% or $287,429,000 to $1,041,258,000 at June 30, 2021, from $753,829,000 at December 31, 2020.  The fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio reflected a net unrealized gain of $18,278,000 at June 30, 2021, compared to a net unrealized gain of $21,091,000 at December 31, 2020.
    The Board and management have had periodic discussions about our strategy for risk management in dealing with potential losses should interest rates begin to rise. We have been managing the portfolio with an objective of optimizing risk and return in various interest rate scenarios. We do not attempt to predict future interest rates, but we analyze the cash flows of our investment portfolio in different interest rate scenarios in connection with the rest of our balance sheet to design an investment portfolio that optimizes performance. 
    The Company periodically evaluates each investment security for other-than-temporary impairment, relying primarily on industry analyst reports, observation of market conditions, and interest rate fluctuations.  The portion of the impairment that is attributable to a shortage in the present value of expected future cash flows relative to the amortized cost should be recorded as a current period charge to earnings.  The discount rate in this analysis is the original yield expected at time of purchase.
    Management evaluated all available-for-sale investment securities with an unrealized loss at June 30, 2021 and identified those that had an unrealized loss for at least a consecutive 12 month period, which had an unrealized loss at June 30, 2021 greater than 10% of the recorded book value on that date, or which had an unrealized loss of more than $75,000.  Management also analyzed any securities that may have been downgraded by credit rating agencies. 
     For those securities that met the evaluation criteria, management obtained and reviewed the most recently published national credit ratings for those securities.  There were no OTTI losses recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
At June 30, 2021, the Company held two U.S. Treasury securities of which one security was in a loss position for less than 12 months. The unrealized loss on the Company’s investment in direct obligations of U.S. Treasury securities is associated with the general fluctuation of market interest rates and are not an indication of any deterioration in the credit quality of the security issuer. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized costs of the investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell, those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be the maturity date, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021.
    At June 30, 2021, the Company held one U.S. Government agency security which was in a gain position.
    At June 30, 2021, the Company held 122 obligations of states and political subdivision securities of which 16 were in a loss position for less than 12 months. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in obligations of states and political subdivision securities and corporate debt securities were caused by interest rate changes. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021.
    At June 30, 2021, the Company held 115 U.S. Government sponsored entity and agency securities collateralized by residential mortgage obligations of which eight were in a loss position for less than 12 months and 11 have been in a loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage obligations were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency or sponsored entity of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability to hold and does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021.
    At June 30, 2021, the Company had a total of 49 Private Label Mortgage and Asset Backed Securities (PLMABS) with a remaining principal balance of $180,844,000 and a net unrealized loss of approximately $63,000.  18 of the PLMABS securities were in a loss position for less than 12 months and two has been in loss for more than 12 months at June 30, 2021. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be the maturity date, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021. The Company continues to monitor these securities for indications that declines in value, if any, may be other-than-temporary.
At June 30, 2021, the Company held 14 corporate debt securities of which five were in a loss position for less than 12 months. The unrealized loss on the Company’s investments in corporate debt security was caused by interest rate changes. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2021.

    As of June 30, 2021, in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in commercial loans and loans collateralized by real estate, representing approximately 96.5% of total loans.  This level of concentration of commercial loans and loans collateralized by real estate is consistent with 96.7% of total loans at December 31, 2020.  Although management believes the loans within this concentration have no more than the normal risk of collectibility, a substantial decline in the performance of the economy in general or a decline in real estate values in our primary market areas, in particular, could have an adverse impact on collectibility, increase the level of real estate-related non-performing loans, or have other adverse effects which alone or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.  The Company does not engage in any sub-prime mortgage lending activities.
    At June 30, 2021, loans acquired in the Folsom Lake Bank (FLB), Sierra Vista Bank (SVB) and Visalia Community Bank (VCB) acquisitions had a balance of $109,932,000, of which $2,374,000 were commercial loans, $98,912,000 were real estate loans, and $8,646,000 were consumer loans. At December 31, 2020, loans acquired in the FLB, SVB and VCB acquisitions had a balance of $127,186,000, of which $2,529,000 were commercial loans, $110,616,000 were real estate loans, and $14,041,000 were consumer loans.
    We believe that our commercial real estate loan underwriting policies and practices result in prudent extensions of credit, but recognize that our lending activities result in relatively high reported commercial real estate lending levels.  Commercial real estate loans include certain loans which represent low to moderate risk and certain loans with higher risks. Contributing to the commercial and industrial loan growth was the issuance of PPP loans. As of June 30, 2021, gross loans included $109,502,000 in PPP loans which are fully guaranteed by the SBA.
    The Board of Directors review and approve concentration limits and exceptions to limitations of concentration are reported to the Board of Directors at least quarterly.

Nonperforming Assets
 
Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned (OREO), and repossessed assets.  Nonperforming loans are those loans which have (i) been placed on nonaccrual status; (ii) been classified as doubtful under our asset classification system; or (iii) become contractually past due 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest and have not been restructured or otherwise placed on nonaccrual status.  A loan is classified as nonaccrual when (i) it is maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower; (ii) payment in full of principal or interest under the original contractual terms is not expected; or (iii) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection.
    At June 30, 2021, total nonperforming assets totaled $2,035,000, or 0.09% of total assets, compared to $3,278,000, or 0.16% of total assets at December 31, 2020.  Total nonperforming assets at June 30, 2021, included nonaccrual loans totaling $2,035,000, no OREO, and no other repossessed assets. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2020 consisted of $3,278,000 in nonaccrual loans, no OREO, and no other repossessed assets. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had no loan considered to be a troubled debt restructuring (“TDRs”) included in nonaccrual loans.
    A summary of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is set forth below.  The Company had no loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest at June 30, 2021 or at December 31, 2020.  Management can give no assurance that nonaccrual and other nonperforming loans will not increase in the future.

Loans considered to be impaired $ 8,539  $ 11,186 
Related allowance for credit losses on impaired loans $ 880  $ 631 

    We measure our impaired loans by using the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent and the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original contractual interest rate if the loan is not collateral dependent.  As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had impaired loans totaling $8,539,000 and $11,186,000, respectively.  For collateral dependent loans secured by real estate, we obtain external valuations which are updated at least annually to determine the fair value of the collateral, and we record a charge-off for the difference between the book value of the loan and the appraised value less selling costs value of the collateral, unless there is an extenuating circumstance that may positively affect the amount collected. We perform quarterly internal reviews on substandard loans. We place loans on nonaccrual status and classify them as impaired when it becomes probable that we will not receive interest and principal under the original contractual terms, or when loans are delinquent 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection.  Management maintains certain loans that have been brought current by the borrower (less than 30 days delinquent) on nonaccrual status until such time as management has determined that the loans are likely to remain current in future periods.

    OREO represents real property taken either through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu thereof from the borrower.  OREO is initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell and thereafter carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less selling costs. We had no OREO properties at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. The Company held no repossessed assets at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Allowance for Credit Losses
 
We have established a methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses made up of general and specific allocations.  The methodology is set forth in a formal policy and takes into consideration the need for an overall allowance for credit losses as well as specific allowances that are tied to individual loans.  The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of probable incurred credit losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. The allowance consists of two primary components, specific reserves related to impaired loans and general reserves for probable incurred losses related to loans that are not impaired.
    For all portfolio segments, the determination of the general reserve for loans that are not impaired is based on estimates made by management, including but not limited to, consideration of historical losses by portfolio segment (and in certain cases peer loss data) over the most recent 50 quarters, and qualitative factors including economic trends in the Company’s service areas, industry experience and trends, geographic concentrations, estimated collateral values, the Company’s underwriting policies, the character of the loan portfolio, and probable losses incurred in the portfolio taken as a whole. Management has determined that the most recent 50 quarters was an appropriate look back period based on several factors including the current global economic uncertainty and various national and local economic indicators, and a time period sufficient to capture enough data due to the size of the portfolio to produce statistically accurate historical loss calculations. We believe this period is an appropriate look back period.
    In originating loans, we recognize that losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, general economic conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the collateral securing the loan.  The allowance is increased by provisions charged against earnings and recoveries, and reduced by net loan charge-offs.  Loans are charged off when they are deemed to be uncollectible, or partially charged off when portions of a loan are deemed to be uncollectible.  Recoveries are generally recorded only when cash payments are received.
    The allowance for credit losses is maintained to cover probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio.  The responsibility for the review of our assets and the determination of the adequacy lies with management and our Audit Committee.  They delegate the authority to the Chief Credit Officer (CCO) to determine the loss reserve ratio for each type of asset and to review, at least quarterly, the adequacy of the allowance based on an evaluation of the portfolio, past experience, prevailing market conditions, amount of government guarantees, concentration in loan types and other relevant factors.
    The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of the probable incurred credit losses in our loan and lease portfolio.  The allowance is based on principles of accounting: (i) losses accrued for on loans when they are probable of occurring and can be reasonably estimated and (ii) losses accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.
    Management adheres to an internal asset review system and loss allowance methodology designed to provide for timely recognition of problem assets and adequate valuation allowances to cover probable incurred losses.  The Bank’s asset monitoring process includes the use of asset classifications to segregate the assets, largely loans, into various risk categories.  The Bank uses the various asset classifications as a means of measuring risk and determining the adequacy of valuation allowances by using a nine-grade system to classify assets.  In general, all credit facilities exceeding 90 days of delinquency require classification and are placed on nonaccrual.

Managing credits identified through the risk evaluation methodology includes developing a business strategy with the customer to mitigate our losses.  Our management continues to monitor these credits with a view to identifying as early as possible when, and to what extent, additional provisions may be necessary.  Risks and uncertainties exist in all lending transactions and our management and Board of Directors’ Loan Committee have established reserve levels based on economic uncertainties and other risks that exist as of each reporting period.
The allowance for credit losses is reviewed at least quarterly by the Bank’s and our Board of Directors’ Audit Committee.  Reserves are allocated to loan portfolio segments using percentages which are based on both historical risk elements such as delinquencies and losses and predictive risk elements such as economic, competitive and environmental factors.  We have adopted the specific reserve approach to allocate reserves to each impaired asset for the purpose of estimating potential loss exposure. At the onset of COVID we established a dedicated qualitative factor to address the lagging effect on our quantitative data. We have begun reducing that factor’s impact on the ALLL given the passage of time. We adjusted the economic risk factor methodology to incorporate the improving economic conditions and decreasing unemployment rate. Although the allowance for credit losses is allocated to various portfolio categories, it is general in nature and available for the loan portfolio in its entirety.  Additions may be required based on the results of independent loan portfolio examinations, regulatory agency examinations, or our own internal review process.  Additions are also required when, in management’s judgment, the reserve does not properly reflect the potential loss exposure.
    As of June 30, 2021, the balance in the allowance for credit losses (ALLL) was $10,439,000 compared to $12,915,000 as of December 31, 2020.  The decrease is attributed to the reversal of provision of $3,300,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021.  The balance of undisbursed commitments to extend credit on construction and other loans and letters of credit was $316,702,000 as of June 30, 2021, compared to $326,179,000 as of December 31, 2020.  At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance of a contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations was $250,000. The contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations is calculated by management using appropriate, systematic, and consistently applied processes.  While related to credit losses, this allocation is not a part of the ALLL and is considered separately as a liability for accounting and regulatory reporting purposes.
    As of June 30, 2021, the ALLL was 0.98% of total gross loans compared to 1.17% as of December 31, 2020.  Total loans include FLB, SVB and VCB loans that were recorded at fair value in connection with the acquisitions, with values of $109,932,000 at June 30, 2021 and $127,186,000 at December 31, 2020. Excluding these FLB, SVB and VCB loans from the calculation, the ALLL to total gross loans was 1.09% and 1.32% at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively and general reserves associated with non-impaired loans to total non-impaired loans was 1.13% and 1.41%, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, gross loans included $109,502,000 related to PPP loans which are fully guaranteed by the SBA. Excluding PPP loans and the acquired loans from the calculation, the allowance for credit losses to total gross loans was 1.23% and 1.65% as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company believes the allowance for credit losses is adequate to provide for probable incurred credit losses within the loan portfolio at June 30, 2021. The loan portfolios acquired in the mergers were booked at fair value with no associated allocation in the ALLL.  The size of the fair value discount remains adequate for all non-impaired acquired loans.
    The Company’s loan portfolio balances for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased through organic growth.  Management believes that the change in the allowance for credit losses to total loans ratio is directionally consistent with the composition of loans and the level of nonperforming and classified loans, and by the general economic conditions experienced in the central California communities serviced by the Company, partially offset by recent improvements in real estate collateral values.
    Assumptions regarding the collateral value of various under-performing loans may affect the level and allocation of the allowance for credit losses in future periods.  The allowance may also be affected by trends in the amount of charge-offs experienced or expected trends within different loan portfolios. However, the total reserve rates on non-impaired loans include qualitative factors which are systematically derived and consistently applied to reflect conservatively estimated losses from loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements. Based on the above considerations and given recent changes in historical
56


charge-off rates included in the ALLL modeling and the changes in other factors, management determined that the ALLL was appropriate as of June 30, 2021. However, no assurance can be given that the Company may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period.
    The following table illustrates and sets forth additional analysis which portrays the trends that are occurring in the loan portfolio.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
Business combinations involving the Company’s acquisition of the equity interests or net assets of another enterprise give rise to goodwill.  Total goodwill at June 30, 2021, was $53,777,000 consisting of $8,934,000, $14,643,000, $6,340,000, $10,394,000, and $13,466,000 representing the excess of the cost of Bank of Madera County, Service 1st Bancorp, Visalia Community Bank, Sierra Vista Bank, and Folsom Lake Bank, respectively, over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transactions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  The value of goodwill is ultimately derived from the Company’s ability to generate net earnings after the acquisitions and is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment during the first twelve months after the acquisition date if additional information becomes available to indicate a more accurate or appropriate value for an asset or liability.  A significant decline in net earnings, among other factors, could be indicative of a decline in the fair value of goodwill and result in impairment.  For that reason, goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment.
During March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic emerged and began impacting the state and local economies in our market due to local shelter-in-place orders and restrictions on businesses which caused many nonessential businesses to close and workers to be temporarily unemployed. COVID-19 could cause a further and sustained decline in the Company’s stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform a goodwill impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that the Company concludes that all or a portion of its goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital. Management considered the COVID-19 related economic downturn to be such a triggering event and therefore performed qualitative assessments at the end of the first, second and fourth quarters of 2020. Given the continued economic impact of the pandemic, management determined it appropriate to perform a quantitative test as of September 30, 2020. Management engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist with the performance of the quantitative goodwill impairment test in the third quarter of 2020. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies for goodwill that were employed and included, but were not limited to, prospective financial information, growth rates, terminal value, discount rates, and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry. Based on this quantitative test, it was determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value as of September 30, 2020.
Goodwill is assessed for impairment between annual tests if a triggering event occurs or circumstances change that may cause the fair value of a reporting unit to decline below its carrying amount. Management considers the entire Company to be one reporting unit. No such events or circumstances arose during the first six months of 2021. Changes in the economic environment, operations of the reporting unit or other adverse events could result in future impairment charges which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating results.
    The intangible assets represent the estimated fair value of the core deposit relationships acquired in the 2017 acquisition of Folsom Lake Bank of $1,879,000, the 2016 acquisition of Sierra Vista Bank of $508,000, and the 2013 acquisition of Visalia Community Bank of $1,365,000.  Core deposit intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest method) over estimated lives of five to 10 years from the date of acquisition.  The carrying value of intangible assets at June 30, 2021 was $835,000, net of $2,744,000 in accumulated amortization expense.  The carrying value at December 31, 2020 was $1,183,000, net of $2,569,000 accumulated amortization expense.  We evaluate the remaining useful lives quarterly to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization.  Based on the evaluation, no changes to the remaining useful lives was required in the first six months of 2021.  Amortization expense recognized was $347,000 and $347,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

Deposits and Borrowings
 
The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to applicable legal limits. All of a depositor’s accounts at an insured depository institution, including all non-interest bearing transactions accounts, are insured by the FDIC up to standard maximum deposit insurance amount of $250,000 for each deposit insurance ownership category.
    Total deposits increased $256,384,000 or 14.88% to $1,979,094,000 as of June 30, 2021, compared to $1,722,710,000 as of December 31, 2020.  Interest-bearing deposits increased $181,867,000 or 20.26% to $1,079,688,000 as of June 30, 2021, compared to $897,821,000 as of December 31, 2020.  Non-interest bearing deposits increased $74,517,000 or 9.03% to $899,406,000 as of June 30, 2021, compared to $824,889,000 as of December 31, 2020.  Average non-interest bearing deposits to average total deposits was 46.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 46.47% for the same period in 2020. The Company’s deposit balances for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased through organic growth and PPP loan proceeds retained in customer deposit accounts.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of San Francisco advances. We maintain a line of credit with the FHLB collateralized by government securities and loans. Refer to the Liquidity section below for further discussion of FHLB advances.

Capital
 
Capital serves as a source of funds and helps protect depositors and shareholders against potential losses.  Historically, the primary source of capital for the Company has been through retained earnings. 
The Company has historically maintained substantial levels of capital.  The assessment of capital adequacy is dependent on several factors including asset quality, earnings trends, liquidity and economic conditions.  Maintenance of adequate capital levels is integral to providing stability to the Company.  The Company needs to maintain substantial levels of regulatory capital to give it maximum flexibility in the changing regulatory environment and to respond to changes in the market and economic conditions.
Our shareholders’ equity was $251,049,000 at June 30, 2021, compared to $245,021,000 at December 31, 2020.  The increase from December 31, 2020 in shareholders’ equity is the result of a an increase in retained earnings from net income of $15,042,000, the exercise of stock options of $213,000, stock issued under the employee stock purchase plan of $110,000, the effect of share based compensation expense of $210,000, and stock awarded to employees of $158,000, offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of $1,982,000, common stock cash dividends of $2,881,000, and stock repurchases of $4,842,000.
58


    On March 17, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the adoption of a program to effect repurchases of the Company’s common stock with the intent to purchase up to $12 million worth of the Company’s outstanding common stock.  During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repurchased and retired 239,679 shares at an approximate cost of $4,842,000. The share repurchase plan began on March 18, 2021 and will end on March 17, 2022.
    During the first six months of 2021, the Company declared and paid $2,881,000 in cash dividends ($0.23 per common share) to holders of common stock. The Company declared and paid a total of $5,530,000 in cash dividends ($0.44 per common share) to holders of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2020.
    Management considers capital requirements as part of its strategic planning process.  The strategic plan calls for continuing increases in assets and liabilities, and the capital required may therefore be in excess of retained earnings.  The ability to obtain capital is dependent upon the capital markets as well as our performance.  Management regularly evaluates sources of capital and the timing required to meet its strategic objectives. 
    The Board of Governors, the FDIC and other federal banking agencies have issued risk-based capital adequacy
guidelines intended to provide a measure of capital adequacy that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking
organization’s operations for both transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets, and transactions, such as letters of
credit and recourse arrangements, which are reported as off-balance-sheet items.

The Company succeeded to all of the rights and obligations of the Service 1st Capital Trust I, a Delaware business trust, in connection with the acquisition of Service 1st as of November 12, 2008.  The Trust was formed on August 17, 2006 for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Service 1st.  Under applicable regulatory guidance, the amount of trust preferred securities that is eligible as Tier 1 capital is limited to 25% of the Company’s Tier 1 capital on a pro forma basis.  At June 30, 2021, all of the trust preferred securities that have been issued qualify as Tier 1 capital.  The trust preferred securities mature on October 7, 2036, are redeemable at the Company’s option beginning five years
59


after issuance, and require quarterly distributions by the Trust to the holder of the trust preferred securities at a variable interest rate which will adjust quarterly to equal the three month LIBOR plus 1.60%.
The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities to purchase approximately $5,155,000 in aggregate principal amount of Service 1st’s junior subordinated notes (the Notes).  The Notes bear interest at the same variable interest rate during the same quarterly periods as the trust preferred securities.  The Notes are redeemable by the Company on any January 7, April 7, July 7, or October 7 on or after October 7, 2012 or at any time within 90 days following the occurrence of certain events, such as: (i) a change in the regulatory capital treatment of the Notes; (ii) in the event the Trust is deemed an investment company; or (iii) upon the occurrence of certain adverse tax events.  In each such case, the Company may redeem the Notes for their aggregate principal amount, plus any accrued but unpaid interest.
The Notes may be declared immediately due and payable at the election of the trustee or holders of 25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes in the event that the Company defaults in the payment of any interest following the nonpayment of any such interest for 20 or more consecutive quarterly periods.  Holders of the trust preferred securities are entitled to a cumulative cash distribution on the liquidation amount of $1,000 per security.  For each January 7, April 7, July 7 or October 7 of each year, the rate will be adjusted to equal the three month LIBOR plus 1.60%.  As of June 30, 2021, the rate was 1.78%. 

Liquidity
 
Liquidity management involves our ability to meet cash flow requirements arising from fluctuations in deposit levels and demands of daily operations, which include funding of securities purchases, providing for customers’ credit needs and ongoing repayment of borrowings.  Our liquidity is actively managed on a daily basis and reviewed periodically by our management and Board of Director’s Asset/Liability Committees.  This process is intended to ensure the maintenance of sufficient funds to meet our needs, including adequate cash flow for off-balance sheet commitments.
    Our primary sources of liquidity are derived from financing activities which include the acceptance of customer and, to a lesser extent, broker deposits, Federal funds facilities with correspondent banks, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.  These funding sources are augmented by payments of principal and interest on loans, the routine maturities and pay downs of securities from the securities portfolio, the stability of our core deposits and the ability to sell investment securities.  As of June 30, 2021, the Company had unpledged securities totaling $768,056,000 available as a secondary source of liquidity and total cash and cash equivalents of $120,666,000.  Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2021 increased 71.70% compared to $70,278,000 at December 31, 2020.  Primary uses of funds include withdrawal of and interest payments on deposits, originations and purchases of loans, purchases of investment securities, and payment of operating expenses.
    As a means of augmenting our liquidity, we have established federal funds lines with our correspondent banks.  At June 30, 2021, our available borrowing capacity includes approximately $110,000,000 in unsecured credit lines with our correspondent banks, $245,311,000 in unused FHLB secured advances and a $11,480,000 secured credit line at the Federal Reserve Bank.  We believe our liquidity sources to be stable and adequate.  At June 30, 2021, we were not aware of any information that was reasonably likely to have a material effect on our liquidity position.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our results of operations are highly dependent upon our ability to manage interest rate risk. We consider interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Interest rate risk is measured and assessed on a quarterly basis. In our opinion, there has not been a material change in our interest rate risk exposure since the information disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report. The evaluation was based in part upon reports provided by a number of executives.  Based upon, and as of the date of the evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
61


    There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
    In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

EXHIBIT 10.93
III.RETIREMENT BENEFIT
If the Executive Retires on or after October 5, 2025, the Bank shall pay the Executive an annual retirement benefit equal to Forty Thousand Dollars and No/100 ($40,000.00), in equal monthly installments (each of which shall be 1/12 of the annual benefit), for a period of sixty (60) months, commencing on the first day of the month following the date of the Executive’s Retirement. Beginning with the thirteenth month that benefits are paid, and continuing thereafter until paid in full, the annual benefit shall be increased each year by three percent (3%) from the previous year’s benefit to account for cost of living increases. In the event of the Executive’s death prior to the date all payments have been made, Section IV of this Agreement shall control.

For purposes of this Section, “Retirement” and “Retire” mean that the Executive remains in the continuous employ of the Bank from the Effective Date and then retires from active employment (and his Employment Terminates) with the Bank, after October 5, 2025.
If the Executive Terminates Employment before October 5, 2025, this Agreement shall immediately terminate and the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any benefits under this Agreement.

    2

EXHIBIT 10.93
services provided to the Bank, to a level of service that is less than fifty percent (50%) of the average level of bona fide services provided by Executive to the Bank in the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the terms “Termination of Employment” and “Employment Terminates” shall be construed in accordance with Code Section 409A, together with regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time (collectively referred to as “Code Section 409A”).
B.Termination of Employment For Cause.
In the event the Executive’s Employment Terminates For Cause, then this Agreement shall immediately terminate and the Executive shall forfeit all benefits and shall not be entitled to receive any benefits under this Agreement. “For Cause” shall mean any of the following actions by the Executive that result in an adverse effect on the Bank: (1) gross negligence or gross neglect; (2) the commission of a felony or gross misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, fraud, or dishonesty; (3) the willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than a traffic violation or similar offense); (4) an intentional failure to perform stated duties; or (5) a breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit. If a dispute arises as to whether Termination of Employment was For Cause, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration as set forth in this Agreement.
VI.CHANGE IN CONTROL
Upon a Change In Control, the Bank shall pay the Executive a lump sum payment equal to the present value (calculated using the assumptions set forth in Section IX(K), determined as of the date of payment) of one hundred percent (100%) of the benefit that the Executive would have received under Section III(A) had the Executive been employed by the Bank until October 5, 2025. The lump sum payment shall be made on the first day of the month following the date of Change In Control.

However, if any one person or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Bank, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons will not be considered to cause a Change In Control. Further, an increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the Bank acquires its stock in exchange for property will not be considered to cause a Change In Control. Transfers of Bank stock on account of death, gift, transfers between family members or transfers to a qualified retirement plan maintained by the Bank shall not be considered in determining whether there has been a Change In Control. For purposes of this Section, the term “Bank” shall include any holding company, meaning any corporation that is a majority shareholder of the Bank.

XII.CODE SECTION 280G
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if all or a portion of any benefit payment under this Agreement, alone or together with any other compensation or benefit, will be a non-deductible expense to the Bank by reason of Code Section 280G, the Bank shall reduce the benefits payable under this Agreement as necessary to avoid the application of Section 280G.

In the event that Executive breaches his obligations under this section, Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to not pay any benefit due Executive under this Agreement.
XIV.PROHIBITION AGAINST ACCELERATION
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither the time nor the scheduling of payments under this Agreement may be accelerated unless such acceleration is permissible under Code Section 409A, other applicable law and the terms of this Agreement.

The Insured (or assignee) shall have the right and power to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive the Insured’s share of the proceeds payable upon the death of the Insured, and to elect and change a payment option for such beneficiary, subject to any right or interest the Bank may have in such proceeds, as provided in this Agreement.

VI.DIVISION OF DEATH PROCEEDS
Subject to Paragraphs VII and IX herein, the division of the death proceeds of the policy is as follows:
A.Upon death of the Insured prior to a Termination of Employment with the Bank, the Insured's beneficiary(ies), designated in accordance with Paragraph III, shall be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to the present value of the Retirement Benefit under that certain Executive Salary Continuation Agreement between the Bank and Insured dated of even date herewith (the “Salary Continuation Agreement”), assuming that the payments would begin on the date of death and continue for sixty months, or one hundred percent (100%) of the total proceeds of the policy as of the date of death, whichever amount is less. Present value calculations shall be made using the assumptions set forth in Section IX(K) of the Salary Continuation Agreement.
B.Upon death of the Insured following Retirement or Termination of Employment with the Bank, the Insured's beneficiary(ies), designated in accordance with Paragraph III, shall be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to the present value of one hundred percent (100%) of the sum of all remaining payments, if any, that would have been made under the Salary Continuation Agreement but for the Insured’s death, or one hundred percent (100%) of the total proceeds of the policy as of the date of death, whichever amount is less. If no benefits are payable to the Insured pursuant to the Salary Continuation Agreement following Termination of Employment, no benefit shall be payable under this Agreement. Present value calculations shall be made using the assumptions set forth in Section IX(K) of the Salary Continuation Agreement.
C.The Bank shall be entitled to the remainder of such proceeds.
D.The Bank and the Insured (or assignees) shall share in any interest due on the death proceeds on a pro rata basis as the proceeds due each respectively bears to the total proceeds, excluding any such interest.

VII.DIVISION OF THE CASH SURRENDER VALUE OF THE POLICY
During the Insured’s life, the Bank shall at all times be entitled to an amount equal to the policy’s cash value, as that term is defined in the policy contract, less any policy loans and unpaid interest or cash withdrawals previously incurred by the Bank and any applicable surrender charges.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon Insured’s death, the proceeds of the policy shall first be used to satisfy the obligations to Insured’s beneficiaries set forth in Paragraph VI.
VIII.RIGHTS OF PARTIES WHERE POLICY ENDOWMENT OR ANNUITY ELECTION EXISTS
In the event the policy involves an endowment or annuity element, the Bank’s right and interest in any endowment proceeds or annuity benefits, on expiration of the deferment period, shall be determined under the provisions of this Agreement by regarding such endowment proceeds or the commuted value of such annuity benefits as the policy’s cash value.
