SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Overview USCB Financial Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation incorporated in 2021, is a bank holding company with one wholly owned subsidiary, U.S. Century Bank (the “Bank”), together referred to as “the Company”. The Bank, established in 2002, is a Florida state-chartered, non-member financial institution providing financial services through its banking centers located in South Florida. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Bank completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) and its Class A voting common shares began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market in July 2021. In December 2021, the Bank exchanged all the outstanding shares of Class B non-voting common stock for shares of Class A voting common stock on a one to five exchange. Shortly thereafter, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of Class A voting common stock of the Bank in connection with the reorganization of the Bank into the holding company form of structure. For further information on the IPO and the exchange and redemption of shares , see Note 8 “Stockholders’ Equity”. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements consist of USCB Financial Holdings, Inc. and U.S. Century Bank as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to only U.S. Century Bank as of September 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. All adjustments consisting of normally recurring accruals that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Principles of Consolidation The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The most significant estimates impacting the Company’s consolidated financial statements are the allowance for credit losses and income taxes. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no impact on the net income or stockholders’ equity of the Company. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Issued and Not Yet Adopted Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326); Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This accounting standard update (“ASU” or “Update”) on accounting for current expected credit losses on financial instruments (“CECL”) will replace the current probable incurred loss impairment methodology under U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects the expected credit losses. The Update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about expected credit losses. This Update is applicable to the Company on a modified retrospective basis for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, Table of Contents USCB FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited 9 USCB Financial Holdings, Inc. Q3 2022 Form 10-Q 2022. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company expects to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2023. The impact of adoption on the Company’s financial statements will depend on the composition of the loan and investment securities portfolio as of January 1, 2023, general economic conditions, and other factors that are not known at this time. Although management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements, management does believe that this ASU will lead to significant changes in accounting policies and disclosures related to, and the methods used in estimating, the ACL. The Company has developed a detailed implementation plan through the date of adoption that includes the implementation of a software solution to assist with the CECL implementation process and is developing measurements in parallel with the current methodology. To date, the Company has initiated policy discussion with key stakeholders, completed a data gap analysis and retained the services of a third-party consulting firm to perform an independent model validation prior to adoption. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB clarified the scope of this guidance with ASU 2021-01 which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. This ASU is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU and has not yet determined whether LIBOR transition and this ASU will have a material effect on our business operations and consolidated financial statements. Trouble Debt Restructuring In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This ASU eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance on troubled debt restructurings for creditors and aligns it with existing guidance to determine whether a loan modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The new guidance also requires enhanced disclosures about certain loan modifications by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. This ASU is effective in periods beginning after December 15, 2022, using either a prospective or modified retrospective transition approach. Early adoption is permitted for entities that have already adopted CECL. The Company is in the process of reviewing this ASU, as part of its CECL implementation efforts, to determine whether it would have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when adopted. 2.

The Company performs a review of the investments that have an unrealized loss to determine whether there have been any changes in the economic circumstance of the security issuer to indicate that the unrealized loss is impaired on an other- than-temporary (“OTTI”) basis. Management considers several factors in their analysis including (i) the severity and duration of the impairment, (ii) the credit rating of the security including any downgrade, (iii) the intent to sell the security, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, (iv) whether there have been any payment defaults and (v) the underlying guarantor of the securities. The Company does not consider these investments to be OTTI as the decline in market value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before maturity.

Q3 2022 Form 10-Q Credit Quality Indicators The Company grades loans based on the estimated capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligation of the loan agreement based on relevant information which may include: current financial information on the borrower, historical payment experience, credit documentation and other current economic trends. Internal credit risk grades are evaluated periodically. The Company's internally assigned credit risk grades are as follows: Pass – Loans indicate different levels of satisfactory financial condition and performance. Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligator or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified at substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loss – Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent Table of Contents USCB FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited 21 USCB Financial Holdings, Inc. Q3 2022 Form 10-Q upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The major tax jurisdictions where the Company files income tax returns are the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Florida. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did no t have any unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period or during the current period. Additionally, no interest or penalties were recorded as a result of tax uncertainties. 5. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financial needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include unfunded commitments under lines of credit, commitments to extend credit, standby and commercial letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. A summary of the amounts of the Company's financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk are shown below at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands): September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Commitments to grant loans and unfunded lines of credit $ 119,830 $ 134,877 Standby and commercial letters of credit 5,413 6,420 Total $ 125,243 $ 141,297 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Unfunded lines of credit and revolving credit lines are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and ultimately may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company committed. Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit have fixed maturity dates and since many of them expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present a significant liquidity risk to the Company. 6. DERIVATIVES The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk exposure . The notional amount of the interest rate swaps do not represent actual amounts exchanged by the parties. The amounts exchanged are determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements. The Company enters into interest rate swaps with its loan customers. The Company had 16 and 18 interest rate swaps with loan customers with an aggregate notional amount of $ 34.6 million and $ 39.2 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. These interest rate swaps mature between 2025 and 2051. The Company entered into corresponding and offsetting derivatives with third parties. The fair value of liability on these derivatives requires the Company to provide the counterparty with funds to be held as collateral which the Company reports as other assets under the Consolidated Balance Sheets. While these derivatives represent economic hedges, they do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. Table of Contents USCB FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited 22 USCB Financial Holdings, Inc.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Determination of Fair Value The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair-value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the fair value measurements accounting guidance, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions. Fair Value Hierarchy In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Table of Contents USCB FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited 23 USCB Financial Holdings, Inc. Q3 2022 Form 10-Q Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis AFS investment securities: When instruments are traded in secondary markets and quoted market prices do not exist for such securities, management generally relies on prices obtained from independent vendors or third-party broker-dealers. Management reviews pricing methodologies provided by the vendors and third-party broker-dealers in order to determine if observable market information is being utilized. Securities measured with pricing provided by independent vendors or third- party broker-dealers are classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy and often involve using quoted market prices for similar securities, pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses utilizing inputs observable in the market where available. Derivatives: The fair value of derivatives are measured with pricing provided by third-party participants and are classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy. The following table represents the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 for each of the fair value hierarchy levels (in thousands): September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Investment securities available for sale: U.S. Government Agency $ - $ 9,028 $ - $ 9,028 $ - $ 10,520 $ - $ 10,520 Collateralized mortgage obligations - 100,048 - 100,048 - 156,829 - 156,829 Mortgage-backed securities - residential - 76,707 - 76,707 - 118,842 - 118,842 Mortgage-backed securities - commercial - 26,935 - 26,935 - 50,117 - 50,117 Municipal securities - 18,629 - 18,629 - 24,276 - 24,276 Bank subordinated debt securities - 13,562 - 13,562 - 28,408 - 28,408 Corporate bonds - 3,662 - 3,662 - 12,550 - 12,550 Total - 248,571 - 248,571 - 401,542 - 401,542 Derivative assets - 5,254 - 5,254 - 1,434 - 1,434 Total assets at fair value $ - $ 253,825 $ - $ 253,825 $ - $ 402,976 $ - $ 402,976 Derivative liabilities $ - $ 5,254 $ - $ 5,254 $ - $ 1,434 $ - $ 1,434 Total liabilities at fair value $ - $ 5,254 $ - $ 5,254 $ - $ 1,434 $ - $ 1,434 Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis Impaired Loans: At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, in accordance with provisions of the loan impairment guidance, individual loans with a carrying amount of approximately $ 4.0 million and $ 4.4 million, respectively, were written down to their fair value of approximately $ 3.7 million and $ 4.0 million, respectively, resulting in an impairment charge of $ 309 thousand and $ 360 thousand, respectively, which was included in the allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Loans subject to write-downs, or impaired loans, are estimated using the present value of expected cash flows or the appraised value of the underlying collateral discounted as necessary due to management's estimates of changes in economic conditions are considered a Level 3 valuation. Other Real Estate: Other real estate owned is valued at the lesser of the third-party appraisals less management's estimate of the costs to sell or the carrying cost of the other real estate owned. Appraisals generally use the market approach valuation technique and use market observable data to formulate an opinion of the fair value of the properties. However, the appraiser uses professional judgment in determining the fair value of the property and the Company may also adjust the value for changes in market conditions subsequent to the valuation date when current appraisals are not available. As a consequence of the carrying cost or the third-party appraisal and adjustments therein, the fair values of the properties are considered a Level 3 valuation.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Common Stock The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are the same, except for voting and conversion rights. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to voting rights, while holders of Class B common stock have no voting rights. Shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares of Class A common stock if sold or transferred. In June 2021, the Bank effected a 1 for 5 reverse stock split of all the Class A common stock $ 1.00 par value. Each five shares of the Bank’s Class A common stock was combined into one fully paid share of Class A common stock. Any fractional shares resulting from this reverse stock split were rounded up to one whole share. The Bank has adjusted the Class A common stock, earnings per share and stock options for this 1 for 5 reverse stock split for all periods in 2021. The Class B common stock was not adjusted but if sold or exchanged would be converted at the 1 for 5 reverse stock split of 1 share of Class A common stock for 5 shares of Class B common stock. Any dividends declared by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to include Class B common stock would also be paid as if the Class B common stock had converted. The 1 for 5 reverse stock split resulted in adjustments to Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations, and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. Table of Contents USCB FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited 26 USCB Financial Holdings, Inc. Q3 2022 Form 10-Q In July 2021, the Bank completed the IPO of its Class A common stock, in which it issued and sold 4,600,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $ 10.00 per share. The Bank received total net proceeds of $ 40.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and expenses. In December 2021, the Bank entered into agreements with the Class B shareholders to exchange all outstanding shares of Class B common stock for shares of Class A common stock at a ratio of one share of Class A common stock for ever five shares of Class B common stock. As a result, a total of 6,121,052 shares of Class B common stock were exchanged for 1,224,212 shares of Class A common stock. In December 2021, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of the Class A voting common stock of the Bank, which at the time were the only issued and outstanding shares of the Bank’s capital stock, in a share exchange (the “Reorganization”) effected under the Florida Business Corporation Act. Each of the outstanding shares of the Bank’s Class A common stock, par value $ 1.00 per share, formerly held by its shareholders was converted into and exchanged for one newly issued share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $ 1.00 per share, and the Bank became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. In the Reorganization, each shareholder of the Bank received securities of the same class, having substantially the same designations, rights, powers, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions, as those that the shareholder held in the Bank, and the Company’s current shareholders own the same percentages of its common stock as they previously owned of the Bank’s common stock. Preferred Stock In April 2021, the Board authorized and approved the offer to repurchase all outstanding shares of Class E preferred stock at the liquidation value of $ 7.5 million along with declared dividends of $ 103 thousand. All Class E preferred stock shareholders approved the repurchase which the Bank completed in April 2021. The Bank offered the Class C and Class D preferred stockholders the ability to exchange their shares for Class A common stock. The offer to exchange was voluntary and the preferred stockholders were given the option to convert 90 % of their preferred shares for Class A common stock with the remaining 10 % to be redeemed in the form of cash. The exchange ratio for the shares of Class A common stock issued in the preferred stock exchange transaction was based upon the IPO price for shares of Class A common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2021, 47,473 shares of Class C preferred stock and 11,061,552 shares of Class D preferred stock converted into an aggregate of 10,278,072 shares of Class A common stock. The exchange of the Class C and Class D preferred shares had a total liquidation value of $ 102.8 million. The remaining unconverted shares of Class C preferred stock and Class D preferred stock totaling 1,234,354 shares were subsequently redeemed at their liquidation value for $ 11.4 million. The fair value of consideration on the preferred stock exchange and redemption of the Class C and Class D preferred shares exceeded the book value causing a one-time reduction in net income available to common stockholders of $ 89.6 million. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no preferred shares outstanding and no outstanding dividends to be paid. Table of Contents USCB FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC.

Additionally, there were no dividends declared and unpaid as of September 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company and the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and remained significantly above “well- capitalized” guidelines. At September 30, 2022, the total risk-based capital ratios for the Company and the Bank were 13.65 % and 13.58 %, respectively. 9. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share (“EPS”) for common stock is calculated using the two-class method required for participating securities. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted-average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of this calculation, common stock equivalents include common stock options and are only included in the calculation of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive. To calculate EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, net income available to common stockholders was not allocated between Class A and Class B common stock since there were no issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock as of September 30, 2022. To calculate EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, net income available to common stockholders was allocated as if all the income for the period were distributed to common stockholders. The allocation was based on the outstanding shares per common share class to the total common shares outstanding during each period giving effect for the 1 for 5 reverse stock split. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation require that the distribution of net income to Common B stockholders be adjusted to give effect for Class A stock splits. Therefore, the income allocated to Class B common shares was calculated based on their 20 % per share equivalent to Class A common shares. Table of Contents USCB FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
