NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Critical Accounting Policies

Organization and ~~Nature~~nature of business - First Northwest Bancorp, a Washington corporation ("First Northwest"), became the holding company of First Fed Bank ("First Fed" or the "Bank") on January 29, 2015, upon completion of the Bank's conversion from a mutual to stock form of organization (the "Conversion").

In connection with the Conversion, the Company issued an aggregate of 12,167,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of $121.7 million. An additional 933,360 shares of Company common stock and $400,000 in cash were contributed to the First Federal Community Foundation ("Foundation"), a charitable foundation that was established in connection with the Conversion, resulting in the issuance of a total of 13,100,360 shares. The Company received $117.6 million in net proceeds from the stock offering of which $58.4 million were contributed to the Bank upon Conversion.

Pursuant to the Bank's Plan of Conversion (the "Plan") adopted by its Board of Directors, and as approved by its members, the Company established an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP"). On December 18, 2015, the ESOP completed its open market purchases, with funds borrowed from the Company, of 8% of the common stock issued in the Conversion for a total of 1,048,029 shares.

In April 2021, First Northwest entered into an Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement (the "Joint Venture Agreement") with the Bank, POM Peace of Mind, Inc. ("POM"), and Quin Ventures, Inc. ("Quin" or "Quin Ventures"). First Northwest has partially fulfilled its commitment to extend $15.0 million to Quin Ventures under a capital financing agreement and related promissory note and issued 29,719 shares of the Company's common stock to POM with a value of $500,000.

On October 31, 2021, the Bank converted from a State Savings Bank Charter to a State Commercial Bank Charter and was simultaneously renamed First Fed Bank from First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles.

First Northwest, the Bank, and Quin Ventures are collectively referred to as the "Company."

First Northwest's business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investments in First Fed and Quin Ventures. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including the consolidated unaudited financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank.

The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution providing commercial and consumer banking services to individuals and businesses in Western Washington State with offices in Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, King, and Whatcom counties. These services include deposit and lending transactions that are supplemented with borrowing and investing activities.

Basis of presentation - The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been included. Operating results for the three ~~and~~ ~~nine~~months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods.

In preparing the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to a determination of the allowance for loan losses ("ALLL"), fair value of financial instruments, and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Northwest; its wholly owned subsidiary, First Fed, and its controlling interest in Quin Ventures, Inc. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. While First Northwest and POM share equal ownership in Quin Ventures, it has been determined that First Northwest has a controlling interest for financial reporting purposes under Accounting Standards Codification 810. The Quin Ventures net loss allocable to POM is shown on the financial statements where applicable through a noncontrolling interest adjustment.

Subsequent ~~Events~~events - The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure and has included additional information where appropriate. ~~See Note~~ 10 ~~for additional information.~~

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In November 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-10, which defers the effective date of the current expected credit loss model (CECL) guidance issued in ASUs 2016-13, 2019-04, and 2019-05. The effective date for smaller reporting companies was changed from the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 to the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this ASU and anticipates implementing CECL effective January 1, 2023.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Loss, which updates the guidance on recognition and measurement of credit losses for financial assets. The new requirements, known as the current expected credit loss model (CECL) will require entities to adopt an impairment model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, the Company will change processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. In addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities available for sale will be replaced with an allowance approach.

Additional updates were issued in ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 825), Financial Instruments. This ASU clarifies and improves guidance related to the previously issued standards on credit losses, hedging and recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The amendments provide entities with various measurement alternatives and policy elections related to accounting for credit losses and accrued interest receivable balances. Entities are also able to elect a practical expedient to separately disclose the total amount of accrued interest included in the amortized cost basis as a single balance to meet certain disclosure requirements. The amendments clarify that the estimated allowance for credit losses should include all expected recoveries of financial assets and trade receivables that were previously written off and expected to be written off. The amendments also allow entities to use projections of future interest rate environments when using a discounted cash flow method to measure expected credit losses on variable-rate financial instruments.

In addition, new updates were issued through ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. This amendment allows entities to elect the fair value option on certain financial instruments. On adoption, an entity is allowed to irrevocably elect the fair value option on an instrument-by-instrument basis. This alternative is available for all instruments in the scope of Subtopic 326-20 except for existing held-to-maturity debt securities. If an entity elects the fair value option, the difference between the instrument’s fair value and carrying amount is recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment.

The Company is evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13, ASU No. 2019-04 and ASU No. 2019-05, and will closely monitor developments and additional guidance to determine the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact the implementation of these ASUs will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company's internal project management team continues to review models, work with our third-party vendor, and discuss changes to processes and procedures to ensure the Company is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date, which is anticipated to be January 1, 2023.

Other Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional guidance ~~for a limited period of time~~ to ease the potential burden in accounting for ~~(or recognizing the effects of)~~ reference rate ~~reform on financial reporting.~~reform. The ~~amendments are~~ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued.

This ASU is effective for ~~the Company~~all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company ~~does~~is implementing a transition plan to identify and modify its loans and other financial instruments that are either directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No.2022-01,Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method. ASU 2022-01 expands the portfolio layer method of hedge accounting prescribed in ASU No.2017-12 to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio and to include portfolios of both prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets. This scope expansion is consistent with the FASB’s efforts to simplify hedge accounting and allows entities to apply the same accounting method to similar hedging strategies. The ASU also specifies eligible hedging instruments in a single-layer hedge, provides additional guidance on accounting and disclosure of hedge basis adjustments and specifies how hedge basis adjustments should be considered in determining credit losses for assets in the designated closed portfolio. This ASU is effective for public business entities for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2022-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No.2022-02,Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") in ASC 310-40, "Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors" for entities that have adopted the current expected credit loss model introduced by ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. ASU 2022-02 also requires that public business entities disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost". ASU 2022-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2022-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Reclassifications - Certain amounts in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current unaudited financial statement presentation with no effect on net income or shareholders' equity.

The Company may hold certain investment securities in an unrealized loss position that are not considered other than temporarily impaired ("OTTI"). At ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021, there were 62155 and 3676 investment securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively.

We believe that the unrealized losses on our investment securities relate principally to the general change in interest rates, market demand, and related volatility ~~rather than credit quality,~~ that has occurred since the initial purchase, and such unrecognized losses or gains will continue to vary with general interest rate level and market fluctuations in the future. We do not believe the unrealized losses on our securities are related to deterioration in credit quality. Certain investments in a loss position are guaranteed by government entities or government sponsored entities. The Company does not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position and believes that it is ~~not~~ ~~likely it~~unlikely that we will be required to sell these investments prior to a market price recovery or maturity.

There were 0 OTTI losses during the three ~~and~~ ~~nine~~months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020~~2021.

Impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when the Bank has determined that it may be unable to collect payments of principal or interest when due under the contractual terms of the loan. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for all loans in the portfolio except smaller balance homogeneous loans and certain qualifying troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") loans.

Credit quality indicator. Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities, as substandard, doubtful, or loss; risk ratings 6, 7, and 8 in our 8-point risk rating system, respectively. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and ~~pay~~paying capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

When the Bank classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish a specific allowance to address the risk specifically or allow the loss to be addressed in the general allowance. General allowances represent loss allowances that have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities but that, unlike specific allowances, have not been specifically allocated to certain problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as a loss, it is required to charge off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Assets that do not currently expose the Bank to enough risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but do possess identified weaknesses are designated as either watch or special mention assets; risk ratings 4 and 5 in our risk rating system, respectively. Loans not otherwise classified are considered pass graded loans and are rated 1-3 in our risk rating system.

Additionally, the Bank categorizes loans as performing or nonperforming based on payment activity. Loans that are more than 90 days past due and nonaccrual loans are considered nonperforming.

Troubled debt restructuring. A TDR is a loan to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty that has been modified from its original terms and conditions in such a way that the Bank is granting the borrower a concession of some kind. First Fed has granted a variety of concessions to borrowers in the form of loan modifications. The modifications are generally related to the loan's interest rate, term and payment amount or a combination thereof.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 signed into law on March 27, 2020 ("CARES Act"), provided guidance around the modification of loans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which outlined, among other criteria, that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined under the CARES Act prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term (i.e., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers are considered current under the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance if they are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. This relief was extended under the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021, to the earlier of 60 days after the COVID-19 pandemic national emergency termination date or January 1, 2022. Through ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022, the Company had granted COVID-19 pandemic related temporary loan modifications on ~~a total of~~ 357 loans ~~aggregating to $175.0~~totaling $177.6 million, or 12.9% of total loans. Loan modifications in accordance with the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance are still subject to an evaluation ~~in regard~~ to ~~determining~~determine whether or not a loan is deemed to be impaired. As of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022, 0 loans modified in accordance with the CARES Act remained on deferral.

The following table is a summary of information pertaining to TDR loans included in impaired loans at the dates indicated:

Note 5 - Federal Taxes on Income

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. These calculations are based on many complex factors including estimates of the timing of reversals of temporary differences, the interpretation of federal income tax laws, and a determination of the differences between the tax and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

The effective tax rates were ~~17.2%~~18.1% and ~~24.3%~~13.2% for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020~~2021, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory maximum federal tax rate for ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 of 21%, largely due to the nontaxable earnings on bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") and tax-exempt interest income earned on certain investment securities and loans. Additionally, a ~~cumulative adjustment~~tax accrual true-up was recorded in the first quarter of 2021, which reduced the ~~current~~prior year provision and ~~an estimate for the penalty on the BOLI contract surrendered in~~ ~~2020~~ ~~was included in the~~ ~~2020~~ ~~year-to-date provision, which~~ resulted in a ~~higher~~lower effective tax rate.

Note 7 - Employee Benefits

~~Change from Multi-employer to Single-employer Pension Plan~~

~~Effective~~ ~~March 23, 2021,~~ the Company withdrew from the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions ("Pentegra DB Plan") and established the First Federal Defined Benefit Plan ("Bank DB Plan"), a single-employer plan. On ~~March 23, 2021,~~ ~~all assets and liabilities were transferred from the Pentegra DB Plan to the newly established Bank DB Plan.~~

The Bank DB Plan is a defined benefit pension plan covering current and former employees. Benefits available under the plan are frozen. The plan provides defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary prior to the freeze. The Company uses ~~December 31~~ ~~as the measurement date for this plan. The initial measurement period will be~~ ~~March 23, 2021 –~~ ~~December 31, 2021.~~

~~The fair value of plan assets and projected benefit obligation on the~~ ~~March 23, 2021,~~ ~~Bank DB Plan adoption date were $14,705,000 and $14,197,000, respectively. A~~ ~~$2,717,599~~ ~~cash contribution was made to the Pentegra DB Plan in~~ ~~March 2021~~ ~~prior to the transition. A prior service cost of~~ ~~$1.7 million, net of~~ ~~tax, was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Company's balance sheet at~~ ~~September 30, 2021~~~~. The prior service cost is expected to be amortized over 15 years.~~

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine pension benefit obligations at year-end include a 2.95% discount rate and a 0% rate of compensation increase. The weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost include 2.95% discount rate, 5.75% expected return on plan assets and a 0% rate of compensation increase. The ~~5.75%~~ ~~weighted average expected long-term rate of return is estimated based on current trends in similar plan assets, as well as projected future rates of returns on similar assets.~~

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

In connection with the Conversion, the Company established an ESOP for eligible employees of the Company and the Bank. Employees of the Company and the Bank who have been credited with at least 1,000 hours of service during a 12-month period are eligible to participate in the ESOP.

Pursuant to the Plan, the ESOP purchased shares in the open market with funds borrowed from First Northwest. The Bank will make contributions to the ESOP in amounts necessary to amortize the ESOP loan payable to First Northwest over a period of 20 years, bearing estimated interest at 2.46%. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Bank's discretionary contributions to the ESOP and earnings on the ESOP assets. ~~An $835,000~~No principal and interest payment was made by the ESOP during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022.

As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the average daily market prices of the shares and the shares become outstanding for EPS computations. The compensation expense is accrued monthly throughout the year. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest.

Compensation expense related to the ESOP for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020~~2021, was ~~$179,000~~$291,000 and ~~$99,000, respectively. Compensation expense related to the ESOP for the~~ ~~nine~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~September 30, 2021~~ ~~and~~ ~~2020~~~~, was $503,000 and $359,000,~~$217,000, respectively.

Note 8 - Stock-based Compensation

In May 2020, the Company's shareholders approved the First Northwest Bancorp 2020 Equity Incentive Plan ("2020 EIP"), which provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock shares or restricted stock units, and performance share awards to eligible participants through May 2030. The cost of awards under the 2020 EIP generally is based on the fair value of the awards on their grant date. The maximum number of shares that may be utilized for awards under the 2020 EIP is 520,000. As of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022, there were ~~336,383~~302,294 total shares available for grant under the 2020 EIP, all of which are available to be granted as restricted shares.

As a result of the approval of the 2020 EIP, the First Northwest Bancorp 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2015 EIP") was frozen and 0no additional awards will be made. As of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022, there were 0 shares available for grant under the 2015 EIP. At this date, there are ~~125,720~~94,900 shares granted under the 2015 EIP that are expected to vest subject to the 2015 EIP plan provisions.

There were ~~96,205~~42,243 and ~~126,059~~84,896 shares of restricted stock awarded, respectively, during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020~~2021. Awarded shares of restricted stock vest ratably over periods ranging from one to five years from the date of grant provided the eligible participant remains in service to the Company. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the shares at the grant date amortized over the vesting period.

For the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020~~2021, total compensation expense for the equity incentive plans was ~~$433,000~~$411,000 and ~~$362,000, respectively. For the~~ ~~nine~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~September 30, 2021~~ ~~and~~ ~~2020~~~~, total compensation expense for the equity incentive plans was $1.4 million and $917,000,~~$404,000, respectively.

Included in the above compensation expense for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020~~2021, was directors' compensation of ~~$64,000~~$55,000 and ~~$102,000, respectively.

Note 9 - Fair Value Accounting and Measurement

Fair value is the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the Company’s principal market. The Company has established and documented its process for determining the fair values of its assets and liabilities, where applicable. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available, for identical or similar assets or liabilities. In the absence of quoted market prices, management determines the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities using valuation models or third-party pricing services, both of which rely on market-based parameters when available, such as interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and credit spreads, or unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs may be based on management’s judgment, assumptions, and estimates related to credit quality, liquidity, interest rates, and other relevant inputs.

Any changes to valuation methodologies are reviewed by management to ensure they are relevant and justified. Valuation methodologies are refined as more market-based data becomes available.

A three-level valuation hierarchy is used in determining fair value that is based on the transparency of the inputs used in the valuation process. The inputs used in determining fair value in each of the three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Either: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; (ii) observable inputs, such as interest rates or yield curves; or (iii) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs.

The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to Level 1 inputs and the lowest ranking to Level 3 inputs. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The Company used the following methods to measure fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis.

~~Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques~~ -Securities available for ~~sale:~~sale and Equity investments: where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified as Level 1. Level 1 instruments include highly liquid government bonds, securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, and exchange-traded equity securities.

If quoted prices are not available, management determines fair value using pricing models, quoted prices of similar securities, which are considered Level 2, or discounted cash flows. In certain cases, where there is limited activity in the market for an instrument, assumptions must be made to determine their fair value. Such instruments are classified as Level 3.

Sold loan servicing rights, at fair value: The fair value of sold loan servicing rights is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis, which uses interest rates, prepayment speeds, discount rates, and delinquency rate assumptions as inputs. Servicing rights are classified as Level 3 due to reliance on assumptions used in the valuation.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis - Assets are considered to be valued on a nonrecurring basis if the fair value measurement of the instrument does not necessarily result in a change in the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Generally, nonrecurring valuation is the result of the application of other accounting pronouncements that require assets or liabilities to be assessed for impairment or recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities other than investment securities are not traded in active markets. Estimated fair values require subjective judgments and are approximate. The estimates of fair value in the previous table are not necessarily representative of amounts that could be realized in actual market transactions, or of the underlying value of the Company. The methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments as set forth below in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, as amended by ASU 2016-01 requiring public entities to use the exit price notion effective January 1, 2018, are as follows:

Securities - Fair values for investment securities are primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. The pricing service uses pricing models based on market data. In the event that limited or less transparent information is provided by the third-party pricing service, fair value is estimated using secondary pricing services or non-binding third-party broker quotes.

Loans receivable, net - At ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022, the fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate at which similar loans and leases would be made to borrowers with similar credit and for the same remaining maturities. Additionally, to be consistent with the requirements under FASB ASC Topic 820 for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the loans were valued at a price that represents the Company’s exit price or the price at which these instruments would be sold or transferred.

~~Mortgage~~Sold loan servicing rights, net - The estimated fair value of ~~mortgage~~ servicing rights on sold loans is based on market prices for comparable ~~mortgage~~loan servicing contracts when available. If no comparable contract is available, the estimated fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.

Note 11- Business Combination

On July 23, 2021, the Bank acquired certain assets and assumed liabilities of the Sterling Bank and Trust of Southfield, Michigan ("Sterling") upon purchasing their sole branch located in Washington State. As a result of the Sterling transaction, the Bank has established a presence in Bellevue, Washington, and expanded its deposit base. Total consideration paid under the Sterling transaction consisted of $63.5 million in cash. There were no transfers of common stock or other equity instruments in connection with the transaction, and the Bank did not obtain any equity interests in Sterling.

The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded in the Company's consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair value as of the July 23, 2021, transaction date. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill arising from the transaction consists largely of a premium paid for the deposit accounts.

In most instances, determining the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities required the Bank to estimate cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at the appropriate rate of interest. Differences may arise between contractually required payments and the expected cash flows at the acquisition date due to items such as prepayments or early withdrawals, and other factors. Goodwill is expected to be fully deductible for income tax purposes as, under the terms of the transaction, the Bank purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Sterling but did not acquire any equity or other ownership interests.

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

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

	•	the risks associated with lending and potential adverse changes in the credit quality of loans in our ~~portfolio;~~portfolio, particularly with respect to borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, or climate change;
	•	a decrease in the market demand for loans that we originate for sale;
	•	our ability to control operating costs and expenses;
	•	whether our management team can implement our operational strategy, including but not limited to our efforts to achieve loan and revenue growth;
	•	our ability to successfully execute on merger and/or acquisition strategies and integrate any newly acquired assets, liabilities, customers, systems, and management personnel into our operations and our ability to realize related cost savings within expected time frames;
	•	our ability to successfully execute on growth strategies related to our entry into new markets;
	•	our ability to develop user-friendly digital applications to serve existing customers and attract new customers;
	•	the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation;
	•	changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long-term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources;

First Northwest is affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. Deposit flows are influenced by several factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, alternative investment options available to our customers, account maturities, the number and quality of our deposit originators, digital delivery systems, branding and customer acquisition, and the overall level of personal income and savings in the markets where we do business. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, our credit policies, the number and quality of our lenders and credit underwriters, digital delivery systems, branding and customer acquisition, and regional economic cycles.

Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on our loans and investments and interest expense paid on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates and cash flows from existing assets and liabilities affect our net interest income. A secondary source of income is noninterest income, which includes revenue we receive from providing products and services, including service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage banking income, loan sales, interest rate swap fee income, earnings from bank-owned life insurance, investment services income, and gains and losses from sales of securities.

An offset to net interest income is the provision for loan losses, which represents the periodic charge to operations that is required to adequately provide for losses inherent in our loan portfolio through our allowance for loan losses. A recapture of previously recognized provision for loan losses may be added to net income as credit metrics improve, such as a loan's risk rating, increased property values, improvements in the economic environment, or receipt of recoveries of amounts previously charged off.

Noninterest expenses we incur in operating our business consist of salaries and employee benefit costs, occupancy and equipment expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments, data processing expenses, marketing and customer acquisition expenses, professional fees, expenses related to real estate and personal property owned, and other expenses.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictive measures taken by governments, businesses and individuals caused unprecedented uncertainty, volatility and disruption in financial markets and in governmental, commercial and consumer activity in the United States and globally, including the markets that we serve. ~~As initial restrictive measures were eased during 2020 and into 2021, the U.S. economy started to recover and, with the availability and distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine, we~~We anticipate continued improvements in commercial and consumer activity and the U.S. economy. As of September 30, 2021, the governor of Washington removed restrictions initially set in place, allowing businesses to return to full capacity.

We recognize that our business and consumer customers are experiencing varying degrees of financial distress, which is expected to continue through the remainder of ~~2021, especially if~~2022, as new COVID-19 variant infections increase and new restrictions are mandated. Commercial activity has improved but has not returned to the levels existing prior to the outbreak of the pandemic, which may result in our customers’ inability to meet their loan obligations to us. In addition, the economic pressures and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting supply chain issues have resulted in changes in consumer spending behaviors, which may negatively impact the demand for loans and other services we offer. Our borrowing base includes customers in industries such as hospitality; restaurant and food services; and lessors of commercial real estate to hospitality, restaurant, and retail establishments, all of which have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company’s exposure as a percent of the total loan portfolio to these industries w~~as 3.6%~~was 4.0%, ~~0.1%~~0.3%, and ~~4.2%~~4.0%, rerespectively. We recognize that these industries may take longer to recover as consumers may be hesitant to return to full social interaction or may change their spending habits on a more permanent basis as a result of the pandemic. We continue to monitor these customers closely.

We have taken deliberate actions to ensure that we have the balance sheet strength to serve our clients and communities, including increases in liquidity and managing our assets and liabilities in order to maintain a strong capital position; however, future economic conditions are subject to significant uncertainty. Uncertainties associated with the pandemic include the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and any related variant infections, the availability and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, and the impact on our customers, employees, vendors and the economy. While uncertainty still exists, we believe we are well-positioned to operate effectively through the present economic environment.

We continue to provide banking and financial services to our customers, ~~with~~having returned to regular lobby and drive-thru access ~~available~~ at all our branch locations ~~and in-person services available to walk-in customers or by appointment. Our branch locations are currently open and operating, having returned to normal business hours at the beginning of~~in May 2021. In addition, we continue to provide access to banking and financial services through online banking, Interactive Teller Machines ("ITMs"), Automated Teller Machines ("ATMs"), and by telephone. We continue to take additional precautions within all our locations, including providing personal protection equipment and enhanced cleaning procedures, to ensure the safety of our customers and our employees.

We provided assistance to many small businesses applying for the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") funding. ~~As of September 30, 2021,~~ ~~we processed $35.0 million of loans for 427 customers during the second round of SBA PPP funding with an average loan amount of $82,000.~~ We processed $32.2 million of loans for 515 customers through the initial round of SBA PPP funding during 2020 with an average loan amount of $63,000. We processed $35.0 million of loans for 427 customers during the second round of SBA PPP funding with an average loan amount of $82,000. Payments by borrowers on these loans can be deferred up to sixteen months after the note date, and interest, at 1%, will continue to accrue during the deferment period. Loans can be forgiven in whole or part (up to full principal and any accrued interest). We partnered with a third-party financial technology provider to assist our borrowers with the loan forgiveness application process. As of ~~September 30, 2021, $28.2~~March 31, 2022, $32.1 million, or ~~87.5%~~99.7%, of the first-round loans were forgiven and ~~$11.5~~$27.9 million, or ~~33.0%~~79.7%, of second-round loans were forgiven.

Critical Accounting Policies

Effective January 1, 2022, the Bank elected to measure servicing rights using the fair value method of accounting. We record servicing rights on loans originated and subsequently sold into the secondary market. We stratify our capitalized servicing rights based on the type, term and interest rates of the underlying loans. Servicing rights are measured at fair value at each reporting date with the change reported in earnings. The value is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis, which uses interest rates, prepayment speeds and delinquency rate assumptions as inputs. All of these assumptions require a significant degree of management judgment. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, the value of our mortgage servicing rights could be negatively affected.

There ~~are~~were no other material changes to the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Comparison of Financial Condition at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021

Assets. Total assets increased to ~~$1.85~~$1.94 billion at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 from ~~$1.65~~$1.92 billion at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $43.5 million, or 34.5%, to $82.5 million as of March 31, 2022, compared to $126.0 million as of December 31, 2021. Excess cash was deployed into the investment and loan portfolios as the Bank continued to build earning assets.

Net loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased ~~$203.2~~$20.3 million to ~~$1.35~~$1.37 billion at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, from ~~$1.14~~$1.35 billion at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Our construction loans are geographically dispersed throughout Western Washington ~~(with~~with one loan in ~~Oregon).~~Oregon and two loans in Idaho. We manage our construction lending by utilizing a licensed third-party vendor to assist us in monitoring our construction projects. We continue to monitor the projects currently in our portfolio to determine the impact of COVID-19 on completion. As of the date of this ~~point in time,~~report, we have no reason to believe that any of the projects in process will not be completed. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, acquisition-renovation loans of ~~$53.7~~$31.2 million were included in the construction loan total compared to ~~$39.3~~$51.1 million at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. These commercial acquisition-renovation loans represent financing primarily for the acquisition of multi-family properties with a construction component used for the renovation of common areas and specific units of the building. Given the construction component of these loans we are required to report them as construction under regulatory guidelines; however, we consider these loans to be lower risk than typical ground-up construction projects. By investing in one- to four-family, multi-family and acquisition-renovation construction projects which increase the supply of housing in our market, we are doing our small part to address housing affordability.

We monitor real estate values and general economic conditions in our market areas, in addition to assessing the strength of our borrowers, including their equity contributions to a project, to prudently underwrite construction loans. We continually assess our lending strategies across all product lines and markets within which we do business to improve earnings while also prudently managing credit risk.

At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, there were ~~$1.9~~$1.8 million in restructured loans, of which ~~$1.8~~$1.79 million were performing in accordance with their modified payment terms and ~~returned to accrual status.~~are accruing loans. Classified loans increased ~~$5.2~~$1.7 million to ~~$12.7~~$14.3 million at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, from ~~$7.5~~$12.6 million at December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, due to the addition of a single ~~commercial~~residential real estate loan that was downgraded in ~~2021.~~2022.

~~Net loan~~Loan charge-offs are concentrated mainly in our indirect auto loan portfolio. We stopped originating loans from one of our indirect auto loan product offerings in 2020 to reduce credit risk and future charge-off activity. We continue to monitor the program in order to prudently manage risk within the portfolio. The balance of indirect auto loans decreased to ~~$12.6~~$8.8 million at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 from ~~$20.5~~$10.6 million at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. We believe our allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks of loss in the overall loan portfolio as of ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

The projected average life of our securities may vary due to prepayment activity, which, particularly in the mortgage-backed securities portfolio, is impacted by prevailing mortgage interest rates. Management maintains a focus on enhancing the mix of earning assets by originating loans as a percentage of earning assets; however, we continue to purchase investment securities as a source of additional interest income. Securities are sold to provide liquidity, improve long-term portfolio yields, reduce LIBOR risk, and manage duration in the portfolio.

~~Interest Expense.~~ Total interest expense decreased $184,000, or 11.4%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, due to a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $555,000 resulting from a 27 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits, offset by interest expense on subordinated debt issued in 2021 of $390,000. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $170.1 million, or 16.9%, to $1.18 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from $1.01 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as we grew deposits in new and existing market areas. Additionally, the purchase of the Bellevue branch added $55.3 million in average deposit balances, mainly in money market and CD accounts.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, interest expense decreased due to a decrease in the average balances on savings accounts of $14.2 million and certificates of deposit of $61.9 million, respectively, coupled with decreases in the average rate paid of 34 and 28 basis points, respectively, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. During the same period, the average balances of money market and demand deposit accounts increased $181.5 million and $36.3 million, respectively. The average cost of interest-bearing deposit products decreased to 0.29% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, from 0.56% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, due in large part to the expiration of promotional rates and a shift in balances to lower-yielding demand deposit accounts. Borrowing costs increased due to the subordinated debt issued in March 2021.

Gain on sale of investments was $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to gain on sale of investments of $969,000 for the same period in 2020.

For additional information, see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

~~Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020~~

~~General.~~ Net income increased $3.8 million, or 57.8%, to $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income of $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, due to an increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses compared to the same period in 2020 offset by an increase in noninterest expense.

~~Net Interest Income.~~ Net interest income increased $11.2 million to $42.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $31.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was mainly the result of an increase in average earning assets of $325.8 million. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 4 basis points to 3.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 3.85% for the same period in the prior year due to a decrease in reinvestment loan and investment securities rates.

The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 0.85% for the same period last year, due primarily to a decrease in rates on interest-bearing deposits of 49 basis points offset by an increase in borrowing rates of 70 basis points related to the issuance of subordinated debt. Total cost of funds decreased 37 basis points to 35 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from 73 basis points for the same period in 2020. The net interest margin increased 28 basis points to 3.48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from 3.20% for the same period in 2020.

~~Interest Income.~~ ~~Total~~interest income increased $8.8 million, or 23.2%, to $46.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $37.7 million for the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to an increase in the average balances on interest-earning assets. Interest and fees on loans receivable increased $8.8 million, to $40.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from $31.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, related to an increase in the average balance of net loans receivable of $275.9 million compared to the prior year and the recognition of deferred fee income on PPP and MSLP loan payoffs. Average loan yields decreased 3 basis points to 4.42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

In the normal course of operations, First Fed engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in the financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Liquidity Management

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term and long-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities, and borrowings from the FHLB. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are usually predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and borrowed funds, and prepayments on loans and investment securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition, which can cause those sources of funds to fluctuate.

Management regularly adjusts our investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of our interest-rate risk and investment policies.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents followed by ~~available for sale~~available-for-sale securities. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled ~~$76.1~~$82.5 million, and unpledged securities classified as available-for-sale with a market value of ~~$200.0~~$272.0 million provided additional sources of liquidity. We pledged collateral of $475.7 million to support borrowings from the FHLB ~~of $446.8 million~~ and have an established borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, for which available-for-sale securities with a market value of ~~$23.5~~$9.7 million were pledged as of ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had ~~$3.0~~$12.8 million in loan commitments outstanding and ~~$256.3~~$260.6 million in undisbursed loans and standby letters of credit, including ~~$180.4~~$161.3 million in undisbursed construction loan commitments.

Table of Contents

Certificates of deposit due within one year as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 totaled ~~$157.0~~$147.3 million, or ~~64.1%~~61.6% of certificates of deposit with a weighted-average rate of ~~0.67%~~0.40%. We believe the large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers' hesitancy to invest their funds for longer periods as market interest rates ~~have recently declined.~~were in decline. If these maturing deposits are not renewed, however, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit, non-maturity deposits, and borrowings. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered as well as through sales and marketing efforts in the markets we serve. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on certificates of deposit. In addition, we believe that our branch network, and the general cash flows from our existing lending and investment activities, will provide us more than adequate long-term liquidity. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and provides for its own liquidity. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had liquid assets of ~~$16.6~~$7.8 million. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying dividends declared, if any, to its shareholders, funds paid for Company stock repurchases, ~~and~~ payments on subordinated notes held at the Company ~~level.~~level, and commitments to joint ventures. The Company has the ability to receive dividends or capital distributions from the Bank, although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends. First Northwest has partially fulfilled its commitment to extend $15.0 million to Quin Ventures, Inc. under a capital financing agreement and related promissory note.

Capital Resources

At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, shareholders' equity totaled ~~$187.8~~$177.8 million, or ~~10.2%~~9.1% of total assets. Our book value per share of common stock was ~~$18.65~~$17.77 at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared to ~~$18.19~~$19.10 at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and was considered "well capitalized" under FDIC regulatory capital guidelines.

The following table provides the capital requirements and actual results for First Fed at ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

	Actual					Minimum Capital Requirements					Minimum Required to be Well-Capitalized					Actual					Minimum Capital Requirements					Minimum Required to be Well-Capitalized

In order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses, the Bank must maintain common equity tier 1 capital ("CET1") at an amount greater than the required minimum levels plus a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented in this report have been prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which require the measurement of financial and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs and the effect that general inflation may have on both short-term and long-term interest rates. Unlike companies in many other industries, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than do general levels of inflation. Although inflation expectations do affect interest rates, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in First Northwest Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), and other members of the Company's management team as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, 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 Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Company intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business. While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent every error or instance of fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is engaged in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, none of which are currently considered to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~The disclosures below supplement~~There have been no material changes to the risk factors ~~previously disclosed under~~set forth in Part I. Item 1A of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~

~~The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect the future results of operations of our customers and/or the market price of our stock.~~

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, as do federal, state and local efforts to address it. Both the direct effects of the pandemic and the resulting United States governmental responses are of an unprecedented scope as it impacts both the health and the economy of our country and the world at large. No one can predict the extent or duration of the pandemic, or its effect on the markets that we serve. Further, the ongoing efforts and impact of the government in mitigating the health and the economic effects of the pandemic cannot currently be predicted, whether on our business or as to the economy as a whole. The pandemic has thus far resulted in significant volatility in international and United States markets, which could adversely affect the market price of our stock. To date, the pandemic has resulted in significant business disruption and volatility in the international and domestic markets, which has adversely affected the market price of our stock.

The Company continues to manage through uncertainties and complexities created by the pandemic. As an essential business, our employees have been able to work safely in our branch locations and over 70% of our workforce has the ability to work from home. However, the economic downturn in local markets we serve could result in increased credit risk associated with the loan portfolio to the extent that customers are unable to repay loans and meet their obligations, as well as adversely impacting our earnings. We believe our strong capital position will be important in managing through the effects of the pandemic.2021.

~~COVID-19 Legislation and Regulation.~~

Governments at the federal, state, and local levels continue to take steps to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law, which included $350 billion in stimulus for small businesses under the SBA PPP, along with direct stimulus payments (i.e., "economic impact payments" or "stimulus checks") for many eligible Americans. Shortly thereafter, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enforcement Act was signed into law and replenished funding to the SBA PPP and provided other spending for hospitals and virus testing. On June 5, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act ("PPPFA") was enacted. Main provisions of the PPPFA extended the PPP loan repayment period from two to five years, extended the covered expense period from eight to 24 weeks, and lowered the percentage of forgiveness amount required to be used for eligible payroll costs to 60%. The PPPFA also extended the repayment start date until after the SBA finalized the application process for loan forgiveness. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, enacted in December 2020, included another $284 billion to fund an expansion of the SBA PPP, subject to certain changes in eligibility requirements and program design. Most recently, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 became law in March 2021 and provides for a $1.9 billion stimulus package that, among other financial aid measures, included a new round of PPP funding with an application deadline of May 31, 2021.Not applicable.
