RIVERVIEW BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)


1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"(“generally accepted accounting principles” or “GAAP”). However, all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Riverview Bancorp, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017 ("20172021 (“2021 Form 10-K"10-K”). The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the ninethree months ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2018.


2022.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


On February 17, 2017, Riverview Bancorp, Inc. and Riverview Community Bank (the "Bank") completed the purchase and assumption transaction in which Riverview Community Bank purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of MBank, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Merchants Bancorp (the "MBank transaction"). In addition, as part of the MBank transaction, Riverview Bancorp, Inc. assumed the obligations of Merchant Bancorp's trust preferred securities. The MBank transaction was accounted for as a business combination pursuant to GAAP. The results of operations of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the period since the acquisition date. See Note 3 for additional discussion.

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in the Company's income tax returns. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") was enacted on December 22, 2017, and – among other provisions – lowered the federal corporate income tax rate. As a result, the Company revalued its deferred tax assets and liabilities during the three months ended December 31, 2017, which resulted in a reduction to the Company's net deferred tax assets and a related charge to the provision for income taxes of $2.2 million. This charge included a $404,000 revaluation for the tax effects of unrealized losses of available for sale investment securities. In addition, the Company will utilize a blended tax rate for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2018 given the Tax Act lowered the federal corporate tax rate beginning January 1, 2018. As a result of utilizing a blended tax rate for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, the Company recognized a $422,000 benefit for income taxes for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017. As a result of revaluing the Company's net deferred tax assets and utilization of a blended tax rate, for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a net one-time charge to the provision for income taxes of $1.8 million.

The changes included in the Tax Act are broad and complex. The final transition impacts of the Tax Act may differ from the above estimates, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, any changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act, or any updates or changes to estimates the Company has utilized to calculate the transition impacts, including impacts from changes to current year earnings estimates. The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued rules that would allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. We currently anticipate finalizing and recording any resulting adjustments by the end of our current fiscal year ending March 31, 2018.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 2017current period presentation; such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or total equity previously reported.

2.PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

2.      PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Riverview Bancorp, Inc.; its wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverview Community Bank;Bank (the “Bank”); the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverview Services, Inc., and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Riverview Services, Inc. andBank’s majority-owned subsidiary, Riverview Trust Company (the "Trust Company"“Trust Company”) (collectively referred to as the "Company"“Company”). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


3.BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On February 17, For the period from April 1, 2017 through December 2019, the Trust Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Merchants Bancorp and itswas a wholly-owned subsidiary MBank. MBank provided community banking services to individualsof the Bank. In December 2019, the Trust Company issued 1,500 shares of Trust Company stock in conjunction with the exercise of 1,500 Trust Company stock options by the Trust Company’s President and businesses from banking offices inChief Executive Officer. In October 2020, the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area.Trust Company issued an additional 500 shares of Trust Company stock with the exercise of options for 500 shares of Trust Company common stock by the Trust Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. In May 2021, the Trust Company issued an additional 500 shares of Trust Company stock with the exercise of options for 500 shares of Trust Company common stock by the Trust Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. As a result of these transactions, the MBank transaction, the Company has increased its presenceBank's ownership in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan areaTrust Company decreased from 100% to 97.3%, resulting in a 2.7% noncontrolling interest held by the Trust Company’s President and further diversified its loan, customerChief Executive Officer. The noncontrolling interest was $195,000 and deposit base. Total consideration paid under$110,000 as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and net income attributable to the MBank transaction consisted of $12.1 million in cash. There were no transfers of common stock or other equity instruments in connection withnoncontrolling interest was $2,000 and $3,000 for the MBank transaction,three months ended June 30, 2021 and the Company did2020, respectively. These amounts are not obtain any equity interests in Merchants Bancorp or MBank.

The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recordedpresented separately in the Company'saccompanying consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair values as of the February 17, 2017 transaction date, and the related results of operations have been included in the Company's consolidatedfinancial statements of income since the transaction date. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill arising from the transaction consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and the acquired business.

In most instances, determining the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities requires the Company to estimate cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at the appropriate rate of interest. Differences may arise between contractually required payments and the expected cash flows at the acquisition date due to items such as estimated credit losses, prepayments or early withdrawals, and other factors. The most significant of those determinations relates to the valuation of acquired loans. For such loans, the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans. In accordance with GAAP, there was no carry-over of MBank's previously established allowance for loan losses. Goodwill is expected to be fully deductible for income tax purposes as, under the terms of the MBank transaction, the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of MBank but did not acquire any equity or other ownership interests.

The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration transferred, the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, and the resulting goodwill relating to the transaction (in thousands):

Total identifiable net assets acquired $10,772  $(196)  10,576 
Goodwill recognized         $1,504 

The acquired loan portfolio was valued using Level 3 inputs (see Note 12) and included the use of present value techniques, including cash flow estimates and incorporated assumptions that the Company believes marketplace participants would use in estimating fair values. Credit discounts were included in the determination of the fair value of the loans acquired; therefore, an allowance for loan losses was not recorded at the acquisition date. Acquired loans are evaluated upon acquisition and classified as either purchased credit-impaired ("PCI") or purchased non-credit-impaired. PCI loans reflect
8
credit deterioration since origination such that it is probable at acquisition that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments. The Company determined there were no PCI loans acquired in connection with the MBank transaction.

For purchased non-credit-impaired loans, the difference between the fair value and unpaid principal balance of the loan at the acquisition date is amortized or accreted to interest income over the life of the loans. Any subsequent deterioration in credit quality is recognized by recording an allowance for loan losses.

CDI represents the value assigned to demand, interest checking, money market and savings accounts acquired as part of an acquisition. CDI represents the future economic benefit of the potential cost savings from acquiring core deposits as part of an acquisition compared to the cost of alternative funding sources. CDI is amortized to non-interest expense using an accelerated method based on an estimated runoff of related deposits over a period of ten years. CDI is evaluated for impairment and recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable, with any changes in estimated useful life accounted for prospectively over the revised remaining life.

as “the Stock Option Plans”.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes stock option valuation model. The fair value of all awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods. The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The expected life is determined based on historical experience with similar options, giving consideration to the contractual terms and vesting schedules. Expected volatility is estimated at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock. Expected dividends are based on dividend trends and the market value of the Company's common stock at the time of grant. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. There were 0 stock options granted under the 2017 Stock Option Plan during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

2020. There was 0 unrecognized compensation expense related to the Trust Company stock options as of June 30, 2021.

4.      EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share ("EPS"(“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items. Nonvested shares of restricted stock are included in the computation of basic earnings per share because the holder has voting rights and shares in non-forfeitable dividends during the vesting period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents for items that are dilutive, net of shares assumed to be repurchased using the treasury stock method at the average share price for the Company'sCompany’s common stock during the period. Common stock equivalents arise from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options. Shares owned by the Company's ESOP that have not been allocated are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing basic and diluted EPS. As of December 31, 2017, all shares under the Company's ESOP were allocated. As of December 31, 2016, there were 24,633 shares which had not been allocated under the Company's ESOP. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017,June 30, 2021 and 2020, there were 0 stock options for 5,000 shares and 12,000 shares, respectively, of common stock were excluded in computing diluted EPS because they were antidilutive.

8.ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

7.      ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for estimated probable loan losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The allowance is provided based upon the Company'smanagement’s ongoing quarterly assessment of the pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio. These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, actual loan loss experience, current economic conditions and a detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectability may not be assured. The detailed analysis includes techniques to estimate the fair value of loan collateral and the existence of potential alternative sources of repayment. The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components.


The specific component relates to loans that are considered impaired. For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows or collateral value (less estimated selling costs, if applicable) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.


The general component covers non-impaired loans based on the Company'sCompany’s risk rating system and historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The Company calculates its historical loss rates using the average of the last four quarterly 24-month periods. The Company calculates and applies its historical loss rates by individual loan types in its loan portfolio. These historical loss rates are adjusted for qualitative and environmental factors.

12

An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that the Company believes have resulted in incurred losses that have not yet been allocated to specific elements of the general and specific components of the allowance for loan losses. Such factors include uncertainties in economic conditions, anduncertainties in identifying triggering events that directly correlate to subsequent loss rates, changes in appraised value of underlying collateral, risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation factors and historical loss experience data that may not precisely correspond to the current loan portfolio or economic conditions. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the loan portfolio. The appropriate allowance level is estimated based upon factors and trends identified by the Company as of the date of the filing of the consolidated financial statements.


When available information confirms that specific loans or portions of these loansthereof are uncollectible, identified amounts are charged against the allowance for loan losses. The existence of some or all of the following criteria will generally confirm that a loss has been incurred: the loan is significantly delinquent and the borrower has not demonstrated the ability or intent to bring the loan current; the Company has no recourse to the borrower, or if it does, the borrower has insufficient assets to pay the debt; and/or the estimated fair value of the loan collateral is significantly below the current loan balance, and there is little or no near-term prospect for improvement.


Management's

Management’s evaluation of the allowance for loan losses is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Loss factors are based on the Company'sCompany’s historical loss experience with additional consideration and adjustments made for changes in economic conditions, changes in the amount and composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency rates, changes in collateral values, seasoning of the loan portfolio, duration of the current business cycle, a detailed analysis of impaired loans and other factors as deemed appropriate. These factors are evaluated on a quarterly basis. Loss rates used by the Company are affected as changes in these factors increase or decrease from quarter to quarter. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company'sCompany’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Non-accrual loans: Loans are reviewed regularly and it is the Company'sCompany’s general policy that a loan is past due when it is 30 to 89 days delinquent. In general, when a loan is 90 days delinquent or when collection of principal or interest appears doubtful, it is placed on non-accrual status, at which time the accrual of interest ceases and a reserve for unrecoverable accrued interest is established and charged against operations. As a general practice, payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance on a cost recovery method. Also, as a general practice, a loan is not removed from non-accrual status until all delinquent principal, interest and late fees have been brought current and the borrower has demonstrated a history of performance based upon the contractual terms of the note. A history of repayment performance generally would be a minimum of six months. Interest income foregone on non-accrual loans was $78,000$7,000 and $56,000 during$17,000 for the ninethree months ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 and 2016,2020, respectively.

Credit quality indicators: The Company monitors credit risk in its loan portfolio using a risk rating system (on a scale of one to nine) for all commercial (non-consumer) loans. The risk rating system is a measure of the credit risk of the borrower based on their historical, current and anticipated future financial characteristics. The Company assigns a risk rating to each commercial loan at origination and subsequently updates these ratings, as necessary, so that the risk rating continues to reflect the appropriate risk characteristics of the loan. Application of appropriate risk ratings is key to management of loan portfolio risk. In determining the appropriate risk rating, the Company considers the following factors: delinquency, payment history, quality of management, liquidity, leverage, earnings trends, alternative funding sources, geographic risk, industry risk, cash flow adequacy, account practices, asset protection and extraordinary risks. Consumer loans, including custom construction loans, are not assigned a risk rating but rather are grouped into homogeneous pools with similar risk characteristics. When a consumer loan is delinquent 90 days, it is placed on non-accrual status and assigned a substandard risk rating. Loss factors are assigned to each risk rating and homogeneous pool based on historical loss experience for similar loans. This historical loss experience is adjusted for qualitative factors that are likely to cause the estimated credit losses to differ from the Company'sCompany’s historical loss experience. The Company uses these loss factors to estimate the general component of its allowance for loan losses.


Pass – These loans have a risk rating between 1 and 4 and are to borrowers that meet normal credit standards. Any deficiencies in satisfactory asset quality, liquidity, debt servicing capacity and coverage are offset by strengths in other areas. The borrower currently has the capacity to perform according to the loan terms. Any concerns about risk factors such as stability of margins, stability of cash flows, liquidity, dependence on a single product/supplier/customer, depth of management, etc. are offset by strengths in other areas. Typically, these loans are secured by the operating assets of the borrower and/or real estate. The borrower'sborrower’s management is considered competent. The borrower has the ability to repay the debt in the normal course of business.


Watch – These loans have a risk rating of 5 and are included in the "pass"“pass” rating. However, there would typically be some reason for additional management oversight, such as the borrower'sborrower’s recent financial setbacks and/or deteriorating financial position, industry concerns and failure to perform on other borrowing obligations. Loans with this rating are monitored closely in an effort to correct deficiencies.


18

Special mention – These loans have a risk rating of 6 and are rated in accordance with regulatory guidelines. These loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management'smanagement’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the credit position at some future date. These loans pose elevated risk but their weakness does not yet justify a "substandard"“substandard” classification.


Substandard – These loans have a risk rating of 7 and are rated in accordance with regulatory guidelines, for which the accrual of interest may or may not be discontinued. By definition under regulatory guidelines, a "substandard"“substandard” loan has defined weaknesses which make payment default or principal exposure likely but not yet certain. Repayment of such loans is likely to be dependent upon collateral liquidation, a secondary source of repayment, or an event outside of the normal course of business.


Doubtful – These loans have a risk rating of 8 and are rated in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Such loans are placed on non-accrual status and repayment may be dependent upon collateral which has value that is difficult to determine or upon some near-term event which lacks certainty.


Loss – These loans have a risk rating of 9 and are rated in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Such loans are charged-off or charged-down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. "Loss"“Loss” is not intended to imply that the loan or some portion of it will never be paid, nor does it in any way imply that there has been a forgiveness of debt.

Impaired loans and troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"(“TDRs”): A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts when due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Typically, factors used in determining if a loan is impaired include, but are not limited to, whether the loan is 90 days or more delinquent, internally designated as substandard or worse, on non-accrual status or represents a TDR. The majority of the Company'sCompany’s impaired loans are considered collateral dependent. When a loan is considered collateral dependent, impairment is measured using the estimated value of the underlying collateral, less any prior liens, and when applicable, less estimated selling costs. For impaired loans that are not collateral dependent, impairment is measured using the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan'sloan’s original effective interest rate. When the estimated net realizable value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (including accrued interest, net deferred loan fees or costs, and unamortized premium or discount), an impairment is recognized by adjusting an allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent to the initial allocation of allowance to the individual loan, the Company may conclude that it is appropriate to record a charge-off of the impaired portion of the loan. When a

19

charge-off is recorded, the loan balance is reduced and the specific allowance is eliminated. Generally, when a collateral dependent loan is initially measured for impairment and has not had an appraisal of the collateral performed in the last six months, the Company obtains an updated market valuation. Subsequently, the Company generally obtains an updated market valuation of the collateral on an annual basis. The collateral valuation may occur more frequently if the Company determines that there is an indication that the market value may have declined.

The cash basis interest income on impaired loans was not materially different than the interest recognized on impaired loans as shown in the above tables.


TDRs are loans for which the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower'sborrower’s financial condition, has granted a concession to the borrower that it would otherwise not consider. A TDR typically involves a modification of terms such as a reduction of the stated interest rate or face amount of the loan, a reduction of accrued interest, and/or an extension of the maturity date(s) at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for a new loan with similar risk. TDRs are considered impaired loans and as such, impairment is measured as described for impaired loans above.

At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2021, the Company had no commitments to lend additional funds on theseTDR loans. At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2021, all of the Company'sCompany’s TDRs were paying as agreed except for two commercial business TDR loans totaling $289,000 and two commercial real estate TDR loans totaling $1.3 million that defaulted since the loans were modified.


agreed. There were no new TDRs for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017. There were no0 new TDRs for the three months ended December 31, 2016. There was one new TDRJune 30, 2021 and 2020.

In March 2020, the Company began offering short-term loan modifications to assist borrowers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act provides that a short-term modification made in response to COVID-19 and which meets certain criteria does not need to be accounted for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 which was a commercial loan with a pre-modification outstanding recorded investment balance of $116,000 and a post-modification outstanding recorded investment balance of $107,000. There were no loans modified as a TDR withinTDR. Accordingly, the previous twelve months that subsequently defaulted during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017.


Company does not account for such loan modifications as TDRs. See Note 11 – New Accounting Pronouncements.

In accordance with the Company'sCompany’s policy guidelines, unsecured loans are generally charged-off when no payments have been received for three consecutive months unless an alternative action plan is in effect. Consumer installment loans delinquent six months or more that have not received at least 75% of their required monthly payment in the last 90 days are charged-off. In addition, loans discharged in bankruptcy proceedings are charged-off. Loans under bankruptcy protection with no payments received for four consecutive months are charged-off. The outstanding balance of a secured loan that is in excess of the net realizable value is generally charged-off if no payments are received for four to five consecutive months. However, charge-offs are postponed if alternative proposals to restructure, obtain additional guarantors, obtain additional assets as collateral or a potential sale of the underlying collateral would result in full repayment of the outstanding loan balance. Once any other potential sources of repayment are exhausted, the impaired portion of the loan is charged-off. Regardless of whether a loan is unsecured or collateralized, once an amount is determined to be a confirmed loan loss it is promptly charged off.

9.GOODWILL

8.      GOODWILL

Goodwill and certain other intangibles generally arise from business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill and other intangibles deemed to have indefinite lives generated from business combinations are not subject to amortization and are instead tested for impairment not less than annually. The Company has two reporting units, the Bank and the Trust Company, for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. All of the Company'sCompany’s goodwill has been allocated to the Bank reporting unit.


The Company performed an impairment assessment as of October 31, 20172020 and determined that no impairment of goodwill exists. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit'sunit’s fair value to its carrying value. If the reporting unit'sunit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, the Company would be required to progress to the second step. In the second step, the Company calculates the implied fair value of goodwill. GAAP with respect to goodwill requires that the Company compareand compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying amount of goodwill in the Company'sCompany’s consolidated balance sheet. If the carrying amount of the goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as goodwill recognized in a business combination. The estimated fair value of the Company is allocated to all of the Company's individual assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized identifiable intangible assets, as if the Company had been acquired in a business combination and the estimated fair value of the Company is the price paid to acquire it. The allocation process is performed only for purposes of determining the amount of goodwill impairment, as no assets or liabilities are written up or down, nor are any additional unrecognized identifiable intangible assets recorded as a part of this process. The results of the Company'sCompany’s step one test indicated that the reporting unit'sunit’s fair value was greater than its carrying value, and, therefore, a step two analysis was not required; however, no assurance can be given that the Company'sCompany’s goodwill will not be written down in future periods.


The following table presents As a result of the changeseffects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on the financial markets and economy, the Company completed a qualitative assessment of goodwill as of June 30, 2021, and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Bank (the reporting unit), exceeds its carrying value. If adverse economic conditions or decreases in the carrying amountCompany’s common stock price and market capitalization as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic were sustained in the future rather than temporary, it may significantly affect the fair value of the reporting unit and may trigger future goodwill for the periods indicated (in thousands):impairment charges. Any impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

11.JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

9.      JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

The Company has wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts that were established for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and common securities. The trust preferred securities accrue and pay distributions periodically at specified annual rates as provided in each trust agreement. The trusts used the net proceeds from each of the offerings to purchase a like amount of junior subordinated debentures (the "Debentures"“Debentures”) of the Company. The Debentures are the sole assets of the trusts. The Company'sCompany’s obligations under the Debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of the trusts. The trust preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity of the Debentures or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indentures. The Company has the right to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part on or after specific dates, at a redemption price specified in the indentures governing the Debentures plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date. The Company also has the right to defer the payment of interest on each of the Debentures for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters, provided that the deferral period does not extend beyond the stated maturity. During such deferral period, distributions on the corresponding trust preferred securities will also be deferred and the Company may not pay cash dividends to the holders of shares of the Company'sCompany’s common stock.


The Debentures issued by the Company to the grantor trusts;trusts, totaling $26.5$26.8 million and $26.4$26.7 million at December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2017,2021, respectively, are reflectedreported as “junior subordinated debentures” in the consolidated balance sheets in the liabilities section, under the caption "junior subordinated debentures."sheets. The common securities issued by the grantor trusts were purchased by the Company, and the Company'sCompany’s investment in the common securities of $836,000 at both December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2017,2021, is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company records interest expense on the Debentures in the consolidated statements of income.

10.      FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined under GAAP definesas the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. GAAP also establishes a fair value establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. The categories ofhierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels.  Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement prescribed by GAAP and used in the tables presented under fair value measurements are as follows:


its entirety is reported in one of three levels. These levels are:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1): Inputs that are quoted unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market

22

is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.


Other observable inputs (Level 2): Inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.


Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): Inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.


Financial instruments are presented in the tables that follow by recurring or nonrecurring measurement status. Recurring assets are initially measured at fair value and are required to be remeasured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements at each reporting date. Assets measured on a nonrecurring basis are assets that, as a result of an event or circumstance, were required to be remeasured at fair value after initial recognition in the consolidated financial statements at some time during the reporting period.

2021.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments above:


Investment securities

Investment securities are included within Level 1 of the hierarchy when quoted prices in an active market for identical assets are available. The Company uses a third-party pricing service to assist the Company in determining the fair value of its Level 2 securities, which incorporates pricing models and/or quoted prices of investment securities with similar characteristics. Investment securities are included within Level 3 of the hierarchy when there are significant unobservable inputs.


23

For Level 2 securities, the independent pricing service provides pricing information by utilizing evaluated pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data from market research publications. The Company'sCompany’s third-party pricing service has established processes for the Company to submit inquiries regarding the estimated fair value. In such cases, the Company'sCompany’s third-party pricing service will review the inputs to the evaluation in light of any new market data presented by the Company. The Company'sCompany’s third-party pricing service may then affirm the original estimated fair value or may update the evaluation on a go-forward basis.


Management reviews the pricing information received from the third-party pricing service through a combination of procedures that include an evaluation of methodologies used by the pricing service, analytical reviews and performance analysis of the prices against statistics and trends. Based on this review, management determines whether the current placement of the security in the fair value hierarchy is appropriate or whether transfers may be warranted. As necessary, the Companymanagement compares prices received from the pricing service to discounted cash flow models or by performing independent valuations of inputs and assumptions similar to those used by the pricing service in order to help ensure prices represent a reasonable estimate of fair value.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair values:

Impaired loans

For information regarding the Company'sCompany’s method for estimating the fair value of impaired loans, see Note 87 – Allowance Forfor Loan Losses.


In determining the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, the Company primarily uses third-party appraisals which may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available and include consideration of variations in location, size, and income production capacity of the property. Additionally, the appraisals are periodically further adjusted by the Company in consideration of charges that may be incurred in the event of foreclosure and are based on management'smanagement’s historical knowledge, changes in business factors and changes in market conditions.


Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated quarterly for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly based on the same factors identified above. Because of the high degree of judgment required in estimating the fair value of collateral

24

underlying impaired loans and because of the relationship between fair value and general economic conditions, the Company considers the fair value of impaired loans to be highly sensitive to changes in market conditions.


The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with GAAP. The Company, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, has determined the estimated fair value amounts. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data in the development of the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in the future. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Fair value estimates were based on existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business. The fair value was not estimated for assets and liabilities that were not considered financial instruments.


25

Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below:

Cash and cash equivalents – Fair value approximates the carrying amount.

Certificates of deposit held for investment – The fair value of certificates of deposit with stated maturities was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate was estimated using rates currently available in the local market.

Investment securities – See the description above.

Loans receivable and loans held for sale – Loans receivable were priced using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of loans held for sale was based on the loans' carrying values, as the agreements to sell these loans are short-term fixed-rate commitments, and no material difference between the carrying value and expected sales price is deemed likely.

FHLB stock – Fair value approximates the carrying amount.

Deposits – The fair value of deposits with no stated maturities such as non-interest-bearing demand deposits, interest checking, money market and savings accounts was equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits with stated maturities was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate was estimated using rates currently available in the local market.

FHLB advances – The fair value of FHLB advances was based on the carrying value as the advances are overnight (short-term) advances.
Junior subordinated debentures – The fair value of the Debentures was based on the discounted cash flow method. Management believes that the discount rate utilized is indicative of those that would be used by market participants for similar types of debentures.

Capital lease obligation – The fair value of the Company's capital lease obligation is estimated by discounting the cash flows through maturity based on current rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar maturities.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments – The estimated fair value of loan commitments approximates fees recorded associated with such commitments. Since the majority of the Company's off-balance-sheet financial instruments consist of non-fee producing, variable rate commitments, the Company has determined that they do not have a distinguishable fair value.

13.NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

11.      NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"(“ASU”) 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company's primary source of revenue is interest income, which is recognized when earned and is deemed to be in compliance with this ASU. Accordingly, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.


In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("ASU 2016-01"). The main provisions of ASU 2016-01 address the valuation and impairment of certain equity investments along with simplified disclosures about those investments. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values will be treated in the same manner as other financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by 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, and is that 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 a 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. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial“Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13"2016-13”). as amended by ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred losses methodology for estimating allowances with a current expected credit losses methodology with respect to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held to maturity investment securities and off-balance sheet commitments. In addition, ASU 2016-13 requires credit losses relating to available for sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction of carrying amount. ASU 2016-13 also changes the accounting for PCIpurchased credit impaired debt securities and loans. ASU 2016-13 retains many of the current disclosure requirements in GAAP and expands certain disclosure requirements. As a “smaller reporting company” filer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, the Company expects a change in the processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. At this time, management anticipates the allowance for loan losses will increase as a result of the implementation of this ASU. In addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for other-than-temporary impairment onof investment securities available for sale will be replaced with an allowance approach. The Company is reviewing the requirements of ASU 2016-13 and expects to beginhas begun developing and implementing processes and procedures to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date.

complete, the magnitude of the increase will not be known.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles“Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04"2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit'sunit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductibletax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.2022. Early application of ASU 2017-04 is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.


In March 2017,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, "Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs: Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities" ("2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2017-08"2019-12”).

ASU 2019-12 also requires that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. ASU 2017-082019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

ASU 2020-04 permits an entity to make necessary modifications to eligible contracts or transactions without requiring contract remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. The Company's current interest rates on its junior subordinated debentures are based upon the three-month LIBOR plus a spread. In January 2021, ASU 2021-01 updated amendments in the new ASU to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition.

The CARES Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, and the CAA 2021, signed into law on December 27, 2020, which extended the CARES Act treatment of TDRs, amended GAAP with respect to the modification of loans to borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other criteria, this guidance provided that short-term loan modifications made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined under the CARES Act prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., nine months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. To qualify as an eligible loan under the CARES Act, a loan modification must be (1) related to COVID-19; (2) executed on a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (3) executed between March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (a) 60 days after the date of termination of the national emergency by the President or (b) January 1, 2022. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has 1 modification loan related to the COVID-19 pandemic with an outstanding loan balance, net of deferred fees of $563,000. Loan modifications in accordance with the CARES Act are still subject to an evaluation in regard to determining whether or not a loan is deemed to be impaired.

12.      REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

In accordance ASC Topic 606 “Revenues from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), revenues are recognized when goods or services are transferred to the customer in exchange for the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive. The largest portion of the Company’s revenue is from interest income, which is not within the scope of ASC 606. All of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized in non-interest income.

If a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue as it satisfies a performance obligation. Payments from customers are generally collected at the time services are rendered, monthly, or quarterly. For contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606, revenue is either earned at a point in time or revenue is earned over time. Examples of revenue earned at a point in time are automated teller machine (“ATM”) transaction fees, wire transfer fees, overdraft fees and interchange fees. Revenue earned at a point in time is primarily based on the number and type of transactions that are generally derived from transactional information accumulated by the Company’s systems and is recognized immediately as the transactions occur or upon providing the service to complete the customer’s transaction. The Company is generally the principal in these contracts, with the exception of interchange fees, in which case the Company is acting as the agent and records revenue net of expenses paid to the principal. Examples of revenue earned over time, which generally occur on a monthly basis, are deposit account maintenance fees, investment advisory fees, merchant revenue, trust and investment management fees and safe deposit box fees. Revenue is generally derived from transactional information accumulated by the Company’s systems or those of third-parties and is recognized as the related transactions occur or services are rendered to the customer.

14.(1)COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIESNot within scope of ASC 606

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, substantially all of the Company’s revenues within the scope of ASC 606 are for performance obligations satisfied at a point in time.

Revenues recognized within scope of ASC 606

Asset management fees: Asset management fees are variable, since they are based on the underlying portfolio value, which is subject to market conditions and amounts invested by clients through the Trust Company. Asset management fees are recognized over the period that services are provided, and when the portfolio values are known or can be estimated at the end of each quarter.

Debit card and ATM fees: Debit and ATM interchange income represents fees earned when a debit card issued by the Bank is used. The Bank earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions through the MasterCard® payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the cardholders’ debit card. Certain expenses directly associated with the debit cards are recorded on a net basis with the interchange income.

Deposit related fees: Fees are earned on the Bank’s deposit accounts for various products offered to or services performed for the Bank’s customers. Fees include business account fees, non-sufficient fund fees, stop payment fees, wire services, safe deposit box and others. These fees are recognized on a daily, monthly or quarterly basis, depending on the type of service.

Loan related fees: Non-interest loan fee income is earned on loans that the Bank services, excluding loans serviced for the FHLMC which are not within the scope of ASC 606. Loan related fees include prepayment fees, late charges, brokered loan fees, maintenance fees and others. These fees are recognized on a daily, monthly, quarterly or annual basis, depending on the type of service.

Other: Fees earned on other services, such as merchant services or occasional non-recurring type services, are recognized at the time of the event or the applicable billing cycle.

Contract Balances

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had no significant contract liabilities where the Company had an obligation to transfer goods or services for which the Company had already received consideration. In addition, the Company had no material unsatisfied performance obligations as of this date.

13.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Off-balance sheet arrangements. In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments generally include commitments to originate mortgage, commercial and consumer loans. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company'sCompany’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments to originate loans are conditional and are honored for up to 45 days subject to the Company'sCompany’s usual terms and conditions. Collateral is not required to support commitments.


Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. These guarantees are primarily used to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies and is required in instances where the Company deems it necessary.

14.      LEASES

The Company has a finance lease for the shell of the building constructed as the Company's operations center which expires in November 2039. The Company is also obligated under various noncancelable operating lease agreements for land, buildings and equipment that require future minimum rental payments. For operating each lease, the Company records an operating lease right-of-use asset (representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term) and an operating lease liability (representing the obligation to make lease payments required under the terms of the lease). Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate – derived from information available at the lease commencement date – as the discount rate when determining the present value of lease payments. The Company does not have any operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Certain operating leases contain various provisions for increases in rental rates, based either on changes in the published Consumer Price Index or a predetermined escalation schedule. Certain operating leases provide the Company with the option to extend the lease term one or more times following expiration of the initial term. Lease extensions are not reasonably certain and the Company generally does not include payments occurring during option periods in the calculation of its operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. In accordance with ASC 842,  the Company records in the consolidated balance sheet operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of more than 12 months.

Item 2.  Management'sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


This report contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"of America (“GAAP”). These measures include net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company'sCompany’s performance. The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

COVID-19 Related Information

In response to the current global situation surrounding the novel coronavirus of 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic, the Company is offering a variety of relief options designed to support our customers and the communities we serve.

Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Participation – The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (“CARES Act”) authorized the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under the PPP which ended August 8, 2020. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (“CAA 2021”) reopened the PPP through May 31, 2021 and in January 2021, the Bank began accepting and processing loan applications under PPP round 2 (“PPP2”). As a qualified SBA lender, the Company was automatically authorized to originate PPP loans. The SBA guarantees 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers. The entire principal amount of the borrower’s PPP loan, including any accrued interest, is eligible to be forgiven and repaid by the SBA provided the borrower meets the SBA loan forgiveness requirements. In addition to the 1% interest earned on these loans, the SBA pays us fees for processing PPP loans. Through the conclusion of the initial PPP, we had funded PPP loans totaling $113.5 million. Through the conclusion of PPP2, we had funded PPP2 loans totaling $54.1 million. These PPP loans were originated primarily to existing customers who are small to midsize businesses as well as independent contractors, sole proprietors, partnerships and not-for-profits as allowed under the PPP guidance. As of June 30, 2021, after receipt of SBA loan forgiveness repayments, there were 36 loans with a remaining balance totaling $5.9 million related to the initial PPP round. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has not received any forgiveness applications for PPP2.

As of June 30, 2021, the total outstanding loan balance and unamortized fees related to PPP loans totaled $57.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The SBA has a simplified forgiveness process for PPP loans of $150,000 or less. As of June 30, 2021, the Bank held 302 PPP loans of $150,000 or less with a combined balance of $15.8 million.

Loan Modifications –

The Company is continuing to provide payment and financial relief programs for borrowers impacted by COVID-19. All loans modified due to COVID-19 are separately monitored and any request for continuation of relief beyond the initial modification will be reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had one commercial loan on an approved payment deferral that was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic totaling $563,000 which consisted of deferral of regularly scheduled principal and interest payments for a period of six months. As of June 30, 2021, there was one consumer personal line of credit on deferral, however, there was no outstanding balance at June 30, 2021. Further, four mortgage loans serviced for FHLMC totaling $1.1 million were approved for payment deferrals. These modifications were not classified as TDRs in accordance with the guidance of the CARES Act and subsequent bank regulatory guidance. We believe the steps we are taking are necessary to effectively manage our portfolio and assist our customers through the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the duration, impact and government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.


32

Branch Operations and Additional Customer Support – We have taken various steps to ensure the safety of our customers and our personnel. Many of our employees are continuing to working remotely or have flexible work schedules, and we have established measures within our offices to help ensure the safety of those employees who must work on-site. The Family First Coronavirus Response Act also provides additional flexibility to our employees to help navigate their individual challenges. The Company has been taking steps to resume normal branch activities with specific guidelines in place to help protect the safety of our customers.

Vancouver is located in Clark County, Washington, which is just north of Portland, Oregon. Many businesses are located in the Vancouver area because of the favorable tax structure and lower energy costs in Washington as compared to Oregon. Companies located in the Vancouver area include: Sharp Microelectronics, Hewlett Packard, Georgia Pacific, Underwriters Laboratory, WaferTech, Nautilus, Barrett Business Services, PeaceHealth, Fisher Investments and Banfield Pet Hospitals, as well as several support industries. In addition to this industry base, the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Area and the Portland metropolitan area are sources of tourism, which has helped to transform the area from its past dependence on the timber industry.

The Company'sCompany’s strategic plan includes targeting the commercial banking customer base in its primary market area for loan originations and deposit growth, specifically small and medium size businesses, professionals and wealth building individuals. In pursuit of these goals, the Company will seek to increase the loan portfolio consistent with its strategic plan and asset/liability and regulatory capital objectives, which includes maintaining a significant amount of commercial business and commercial real estate loans in its loan portfolio. Significant portions of our newrecent loan originations, – whichother than SBA PPP loans, are mainly concentrated in commercial business and commercial real estate loans which carry adjustable rates, higher yields or shorter terms and higher credit risk than traditional fixed-rate consumer real estate one-to-four family mortgages.


Our strategic plan also stresses increased emphasis on non-interest income, including increased fees for asset management through the Trust Company and deposit service charges. The strategic plan is designed to enhance earnings, reduce interest rate risk and provide a more complete range of financial services to customers and the local communities the Company serves. We believe we are well positioned to attract new customers and to increase our market share through our 1916 branches, including, among others, tennine in Clark County, fourthree in the Portland metropolitan area and three lending centers.

Operating Strategy


Fiscal year 2022 marks the 99th anniversary since the Bank began operations in 1923. The primary business strategy of the Company is to provide comprehensive banking and related financial services within its primary market area. The historical emphasis had been on residential real estate lending. Since 1998, however, the Company has been diversifying its loan portfolio through the expansion of its commercial and construction loan portfolios. At December 31, 2017June 30, 2021, commercial and construction loans represented 86.3%94.0% of total loans compared to 84.7%93.8% at March 31, 2017.2021. Commercial lending, including commercial real estate loans, typically has higher credit risk, greater interest margins and shorter terms than residential lending which can increase the loan portfolio's profitability.


The Company'sCompany’s goal is to deliver returns to shareholders by increasing higher-yielding assets (in particular, commercial real estate and commercial business loans), increasing core deposit balances, managing problem assets, reducing expenses, hiring experienced employees with a commercial lending focus and exploring expansion opportunities. The Company seeks to achieve these results by focusing on the following objectives:


Execution of our Business Plan. The Company is focused on increasing its loan portfolio, especially higher yielding commercial and construction loans, and its core deposits by expanding its customer base throughout its primary market areas. By emphasizing total relationship banking, the Company intends to deepen the relationships with its customers and increase individual customer profitability through cross-marketing programs, which allows the Company to better identify lending opportunities and services for customers. To build its core deposit base, the Company will continue to utilize additional product offerings, technology and a focus on customer service in working toward this goal. The Company will also continue to seek to expand its franchise through de novo branches, the selective acquisition of individual branches, loan purchases and whole bank transactions that meet its investment and market objectives, such asobjectives. In this regard, the recently completed acquisitionCompany previously announced plans for three new branches located in Clark County, Washington, to complement its existing branch network. New branches in both downtown Camas and in the Cascade Park neighborhood of certain assets and assumptionVancouver opened in fiscal 2021. The third new branch location in Ridgefield is expected to open in the fall of certain liabilities from MBank and Merchants Bancorp.

In the past several years, the Company has applied more conservativeThe Company’s approach to credit management uses well defined policies and stringentprocedures and disciplined underwriting practices to new loans, including, among other things, increasing the amount of required collateral or equity requirements, reducing loan-to-value ratios and increasing debt service coverage ratioscriteria resulting in improvedour strong asset quality and credit metrics/asset quality.metrics. Although the Company intends to prudently increase the percentage of its assets consisting of higher-yielding commercial real estate, real estate construction and commercial business loans, which offer higher risk-adjusted returns, shorter maturities and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations, the Company intends to manage credit exposure through the use of experienced bankers in these areas and a conservative approach to its lending.

This newThe capital conservation buffer requirement beganis required to be phased in starting in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year until fully implemented to an amount equal togreater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets in January 2019.assets.

For a savings and loanbank holding company, such as the Company, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis. The Federal Reserve expects the holding company'scompany’s subsidiary banks to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If the Company was subject to regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies at December 31, 2017,June 30, 2021, the Company would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.


At periodic intervals, the Company’s banking regulators routinely examine the Company’s financial condition and risk management processes as part of their legally prescribed oversight. Based on their examinations, these regulators can direct that the Company’s consolidated financial statements be adjusted in accordance with their findings. A future examination could include a review of certain transactions or other amounts reported in the Company’s 2022 consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The objective of the Bank'sBank’s liquidity management is to maintain ample cash flows to meet obligations for depositor withdrawals, to fund the borrowing needs of loan customers, and to fund ongoing operations. Core relationship deposits are the primary source of the Bank'sBank’s liquidity. As such, the Bank focuses on deposit relationships with local consumer and business clients who maintain multiple accounts and services at the Bank.


38

Liquidity management is both a short and long-term responsibility of the Company's management. The Company adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected loan sales, (iii) expected deposit flows, (iv) yields available on interest-bearing deposits and (v) its asset/liability management program objectives. Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency obligations. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional diversified and reliable sources of funds with the FHLB, the FRB and other wholesale facilities. These sources of funds may be used on a long or short-term basis to compensate for a reduction in other sources of funds or on a long-term basis to support lending activities.


The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans, maturing securities, FHLB advances and FRB borrowings. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and prepayment of mortgage loans and

30
mortgage-backed securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Management believes that its focus on core relationship deposits coupled with access to borrowing through reliable counterparties provides reasonable and prudent assurance that ample liquidity is available. However, depositor or counterparty behavior could change in response to competition, economic or market situations or other unforeseen circumstances, which could have liquidity implications that may require different strategic or operational actions.

The Company must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to help ensure the availability of sufficient funds for loan originations, deposit withdrawals and continuing operations, satisfy other financial commitments and take advantage of investment opportunities. During the ninethree months ended December 31, 2017,June 30, 2021, the CompanyBank used its sources of funds primarily to fund loan commitmentscommitments. At June 30, 2021, cash and purchasecash equivalents, certificates of deposit held for investment securities. At December 31, 2017, cash and available for sale investmentsinvestment securities totaled $255.0$603.8 million, or 22.6%37.3% of total assets. The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs; however, its primary liquidity management practice is to increase or decreasemanage short-term borrowings, including FRB borrowings and FHLB advances.advances consistent with its asset/liability objectives. At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2021, the CompanyBank had no advances from the FRB and maintains a credit facility with the FRB with available borrowing capacity of $54.3$45.4 million, from the FRB, subject to sufficient collateral. At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2021, the Bank had no advances from the FHLB advances totaled $1.1 million and the Company had an available credit facilityborrowing capacity of $275.4$239.4 million, subject to sufficient collateral and stock investment. At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2021, the CompanyBank had sufficient unpledged collateral to allow it to utilize its available borrowing capacity from the FRB and the FHLB. Borrowing capacity may, however, fluctuate based on acceptability and risk rating of loan collateral and counterparties could adjust discount rates applied to such collateral at their discretion.


An additional source of wholesale funding includes brokered certificates of deposit. While the BankCompany has utilized brokered deposits from time to time, the BankCompany historically has not extensively relied on brokered deposits to fund its operations. At December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2017,2021, the Bank had no wholesale brokered deposits. The Bank also participates in the CDARS and ICS deposit products, which allowsallow the Company to accept deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit for that depositor and obtain "pass-through"“pass-through” insurance for the total deposit. The Bank'sBank’s CDARS and ICS balances were $23.3$61.2 million, or 2.4%4.3% of total deposits, and $24.3$37.9 million, or 2.5%2.8% of total deposits, at December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2017,2021, respectively. In addition, the Bank is enrolled in an internet deposit listing service. Under this listing service, the Bank may post time deposit rates on an internet site where institutional investors have the ability to deposit funds with the Bank. At December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2017,2021, the Company had $1.3 million and $7.0 million ofno deposits respectively, through this listing service which were assumed in the MBank transaction.service. Although the Company did not originate any internet basedinternet-based deposits during the ninethree months ended December 31, 2017, or during the year ended March 31, 2017,June 30, 2021, the Company may do so in the future consistent with its asset/liability objectives. The combination of all the Bank'sBank’s funding sources gives the Bank available liquidity of $741.8 million,$1.1 billion, or 65.7%67.8% of total assets at December 31, 2017.


June 30, 2021.

At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2021, the Company had total commitments of $168.1$155.4 million, which includes commitments to extend credit of $32.5$27.6 million, unused lines of credit andtotaling $113.8 million, undisbursed balances of $133.1construction loans totaling $12.3 million, and standby letters of credit totaling $2.5$1.8 million. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from June 30, 2021 totaled $89.4$79.8 million. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its deposits as they mature. Offsetting these cash outflows are scheduled loan maturities of less than one year totaling $76.1 million.$38.2 million at June 30, 2021.

The allowance for loan losses was $10.9$17.6 million or 1.36%1.98% of total loans at December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 compared to $10.5$19.2 million or 1.35%2.03% of total loans at March 31, 2017.2021. The ----balanceCompany recorded a recapture of loan losses of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a provision for loan losses of $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses at DecemberJune 30, 2021 was primarily due to the continued improvement since March 31, 2017 reflects2020 in the relatively low levels of delinquent, nonperforming and classified loans, elevated levels of net recoveries, as well as stabilizing real estate valueseconomy associated with the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in our market areas. The Company recorded no provisionthe allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the expected the affect the pandemic would have on the respective industry exposures within our loan portfolio at that time. Our SBA PPP loans were omitted from the calculation of the required allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2021 and 2020 as these loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and management expects that a majority of SBA PPP borrowers will seek full or partial forgiveness of their loan obligations from the SBA, which in turn, the SBA will reimburse the Bank for the nine months ended December 31, 2017.

The coverage ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 409.15%4592.69% at December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 compared to 382.98%3358.67% at March 31, 2017.2021. At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2021, the Company identified $2.3 million$253,000 or 88.48%65.98% of its nonperforming loans as impaired and performed a specific valuation analysis on each loan resulting in $60,000 ofno specific reserves being required for these impaired loans.

Management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate at December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio, and the Company believes it has established its existing allowance for loan losses in accordance with GAAP. However, a decline in national and local economic conditions (including declines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic), results of examinations by the Company'sCompany’s banking regulators, or other factors could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect the Company'sCompany’s future financial condition and results of operations. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses will be adequate or that substantial increases will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate or should collateral values decline as a result of the factors discussed elsewhere in this document. For further information regarding the Company'sCompany’s impaired loans and allowance for loan losses, see Note 87 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

TDRs

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are loans for which the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial condition, has granted a concession to the borrower that it would otherwise not consider. A TDR typically involves a modification of terms such as a reduction of the stated interest rate or face amount of the loan, a reduction of accrued interest, and/or an extension of the maturity date(s) at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for a new loan with similar risk.


TDRs are considered impaired loans and as such, when a loan is deemed to be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured using discounted cash flows usingand the original note rate, except when the loan is collateral dependent. In these cases, the estimated fair value of the collateral (less any selling costs, if applicable) is used. Impairment is recognized as a specific component within the allowance for loan losses if the estimated value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan. When the amount of the impairment represents a confirmed loss, it is charged off against the allowance for loan losses. At December 31, 2017, the Company had TDRs totaling $8.0 million, of which $5.6 million were on accrual status. All of the Company'sCompany’s TDRs arewere paying as pursuant to their modified loan terms except for two commercial business TDR loans totaling $289,000 and two commercial real estate TDR loans totaling $1.3 million that defaulted since the loans were modified. The related amount of interest income recognized on TDRs was $228,000 and $394,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.


agreed at June 30, 2021.

The Company has determined that, in certain circumstances, it is appropriate to split a loan into multiple notes. This typically includes a nonperforming charged-off loan that is not supported by the cash flow of the relationship and a performing loan that is supported by the cash flow. These may also be split into multiple notes to align portions of the loan balance with the various sources of repayment when more than one exists. Generally, the new loans are restructured based on customary underwriting standards. In situations where they are not, the policy exception qualifies as a concession, and if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, the loans are accounted for as TDRs.


In March 2020, the Company began offering short-term loan modifications to assist borrowers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act along with a joint agency statement issued by banking regulatory agencies provides that a short-term modification made in response to COVID-19 and which meets certain criteria does not need to be accounted for as a TDR. Accordingly, the Company does not account for such loan modifications as TDRs. Loan modifications in accordance with the CARES Act are still subject to an impairment evaluation.

The accrual status of a loan may change after it has been classified as a TDR. The Company'sCompany’s general policy related to TDRs is to perform a credit evaluation of the borrower'sborrower’s financial condition and prospects for repayment under the revised terms. This evaluation includes consideration of the borrower'sborrower’s sustained historical repayment performance for a reasonable period of time. A sustained period of repayment performance generally would be a minimum of six months and may include repayments made prior to the restructuring date. If repayment of principal and interest appears doubtful, it is placed on non-accrual status.

Other loans of concern, which are classified as substandard loans and are not presently included in the non-accrual category, consist of loans where the borrowers have cash flow problems, or the collateral securing the respective loans may be inadequate. In either or both of these situations, the borrowers may be unable to comply with the present loan repayment terms, and the loans may subsequently be included in the non-accrual category. Management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to cover the probable losses inherent in these and other loans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Contractual Obligations


In the normal course of operations, the Company enters into certain contractual obligations and other commitments. Obligations generally relate to funding of operations through deposits and borrowings as well as leases for premises. Commitments generally relate to lending operations.


The Company has obligations under long-term operating and capital leases, principally for building space and land. Lease terms generally cover five-year periods, with options to extend, and are not subject to cancellation. During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company modified its lease agreement on its operations center reducing the Company's square footage leased and extending the lease agreement to November 2039.


The Company has commitments to originate fixed and variable rate mortgage loans to customers. Because some commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Undisbursed loan funds and unused lines of credit include funds not disbursed but committed to construction projects and home equity and commercial lines of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.


For further information regarding the Company'sCompany’s off-balance sheet arrangements and other contractual obligations, see NoteNotes 13 and 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.


Goodwill Valuation


Goodwill is initially recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite useful life and is tested, at least annually, for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has two reporting units, the Bank and the Trust Company, for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. All of the Company'sCompany’s goodwill has been allocated to the Bank reporting unit. The Company performs an annual review in the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indications of potential impairment exist, to determine if the recorded goodwill is impaired. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill at the reporting unit level is not considered impaired and no additional analysis is necessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and additional analysis must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit'sunit’s goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. Specifically, the Company would allocate the fair value to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that would calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, the Company would record an impairment charge for the difference.


A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decline in our expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; adverse action or assessment by a regulator; and unanticipated competition. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of these assets and could have a material impact on the Company'sCompany’s consolidated financial statements.


34

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31, 2017.2020. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. Step one of the goodwill impairment test estimates the fair value of the reporting unit utilizing the allocation of corporate value approach, the income approach, the whole bank transaction approach and the market approach in order to derive an enterprise value of the Company. The allocation of corporate value approach applies the aggregate market value of the Company and divides it among the reporting units. A key assumption in this approach is the control premium applied to the aggregate market value. A control premium is utilized as the value of a company from the perspective of a controlling interest is generally higher than the widely quoted market price per share. The Company used

43

an expected control premium of 30%35%, which was based on comparable transactional history. The income approach uses a reporting unit'sunit’s projection of estimated operating results and cash flows that are discounted using a rate that reflects current market conditions. The projection uses management'smanagement’s best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period including growth rates in loans and deposits, estimates of future expected changes in net interest margins and cash expenditures. Assumptions used by the Company in its discounted cash flow model (income approach) included an annual revenue growth rate that approximated 6.9%8.1%, a net interest margin that approximated 4.3%3.3% and a return on assets that ranged from 1.17%0.91% to 1.38%1.39% (average of 1.27%1.11%). In addition to utilizing the above projections of estimated operating results, key assumptions used to determine the fair value estimate under the income approach were the discount rate of 14.26%14.86% utilized for our cash flow estimates and a terminal value estimated at 1.81.43 times the ending book value of the reporting unit. The Company used a build-up approach in developing the discount rate that included: an assessment of the risk freerisk-free interest rate, the rate of return expected from publicly traded stocks, the industry the Company operates in and the size of the Company. The whole bank transaction approach estimates fair value by applying key financial variables in transactions involving acquisitions of similar institutions. In applying the whole bank transaction approach method, the Company identified transactions that occurred during the first 10 months of calendar 2020 utilizing a multiple of 1.1 times price to book value. The market approach estimates fair value by applying tangible book value multiples to the reporting unit'sunit’s operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics of the reporting unit. In applying the market approach method, the Company selected four publicly traded comparable institutions. After selecting comparable institutions, the Company derived the fair value of the reporting unit by completing a comparative analysis of the relationship between their financial metrics listed above and their market values utilizing a market multiple of 1.50.8 times tangible book value. The Company calculated a fair value of its reporting unit of $265.0$143.0 million using the corporate value approach, $196.5$179.0 million using the income approach, $184.0 million using the whole bank transaction approach and $275.0$180.0 million using the market approach, with a final concluded value of $250.0$181.0 million, with primaryhalf the weight given to the income approach and one quarter weight given to the whole bank approach and the market approach. No weight was given to the corporate value approach. The results of the Company'sCompany’s step one test indicated that the reporting unit'sunit’s fair value was greater than its carrying value and therefore no impairment of goodwill exists.


Even though the Company determined that there was no goodwill impairment, a sustained decline in the value of its stock price as well as values of other financial institutions, declines in revenue for the Company beyond our current forecasts, significant adverse changes in the operating environment for the financial industry or an increase in the value of our assets without an increase in the value of the reporting unit may result in a future impairment charge.


It is possible that changes in circumstances existing at the measurement date or at other times in the future, or in the numerous estimates associated with management'smanagement’s judgments, assumptions and estimates made in assessing the fair value of our goodwill, could result in an impairment charge of a portion or all of our goodwill. If the Company recorded an impairment charge, its financial position and results of operations would be adversely affected; however, such an impairment charge would have no impact on our liquidity, operations or regulatory capital.

The Company also completed a qualitative assessment of goodwill as of June 30, 2021 and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Bank (the reporting unit), exceeds its carrying value at June 30, 2021. If adverse economic conditions or decreases in the Company’s common stock price and market capitalization as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic were deemed sustained in the future rather than temporary, it may significantly affect the fair value of the reporting unit and may trigger future goodwill impairment charges. It is also possible that changes in circumstances existing at the measurement date or at other times in the future, or in the numerous estimates associated with management’s judgments, assumptions and estimates made in assessing the fair value of our goodwill, could result in an impairment charge of a portion or all of our goodwill. If the Company recorded an impairment charge, its financial position and results of operations would be adversely affected; however, such an impairment charge would have no impact on our liquidity, operations or regulatory capital.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 and 2016


2020

Net Income.Net income was $5.8 million, or $0.26 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $1.5 million,June 30, 2021, compared to $480,000, or $0.07$0.02 per diluted share and $2.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, respectively. Net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $7.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, and $5.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, respectively. Net income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 was negatively impacted due to the impact of the federal corporate tax rate change included in the Tax Act, which resulted in a $1.8 million net increase to the Company's provision for income taxes. The Company's income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 compared to the same prior year periods improved due to an increase inperiod. The Company’s net interest and non-interest income which was partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenseincreased primarily as a result of the MBank transaction.


recapture for loan losses of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a provision for loan losses of $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, the Company recognized a $479,000 BOLI death benefit during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that was not present for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Net Interest Income. The Company'sCompany’s profitability depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the income it receives on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. When the rate earned on interest-earning assets equals or exceeds the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, this positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income. The Company'sCompany’s results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government legislation and regulation, and monetary and fiscal policies.

Net interest income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 was $10.8$11.3 million, and $32.0an increase of $156,000 from $11.1 million respectively, representing a $2.3 million and $7.5 million increase, respectively, compared toduring the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016.same prior year period. The net interest margin for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 was 4.06%,3.07% compared to 3.75% and 3.73%3.65% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, respectively. This increaseJune 30, 2020. The decrease in the net interest margin was primarily the result of the low interest rate environment putting downward pressure on adjustable rate instruments combined with the impact of the low loan yields on the SBA PPP loan portfolio and lower loan yields on new loan originations and investment securities purchased causing a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets partially offset by the decrease in the average yield on interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease was also due to yields earned on interest-earning assets declining at a faster rate than interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities as changes in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits tend to lag changes in market interest rate changes.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $318,000 to $11.9 million compared to $12.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due to the decrease in interest and fees on loans receivable due primarily to the combined impact of the $45.2 million decline in the average balance of mortgage loans and the 18 basis point decrease in the average yield on mortgage loans to 4.88% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 5.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was offset by an increase in interest income from non-mortgage related loans associated to SBA PPP loans which have a favorable impact to our non-mortgage loan yields when SBA PPP loans are forgiven and the remaining deferred fees are recognized. The substantial increase in the average balance of loans receivableovernight cash balances as a result of organic loan growth and the acquiredincrease in deposit balances related to SBA PPP loans, as part ofis negatively impacting the MBank transaction. The accretion of the discountaverage yield on the acquired MBank loans of $632,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 contributed eightinterest earning assets which decreased 78 basis points to 3.24% for the increasethree months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 4.02% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Interest and dividend income included $892,000 and $610,000 of interest income and fees earned related to SBA PPP loans for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The average balance of net loans decreased $61.7 million to $925.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $986.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The average yield on net loans decreased to 4.67% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 4.69% for the same period in the prior year due primarily to the ongoing low interest margin. The remaining net discount on these purchasedrate environment and the impact of SBA PPP loans. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the average balance of SBA PPP loans was $2.4$80.3 million at December 31, 2017.and the average yield on SBA PPP loans was 4.46%, which included the recognition of the net deferred fees. The increaseimpact of SBA PPP loans on loan yields will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments or amounts forgiven by the SBA as certain criteria are met. This decrease in both the average balance and average yield of net interest income can also be attributed toloans, partially offset by the $139.5 million increase in the average balance of investment securities.

Interest Expense. Interest expense totaled $636,000 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 was $11.4 millionJune 30, 2021 and $33.7 million, respectively,2020, respectively. Interest expense on deposits decreased $416,000 to $442,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $9.0 million and $25.7 million, respectively,$858,000 for the same periodsperiod in the prior year. The increase was dueweighted average interest rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased 26 basis points to 0.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 0.45% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the weighted average interest rate on regular savings accounts and certificates of deposits contributed primarily to an increase in interest income on loans receivable and investment securities as a result of an increasethe overall decrease in the average balanceexpense on loans and investment securities.

The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in the interest rate related to variable rate subordinated debentures, which reprice quarterly based on the three-month LIBOR, and an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits is due primarily to proceeds from SBA PPP loans deposited directly into customer accounts, government stimulus checks and an increase in savings trends and a change in spending habits as a result of COVID-19.

Interest expense on borrowings decreased $58,000 to $194,000 for the MBank transaction.three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $252,000 for the same period in the prior year. The average balance of other interest-bearing liabilities decreased $21.1 million to $29.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $50.1 million for the same period in the prior year. At June 30, 2021, there were no outstanding FHLB borrowings as compared to $30.0 million at June 30, 2020.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio consistent with GAAP guidelines. The adequacy of the allowance is evaluated monthly to maintain the allowance at levels sufficient to provide for inherent losses existing at the balance sheet date. The key components to the evaluation are the Company'sCompany’s internal loan review function by its credit administration, which reviews and monitors the risk and quality of the loan portfolio; as well as the Company'sCompany’s external loan reviews and its loan classification systems. Credit officers are expected to monitor their portfolios and make recommendations to change loan grades whenever changes are warranted. Credit administration approves any changes to loan grades and monitors loan grades.


In accordance with GAAP, loans acquired from MBank during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 were recorded at their estimated fair value, which resulted in a net discount to the loans'loans’ contractual amounts, of which a portion reflects a discount for possible credit losses. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value, and, as a result, no allowance for loan losses is recorded for acquired loans at the acquisition date. The discount recorded on the acquired loans is not reflected in the allowance for loan losses or related allowance coverage ratios. WeHowever, we believe thisit should be considered by investors when comparing certain financial ratios of the Company's allowance for loan lossesCompany calculated in periods after the MBank transaction, compared to total loansthe same financial ratios of the Company in periods prior to the MBank transaction.


There The net discount on these acquired loans was no$651,000 and $722,000 at June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company recorded a recapture of loan losses of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and a  provision for loan losses $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The recapture of loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 is based primarily upon the improving economic conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic since March 31, 2021. The provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The lack of a provision for loan losses forJune 30, 2020 was primarily due to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 continues to be based upon net recoverieseconomic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic and its expected adverse economic effect on the respective industry exposures within our loan portfolio at that time. Any future decline in the level of delinquent, nonperformingnational and classified loans, as well as increases in real estate values in our market areas.


Net recoveries for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 were $250,000 and $339,000, respectively, compared to net recoveries for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 totaling $226,000 and $404,000, respectively. The net recoveries occurred primarilylocal economic conditions, as a result of the decreaseCOVID-19 pandemic or other factors, could result in charge-offs as nonperforming loans declined and the improvement and stabilization of real estate values in our market areas as well as ana material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Net recoveries on previously charged off loans.totaled $12,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to net charge-offs of $48,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Annualized net recoveries was (0.01)% compared to annualized net charge-offs of 0.02% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Nonperforming loans were $2.7$383,000 at June 30, 2021, compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2017 compared to $2.8 million at December 31, 2016.June 30, 2020. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 409.15%4592.69% at December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 compared to 369.18%1325.78% at December 31, 2016.June 30, 2020. See "Asset Quality"“Asset Quality” above for additional information related to asset quality that management considers in determining the provision for loan losses.


Impaired loans are subjected to an impairment analysis to determine an appropriate reserve amount to be held against each loan. As of December 31, 2017,June 30, 2021, the Company had identified $8.0$2.1 million of impaired loans. Because the significant majority of the impaired loans are collateral dependent, nearly all of the specific allowances are calculated based on the estimated fair value of the collateral. Of those impaired loans, $5.8$1.9 million have no specific valuation allowance as their estimated collateral value is equal to or exceeds the carrying cost,costs, which in some cases is the result of previous loan charge-offs. At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2021, charge-offs on these impaired loans totaled $143,000$85,000 from their original loan balances. The remaining $2.2 million have$249,000 of impaired loans has specific valuation allowances totaling $137,000.

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in the 20172021 Form 10-K.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures


An evaluation of the Company'sCompany’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a) - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company'sCompany’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company'sCompany’s senior management. The Company'sCompany’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company'sCompany’s disclosure controls and procedures as in effect on December 31, 2017June 30, 2021 were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company'sCompany’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'sSEC’s rules and forms. In the quarter ended December 31, 2017,June 30, 2021, the Company did not make any changes in its internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls.


While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and 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 Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. 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.controls. The design of any control procedure is 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; 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 attributable to errors or fraud may occur and not be detected.
