Various factors, such as the Company’s results of operations, the trading price of the Company’s common stock relative to the book value per share, macroeconomic conditions and conditions in the banking sector, inform whether a triggering event for an interim goodwill impairment test has occurred.

If our results of operations remain in line with the first quarter of 2023 or decline or the trading price for our common stock remains significantly below book value per share for a prolonged period, or we experience continued economic uncertainty and stress in the banking sector, the Company will likely be required to conduct an interim goodwill impairment test in 2023, which could result in a material non-cash goodwill impairment.

Goodwill is recorded and evaluated for impairment at its reporting unit, the Company.

The Company's policy is to test goodwill for impairment annually as of December 31, or on an interim basis if an event triggering an impairment assessment is determined to have occurred.

Testing of goodwill impairment comprises a two-step process.

First, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to evaluate relevant events or circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred, it proceeds to the quantitative impairment test, whereby it calculates the fair value of the reporting unit and compares it with its carrying amount, including goodwill.

In its performance of impairment testing, the Company has the unconditional option to proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test, bypassing the qualitative assessment.

If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value, up to the carrying value of goodwill, is recorded through earnings as an impairment charge.

If the results of the qualitative assessment indicate that it is not more likely than not that an impairment has occurred, or if the quantitative impairment test results in a fair value of the reporting unit that is greater than the carrying amount, then no impairment charge is recorded.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Management determined that a triggering event had occurred as a result of a sustained decrease in the Company's stock price and a revision in the earnings outlook in comparison to budget for the remainder of 2023 due primarily to the economic uncertainty and market volatility resulting from the rising interest rate environment and the recent events in the banking sector.

As a result, the Company performed a qualitative assessment and quantitative impairment test on its only reporting unit as of May 31, 2023.

The Company engaged a third-party service provider to assist Management with the determination of the fair value of the Company.

A combination of a risk-weighted income valuation methodology, comprising a discounted cash flow analysis, and a market valuation methodology, comprising the guideline public company method, was employed.

Significant judgment is necessary in the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit.

The income valuation methodology requires an estimation of future cash flows, considering the after-tax results of operations, the extent and timing of credit losses, and appropriate discount and growth rates.

Actual future cash flows may differ from forecasted results based on the assumptions used.

In performing the discount cash flow analysis, the Company utilized multi-year cash projections that rely on internal forecasts of loan and deposit growth, bond mix, financing composition, market pricing of securities, credit performance, forward interest rates, future returns driven by net interest margin, fee generation and expense incurrence, industry and economic trends, and other relevant considerations.

The long-term growth rate used in the calculation of fair value was derived from published projections of the inflation rate and GDP, along with Management estimates.

The discount rate was calculated as the cost of equity capital using the modified capital asset pricing model, which includes variables including the risk-free interest rate, beta, equity risk premium, size premium, and company-specific risk premium.

The market approach considers a combination of price to tangible book value and price to earnings, adjusted based on companies similar to the reporting unit and adjusted for selected multiples, along with a control premium based on a review of transactions in the banking industry in order to calculate the indicated value of the Company's equity on a control, marketable basis.

The resulting calculation of fair value exceeded the carrying amount of the Company by approximately 17%, which resulted in no impairment loss.

Future events could cause the Company to conclude that the Company’s goodwill has become impaired, which would result in recording an impairment loss.

Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Management will continue evaluating the economic conditions at future reporting periods for triggering events.

However, to the extent that the condition or reputation of the Company or Bank deteriorates, to the extent that there are significant changes in market interest rates which the Company and Bank do not elect to match, or if aggregate funding available to banks change due to changes in the marketplace, we may experience an outflow of brokered deposits or difficulty in obtaining them in the future.

In that event we would be required to obtain alternate sources for funding, which may increase our cost of funds and negatively impact our net interest margin.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total deposits included $2.1 billion and $2.3 billion of brokered deposits (excluding the CDARS and ICS two-way), which represented 28.5% and 26.5% of total deposits, respectively.

The decrease in the percentage of the Bank's deposits that are uninsured was in part due to customers' increased use of the products facilitated by IntraFi that enable customers to maximize FDIC deposit insurance coverage for their deposits.

At March 31, 2023, the Company had $2.2 billion in noninterest bearing demand deposits, representing 30.1% of total deposits, compared to $3.2 billion of noninterest bearing demand deposits at December 31, 2022, or 36.2% of total deposits.

T he decrease was primarily attributable to outflows from noninterest bearing deposits and savings/money market accounts which was partially offset by the increase in time deposits.

Average noninterest bearing deposits of total deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were 37.4% and 36.1%, respectively.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had $2.0 billion in noninterest bearing demand deposits, representing 26.0% of total deposits, compared to $3.2 billion of noninterest bearing demand deposits at December 31, 2022, or 36.2% of total deposits.

The Bank also offers business NOW accounts and business savings accounts to accommodate those customers who may have excess short term cash to deploy in interest earning assets.

As an enhancement to the basic noninterest bearing demand deposit account, the Company offers a sweep account, or "customer repurchase agreement," allowing qualifying businesses to earn interest on short-term excess funds that are not suited for either a certificate of deposit or a money market account.

The balances in these accounts were $37.9 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $35.1 million at December 31, 2022.

The balances in these accounts were $37.0 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $35.1 million at December 31, 2022.

Approximately 59% of the Company's investment portfolio of debt securities is held in an available-for-sale status which allows for flexibility, subject to holdings held as collateral for customer repurchase agreements and public funds, to generate cash from sales as needed to meet ongoing loan demand.

As of June 30, 2023, the unrealized losses recorded on the available-for-sale securities were acting as a deterrent to any sale of those securities to raise liquidity.

However, these securities are utilized as pledged assets that provide secondary liquidity through the form of additional available borrowings.

Investment securities that are classified as held-to-maturity can also be used as collateral to pledge against additional borrowings.

These sources of liquidity are considered primary and are supplemented by the ability of the Company and Bank to borrow funds or issue brokered deposits, which are termed secondary sources of liquidity and which are substantial.

The following table summarizes the Company's secondary sources of liquidity in use and available at March 31, 2023:

Deposits at quarter-end were $7.7 billion and $8.7 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The decline in deposits was primarily attributable to a decrease in noninterest bearing deposits, offset by an increase in interest bearing deposits primarily due to the increased utilization of brokered deposits as discussed in "Deposits and Other Borrowings" above.

Short-term borrowings at quarter-end were $1.8 billion and $1.0 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

There is, however, a risk that the cost of funds will increase significantly as the Bank competes for deposits or that some deposits would be lost if rates were to increase and the Bank elected not to remain competitive with its deposit rates.

Under those conditions, the Bank believes that it is well positioned to use other sources of funds such as FHLB borrowings, brokered deposits, repurchase agreements and correspondent banks’ lines of credit to offset a decline in deposits in the short run, but the use of such sources may negatively impact our net interest margin and our earnings, as the use of such sources did in the first quarter of 2023, and there can be no assurance that they will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs.

However, the market for customer and brokered deposits is highly competitive and the risk of disintermediation is high, particularly in a rising or high interest rate environment.

The market for customer and brokered deposits is highly competitive and the risk of disintermediation is high, particularly in a rising or high interest rate environment.

Most of our noninterest bearing deposits are operating deposits or compensating balances that are held in connection with lending relationships.

The potential outflow of such deposits is a risk unless we pay a more competitive rate of interest on them, which could significantly and negatively impact the Bank’s interest expense and net interest margin, as the transfer of some noninterest-bearing deposits to interest-bearing deposits did in the first quarter of 2023.

Over the long-term, an adjustment in assets and change in business emphasis could compensate for a potential loss of deposits.

Although the Company has experienced net interest margin compression during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company's interest rate risk modeling shows net interest margin expansion in an increasing rate environment.

Although the Company has experienced net interest margin compression during the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company's interest rate risk modeling shows net interest margin expansion in an increasing rate environment.

The data is then subjected to a "shock test" which assumes a simultaneous change in interest rates up 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points or down 100, 200, and 300 basis points, along the entire yield curve, but not below zero.

The results are analyzed as to the impact on net interest income, net income and the market equity over the next twelve period from March 31, 2023.

In addition to analysis of simultaneous changes in interest rates along the yield curve, changes based on interest rate "ramps" is also performed.

The results are analyzed as to the impact on net interest income, net income and the market equity over the next 12 months from June 30, 2023.

In addition to analysis of simultaneous changes in interest rates along the yield curve, an analysis of changes based on interest rate "ramps" is also performed.

This analysis represents the impact of a more gradual change in interest rates, as well as yield curve shape changes.

For the analysis presented below, at March 31, 2023, the simulation assumes a 45 basis point change in interest rates on money market and interest bearing transaction deposits for each 100 basis point change in market interest rates in a decreasing interest rate shock scenario with a floor of 0 basis points (compared to a floor of 10 basis points in the same analysis as of March 31, 2022), and assumes a 45 basis point change in interest rates on money market and interest bearing transaction deposits for each 100 basis point change in market interest rates in an increasing interest rate shock scenario.

For the analysis presented below, at June 30, 2023, the simulation assumes an increasing correlation between the change in interest rates on offered interest bearing deposit products for each 100 basis point change in market interest rates in a rate shock scenario with a floor of 0 basis points.

Those correlations range from 45% in 100 basis points shocks to 90% in 400 basis point shock scenarios.

The Bank does have deposits with contractual terms which means these deposits will change 100 basis points for every 100 basis points change in market rates.

Thus, the overall measure of the correlation between deposit costs and market rate changes was approximately 70%.

The Company's analysis at March 31, 2023 shows a moderate effect on net interest income (over the next 12 months) as well as a moderate effect on the economic value of equity when interest rates are shocked down 100, 200, and 300 basis points and up 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points.

Thus, the overall measure of the correlation between deposit costs and market rate changes depends on the rate scenario in question and can range from 70% to 95%.

The Company's analysis at June 30, 2023 shows a moderate effect on net interest income (over the next 12 months) as well as a moderate effect on the economic value of equity when interest rates are shocked down 100, 200, and 300 basis points and up 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points.

This moderate impact is due substantially to the significant level of variable rate and repriceable assets and liabilities and related shorter relative durations.

The repricing duration of the investment portfolio at March 31, 2023 is 4.7 years, the loan portfolio 1.1 years, the interest bearing deposit portfolio 3.0 years, and the borrowed funds portfolio 0.4 years.
