These forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” and “potential,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “should,” “could,” or “may.” Forward-looking statements include statements of our goals, intentions and expectations; statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth, and operating strategies; statements regarding the quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

Forward-looking statements reflect our expectation or prediction of future conditions, events, or results based on information currently available. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in such statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks identified in Item 1A of the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Item 1A of Part II of the Company’s March 31, 2021 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the following:

general business and economic conditions nationally or in the markets that the Company serves could adversely affect, among other things, real estate prices, unemployment levels, and consumer and business confidence, which could lead to decreases in the demand for loans, deposits, and other financial services that we provide and increases in loan delinquencies and defaults;
changes or volatility in the capital markets and interest rates may adversely impact the value of securities, loans, deposits, and other financial instruments and the interest rate sensitivity of our balance sheet as well as our liquidity;
our liquidity requirements could be adversely affected by changes in our assets and liabilities;
our investment securities portfolio is subject to credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk as well as changes in the estimates we use to value certain of the securities in our portfolio;
the effect of legislative or regulatory developments including changes in laws concerning taxes, banking, securities, insurance, and other aspects of the financial services industry;
competitive factors among financial services companies, including product and pricing pressures, and our ability to attract, develop, and retain qualified banking professionals;
the effect of fiscal and governmental policies of the U.S. federal government;
the effect of any mergers, acquisitions, or other transactions to which we or our subsidiaries may from time to time be a party;
potential delays or the failure to obtain the necessary regulatory and stockholder approvals for the merger with Shore;
costs and potential disruption or interruption of operations due to cyber-security incidents;
the effect of any change in federal government enforcement of federal laws affecting the medical-use cannabis industry;
costs and potential disruption or interruption of operations due to global pandemics such as COVID-19;

Severn Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

See the Glossary of Defined Terms at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for terms used throughout the consolidated financial statements and related notes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to GAAP and prevailing practices within the financial services industry for interim financial information and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements and prevailing practices within the banking industry. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (comprising only of those of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 or any other interim or future period. Events occurring after the date of the financial statements up to the date the financial statements were available to be issued were considered in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Severn Bancorp, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mid Maryland Title Company, Inc., SBI Mortgage Company, and Severn Savings Bank, FSB, along with the Bank’s subsidiaries, Homeowners Title and Escrow Corporation, Severn Financial Services Corporation, SSB Realty Holdings, LLC, SSB Realty Holdings II, LLC, and HS West, LLC. Also included are the accounts of SBI Mortgage Company’s subsidiary, Crownsville Development Corporation, and its subsidiary, Crownsville Holdings I, LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to exercise significant judgment or discretion or make significant assumptions and estimates based on the information available that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. The accounting policies we view as critical are those relating to the Allowance, the valuation of real estate acquired through foreclosure, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Cash Flows

For reporting purposes, assets grouped in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition under the captions “Cash and due from banks” and “Federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other banks” are considered cash or cash equivalents. For financial statement purposes, these assets are carried at cost. Federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other banks generally have overnight maturities and are in excess of amounts that would be recoverable under FDIC insurance.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts previously reported to conform to current period presentation.

2020 Correction of Prior Period Immaterial Error

As disclosed in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, during 2020, the Company corrected an immaterial accounting error related to $885,000 of DTAs for state NOLs recorded in years prior to 2020 by the holding company and which accumulated over the span of many years. As the holding company has not previously generated taxable income and continues to generate no taxable income, it has no ability to utilize the NOLs. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the correction of this immaterial accounting error is reflected in the opening retained earnings and total stockholders’ equity balances for 2020, which are $885,000 lower than the amounts previously report in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

COVID-19 Risks and Uncertainties

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, which continues to spread in different variants throughout the U.S. and around the world. The declaration of a global pandemic indicates that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted and could continue to adversely impact a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. In March 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee reduced the target federal funds rate to a target range of 0% to 0.25% to assist the deteriorating economy brought about by the pandemic. The reduction in interest rates and other effects of the COVID-19 outbreak have not significantly negatively impacted our financial condition or results of operations to date. However, the pandemic persists and effects of it may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations in the future. As a result of the spread of COVID-19, economic uncertainties have arisen which could negatively impact net interest income, noninterest income, credit quality, the Allowance, and the provision for loan losses. Additionally, there could be a potential for goodwill impairment. Other financial impact could occur though such potential impact is unknown at this time. We continue to monitor the environment and, in particular, our loan portfolio, including segments that are most vulnerable to the effects of the pandemic.

In May 2021, the Governor of Maryland lifted all COVID-19 related restrictions. The State of Emergency in Maryland declared at the beginning of the pandemic ended July 1, 2021.

Due to the COVID-19 Delta Variant and the uptick in positive cases of the virus, at the beginning of August, certain local jurisdictions (including Anne Arundel County, Maryland, our primary market area) have issued indoor mask mandates for all government buildings, libraries, and senior centers and strongly encourage mask wearing in all other indoor areas. At this time, it is unknown how long the mandates will stay in place.

Asset Sale

On January 1, 2021, we sold the majority of the assets of our real estate company, Hyatt Commercial, with the exception of cash and certain fixed assets. At the time of the sale, Hyatt Commercial had $1.6 million in assets, $1.1 million of which was in cash that stayed with the Company. The remainder of the net assets were sold for $334,000 and we realized a loss of approximately $34,000.

Proposed Merger with Shore Bancshares, Inc.

On March 3, 2021, the Company and Shore entered into an agreement and plan of merger that provides that the Company will merge with and into Shore, with Shore as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, the Bank will merge with and into Shore’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Shore United Bank, with Shore United Bank as the surviving bank (the “Bank Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock will be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.6207 shares of Shore common stock and (ii) $1.59 in cash, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any. The merger consideration is 85% stock and 15% cash.

The completion of the Merger and the Bank Merger are subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company’s stockholders, Shore’s stockholders, and the receipt of regulatory approvals or waivers from the OCC and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Prior to the completion of the Bank Merger, Shore United Bank

must obtain the approval of the OCC to convert to a national banking association. The Merger is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements Adopted

In December 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for incomes taxes by removing certain exceptions in the current codification. The standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In January 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments – Equity securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which clarifies the interaction between the three Topics. The standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of ASU No. 2020-01 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Pronouncements Issued

In September 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which sets forth the CECL model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In July 2019, the FASB issued a proposal to delay the implementation for smaller reporting companies such as us until January 2023. In October, 2019, that proposal was finalized with the issuance of ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. ASU 2019-05 was issued to address concerns with the adoption of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2019-05 gives entities the ability to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10 for certain existing financial assets upon transition to ASU 2016-03. Financial assets that are eligible for this fair value election are those that qualify under Subtopic 825-10 and are within the scope of Subtopic 326-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measured at Amortized Costs. An exception to this is HTM debt securities, which do not qualify for this transition election. The effective date for the amendment is the same as the effective date in ASU 2016-03. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates. ASU 2019-10 was issued to defer the effective dates for certain guidance for certain entities. The amendments in this update amend the mandatory effective dates for ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, for entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.

We have contracted with a third party vendor to assist in the transition to CECL. The Bank has purchased the third party vendor’s CECL software and has separately contracted with their advisory services group to help with the installation and transition. As the Bank has been using other software of this specific vendor, they have access to the Bank’s historical data. As the third party vendor has many financial institution clients, they will be able to provide peer group data to the extent the Bank’s data is not sufficient to make the many determinations required under CECL. We are continuing the process of determining appropriate loan pools and economic factors to be used for CECL calculations. Although the implementation of CECL has been delayed, the Bank is continuing with the implementation at a pace to ensure that we will be in position to completely transition to CECL by the required date.

While we are still in the process of evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements, it is quite possible that the Allowance will increase upon adoption given that the Allowance will be required to cover the full remaining expected life of the portfolio upon adoption, rather than the incurred loss model under current GAAP. The extent of this increase is still being evaluated and will depend on economic conditions and the composition of our loan portfolio at the time of adoption.

In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. ASU 2019-11 was issued to address issues raised by stakeholders during the implementation of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2019-11 provides transition relief when adjusting the effective interest rate for TDRs that exist as of the adoption date, extends the disclosure relief in ASU 2019-04 to disclose accrued interest receivable balances separately from the amortized cost basis to additional disclosures involving amortized cost basis, and provides clarification regarding application of the guidance in paragraph 326-20-35-6 for financial assets secured by collateral maintenance provisions that provide a practical expedient to measure the estimate of expected credit losses by comparing the amortized cost basis of a financial asset and the fair value of collateral securing the financial asset as of the reporting date. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendment are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in ASU 2016-13.

We did not have any HTM securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2020. While there were no securities classified as HTM in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2020, certain securities are shown as being in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more at June 30, 2021, due to the transfer of securities from AFS to HTM, as previously mentioned.

All of the securities that are currently in a gross unrealized loss position are so due to declines in fair values resulting from changes in interest rates or increased liquidity spreads since the time they were purchased. We have the intent and ability to hold these debt securities to maturity (including the AFS securities) and do not intend to sell, nor do we believe it will be more likely than not that we will be required to sell, any impaired securities prior to a recovery of amortized cost. We expect these securities will be repaid in full, with no losses realized. As such, management considers any impairment to be temporary.

Contractual maturities of debt securities at June 30, 2021 are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Certain loans in the amount of $106.9 million have been pledged under a blanket floating lien to the FHLB as collateral against advances at June 30, 2021.

At June 30, 2021, the Bank was servicing $279.1 million in loans for FNMA and $49.5 million in loans for FHLMC. At December 31, 2020, the Bank was servicing $159.8 million in loans for FNMA and $36.9 in loans for FHLMC. These loans are not included in the table above. Also not included in the table above were MSRs of $3.6 million and $1.5 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Credit Quality

An Allowance is provided through charges to income in an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based on evaluations of the collectability of loans and prior loan loss experience. Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the Allowance that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The methodology takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay. Determining the amount of the Allowance requires the use of estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. While management uses all available information to estimate losses on loans, future additions to the Allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and our actual loss experience. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the Allowance as an integral part of their examination process. Such agencies may require us to recognize additions to the Allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Management believes the Allowance is adequate as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

For purposes of determining the Allowance, we have segmented our loan portfolio by product type. Our portfolio loan segments are residential mortgage, commercial, commercial real estate, ADC, Home equity/2nds, and consumer. We have looked at all segments and have determined that no additional subcategorization is warranted based upon our consideration of risk. Our portfolio classes are the same as our portfolio segments.

15

Table of Contents

Inherent Credit Risks

The inherent credit risks within the loan portfolio vary depending upon the loan class as follows:

Residential mortgage - secured by one to four family dwelling units. The loans generally have limited risk as they are secured by first mortgages on the unit, which are generally the primary residence of the borrower, and are generally at an LTV of 80% or less.

Commercial - underwritten in accordance with our policies and include evaluating historical and projected profitability and cash flow to determine the borrower’s ability to repay the obligation as agreed. Commercial loans are made primarily based on the identified cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral supporting the loan. Accordingly, the repayment of a commercial loan depends primarily on the creditworthiness of the borrower (and any guarantors), while liquidation of collateral is a secondary and often insufficient source of repayment. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow dependent and, secondarily, as loans secured by real-estate and/or other assets. Repayment of these loans is generally dependent upon the principal business conducted on the property securing the loan. Line of credit loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or the economy in general. Management monitors and evaluates line of credit loans based on collateral and risk-rating criteria.

SBA PPP - We have participated in the PPP and have originated such loans that are expected to be 100% guaranteed by the SBA. These loans have a 2 year (origination prior to June 5, 2020) or 5 year (originated after June 5, 2020) term at a 1.0% rate of interest with forgiveness by the SBA at the end of the term. This loan program was designed to assist our commercial customers in remaining operational during this time of uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2021, we held $36.9 million in PPP loans in our loan portfolio, all of which have interest forbearance.

Commercial real estate - subject to the underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial, in addition to those underwriting standards for real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as loans secured by real estate and secondarily as cash flow dependent. As repayment of these loans is generally dependent upon the successful operation of the property securing the loan, we look closely at the cash flows generated by the property securing the loan, although the primary underwriting criteria for these loan types is the sufficient value of the underlying collateral. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or the economy in general. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral and risk-rating criteria. The Bank also utilizes third-party experts to provide environmental and market valuations. The nature of commercial real estate loans makes them more difficult to monitor and evaluate.

ADC - underwritten in accordance with our underwriting policies which include a financial analysis of the developers, property owners, construction cost estimates, and independent appraisal valuations. These loans will rely on the value associated with the project upon completion. These cost and valuation estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans generally involve the disbursement of substantial funds over a short period of time with repayment substantially dependent upon the success of the completed project rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and interest. Additionally, land is underwritten according to our policies which include independent appraisal valuations as well as the estimated value associated with the land upon completion of development. These cost and valuation estimates may be inaccurate.

The sources of repayment of these loans is typically permanent financing expected to be obtained upon completion or sales of developed property. These loans are closely monitored by onsite inspections and are considered to be of a higher risk than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to general economic conditions, availability of long-term financing, interest rate sensitivity, and governmental regulation of real property.

If the Bank is forced to foreclose on a project prior to or at completion due to a default, there can be no assurance that the Bank will be able to recover all of the unpaid balance of the loan as well as related foreclosure and holding costs. In addition, the Bank may be required to fund additional amounts to complete the project and may have to hold the property for an unspecified period of time.

16

Table of Contents

Home equity/2nds - subject to the underwriting standards and processes similar to residential mortgages and secured by one to four family dwelling units. Home equity/2nds loans have greater risk than residential mortgages as a result of the Bank generally being in a second lien position.

Consumer - consist of loans to individuals through the Bank’s retail network and typically unsecured or secured by personal property. Consumer loans have a greater credit risk than residential loans because of the lower value of the underlying collateral, if any.

COVID-19 - The COVID-19 pandemic has created additional risk for all loan segments due to the economic downturn, both nationally and locally. Many businesses were temporarily shut down and many people were unemployed during the national and local “stay at home” orders that were in place in many areas during the beginning of the second quarter of 2020. Although the Governor of the State of Maryland has lifted all COVID-19 related restrictions, many businesses are operating at reduced capacities and many people remain unemployed. During this continuing time of economic uncertainty, borrowers have faced and could continue to face extended periods of unemployment and may not be able to meet their loan obligations. Additionally, real estate collateral values could significantly decline and full repayment of loans could be in doubt. At this time, we have not experienced any negative impact to asset quality as a result of the pandemic. However, the ongoing pandemic could still result in a deterioration in credit quality. The effects of the pandemic may require us to fund additional increases in the Allowance in future periods. Management will continue to evaluate the adequacy of the Allowance as more economic data becomes available and as changes within our portfolio are known.

Section 4013 of the CARES Act provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a TDR pursuant to GAAP in certain circumstances. In addition, OCC Bulletin 2020-35 provides more limited circumstances in which a loan modification is not subject to classification as a TDR.

CARES Act Section 4013 and OCC Bulletin 2020-35 forbearance agreements are available to both qualified commercial and consumer loan borrowers. Due to the widespread impact of COVID-19, we have had loan borrowers seek loan forbearance or loan modification agreements under the CARES Act. As the COVID-19 restrictions have ended and the State of Maryland is returning to relatively normal capacities, such loans have significantly reduced. We held $1.4 million in loans modified under the CARES Act as of June 30, 2021 compared to $23.4 million at December 31, 2020. These loans have an interest deferral component the range of which is from one month to six months. We have recorded $88,000 in interest that has not yet been collected on $6.2 million in loans due to the forbearance agreements.

The following tables present, by portfolio segment, the changes in the Allowance and the recorded investment in loans:

Note 4 - Regulatory Matters

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial condition. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

In July 2013, federal bank regulatory agencies issued final rules to revise their risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with Basel III. On January 1, 2015, the Basel III rules became effective and included transition provisions which implement certain portions of the rules through January 1, 2019. Under the final rules, the effects of certain accumulated other comprehensive income items are not excluded,

22

Table of Contents

however, banking organizations like us that are not considered “advanced approaches” banking organizations may make a one-time permanent election to continue to exclude these items, which we have done.

The Basel III rules also establish a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% above the regulatory minimum capital requirements, which must consist entirely of common equity Tier 1 capital. An institution would be subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses to executive officers if its capital level falls below the buffer amount. These limitations establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions.

As a result of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, the federal banking agencies have developed a “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” (the ratio of a bank’s tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets) for financial institutions with assets of less than $10 billion. A “qualifying community bank” that exceeds this ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with all other capital and leverage requirements, including the capital requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under Prompt Corrective Action statutes. The federal banking agencies have set the Community Bank Leverage Ratio at 9%. A financial institution can elect to be subject to this new definition, which we did on January 1, 2020. The CARES Act temporarily lowered this ratio to 8% beginning in the second quarter of 2020. The ratio then rose to 8.5% for 2021 and re-establishes at 9% on January 1, 2022.

As of the date of our last regulatory exam, the Bank was considered “well capitalized” and as of June 30, 2021, the Bank continued to meet the requirements to be considered “well capitalized” based on applicable U.S. regulatory capital ratio requirements.

The Bank’s regulatory capital amounts and ratios were as follows:

Note 5 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method. There were 173,250 shares that were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. There were no anti-dilutive shares for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Note 6 - Stock-Based Compensation

We maintain a stock-based compensation plan for directors, officers, and other key employees of the Company. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that could be issued with respect to the awards granted under the Plan is 500,000. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company has the ability to grant various stock compensation incentives, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock. The Plan was granted under terms and conditions determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Under the Plan, stock options generally have a maximum term of ten years and are granted with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date the options are granted. Generally, options granted to directors, officers, and employees of the Company vest over a five-year period, although the Compensation Committee has the authority to provide for different vesting schedules.

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense in the Statement of Income at fair value. Additionally, we are required to recognize the expense of employee services received in share-based payment transactions and measure the expense based on the grant date fair value of the award. The expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Stock-based compensation expense included in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $23,000 and $34,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense included in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $46,000 and $68,000, respectively.

Information regarding our stock-based compensation plan is as follows as of and for the six months ended June 30:

Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement we have in each class of financial instruments.

Our exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by the other party to the above mentioned financial instruments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. Unless otherwise noted, we require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank guaranteeing performance by a customer to various municipalities. These guarantees are issued primarily to support performance arrangements and are limited to real estate transactions. The majority of these standby letters of credit expire within twelve months, with automatic one year renewals. The Bank has the option to stop any automatic renewal. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan commitments. The Bank requires collateral supporting these letters of credit as deemed necessary. Management believes, except for certain standby letters of credit, that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of such collateral would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued was $8,000.

Home equity lines of credit are loan commitments to individuals as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments under home equity lines expire ten years after the date the loan closes and are secured by real estate. We evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.

Unadvanced construction commitments are loan commitments made to borrowers for both residential and commercial projects that are either in process or are expected to begin construction shortly.

Lines of credit are loan commitments to individuals and companies as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit have a fixed expiration date. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.

The Bank has entered into several agreements to sell mortgage loans to third parties. These agreements contain limited provisions that require the Bank to repurchase a loan if the loan becomes delinquent within a period ranging generally from 120 to 180 days after the sale date depending on the investor agreement. The credit risk involved in these financial instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. We did not repurchase any loans during the six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

Other Contingencies

The Company provides banking services to customers who do business in the medical-use cannabis industry. While the growing, processing, and sales of medical-use cannabis is legal in the state of Maryland, the business currently violates Federal law. The Company may be deemed to be aiding and abetting illegal activities through the services that it provides to these customers. The strict enforcement of Federal laws regarding medical-use cannabis would likely result in the Company’s inability to continue to provide banking services to these customers and the Company could have legal action taken against it by the Federal government, including imprisonment and fines. There is an uncertainty of the potential impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements if the Federal government takes actions against the Company. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has not accrued an amount for the potential impact of any such actions.

Following is a summary of the level of business activities with our medical-use cannabis customers:

Deposit and loan balances at June 30, 2021 were approximately $68.4 million, or 6.9% of total deposits, and $18.9 million, or 3.1% of total loans, respectively. Deposit and loan balances at December 31, 2020 were approximately $42.8 million, or 5.3% of total deposits, and $18.7 million, or 2.9% of total loans, respectively.
Interest and noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were approximately $258,000 and $567,000, respectively. Interest and noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were approximately $358,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.
Interest and noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were approximately $477,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. Interest and noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were approximately $513,000 and $1.6 million, respectively.
The volume of deposits in the accounts of medical-use cannabis customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $172.7 million and $344.0 million, respectively. The volume of deposits in the accounts of medical-use cannabis customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $132.0 million and $232.8 million, respectively.

Note 8 - Derivatives

We maintain and account for derivatives, in the form of IRLCs and forward contracts, in accordance with the FASB guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. We recognize gains and losses on IRLCs and forward contracts through mortgage-banking revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

IRLCs on mortgage loans that we intend to sell in the secondary market are considered derivatives. We are exposed to price risk from the time a mortgage loan closes until the time the loan is sold. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 14 days to 120 days. For these IRLCs, as well as our closed loan inventory, we attempt to protect the Bank from changes in interest rates through the use of TBA securities, which are forward contracts, as well as loan level commitments in the form of best efforts and mandatory delivery forward contracts, where applicable. These assets and liabilities are included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively.

Note 9 – Segments

We are in the business of providing financial services and we operate in two business segments – commercial and consumer banking and mortgage-banking. Commercial and consumer banking is conducted through the Bank and involves delivering a broad range of financial services, including lending and deposit taking, to individuals and commercial enterprises. This segment also includes our treasury and administrative functions. Mortgage-banking is conducted through the Bank’s secondary marketing department and involves originating first- and second-lien residential mortgages for sale in the secondary market and to the Bank.

Note 10 - Fair Value

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

A fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods is used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair market hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported with little or no market activity).

28

Table of Contents

An asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

We record transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period in which the change in significant inputs occurs.

AFS Securities

The estimated fair values of AFS debt securities are obtained from a nationally-recognized pricing service. This pricing service develops estimated fair values by analyzing like securities and applying available market information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing to prepare valuations. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things, and are based on market data obtained from sources independent from the Bank. U.S Treasury Securities are considered Level 1 and all of our other securities are considered Level 2. The Level 2 investments in the Bank’s portfolio are priced using those inputs that, based on the analysis prepared by the pricing service, reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the assets. The Bank has determined that the Level 2 designation is appropriate for these securities because, as with most fixed-income securities, those in the Bank’s portfolio are not exchange-traded, and such nonexchange-traded fixed income securities are typically priced by correlation to observed market data.

30

Table of Contents

LHFS

LHFS are carried at fair value, which is determined based on outstanding investor commitments or, in the absence of such commitments, on current investor yield requirements or third party pricing models.

MSRs

The fair value of MSRs is determined using a valuation model administered by a third party that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, default rates, cost to service (including delinquency and foreclosure costs), escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, and other ancillary income such as late fees. Management reviews all significant assumptions on a monthly basis. Mortgage loan prepayment speed, a key assumption in the model, is the annual rate at which borrowers are forecasted to repay their mortgage loan principal. The discount rate used to determine the present value of estimated future net servicing income, another key assumption in the model, is an estimate of the required rate of return investors in the market would require for an asset with similar risk. Both assumptions can, and generally will, change as market conditions and interest rates change.

IRLCs

We utilize a third party specialist model to estimate the fair value of our IRLCs, which are valued based upon mandatory pricing quotes from correspondent lenders less estimated costs to process and settle the loan. Fair value is adjusted for the estimated probability of the loan closing with the borrower.

Forward Contracts

To avoid interest rate risk, we hedge the open locked/closed positions with TBA forward trades. On a regular basis, we allocate disbursed loans to mandatory commitments with government-sponsored enterprises (“GSE”) and private investors delivering the loans within 120 days of origination to maximize interest earnings. For a small percentage of our business, we enter into best efforts forward sales commitments with investors at the time we make an IRLC to a borrower. Once a loan has been closed and funded, the best efforts commitments convert to mandatory forward sales commitments. The mandatory commitments are derivatives and we measure and report them at fair value. Fair value is based on the gain or loss that would occur if we were to pair-off the transaction with the investor at the measurement date. This is a level 2 input. We have elected to measure and report best efforts commitments, where applicable, at fair value using a valuation methodology similar to that used for mandatory commitments.

Market assumptions utilized in the fair value measurement of the reporting entity’s residential mortgage derivatives, inclusive of IRLCs, Closed Loan Inventory, TBA derivative trades, and Mandatory Forwards may be subject to investor overlays that may result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Generally such overlays are announced with advance notice in order to include the risk adjuster, however, there are times when announcements are mandated resulting in a lower fair value measurement. Additionally market assumptions such as spec pool payups may result in a significantly higher fair value measurement at time of loan allocation to specific trades.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans are those for which we have measured impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows or on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. If it is determined that the repayment of the loan will be provided solely by the underlying collateral, and there are no other available and reliable sources of repayment, the loan is considered collateral dependent. Impaired loans that are considered collateral dependent are carried at LCM. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and/or accounts receivable. The use of independent appraisals and management’s best judgment are significant inputs in arriving at the fair value measure of the underlying collateral and impaired loans are therefore classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

For such loans that are classified as impaired, an Allowance is established when the present value of the expected future cash flows of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. For such impaired loans that are classified as collateral dependent, an Allowance is established when the current market value of the underlying collateral less its estimated disposal costs has not been finalized, but management determines that it is likely that the value is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Once the net collateral value has been determined, a charge-off is taken for the difference between the net collateral value and the carrying value of the loan.

Real Estate Acquired Through Foreclosure

We record foreclosed real estate assets at the fair value less estimated selling costs on their acquisition dates and at the lower of such initial amount or estimated fair value less estimated selling costs thereafter. We generally obtain certified external appraisals of real estate acquired through foreclosure and estimate fair value using those appraisals. Other valuation sources may be used, including broker price opinions, letters of intent, and executed sale agreements.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank had loan funding commitments of $158.6 million and $121.8 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit outstanding of $5.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The fair value of these commitments is nominal.

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from a one-time sale of our total holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect estimates. The above information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of our assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between our disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

There were no transfers between any of Levels 1, 2 and 3 for the three or six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020 or for the year ended December 31, 2020.

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

The following discussion should be read and reviewed in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in Severn Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. See the Glossary of Defined Terms at the beginning of this Report for terms used throughout the consolidated financial statements and related notes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Company

The Company is a savings and loan holding company chartered as a corporation in the state of Maryland in 1990. It conducts business primarily through three subsidiaries, the Bank, the Title Company, and SBI. The Title Company is a real estate settlement company that handles commercial and residential real estate settlements in Maryland. SBI holds mortgages that do not meet the underwriting criteria of the Bank, and is the parent company of Crownsville, which is doing business as Annapolis Equity Group and acquires real estate for syndication and investment purposes. We maintained seven branches in Anne Arundel County, Maryland at June 30, 2021. The branches offer a full range of deposit products and we originate mortgages in the Bank’s primary market of Anne Arundel County, Maryland and, to a lesser extent, in other parts of Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia. As of June 30, 2021, we had 175 full-time equivalent employees.

Asset Sale

On January 1, 2021, we sold the majority of the assets of our real estate company, Hyatt Commercial, with the exception of cash and certain fixed assets. At the time of the sale, Hyatt Commercial had $1.6 million in assets, $1.1 million of which was in cash that stayed with the Company. The remainder of the net assets were sold for $334,000 and we realized a loss of approximately $34,000.

Proposed Merger with Shore Bancshares, Inc.

On March 3, 2021, the Company and Shore entered into an agreement and plan of merger that provides that the Company will merge with and into Shore, with Shore as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, the Bank will merge with and into Shore’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Shore United Bank, with Shore United Bank as the surviving bank (the “Bank Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock will be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.6207 shares of Shore common stock and (ii) $1.59 in cash, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any. The merger consideration is 85% stock and 15% cash.

The completion of the Merger and the Bank Merger are subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company’s stockholders, Shore’s stockholders, and the receipt of regulatory approvals or waivers from the OCC and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Prior to the completion of the Bank Merger, Shore United Bank must obtain the approval of the OCC to convert to a national banking association. The Merger is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Significant Developments - COVID-19

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, which continues to spread in different variants throughout the U.S. and around the world. The declaration of a global pandemic indicates that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. has had a complex and significant adverse impact on the economy. To date, we have not experienced any significant adverse effects in our financial condition or results of operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it may still have an adverse impact on the banking industry and the Company in future fiscal periods.

Effects on Our Market Areas 

 

Our commercial and consumer banking products and services are offered primarily in Maryland, where individual and governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to a broad curtailment of economic activity since March 2020. In Maryland, the Governor issued a series of orders, including ordering schools to close for an indefinite period of time and an order that, subject to limited exceptions, all individuals stay at home and non-essential businesses cease all activities for an indeterminate amount of time. In May 2021, the Governor of Maryland lifted all COVID-19 related restrictions and lifted the State of Emergency in Maryland effective July 1, 2021.

Due to the COVID-19 Delta Variant and the uptick in positive cases of the virus, at the beginning of August, certain local jurisdictions (including Anne Arundel County, Maryland, our primary market area) have issued indoor mask mandates for all government buildings, libraries, and senior centers and strongly encourage mask wearing in all other indoor areas. At this time, it is unknown how long the mandates will stay in place.

We have experienced an increase in unemployment levels in our market area as a result of the curtailment of business activities, the levels of which have not substantially dropped since the end of the COVID-19 related restrictions. It is unknown how far into the future to expect the unemployment levels in our market area to remain elevated.

 

Policy and Regulatory Developments

 

Federal, state and local governments and regulatory authorities have enacted and issued a range of policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the following:

 

 

The FRB decreased the range for the federal funds target rate in March 2020 to the current target range of 0.0% - 0.25%.

 

 

On March 27, 2020, the President of the U.S. signed the CARES Act, which established a $2.0 trillion economic stimulus package, including cash payments to individuals, supplemental unemployment insurance benefits and a $659.0 billion loan program (revised by subsequent legislation) administered through the SBA, referred to as the PPP. Under the PPP, small businesses, sole proprietorships, independent contractors and self-employed individuals were able to apply for forgivable loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders that enroll in the program, subject to numerous limitations and eligibility criteria. PPP loans have an interest rate of 1.0%, a two-year or five-year loan term to maturity, and principal and interest payments deferred until the lender receives the applicable forgiven amount or the end of the borrower's loan forgiveness. PPP loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA. The Bank participates as a lender in the PPP. In addition, the CARES Act provides financial institutions the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under GAAP related to TDRs for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 extended the period established by the CARES Act for consideration of TDR identification to January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the date the national COVID-19 pandemic emergency terminates.

  

On April 7, 2020, federal banking regulators issued a revised Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions, which, among other things, encouraged financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19, and stated that institutions generally do not need to categorize COVID-19-related modifications as TDRs and that the agencies will not direct supervised institutions to automatically categorize all COVID-19 related loan modifications as TDRs. On August 3, 2020, Interagency Statement on Additional Loan Accommodations Related to COVID-19 was issued that addresses loans nearing the end of their original relief period and provides guidance for extension of such relief period.

On April 9, 2020, the FRB announced additional measures aimed at supporting small and mid-sized businesses, as well as state and local governments impacted by COVID-19. The FRB announced the Main Street Business Lending Program, which established two new loan facilities intended to facilitate lending to small and mid-sized businesses: (1) the MSNLF and (2) the MSELF. MSNLF loans were unsecured term loans originated on or after April 8, 2020, while MSELF loans were provided as upsized tranches of existing loans originated before April 8, 2020. The combined size of the program was $600.0 billion. The program was designed for businesses with up to 10,000 employees or $2.5 billion in 2019 revenues. To obtain a loan, borrowers had to confirm that they were seeking financial support because of COVID-19 and that they would not use proceeds from the loan to pay off debt. The FRB also stated that it would provide additional funding to banks offering PPP loans to help struggling small businesses. The PPPLF was created by the FRB on April 9, 2020 to facilitate lending by participating financial institutions to small businesses under the PPP of the CARES Act. Under the facility, the FRB lent to participating financial institutions on a non-recourse basis, taking PPP loans as collateral. Lenders participating in the PPP were able to exclude loans financed by the facility from their leverage ratio. Due to our high liquidity levels, we did not participate in the PPPLF.

 

 

 

 

 

The FRB also created a Municipal Liquidity Facility to support state and local governments with up to $500.0 billion in lending, with the Treasury Department backing $35.0 billion for the facility using funds appropriated by the CARES Act. The facility made short-term financing available to cities with a population of more than one million or counties with a population of greater than two million. The FRB expanded both the size and scope of its Primary and Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facilities to support up to $750.0 billion in credit to corporate debt issuers. This allowed companies that were investment grade before the onset of COVID-19 but then subsequently downgraded after March 22, 2020 to gain access to the facility. Finally, the FRB announced that its Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility would be scaled up in scope to include the triple A-rated tranche of commercial mortgage-backed securities and newly issued collateralized loan obligations. The size of the facility was $100.0 billion.

Effects on Our Business

 

The COVID-19 pandemic and the specific developments referred to above have not had a significant impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The continuing pandemic could, however, continue to adversely impact a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. In particular, we anticipate that a significant portion of the Bank’s borrowers in the hotel, restaurant, and retail industries could continue to endure significant economic distress, which has caused, and may continue to cause, them to draw on their existing lines of credit and adversely affect their ability to repay existing indebtedness, and is expected to adversely impact the value of collateral. These developments, together with economic conditions generally, are also expected to impact our commercial real estate portfolio, particularly with respect to real estate with exposure to these industries, and the value of certain collateral securing our loans. As a result, we anticipate that our financial condition, capital levels, and results of operations could be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2021, we held $4.1 million, $15.5 million, and $49.1 million in hotel, restaurant, and retail industry loans, respectively.

 

Our Response

 

We have taken numerous steps in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the following:

 

 

actively working with loan customers to evaluate prudent loan modification terms;

 

 

continuing to promote our digital banking options through our website. Customers are encouraged to utilize online and mobile banking tools, and our customer service and retail departments are fully staffed and available to assist customers remotely;

 

acted as a participating lender in both rounds of the PPP. We believe it is our responsibility as a community bank to assist the SBA in the distribution of funds authorized under the CARES Act and subsequent

37

Table of Contents

legislation to our customers and communities, which we have carried out in a prudent and responsible manner. As of June 30, 2021, we held $36.9 million in PPP loans in our loan portfolio, and are working diligently with customers on the loan forgiveness aspect of the program (see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 3 – Loans Receivable and the Allowance” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Financial Condition – Credit Risk Management and the Allowance – TDRs” later in this Item for more information regarding PPP loans and loan modifications under the CARES Act); and

  

closing all branches to customer activity until May 3, 2021, except for drive-up and appointment only services. On May 3, 2021, we re-opened our branches to customers unrestricted except for social distancing and masks. On July 1, 2021, we re-opened our branches without restrictions. We have continued to pay all employees according to their normal work schedule, even if their work has been reduced. No employees have been furloughed. Employees whose job responsibilities can be effectively carried out remotely are working from home. Employees whose critical duties require their continued presence on-site are observing social distancing and cleaning protocols.

Overview

The Company provides a wide range of personal and commercial banking services. Personal services include mortgage lending and various other lending services as well as deposit products such as personal Internet banking and online bill pay, checking accounts, individual retirement accounts, money market accounts, and savings and time deposit accounts. Commercial services include commercial secured and unsecured lending services as well as business Internet banking, corporate cash management services, and deposit services to commercial customers, including those in the medical-use cannabis industry. The Company also provides ATMs, credit cards, debit cards, safe deposit boxes, and telephone banking, among other products and services.

We have experienced increased profitability during the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to mortgage-banking activities. Additionally, we reversed $1.1 million in provision for loan losses. Net interest income increased $1.3 million primarily due to a declining interest rate environment, resulting from rate reductions by the FRB in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly reduced our interest expense. Noninterest expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due primarily to increased investments in staff and increased commissions corresponding to the increased mortgage production. Additionally, we recognized $329,000 in merger related expenses. See discussion of pending merger above.

The Company expects to experience similar market conditions during the remainder of 2021, provided interest rates do not increase or decrease rapidly. If interest rates change rapidly, demand for loans may fluctuate and our interest rate spread could change significantly. Additionally, significant changes in interest rates could also affect the origination volumes related to our mortgage-banking activities. We continue to manage loan and deposit pricing against the potential risks of rising costs of our deposits and borrowings. Interest rates are outside of our control, so we must attempt to balance the pricing and duration of the loan portfolio against the risks of rising or declining costs of our deposits and borrowings. The continued success and attraction of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, and vicinity, will also be important to our ability to originate and grow loans and deposits, as will our continued focus on maintaining a low overhead. If volatility in the market and the economy continues to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, access to funds, and the price of our stock could be materially and adversely impacted. Although we are still in a global pandemic, we believe the Company is well prepared for the economic and social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting and financial reporting policies conform to GAAP and prevailing practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, preparation of the financial statements requires management to exercise significant judgment or discretion or make significant assumptions and estimates based on the information available that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the

38

Table of Contents

periods presented. The accounting policies we view as critical are those relating to the Allowance, the valuation of real estate acquired through foreclosure, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 1 - Summary of Significant Account Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies as described in the Annual Report other than those that may be mentioned in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Disclosures regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations

Net Income

Three Months Ended June 30:

Net income remained relatively stable at $1.7 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Basic and diluted income per share were $0.13 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.14 for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Net income increased by $3.3 million, or 144.6% to $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Basic and diluted income per share were $0.44 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.18 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net income reflected increased net interest income, a decrease in provision for loan losses, and increased noninterest income, partially offset by increased noninterest expenses.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was significantly impacted by a declining interest rate environment directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The abrupt decline in interest rates beginning in 2020 not only reduced interest income on our liquid assets, but it also reduced our interest expense on both deposits and borrowings. Because of the need to maintain higher levels of liquidity and delays in business investment activity due to COVID-19 disruptions, some further compression of our net interest margin is possible in future periods, but a reasonably robust recovery in business conditions should enable us to deploy our additional asset generation resources and thus reallocate some of our excess liquidity. Additionally, at June 30, 2021, we held $36.9 million in low-yielding PPP loans, which reduced our net interest margin. We could experience compression of our average yields, net interest spread, and net interest margin in future periods by the effect of the forgiveness aspect of the PPP loans as the recognition of the net origination fees will be accelerated once payments are received.

Three Months Ended June 30:

Net interest income increased by $365,000 or 5.5%, to $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $6.6 million for the same period of 2020 as a result of the decrease in interest expense due to the decrease in the average rate of interest-bearing liabilities and also the increase in volume of average interest-earning assets. Our net interest margin decreased from 3.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to 2.71% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Net interest income increased by $1.3 million or 9.5%, to $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $13.4 million for the same period of 2020 as a result of the decrease in interest expense due to the decrease in the average rate of interest-bearing liabilities and also the increase in volume of average interest-earning assets. Our net interest margin decreased from 3.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 2.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Table of Contents

Interest Income

Three Months Ended June 30:

Interest income decreased by $478,000 or 5.7%, to $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, due primarily to the low interest rate environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic. We experienced decreased yields in most interest-earning asset categories.

The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 100 basis points to 3.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 4.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Average interest-earning assets increased from $830.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $1.0 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2021, due primarily to an increase in average other interest-earning assets of $121.6 million and an increase in average total securities of $89.8 million. The increase in average other interest-earning assets resulted primarily from increased average interest-earning deposits in banks, which was the result of increased deposits from our medical-use cannabis customers. The increase in average total securities was due to utilization of excess liquidity through securities purchases during the second quarter of 2021.

Average loans outstanding decreased $30.1 million as a result of significant loan payoffs in the second quarter of 2021, primarily in commercial loans due to PPP loan forgiveness. Average LHFS increased $26.3 million due to increased mortgage-banking originations.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Interest income decreased by $785,000, or 4.5%, to $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $17.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, due primarily to the low interest rate environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic. We experienced decreased yields in all interest-earning asset categories.

The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 100 basis points to 3.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 4.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The average yield on other interest-earning assets decreased to 0.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 0.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a change in the mix of other interest-earning asset types and the decreased rate environment. We held less CDs held for investment during the six months ended June 30, 2021 than during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Average interest-earning assets increased from $816.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, due primarily to an increase in average other interest-earning assets of $118.4 million and an increase in average total securities of $78.2 million. The increase in average other interest-earning assets resulted primarily from increased average interest-earning deposits in banks due to increased deposits from our medical-use cannabis customers. The increase in average total securities was due to utilization of excess liquidity through securities purchases during the first half of 2021.

Average loans outstanding decreased $20.3 million as a result of significant loan payoffs in the first half of 2021, primarily in commercial loans due to PPP loan forgiveness. Average LHFS increased $30.7 million due to increased mortgage-banking originations.

Interest Expense

Three Months Ended June 30:

Total interest expense was $873,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the decreased interest rate environment. The average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 68 basis points from 1.24% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to 0.56% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Average rates decreased in all interest-bearing liability categories. Partially offsetting the decrease in average rates were increased average interest-bearing liabilities which increased from $556.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $621.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The average balance of interest-bearing checking and savings accounts increased from $307.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $436.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to increases in our medical-use

cannabis related accounts and increased customer savings during the ongoing pandemic. The average balance of CDs decreased from $193.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $154.2 million for the same period of 2021 due to runoff from maturing CDs. Average borrowings decreased $25.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 due to payoffs of FHLB advances.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Total interest expense was $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the decreased interest rate environment. The average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 80 basis points from 1.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 0.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Average rates decreased in all interest-bearing liability categories. Partially offsetting the decrease in average rates were increased average interest-bearing liabilities which increased from $565.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $631.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The average balance of interest-bearing checking and savings accounts increased from $315.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $445.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to increases in our medical-use cannabis related accounts and increased customer savings during the ongoing pandemic. The average balance of CDs decreased from $194.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $155.2 million for the same period of 2021 due to runoff from maturing CDs. Average borrowings decreased $25.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 due to payoffs of FHLB advances.

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding the average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the resulting yields on average interest-earning assets and average rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities. Average balances are also provided for noninterest-earning assets and noninterest-bearing liabilities.

The “Rate/Volume Analysis” below indicates the changes in our net interest income as a result of changes in volume and rates. We maintain an asset and liability management policy designed to provide a proper balance between rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities to attempt to optimize interest margins while providing adequate liquidity for our anticipated needs. Changes in interest income and interest expense that result from variances in both volume and rates have been allocated to rate and volume changes in proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Provision for Loan Losses

Our loan portfolio is subject to varying degrees of credit risk and an Allowance is maintained to absorb losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Credit risk includes, but is not limited to, the potential for borrower default and the failure of collateral to be worth what we determined it was worth at the time of the granting of the loan. We monitor loan delinquencies at least monthly. All loans that are delinquent and all loans within the various categories of our portfolio as a group are evaluated. Management, with the advice and recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, estimates an Allowance to be set aside for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Included in determining the calculation are such factors as historical losses for each loan portfolio, current market value of the loan’s underlying collateral, inherent risk contained within the portfolio after considering the state of the general economy, economic trends, consideration of particular risks inherent in different kinds of lending and consideration of known information that may affect loan collectability.

Three Months Ended June 30:

We recorded a reversal of provision for loan losses of $325,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and no provision for loan losses three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to significant loan runoff and a reduction in required specific reserves.

Six Months Ended June 30:

We recorded a (reversal of) provision for loan losses of $(1.1 million) and $750,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In 2020, we recorded the provision primarily due to economic factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the first half of 2021, we experienced a significant drop in loan volume and a reduction in required specific reserves, which were the most significant contributors to the provision reversal.

Noninterest Income

Three Months Ended June 30:

Total noninterest income increased by $519,000 or 16.0%, to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, with the majority of the increase from mortgage-banking revenue and Title Company revenue. Mortgage-banking revenue increased $310,000 or 15.6%, due to the increased volume of loans originated from $80.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $87.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Title Company generated $442,000 in revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $226,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, the increase of which was due to increased settlement volumes. Servicing fee income (included in other noninterest income) increased $159,000 from $35,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to $194,000 for the same period of 2021 as the volume of loans serviced for FHLMC and FNMA increased during the second quarter of 2021. Real estate commissions decreased $123,000 and real estate management fees decreased $155,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 as we wound down the operations of the Bank’s subsidiary, Louis Hyatt, Inc. after the Hyatt Commercial asset sale on January 1, 2021.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Total noninterest income increased by $3.2 million or 51.9%, to $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, with the majority of the increase from mortgage-banking revenue and Title Company revenue. Mortgage-banking revenue increased $3.1 million or 84.8%, due to the increased volume of loans originated from $123.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $188.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Title Company generated $777,000 in revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $464,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, the increase of which was due to increased settlement volumes. Servicing fee income (included in other noninterest income) increased $266,000 from $68,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $334,000 for the same period of 2021 as the volume of loans serviced for FHLMC and FNMA increased during the first half of 2021. Real estate commissions decreased $272,000 and real estate management fees decreased $320,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 as we wound down the operations of Louis Hyatt, Inc.

Noninterest Expense

Three Months Ended June 30:

Total noninterest expense increased $1.2 million, or 15.8%, to $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to increases in compensation and related expenses, internal audit and compliance fees, and merger costs related to the pending merger with Shore. Compensation and related expenses increased by $658,000, or 12.7%, to $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to annual salary increases, additional hirings, primarily in the mortgage-banking division, and increased commission expense that corresponds with our increased mortgage-banking volumes. Internal audit and compliance fees increased $129,000 due to increased internal audit costs. Merger expenses amounted to $91,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily consisting of legal fees.

Six Months Ended June 30:

Total noninterest expense increased $1.7 million, or 11.0%, to $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $15.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to increases in compensation and related expenses, internal audit and compliance fees, and merger costs. Compensation and related expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 13.3%, to $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $10.6 million for the six months

Table of Contents

ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to annual salary increases, additional hirings, and increased mortgage-banking related commission expense. Internal audit and compliance fees increased $198,000 due to increased internal audit costs.  Merger expenses amounted to $329,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily consisting of legal fees. Professional fees decreased $167,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to decreased external audit and consulting fees in the first half of 2021. Additionally, we recognized a $34,000 loss on the sale of Hyatt Commercial during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Income Tax Provision

Three Months Ended June 30:

We recorded a $699,000 tax provision on net income before income taxes of $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 for an effective tax rate of 28.9%, compared to an income tax provision of $658,000 on net income before income taxes of $2.4 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, for an effective tax rate of 27.5%.

Six Months Ended June 30:

We recorded a $2.1 million tax provision on net income before income taxes of $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 for an effective tax rate of 27.6%, compared to an income tax provision of $871,000 on net income before income taxes of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, for an effective tax rate of 27.5%.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased $191.1 million to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2021, compared to $952.6 million at December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to a $153.2 million, or 97.8%, increase in cash and cash equivalents, to $309.8 million at June 30, 2021 from $156.6 million at December 31, 2020 due primarily to increased deposits. Additionally, total securities increased $73.9 million as we redirected some of our excess liquidity in the form of securities purchases. Partially offsetting the increase in total assets was a $29.6 million decrease in total loans in the first half of 2021 as a result of significant payoffs. Total deposits increased $189.3 million, or 23.5%, to $995.7 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $806.5 million at December 31, 2020 primarily due to deposits from medical-cannabis related customers, as well as to customers maintaining higher savings balances during the ongoing pandemic. Stockholders’ equity increased $3.0 million to $112.6 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $109.6 million at December 31, 2020, due to net income to date for the year, partially offset by dividends paid to stockholders and the accumulated other comprehensive loss during the period.

Securities

We utilize the securities portfolio as part of our overall asset/liability management practices to enhance interest revenue while providing necessary liquidity for the funding of loan growth or deposit withdrawals. We continually monitor the credit risk associated with investments and diversify the risk in the securities portfolios. We held $21.3 million and $65.1 million in AFS securities as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We held $133.7 million and $15.9 million, respectively, in HTM securities as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Near the end of the second quarter of 2021, we transferred $118.7 million in AFS securities that had unrealized losses of $2.1 million at the time the securities were transferred. The unrealized losses at the time of transfer continue to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be amortized over the remaining lives of the securities.

Changes in current market conditions, such as interest rates and the economic uncertainties in the mortgage, housing, and banking industries impact the securities market. Quarterly, we review each security in our portfolio to determine the nature of any decline in value and evaluate if any impairment should be classified as OTTI. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we determined that no OTTI charges were required.

All of the AFS and HTM securities that are temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2021 were so due to declines in fair values resulting from changes in interest rates or decreased credit/liquidity spreads compared to the time they were purchased. We have the intent to hold these securities to maturity (including those designated as AFS) and it is more likely than not

45

that we will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of value. As such, management considers the impairments to be temporary.

LHFS

We originate residential mortgage loans for sale on the secondary market. Such LHFS, which are carried at fair value, amounted to $32.9 million at June 30, 2021 and $36.3 million at December 31, 2020, the majority of which are subject to purchase commitments from investors. The decrease in LHFS was primarily due to the timing of loans pending sale on the secondary market.

Loans

Our loan portfolio is expected to produce higher yields than investment securities and other interest-earning assets; the absolute volume and mix of loans and the volume and mix of loans as a percentage of total interest-earning assets is an important determinant of our net interest margin.

Total loans, net of unearned loan fees, decreased by $29.6 million, or 4.6%, to $613.3 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $642.9 million at December 31, 2020. This decrease was due primarily to increased payoffs of residential real estate and consumer loans, partially offset by increased commercial loan originations (primarily PPP loans).

Credit Risk Management and the Allowance

Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from the inability of a borrower to meet his or her obligations and entails both general risks, which are inherent in the process of lending, and risks specific to individual borrowers. Our credit risk is mitigated through portfolio diversification, which limits exposure to any single customer, industry, or collateral type.

We manage credit risk by evaluating the risk profile of the borrower, repayment sources, the nature of the underlying collateral, and other support given current events, conditions, and expectations. We attempt to manage the risk characteristics of our loan portfolio through various control processes, such as credit evaluation of borrowers, establishment of lending limits, and application of lending procedures, including the holding of adequate collateral and the maintenance of compensating balances. However, we seek to rely primarily on the cash flow of our borrowers as the

46

Table of Contents

principal source of repayment. Although credit policies and evaluation processes are designed to minimize our risk, management recognizes that loan losses will occur and the amount of these losses will fluctuate depending on the risk characteristics of our loan portfolio, as well as general and regional economic conditions.

Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the Allowance that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our Allowance methodology employs management’s assessment as to the level of future losses on existing loans based on our internal review of the loan portfolio, including an analysis of the borrowers’ current financial position, and the consideration of current and anticipated economic conditions and their potential effects on specific borrowers and/or lines of business. In determining our ability to collect certain loans, we also consider the fair value of any underlying collateral. In addition, we evaluate credit risk concentrations, including trends in large dollar exposures to related borrowers, industry and geographic concentrations, and economic and environmental factors. Our risk management practices are designed to ensure timely identification of changes in loan risk profiles; however, undetected losses may inherently exist within the loan portfolio. The assessment aspects involved in analyzing the quality of individual loans and assessing collateral values can also contribute to undetected, but probable, losses. For more detailed information about our Allowance methodology and risk rating system, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Based upon management’s evaluation, provisions are made to maintain the Allowance as a best estimate of inherent losses within the portfolio. The Allowance totaled $7.9 million at June 30, 2021 and $8.7 million at December 31, 2020. Any changes in the Allowance from period to period reflect management’s ongoing application of its methodologies to establish the Allowance, which, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, resulted in a decreased allocated Allowance for residential mortgage and commercial real estate loans and an increased allocated Allowance for commercial loans.

As a result of our Allowance analysis, we recorded a reversal of provision for loan losses of $325,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2021. We did not record any provision or reversal of provision for loan losses during the three months ended June 30, 2020. We recorded a (reversal of) provision for loan losses of $(1.1 million) and $750,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In 2020, we recorded the provision primarily due to economic factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the first half of 2021, we experienced a significant drop in loan volume and specific reserves, which were the most significant contributors to the reversal of provision.

We recorded net recoveries of $68,000 and $251,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and net recoveries of $283,000 and $281,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, annualized net recoveries as a percentage of average loans outstanding amounted to 0.04% and 0.15%, respectively. During both the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, annualized net recoveries as a percentage of average loans outstanding amounted to 0.09%. The Allowance as a percentage of outstanding loans was 1.28% as of June 30, 2021 compared to 1.35% as of December 31, 2020.

PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and, therefore, not required to have an allocated Allowance. The Allowance as a percentage of outstanding loans less PPP loans amounted to 1.37% and 1.42% at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Although management uses available information to establish the appropriate level of the Allowance, future additions or reductions to the Allowance may be necessary based on estimates that are susceptible to change as a result of changes in economic conditions, and other factors. As a result, our Allowance may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses, and future provisions for loan losses could materially adversely affect our operating results. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our Allowance and related methodology. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the Allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Management believes the Allowance is adequate as of June 30, 2021 and is sufficient to address the credit losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. Management will continue to evaluate the adequacy of the Allowance as more economic data becomes available and as changes within our portfolio are known. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may still require us to fund additional increases in the Allowance in future periods.

NPAs

Given the volatility of the real estate market, it is very important for us to have current valuations on our NPAs. Generally, we obtain appraisals or alternative valuations on NPAs annually. In addition, as part of our asset monitoring activities, we maintain a Loss Mitigation Committee that meets monthly. During these Loss Mitigation Committee meetings, all NPAs and loan delinquencies are reviewed. Additionally, loans in industries vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19 and loans that were or continue to be on interest deferral are reviewed. We also produce an NPA report which is distributed monthly to senior management and is also discussed and reviewed at the Loss Mitigation Committee meetings. This report contains all relevant data on the NPAs, including the latest appraised value (or alternative valuation vehicle) and valuation date. Accordingly, these reports identify which assets will require an updated valuation. As a result, we have not experienced any internal delays in identifying which loans/credits require updated valuations. With respect to the ordering process of appraisals, we have not experienced any delays in turnaround time nor has this been an issue over the past three years. Furthermore, we have not had any delays in turnaround time or variances thereof in our specific loan operating markets.

NPAs, expressed as a percentage of total assets, totaled 0.2% at June 30, 2021 and 0.6% at December 31, 2020. The ratio of the Allowance to nonperforming loans was 638.4% at June 30, 2021 and 197.9% at December 31, 2020.

The distribution of our NPAs is illustrated in the following table. We did not have any loans greater than 90 days past due and still accruing at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Real estate acquired through foreclosure remained unchanged at $1.0 million at both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

TDRs

In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, management may grant a concession for other than an insignificant period of time to the borrower that would not otherwise be considered, the related loan is classified as a TDR. See Significant Developments – COVID-19 for information regarding the CARES Act and its effect on modifications.

CARES Act Loans

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, loan modification requests have been granted to defer principal and/or interest payments or modify interest rates. These loans are not classified as TDRs according to Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as long as the specific criteria set forth in the CARES Act are met.

Deposits

Deposits totaled $995.7 million at June 30, 2021 and $806.5 million at December 31, 2020. The $189.3 million increase was primarily the result of short-term medical-use cannabis related funds (funds that have not yet actually been used in the medical-use cannabis industry) that account holders have placed at the Bank temporarily while looking for desired investments in the industry. Management is aware of the short-term nature of such medical-use cannabis related deposits and offset those funds by maintaining short-term liquidity to meet any deposit outflows. Additionally, customers have been maintaining higher savings balances during the ongoing pandemic.

Borrowings

Our borrowings consist of advances from the FHLB.

The FHLB advances are available under a specific collateral pledge and security agreement, which requires that we maintain collateral for all of our borrowings equal to 30% of total assets. Our advances from the FHLB may be in the form of short-term or long-term obligations. Short-term advances have maturities for one year or less and may contain prepayment penalties. Long-term borrowings through the FHLB have original maturities up to 15 years and generally contain prepayment penalties.

At June 30, 2021, our total credit line with the FHLB was $333.1 million. The Bank, from time to time, utilizes the line of credit when interest rates are more favorable than obtaining deposits from the public. Our outstanding FHLB advance balance at both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $10.0 million.

At June 30, 2021, we also maintained a line of credit with a bankers’ bank in the amount of $11.0 million, which we had not drawn upon.

Subordinated Debentures

As of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding $20.6 million in principal amount of 2035 Debentures. The 2035 Debentures were issued pursuant to the 2035 Indenture between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as Trustee. The 2035 Debentures pay interest quarterly at a floating rate of interest of 3-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points, and mature on January 7, 2035. Payments of principal, interest, premium and other amounts under the 2035 Debentures are subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all senior indebtedness of the Company, as defined in the 2035 Indenture. The 2035 Debentures became redeemable, in whole or in part, by the Company on January 7, 2010.

The 2035 Debentures were issued and sold to the Trust, of which 100% of the common equity is owned by the Company. The Trust was formed for the purpose of issuing Capital Securities to third-party investors and using the proceeds from the sale of such Capital Securities to purchase the 2035 Debentures. The 2035 Debentures held by the Trust are the sole assets of the Trust. Distributions on the Capital Securities issued by the Trust are payable quarterly at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate being earned by the Trust on the 2035 Debentures. The Capital Securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the 2035 Debentures. We have entered into an agreement which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantees the Capital Securities subject to the terms of the guarantee.

Under the terms of the 2035 Debentures, we are permitted to defer the payment of interest on the 2035 Debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods, provided that no event of default has occurred and is continuing. As of June 30, 2021, we were current on all interest due on the 2035 Debentures.

Capital Resources

Total stockholders’ equity increased $3.0 million to $112.6 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $109.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase was the result of 2021 net income to date, partially offset by dividends paid to stockholders and the accumulated other comprehensive loss during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Capital Adequacy

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary, actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank exceeded all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject and meets the qualifications to be considered “well capitalized.” As of January 1, 2020, the Bank elected to follow the Community Bank Leverage Ratio. See details of our capital ratios in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity

Liquidity describes our ability to meet financial obligations, including lending commitments and contingencies, which arise during the normal course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers, to fund the operations of our mortgage-banking business, as well as to meet current and planned expenditures. These cash requirements are met on a daily basis through the inflow of deposit funds, the maintenance of short-term overnight investments, maturities and calls in our securities portfolio, and available lines of credit with the FHLB, which requires pledged collateral. Fluctuations in deposit and short-term borrowing balances may be influenced by the interest rates paid, general consumer confidence, and the overall economic environment. There can be no assurances that deposit withdrawals and loan fundings will not exceed all available sources of liquidity on a short-term basis. Such a situation would have an adverse effect on our ability to originate new loans and maintain reasonable loan and deposit interest rates, which would negatively impact earnings.

Our principal sources of liquidity are loan repayments, maturing investments, deposits, borrowed funds, and proceeds from loans sold on the secondary market. The levels of such sources are dependent on the Bank’s operating, financing, and investing activities at any given time. We consider core deposits stable funding sources and include all deposits, except CDs of $100,000 or more. The Bank’s experience has been that a substantial portion of CDs renew at time of maturity and remain on deposit with the Bank. Additionally, loan payments, maturities, deposit growth, and earnings contribute to our flow of funds.

In addition to our ability to generate deposits, we have external sources of funds, which may be drawn upon when desired. The primary source of external liquidity is an available line of credit with the FHLB. The Bank’s total credit availability under the FHLB’s credit availability program was $333.1 million at June 30, 2021, of which $10.0 million was outstanding. In addition, at June 30, 2021, we also maintained a line of credit with a bankers’ bank in the amount of $11.0 million, which we had not drawn upon.

The borrowing requirements of customers include commitments which totaled $158.9 million at June 30, 2021. Historically, many of the commitments expire without being fully drawn; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We expect to fund these commitments from the sources of liquidity described above.

Customer withdrawals are also a principal use of liquidity, but are generally mitigated by growth in customer funding sources, such as deposits and short-term borrowings.

In addition to the foregoing, the payment of dividends is a use of cash, but is not expected to have a material effect on liquidity. As of June 30, 2021, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Our ability to acquire deposits or borrow could be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a severe disruption of the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole. As of June 30, 2021, we have not experienced any negative impact on our liquidity due to COVID-19. At  June 30, 2021, management considered the Company’s liquidity level to be sufficient for the purposes of meeting our cash flow requirements. We are not aware of any undisclosed known trends, demands, commitments, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to result in material changes in our liquidity.

We anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity over the next twelve months will be from loan repayments, maturing investments, deposit growth, and borrowed funds. We believe that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient for us to meet our liquidity needs over the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Derivatives

We enter into off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of business. These arrangements consist primarily of commitments to extend credit, lines of credit, and letters of credit.

Table of Contents

Credit Commitments

Credit commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition to the contract. Loan commitments generally have interest rates fixed at current market amounts, fixed expiration dates, and may require payment of a fee. Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates. Such lines do not represent future cash requirements because it is unlikely that all customers will draw upon their lines in full at any time. Letters of credit are commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is the contract amount of the commitment. Loan commitments, lines of credit, and letters of credit are made on the same terms, including collateral, as outstanding loans. We are not aware of any accounting loss we would incur by funding our commitments.

See detailed information on credit commitments above under “Liquidity.”

Derivatives

We maintain and account for derivatives, in the form of IRLCs and mandatory forward contracts, in accordance with the FASB guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. We recognize gains and losses on IRLCs forward contracts on the loan pipeline through mortgage-banking revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

IRLCs on mortgage loans that we intend to sell in the secondary market are considered derivatives. We are exposed to price risk from the time a mortgage loan closes until the time the loan is sold. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 14 days to 60 days. For these IRLCs, we attempt to protect the Bank from changes in interest rates through the use of forward contracts, primarily consisting of TBA securities.

See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for more detailed information on our derivatives.

Inflation

The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and practices within the banking industry which require the measurement of financial condition and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. As a financial institution, virtually all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. A prolonged period of inflation could cause interest rates, wages, and other costs to increase and could adversely affect our results of operations unless mitigated by a corresponding increase in our revenues. However, we believe that the impact of inflation on our operations was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The principal objective of the Company’s interest rate risk management is to evaluate the interest rate risk included in balance sheet accounts, determine the level of risks appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements, and performance objectives, and manage the risk consistent with our interest rate risk management policy. Through this management, we seek to reduce the vulnerability of our operations to changes in interest rates. The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for reviewing our asset/liability policy and interest rate risk position. The Board of Directors reviews the interest rate risk position on a quarterly basis and, in connection with this review, evaluates the Company’s business activities and strategies, the effect of those strategies on the Company’s net interest margin and the effect that changes in interest rates will have on the loan portfolio. While continuous movement of interest rates is certain, the extent and timing of these movements is not always predictable. Any movement in interest rates has an effect on our profitability. We face the risk that rising interest rates could cause the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, to rise faster than the yield on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments. Our interest rate spread and interest rate margin also may be negatively impacted in a declining interest rate environment even though we generally borrow at short-term interest rates and lend at longer-term interest rates. This is

Table of Contents

because loans and other interest-earning assets may be prepaid and replaced with lower yielding assets before the supporting interest-bearing liabilities reprice downward. Our interest rate margin may also be negatively impacted in a flat or inverse-yield curve environment. Mortgage origination activity tends to increase when interest rates trend lower and decrease when interest rates rise.

Our primary strategy to control interest rate risk is to strive to balance our loan origination activities with the interest rate market. We attempt to maintain a substantial portion of our loan portfolio in short-term loans such as construction loans. This has proven to be an effective hedge against rapid increases in interest rates as the construction loan portfolio reprices rapidly.

The matching of maturity or repricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which these assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive and by monitoring the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity gap. An interest-earning asset or interest-bearing liability is interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities represents the Bank’s interest sensitivity gap. At June 30, 2021, we had a one-year cumulative positive gap of $16.9 million.

Exposure to interest rate risk is actively monitored by management. The objective is to maintain a consistent level of profitability within acceptable risk tolerances across a broad range of potential interest rate environments. We use the PROFITstar® model to monitor our exposure to interest rate risk, which calculates changes in the EVE.

The preceding income simulation analysis does not represent a forecast of actual results and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions, which are subject to change, including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including the yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows, and others. Also, as market conditions vary, prepayment/refinancing levels, the varying impact of interest rate changes on caps and floors embedded in adjustable-rate loans, early withdrawal of deposits, changes in product preferences, and other internal/external variables will likely deviate from those assumed.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s CEO and CFO, evaluated, as of the last day of the period covered by this report, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Act of 1934) during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
