Forward-looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements which reflect current views of PCB Bancorp, formerly known as Pacific City Financial Corporation, (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiary, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “goal,” “target,” “aim,” “would,” and “annualized” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

A number of important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, but are not limited to, the following:

business and economic conditions, particularly those affecting the financial services industry and our primary market areas;

our ability to successfully manage our credit risk and the sufficiency of our allowance for loan loss;

factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers and the success of construction projects that we finance;

governmental monetary and fiscal policies, and changes in market interest rates;

compliance with governmental and regulatory requirements, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act and others relating to banking, consumer protection, securities and tax matters;

compliance with the regulatory consent order related to Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering (“BSA/AML”) matters to which Pacific City Bank, our wholly owned subsidiary, is subject;

the significant portion of our loan portfolio that is comprised of real estate loans;

our ability to attract and retain Korean-American customers;

our ability to identify and address cyber-security risks, breaches, fraud and systems errors;

our ability to effectively execute our strategic plan and manage our growth;

changes in our senior management team and our ability to attract, motivate and retain qualified personnel;

liquidity issues, including fluctuations in the fair value and liquidity of the securities we hold for sale and our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary;

costs and obligations associated with operating as a public company;

effects of competition from a wide variety of local, regional, national and other providers of financial, investment and insurance services;

the impact of any claims or legal actions to which we may be subject, including any effect on our reputation; and

changes in federal tax law or policy.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements and the risks described under “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and our other documents filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Because of these risks and other uncertainties, our actual future results, performance or achievement, or industry results, may be materially different from the results indicated by the forward looking statements in this report. In addition, our past results of operations are not necessarily indicative of our future results. You should not rely on any forward looking statements, which represent our beliefs, assumptions and estimates only as of the dates on which they were made, as predictions of future events. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is initially made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

~~Pacific City Financial Corporation~~PCB Bancorp (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiary, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a bank holding company whose subsidiary is Pacific City Bank (the “Bank”). The Company changed its corporate name from “Pacific City Financial Corporation” to “PCB Bancorp” in July 2019. The Bank is a single operating segment that operates 11 full-service branches in Los Angeles and Orange counties, California, one full-service branch in each of Fort Lee, New Jersey and Bayside, New York, and 10 loan production offices (“LPOs”) in Irvine, Artesia and Los Angeles, California; Annandale, Virginia; Chicago, Illinois; Atlanta, Georgia; Bellevue, Washington; Aurora, Colorado; Carrollton, Texas; and New York, New York. The Bank offers a broad range of loans, deposits, and other products and services predominantly to small and middle market businesses and individuals.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X and other SEC rules and regulations for reporting on the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are not included herein. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed by the Company with the SEC. The December 31, 2018 balance sheet presented herein has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all of the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. The results of operations for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ~~Pacific City Financial Corporation~~PCB Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the Company include its wholly owned subsidiary.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are based upon GAAP and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry. The Company has not made any significant changes in its critical accounting policies from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC. Refer to Adopted Accounting Pronouncements below for discussion of accounting pronouncements adopted during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subject to change and such change could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the following accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company were adopted:

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” and ASU 2018-11, “Leases Topic 842, Targeted Improvements,” to provide additional clarification, implantation, and transition guidance on certain aspects of ASU 2016-02. The amendments in ASU 2016-02 require lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for both leases classified as operating leases and finance leases, except leases with a term of 12 months or less where lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. For leases with a term of greater than 12 months, lessees are required to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use assets representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term measured at the present value of the lease payments. ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-10 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years for a public business entity. Under ASU 2018-11, an additional transition option was provided that would allow entities to not apply the new guidance in the comparative periods they present in their financial statements in the year of adoption. Under this optional transition method, entities will be allowed to continue using and presenting leases under Accounting Standard Codification (“~~ASC 840”~~ASC”) 840 for prior years comparative periods and then prospectively adopt ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2019 using the optional transition method with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings without restating prior period financial statements for comparable amounts. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within this ASU, which allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company completed its review of its existing lease contracts and service contracts that may include embedded leases, and updated processes and internal controls for leasing activities. The Company recognized right-of-use lease assets and liabilities of $9.6 million and $10.6 million, respectively, with a cumulative effect adjustment of $53 thousand to retained earnings at the date of adoption. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than the recognition of right-of-use lease assets and liabilities. See Note 6 for additional information.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” The amendments in this ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities acquired at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which continue to be amortized to maturity. Public business entities must prospectively apply the amendments in this ASU to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

The following are recently issued accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company that have not yet been adopted:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326).” The amendments in this ASU require that entities change the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model. Under this model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument from the date of initial recognition of that instrument. It includes financial assets such as loan receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for public business entities that are SEC filers for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In July 2019, the FASB voted to tentatively delay the effective date of this ASU to 2023 for certain SEC filers that are Smaller Reporting Companies, which would apply to the Company. The FASB plans to issue two proposed ASUs in the near future related to the proposed delay in the effectiveness of this ASU.

The Company has formed a committee, developed an implementation plan, and engaged a software vendor to assist the Company to build a model. The Company is in the process of completing a readiness assessment and is engaged in the implementation phase of the project. The Company is working on: (i) developing a new expected loss model with supportable assumptions; (ii) identifying data, reporting, and disclosure gaps; (iii) assessing updates to accounting and credit risk policies; and (iv) documenting new processes and controls. Based on the Company’s initial assessment of this ASU, the Company expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses which could potentially have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which this ASU is effective.

Note 2 - Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value including a three-level valuation hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. an 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. The three-level fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are defined as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant 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 a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Fair value is measured on a recurring basis for certain assets and liabilities in which fair value is the primary basis of accounting. Additionally, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to evaluate certain assets or liabilities for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company records securities available-for-sale at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain other assets, such as loans held-for-sale, impaired loans, servicing assets and other real estate owned (“OREO”) are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Non-recurring fair value measurements typically involve assets that are periodically evaluated for impairment and for which any impairment is recorded in the period in which the re-measurement is performed. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:

Investment securities: The fair values of securities available-for-sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2). Management reviews the valuation techniques and assumptions used by the provider and determines that the provider uses widely accepted valuation techniques based on observable market inputs appropriate for the type of security being measured. Securities held-to-maturity are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Loans held-for-sale: The Company records SBA loans held-for-sale, residential property loans held-for-sale and certain non-residential real estate loans held-for-sale at the lower of cost or fair value, on an aggregate basis. The Company obtains fair values from a third party independent valuation service provider. Loans held-for-sale accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value are considered to be recognized at fair value when they are recorded at below cost, on an aggregate basis, and are classified as Level 2.

Impaired loans: The Company records fair value adjustments on certain loans that reflect (i) partial write-downs, through charge-offs or specific reserve allowances, that are based on the current appraised or market-quoted value of the underlying collateral or (ii) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value. In some cases, the properties for which market quotes or appraised values have been obtained are located in areas where comparable sales data is limited, outdated, or unavailable. Fair value estimates for collateral-dependent impaired loans are obtained from real estate brokers or other third-party consultants, and are classified as Level 3.

Other real estate owned: The Company initially records OREO at fair value at the time of foreclosure. Thereafter, OREO is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value based on their subsequent changes in fair value. The fair value of OREO is generally based on recent real estate appraisals adjusted for estimated selling costs. 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 appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments may be significant and result in a Level 3 classification due to the unobservable inputs used for determining fair value. Only OREO with a valuation allowance are considered to be carried at fair value.

Servicing Assets: Servicing assets represent the value associated with servicing loans that have been sold. The fair value for servicing assets is determined through discounted cash flow analysis and utilizes discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions as inputs. All of these assumptions require a significant degree of management estimation and judgment. The fair market valuation is performed on a quarterly basis for servicing assets. Servicing assets are accounted for at the lower of cost or market value and considered to be recognized at fair value when they are recorded at below cost and are classified as Level 3.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the asset or obligation could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market value exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on financial instruments both on and off the consolidated balance sheet without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Additionally, tax consequences related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a potential effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in many of the estimates. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of significant financial instruments.

Financial assets: The carrying amounts of interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions and accrued interest receivable are considered to approximate fair value. The fair values of investment securities are generally based on matrix pricing (Level 2). The fair value of loans is estimated based on a discounted cash flow approach under an exit price notion. The fair value reflects the estimated yield that would be negotiated with a willing market participant. Because sale transactions of such loans are not readily observable, as many of the loans have unique risk characteristics, the valuation is based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). It is not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and other restricted stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Financial liabilities: The carrying amounts of accrued interest payable are considered to approximate fair value. The fair value of deposits is estimated based on discounted cash flows. The discount rate is derived from the interest rates currently being offered for similar remaining maturities. Non-maturity deposits are estimated based on their historical decaying experiences (Level 3). The fair value of FHLB advances is estimated based on discounted cash flows. The discount rate is derived from the current market rates for borrowings with similar remaining maturities (Level 2).

Off-balance-sheet financial instruments: The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. The fair value of these financial instruments is not material and is excluded from the table below.

The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities as of the dates indicated:

The Company performs an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) assessment at least on a quarterly basis. OTTI is recognized when fair value is below the amortized cost where: (i) an entity has the intent to sell the security; (ii) it is more likely than not that an entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (iii) an entity does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security.

All individual securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 had an investment grade rating upon purchase. The issuers of these securities have not established any cause for default on these securities and various rating agencies have reaffirmed their long-term investment grade status as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates fluctuated. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. In addition, the unrealized losses on municipal bonds are not considered other-than-temporary impaired, as the bonds are rated investment grade and there are no credit quality concerns with the issuers. Interest payments have been made as scheduled, and management believes this will continue in the future until the bonds get paid in full. The Company determined that the investment securities with unrealized losses for twelve months or more are not other-than-temporary impaired, and, therefore, no impairment was recognized during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company classifies loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans in regards to credit risk. This analysis typically includes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial property and commercial and industrial loans, and is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass - Loans classified as pass include non-homogeneous loans not meeting the risk ratings defined below and smaller, homogeneous loans not assessed on an individual basis.

Special Mention - Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or repayment in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

The following table presents the risk categories for the recoded investment in loans by portfolio segment as of dates indicated:

Impaired Loans

Loans are considered impaired in the following cases: (i) the loan is on nonaccrual, (ii) when principal or interest payments on the loan have been contractually past due for 90 days or more, unless the loan is both well-collateralized and in the process of collection, (iii) the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) where terms not typically granted by the Company were offered to the borrower, (iv) when current information or events make it unlikely to collect the loan balance in full according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, (v) there is a deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition that raises uncertainty as to timely collection of either principal or interest, or (vi) full payment of both principal and interest of the loan according to the original contractual terms is in doubt.

The following table presents loans individually evaluated for impairment by portfolio segment as of the dates indicated. The recorded investment presents customer balances net of any partial charge-offs recognized on the loans and net of any deferred fees and costs.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A TDR is a restructuring in which the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. The restructuring of a loan includes, but is not limited to: (i) the transfer from the borrower to the Company of real estate, receivables from third parties, other assets, or an equity interest in full or partial satisfaction of the loan, (ii) a modification of the loan terms, such as a reduction of the stated interest rate, principal, or accrued interest or an extension of the maturity date at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, or (iii) a combination of the above. A loan extended or renewed at a stated interest rate equal to the current interest rate for new debt with similar risk is not to be reported as a restructured loan.

The following table presents the composition of loans that were modified as TDRs by portfolio segment as of the dates indicated:

The Company had no commitments to lend to customers with outstanding loans that were classified as TDRs as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The determination of the allowance for loan losses related to TDRs depends on the collectability of principal and interest, according to the modified repayment terms. Loans that were modified as TDRs were individually evaluated for impairment and the Company allocated ~~$84 thousand~~none and $86 thousand of allowance for loan losses as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company had no loans transferred to loans held-for-sale during the three months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company transferred a residential property loan of $303 thousand to loans held-for-sale.

The Company transferred residential property loans of $6.0 million to loans held-for-sale during the three months ended ~~March 31, 2019.~~June 30, 2018. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, the Company transferred a commercial property loan of $1.1 million and residential property loans of $6.0 million to loans held-for-sale.

Loans Held-For-Sale

The following table presents a composition of loans held-for-sale as of the dates indicated:

Total	$	3,915	$	5,781	$	440	$	5,781

Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. When a determination is made at the time of commitment to originate as held-for-investment, it is the Company’s intent to hold these loans to maturity or for the “foreseeable future,” subject to periodic reviews under the Company’s management evaluation processes, including asset/liability management and credit risk management. When the Company subsequently changes its intent to hold certain loans, the loans are transferred to held-for-sale at the lower of cost or fair value. Certain loans are transferred to held-for-sale with write-downs to allowance for loan losses.

Note 5 - Servicing Assets

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total servicing assets were ~~$7.5~~$7.2 million and $7.7 million, respectively. The Company sold loans of ~~$21.2~~$29.2 million and ~~$29.9~~$18.5 million, respectively, with the servicing rights retained and recognized a net gain on sale of ~~$1.1~~$1.9 million and ~~$2.0~~$1.0 million, respectively, during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company sold loans of $50.4 million and $48.4 million, respectively, with the servicing rights retained and recognized a net gain on sale of $3.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Loan servicing income was ~~$631~~$492 thousand and ~~$626~~$585 thousand, respectively, for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018, and $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

All classes of servicing assets are measured using the amortization method and evaluated for impairment quarterly by comparing the fair value of the servicing right to the carrying amount. Fair value is estimated by stratifying the loans sold between mortgage and non-mortgage loans and discounting estimated future cash flows from the servicing assets using discount rates that approximate current market rates over the expected lives of the loans being serviced. For the purposes of measuring impairment, the Company has identified each servicing asset with the underlying loan being serviced, and a valuation allowance is recorded when the fair value is below the carrying amount.

The following table presents the composition of servicing assets with key assumptions used to estimate the fair value:

Note 6 - Operating Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” and all subsequent ASUs that are related to Topic 842. As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted this ASU using the optional transition method with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings without restating prior financial statements for comparable amounts. As a result, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and liabilities of $9.6 million and $10.6 million, respectively, with a cumulative effect adjustment of $53 thousand to retained earnings at the date of adoption. The Company made an election to include both the lease and non-lease components as a single component and account for it as a lease.

The Company’s operating leases are for its headquarters office spaces, and retail branch and LPO locations. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years. The exercise of lease renewal option is at the Company’s sole discretion.

There were no stock options excluded in computing diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive for three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018.

Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into financial commitments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial commitments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit, and interest rate risk not recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had the following outstanding financial commitments whose contractual amount represents credit risk:


($ in thousands)	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018		June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Commitments to extend credit	$	140,012	$	127,443	$	154,453	$	127,443
Standby letters of credit	2,860		2,998		2,363		2,998
Commercial letters of credit	449		477		532		477
Total	$	143,321	$	130,918	$	157,348	$	130,918

The Company’s exposure to loan loss in the event of nonperformance on commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for the loans reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The Company maintained reserve for off-balance sheet items of ~~$136~~$141 thousand and $139 thousand, respectively, at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, in Accrued Interest Payable and Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each client’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

~~As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had operating lease commitments of $11.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively.~~

Litigation

The Company is involved in various matters of litigation, which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of pending matters of litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 13 - Regulatory Matters

Under the final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (“Basel III rules”), the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer ~~is being~~was phased in from 0.0% ~~for~~in 2015 to 2.50% by January 1, 2019. Management believes as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject to. Based on changes to the Federal Reserve’s definition of a “Small Bank Holding Company” that increased the threshold to $3 billion in assets in August 2018, the Company is not currently subject to separate minimum capital measurements. At such time as the Company reaches the $3 billion asset level, it will again be subject to capital measurements independent of the Bank. For comparison purposes, the Company’s ratios are included in following discussion as well, all of which would have exceeded the “well-capitalized” level had the Company been subject to separate capital minimums. The Company and the Bank’s capital conservation buffer was ~~9.53%~~9.18% and ~~9.42%~~9.05%, respectively, as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, and 9.31% and 9.21%, respectively, as of December 31, 2018. Unrealized gain or loss on securities available-for-sale is not included in computing regulatory capital. The following table presents the regulatory capital amounts and ratios for the Company and the Bank as of dates indicated:

The California Financial Code provides that a bank may not make a cash distribution to its shareholders in excess of the lesser of the bank’s undivided profits or the bank’s net income for its last three fiscal years less the amount of any distribution made to the bank’s shareholder during the same period. As a California corporation, the Company is subject to the limitations of California law, which allows a corporation to distribute cash or property to shareholders, including a dividend or repurchase or redemption of shares, if the corporation meets either a retained earnings test or a “balance sheet” test. Under the retained earnings test, the Company may make a distribution from retained earnings to the extent that its retained earnings exceed the sum of (a) the amount of the distribution plus (b) the amount, if any, of dividends in arrears on shares with preferential dividend rights. The Company may also make a distribution if, immediately after the distribution, the value of its assets equals or exceeds the sum of (a) its total liabilities plus (b) the liquidation preference of any shares which have a preference upon dissolution over the rights of shareholders receiving the distribution. Indebtedness is not considered a liability if the terms of such indebtedness provide that payment of principal and interest thereon are to be made only if, and to the extent that, a distribution to shareholders could be made under the balance sheet test.

The Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the California Department of Business Oversight (the “CDBO”) periodically examine the Company’s business, including compliance with laws and regulations. If, as a result of an examination, a banking agency were to determine that the Company’s financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity or other aspects of any of the Company’s operations had become unsatisfactory, or that the Company was in violation of any law or regulation, they may take a number of different remedial actions as they deem appropriate. These actions include the power to enjoin “unsafe or unsound” practices, to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in Company’s capital, to restrict growth, to assess civil money penalties, to fine or remove officers and directors and, if it is concluded that such conditions cannot be corrected or there is an imminent risk of loss to depositors, to terminate the Company’s deposit insurance and place the Company into receivership or conservatorship.

On April 30, 2019, the FDIC, the CDBO and the Bank entered into a stipulation consenting to the issuance of a consent order (the “Order”) relating to the Bank’s BSA/AML. While the Bank attempted to address the concerns raised by the FDIC and CDBO in an informal Agreement dated January 8, 2018, these agencies determined in a subsequent examination of the Bank that it had not satisfactorily addressed these concerns particularly relating to failing to maintain a qualified individual to serve as the BSA compliance officer and ensure that adequate resources are provided to administer an effective BSA/AML compliance program.

The Order requires, among other things, that the Bank correct all violations found in the prior examination and to improve its process to better identify and monitor accounts and transactions that pose a greater than normal risk for compliance with BSA/AML. The Order also requires the Board of Directors of the Bank to increase its oversight of the Bank’s compliance with BSA/AML rules and regulations. In addition, the Bank is to ensure that the BSA/AML compliance program is managed by a qualified officer with sufficient experience and resources necessary to administer an effective BSA/AML compliance program, and to seek prior FDIC and CDBO non-objection to a change in such officer or the officer in charge of Office of Foreign Assets Control compliance matters, or material changes to their responsibilities. Further, the Order requires that the Bank develop and maintain an effective BSA/AML compliance program, monitoring mechanisms, validation of risk rating and suspicious activity monitoring, and training programs for staff. Further, the Bank must review and enhance its BSA/AML risk assessment and customer due diligence, complete a BSA/AML staffing assessment and conduct a “look back” to more highly scrutinize certain transactions that occurred during a six month period in 2018 to determine if any suspicious activity requiring reporting went undetected. Finally, the Bank must provide periodic reports of progress to the FDIC and CDBO and provide for independent testing of the overall compliance program to ensure continued compliance, and seek prior FDIC and CDBO non-objection to the establishment of any new branches or other offices, or introduction of new delivery channels, products, services, or lines of business.

Subsequent to the Order, the Bank has completed the BSA/AML staffing assessment and the “look back” review to transactions that occurred during a six month period in 2018. In addition, the Bank has reviewed and enhanced BSA/AML risk assessments, as well as customer due diligence, and submitted all required reports to the FDIC and CDBO. Even though the Company believes that the Bank has addressed many of items under the Order, since many of the management and BSA staffing hires have recently assumed their roles at the Bank and are taking steps to improve processes and procedures, it may take some time to address, to the satisfaction of the regulators, the specific issues unique to the Bank’s operation and it is still uncertain whether acceptable progress towards compliance with the Order, as determined in the sole discretion of the FDIC and CDBO, will ultimately be achieved in the future.

Note 14 - Revenue Recognition

Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as gain or loss associated with mortgage servicing assets and financial guarantees are also not within the scope. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest income such as deposit related fees, interchange fees, and merchant related income. Noninterest income considered to be within the scope of Topic 606 is discussed below.

Service charges and fees on deposits: Deposit account service charges consist of monthly service fees, account analysis fees, non-sufficient funds (“NSF”) charges and other deposit related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. NSF charges, and other deposit account service charges are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time as incurred.

Debit card fees: When customers use their debit cards to pay merchants for goods or services, the Company retains a fee from the funds collected from the related deposit account and transfers the remaining funds to the payment network for remittance to the merchant. The performance obligation to the merchant is satisfied and the fee is recognized at the point in time when the funds are collected and transferred to the payment network.

Gain (loss) on sale of other real estate owned: The Company’s performance obligation for sale of OREO is the transfer of title and ownership rights of the OREO to the buyer, which occurs at the settlement date when the sale proceeds are received and income is recognized.

Wire transfer fees and other service charges: Wire transfer fees and other service charges are transaction based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time as incurred.

The following table presents revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 for the periods indicated:

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the major factors that influenced the Company’s results of operations and financial condition as of and for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes (unaudited) thereto set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and general practices within the banking industry. Within these financial statements, certain financial information contains approximate measurements of financial effects of transactions and impacts at the consolidated statements of financial condition dates and the Company’s results of operations for the reporting periods. As certain accounting policies require significant estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the Company has established critical accounting policies to facilitate making the judgment necessary to prepare financial statements. The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements and in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and in Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Executive Summary

Net income was $6.6 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, an increase of ~~$300 thousand,~~$1.8 million, or ~~4.8%~~38.6%, from ~~$6.3~~$4.8 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to increases in net interest income and noninterest income and a decrease in provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net income was $13.2 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 19.4%, from $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net interest income and a decrease in provision ~~(reversal)~~ for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense and a decrease in noninterest income. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.40 and ~~$0.46~~$0.35, respectively, for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018, ~~respectively.~~and $0.81 and $0.81, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

The increase was primarily due to ~~increases~~an increase in loans held-for-investment and a recognition of operating lease assets, partially offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents, loans held-for-sale and ~~loans held-for-investment as well as~~investment securities.

Total deposits were $1.45 billion at June 30, 2019, an increase of $2.8 million, or 0.2%, from $1.44 billion at December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to increases in noninterest-bearing demand accounts, and savings, NOW and money market accounts, partially offset by a ~~recognition of operating lease assets.~~decrease in time deposits. The decrease in time deposits was primarily due to decreases in state and brokered deposits.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted new accounting guidance on leases (Topic 842) using the optional transition method. As a result, the Company recognized operating lease assets and liabilities of $9.6 million and $10.6 million, respectively, with a cumulative effect adjustment of $53 thousand to retained earnings at the date of adoption.

On July 1, 2019, the Company changed its corporate name to “PCB Bancorp” from “Pacific City Financial Corporation” to reflect the Company's goal to align the corporate name with the trading symbol of its common stock and simplify corporate communications while maintaining the Company's core branding.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

A principal component of the Company's earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest earning assets is referred to as the net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on average interest earning assets less the cost of average interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by changes in the balances of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and changes in the yields earned on interest earning assets and the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.

The following table presents interest income, average interest-earning assets, interest expense, average interest-bearing liabilities, and their correspondent yields and costs expressed both in dollars and rates, on a consolidated operations basis, for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018:

Net interest income increased primarily due to a ~~15.1%~~9.1% increase in average balance of interest-earning assets and a 3743 basis point increase in average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a ~~14.5%~~5.0% increase in average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a 7057 basis point increase in average cost on interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities were primarily due to growth in the loan and investment security portfolios, as well as other interest-earning assets, supported by deposit growth and the initial public offering (“IPO”) completed in August 2018. The increases in average yield on interest-earning assets and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities were primarily due to the rising interest rate environment in ~~2018.~~2018 and current higher market rates.

Interest and fees on loans increased primarily due to a ~~10.0%~~11.6% increase in average balance and a 5335 basis point increase in average yield. The increase in average balance was primarily due to organic loan growth and the increase in average yield was primarily due to the rising interest rate environment in ~~2018.~~2018 and current higher market rates.

Interest on investment securities increased primarily due to a ~~12.1%~~13.6% increase in average balance and ~~a 35~~an 18 basis point increase in average yield. The Company purchased $4.2 million of securities held-to-maturity and ~~$39.8~~$32.2 million of securities available-for-sale since ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018. For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018, yield on total investment securities was ~~2.65%~~2.54% and ~~2.30%~~2.36%, respectively.

Interest income on other interest-earning assets increased primarily due to a ~~119.5%~~61 basis point increase in average yield, partially offset by a 11.9% decrease in average balance. The increase in average yield was primarily due to an increase in the federal funds rate in 2018. The decrease in average balance was primarily due to placing less balances into the interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve Bank to support loan growth. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, yield on total other interest-earning assets was 2.59% and 1.98%, respectively.

Interest expense on deposits increased primarily due to a 6.0% increase in average balance and a 5157 basis point increase in average cost. The increase in average cost was primarily due to the impact of higher market rates on deposits and competition in the Company’s deposit target markets. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, average cost on total interest-bearing deposits was 2.17% and 1.60%, respectively.

Interest expense on borrowings decreased primarily due to lower utilization of FHLB advances as the Bank maintained a sufficient level of on-balance sheet liquidity.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Net interest income	$	34,845	$	31,176	$	3,669		11.8	%

Net interest income increased primarily due to a 12.0% increase in average balance of interest-earning assets and a 40 basis point increase in average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a 9.4% increase in average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a 63 basis point increase in average cost on interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities were primarily due to growth in the loan and investment security portfolios, as well as other interest-earning assets, supported by deposit growth and the IPO completed in August 2018. The increases in average yield on interest-earning assets and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities were primarily due to the rising interest rate environment in 2018 and current higher market rates.

Interest and fees on loans increased primarily due to a 10.8% increase in average balance and a 44 basis point increase in average yield. The increase in average balance was primarily due to organic loan growth and the increase in average yield was primarily due to the rising interest rate environment in 2018 and current higher market rates.

Interest on investment securities increased primarily due to a 12.8% increase in average balance and a 26 basis point increase in average yield. The Company purchased $4.2 million of securities held-to-maturity and $32.2 million of securities available-for-sale since June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, yield on total investment securities was 2.59% and 2.33%, respectively.

Interest income on other interest-earning assets increased primarily due to a 22.9% increase in average balance and a 61 basis point increase in average yield. The increase in average balance was primarily due to placing higher balances into the interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve Bank. The increase in average yield was primarily due to an increase in the federal funds rate in ~~2018.~~2018 and current higher market rates. For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018, yield on total other interest-earning assets was ~~2.67%~~2.63% and ~~2.16%~~2.02%, respectively.

Interest expense on deposits increased primarily due to a ~~16.1%~~10.8% increase in average balance and a 7265 basis point increase in average cost. ~~The increase in average balance was primarily due to an increase in time deposits, partially offset by a decrease in NOW and money market accounts.~~ The increase in average cost was primarily due to the impact of higher market rates on deposits and competition in the Company’s deposit target markets. For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018, average cost on total interest-bearing deposits was ~~2.06%~~2.12% and ~~1.34%~~1.47%, respectively.

Interest expense on ~~other~~ borrowings decreased primarily due to ~~less~~lower utilization of FHLB advances as the Bank maintained a sufficient level of on-balance sheet liquidity.

Provision ~~(Reversal)~~ for Loan Losses

Provision ~~(reversal)~~ for loan losses was ~~$(85)~~$394 thousand and $309 thousand, respectively, for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 compared with $425 thousand and $95520 thousand, respectively, for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in historical loss rates and changes in qualitative adjustment factors ~~and a net recovery~~ during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019.

See further discussion in “Allowance for Loan Losses.”

Noninterest Income

Service charges and fees ~~increased~~decreased primarily due to a decrease in number of fee-based transactions, partially offset by an increase in the ~~level~~balance of transactional based deposit accounts.

Loan servicing income ~~increased~~decreased primarily due to a ~~larger decrease in servicing asset amortization than the decrease in servicing fees from a~~ lower ~~servicing asset amount on the~~ balance ~~sheet.~~of underlying loans being serviced. Underlying loans being serviced at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled ~~$505.4~~$504.1 million and ~~$549.0~~$540.0 million, respectively.

Gain on sale of loans ~~decreased~~increased primarily due to ~~decreases~~an increase in sales volume, ~~and~~partially offset by a decrease in premiums on SBA loans due to the conditions in the secondary market. The Company sold SBA loans of ~~$21.2~~$29.2 million with a gain of ~~$1.1~~$1.9 million and residential property loans of ~~$2.4 million~~$375 thousand with a gain of ~~$16~~$7 thousand during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019.

Income Tax Expense

Financial Condition

Investment Securities

The Company’s investment strategy aims to maximize earnings while maintaining liquidity in securities with minimal credit risk. The types and maturities of securities purchased are primarily based on current and projected liquidity and interest rate sensitivity positions. Investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale in accordance with GAAP. Investment securities that the Company has the ability and the intent to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity. All other securities are classified as available-for-sale. Investment securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at their estimated fair values with the changes in fair values recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, as a component of shareholders’ equity.

The following table presents the amortized cost and fair value of the investment securities portfolio as of the dates indicated:

Total investment securities were ~~$167.7~~$165.2 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, a decrease of ~~$1.1~~$3.5 million, or ~~0.6%~~2.1%, from $168.8 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to principal paydowns of ~~$6.2~~$14.3 million and net premium amortization of ~~$188~~$406 thousand, partially offset by purchases of ~~$4.1~~$8.4 million and an increase in fair value of securities available-for-sale of ~~$1.2~~$2.8 million.

The Company performs an OTTI assessment at least on a quarterly basis. OTTI is recognized when fair value is below the amortized cost where: (i) an entity has the intent to sell the security; (ii) it is more likely than not that an entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (iii) an entity does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security.

All individual securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 had an investment grade rating upon purchase. The issuers of these securities have not established any cause for default on these securities and various rating agencies have reaffirmed their long-term investment grade status as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates fluctuated. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. In addition, the unrealized losses on municipal bonds are not considered other-than-temporary impaired, as the bonds are rated investment grade and there are no credit quality concerns with the issuers. Interest payments have been made as scheduled, and management believes this will continue in the future until the bonds get paid in full. The Company determined that the investment securities with unrealized losses for twelve months or more are not other-than-temporary impaired, and, therefore, no impairment was recognized during the three and ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018.

The following table presents the contractual maturity schedule for securities, at amortized cost, and their weighted-average yields as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019:

Loans Held-For-Sale

Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. When a determination is made at the time of commitment to originate as held-for-investment, it is the Company’s intent to hold these loans to maturity or for the foreseeable future, subject to periodic reviews under the Company’s management evaluation processes, including asset/liability management and credit risk management. When the Company subsequently changes its intent to hold certain loans, the loans are transferred to held-for-sale at the lower of cost or fair value. Certain loans are transferred to held-for-sale with write-downs to allowance for loan losses.

The following table presents a composition of loans held-for-sale as of the dates indicated:

Allowance for loan losses

The Company’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses includes a general allowance for performing loans, which are grouped based on similar characteristics, and a specific allowance for individual impaired loans or loans considered by management to be in a high-risk category. General allowances are established based on a number of factors, including historical loss rates, an assessment of portfolio trends and conditions, accrual status and economic conditions.

For any loan held for investment, a specific allowance may be assigned based on an impairment analysis. Loans are considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The amount of impairment is based on an analysis of the most probable source of repayment, including the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows, the estimated market value or the fair value of the underlying collateral. Interest income on impaired loans is accrued as earned, unless the loan is placed on nonaccrual status.

Individual loans considered to be uncollectible are charged off against the allowance for loan losses. Factors used in determining the amount and timing of charge-offs on loans include consideration of the loan type, length of delinquency, sufficiency of collateral value, lien priority and the overall financial condition of the borrower. Collateral value is determined using updated appraisals and/or other market comparable information. Charge-offs are generally taken on loans once the impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the allowance for loan losses. ~~Net recoveries~~Annualized net charge-offs to average loans held-for-investment were 0.06% and 0.06%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and 0.02% and 0.02%, respectively, for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Allowance for loan losses totaled ~~$13.1~~$13.3 million and $13.2 million, respectively, and represented 0.96% and 0.98%, respectively, to loans held-for-investment at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The decreases in allowance for loan losses to loans held-for-investment was primarily due to a decrease in historical loss rates and changes in qualitative adjustment factors during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019.

The Company analyzes the loan portfolio, including delinquencies, concentrations, and risk characteristics, at least quarterly in order to assess the overall level of the allowance for loan losses. The Company also relies on internal and external loan review procedures to further assess individual loans and loan pools, and economic data for overall industry and geographic trends.

In determining the allowance and the related provision for loan losses, the Company considers three principal elements: (i) valuation allowances based upon probable incurred losses identified during the review of impaired commercial and industrial, commercial property and construction loans, (ii) allocations, by loan classes, on loan portfolios based on historical loan loss experience and (iii) qualitative factors. Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations to record changes to the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate.

The following table provides an analysis of the allowance for loan losses, provision for loan losses and net charge-offs as of the dates or for the periods indicated:

The increase in total nonaccrual loans was primarily due to loans placed on nonaccrual status of ~~$596~~$934 thousand, partially offset by paydowns and payoffs of ~~$368~~$329 thousand and charge-offs of ~~$18~~$237 thousand during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019.

Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due, unless management believes the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Past due loans may or may not be adequately collateralized, but collection efforts are continuously pursued. Loans may be restructured by management when a borrower experiences changes to their financial condition, causing an inability to meet the original repayment terms, and where management believe the borrower will eventually overcome those circumstances and repay the loan in full.

Additional income of approximately ~~$24~~$27 thousand and $49 thousand, respectively, would have been recorded during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, had these loans been paid in accordance with their original terms throughout the periods indicated.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Loans that the Bank modifies or restructures where the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties and makes a concession to the borrower in the form of changes in the amortization terms, reductions in the interest rates, the acceptance of interest only payments and, in limited cases, reductions in the outstanding loan balances are classified as TDRs. TDRs are loans modified for the purpose of alleviating temporary impairments to the borrower’s financial condition. A workout plan between a borrower and the Bank is designed to provide a bridge for the cash flow shortfalls in the near term. If the borrower works through the near term issues, in most cases, the original contractual terms of the loan will be reinstated.

The following table presents the composition of loans that were modified as TDRs by portfolio segment as of the dates indicated:

Deposits

The Bank gathers deposits primarily through its branch locations. The Bank offers a variety of deposit products including demand deposits accounts, NOW and money market accounts, savings accounts and time deposits.

Total deposits were $1.45 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, an increase of ~~$4.0~~$2.8 million, or ~~0.3%~~0.2%, from $1.44 billion at December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to increases in ~~time deposits~~savings, NOW and money market accounts of ~~$21.6~~$17.7 million and noninterest-bearing demand accounts of ~~$1.4~~$10.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in ~~savings, NOW and money market accounts~~time deposits of ~~$19.0~~$25.3 million. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total deposits were comprised of ~~22.8%~~23.5% and 22.8%, respectively, of noninterest-bearing demand accounts, ~~20.4%~~22.9% and 21.7%, respectively, of savings, NOW and money market accounts, and ~~56.8%~~53.6% and 55.5%, respectively, of time deposits.

Time deposits from California State Treasurer totaled ~~$120.0~~$90.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, and brokered deposits totaled ~~$37.5~~$27.5 million and $42.5 million, respectively, at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company reduced state and brokered deposits in order to reduce the reliance on wholesale deposits. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s directors and shareholders with deposits over $250,000 totaled ~~$6.3~~$5.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively, or ~~0.8%~~0.7% and 0.7%, respectively, of all of deposit relationships over $250,000.

Shareholders’ Equity and Regulatory Capital

Capital Resources

Shareholders’ equity is influenced primarily by earnings, dividends paid on common stock and preferred stock, sales and redemptions of common stock and preferred stock, and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income caused primarily by fluctuations in unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, on securities available-for-sale.

Shareholders’ equity was ~~$217.2~~$223.4 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, an increase of ~~$6.9~~$13.1 million, or ~~3.3%~~6.2%, from $210.3 million at December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to net income of ~~$6.6~~$13.2 million and a positive fair value change in securities available-for-sale of ~~$827 thousand,~~$2.0 million, partially offset by dividends declared on common stock of ~~$800~~$1.8 million and repurchase of common stock of $974 thousand.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking regulators. The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015 (subject to phase-in periods for some of their components). However, based on changes to the Federal Reserve’s definition of a “Small Bank Holding Company” that increased the threshold to $3 billion in assets in August 2018, the Company is not currently subject to separate minimum capital measurements. At such time as the Company reaches the $3 billion asset level, it will again be subject to capital measurements independent of the Bank. Failure to meet regulatory capital requirements may result in certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (described below), the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting policies.

In the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, the role of capital has become fundamentally more important, as banking regulators have concluded that the amount and quality of capital held by banking organizations was insufficient to absorb losses during periods of severely distressed economic conditions. The Dodd-Frank Act and new banking regulations promulgated by the U.S. federal banking regulators to implement Basel III have established strengthened capital standards for banks and bank holding companies and require more capital to be held in the form of common stock. These provisions impose meaningfully more stringent regulatory capital requirements. In addition, the Basel III regulations introduced a concept known as the “capital conservation buffer.” In general, banks and bank holding companies are required to hold a buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets over each minimum capital ratio to avoid being subject to limits on capital distributions (e.g., dividends, stock buybacks, etc.) and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. For community banks, the capital conservation buffer requirement commenced on January 1, 2016, with a gradual phase-in. Full compliance with the capital conservation buffer was required by January 1, 2019. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the Bank met the fully phased-in Basel III capital requirements.

The tables below summarizes the minimum capital requirements applicable to the Bank pursuant to Basel III regulations as of the dates indicated. The Company and the Bank’s capital conservation buffer was ~~9.53%~~9.18% and ~~9.42%~~9.05%, respectively, as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, and 9.31% and 9.21%, respectively, as of December 31, 2018. The minimum capital requirements are only regulatory minimums and banking regulators can impose higher requirements on individual institutions. For example, banks and bank holding companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions generally will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels. Higher capital levels may also be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual banking organizations. The tables below also summarizes the capital requirements applicable to the Bank in order to be considered “well-capitalized” from a regulatory perspective, as well as the Bank’s capital ratios as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements under Basel III and were considered to be “well-capitalized” as of the dates reflected in the table below. For comparison purpose, the Company’s ratios are included as well, all of which would have exceeded the “well-capitalized” level had the Company been subject to separate capital minimums.

The Basel III regulations also revise the definition of capital and describe the capital components and eligibility criteria for common equity Tier 1 capital, additional Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. The most significant changes to the capital criteria are that: (i) the prior concept of unrestricted Tier 1 capital and restricted Tier 1 capital has been replaced with additional Tier 1 capital and a regulatory capital ratio that is based on common equity Tier 1 capital; and (ii) trust preferred securities and cumulative perpetual preferred stock issued after May 19, 2010 no longer qualify as Tier 1 capital. This change is already effective due to the Dodd-Frank Act, although such instruments issued prior to May 19, 2010 continue to qualify as Tier 1 capital (assuming they qualified as such under the prior regulatory capital standards), subject to the 25% of Tier 1 capital limit.

Liquidity

Liquidity refers to the measure of ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while at the same time meeting ~~operating,~~operation's cash flow and capital and strategic cash flow needs, all at a reasonable cost. The Company continuously monitors liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all short-term and long-term cash requirements, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of the Company’s shareholders.

The Company’s liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits in financial institutions, federal funds sold, and unpledged securities available-for-sale. Liquid liabilities may include core deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and other borrowings. Other sources of liquidity include the sale of loans, the ability to acquire additional national market noncore deposits, additional collateralized borrowings such as FHLB advances and Federal Reserve Discount Window, and the issuance of debt securities and preferred or common securities.

The Company’s short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily to fund on-going operations, including payment of interest on deposits and debt, extensions of credit to borrowers, capital expenditures and shareholder dividends. These liquidity requirements are met primarily through cash flow from operations, redeployment of prepaying and maturing balances in loan and investment securities portfolios, increases in debt financing and other borrowings, and increases in customer deposits.

Integral to the Company’s liquidity management is the administration of borrowings. To the extent the Company is unable to obtain sufficient liquidity through core deposits, the Company seeks to meet its liquidity needs through wholesale funding or other borrowings on either a ~~short-~~short or long-term basis.

The Company had $35.0 million and $30.0 million of outstanding FHLB advances at ~~both March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2018, respectively. Based on the values of loans pledged as collateral, the Company had ~~$394.3~~$394.4 million and $386.0 million of additional borrowing capacity with FHLB as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company also had $35.0 million and $60.0 million, respectively, of available unused unsecured federal funds lines. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, a line of credit of $25.0 million with an unaffiliated financial institution was terminated. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the line at the time of termination.

In addition, available unused secured borrowing capacity from Federal Reserve Discount Window at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was ~~$39.6~~$41.8 million and $45.2 million, respectively. Federal Reserve Discount Window was collateralized by loans totaling ~~$44.4~~$48.3 million and $50.8 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company’s borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Discount Window is limited by eligible collateral. The Company also maintains relationships in the capital markets with brokers and dealers to issue time ~~deposits.~~deposits and money market accounts. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total cash and cash equivalents represented ~~10.1%~~7.7% and 9.6% of total assets, respectively.

~~Pacific City Financial Corporation,~~PCB Bancorp, on a stand-alone holding company basis, must provide for its own liquidity and its main source of funding is dividends from the Bank. There are statutory, regulatory and debt covenant limitations that affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the holding company. Management believes that these limitations will not impact the Company’s ability to meet its ongoing short- and long-term cash obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities and Contractual Obligations

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has limited off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into financial commitments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial commitments include commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, commercial and similar letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk not recognized in the Company’s financial statements.

The Company’s exposure to loan loss in the event of nonperformance on these financial commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for loans reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

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. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each client’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. The following table presents outstanding financial commitments whose contractual amount represents credit risk as of the dates indicated:


($ in thousands)	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018		June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018

Management believes that the Company will be able to meet its contractual obligations as they come due through the maintenance of adequate cash levels. Management expects to maintain adequate cash levels through profitability, loan and securities repayment and maturity activity and continued deposit gathering activities. The Company has in place various borrowing mechanisms for both short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss due to changes in market values of assets and liabilities. Market risk occurs in the normal course of business through exposures to market interest rates, equity prices, and credit spreads.

Overview

Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and value arising from changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from timing differences in the repricings and maturities of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities (repricing risk), changes in the expected maturities of assets and liabilities arising from embedded options, such as borrowers’ ability to prepay residential mortgage loans at any time and depositors’ ability to redeem certificates of deposit before maturity (option risk), changes in the shape of the yield curve where interest rates increase or decrease in a nonparallel fashion (yield curve risk), and changes in spread relationships between different yield curves, such as U.S. Treasuries and LIBOR (basis risk).

The Company’s Board asset liability committee (“Board ALCO”) establishes broad policy limits with respect to interest rate risk. Board ALCO establishes specific operating guidelines within the parameters of the Board of Directors’ policies. In general, The Company seeks to minimize the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and the economic values of assets and liabilities. Board ALCO meets quarterly to monitor the level of interest rate risk sensitivity to ensure compliance with the Board of Directors’ approved risk limits. As discussed earlier, the Company also has a Management ALCO, which is comprised of the senior management team and Chief Executive Officer, to proactively monitor investment activities.

Interest rate risk management is an active process that encompasses monitoring loan and deposit flows complemented by investment and funding activities. Effective management of interest rate risk begins with understanding the dynamic characteristics of assets and liabilities and determining the appropriate interest rate risk posture given business forecasts, management objectives, market expectations, and policy constraints.

An asset sensitive position refers to a balance sheet position in which an increase in short-term interest rates is expected to generate higher net interest income, as rates earned on interest-earning assets would reprice upward more quickly than rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, thus expanding net interest margin. Conversely, a liability sensitive position refers to a balance sheet position in which an increase in short-term interest rates is expected to generate lower net interest income, as rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities would reprice upward more quickly than rates earned on interest-earning assets, thus compressing net interest margin.

Measurement

Interest rate risk measurement is calculated and reported to the Board ALCO at least quarterly. The information reported includes period-end results and identifies any policy limits exceeded, along with an assessment of the policy limit breach and the action plan and timeline for resolution, mitigation, or assumption of the risk.

The Company uses two approaches to model interest rate risk: Net Interest Income at Risk (“NII at Risk”), and Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”). Under NII at Risk, net interest income is modeled utilizing various assumptions for assets, liabilities, and derivatives. EVE measures the period end market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities and the change in this value as rates change. EVE is a period end measurement.

The following table presents the projected changes in NII at Risk and EVE that would occur upon an immediate change in interest rates based on independent analysis, but without giving effect to any steps that management might take to counteract that change as of the dates indicated:

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and other members of the Company’s senior management. The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal claims. Management has reviewed all legal claims against the Company with counsel and have taken into consideration the views of such counsel as to the potential outcome of the claims in determining the accrued loss contingency. The Company did not have any accrued loss contingencies for legal claims at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019. It is reasonably possible the Company may incur losses in addition to the amounts currently accrued. However, at this time, the Company is unable to estimate the range of additional losses that are reasonably possible because of a number of factors, including the fact that certain of these litigation matters are still in their early stages and involve claims for which, at this point, the Company believes have little to no merit. Management has considered these and other possible loss contingencies and does not expect the amounts to be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A - Risk Factors

~~There have been no~~Management is not aware of any material changes to the risk factors that appeared under “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part 1, Item 1A, of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price. The risks described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to management or that management presently believes not to be material may also result in material and adverse effects on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Item 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

~~None.~~There were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The following table

presents share repurchase activities during the three months ended June 30, 2019:



($ in thousands, except per share data)	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid Per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Program	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Program
From April 1, 2019 to April 30, 2019	—	$	—	—	$	6,500
From May 1, 2019 to May 31, 2019	12,050	16.91		12,050	6,296

Total	57,551	$	16.93	57,551

On March 28, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $6.5 million of the Company’s common stock through March 27, 2020.

Item 3 - Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4 - Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5 - Other Information

As previously disclosed by 8-K filed on May 3, 2019, on April 30, 2019, the FDIC, the CDBO and the Bank entered into a stipulation consenting to the issuance of a consent order (the “Order”) relating to the Bank’s BSA/AML. While the Bank attempted to address the concerns raised by the FDIC and CDBO in an informal Agreement dated January 8, 2018, these agencies determined in a subsequent examination of the Bank that it had not satisfactorily addressed these concerns particularly relating to failing to maintain a qualified individual to serve as the BSA compliance officer and ensure that adequate resources are provided to administer an effective BSA/AML compliance program.

The Order will remain in effect until terminated, modified or suspended by the FDIC and CDBO. The Bank’s Management and Board of Directors have expressed their full intention and ability to comply with all parts of the Order. The Bank began taking corrective actions prior to entry of the Order after communicating with the regulators and expects that it will be able to undertake and implement all required actions within the time periods specified in the Order. Importantly, and prior to the entry of the Order, the Bank sought and received FDIC and CDBO non-objection to hiring a new BSA officer, Susan Wahba, CAMS, who began working for the Bank on March 19, 2019, and brings significant experience in BSA/AML compliance, including as a former bank examiner and BSA/AML trainer for the FDIC, and most recently as the Chief Risk Officer for another Los Angeles area bank. Compliance with the requirements of the Order will be determined by the regulators in subsequent examinations. Subsequent to the Order, the Bank has completed the BSA/AML staffing assessment and the “look back” review to transactions that occurred during a six month period in 2018. In addition, the Bank has reviewed and enhanced BSA/AML risk assessments, as well as customer due diligence, and submitted all required reports to the FDIC and CDBO. Even though the Company believes that the Bank has addressed many of items under the Order, since many of the management and BSA staffing hires have recently assumed their roles at the Bank and are taking steps to improve processes and procedures, it may take some time to address, to the satisfaction of the regulators, the specific issues unique to the Bank’s operation and it is still uncertain whether acceptable progress towards compliance with the Order, as determined in the sole discretion of the FDIC and CDBO, will ultimately be achieved in the future.

The Bank will incur additional non-interest expenses associated with the implementation of the required corrective actions; however, both these expenses and the Order are not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Bank or the Company.
