Controls and Procedures

a) An evaluation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of

1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Corporation’s Disclosure Committee as of the end of the period covered by this

In designing and evaluating the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance

that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.

Also, because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if

any, within the Corporation have been detected.

Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and

The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all

potential future conditions.

assurance level, in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer

and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

b) There have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred

during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Corporation does not expect that its internal control over

financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud.

a) An evaluation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Corporation’s Disclosure Committee as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Also, because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Corporation have been detected.

Based on their evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021 are effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

b) There have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Corporation does not expect that its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud.

A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met.

Because of the

inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Corporation have been detected.

These inherent limitations include the

realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by

management override of the control.

The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals

under all potential future conditions;

Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective

control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Management of the Corporation is responsible for preparing the Corporation’s annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

for establishing

and maintaining an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting, including controls over the preparation of regulatory financial statements in accordance with the instructions for the Parent Company Only Financial

Statements for Small Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9SP);

for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting, including controls over the preparation of regulatory financial statements in accordance with the instructions for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements for Small Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9SP);

Corporation's internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally

accepted accounting principles.

To comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Corporation designed and implemented a structured and comprehensive assessment process to evaluate its internal

control over financial reporting across the enterprise.

The assessment of the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting was based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the

Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9SP).

Because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only

reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree

of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on its assessment, management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2020, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting, including controls over the preparation of

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Loans Held for Investment - Allowance for Loan Losses — Refer to Notes 1 and 3 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

Management estimates the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses (”ALL”) for the probable losses inherent in loans held for investment, segregating collectively evaluated allowances and individually evaluated allowances for loans.

The total estimate was $7.6 million at June 30, 2021.

The determination of the appropriate ALL inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires significant estimates of the existing credit risks using both quantitative and qualitative analyses.

For the collectively evaluated allowances, the Corporation uses historical experience to develop quantitative loss factors, which it applies to these loans based on management’s assigned internal risk ratings.

The Corporation also applies qualitative loss factors by assessing general economic indicators such as gross domestic product, retail sales, unemployment rates, employment growth, California home sales and median California home prices, as well as peer group data, reflecting the effect of events that have occurred but are not yet evidenced in the historical data.

Auditing the collectively evaluated loans of the Corporation’s ALL, specifically management’s qualitative loss factors for certain single-family, multi-family and commercial real estate loans, involved especially significant judgment.

significant judgements in determining these qualitative loss factors, performing procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates for these qualitative loss factors involved a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the qualitative loss factors for certain loan types described above included the following, among others:

● We performed inquiries and examined documentation to understand management’s methodology and process in determining the ALL, including the key assumptions and relevant data utilized.

● We tested the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over type of loan, loan classification, and determination of the qualitative loss factors and management’s review of the relevant qualitative loss factors.

● We tested the completeness and accuracy of the inputs used in the determination of the loss factors by selecting loans and through the reconciliation of the loan data testing to the ALL data inputs.

● We made a selection of loans and reviewed the supporting loan files, which includes borrower correspondence, payment history, property inspections, and status of current borrower-provided financial information, to evaluate the appropriateness of the loans’ classification considered as input to the ALL.

● We compared the Corporation’s loan loss factors, with benchmark data obtained independently to assess whether the ALL is within a reasonable range for specific loan categories.

● We evaluated the Company’s historical allowance estimation process by comparing the ALL recorded in historical periods to actual results.

Loans originated and held for sale

Mortgage loans are originated for both investment and sale to the secondary market.

Since the Corporation is primarily a single-family adjustable-rate mortgage (“ARM”) lender for its own loan

portfolio, fixed-rate loans are originated for sale to institutional investors.

Loans held for sale consist primarily of long-term fixed-rate loans secured by first trust deeds on single-family residences, the majority of which are Federal Housing

Administration (“FHA”), United States Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan products.

The loans are generally offered to customers located in (a) Southern California, primarily in Riverside and San Bernardino

counties, commonly known as the Inland Empire, and Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego and other surrounding counties and (b) Northern California, primarily Alameda, Placer, San Luis Obispo and other surrounding counties.

The loans have been hedged with

loan sale commitments, TBA MBS trades and option contracts.

The loan sale settlement period is generally between 20 to 30 days from the date of the loan funding.

On February 4, 2019, the Corporation announced that it was its best interests to scale

back the saleable single-family mortgage loan originations and focus on increasing the portfolio single-family mortgage loans.

The Corporation adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” and elected the fair value option (ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”) on loans held

value is generally determined by measuring the value of outstanding loan sale commitments in comparison to investors’ current yield requirements as calculated on the aggregate loan basis.

Loans are generally sold without recourse, other than

standard representations and warranties.

A high percentage of loans are sold on a servicing released basis.

In some transactions, the Corporation may retain the servicing rights in order to generate servicing income.

Where the Corporation

continues to service loans after sale, investors are paid their share of the principal collections together with interest at an agreed-upon rate, which generally differs from the loan’s contractual interest rate.

Loans previously sold to the FHLB – San Francisco under the Mortgage Partnership Finance (“MPF”) program have a recourse liability.

The FHLB – San Francisco absorbs the first four basis points of

loss by establishing a first loss account and a credit scoring process is used to calculate the maximum recourse amount for the Bank.

All losses above the Bank’s maximum recourse are the responsibility of the FHLB – San Francisco.

The FHLB – San

Francisco pays the Bank a credit enhancement fee on a monthly basis to compensate the Bank for accepting the recourse obligation.

As of June 30, 2020, the Bank serviced $7.4 million of loans under this program and has established a recourse

liability of $70,000 as compared to $9.7 million of loans serviced and a recourse liability of $50,000 at June 30, 2019.

Occasionally, the Bank is required to repurchase loans sold to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or other investors if it is determined that such loans do not meet the credit requirements of the investor, or

if one of the parties involved in the loan misrepresented pertinent facts, committed fraud, or if such loans were 90-days past due within 120 days of the loan funding date.

During the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Bank repurchased $1.1

million and $948,000 of single-family loans, respectively.

No other repurchase requests, which did not result in the repurchase of the loan itself, were settled in fiscal 2020 and 2019.

In addition to the specific recourse liability for the MPF

program, the Bank established a recourse liability of $200,000 for loans sold to other investors as of both, June 30, 2020 and 2019.

$25,000 at June 30, 2019.

Gains or losses on the sale of loans, including fees received or paid, are recognized at the time of sale and are determined by the difference between the net sales proceeds and the allocated book

value of the loans sold.

Mortgage servicing assets (“MSA”) are amortized in proportion to and over the period of the estimated net servicing income and are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

The fair value of MSA

is based on the present value of estimated net future cash flows related to contractually specified servicing fees.

The Bank periodically evaluates MSA for impairment, which is measured as the excess of cost over fair value.

Troubled debt restructuring (“restructured loans”)

A restructured loan is a loan which the Corporation, for reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that the Corporation would not otherwise

A restructured loan is a loan which the Corporation, for reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a more than insignificant concession to the borrower that the Corporation would not otherwise consider.

These financial difficulties include, but are not limited to, the borrowers’ default status on any of their debts, bankruptcy and recent changes in their financial circumstances (loss of job, etc.).

The loan terms which have been modified or restructured due to a borrower’s financial difficulty, may include but are not limited to:

A reduction in the stated interest rate.

An extension of the maturity at an interest rate below market.

A reduction in the accrued interest.

Extensions, deferrals, renewals and rewrites.

Loans that have been discharged in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy that have not been reaffirmed by the borrower.

To qualify for restructuring, a borrower must provide evidence of creditworthiness such as, current financial statements, most recent income tax returns, current paystubs, current W-2s, and most

recent bank statements, among other documents, which are then verified by the Corporation.

The Corporation re-underwrites the loan with the borrower's updated financial information, new credit report, current loan balance, new interest rate,

remaining loan term, updated property value and modified payment schedule, among other considerations, to determine if the borrower qualifies.

The Corporation measures the allowance for loan losses of restructured loans based on the difference between the loan's original carrying amount and the present value of expected future cash flows

discounted at the original effective yield of the loan.

Based on the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's ("OCC") guidance with respect to restructured loans and to conform to general practices within the banking industry, the Corporation

maintains certain restructured loans on accrual status, provided there is reasonable assurance of repayment and performance, consistent with the modified terms based upon a current, well-documented credit evaluation.

Other restructured loans are classified as “Substandard” and placed on non-performing status.

The Corporation upgrades restructured single-family loans to the pass category if the borrower has

demonstrated satisfactory contractual payments for at least six consecutive months or 12 consecutive months for those loans that were restructured more than once.

Once the borrower has demonstrated satisfactory contractual payments beyond 12

consecutive months, the loan is no longer categorized as a restructured loan.

a) A reduction in the stated interest rate.

b) An extension of the maturity at an interest rate below market.

c) A reduction in the accrued interest.

d) Extensions, deferrals, renewals and rewrites.

e) Loans that have been discharged in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy that have not been reaffirmed by the borrower.

In addition to the payment history described above;

Accounting standard updates (“ASU”)

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet and

aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the new revenue recognition standard, ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers.

The new leases standard represents a wholesale change to lease accounting requiring

the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements.

The principal change required by ASU 2016-02 relates to lessee accounting, for operating leases, a lessee is

required to (1) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position, (2) recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease

is allocated over the lease term generally on a straight-line basis, and (3) classify all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows.

For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an

accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities.

If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

ASU 2016-02 also changes disclosure requirements related to leasing activities and requires certain qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures.

This ASU was effective for annual periods

to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.

In January 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements.

The amendments in this ASU included the following items:

(i) determining the fair value of the underlying

asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers;

(ii) requiring cash received from lessors from sales-type and direct financing leases to be presented in the cash flow statement within investing activities;

and (iii) clarifying interim

disclosure requirements.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for estimated losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loans held for investment and upon management’s

continuing analysis of the factors underlying the quality of the loans held for investment.

These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loans held for investment, actual loan loss experience, current economic conditions,

detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectability may not be assured, and determination of the realizable value of the collateral securing the loans.

Provisions (recoveries) for loan losses are charged (credited) against operations

on a quarterly basis, as necessary, to maintain the allowance at appropriate levels.

Although management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the

Corporation’s loans held for investment, will not request the Corporation to significantly increase its allowance for loan losses.

Future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary and results of operations could be significantly

and adversely affected as a result of economic, operating, regulatory, and other conditions beyond the Corporation’s control.

Non-performing loans are charged-off to their fair market values in the period the loans, or portion thereof, are deemed uncollectible, generally after the loan becomes 150 days delinquent for real

estate secured first trust deed loans and 120 days delinquent for commercial business or real estate secured second trust deed loans.

The amount of the charge-off is determined by comparing the loan balance to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less disposition costs,

with the loan balance in excess of the estimated fair value charged-off against the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses for non-performing loans is determined by applying ASC 310, “Receivables.” For restructured loans that are

less than 90 days delinquent, the allowance for loan losses are segregated into (a) individually evaluated allowances for those loans with applicable discounted cash flow calculations still in their restructuring period, classified lower than pass,

and containing an embedded loss component or (b) collectively evaluated allowances based on the aggregated pooling method.

For non-performing loans less than 60 days delinquent where the borrower has filed bankruptcy, the collectively evaluated

allowances are assigned based on the aggregated pooling method.

For non-performing commercial real estate loans, individually evaluated allowances are calculated based on their fair values and if their fair values are higher than their loan

balances, no allowances are required.

The Corporation accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, which was implemented on July 1, 2019, and requires the Corporation to record liabilities for future lease obligations as well as

assets representing the right to use the underlying leased assets.

During fiscal 2021, there was a $ 147,000 single-family loan sold, as compared to no loans sold in fiscal 2020;

and there were no outstanding loans held for sale at June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.

The Corporation accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, which was implemented on July 1, 2019, and requires the Corporation to record liabilities for future lease obligations as well as assets representing the right to use the underlying leased assets.

The Corporation’s leases primarily represent future obligations to make payments for the use of buildings, space or equipment for its operations.

Liabilities to make future lease

payments are recorded in accounts payable, accrued interest and other liabilities, while right-of-use assets are recorded in premises and equipment in the Corporation’s consolidated statements of financial condition.

At June 30, 2020, all of the

Corporation’s leases were classified as operating leases and the Corporation did not have any operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”).

Liabilities to make future lease payments and right of use assets are

recorded for operating leases and do not include short-term leases.

These liabilities and right-of-use assets are determined based on the total contractual base rents for each lease, which include options to extend or renew each lease, where

applicable, and where the Corporation believes it has an economic incentive to extend or renew the lease.

Due to the fact that lease extensions are not reasonably certain, the Corporation generally does not recognize payments occurring during option

periods in the calculation of its operating right-of-use lease assets and operating lease liabilities.

The Corporation utilizes the FHLB - San Francisco rates as a discount rate for each of the remaining contractual terms at the adoption date as well

as for future leases if the discount rate is not stated in the lease.

For leases that contain variable lease payments, the Corporation assumes future lease payment escalations based on a lease payment escalation rate specified in the lease or the

specified index rate observed at the time of lease commencement.

Liabilities to make future lease payments are recorded in accounts payable, accrued interest and other liabilities, while right-of-use assets are recorded in premises and equipment in the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

For leases that contain variable lease payments, the Corporation assumes future lease payment escalations based on a lease payment escalation rate specified in the lease or the specified index rate observed at the time of lease commencement.

Liabilities to make future lease payments are accounted for using the interest method, being reduced by periodic contractual lease payments net of periodic interest accretion.

Right-of-use assets for operating leases are amortized over the term of the associated lease by amounts that represent the difference between periodic straight-line lease expense and periodic interest accretion in the related liability to make future

lease payments.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, expenses associated with the Corporation’s leases totaled $825,000, and was recorded in premises and occupancy expenses and equipment expenses in the

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 the Corporation’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

classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Effective January 1, 2015 (with some changes transitioned into full effectiveness over two to four years), the Bank and the Corporation became subject to new capital adequacy requirements which

were fully phased-in on January 1, 2019.

Since the Corporation has less than $3.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis, and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company’s subsidiary bank to be well capitalized

under the prompt corrective action regulations.

The capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital.

The changes in capital requirements required a minimum ratio for common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital, increased the Tier1 leverage and Tier 1 capital ratios, changed the risk-weightings of

certain assets for purposes of the risk-based capital ratios, created an additional capital conservation buffer over the required capital ratios and changed what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting these various capital requirements.

Failure to meet minimum requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by bank regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements.

required to maintain additional levels of Tier 1 common equity over the minimum risk-based capital levels before payment of dividends, repurchase of shares or payment of discretionary bonuses.

In addition to the minimum CET1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios, the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital above the required minimum levels in

order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions.

As of June 30, 2020, the capital conservation

buffer required a minimum of 2.50% of risk weighted assets.

For calendar 2019 and thereafter, the minimum requirements call for a Tier1 leverage ratio of 4.00%, a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital ("CET1") to total risk-weighted assets (“CET1 risk-based

ratio”) of 7.00%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.50%, and a total capital ratio of 10.50%.

Under the standards, in order to be considered well-capitalized, the Bank must have at minimum a Tier1 leverage ratio of 5%, a CET1 capital ratio of 6.50%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.00%, and a

total capital ratio of 10.00%.

Cannon lawsuit:

On August 6, 2015, a former employee, Christina Cannon, filed a lawsuit called Cannon vs.

the Bank in the California Superior Court for the County of San Bernardino (the “Cannon lawsuit”).

seeks to represent a class of all non-exempt employees in a class action lawsuit brought under California’s Unfair Competition Law, Business & Professions Code section 17200.

The underlying claims include unpaid overtime (including off-the-clock

work), meal and rest period violations, minimum wage violations, and failure to reimburse business expenses.

On September 8, 2017, the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the Cannon lawsuit sent notification to the Bank and to the California Labor &

Workforce Development Agency informing them of their intent to bring a claim under the Private Attorneys’ General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”) on behalf of all non-exempt employees and covering a variety of alleged wage and hour violations.

aggregate settlement payment by the Bank of up to $2.8 million, which includes all settlement funds, the class representative enhancement award, settlement administrator’s expenses, any

employer-side payroll taxes, and class counsel’s attorneys’ fees and costs.

The Bank’s decision to settle this matter was the result of the significant legal costs, distraction from day-to-day operating activities and substantial resources that would

be required to defend the Bank in protracted litigation.

In addition, the Bank determined that the settlement would reduce the Bank’s potential exposure to damages, penalties, fines and plaintiffs’ legal fees in the event of an unfavorable outcome in

a court trial.

The settlement includes the dismissal of all claims against the Bank and related parties in the Cannon lawsuit and claim under the PAGA, without any admission of liability or wrongdoing attributed to the Bank.

Because of the

uncertainty surrounding this litigation, no litigation reserve had been previously established by the Bank resulting in the full $2.8 million settlement expense being recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

On December 20, 2018, counsel in the Cannon lawsuit filed a Motion for Preliminary Approval of the Settlement in the California Superior Court for the County of San Bernardino.

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC 825 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and

At each subsequent reporting date, an entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items in earnings for which the

fair value option has been elected.

The objective of the Fair Value Option is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities

differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.
