Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Central Valley Community Bancorp and subsidiary have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Central Valley Community Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary Central Valley Community Bank (the Bank) (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three-month interim periods ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The preparation of these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management has determined that since all of the banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Bank, all branches are located within the same economic environment, and management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, it is appropriate to aggregate the Bank branches and report them as a single operating segment. No customer accounts for more than 10 percent of revenues for the Company or the Bank.

Impact of New Financial Accounting Standards:

FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13 - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Subtopic 326): Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, commonly referred to as “CECL,” was issued June 2016. The provisions of the update eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold under current GAAP which requires reserves to be based on an incurred loss methodology. Under CECL, reserves required for financial assets measured at amortized cost will reflect an organization’s estimate of all expected credit losses over the contractual term of the financial asset and thereby require the use of reasonable and supportable forecasts to estimate future credit losses. Because CECL encompasses all financial assets carried at amortized cost, the requirement that reserves be established based on an organization’s reasonable and supportable estimate of expected credit losses extends to held to maturity (“HTM”) debt securities. Under the provisions of the update, credit losses recognized on available for sale (“AFS”) debt securities will be presented as an allowance as opposed to a write-down. In addition, CECL will modify the accounting for purchased loans, with credit deterioration since origination, so that reserves are established at the date of acquisition for purchased loans. Under current GAAP a purchased loan’s contractual balance is adjusted to fair value through a credit discount and no reserve is recorded on the purchased loan upon acquisition. Since under CECL, reserves will be established for purchased loans at the time of acquisition, the accounting for purchased loans is made more comparable to the accounting for originated loans. Finally, increased disclosure requirements under CECL require organizations to present the currently required credit quality disclosures disaggregated by the year of origination or vintage. The FASB expects that the evaluation of underwriting standards and credit quality trends by financial statement users will be enhanced with the additional vintage disclosures. On August 15, 2019, the FASB issued a proposed Accounting Standards Update (ASU), “Financial Instruments -Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates,” that would provide private entities and certain small public companies additional time to implement the standards on CECL, leases, and hedging. The final ASU extends the effective date for SEC filers, such as the Company, that are classified as smaller reporting companies to January 1, 2023.

The Company has formed an internal task force that is responsible for oversight of the Company’s implementation strategy for compliance with provisions of the new standard. The Company has also established a project management governance process to manage the implementation across affected disciplines. An external provider specializing in community bank loss driver and CECL reserving model design as well as other related consulting services has been retained, and we have begun to evaluate potential CECL modeling alternatives. As part of this process, the Company has determined potential loan pool segmentation and sub-segmentation under CECL, as well as begun to evaluate the key economic loss drivers for each segment. Further, the Company has begun developing internal controls around the CECL process, data, calculations and implementation. The Company presently plans to generate and evaluate model scenarios under CECL in tandem with its current reserving processes for interim and annual reporting periods during ~~2021~~third quarter of 2022 due to the fact the Company ~~elected to delay~~

~~Table of Contents~~`

elected to delay implementation of the CECL process as allowed by FASB. While the Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting this new guidance, management expects the impact of adoption will be significantly influenced by the composition and quality of the Company’s loans as well as the economic conditions as of the date of adoption. The Company also anticipates changes to the processes and procedures for calculating the reserve for credit losses and continues to evaluate the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements.

FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Subtopic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, was issued March 2020. This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is in the process of evaluating the provisions of this ASU and its effects on our consolidated financial statements. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance on activities subsequent to March 31, ~~2021~~2022 through December 31, 2022 will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2020, various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“the agencies”) issued a revised interagency statement encouraging financial institutions to work with customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and providing additional information regarding loan modifications. The revised interagency statement clarifies the interaction between the interagency statement issued on March 22, 2020 and the temporary relief provided by Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. Section 4013 allows financial institutions to suspend the requirements to classify certain loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). The revised statement also provides supervisory interpretations on past due and nonaccrual regulatory reporting of loan modification programs and regulatory capital. ~~This~~Section 4013 and the interagency guidance ~~is expected~~were applied by the Company to ~~reduce~~loan modifications made related to the COVID-19 pandemic as eligible and appropriate. The application of the guidance reduced the number of TDRs that ~~will be reported in future periods; however,~~were reported. In December 2020, the ~~amount is~~Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 was signed into law. Section 541 of this legislation, “Extension of Temporary Relief From Troubled Debt Restructurings and Insurer Clarification,” extended Section 4013 of the CARES Act to the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the termination of the national emergency declared relating to COVID-19. This relief ended on January 1, 2022.

Future TDRs are indeterminable and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the ~~scope~~economic recovery, market volatility and ~~duration of the pandemic and~~other actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties ~~in response to~~as a result of the ~~pandemic~~.pandemic.

Note 2. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is 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. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 — Quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments traded in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 —Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Management monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, we report the transfer at the beginning of the reporting period.

The estimated carrying and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows (in thousands):

These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument for sale at one time, nor do they attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business related to the instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates.

These estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market data and information about the financial instruments. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair values presented.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents — The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other banks, and Federal funds sold approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

(b) Investment Securities — Investment securities in Level 1 are mutual funds and fair values are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Fair values for investment securities classified in Level 2 are based on quoted market prices for similar securities in active markets.

For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators.

(c) Loans — Fair values of loans are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Purchased credit

~~Table of Contents~~`

impaired (PCI) loans are measured at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition. Carrying value is calculated as the present value of expected cash flows and approximates fair value and included in Level 3. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are initially valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses. For collateral dependent real estate loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals 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 independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. The estimated fair values of financial instruments disclosed above follow the guidance in ASU 2016-01 which prescribes an “exit price” approach in estimating and disclosing fair value of financial instruments incorporating discounts for credit, liquidity, and marketability factors.

(d) FHLB Stock — It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

(e) Deposits — Fair value of demand deposit, savings, and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. Fair value for fixed and variable rate certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates offered at each reporting date by the Company for certificates with similar remaining maturities resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(f) Subordinated Debentures — The fair values of the Company’s Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

(g) Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable — The fair value of accrued interest receivable and payable is based on the fair value hierarchy of the related asset or liability.

(h) Off-Balance Sheet Instruments — Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not considered significant for financial reporting purposes.

Securities in Level 1 are mutual funds and fair values are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Fair values for available-for-sale debt securities in Level 2 are based on quoted market prices for similar securities in active markets. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators.

Management evaluates the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings. During the ~~three months~~periods ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no transfers between levels occurred.

There were no Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at or during the ~~three months~~periods ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Also there were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Non-recurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These include assets and liabilities that are measured at the lower of cost or fair value that were recognized at

At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses. For collateral dependent real estate loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals 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 independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. The fair value of impaired loans is based on the fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans were determined to be collateral dependent and categorized as Level 3 due to ongoing real estate market conditions resulting in inactive market data, which in turn required the use of unobservable inputs and assumptions in fair value measurements. Impaired loans evaluated under the discounted cash flow method are excluded from the table above. The discounted cash flow methods as prescribed by ASC Topic 310 is not a fair value measurement since the discount rate utilized is the loan’s effective interest rate which is not necessarily a market rate. There were no changes in valuation techniques used during the three months ended ~~ended~~ March 31, 2022 or the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company periodically evaluates each investment security for other-than-temporary impairment, relying primarily on industry analyst reports, observation of market conditions, and interest rate fluctuations. The portion of the impairment that is attributable to a shortage in the present value of expected future cash flows relative to the amortized cost should be recorded as a current period charge to earnings. The discount rate in this analysis is the original yield expected at time of purchase.

As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company performed an analysis of the investment portfolio to determine whether any of the investments held in the portfolio had an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). The Company evaluated all individual available-for-sale investment securities with an unrealized loss at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and identified those that had an unrealized loss for at least a consecutive 12 month period, which had an unrealized loss at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 greater than 10% of the recorded book value on that date, or which had an unrealized loss of more than $75,000. The Company also analyzed any securities that may have been downgraded by credit rating agencies.

For those investment securities that met the evaluation criteria, management obtained and reviewed the most recently published national credit ratings for those investment securities. There were 0no OTTI losses recorded during the three months ended March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

U.S. Treasury Securities

At March 31, 2022, the Company held 1 U.S. Treasury security which was in a loss position for less than 12 months.

U.S. Government Agencies

At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company held 1 U.S. Government agency security which was in a ~~gain position.~~loss position for less than 12 months.

Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions

At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company held 114 obligations of states and political subdivision securities of which 4383 were in a loss position for less than 12 months and 4 have been in a loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in obligations of states and political subdivision securities were caused by interest rate changes. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

U.S. Government Sponsored Entities and Agencies Collateralized by Residential Mortgage Obligations

At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company held ~~114~~108 U.S. Government sponsored entity and agency securities collateralized by residential mortgage obligations of which 433 were in a loss position for less than 12 months and 1510 have been in a loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage obligations were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed or supported by an agency or sponsored entity of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability to hold and does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

Private Label Mortgage and Asset Backed Securities

At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company had a total of 36100 Private Label Mortgage and Asset Backed Securities (PLMABS). 1373 of the PLMABS securities were in a loss position for less than 12 months and ~~1 has~~13 have been in loss for more than 12 months at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell, those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be the maturity date, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The Company continues to monitor these securities for indications that declines in value, if any, may be other-than-temporary.

Corporate Debt Securities

At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company held 1013 corporate debt securities of which 411 were in a loss position for less than 12 months. The unrealized loss on the Company’s investments in corporate debt security was caused by interest rate changes. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale investment securities at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 by contractual maturity is shown below (in thousands).

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses (the “Allowance”) is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. The Allowance is established through a provision for credit losses which is charged to expense. Additions to the Allowance are expected to maintain the adequacy of the total Allowance after credit losses and loan growth. Credit exposures determined to be uncollectible are charged against the Allowance. Cash received on previously charged-off credits is recorded as a recovery to the Allowance. The overall Allowance consists of 2 primary components, specific reserves related to impaired loans and general reserves for probable incurred losses related to loans that are not impaired.

~~During~~For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~1 loan was~~the terms of certain loans were modified as ~~troubled debt restructurings.~~TDRs. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan or an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. During the same period, there were no troubled debt restructurings in which the amount of principal or accrued interest owed from the borrower was forgiven or which resulted in a charge-off or change to the allowance for loan losses.

As discussed in Note 1 to these financial statements, Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus

~~Table of Contents~~`

(Revised)” provided banks an option to elect to not account for certain loan modifications related to COVID-19 as TDRs as long as the borrowers were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 or at the time of modification program implementation, respectively, and the borrowers meet other applicable criteria. ~~The remaining TDRs disclosed below were not related~~In accordance with such guidance, during 2020 and throughout 2021 the Company offered short-term modifications in response to COVID-19 ~~modifications.

Note 5. Goodwill

Business combinations involving the Company’s acquisition of the equity interests or net assets of another enterprise give rise to goodwill. Total goodwill at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, was $53,777,000 consisting of $8,934,000, $14,643,000, $6,340,000, $10,394,000, and $13,466,000 representing the excess of the cost of Bank of Madera County, Service 1st Bancorp, Visalia Community Bank, Sierra Vista Bank, and Folsom Lake Bank, respectively, over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transactions accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The value of goodwill is ultimately derived from the Company’s ability to generate net earnings after the acquisitions and is not deductible for tax purposes. A significant decline in net earnings, among other factors, could be indicative of a decline in the fair value of goodwill and result in impairment. For that reason, goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment. The Company’s annual goodwill test is completed as of September 30 each year.

Goodwill is also tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company below its carrying amount. ~~With the economic risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic continuing~~No such events or circumstances arose during the first ~~quarter~~three months of 2021, management performed a qualitative assessment including performance trends, market information and economic data and determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value. As such no quantitative goodwill impairment test was required as of March 31, 2021.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

Service 1st Capital Trust I is a Delaware business trust formed by Service 1st. The Company succeeded to all of the rights and obligations of Service 1st in connection with the merger with Service 1st as of November 12, 2008. The Trust was formed on August 17, 2006 for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Service 1st. Under applicable regulatory guidance, the amount of trust preferred securities that is eligible as Tier 1 capital is limited to 25% of the Company’s Tier 1 capital on a pro forma basis. At March 31, 2022, all of the trust preferred securities that have been issued qualify as Tier 1 capital. The trust preferred securities mature on October 7, 2036, are redeemable at the Company’s option, and require quarterly distributions by the Trust to the holder of the trust preferred securities at a variable interest rate which will adjust quarterly to equal the three month LIBOR plus 1.60%.

The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities to purchase approximately $5,155,000 in aggregate principal amount of Service 1st’s junior subordinated notes (the Notes). The Notes bear interest at the same variable interest rate during the same quarterly periods as the trust preferred securities. The Notes are redeemable by the Company on any January 7, April 7, July 7, or October 7 or at any time within 90 days following the occurrence of certain events, such as: (i) a change in the regulatory capital treatment of the Notes (ii) in the event the Trust is deemed an investment company or (iii) upon the occurrence of certain adverse tax events. In each such case, the Company may redeem the Notes for their aggregate principal amount, plus any accrued but unpaid interest.

Holders of the trust preferred securities are entitled to a cumulative cash distribution on the liquidation amount of $1,000 per security. For each January 7, April 7, July 7 or October 7 of each year, the rate will be adjusted to equal the three month LIBOR plus 1.60%. As of March 31, 2022, the rate was 1.84%. Interest expense recognized by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $333,000 and $24,000, respectively.

Subordinated Debentures

On November 12, 2021, the Company completed a private placement of $35.0 million aggregate principal amount of its fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes (“Subordinated Debt”) due December 1, 2031. The Subordinated Debt initially bears a fixed interest rate of 3.125% per year. Commencing on December 1, 2026, the interest rate on the Subordinated Debt will reset each quarter at a floating interest rate equal to the then-current three month term SOFR plus 210 basis points. The Company may at its option redeem in whole or in part the Subordinated Debt on or after November 12, 2026 without a premium. The Subordinated Debt is treated as Tier 2 Capital for regulatory purposes.

Note 7.8. Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk - In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for loans.

Commitments to extend credit amounting to ~~$349,244,000~~$346,752,000 and ~~$326,179,000~~$326,108,000 were outstanding at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract unless waived by the Bank. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.

Included in commitments to extend credit are undisbursed lines of credit totaling ~~$337,815,000~~$346,140,000 and ~~$314,774,000~~$325,674,000 at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. Undisbursed lines of credit include credits whereby customers can repay principal and request principal advances during the term of the loan at their discretion and most expire between one and 12 months.

Included in undisbursed lines of credit are commitments for the undisbursed portions of construction loans totaling ~~$74,665,000~~$88,584,000 and ~~$79,669,000~~$93,263,000 as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. These commitments are agreements to lend to customers, subject to meeting certain construction progress requirements established in the contracts. The underlying construction loans have fixed expiration dates.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees amounting to ~~$11,429,000~~$611,000 and ~~$11,405,000~~$434,000 were outstanding at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private financial arrangements. ~~Most standby~~Standby letters of credit and guarantees carry a one year term or ~~less.~~less, many have auto-renewal features. The fair value of the liability related to these standby letters of credit, which represents the fees received for their issuance, was not significant at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 or December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company recognizes these fees as revenue over the term of the commitment or when the commitment is used.

The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Management does not anticipate any material loss will result from the outstanding commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. At March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the balance of a contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations was ~~$250,000.~~$115,000. The contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations is calculated by management using an appropriate, systematic, and consistently applied process. While related to credit losses, this allocation is not a part of the allowance for credit losses and is considered separately as a liability for accounting and regulatory reporting purposes, and is included in Other Liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet.

In 2018, the Company sold its credit card portfolio to a third party vendor. Part of the sale of the portfolio was to provide a guarantee of certain accounts which, as of March 31, ~~2021, the total guarantee~~2022, was ~~$2,475,000.~~$2,144,500.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such actions will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company.

Note 8.9. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS), which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options or restricted stock awards, result in the

Effective June 2, 2017, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) whereby our employees may purchase Company common stock through payroll deductions of between 1 percent and 15 percent of pay in each pay period. Shares are purchased at the end of each of the three-month offering periods at a 10 percent discount from the lower of the closing market price on the Offering Date (first trading day of each offering period) or the Investment Date (last trading day of each offering period). The Company reserved 500,000 common shares to be set aside for the ESPP, and there were ~~453,549~~442,401 shares available for future purchase under the plan as of March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

Stock Option Plan

The Company bases the fair value of the stock options granted on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model that uses assumptions based on expected option life and the level of estimated forfeitures, expected stock volatility, risk free interest rate, and dividend yield. The expected term and level of estimated forfeitures of the Company’s stock options are based on the Company’s own historical experience. Stock volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U. S. Treasury yield curve for the periods within the contractual life of the stock options in effect at the time of grant. The compensation cost for stock options granted is based on the weighted average grant date fair value per share.

~~NaN~~No options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were granted during the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~

Restricted common stock (all of which are shares of our common stock) is subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. The cost of these awards is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of the grant.

The following table summarizes restricted stock and performance award activity for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 as follows:


		Shares	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value			Shares	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested outstanding shares at December 31, 2020		30,013	$	15.60
Nonvested outstanding shares at December 31, 2021					Nonvested outstanding shares at December 31, 2021	24,177	$	20.50
Granted	Granted	10,529	$	14.98	Granted	17,847	$	21.25

Forfeited	Forfeited	(247)	$	20.26	Forfeited	(83)	$	19.99
Nonvested outstanding shares at March 31, 2021		27,788	$	15.81
Nonvested outstanding shares at March 31, 2022					Nonvested outstanding shares at March 31, 2022	28,586	$	20.86

The shares awarded to employees and directors under the restricted stock agreements vest on applicable vesting dates only to the extent the recipient of the shares is then an employee or a director of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and each recipient will forfeit all of the shares that have not vested on the date his or her employment or service is terminated. Performance common stock awards vest immediately.

As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, there were ~~27,788~~28,586 shares of restricted stock that are nonvested and expected to vest. As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, there was ~~$126,000~~$284,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted common stock awards. Restricted stock compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of ~~0.81~~2.84 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. Restricted common stock awards had an intrinsic value of ~~$2,761,000~~$3,432,000 at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

OVERVIEW

Central Valley Community Bancorp (Company)

We are a central California-based bank holding company for a one-bank subsidiary, Central Valley Community Bank (Bank). We provide traditional commercial banking services to small and medium-sized businesses and individuals in the communities along the Highway 99 corridor in the Fresno, El Dorado, Madera, Merced, Placer, Sacramento, Stanislaus, San Joaquin, and Tulare Counties of central California. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the Federal Reserve Bank.

Central Valley Community Bank (Bank)

The Bank commenced operations in January 1980 as a state-chartered bank. As a state-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to primary supervision, examination and regulation by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI). The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to the applicable limits thereof, and the Bank is subject to supervision, examination and regulations of the FDIC.

The Bank is a member of the FDIC, which currently insures customer deposits in each member bank to a maximum of $250,000 per depositor. For this insurance, the Bank is subject to the rules and regulations of the FDIC, and, as is the case with all insured banks, may be required to pay a quarterly statutory assessment.

The Bank operates 20 full-service branches which serve the communities of Cameron Park, Clovis, Exeter, Folsom, Fresno, Gold River, Kerman, Lodi, Madera, Merced, Modesto, Oakhurst, Prather, Roseville, Sacramento, Stockton, and Visalia, California. Additionally, the Bank operates Real Estate, Agribusiness and SBA departments that originate loans in California. According to the June 30, ~~2020~~2021 FDIC data, the Bank’s branches in Fresno, Madera, San Joaquin, and Tulare Counties had a ~~3.40%~~3.83% combined deposit market share of all insured depositories. Our total market share in the other counties we operate in (El Dorado, Merced, Placer, Sacramento, and Stanislaus Counties), was less than 1.00% in ~~2020.~~2021.

Dividend Declared ~~and Stock Repurchase Plan Announced~~

On April ~~21, 2021,~~20, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a $0.12 per share cash dividend payable on May ~~21, 2021~~20, 2022 to shareholders of record as of May 7, 2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not repurchase or retire any shares. The share repurchase plan began on March 18, 2021 and will end on March 17,6, 2022.

~~COVID-19 Pandemic~~

Economic Conditions

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant, unprecedented disruption around the world that has affected daily living and negatively impacted the local, ~~economy~~state, national and global economies. It has caused significant economic and financial disruption that have adversely affected or otherwise impacted our businesses. The COVID-19 has not yet been globally contained and the number of cases continues to increase in many locations, including in the ~~San Joaquin Valley~~United States in which we operate. During the course of the continuing pandemic, there have been varying governmental and ~~greater Sacramento area. Federal, State~~other responses to slow or control the spread of the COVID-19 and ~~local shelter-in-place recommendations were enacted~~to mitigate the adverse impact of the COVID-19, such as stay at home orders, restrictions on business activities, health and safety guidelines, economic relief for individuals and businesses, and monetary policy measures, such responses have met varying degrees of success, and it remains uncertain whether these actions will be successful in ~~our~~a sustained manner. We cannot predict at this time the scope and duration of the pandemic.

Despite the continuing challenges in recent months, there has been some improvement in the economic environment and resilience in the markets in ~~March 2020, causing many businesses to close~~which we operate. With the seemingly wider availability and ~~workers to be furloughed or lose jobs. Essential purpose entities such as medical professionals, food~~distribution of vaccinations and ~~agricultural businesses, and transportation and logistical businesses were exempted from~~ the ~~closures; however, unemployment rates are increasing~~easing of some restrictions in ~~our local market area as compared to~~ the ~~prior quarter end.~~

~~The Company is closely monitoring the effects~~United States, we have seen steps towards broader containment. However, there still remains much uncertainty around containment of the pandemic, which will depend on ~~our loan~~various factors, including but not limited to, the extent and ~~deposit customers. Our management team is focused on assessing~~spread of variants of the ~~risks in our loan portfolio~~virus; efficacy of vaccines; and ~~working with our customers~~government and other actions to ~~minimize our losses. While some industry segments are being more impacted by~~mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Through the COVID-19 pandemic, ~~than others, we believe that our credit risk related~~the Company was able to the loans outstanding to customers in the higher risk categories is well managed. This is primarily due to the existence of SBA and other loan guarantee programs, personal guarantees, and adequate collateralization.

Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout. Most notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law at the end of March 2020 as a $2 trillion legislative package. The CARES Act provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a Troubled Debt Restructuring pursuant to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Pursuantreact quickly to these ~~new capabilities, we have implemented~~changes because of the commitment and flexibility of its workforce coupled with a ~~loan program to allow customers who may be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to defer loan principal and interest payments for up to 90 days.~~

The CARES Act established a $349 billion loan program administered through the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”), referred to as the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). Under the PPP, small businesses, sole proprietorships, independent contractors, and self-employed individuals may apply for loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders that enroll in the program, subject to numerous limitations and eligibility criteria. After the initial $349 billion in funds for the PPP was exhausted, an additional $310 billion in funding for PPP loans was authorized. As a preferred SBA lender, we are participating in the PPP to help provide loans to ourwell-prepared business ~~customers to provide them with additional working capital.~~continuity plan. The Company has ~~worked diligently with the SBA to qualify clients to receive PPP loans. PPP~~

~~Table of Contents~~`

borrowers who can demonstrate that the funding received has been used for certain purposes such as to cover payroll and rent costs and meet certain other requirements, can qualify for partial or full federal relief on loan principal and interest. Nonqualifying borrowers or borrowers who have not applied for forgiveness, who received loans under the CARES Act, are contractually obligated to begin making monthly repayments on principal and interest six months after their loans have funded.

On January 13, 2021, the SBA reopened the PPP for second draw loans to small businesses and non-profit organizations that did receive a loan through the initial PPP phase. At least $25 billion has been set aside for second draw PPP loans to eligible borrowers with a maximum of 10 employees or for loans of $250,000 or less to eligible borrowers in low or moderate income neighborhoods. Generally speaking, businesses with more than 300 employees and/or less than a 25% reduction in gross receipts between comparable quarters in 2019 and 2020 are not eligible for second draw loans. Further, maximum loan amounts have been increased for accommodation and food service businesses. Recently, we began accepting applications for the second round of PPP loans. As of March 31, 2021 we have received approximately 434 applications totaling $72 million.

~~The federal bank regulatory agencies, along with their state counterparts, have issued guidance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and have~~ taken ~~a number of unprecedented~~various steps to help ~~banks navigate~~our customers, employees, and communities, while maintaining safe and sound banking operations.

Agriculture and agricultural-related businesses remain a critical part of the Central Valley’s economy. The Valley’s agricultural production is widely diversified, producing nuts, vegetables, fruit, cattle, dairy products, and cotton. The continued future success of agriculture related businesses is highly dependent on the availability of water and is subject to ~~focus on~~fluctuation in worldwide commodity prices, currency exchanges, and demand. From time to time, California experiences severe droughts or adverse weather issues, which could significantly harm the business ~~continuity~~of our customers and ~~pandemic planning; adding pandemic scenarios~~the credit quality of the loans to ~~stress testing; encouraging bank use of capital buffers~~those customers. Currently, California is experiencing multi-year drought conditions which impacts surface water deliveries to customers. In reaction to these conditions, we closely monitor the surface water availability with customer specific budgeting and ~~reserves in lending programs; permitting~~third party information and surveys. There are also certain regulatory reporting extensions; reducing margin requirements on swaps; permitting certain otherwise prohibited investments in investment funds; issuing guidance to encourage banks to work with customers affected byimpacts that limit the ~~pandemic~~water than can be pumped from underground sources. Both sources are closely considered and encourage loan workouts; and providing credit under the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) for certain pandemic related loans, investments and public service. Moreover, because of the need for social distancing measures, the agencies revamped the manner in which they conducted periodic examinations of their regular institutions, including making greater use of off-site reviews. The Federal Reserve also issued guidance encouraging banking institutions to utilize its discount window for loans and intraday credit extended by its Reserve Banks to help households and businesses impacted by the pandemic and announced numerous funding facilities. The FDIC has also acted to mitigate the deposit insurance assessment effects of participatingmonitored in the ~~PPP~~granting and monitoring of our loan exposures, along with related issues affecting our customers.

~~We have also taken measures to protect the health and safety~~we will remain vigilant for identifying signs of our employees by implementing remote work arrangements to the full extent possible, and by adjusting banking center hours and operational measures to promote social distancing.

The management team continues to analyze economic conditions~~ in our geographic markets and perform stress testing of our investment portfolio as well as our loan portfolio. Based on the Company’s capital levels, conservative underwriting policies, low loan-to-deposit ratio, loan concentration diversification, and suburban geographical marketplace, management expects to be ablean effort to manage ~~the economic risks~~credit quality and ~~uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and remain adequately capitalized.~~

~~Financial position and results of operations~~

The Company’s interest income could be reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, the Company is actively working with COVID-19 affected borrowers to defer their payments, interest, and fees. While interest and fees will still accrue to income through normal GAAP accounting, should eventual credit losses on these deferred payments emerge, interest income and fees accrued would need to be reversed. In such a scenario, interest income in future periods could be negatively impacted. At this time, the Company is unable to project the materiality of such an impact, but recognizes the breadth of the economic impact may affect its borrowers’ ability to repay in future periods.

~~Capital and liquidity~~

While the Company believes that it has sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by COVID-19, its reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by further credit losses. The Company relies on cash on hand as well as dividends from its subsidiary bank to service its debt. If the Company’s capital deteriorates such that its subsidiary bank is unable to pay dividends to it for an extended period of time, the Company may not be able to service its debt.

The Company maintains access to multiple sources of liquidity. Wholesale funding markets have remained open to us, but rates for short term funding have recently been volatile. If funding costs are elevated for an extended period of time, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s net interest margin. If an extended recession caused large numbers of the Company’s deposit customers to withdraw their funds, the Company might become more reliant on volatile or more expensive sources of funding.

~~Asset valuation~~

~~Table of Contents~~`

Currently, the Company does not expect COVID-19 to affect its ability to account timely for the assets on its balance sheet; however, this could change in future periods. While certain valuation assumptions and judgments will change to account for pandemic-related circumstances such as widening credit spreads, the Company does not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with GAAP.

COVID-19 could cause a further and sustained decline in the Company’s stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform a goodwill impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that the Company concludes that all or a portion of its goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital. Management considered the COVID-19 related economic downturn to be such a triggering event and therefore performed qualitative assessments at the end of the first, second and fourth quarters of 2020. Given the continued economic impact of the pandemic, management determined it appropriate to perform a quantitative test as of September 30, 2020. Management engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist with the performance of the quantitative goodwill impairment test in the third quarter of 2020. Based on this quantitative test, it was determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value as of September 30, 2020. With the economic risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic continuing during the first quarter of 2021, management performed a qualitative assessment including performance trends, market information and economic data and determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value.

~~Processes, controls and business continuity plan~~

The Company has invoked its Board approved Pandemic Preparedness Plan that includes a remote working strategy. The Company does not anticipate incurring additional material cost related to its continued deployment of the remote working strategy. No material operational or internal control challenges or risks have been identified to date. The Company does not anticipate significant challenges to its ability to maintain its systems and controls in light of the measures the Company has taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Company does not currently face any material resource constraint through the implementation of its business continuity plans.

~~Lending operations and accommodations to borrowers~~

~~In keeping with regulatory guidance to~~ work with borrowers during this unprecedented situation and as outlined in the CARES Act, the Company is executing a payment deferral program for its borrowing clients that are adversely affected by the pandemic. Depending on the demonstrated need of the client, the Company is deferring either the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment for upwhere possible to 90 days. As of March 31, 2021, based on the Bank’s discussion with these customers, loan customers with deferred payments of principal, interest, or both on loans totaling approximately $2.8 million were outstanding. In accordance with interagency guidance issued in March 2020 and Section 4013 of the Cares Act, these short-term deferrals are not considered troubled debt restructurings.

With the passage of the PPP administered by the SBA, the Company is actively participating in assisting its customers with applications for resources through the program. PPP loans have a two-year term and earn interest at 1%. The Company believes that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company closed 1,523 PPP loans representing $286,010,000 in funding. It is the Company’s understanding that loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. Should those circumstances change, the Company could be required to establish additional allowance for credit losses through additional provision for credit losses charged to earnings.

mitigate any losses.

~~Credit~~

The Company is working with customers directly affected by COVID-19. The Company is prepared to offer short-term assistance in accordance with regulatory guidelines. As a result of the current economic environment caused by COVID-19, the Company is engaging in more frequent communication with borrowers to better understand their situation and the challenges faced, allowing it to respond proactively as needs and issues arise. Should economic conditions worsen, the Company could experience further increases in its required allowance for credit losses and record additional provisions for credit losses. It is possible that the Company’s asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

Throughout 2020, 2021 and the first ~~quarter~~three months of ~~2021,~~2022, we adjusted the economic risk factor methodology to incorporate the current economic implications from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) decreased to ~~3.76%~~3.19% for the quarter ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~4.47%~~3.76% for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The net interest margin period-to-period comparisons were impacted by the decrease in the yield on the average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, by the decrease in the yield on the loan portfolio ~~the decrease in the effective yield on interest earning deposits in other banks and Federal Funds sold,~~ and the ~~decrease~~increase in the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities. The effective yield on average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, decreased to 2.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 2.07% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021, compared~~2021.

Excluding PPP loans from total average loans, the effective yield on average loans for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was 4.87% and 5.11%, respectively. The cost of deposits (calculated by dividing annualized interest expense on interest bearing deposits by total deposits), decreased to ~~0.06%~~0.05% for the quarter ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~0.13%~~0.06% for the same period in ~~2020.~~ 2021.

· Return on average assets;

· Development of revenue streams, including net interest income and non-interest income;

· Asset quality;

· Asset growth;

· Capital adequacy;

· Operating efficiency; and

· Liquidity

Return to Our Shareholders

Our return to shareholders is determined in a ratio that measures the return on average equity (ROE)~~. ROE~~, which is ~~a ratio that measures~~ net income divided by average shareholders’ equity. Our annualized ROE was 10.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 11.50% for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 12.17% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021 compared to 8.85% for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 11.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.~~2021. Our net income for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021 increased $856,000~~2022 decreased $1,393,000 or ~~12.92%~~18.63% to ~~$7,479,000~~$6,086,000 compared to ~~$6,623,000~~$7,479,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, primarily driven by ~~an increase~~no reversal of provision for credit losses,a decrease in ~~net interest income,~~loan placement fees, a decrease in non-interest ~~expenses, a reversal of the provision for credit losses,~~income, and an increase in ~~loan placement fees, and~~total non-interest expenses, partially offset by a decrease in the provision for income taxes, ~~offset by a decrease~~an increase in interchange fees, an increase in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, ~~and a decrease~~an increase in service charge income, and an increase in net interest income. Net interest margin (NIM) decreased 7157 basis points for the three-month period ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Diluted EPS was ~~$0.60~~$0.51 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~$0.52~~$0.60 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021.

Return on Average Assets

Our return on average assets (ROA) is a ratio that we use to compare our performance with other banks and bank holding companies. Our annualized ROA for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~1.42%~~0.99% compared to ~~1.11%~~1.25% for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~1.66%~~1.42% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The decrease in ROA for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to March 31, ~~2020~~2021 was due to the ~~increase in in average assets, notwithstanding the increase~~decrease in net income. Average assets for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$2,104,077,000~~$2,460,025,000 compared to ~~$1,832,987,000~~$2,267,615,000 for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Median ROA for our peer group was ~~1.06%~~0.93% for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Peer group data from S&P Global Market Intelligence includes bank holding companies in central California with assets from $1 billion to $3.5 billion.

Development of Revenue Streams

Over the past several years, we have focused on not only improving net income, but improving the consistency of our revenue streams in order to create more predictable future earnings and reduce the effect of changes in our operating environment on our net income. Specifically, we have focused on net interest income through a variety of processes, including increases in average interest earning assets, and minimizing the effects of the recent interest rate changes on our net interest margin. The Company’s net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) decreased to ~~3.76%~~3.19% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~4.47%~~3.76% for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The decrease in net interest margin in the period-over-period comparison resulted primarily from the decrease in the effective yield on average investment securities (including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold), ~~and a~~the decrease in the yield on the Company’s loan ~~portfolio.~~portfolio, and the increase on the cost of interest bearing liabilities. Interest-bearing liabilities continue to benefit from low interest rates. In comparing the two periods ending March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, the effective yield on total earning assets decreased 7953 basis points, while the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities ~~decreased 14~~increased 7 basis points and the cost of total deposits decreased to ~~0.06%~~0.05% compared to ~~0.13%~~0.06%. Net interest income before the reversal of provision for credit losses for the three-month period ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$17,555,000~~$17,597,000 compared to ~~$16,029,000~~$17,555,000 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021.

Our non-interest income generally consists of service charges and fees on deposit accounts, fee income from loan placements and other services, appreciation in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, net gains from sales of investment securities, FHLB dividends, and other income. Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 decreased ~~$4,542,000~~$165,000 or ~~69.44%~~8.25%, to ~~$1,999,000~~$1,834,000 compared to ~~$6,541,000~~$1,999,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The decrease resulted primarily from decreases in loan placement fees and other income, offset by increases in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, service charge income, ~~gain related to the collection of life insurance proceeds, and~~ FHLB dividends; ~~offset by increases in loan placement fees,~~ and interchange fees, compared to the comparable ~~2020~~2021 period. Further detail of non-interest income is provided below.

Asset Quality

For all banks and bank holding companies, asset quality has a significant impact on the overall financial condition and results of operations. Asset quality is measured in terms of percentage of total loans and total assets and is a key element in estimating the future earnings of a company. Total nonperforming assets were ~~$3,783,000~~$292,000 and ~~$3,278,000~~$946,000 at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. Nonperforming assets totaled ~~0.35%~~0.03% of gross loans as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~0.30%~~0.09% of gross loans as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was ~~0.17%~~0.01% as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~0.16%~~0.04% as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The nonperforming assets at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 consisted of nonaccrual loans of ~~$3,783,000~~$292,000 and $3,278,000, respectively. The Company had no other real estate owned (OREO) or repossessed assets at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 or December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Management maintains certain loans that have been brought current by the borrower (less than 30 days delinquent) on nonaccrual status until such time as management has determined that the loans are likely to remain current in future periods.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of the outstanding loan balance was ~~1.11%~~0.97% as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~1.17%~~0.92% as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The ratio of net charge-off (recovery) to average loans was ~~(0.35)~~(0.10)% ~~as of~~for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~(0.05)~~(0.09)% as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Asset Growth

As revenues from both net interest income and non-interest income are a function of asset size, the growth in assets has a direct impact in increasing net income and therefore ROE and ROA. The majority of our assets are loans and investment securities, and the majority of our liabilities are deposits, and therefore the ability to generate deposits as a funding source for loans and investments is fundamental to our asset growth. Total assets ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$196,427,000~~$27,109,000 or ~~9.80%~~1.11% during the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 to ~~$2,200,523,000~~$2,423,030,000 compared to ~~$2,004,096,000~~$2,450,139,000 as of December 31, ~~2020, primarily due to the Company’s participation in the PPP.~~2021. Total gross loans decreased by ~~1.09%~~2.61% or ~~$12,007,000~~$27,069,000 to ~~$1,090,340,000~~$1,012,042,000 as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$1,102,347,000~~$1,039,111,000 as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The gross loan decrease consisted of a decrease of $14,999,000 in the PPP loans, as well as a decrease of $12,070,000 in non-PPP loan growth. Total deposits increased ~~11.59%~~1.86% to ~~$1,922,403,000~~$2,162,360,000 as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$1,722,710,000~~$2,122,797,000 as of

December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company’s deposit balances for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 increased through organic ~~growth and PPP loan proceeds retained in customer deposit accounts.~~growth. Our loan-to-deposit ratio at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~56.72%~~46.80% compared to ~~63.99%~~48.95% at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The loan-to-deposit ratio of our peers was ~~80.00%~~71.00% at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Further discussion of loans and deposits is below.

Capital Adequacy

Capital serves as a source of funds and helps protect depositors and shareholders against potential losses. The Company has historically maintained substantial levels of capital. The assessment of capital adequacy is dependent on several factors including asset quality, earnings trends, liquidity and economic conditions. Maintenance of adequate capital levels is integral to providing stability to the Company. The Company needs to maintain substantial levels of regulatory capital to give it flexibility in the changing regulatory environment and to respond to changes in the market and economic conditions including acquisition opportunities.

The Company and the Bank are each subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements may cause certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative and qualitative measures. These measures were established by bank regulatory agencies to ensure capital adequacy. As of August 30, 2018, bank holding companies with consolidated assets of less than $3 billion and banks like Central Valley Community Bank became subject to new capital requirements, and certain provisions of the new rules were phased in through 2019 under the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III. As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Bank met or exceeded all regulatory capital requirements inclusive of the capital buffer. The Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the regulatory guidelines for a well-capitalized financial institution under the Basel III regulatory requirements at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The Company’s regulatory capital ratios are presented in the table in the “Capital” section below.

Operating Efficiency

Operating efficiency is the measure of how efficiently earnings before provision for credit losses and taxes are generated as a percentage of revenue. When measuring operating efficiency, a lower ratio is more favorable. The Company’s efficiency ratio (operating expenses, excluding amortization of intangibles and foreclosed property expense, divided by net interest income before provision for credit losses (computed on a tax equivalent basis) plus non-interest income, excluding gains and losses from sales of securities and OREO, and gains related to the collection of life insurance proceeds) was 57.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 56.34% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021 compared to 65.71% for~~2021. The deterioration in the ~~three months ended March 31, 2020. The improvement in the~~

~~Table of Contents~~`

efficiency ratio was due to the ~~growth~~decrease in non-interest income ~~along with~~outpacing the ~~decrease~~increase in non-interest expense. Further discussion of the change in net interest income and ~~decrease~~increase in operating expenses is below.

The Company’s net interest income before provision for credit losses on a non tax-equivalent basis plus non-interest income, net of investment securities related gains, ~~increased 9.86%~~decreased 1.49% to ~~$19,904,000~~$19,608,000 for the first three months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$18,117,000~~$19,904,000 for the same period in ~~2020,~~2021, while operating expenses, net of losses on sale of assets, and amortization of core deposit intangibles, ~~decreased 5.80%~~increased 0.81% to ~~$11,214,000~~$11,305,000 from ~~$11,904,000~~$11,214,000 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021.

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves the Bank’s ability to meet cash flow requirements arising from fluctuations in deposit levels and demands of daily operations, which include providing for customers’ credit needs, funding of securities purchases, and ongoing repayment of borrowings. Our liquidity is actively managed on a daily basis and reviewed periodically by our management and Directors’ Asset/Liability Committee. This process is intended to ensure the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet our funding needs, including adequate cash flow for off-balance sheet commitments. Our primary sources of liquidity are derived from financing activities which include the acceptance of customer and, to a lesser extent, broker deposits, Federal funds facilities and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”). We have available unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks totaling approximately $110,000,000 and secured borrowing lines of approximately ~~$244,763,000~~$284,114,000 with the FHLB. These funding sources are augmented by collection of principal and interest on loans, the routine maturities and pay downs of securities from our investment securities portfolio, the stability of our core deposits, and the ability to sell investment securities. Primary uses of funds include origination and purchases of loans, withdrawals of and interest payments on deposits, purchases of investment securities, and payment of operating expenses.

We had liquid assets (cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other banks, Federal funds sold, available-for-sale securities, and equity securities) totaling ~~$991,060,000~~$1,257,664,000 or ~~45.04%~~51.90% of total assets at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~$788,004,000~~$1,280,091,000 or ~~39.32%~~52.25% of total assets as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income for the Three Months Ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, ~~2020~~2021

Net income ~~increased~~decreased to $6,086,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $7,479,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021 compared to $6,623,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.~~2021. Basic and diluted earnings per share for March 31, ~~2021~~2022 were ~~$0.60~~$0.51 and ~~$0.60,~~$0.51, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the same period in ~~2020~~2021 were ~~$0.52~~$0.60 and ~~$0.52,~~$0.60, respectively. Annualized ROE was 10.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 12.17% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021 compared to 11.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.~~2021. Annualized ROA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was 0.99% and ~~2020 was~~ 1.42% ~~and 1.66%~~, respectively.

The ~~increase~~decrease in net income for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period in ~~2020~~2021 was primarily driven by an increase in ~~net interest income, a decrease in~~ non-interest expense, ano reversal of provision for credit losses, ~~an increase~~and a decrease in loan placement fees, ~~and a decrease in provision for income taxes,~~ partially offset by ~~a decrease~~an increase in net interest income, an increase in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment ~~securities.~~securities, a decrease in provision for income taxes, and an increase in service charge income. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company recorded ~~a $1,800,000~~no reversal of provision for credit losses, compared to a ~~$1,375,000~~$1,800,000 reversal of provision during the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The reversal of provision ~~to the allowance~~ for credit losses resulted from our assessment of the overall adequacy of the allowance for credit losses considering a number of factors as discussed in the “Allowance for Credit Losses” section. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company adjusted the economic risk factor methodology to incorporate the current economic implications from the COVID-19 ~~pandemic.~~pandemic as well as the continuing labor shortage and ongoing supply chain disruptions.

Interest Income and Expense

Net interest income is the most significant component of our income from operations. Net interest income (the “interest rate spread”) is the difference between the gross interest and fees earned on the loan and investment portfolios and the interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Net interest income depends on the volume of and interest rate earned on ~~interest earning~~interest-earning assets and the volume of and interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

The following table sets forth a summary of average balances with corresponding interest income and interest expense as well as average yield and cost information for the periods presented. Average balances are derived from daily balances, and nonaccrual loans are not included as interest earning assets for purposes of this table.

Interest and fee income from loans ~~increased $867,000~~decreased $1,604,000 or ~~6.72%~~11.65% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. Net interest income during the first three months of ~~2021~~2022 was ~~positively~~negatively impacted by ~~an increase~~a decrease in average total loans of ~~$153,932,000~~$59,860,000 or ~~16.67%~~(5.56)% to ~~$1,077,140,000~~$1,017,280,000 compared to ~~$923,208,000~~$1,077,140,000 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The yield on average loans, excluding nonaccrual loans, was ~~5.18%~~4.85% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~5.62%~~5.18% for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. Net interest income for the period ending March 31, ~~2021~~2022 was benefited by approximately ~~$430,000~~$286,000 in nonrecurring income from prepayment penalties, compared to ~~$238,000~~$430,000 recorded in the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The impact to interest income from the accretion of the loan marks on acquired loans was ~~$173,000~~$222,000 and ~~$693,000~~$173,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The remaining balance of accretable loan marks on acquired loans as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$2,422,000.~~$1,572,000.

Interest income from total investments on a non tax-equivalent basis (total investments include investment securities, Federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits in other banks, and other securities) increased ~~$474,000~~$1,939,000 in the first three months of ~~2021~~2022 to ~~$4,082,000~~$6,021,000 compared to ~~$3,608,000~~$4,082,000 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The yield on average total investments (total securities and interest-earning deposits) decreased 735 basis points to ~~2.07%~~2.02% for the three month period ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~2.80%~~2.07% for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. Average total securities and interest-earning deposits for the first three months of ~~2021~~2022 increased ~~$334,965,000~~$411,248,000 or ~~64.21%~~48.01% to ~~$856,632,000~~$1,267,880,000 compared to ~~$521,667,000~~$856,632,000 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. Income from investments represents ~~23.25%~~34.22% of net interest income for the first three months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~22.51%~~23.25% for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021.

In an effort to increase yields, without accepting unreasonable risk, a significant portion of the investment portfolio is in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we held ~~$322,306,000~~$697,117,000 or ~~41.93%~~60.01% of the total fair value of the investment portfolio in CMOs with an average yield of ~~1.52%~~1.82% as compared to ~~$299,806,000~~$527,659,000 and ~~$266,228,000~~$322,306,000 with average yields of ~~2.15%~~2.08% and ~~2.85%~~1.52% at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. We invest in CMOs and MBS as part of our overall strategy to increase our net interest margin. CMOs and MBS by their nature react to changes in interest rates. In a normal declining rate environment, prepayments from CMOs and MBS would be expected to increase and the expected life of the investment would be expected to shorten. Conversely, if interest rates increase, prepayments normally would be expected to decline and the average life of the CMOs and MBS would be expected to extend. However, in the current economic environment, prepayments may not behave according to historical norms. Premium amortization and discount accretion of these investments affects our net interest income. Management monitors the prepayment speed of these investments and adjusts premium amortization and discount accretion based on several factors. These factors include the type of investment, the investment structure, interest rates, interest rates on new mortgage

~~Table of Contents~~`

loans, expectation of interest rate changes, current economic conditions, the level of principal remaining on the bond, the bond coupon rate, the bond origination date, and volume of available bonds in market. The calculation of premium amortization and

discount accretion represents management’s reasonable estimate of principal pay downs inherent in the total investment portfolio.

The net-of-tax unrealized ~~gain~~loss on the investment portfolio was ~~$5,262,000~~$49,287,000 at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and is reflected in the Company’s equity. At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the average life of the investment portfolio was ~~4.47~~4.93 years and the fair value of the portfolio reflected a net pre-tax unrealized ~~gain~~loss of ~~$7,470,000.~~$69,974,000. Management reviews fair value declines on individual investment securities to determine whether they represent an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for more detail. For the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, no OTTI was recorded. Additional deterioration in the market values of our investment securities, if any, may require the Company to recognize OTTI losses in future periods.

A component of the Company’s strategic plan has been to use its investment portfolio to offset, in part, its interest rate risk relating to variable rate loans. At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we estimate an immediate rate increase of 200 basis points would result in an estimated decrease in the market value of the investment portfolio by approximately ~~$88,000,000~~$119,000 or ~~9.23%~~9.77%. Conversely, with an immediate rate decrease of 200 basis points, the estimated increase in the market value of the investment portfolio would be ~~$83,000,000~~$(123,000) or ~~8.71%~~(10.10)%. Our modeling environment assumes management would take no action during an immediate shock of 200 basis points. However, the Company uses those increments to measure its interest rate risk in accordance with regulatory requirements and risk tolerance policy limits established by the Board of Directors to measure the possible future risk in the investment portfolio.

Management’s review of all investments before purchase includes an analysis of how the security will perform under several interest rate scenarios to monitor whether investments are consistent with our investment policy. The policy addresses issues of average life, duration, concentration guidelines, prohibited investments, impairment, and prohibited practices.

Total interest income on a non-tax equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 increased ~~$1,341,000~~$335,000 or ~~8.12%~~1.88% to ~~$17,847,000~~$18,182,000 compared to ~~$16,506,000~~$17,847,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The yield on interest earning assets decreased 7953 basis points to ~~3.82%~~3.29% on a fully tax equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 from ~~4.61%~~3.82% for the period ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The decrease was the result of yield changes, decrease in interest rates, and asset mix changes. Average interest earning assets increased to $2,285,160,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1,933,772,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021 compared to $1,444,875,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.~~2021. The ~~$488,897,000~~$351,388,000 increase in average earning assets was attributed to the ~~$334,965,000~~$411,248,000 increase in average investments, ~~and~~offset by a ~~$153,932,000~~$59,860,000 or ~~16.67% increase~~(5.56)% decrease in average loans.

Interest expense on deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $252,000 and ~~2020 was~~ $268,000, ~~and $432,000,~~ respectively. The average interest rate on interest bearing deposits decreased to ~~0.11%~~0.08% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~0.23%~~0.11% for the same period ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Average other borrowed funds were $39,474,000 with an effective rate of 3.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $5,155,000 with an effective rate of 1.86% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021 compared to $5,155,000 with an effective rate of 3.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.~~2021. Total interest expense on other borrowed funds was $333,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $24,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021 and $45,000 for~~2021. Included in other borrowings are the ~~three months ended March 31, 2020. Other borrowings include~~junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures acquired from Service 1st, subordinated debt, advances on lines of credit, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), ~~advances on available unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks,~~ and overnight borrowings. The junior subordinated ~~deferrable interest debentures. The~~ debentures ~~were acquired in the merger with Service 1st and~~ carry a floating rate based on the three month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.60%. The rates were 1.84% and ~~3.90%~~1.73% at March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively.~~ respectively. The subordinated debt, issued in 2021, initially bears a fixed interest rate of 3.125% per year until December 1, 2026 when the interest rate will reset to a floating rate. See the section on “Financial Condition” for more detail.

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities ~~decreased 14~~increased 7 basis points to ~~0.12%~~0.19% for the three-month period ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~0.26%~~0.12% for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021.

Net Interest Income before Provision for Credit Losses

Net interest income before the reversal of provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 increased by ~~$1,526,000~~$42,000 or ~~9.52%~~0.24% to ~~$17,555,000~~$17,597,000 compared to ~~$16,029,000~~$17,555,000 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The increase was a result of yield changes, asset mix changes, and an increase in average ~~interest bearing liabilities,~~earning assets, partially offset by an increase in average ~~earning assets.~~interest bearing liabilities.

Provision for Credit Losses

We provide for probable incurred credit losses through a charge to operating income based upon the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, historical losses, and nonperforming assets, economic and environmental conditions and other factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve recognition in estimating credit losses. Credit risk is inherent in the business of making loans. The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses on loans through charges to earnings, which are presented in the statements of income as the provision for credit losses on loans. Specifically identifiable and quantifiable known losses are promptly charged off against the allowance. Loans are charged off when they are considered uncollectible or when continuance as an active earning bank asset is not warranted.

The establishment of an adequate credit allowance is based on an allowance model that utilizes qualitative and quantitative factors, historical losses, loan level risk ratings and portfolio management tools. The Board of Directors has established initial responsibility for the accuracy of credit risk ratings with the individual credit officer and oversight from Credit Administration who ensures the accuracy of the risk ratings. Quarterly, the credit officers must certify the current risk ratings of the loans in their portfolio. Credit Administration reviews the certifications and reports to the Board of Directors ~~Audit~~Audit/Compliance Committee. At least annually, the loan portfolio, including risk ratings, is reviewed by a third party credit reviewer. Regulatory agencies also review the loan portfolio on a periodic basis. See “Allowance for Credit Losses” for more information on the Company’s Allowance for Loan ~~Loss..~~Loss.

Quarterly, the Chief Credit Officer (CCO) reviews the specific reserve calculations for all impaired credits. Additionally, the CCO is responsible to ensure that the general reserves on non-impaired loans are properly set each quarter. This process includes the utilization of loan delinquency reports, classified asset reports, collateral analysis and portfolio concentration reports to assist in accurately assessing credit risk and establishing appropriate reserves.

The allowance for credit losses is reviewed at least quarterly by the Board of ~~Directors Audit~~Directors’ Audit/Compliance Committee and by the Board of Directors. General reserves are allocated to loan portfolio categories using percentages which are based on both historical risk elements such as delinquencies and losses and predictive risk elements such as economic, competitive and environmental factors. We have adopted the specific reserve approach to allocate reserves to each impaired credit for the purpose of estimating potential loss exposure. Although the allowance for credit losses is allocated to various portfolio categories, it is general in nature and available for the loan portfolio in its entirety. Changes in the allowance for credit losses may be required based on the results of independent loan portfolio examinations, regulatory agency examinations, or our own internal review process. Additions are also required when, in management’s judgment, the allowance does not properly reflect the portfolio’s probable loss exposure. Management believes that all adjustments, if any, to the allowance for credit losses are supported by the timely and consistent application of methodologies and processes resulting in detailed documentation of the allowance calculation and other portfolio trending analysis.

Loans are charged to the allowance for credit losses when the loans are deemed uncollectible. It is the policy of management to make additions to the allowance so that it remains adequate to cover all probable incurred credit losses that exist in the portfolio at that time. We assign qualitative and environmental factors (Q factors) to each loan category. Q factors include reserves held for the effects of lending policies, economic trends, and portfolio trends along with other dynamics which may cause additional stress to the portfolio.

Managing high-risk credits includes developing a business strategy with the customer to mitigate our potential losses. Management continues to monitor these credits with a view to identifying as early as possible when, and to what extent, additional provisions may be necessary. Management believes that the level of allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial and real estate loans has been adjusted accordingly.

During the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company recorded ~~a $1,800,000~~no reversal of provision for credit losses, compared to a ~~$1,375,000 provision during~~$1,800,000 reversal of provision during the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The reversal of provision ~~to the allowance~~ for credit losses resulted from our assessment of the overall adequacy of the allowance for credit losses considering a number of factors as discussed in the “Allowance for Credit Losses” section. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company adjusted the economic risk ~~factor methodology~~and interest rate factors to incorporate the ~~current economic~~potential and realized implications from ~~the COVID-19 pandemic.~~rising interest rates, input price increases and supply chain backlogs.

The Company had net recoveries totaling ~~$941,000~~$264,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, and ~~$41,000~~$941,000 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021.

Nonperforming loans, consisting entirely of nonaccrual loans, were ~~$3,783,000~~$292,000 and ~~$3,278,000~~$946,000 at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, and ~~$1,115,000~~$3,783,000 at March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.03% at March 31, 2022 compared to 0.09% at December 31, 2021 and 0.35% at March 31, ~~2021 compared to 0.30% at December 31, 2020 and 0.12% at March 31, 2020.~~2021. The Company had no other real estate owned (OREO) at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 or December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company held no repossessed assets at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 or December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

The annualized net charge-off (recovery) ratio, which reflects net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans was ~~(0.35)~~(0.10)% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, and ~~(0.02)~~(0.35)% for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021.

Economic pressures may negatively impact the financial condition of borrowers to whom the Company has extended credit and as a result, when negative economic conditions are anticipated, we may be required to make significant provisions to the allowance for credit losses. The Bank conducts banking ~~operation~~operations principally in California’s Central Valley. The Central Valley is largely dependent on agriculture. The agricultural economy in the Central Valley is therefore important to our business, financial performance and results of operations. We are also dependent in a large part upon the business activity, population growth, income levels and real estate activity in this market area. A downturn in agriculture and the agricultural related businesses could have a material adverse effect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The agricultural industry has been affected by declines in prices and the changes in yields on various crops and other agricultural commodities. Similarly, weaker prices could reduce the cash flows generated by farms and the value of agricultural land in our local markets and thereby increase the risk of default by our borrowers or reduce the foreclosure value of agricultural land and equipment that serve as collateral offor our loans. Further declines in commodity prices or collateral values may increase the

incidence of default by our borrowers. Moreover, weaker prices might threaten farming operations in the Central Valley, reducing market demand for agricultural lending. In particular, farm income has seen recent declines, and in line with the downturn in farm income, farmland prices are coming under pressure.

We have been and will continue to be proactive in looking for signs of deterioration within the loan portfolio in an effort to manage credit quality and work with borrowers where possible to mitigate losses. As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, there were ~~$34.3~~$10.7 million in classified loans of which ~~$1.2~~$2.5 million related ~~to agricultural real estate, $9.1 million~~ to commercial and industrial loans, ~~$3.2~~$2.1 million to agricultural production, ~~$7.0~~$3.6 million to owner occupied real estate, ~~owner occupied, $9.6~~and $2.5 million in commercial real ~~estate, $3.2 million to real estate construction and other land loans, and $0.9 million to consumer equity loans and lines of credit.~~estate. This compares to ~~$36.1 million~~$8.5 in classified loans of which ~~$1.2~~$2.6 million related ~~to agricultural real estate, $10.4 million~~ to commercial and industrial loans, ~~$3.3~~$2.4 million to agricultural production, ~~$7.3~~$3.6 million to ~~real estate~~ owner occupied ~~$9.6 million to commercial~~ real estate ~~$1.0 million to consumer equity and lines of credit, and $3.2 million to real estate construction and other land loans~~ as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we believe, based on all current and available information, the allowance for credit losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses within the loan portfolio. However, no assurance can be given that we may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period. Refer to the “Allowance for Credit Losses” section for further information.

Net Interest Income after Provision for Credit Losses

Net interest income, after the provision for credit losses, was ~~$19,355,000~~$17,597,000 for the three months period ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~$14,654,000~~$19,355,000 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income is comprised of customer service charges, loan placement fees, net gains on sales and calls of investment securities, appreciation in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, FHLB dividends, and other income. Non-interest income was ~~$1,999,000~~$1,834,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$6,541,000~~$1,999,000 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~$4,542,000~~$165,000 or ~~69.44%~~8.25% decrease in non-interest income during the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 was primarily driven by a a decrease in loan placement fees of $358,000 and a decrease of ~~$4,198,000~~$276,000 in other income, offset by an increase of $206,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, ~~a decrease~~an increase in service charge income of ~~$214,000, a decrease~~$107,000, an increase of ~~$479,000~~$72,000 in ~~other income,~~interchange fees, an increase of $69,000 in appreciation in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, and ~~a decrease~~an increase in FHLB dividends of ~~$37,000, offset by an increase in loan placement fees of $358,000 and an increase of $37,000 in interchange fees.~~$15,000.

During the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we realized a net gain on sales and calls of investment securities of $0$206,000 compared to ~~$4,198,000~~a no net gains for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. The net gains realized on sales and calls of investment securities in ~~2020~~2022 were the result of a partial restructuring of the investment portfolio designed to improve the future performance of the portfolio.

Customer service charges ~~decreased $214,000~~increased $107,000 or ~~33.13%~~24.77% to ~~$432,000~~$539,000 for the first three months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$646,000~~$432,000 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. Interchange fees increased ~~$37,000~~$72,000 to ~~$370,000~~$442,000 the first three months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$333,000~~$370,000 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. Loan placement fees ~~increased~~decreased $358,000 or ~~119.73%~~54.49% to ~~$657,000~~$299,000 for the first three months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$299,000~~$657,000 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. Other income decreased ~~$479,000~~$276,000 the first three months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period in ~~2020. The decrease in other income resulted from a $297,000 gain recorded the first three months of 2020 related to the collection of life insurance proceeds.~~2021.

The Bank holds stock from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of San Francisco in conjunction with our borrowing capacity and generally earns quarterly dividends. We currently hold $5,595,000 in FHLB stock. We received dividends totaling ~~$70,000~~$85,000 in the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~$107,000~~$70,000 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021.

Non-Interest Expenses

Salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, information technology, regulatory assessments, professional services, Internet banking, and data processing are the major categories of non-interest expenses. Non-interest expenses ~~decreased $690,000~~increased $57,000 or ~~5.71%~~0.50% to $11,445,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $11,388,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021, compared to $12,078,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.~~2021. The net ~~decrease~~increase for the first three months of ~~2021~~2022 was primarily the result of ~~decreases~~increases in information technology of $199,000, regulatory assessments of $61,000, occupancy and equipment expenses of $49,000, professional services of $18,000, advertising of $11,000, donations of $6,000, general insurance of $3,000, salaries and employee benefits of ~~$574,000, professional services of $102,000, occupancy and equipment~~$6,000, directors’ expenses of ~~$31,000, information technology of $49,000,~~$4,000, amortization of software of ~~$33,000, advertising of $44,000, and directors’ expenses of $151,000,~~$3,000, partially offset by ~~increases~~decreases in internet banking of $103,000, data processing expenses of ~~$281,000, regulatory assessments of $114,000,~~$76,000, personnel of ~~$112,000, and other non-interest~~$70,000, ATM/Debit card expenses of ~~$7,000.~~$30,000, operating losses of $17,000, stationary and supplies of $16,000, armored courier of $13,000, and postage of $5,000.

The Company’s efficiency ratio, measured as the percentage of non-interest expenses (exclusive of amortization of core deposit intangible assets and foreclosure expenses) to net interest income before provision for credit losses (calculated on a fully tax equivalent basis) plus non-interest income (exclusive of net realized gains on sales and calls of investments, OREO related gains and losses, and gains related to the collection of life insurance proceeds) was ~~56.34%~~57.66% for the three months ended

Full time equivalent employees were 244 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 269 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021, compared~~2021.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $49,000 or 4.40% to ~~273~~$1,162,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in total salaries and employee benefits was the result of a decrease of $1,232,000 in officers’ expenses related to the change in the discount rate used to calculate the liability for salary continuation, deferred compensation, and split dollar plans; offset by an increase of approximately $659,000 in salaries and benefits. A portion of the salaries and benefits increase was related to a $214,000 accrual for severance pay.

~~Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $31,000 or 2.71%~~2022 compared to $1,113,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021 compared to $1,144,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.~~2021. The Company made no changes in its depreciation expense methodology. The Company operated 20 full-service offices at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and at March 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Data processing expense ~~increased~~decreased to ~~$617,000~~$541,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$336,000~~$617,000 for the same period in ~~2020.~~2021.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was 23.79% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 24.95% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021 compared to 27.36% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.~~2021. The Company reported an income tax provision of $1,900,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $2,487,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021, compared to $2,494,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.~~2021. The effective tax rate was affected by the increase in tax-exempt interest. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. If deemed necessary, the Company maintains a reserve for uncertain income taxes where the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained upon examination do not meet a more-likely-than-not criteria. As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, there was no reserve for uncertain tax positions.

Fair Value

The Company measures the fair values of its financial instruments utilizing a hierarchical framework associated with the level of observable pricing scenarios utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates to the level of the observable pricing scenario. Financial instruments with readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of observable pricing and a lesser degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments rarely traded or not quoted will generally have little or no observable pricing and a higher degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Observable pricing scenarios are impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established and the characteristics specific to the transaction. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) for additional information about the level of pricing transparency associated with financial instruments carried at fair value.

Investments

Our investment portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage backed obligations, private label mortgage and asset backed securities (PLMABS), corporate debt securities, and obligations of states and political subdivision securities and are classified at the date of acquisition as available for sale or held to maturity. As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, investment securities with a fair value of ~~$177,938,000,~~$223,954,000, or ~~23.15%~~19.28% of our investment securities portfolio, were held as collateral for public funds, short and long-term borrowings, treasury, tax, and for other purposes. Our investment policies are established by the Board of Directors and implemented by management. Our policies are designed primarily to provide and maintain liquidity, to enable us to meet our pledging requirements for public money and borrowing arrangements, to generate a favorable return on investments without incurring undue interest rate and credit risk, and to complement our lending activities.

The level of our investment portfolio as a percentage of our total earning assets is generally considered higher than our peers due primarily to a comparatively low loan-to-deposit ratio. Our loan-to-deposit ratio at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~56.72%~~46.80% compared to ~~63.99%~~48.95% at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The loan-to-deposit ratio of our peers was ~~80.00%~~71.00% at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The total investment portfolio, including Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits in other banks, ~~increased 27.35%~~decreased 2.02% or ~~$206,148,000~~$25,278,000 to ~~$959,977,000~~$1,225,401,000 at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, from ~~$753,829,000~~$1,250,679,000 at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio reflected a net unrealized ~~gain~~loss of ~~$7,470,000~~$69,974,000 at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to a net unrealized gain of ~~$21,091,000~~$10,835,000 at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

The Board and management have had periodic discussions about our strategy for risk management in dealing with potential losses should interest rates begin to rise. We have been managing the portfolio with an objective of optimizing risk and return in various interest rate scenarios. We do not attempt to predict future interest rates, but we analyze the cash flows of our investment portfolio in different interest rate scenarios in connection with the rest of our balance sheet to design an investment portfolio that optimizes performance.

~~Table of Contents~~`

Management evaluated all available-for-sale investment securities with an unrealized loss at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and identified those that had an unrealized loss for at least a consecutive 12 month period, which had an unrealized loss at

March 31, ~~2021~~2022 greater than 10% of the recorded book value on that date, or which had an unrealized loss of more than $75,000. Management also analyzed any securities that may have been downgraded by credit rating agencies.

For those securities that met the evaluation criteria, management obtained and reviewed the most recently published national credit ratings for those securities. There were no OTTI losses recorded during the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

At March 31, 2022, the Company held one U.S. Treasury securities which was in a loss position for less than 12 months.

At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company held one U.S. Government agency security which was in a ~~gain position.~~loss position for less than 12 months.

At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company held 114 obligations of states and political subdivision securities of which 4383 were in a loss position for less than 12 months and four have been in a loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in obligations of states and political subdivision securities and corporate debt securities were caused by interest rate changes. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company held ~~114~~108 U.S. Government sponsored entity and agency securities collateralized by residential mortgage obligations of which ~~four~~33 were in a loss position for less than 12 months and 15ten have been in a loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies collateralized by residential mortgage obligations were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency or sponsored entity of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability to hold and does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company had a total of 36100 Private Label Mortgage and Asset Backed Securities (PLMABS) ~~with a remaining principal balance of $108,053,000 and a net unrealized loss of approximately $132,000. 13~~. 73 of the PLMABS securities were in a loss position for less than 12 months and ~~one has~~13 have been in loss for more than 12 months at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be the maturity date, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The Company continues to monitor these securities for indications that declines in value, if any, may be other-than-temporary.

At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company held ~~ten~~13 corporate debt securities of which ~~four~~11 were in a loss position for less than 12 months. The unrealized loss on the Company’s investments in corporate debt security was caused by interest rate changes. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, in management’s judgment, a concentration of loans existed in commercial loans and loans collateralized by real estate, representing approximately 96.6% of total loans. This level of concentration of commercial loans and loans collateralized by real estate is consistent with ~~96.7%~~96.4% of total loans at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Although management believes the loans within this concentration have no more than the normal risk of ~~collectibility,~~collectability, a substantial decline in the performance of the economy in general or a decline in real estate values in our primary market areas, in particular, could have an adverse impact on ~~collectibility,~~collectability, increase the level of real estate-related non-performing loans, or have other adverse effects which alone or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company does not engage in any sub-prime mortgage lending activities.

At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, loans acquired in the Folsom Lake Bank (FLB), Sierra Vista Bank (SVB) and Visalia Community Bank (VCB) acquisitions had a balance of ~~$120,733,000,~~$85,346,000, of which ~~$2,439,000~~$2,006,000 were commercial loans, ~~$105,845,000~~$77,280,000 were real estate loans, and ~~$12,449,000~~$6,060,000 were consumer loans. At December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, loans acquired in the FLB, SVB and VCB acquisitions had a balance of ~~$127,186,000,~~$93,201,000, of which ~~$2,529,000~~$2,111,000 were commercial loans, ~~$110,616,000~~$83,128,000 were real estate loans, and ~~$14,041,000~~$7,962,000 were consumer loans.

We believe that our commercial real estate loan underwriting policies and practices result in prudent extensions of credit, but recognize that our lending activities result in relatively high reported commercial real estate lending levels. Commercial real estate loans include certain loans which represent low to moderate risk and certain loans with higher risks. Contributing to the commercial and industrial loan ~~growth~~decrease was the ~~issuance~~forgiveness of PPP loans. As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, gross loans included ~~$190,900,000~~$3,554,000 in PPP loans which are fully guaranteed by the ~~SBA.~~SBA as compared to $18,553,000.00 at December 31, 2021 .

The Board of Directors review and approve concentration limits and exceptions to limitations of concentration are reported to the Board of Directors at least quarterly.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans, other real estate owned (OREO), and repossessed assets. Nonperforming loans are those loans which have (i) been placed on nonaccrual status; (ii) been classified as doubtful under our asset classification system; or (iii) become contractually past due 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest and have not been restructured or otherwise placed on nonaccrual status. A loan is classified as nonaccrual when (i) it is maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower; (ii) payment in full of principal or interest under the original contractual terms is not expected; or (iii) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection.

At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, total nonperforming assets totaled ~~$3,783,000,~~$292,000, or ~~0.17%~~0.01% of total assets, compared to ~~$3,278,000,~~$946,000, or ~~0.16%~~0.04% of total assets at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Total nonperforming assets at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, included nonaccrual loans totaling ~~$3,783,000,~~$292,000, no OREO, and no other repossessed assets. Nonperforming assets at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 consisted of ~~$3,278,000~~$946,000 in nonaccrual loans, no OREO, and no other repossessed assets. At March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had no loan considered to be a troubled debt restructuring (“TDRs”) included in nonaccrual loans.

A summary of nonperforming loans at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 is set forth below. The Company had no loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 or at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Management can give no assurance that nonaccrual and other nonperforming loans will not increase in the future.

We measure our impaired loans by using the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent and the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original contractual interest rate if the loan is not collateral dependent. As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had impaired loans totaling ~~$11,006,000~~$3,759,000 and ~~$11,186,000,~~$8,586,000, respectively. For collateral dependent loans secured by real estate, we obtain external valuations which are updated at least annually to determine the fair value of the collateral, and we record a charge-off for the difference between the book value of the loan and the appraised value less selling costs value of the collateral, unless there is an extenuating circumstance that may positively affect the amount collected. We perform quarterly internal reviews on substandard loans. We place loans on nonaccrual status and classify them as impaired when it becomes probable that we will not receive interest and principal under the original contractual terms, or when loans are delinquent 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Management maintains certain loans that have been brought current by the borrower (less than 30 days delinquent) on nonaccrual status until such time as management has determined that the loans are likely to remain current in future periods.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the change in nonaccrual loans for the first three months of ~~2021.~~2022.

OREO represents real property taken either through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu thereof from the borrower. OREO is initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell and thereafter carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less selling costs. We had no OREO properties at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 or December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company held no repossessed assets at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 or December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We have established a methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses made up of general and specific allocations. The methodology is set forth in a formal policy and takes into consideration the need for an overall allowance for credit losses as well as specific allowances that are tied to individual loans. The allowance for credit losses is an

estimate of probable incurred credit losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. The allowance consists of two primary components, specific reserves related to impaired loans and general reserves for probable incurred losses related to loans that are not impaired.

For all portfolio segments, the determination of the general reserve for loans that are not impaired is based on estimates made by management, including but not limited to, consideration of historical losses by portfolio segment (and in certain cases peer loss data) over the most recent 4953 quarters, and qualitative factors including economic trends in the Company’s service areas, industry experience and trends, geographic concentrations, estimated collateral values, the Company’s underwriting policies, the character of the loan portfolio, and probable losses incurred in the portfolio taken as a whole. Management has determined that the most recent 4953 quarters was an appropriate look back period based on several factors including the current global economic uncertainty and various national and local economic indicators, and a time period sufficient to capture enough data due to the size of the portfolio to produce statistically accurate historical loss calculations. We believe this period is an appropriate look back period.

In originating loans, we recognize that losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, general economic conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the collateral securing the loan. The allowance is increased by provisions charged against earnings and recoveries, and reduced by net loan charge-offs. Loans are charged off when they are deemed to be uncollectible, or partially charged off when portions of a loan are deemed to be uncollectible. Recoveries are generally recorded only when cash payments are received.

The allowance for credit losses is maintained to cover probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. The responsibility for the review of our assets and the determination of the adequacy lies with management and our ~~Audit~~Audit/Compliance Committee. They delegate the authority to the Chief Credit Officer (CCO) to determine the loss reserve ratio for each type of asset and to review, at least quarterly, the adequacy of the allowance based on an evaluation of the portfolio, past experience, prevailing market conditions, amount of government guarantees, concentration in loan types and other relevant factors.

The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of the probable incurred credit losses in our loan and lease portfolio. The allowance is based on principles of accounting: (i) losses accrued for on loans when they are probable of occurring and can be reasonably estimated and (ii) losses accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.

Management adheres to an internal asset review system and loss allowance methodology designed to provide for timely recognition of problem assets and adequate valuation allowances to cover probable incurred losses. The Bank’s asset monitoring process includes the use of asset classifications to segregate the assets, largely loans, into various risk categories. The Bank uses the various asset classifications as a means of measuring risk and determining the adequacy of valuation allowances by using a nine-grade system to classify assets. In general, all credit facilities exceeding 90 days of delinquency require classification and are placed on nonaccrual.

The following table sets forth information regarding our allowance for credit losses at the dates and for the periods indicated:

Managing credits identified through the risk evaluation methodology includes developing a business strategy with the customer to mitigate our losses. Our management continues to monitor these credits with a view to identifying as early as possible when, and to what extent, additional provisions may be necessary. Risks and uncertainties exist in all lending transactions and our management and Board of Directors’ Loan Committee have established reserve levels based on economic uncertainties and other risks that exist as of each reporting period.

The allowance for credit losses is reviewed at least quarterly by the Bank’s and our Board of Directors’ ~~Audit~~Audit/Compliance Committee. Reserves are allocated to loan portfolio segments using percentages which are based on both historical risk elements such as delinquencies and losses and predictive risk elements such as economic, competitive and environmental factors. We have adopted the specific reserve approach to allocate reserves to each impaired asset for the purpose of estimating potential loss exposure. At the onset of COVID we established a dedicated qualitative factor to address the lagging effect on our quantitative data. We ~~adjusted~~have materially reduced that factor’s impact on the ALLL given the passage of time and improving

economic ~~risk factor methodology to incorporate the current economic implications and rising unemployment rate~~conditions from ~~the COVID-19 pandemic.~~mid-2020. Although the allowance for credit losses is allocated to various portfolio categories, it is general in nature and available for the loan portfolio in its entirety. Additions may be required based on the results of independent loan portfolio examinations, regulatory agency examinations, or our own internal review process. Additions are also required when, in management’s judgment, the reserve does not properly reflect the potential loss exposure.

As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the balance in the allowance for credit losses (ALLL) was ~~$12,056,000~~$9,864,000 compared to ~~$12,915,000~~$9,600,000 as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~decrease~~increase is attributed to the ~~reversal of provision of $1,800,000 during~~net recoveries during the three months ended March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The balance of undisbursed commitments to extend credit on construction and other loans and letters of credit was ~~$349,244,000~~$346,752,000 as of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~$326,179,000~~$326,108,000 as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. At March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the balance of a contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations was ~~$250,000.~~$115,000. The contingent allocation for probable loan loss experience on unfunded obligations is calculated by management using appropriate, systematic, and consistently applied processes. While related to credit losses, this allocation is not a part of the ALLL and is considered separately as a liability for accounting and regulatory reporting purposes.

As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the ALLL was ~~1.11%~~0.97% of total gross loans compared to ~~1.17%~~0.92% as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Total loans include FLB, SVB and VCB loans that were recorded at fair value in connection with the acquisitions, with values of ~~$120,733,000~~$85,346,000 at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~$127,186,000~~$93,201,000 at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Excluding these FLB, SVB and VCB loans from the calculation, the ALLL to total gross loans was ~~1.24%~~1.06% and ~~1.32%~~1.01% at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively and general reserves associated with non-impaired loans to total non-impaired loans was ~~1.40%~~1.01% and ~~1.59%~~0.98%, respectively. As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, gross loans included ~~$190,900,000~~$3,554,000 related to PPP loans which are fully guaranteed by the ~~SBA.~~SBA as compared to $18,553,000.00 at December 31, 2021. Excluding PPP loans and the acquired loans from the calculation, the allowance for credit losses to total gross loans was ~~1.55%~~1.07% and ~~1.65%~~1.04% as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The Company believes the allowance for credit losses is adequate to provide for probable incurred credit losses within the loan portfolio at March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The loan portfolios acquired in the mergers were booked at fair value with no associated allocation in the ALLL. The size of the fair value discount remains adequate for all non-impaired acquired ~~loans; therefore, there is no associated allocation in the ALLL for those~~ loans.

The Company’s loan portfolio balances for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021 increased through organic growth and through participation in the PPP loan program.~~2022 decreased. Management believes that the change in the allowance for credit losses to total loans ratio is directionally consistent with the composition of loans and the level of nonperforming and classified loans, and by the general economic conditions experienced in the central California communities serviced by the Company, partially offset by recent improvements in real estate collateral values.

Assumptions regarding the collateral value of various under-performing loans may affect the level and allocation of the allowance for credit losses in future periods. The allowance may also be affected by trends in the amount of charge-offs experienced or expected trends within different loan portfolios. However, the total reserve rates on non-impaired loans include qualitative factors which are systematically derived and consistently applied to reflect conservatively estimated losses from loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements. Based on the above considerations and given recent changes in historical charge-off rates included in the ALLL modeling and the changes in other factors, management determined that the ALLL was appropriate as of March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. However, no assurance can be given that the Company may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period.

The following table illustrates and sets forth additional analysis which portrays the trends that are occurring in the loan portfolio.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Business combinations involving the Company’s acquisition of the equity interests or net assets of another enterprise give rise to goodwill. Total goodwill at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, was $53,777,000 consisting of $8,934,000, $14,643,000, $6,340,000, $10,394,000, and $13,466,000 representing the excess of the cost of Bank of Madera County, Service 1st Bancorp, Visalia Community Bank, Sierra Vista Bank, and Folsom Lake Bank, respectively, over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transactions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The value of goodwill is ultimately derived from the Company’s ability to generate net earnings after the acquisitions and is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment during the first twelve months after the acquisition date if additional information becomes available to indicate a more accurate or appropriate value for an asset or liability. A significant decline in net earnings, among other factors, could be indicative of a decline in the fair value of goodwill and result in impairment. For that reason, goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment.

During March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic emerged and began impacting the state and local economies in our market due to local shelter-in-place orders and restrictions on businesses which caused many nonessential businesses to close and workers to be temporarily unemployed. COVID-19 could cause a further and sustained decline in the The Company’s ~~stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform a~~annual goodwill ~~impairment~~ test ~~and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that the Company concludes that all or a portion of its goodwill~~ is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital. Management considered the COVID-19 related economic downturn to be such a triggering event and therefore performed qualitative assessments at the end of the first, second and fourth quarters of 2020. Given the continued economic impact of the pandemic, management determined it appropriate to perform a quantitative testcompleted as of September 30 ~~2020.~~ each year.

Management ~~engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist with the performance of the quantitative goodwill~~performed an annual impairment test in the third quarter of ~~2020. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies for goodwill that were employed~~2021 utilizing various qualitative factors. Management believes these factors are sufficient and ~~included, but were not limited~~comprehensive and as such, no further factors need to ~~prospective financial information, growth rates, terminal value, discount rates, and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry.~~be assessed at this time. Based on ~~this quantitative test, it~~management’s analysis performed, no impairment was determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value as of September 30, 2020. With the economic risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic continuing during the first quarter of 2021, management performed a qualitative assessment including performance trends, market information and economic data and determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value.required.

Goodwill is assessed for impairment between annual tests if a triggering event occurs or circumstances change that may cause the fair value of a reporting unit to decline below its carrying amount. Management considers the entire Company to be one reporting unit. ~~Based upon this assessment, it was determined that it was more likely than not that~~No such events or circumstances arose during the ~~fair value~~first three months of ~~the Company was more than its carrying value and therefore no quantitative impairment test was required.~~2022. Changes in the economic environment, operations of the reporting unit or other adverse events could result in future impairment charges which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating results.

The intangible assets represent the estimated fair value of the core deposit relationships acquired in the 2017 acquisition of Folsom Lake Bank of $1,879,000 ~~the 2016 acquisition of Sierra Vista Bank of $508,000,~~ and the 2013 acquisition of Visalia Community Bank of $1,365,000. Core deposit intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest method) over estimated lives of five to 10 years from the date of acquisition. The carrying value of intangible assets at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 was ~~$1,009,000,~~$382,000, net of ~~$2,743,000~~$2,862,000 in accumulated amortization expense. The carrying value at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 was ~~$1,183,000,~~$522,000, net of ~~$2,569,000~~$3,230,000 accumulated amortization expense. We evaluate the remaining useful lives quarterly to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. Based on the evaluation, no changes to the remaining useful lives was required in the first three months of ~~2021.~~2022. Amortization expense recognized was ~~$174,000~~$140,000 and $174,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Other Borrowings

As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had no Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of San Francisco advances.

Capital

Capital serves as a source of funds and helps protect depositors and shareholders against potential losses. Historically, the primary source of capital for the Company has been through retained earnings.

The Company has historically maintained substantial levels of capital. The assessment of capital adequacy is dependent on several factors including asset quality, earnings trends, liquidity and economic conditions. Maintenance of adequate capital levels is integral to providing stability to the Company. The Company needs to maintain substantial levels of regulatory capital to give it maximum flexibility in the changing regulatory environment and to respond to changes in the market and economic conditions.

Our shareholders’ equity was ~~$241,845,000~~$191,660,000 at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~$245,021,000~~$247,845,000 at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The decrease from December 31, ~~2020~~2021 in shareholders’ equity is the result of an increase in retained earnings from net income of $6,086,000, the exercise of stock options of $132,000, stock issued under the employee stock purchase plan of $57,000, the effect of share-based compensation expense of $97,000, and stock awarded to employees of $273,000, offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of ~~$9,594,000 and~~$56,919,000, common stock cash dividends of $1,377,000, offset by an increase in retained earnings from net income of $7,479,000, the exercise of stock options of $1,000, stock issued under the employee stock purchase plan of $56,000, the effect of share based compensation expense of $101,000,$1,425,000, and stock ~~awarded to employees~~repurchases of ~~$158,000.~~$4,486,000.

On ~~March~~November 17, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the adoption of a program to effect repurchases of the Company’s common stock with the intent to purchase up to ~~$12~~$15 million worth of the Company’s outstanding common ~~stock.~~ stock, or approximately 702,576 shares. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased and retired 76,613 shares at an approximate average cost of $21.10 per share. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company ~~did not repurchase~~repurchased and retired 195,873 shares at an average cost of $22.87 or ~~retired any shares related to the March 17, 2021 stock repurchase plan. The share repurchase plan began on March 18, 2021 and will end on March 17, 2022.~~$4,486,000.

During the first three months of ~~2021,~~2022, the Company declared and paid ~~$1,377,000~~$1,425,000 in cash dividends ($~~0.11~~0.12 per common share) to holders of common stock. The Company declared and paid a total of ~~$5,530,000~~$5,757,000 in cash dividends ($~~0.44~~0.47 per common share) to holders of common stock during the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Management considers capital requirements as part of its strategic planning process. The strategic plan calls for continuing increases in assets and liabilities, and the capital required may therefore be in excess of retained earnings. The ability to obtain capital is dependent upon the capital markets as well as our performance. Management regularly evaluates sources of capital and the timing required to meet its strategic objectives.

The Board of Governors, the FDIC and other federal banking agencies have issued risk-based capital adequacy

guidelines intended to provide a measure of capital adequacy that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking

organization’s operations for both transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets, and transactions, such as letters of

credit and recourse arrangements, which are reported as off-balance-sheet items.

The Company succeeded to all of the rights and obligations of the Service 1st Capital Trust I, a Delaware business trust, in connection with the acquisition of Service 1st as of November 12, 2008. The Trust was formed on August 17, 2006 for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Service 1st. Under applicable regulatory guidance, the amount of trust preferred securities that is eligible as Tier 1 capital is limited to 25% of the Company’s Tier 1 capital on a pro forma basis. At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, all of the trust preferred securities that have been issued qualify as Tier 1 capital. The trust preferred securities mature on October 7, 2036, are redeemable at the Company’s option beginning five

~~Table of Contents~~`

years after issuance, and require quarterly distributions by the Trust to the holder of the trust preferred securities at a variable interest rate which will adjust quarterly to equal the three month LIBOR plus 1.60%.

The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities to purchase approximately $5,155,000 in aggregate principal amount of Service 1st’s junior subordinated notes (the Notes). The Notes bear interest at the same variable interest rate during the same quarterly periods as the trust preferred securities. The Notes are redeemable by the Company on any January 7, April 7, July 7, or October 7 on or after October 7, 2012 or at any time within 90 days following the occurrence of certain events, such as: (i) a change in the regulatory capital treatment of the Notes; (ii) in the event the Trust is deemed an investment company; or (iii) upon the occurrence of certain adverse tax events. In each such case, the Company may redeem the Notes for their aggregate principal amount, plus any accrued but unpaid interest.

The Notes may be declared immediately due and payable at the election of the trustee or holders of 25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes in the event that the Company defaults in the payment of any interest following the nonpayment of any such interest for 20 or more consecutive quarterly periods. Holders of the trust preferred securities are entitled to a cumulative cash distribution on the liquidation amount of $1,000 per security. For each January 7, April 7, July 7 or October 7 of each year, the rate will be adjusted to equal the three month LIBOR plus 1.60%. As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the rate was 1.84%.

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves our ability to meet cash flow requirements arising from fluctuations in deposit levels and demands of daily operations, which include funding of securities purchases, providing for customers’ credit needs and ongoing repayment of borrowings. Our liquidity is actively managed on a daily basis and reviewed periodically by our management and Board of Director’s Asset/Liability Committees. This process is intended to ensure the maintenance of sufficient funds to meet our needs, including adequate cash flow for off-balance sheet commitments.

Our primary sources of liquidity are derived from financing activities which include the acceptance of customer and, to a lesser extent, broker deposits, Federal funds facilities with correspondent banks, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. These funding sources are augmented by payments of principal and interest on loans, the routine maturities and pay downs of securities from the securities portfolio, the stability of our core deposits and the ability to sell

investment securities. As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company had unpledged securities totaling ~~$598,281,000~~$944,873,000 available as a secondary source of liquidity and total cash and cash equivalents of ~~$214,841,000.~~$88,837,000. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, ~~2021 increased 205.70%~~2022 decreased 45.65% compared to ~~$70,278,000~~$163,467,000 at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Primary uses of funds include withdrawal of and interest payments on deposits, originations and purchases of loans, purchases of investment securities, and payment of operating expenses.

As a means of augmenting our liquidity, we have established federal funds lines with our correspondent banks. At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, our available borrowing capacity includes approximately $110,000,000 in unsecured credit lines with our correspondent banks, ~~$244,763,000~~$284,114,000 in unused FHLB secured advances and a ~~$12,845,000~~$8,845,000 secured credit line at the Federal Reserve Bank. We believe our liquidity sources to be stable and adequate. At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we were not aware of any information that was reasonably likely to have a material effect on our liquidity position.

The evaluation was based in part upon reports provided by a number of executives. Based upon, and as of the date of the evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
