Impact of COVID-19:

• We have funded 594 loans totaling $162.2 million for the PPP through June 30, 2020. The growth in our assets resulting from the PPP has impacted our Tier 1 Leverage capital ratio as we have not utilized the liquidity available to us from the Federal Reserve’s PPP Liquidity Facility and its associated beneficial capital treatment. Substantially all of the loans were made to existing customers and were funded under the two year PPP loan program.
• We have experienced significant increased deposit balances as all of the PPP loan funds were deposited into customer accounts at our bank and as a result of customer behavior that is focused on maintaining greater non-maturing deposit balances.
• Organic loan growth has been slowed as we maintain credit underwriting discipline in light of the current economic environment.
• At June 30, 2020 the Company’s goodwill was not impaired as supported by a review by an independent third party consultant.
• At June 30, 2020, our workforce totaled 214 employees of which 114 are working remotely.
• All of our branch offices remain open, although they are operating under a reduced schedule. Our pandemic response team is continuing to modify and enhance our workforce and customer protection as additional information or requirements are promulgated by the state of California.

(2) Includes unvested restricted shares issued in accordance with the Company's equity incentive plan.
(3) Book value per share is computed by dividing total shareholders’ equity by shares outstanding. Tangible book value per share is computed by dividing total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangible, net by shares outstanding. Management believes that tangible book value per share is meaningful because it is a measure that the Company and investors commonly use to assess capital adequacy.
(4) The Company and the Bank continue to meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
(5) Management believes the tangible common equity ratio is a useful measure of capital adequacy because it provides a meaningful base for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in assessing the capital of the Company and the ability of the Company to absorb potential losses. The tangible common equity ratio is calculated as total shareholders' equity less goodwill and core deposit intangible, net divided by total assets less goodwill and core deposit intangible, net.

The average yield on loans during the quarter was 4.50% compared to 5.01% and 4.80% for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Yields in the current quarter were negatively impacted by PPP loans which averaged $132.8 million and yielded 2.46%.

At origination, loan fee income net of loan origination costs totaled $4.3 million and is being earned over the 24 month duration of the loans as a part of the loan yield. At June 30, 2020 $3.8 million remains to be earned in future quarters. The following tables provide additional information on the PPP loans by industry and by loan balance at June 30, 2020.

As of June 30, 2020, we maintained noninterest-bearing cash positions of $29.6 million and interest-bearing deposits of $126.1 million at the Federal Reserve Bank and correspondent banks.

Investment securities totaled $280.2 million at June 30, 2020, compared with $285.8 million and $285.1 million at June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively. During the second quarter of 2020, we continued to reposition a portion of the Bank’s investment securities portfolio to take advantage of longer durations and widening credit spreads on municipal securities. During the second quarter of 2020, we purchased securities with a par value of $32.4 million and weighted average yield of 2.13% (2.53% tax equivalent) and sold securities with a par value of $19.8 million and weighted average yield of 2.03%. The sales resulted in net realized gains of $140 thousand and $224 thousand for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Average securities balances for the quarters ended June 30, 2020, March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were $269.7 million, $272.3 million and $289.4 million, respectively. Weighted average yields on securities balances for those same periods were 2.61%, 2.74% and 2.86%, respectively.

At June 30, 2020, our net unrealized gains on available-for-sale investment securities were $10.1 million compared with net unrealized gains of $3.4 million and $8.4 million at June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The changes in net unrealized gains on the investment securities portfolio were due to changes in market interest rates and do not reflect changes in credit quality.

Total deposits at June 30, 2020, increased $259 million or 21% to $1.494 billion compared to June 30, 2019 and increased $252 million or 82% annualized compared to March 31, 2020. Total non-maturing deposits increased $281.7 million or 26% compared to the same date a year ago and increased $257.8 million or 94% annualized compared to March 31, 2020. The increase in non-maturing deposits from March 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020 was due to PPP loan program disbursements and changes in customer behavior which is placing greater emphasis on increasing non-maturing deposit balances. Certificates of deposit decreased $22.9 million or 14% compared to the same date a year ago and decreased $5.9 million or 16% annualized compared to March 31, 2020. The decrease in certificates of deposits from March 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020 reflects our decision to reduce reliance on public deposits.

The following table presents the average cost of interest-bearing deposits, all deposits and all interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated.

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared With The Second Quarter of 2019

Net income for the second quarter of 2020 increased $203 thousand compared to the second quarter of 2019. In the current quarter, net interest income was $288 thousand higher, noninterest expense was $1.3 million lower and income taxes were $19 thousand lower. These changes were partially offset by a provision for loan and lease losses that was $1.3 million higher and noninterest income that was $145 thousand lower.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $288 thousand compared to the same period a year ago.

Interest income for the second quarter of 2020 decreased $130 thousand or 1% to $15.0 million.

• Interest and fees on loans increased $377 thousand due to a $152.7 million increase in average loan balances partially offset by a 51 basis point decrease in the average yield on the loan portfolio. Much of the 51 basis point decrease was caused by PPP loans which yielded only 2.46%. The yield on loans exclusive of PPP loans declined 25 basis points.
• Interest on investment securities decreased $309 thousand due to a $19.7 million decrease in average securities balances and a 24 basis point decrease in average yield on the securities portfolio.
• Interest on interest-bearing deposits due from banks decreased $198 thousand due to a 235 basis point decrease in average yield that was partially offset by a $36.9 million increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2020 decreased $418 thousand or 26% to $1.2 million.

• Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased $165 thousand. Average interest-bearing demand and savings deposit balances increased $91.3 million, while average certificate of deposit balances decreased $21.1 million. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased 11 basis points.
• Interest expense on FHLB borrowings decreased $187 thousand. Average FHLB borrowings were $16.0 million in the current quarter compared to $30.0 million for the same period a year ago. The average rate paid on FHLB borrowings decreased 244 basis points.
  
• Interest expense on other term debt decreased $17 thousand. During the second quarter of 2019, we completed the early repayment of our variable rate senior debt.
  
• Interest expense on junior subordinated debentures decreased $49 thousand. The average rate paid on junior subordinated debentures decreased 190 basis points.
  

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

Net loan loss charge-offs were $278 thousand for the current quarter compared to net loan recoveries of $203 thousand for the same period a year ago. As illustrated in Table 10 asset quality metrics are improved for the three months ended June 30, 2020 when compared to the same period a year ago. We recognize the deteriorating credit environment due to the economic effects of COVID-19 and have made changes to our qualitative factors (Q-Factors) in calculating our ALLL. As a result we recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2020. There was no provision for loan and lease losses in the second quarter of 2019. A discussion of our provision is provided following Table 10.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $145 thousand including an $88 thousand decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco dividends.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, our income tax provision of $1.3 million on pre-tax income of $5.2 million was an effective tax rate of 25.6%. The tax provision for the second quarter of the prior year was $1.3 million on pre-tax income of $5.0 million for an effective rate of 26.9%. The 2019 tax rate reflects the non-deductibility of certain acquisition-related expenses.

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared With The First Quarter of 2020

Net income for the second quarter of 2020 increased $2.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2020. In the current quarter, net interest income was $797 thousand higher, provision for loan and lease losses was $1.6 million lower, noninterest income was $63 thousand higher and noninterest expense was $1.5 million lower.

COVID‐19 Loan Analysis

During the second quarter of 2020, we worked to proactively monitor our loan portfolio by contacting many of our borrowers to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on them, their businesses and the underlying collateral for our loans. For borrowers who received a loan payment deferral we are working with the borrowers to evaluate the potential for further deterioration of credit quality at the end of the deferral period.

We evaluated our commercial loan and commercial real estate loan portfolios (86% of gross loans excluding PPP loans) to identify those loans in industries that are most at risk or where other information indicates the borrower may be significantly impacted by the effects of COVID-19. The following table presents loans by industry that are most at risk or where other information indicates the loan or borrower may be highly impacted by COVID-19 and the related loan modifications. The table below includes $10.1 million and $22.4 million of SBA 7(a) (generally 75% guaranteed) loans in the high risk and low to moderate risk categories, respectively.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

We monitor credit quality and the general economic environment to ensure that the ALLL is maintained at a level that is adequate to cover estimated credit losses in the loan and lease portfolio. Our review of ALLL adequacy utilizes both quantitative and qualitative factors. The quantitative analysis relies on historical loss rates which, unfortunately, are not indicative of potential losses related to a pandemic such as we are currently experiencing with COVID-19. In response to quantitative data deficiencies, we have placed greater reliance on qualitative factors (Q-Factors).

At June 30, 2020, our review of the adequacy of our allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) focused on our Q-Factor for “changes in the volume and severity of past due loans and other similar conditions”. We considered concentrations of credit in industries that are more likely to be significantly impacted by the effects of COVID-19. We evaluated our C&I portfolio by NAICS code and our CRE portfolio for concentrations of tenants and businesses in higher risk industries or for loans with higher LTVs. We also completed analyses on individual borrowers who may be higher risk. After completing this work, we significantly increased our Q-Factor for “changes in the volume and severity of past due loans and other similar conditions”. Our ALLL methodology, adjusted for the revised Q-Factor discussed above necessitated an ALLL of $16.1 million at June 30, 2020, an increase of 32% compared to our ALLL of $12.2 million at December 31, 2019. A provision for loan and lease losses of $1.3 million was recorded during the current quarter compared to $2.9 million in the prior quarter. There was no provision for loan and lease loss during the same quarter a year ago. Our ALLL as a percentage of gross loans was 1.33% as of June 30, 2020 compared to 1.20% as of June 30, 2019 and 1.43% as of March 31, 2020. Excluding PPP loans our ALLL as a percentage of gross loans was 1.54% as of June 30, 2020.

Management believes the Company’s ALLL is adequate at June 30, 2020. There is, however, no assurance that future loan and lease losses will not exceed the levels provided for in the ALLL and could possibly result in future charges to the provision for loan and lease losses.

At June 30, 2020, the recorded investment in loans classified as impaired totaled $11.1 million, with a corresponding specific reserve of $270 thousand compared to impaired loans of $19.9 million with a corresponding specific reserve of $727 thousand at June 30, 2019 and impaired loans of $10.0 million, with a corresponding specific reserve of $318 thousand at March 31, 2020. The increase in impaired loans during the current quarter was due to one commercial real estate loan for $1.1 million which was placed on nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 2020.

There was one new troubled debt restructuring of a $654 thousand commercial real estate loan during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The borrower was impacted by COVID-19 but the loan did not qualify under the new troubled debt restructuring guidance issued by the financial institution regulators or under the CARES act.  As of June 30, 2020, we had 97 restructured loans that qualified as troubled debt restructurings, of which 95 were performing according to their restructured terms.

Troubled Debt Restructuring Guidance

Financial institution regulators and the CARES Act have changed the treatment of short term loan modifications for borrowers impacted by COVID-19. The change provides that modifications made in response to COVID-19, to borrowers under certain circumstances, should not be considered a troubled debt restructuring.

We have responded to the needs of our borrowers in accordance with the CARES Act and regulatory guidance to grant short term COVID-19 related loan modifications. Deferral periods are either 3 or 6 months determined on a case-by-case basis considering the nature of the business and the impact of COVID-19. The following table presents approved loan modification requests at June 30, 2020, only one of which meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. For the loans that were modified, 26 borrowers also received a PPP loan through our SBA department. The table also includes 59 consumer loan modifications on loans totaling $525 thousand and 51 residential real estate loan modifications totaling $3.5 million which are serviced by third parties as part of our purchased loan portfolios.
