NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BayCom Corp (the “Company”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Walnut Creek, California. United Business Bank (the “Bank”), the Company’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, is a California state-chartered bank which provides a broad range of financial services primarily to local small and mid-sized businesses, service professionals and individuals. In its 18 years of operation, the Bank has grown to 35 full-service banking branches, with 17 locations in California, two in Washington, five in New Mexico and 11 in Colorado. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. None of the reclassifications impacted consolidated net income, earnings per share or shareholders’ equity.
On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for a public company that qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” or EGC. The Company qualifies as an EGC and will remain an EGC until December 31, 2023, the last day of the Company’s fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the Company’s initial public offering, or sooner under certain circumstances (none of which currently apply). As an EGC, we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We have taken, and intend to continue to take, advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
On February 1, 2022 , the Company completed its acquisition of Pacific Enterprise Bancorp (“PEB”) and PEB’s wholly owned subsidiary bank, Pacific Enterprise Bank, headquartered in Irvine, California (“PEB Merger”). See “Note 3 – Acquisitions” for additional information on the PEB Merger.
Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
On July 18, 2023, the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2023 and the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, as well as for the unaudited interim periods included in that fiscal year (collectively, “Restated Periods”), should no longer be relied upon because of errors related to the accounting for unrealized losses on preferred equity securities that resulted in material misstatements of noninterest income and accumulated other comprehensive income.
At the time of its purchase of the preferred equity securities for investment purposes, the Company inappropriately accounted for them as available-for-sale debt securities under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320 – Investments-Debt Securities . As such, the changes in the fair value of these securities were not recorded as part of net income but rather as a component of shareholders’ equity (in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax). However, as a result of subsequent research and third-party consultation, the Company determined that the securities should instead have been accounted for under ASC Topic 321 – Investments-Equity Securities . The result of this change in classification of the preferred equity securities is that the change in the fair value of the securities each quarter should have been recorded in noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income.

Table of Contents
On July 25, 2023, the Company filed amendments to its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023, September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, and March 31, 2022, and its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, (the “Original Reports”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), to reflect the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the Restated Periods (the “Amended Form 10-Qs” and the “Amended Form 10-K,” collectively, the “Amended Reports”).
As disclosed in the Original Reports, the Company recorded the change, net of taxes, in the fair value of preferred equity securities as part of other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, under ASC Topic 320 – Investments-Debt Securities rather than as part of non-interest income under ASC Topic 321 – Investments-Equity Securities . In addition, various footnotes in the Amended Reports reflect the effects of these restatements.
For additional information on the effects of the restatement, see Note 2 Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Amended Form 10-K and Note 3. Restatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in each of the Amended Form 10-Qs.
NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET EFFECTIVE AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2023
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which replaces the incurred loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in certain leases. In addition, ASU 2016-13 made changes to the accounting for available for sale debt securities. One such change requires increases or decreases in credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available for sale debt securities, based on management's intent to sell the security or likelihood the Company will be required to sell the security, before recovery of the amortized cost basis. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for the reporting periods beginning on and after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (PCD) that were previously classified as purchase credit impaired (PCI) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with ASU 2016-13, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. The remaining noncredit discount (based on the adjusted amortized costs basis) will be accreted into interest income at the effective interest rate as of adoption. The Company recognized an increase in the allowance for credit loss on loans totaling $ 1.5 million (which included a reclassification of the net credit discounts on acquired PCI loans to the allowance for credit losses of $ 845,000 ) and an increase to the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $ 45,000 , as a cumulative effect adjustment from change in accounting policies, with a corresponding after-tax decrease to opening retained earnings of $ 491,000 .
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures . ASU 2022-02 eliminates the recognition measurement guidance for troubled debt restructured ("TDR") loans, and instead requires an entity to evaluate whether a modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan in accordance with ASC Topic 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs . On a prospective basis, entities are subject to new disclosure requirements covering modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, ASU 2022-02 requires that an entity include in its vintage disclosures the current period-gross loan charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023 using a prospective transition method, and has thus far observed no material impact to deferred fees and costs and the related timing of net interest income recognition as a result of adoption.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) . The amendments in this ASU are elective and provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden of accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU may be elected through December 31, 2024 (as amended by ASU No. 2022-06 discussed below). An entity may elect the amendments in this update for an interim period with adoption methods varying based on transaction type. We have not elected to apply amendments at this time and will assess the applicability of this ASU to us as we continue to monitor guidance for reference rate reform from FASB and its impact on our financial condition and results of operations. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The objective of the guidance in Topic 848 was to provide temporary relief during the transition period, as noted in the discussion of ASU 2020-04 above, under which the sunset provision was based on an expectation that the LIBOR would cease being published after December 31, 2021. In March 2021, the UK Financial Conduct Authority announced that the intended cessation date of certain tenors of USD LIBOR would be June 30, 2023, which was beyond the original sunset date of Topic 848. Therefore, this amendment deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024.
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of Pacific Enterprise Bancorp (“PEB”)
On February 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of PEB. As of the acquisition date, PEB merged into the Company and Pacific Enterprise Bank, PEB’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, merged into the Bank. The acquisition expanded the Company’s market share in California with one branch in Irvine. At the effective time of the PEB merger, the Company paid aggregate consideration to PEB shareholders of approximately $ 64.1 million consisting of 3,032,579 shares of the Company’s common stock and $ 275,000 in cash. Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included $ 1.6 million in bargain purchase gain, and included in noninterest expense for that period was $ 3.1 million of nonrecurring acquisition-related expenses.

At September 30, 2023, the Company held 324 securities available-for-sale, of which 293 were in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months and 22 were in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months.
The securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2023, were evaluated to determine whether the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis resulted from a credit loss or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the length of time and the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, the nature of the security, the underlying collateral, and the financial condition and prospects of the issuer, among other factors. This assessment also includes a determination of whether the Company intends to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses.
15
Table of Contents
As of September 30, 2023, the Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis of its securities, has no present intent to sell any investment securities with unrealized losses, it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell securities with unrealized losses before recovery of their amortized cost and the decline in fair value is largely attributed to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The issuers of these securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments. No allowances for credit losses have been recognized on investment securities available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position, as management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality at September 30, 2023.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available-for-sale at the dates indicated by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

From time to time, the Company may extend, restructure, or otherwise modify the terms of existing loans, on a case-by-case basis, to remain competitive and retain certain customers, as well as assist other customers who may be experiencing financial difficulties. Prior to 2023, a modified loan was classified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) if the borrower was experiencing financial difficulties and a concession was made at the time of the modification. TDR loans were generally placed on nonaccrual status at the time of restructuring. These loans were returned to accrual status after the borrower demonstrated performance with the modified terms for a sustained period of time (generally six months ) and the capacity to continue to perform in accordance with the modified terms of the restructured debt.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02, which eliminated the accounting guidance for TDR loans while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan modifications by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02 using the prospective transition method. At the date of adoption, the Company was no longer required to utilize a loan-level discounted cash flow approach for determining the allowance for certain modified loans previously classified as TDR loans. The ACL on a modified loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty is measured using the same method as individually evaluated loans. There was no material impact upon adopting this standard as the Company elected to not change how it measured credit losses on TDRs.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were no loans and four total modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, consisting of two commercial real estate loans, one residential real estate loan, and one commercial and industrial loan, respectively. The type of modification for the two commercial real estate loans and the one residential real estate loan was a term extension, with no change to the pre-modification and post modification amortized cost balance, which for these three loans totaled $ 4.1 million. The type of modification for the commercial and industrial loan was a suspension of interest payments with principal payments designated payments-in-kind, with no change to the pre-modification and post modification amortized cost balance of $ 4.9 million.

The Company closely monitors the performance of modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of modification efforts. There were no commitments to lend additional amounts for modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty at September 30, 2023.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded no charge-offs for modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $ 2.4 million charge-off related to one modified loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty and no charge-offs related to modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty for which there was a payment default within the first 12 months of the modification.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, individually evaluated modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty had a related allowance of $ 342,000 and $ 393,000 , respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, none and $ 759,000 of modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty were performing in accordance with their modified terms, respectively. Accruing modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are included in the loans individually evaluated as part of the calculation of the allowance for credit losses for loans.
Risk Rating System
The Company evaluates and assigns a risk grade to each loan based on certain criteria to assess the credit quality of the loan. The assignment of a risk rating is done for each individual loan. Loans are graded from inception and on a continuing basis until the debt is repaid. Any adverse or beneficial trends will trigger a review of the loan risk rating. Each loan is assigned a risk grade based on its characteristics. Loans with low to average credit risk are assigned a lower risk grade than those with higher credit risk as determined by the individual loan characteristics.
The Company’s Pass loans include loans with acceptable business or individual credit risk where the borrower’s operations, cash flow or financial condition provides evidence of low to average levels of risk.
Loans that are assigned higher risk grades are loans that exhibit the following characteristics:
18
Table of Contents
Special Mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. A Special Mention rating is a temporary rating, pending the occurrence of an event that would cause the risk rating either to improve or to be downgraded.
Loans in this category would be characterized by any of the following situations:
● Credit that is currently protected but is potentially a weak asset;
● Credit that is difficult to manage because of an inadequate loan agreement, the condition of and/or control over collateral, failure to obtain proper documentation, or any other deviation from product lending practices; and
● Adverse financial trends.
Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. Loans classified substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The potential loss does not have to be recognizable in an individual credit for that credit to be risk rated Substandard. A loan can be fully and adequately secured and still be considered Substandard.
Some characteristics of Substandard loans are:
● Inability to service debt from ordinary and recurring cash flow;
● Chronic delinquency;
● Reliance upon alternative sources of repayment;
● Term loans that are granted on liberal terms because the borrower cannot service normal payments for that type of debt;
● Repayment dependent upon the liquidation of collateral;
● Inability to perform as agreed, but adequately protected by collateral;
● Necessity to renegotiate payments to a non-standard level to ensure performance; and
● The borrower is bankrupt, or for any other reason, future repayment is dependent on court action.
Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions, and value, highly questionable and improbable. Doubtful loans have a high probability of loss, yet certain important and reasonably specific pending factors may work toward the strengthening of the credit.
Losses are recognized as charges to the allowance when the loan or portion of the loan is considered uncollectible or at the time of foreclosure. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are credited to the allowance for credit losses.

Nonaccrual loans totaled $ 14.3 million at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Nonaccrual loans guaranteed by a government agency, which reduces the Company’s credit exposure, were $ 801,000 at September 30, 2023 compared to $ 839,000 at December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, nonaccrual loans included $ 2.3 million of loans 30-89 days past due and $ 2.6 million of loans less than 30 days past due. At December 31, 2022, nonaccrual loans included $ 2.5 million of loans 30-89 days past due and $ 4.0 million of loans less than 30 days past due. At September 30, 2023, nonaccrual loans 30-89 days past due of $ 2.3 million was comprised of six loans and the $ 2.6 million of loans less than 30 days past due was comprised of 15 loans. All these loans were placed on nonaccrual due to concerns over the financial condition of the borrowers. There were no loans that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing at September 30, 2023 compared to one such loan at December 31, 2022, which had a balance of $ 934,000 as of that date. Interest foregone on nonaccrual loans was approximately $ 173,000 and $ 593,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $ 230,000 and $ 388,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans
In connection with the Company's acquisitions, the contractual amount and timing of undiscounted principal and interest payments and the estimated amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal and interest payments were used to estimate the fair value of PCD loans at the acquisition date. The difference between these two amounts represented the nonaccretable difference. On the acquisition date, the amount by which the undiscounted expected cash flows exceed the estimated fair value of the acquired loans is the “accretable yield”. The accretable yield is then measured at each financial reporting date and represented the difference between the remaining undiscounted expected cash flows and the current carrying value of the loans. For PCD loans the accretable yield is accreted into interest income over the life of the estimated remaining cash flows. At each financial reporting date, the carrying value of each PCD loan is compared to an updated estimate of expected principal payment or recovery on each loan. To the extent that the loan carrying amount exceeds the updated expected principal payment or recovery, a provision for credit loss would be recorded as a charge to income and an allowance for credit losses for loans established.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the provision for credit losses was primarily due to a $ 1.2 million increase in reserves for individually evaluated loans, which included the loan to the Trust discussed below, and an increase in qualitative reserves, partially offset by improvements in forecasted economic conditions, specifically, national gross domestic product and national unemployment, indicators utilized to estimate credit losses and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in outstanding loan balances and $ 24,000 in net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2023.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company determined that a certificate of deposit-secured line of credit loan made to a revocable living trust (the “Trust” or the “Borrower”) with an outstanding balance of approximately $ 1.0 million as of September 30, 2023 was impaired and placed on nonaccrual as a result of the sole trustee and beneficiary of the Trust filing for personal bankruptcy in July 2023. At June 30, 2023, the loan had an outstanding balance of $ 5.0 million and was secured by a $ 4.0 million certificate of deposit held at the Bank. An additional $ 1.0 million in cash collateral securing the loan had previously been released by the Bank into a third-party escrow account at the request of the Borrower to be used as a refundable retainer in connection with a separate transaction by the Borrower. The loan matured on July 16, 2023, and the Bank received notification that the sole trustee and beneficiary of the Trust filed for personal bankruptcy on July 18, 2023. After receiving this notification, the Bank used the $ 4.0 million certificate of deposit held at the Bank to offset amounts owed on the loan and contacted the third-party escrow agent for the return of the additional $ 1.0 million of collateral. The Bank was advised by the escrow agent that the previously escrowed funds had been released by the escrow agent, which was done without the Bank’s consent and contrary to the written escrow instructions. The Bank has initiated legal action against the Borrower, the Borrower’s related parties and the escrow agent to recover the previously escrowed collateral. The results of the legal action and the Bank’s ability to recover the previously escrowed collateral are currently uncertain. The loan was fully reserved for at September 30, 2023.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the reversal of the allowance for credit losses was due to a decrease in the quantitative reserve primarily due to improvements in forecasted economic conditions, specifically, national gross domestic product and national unemployment indicators utilized to estimate credit losses over the next four quarters, as compared to those used in estimating the allowance for credit losses on loans at adoption, and to a lesser

extent, a decrease in outstanding loan balances, partially offset by an overall increase in reserves of individually evaluated loans and replenishment of the reserve from $ 399,000 in net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The reserve for individually evaluated loans increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to a $ 1.0 million reserve for the individually evaluated loan to the Trust discussed above, partially offset by a decrease in the specific reserve due to nine nonaccrual loans that were fully reserved for and charged-off during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The following table summarizes the amortized cost basis of individually evaluated collateral-dependent nonaccrual loans by loan and collateral type at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans was $ 39,000 and $ 120,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and $ 52,000 and $ 84,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
As part of the acquisition of PEB, the Company acquired certain small business loans to borrowers qualified under The California Capital Access Program for Small Business, a state guaranteed loan program sponsored by the California Pollution Control Financing Authority (“CalCAP”). PEB ceased originating loans under this loan program in 2017. Under this loan program, the borrower, CalCAP and the participating lender contributed funds to a loss reserve account that is held in a demand deposit account at the participating lender. The borrower contributions to the loss reserve account are attributed to the participating lender. Losses on qualified loans are charged to this account after approval by CalCAP. Under the program, if a loan defaults, the participating lender has immediate coverage of 100 % of the loss. The participating lender must return recoveries from the borrower, less expenses, to the credit loss reserve account. The funds in the loss reserve account are the property of CalCAP; however, in the event that the participating lender leaves the program any excess funds, after all loans have been repaid or unenrolled from the program by the
25
Table of Contents
participating lender and provided there are no pending claims for reimbursement, the remaining excess funds are distributed to CalCAP and the participating lender based on their respective contributions to the loss reserve account. Funds contributed by the participating lender to the loss reserve account are treated as a receivable from CalCAP and evaluated for impairment quarterly. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $ 23.2 million of loans enrolled in this loan program. The Company had a loss reserve account of $ 13.7 million as of September 30, 2023.
In addition, as successor to PEB, the Company was approved by CalCAP, in partnership with the California Air Resources Board, to originate loans to California truckers in the On-Road Heavy-Duty Vehicle Air Quality Loan Program. Under this loan program, CalCAP solely contributes funds to a loss reserve account that is held in a demand deposit account at the participating lender. Losses are handled in the same manner as described above. The funds are the property of CalCAP and are payable upon termination of the program. When the loss reserve account balance exceeds the total associated loan balance, the excess is to be remitted to CalCAP. The Company originated $ 4.2 million of loans under this program during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $ 20.3 million of loans enrolled in this program and a loss reserve account of $ 6.2 million.

NOTE 8 – LEASES
The Company leased 20 branches under noncancelable operating leases as of September 30, 2023. These leases expire on various dates through 2030. The Company’s leases often have an option to renew one or more times, at the Company’s discretion, following the expiration of the initial term. If at lease inception, the Company considers the
26
Table of Contents
exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability.
The Company uses the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term.

NOTE 9 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill is determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and other intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Core deposit intangible represents the estimated future benefit of deposits related to an acquisition and is booked separately from the related deposits and amortized over an estimated useful life of seven to ten years .
Goodwill
The Company’s policy is to assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or between annual assessments if a triggering event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill.

NOTE 12 – BORROWINGS
Other borrowings – The Bank has an approved secured borrowing facility with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the “FHLB”) for up to 25 % of total assets for a term not to exceed five years under a blanket lien of certain types of loans. At both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no FHLB advances outstanding.
The Bank has Federal Funds lines with four corresponding banks. Cumulative available commitments totaled $ 65.0 million at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. There were no amounts outstanding under these facilities at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures – In connection with its previous acquisitions, the Company assumed junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, totaling $ 8.5 million, net of fair value adjustments, with a weighted average interest rate of 8.25 % at September 30, 2023, compared to $ 8.5 million, net of fair value adjustments, with a weighted average rate of 7.34 % at December 31, 2022 . The junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures mature in 2034, subject to earlier redemption by the Company.
Subordinated debt – On August 10, 2020, the Company issued and sold $ 65.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25 % Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) at a public offering price equal to 100 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Notes initially bear a fixed interest rate of 5.25 % per year. Commencing on September 15, 2025, the interest rate on the Notes resets quarterly to the three-month Secured Overnight Financing rate plus a spread of 521 basis points ( 5.21 %), payable quarterly in arrears. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year through September 15, 2025 and quarterly thereafter on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year through the maturity date or earlier redemption date. The Company, at its option, may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date on or after September 15, 2025, without a premium. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding Notes, net of cost to issue, totaling $ 63.8 million and $ 63.7 million, respectively.

NOTE 15 – EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS
Equity Incentive Plans
2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
The Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”) in November 2017. The 2017 Plan provides for the awarding by the Company’s Board of Directors of equity incentive awards to employees and non-employee directors. An equity incentive award under the 2017 Plan may be an option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock units, stock award, other stock-based award or performance award. Factors considered by the Board in awarding equity incentives to officers and employees include the performance of the Company, the employee’s or officer’s job performance, the importance of his or her position, and his or her contribution to the organization’s goals for the award period. Generally, awards have a vesting period of no longer than ten years. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2017 Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the 2017 Plan is 450,000 . The 2017 Plan provides for annual restricted stock grant limits to officers, employees and directors. The annual stock grant limit per person for officers and employees is the lesser of 50,000 shares or a value of $ 2.0 million, and per person for directors, the maximum is 25,000 shares. All unvested restricted shares

outstanding vest in the event of a change in control of the Company. Awarded shares of restricted stock vest over (i) a one-year period following the date of grant, in the case of the non-employee directors, and (ii) a three-year or five-year period following the date of grant, with the initial vesting occurring on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, in the case of the executive officers. As of September 30, 2023, a total of 44,236 shares were available for future issuance under the 2017 Plan.
2014 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
In 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). A total of 148,962 equity incentive awards were granted under the 2014 Plan. The awards are shares of restricted stock and have a vesting period of one to five years . No future equity awards will be made from the 2014 Plan.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the shares at the award date. Total compensation expense for unvested restricted stock awards under these plans was $ 153,000 and $ 585,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $ 232,000 and $ 789,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
As of September 30, 2023, there was $ 996,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested shares granted as restricted stock awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately three years .
The Company has two forms of outstanding common stock: fully vested common stock and unvested restricted stock awards. Holders of restricted stock awards receive non-forfeitable dividends at the same rate as common stockholders and they both share equally in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, the difference in earnings per share is not significant for these participating securities.

NOTE 16 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value including a three-level valuation hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
31
Table of Contents
market participants at the measurement date reflecting assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. The hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Observable prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities; prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; directly observable market inputs for substantially the full term of the asset and liability; market inputs that are not directly observable but are derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
We use fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, primarily securities available-for-sale. For assets measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the fair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period and such measurements are therefore considered “nonrecurring” for purposes of disclosing our fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for individually evaluated loans and other real estate owned and to record impairment on certain assets, such as goodwill, core deposit intangible, and other long-lived assets.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In such cases, the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the measurement is used to determine the hierarchy for the entire asset or liability. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with our quarterly valuation process. There were no transfers between levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
The following assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

(1) For each quarter the loan was outstanding in 2023, with the adoption of CECL, one performing modified loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty was individually evaluated in determining the estimated allowance for credit losses.
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, certain loans have individual risk characteristics not consistent with a pool of loans and are individually evaluated for credit reserves. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement are typically individually evaluated. The fair value of individually evaluated loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise and liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those individually evaluated loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value which uses substantially observable data, the Company records the individually evaluated loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is less than the appraised value or the appraised value contains a significant assumption and there is no observable market price, the Company records the individually evaluated loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
The Company records foreclosed assets, or OREO, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis based on the collateral value of the property. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value which uses substantially observable data, the Company records the OREO as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is less than the appraised value or the appraised value contains a significant assumption, and there is no observable market price, the Company records the OREO as nonrecurring Level 3. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Management also incorporates assumptions regarding

market trends or other relevant factors and selling and commission costs ranging from 5 % to 7 %. Such adjustments and assumptions are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

NOTE 18 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lending and Letter of Credit Commitments
We operate in a highly regulated environment. From time to time, we are a party to various claims and litigation matters incidental to the conduct of our business. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings where we believe the resolution would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Nevertheless, given the nature, scope and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to our business (including laws and regulations governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security and anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws), we, like all banking organizations, are subject to heightened legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various commitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the financial statements. These commitments consist of the undisbursed balance on home equity and unsecured personal lines of credit, commercial lines of credit, including commercial real estate secured lines of credit, and of undisbursed funds on construction and development loans. The Company also issues standby letter of credit commitments, primarily for the third-party performance obligations of clients.
The following table presents a summary of commitments described above as of the dates indicated:

Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The actual liquidity needs or the credit risk that the Company will experience will likely be lower than the contractual amount of commitments to extend credit because a significant portion of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. The commitments are generally variable rate and include unfunded home equity lines of credit, commercial real estate construction loans where disbursement is made over the course of construction, commercial revolving lines of credit, and unsecured personal lines of credit. The Company’s outstanding loan commitments are made using the same underwriting standards as comparable outstanding loans. The reserve associated with these commitments included in interest payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets was $ 250,000 at September 30, 2023 and $ 315,000 at December 31, 2022.
Commercial Real Estate Concentrations
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in commercial real estate related loans. The Company’s commercial real estate loans are secured by owner-occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate and multifamily properties. Although management believes that loans within these concentrations have no more than the normal risk of collectability, a decline in the performance of the economy in general, or a decline in real estate values in the Company’s primary market areas in particular, could have an adverse impact on collectability .
Other Assets
The Company has commitments to fund investments in LIHTC partnerships and an SBIC fund. At September 30, 2023, the remaining commitments to the LIHTC partnerships and the SBIC fund were approximately $ 1.5 million and $ 122,000 , respectively. At December 31, 2022, the remaining commitments to the LIHTC partnerships and the SBIC fund were approximately $ 2.1 million and $ 122,000 , respectively.
Deposits
At September 30, 2023, approximately $ 227.6 million, or 10.5 %, of the Company's deposits were derived from its top ten depositors. At December 31, 2022, approximately $ 215.1 million, or 11.0 %, of the Company's deposits were
35
Table of Contents
derived from its top ten depositors. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately $ 991.6 million, or 45.9 % and $ 1.1 billion, or 53.3 %, of our total deposits were uninsured, respectively. The uninsured amounts are estimates based on the methodologies and assumptions used for United Business Bank’s regulatory reporting requirements.
Local Agency Deposits and Other Advances
In the normal course of business, the Company accepts deposits from local agencies. The Company is required to provide collateral for certain local agency deposits in the states of California, Colorado, New Mexico and Washington. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the FHLB issued letters of credit on behalf of the Company totaling $ 42.6 million and $ 40.6 million, respectively, as collateral for local agency deposits.
NOTE 19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
