Subsequent Events. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 12, 2020, which is the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, determining no additional events required disclosure.
  
 

Going Concern StatusJunior Subordinated Debenture.. In 2004, the Company formed OptimumBank Capital Trust I (the “Trust’’) for the purpose of raising capital through the sale of trust preferred securities. At that time, the Trust raised $5,155,000 through the sale of 5,000 trust preferred securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) to a third party investor and the issuance of 155 common trust securities to the Company.

The Trust utilized the proceeds of $5,155,000 to purchase a junior subordinated debenture from the Company is in default with respect to its $5,155,000(the “Junior Subordinated Debenture”). Under the Junior Subordinated Debenture, (“Debenture”the Company is required to make interest payments on a periodic basis and to pay the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest on October 7, 2034.

In May 2018, Preferred Shares, LLC (the “Purchaser”) acquired all 5,000 of the Trust Preferred Securities from a third party. The Purchaser is an affiliate of a director of the Company. The Purchaser has subsequently sold and/or transferred 2,575 of the Trust Preferred Securities to unaffiliated third parties.

During 2019 and 2018, the Company issued 1,226,173 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for 2,575 Trust Preferred Securities. For accounting purposes, the Trust Preferred Securities acquired by the Company were deemed to be cancelled. As a result, the Company cancelled $2,575,000 in principal amount of the Trust Preferred Securities, together with accrued interest of $974,000, and increased its stockholders’ equity by the same amount. The remaining principal owed by the Company in connection with the Junior Subordinated Debenture was $2,580,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company has been in default under the Junior Subordinated Debenture due to itsthe failure to make certain requiredpay interest payments undersince 2015. In September 2020, the Debenture. The Trustee of the Debenture (the “Trustee”) orCompany paid approximately $1.1 million to the holders of the outstanding Trust Preferred Securities, which represented all accrued interest owed under the Junior Subordinated Debenture are entitledattributable to accelerate the payment ofTrust Preferred Securities that had not been cancelled. The accrued interest owed by the $5,155,000 principal balance plus accruedCompany associated with the Junior Subordinated Debenture was $0 and unpaid interest totaling $1,314,000$995,000 at September 30, 2017. To date the Trustee has not accelerated the outstanding balance of the Debenture. No adjustments to2020 and December 31, 2019 respectively. The accrued interest at December 31, 2019 is presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been made as a result of this uncertainty.balance sheet under the caption “Other liabilities”.

 

Management’s plans with regard to this matter are as follows: A Director of the Company has offered to purchase the Debenture and this offer has been approved by certain equity owners of the Trust that holds the Debenture. The Director has also agreed to enter into a forbearance agreement with the Company with respect to payments due under the Debenture upon consummation of the Director’s purchase of the Debenture.

In March 2016, the Trustee received a direction from certain equity owners of the Trust that holds the Debenture to sell the Debenture to a Director of the Company. Based upon the receipt of conflicting directions from other debt holders of the Trust, in August 2016, the Trustee commenced an action in a Minnesota State Court seeking directions from the Court. The case was subsequently transferred to United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, where the case is currently pending. The Company continues to pursue mechanisms for paying the accrued interest, such as raising additional capital.

 Comprehensive LossLoss.GAAP generally requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in operations.net loss. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for saleavailable-for-sale debt securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, such items along with net (loss) earnings,loss, are components of comprehensive loss. The only component of comprehensive loss is the net change in the unrealized loss (gain) on the securities available for sale.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of the following (in thousands):

  September 30,  December 31,

Recent Pronouncements.In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01,Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which is intended to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The ASU requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair values recognized in net earnings, simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identity impairment and eliminates the requirement to disclose fair values, the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The ASU also clarifies that the Company should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available for-sale debt securities in combination with the Company’s other deferred tax assets. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU improves financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by the Company. The ASU requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. The Company will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The ASU will take effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is in the process of determining the effect of the ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"). ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements associated with fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The removed and modified disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. The implementation had no significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-2,Leases (Topic 842) which will require lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with term of more than twelve months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is in the process of determining the effect of the ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Early application will be permitted.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments. The ASU affects all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the consolidated statement of cash flows. The ASU was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has evaluated the effect of ASU and determined it has no material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU improves financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by the Company. The ASU requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. The Company will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The ASU will take effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the effect of the ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08,Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) which amends the accounting for the amortization of premiums for certain purchased callable debt securities by shortening the amortization period to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-08 may have, if any, on its condensed consolidated financial statements.In May 2017, the FASB issued new guidance related to Stock Compensation, Scope of Modification Accounting. The new guidance provides clarity and reduces both diversity in practice and cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. An entity will not apply modification accounting to a share-based payment award if all of the following are the same immediately before and after the change: (i) the award’s fair value, (ii) the award’s vesting conditions and (iii) the award’s classification as an equity or liability instrument. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the effect of the amendments on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, The ASU amends ASC 815 which makes limited changes to the Board’s guidance on classifying certain financial instruments as either liabilities or equity. The ASU’s objective is to improve (1) the accounting for instruments with “down-round” provisions and (2) the readability of the guidance in ASC 480 on distinguishing liabilities from equity by replacing the indefinite deferral of certain pending content with scope exceptions. In addition, the ASU amends the guidance on the recognition and measurement of freestanding equity-classified instruments (e.g., warrants) by adding requirements to ASC 260 for entities that disclose earnings per share (EPS). The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, early adoption is permitted upon its issuance. The Company currently has no financials instruments related to this ASU. As a result, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-12, which amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in ASC 815. The Board’s objectives in issuing the ASU are to improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities by better aligning the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities and to reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, early adoption is permitted upon its issuance. The Company currently has no hedging relationships. As a result, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Debt Securities Continued.

 

Management evaluates debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrantswarrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospectus of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

 

At September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, the unrealized losses on fourteen investmentsix debt securities, and six investment securities, respectively were caused by market conditions. It is expected that the debt securities would not be settled at a price less than the book value of the investments. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to market conditions and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

Loans, Continued.

 

The Company has divided the loan portfolio into six portfolio segments, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing risk. All loans are underwritten based upon standards set forth in the policies approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Company identifies the portfolio segments as follows:

Residential Real Estate, Multi-Family Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Land and Construction. AllResidential real estate loans are underwritten in accordance with policies set forth and approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”), includingbased on repayment capacity and source, value of the underlying property, credit history and stability. The Company offers first and second one-to-four family mortgage loans; the collateral for these loans is generally the borrower’s owner-occupied residences. Although these types of loans present lower levels of risk than commercial real estate loans, risks do still exist because of possible fluctuations in the value of the real estate collateral securing the loan, as well as changes in the borrowers’ financial condition. Multi-family and commercial real estate loans are secured by the subject property and are underwritten based upon standards set forth in the policies approved by the Company’s Board. Such standards include, among other factors, loan to value limits, cash flow coverage and general creditworthiness of the obligors. Construction loans to borrowers finance the construction of owner occupied and leased properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to commercial or residential real estate loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Real estate development and construction loans are approved based on an analysis of the borrower and guarantor, the viability of the project and on an acceptable percentage of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. Real estate development and construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction completed. The Company carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Development and construction loans are typically secured by the properties under development or construction, and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the underlying property, the Company considers the market conditions and feasibility of proposed projects, the financial condition and reputation of the borrower and guarantors, the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project, independent appraisals, cost estimates and pre-construction sales information. The Company also makes loans on occasion for the purchase of land for future development by the borrower. Land loans are extended for future development for either commercial or residential use by the borrower. The Company carefully analyzes the intended use of the property and the viability thereof.

  
 Commercial.Commercial business loans and lines of credit consist of loans to small- and medium-sized companies in the Company’s market area. Commercial loans are generally used for working capital purposes or for acquiring equipment, inventory or furniture. Primarily all of the Company’s commercial loans are secured loans, along with a small amount of unsecured loans. The Company’s underwriting analysis consists of a review of the financial statements of the borrower, the lendingborrowing history of the borrower, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business, the value of the collateral, if any, and whether the loan is guaranteed by the principals of the borrower. These loans are generally secured by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Commercial loans are typically made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business, which makes them of higher risk than residential loans and the collateral securing loans may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. The Company seeks to minimize these risks through its underwriting standards. Commercial loans also consist of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans which are fully guaranteed by the federal government.
  
 Consumer.Consumer loans are extended for various purposes, including purchases of automobiles, recreational vehicles, and boats. Also offered are home improvement loans, lines of credit, personal loans, and deposit account collateralized loans. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts.

Internally assigned loan grades are defined as follows:

 

 Pass – Aa Pass loan’s primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary. These are loans that conform in all aspects to bank policy and regulatory requirements, and no repayment risk has been identified.
  
 OLEM – Anan Other Loan Especially Mentioned has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date.
  
 Substandard – Aa Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current soundnet worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Included in this category are loans that are current on their payments, but the Bank is unable to document the source of repayment. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
  
 Doubtful – Aa loan classified as Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified as Substandard, with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. The Company charges off any loan classified as Doubtful.
  
 Loss – Aa loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affectedeffected in the future. The Company fully charges off any loan classified as Loss.

(8)Off- Balance Sheet Financial Instruments.The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.
As of September 30, 2017, commitments to extend credit totaled $4.3 million.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit to customers is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments. Standby letters of credit generally have expiration dates within one year.

Commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded. A summary of the contractual amounts of the Company’s financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at September 30, 2020 follows (in thousands):

Commitments to extend credit $4,091 
     
Unused lines of credit $5,332 
     
Standby letters of credit $4,550 

 

(9)Regulatory Matters. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the bank regulatory agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
  
 Effective January 1, 2015, theThe Bank, becameis subject to the new Basel III capital level threshold requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations with full compliance with all of the final rule’s requirements phased in over a multi-year schedule. These new regulations were designed to ensure that banks maintain strong capital positions even in the event of severe economic downturns or unforeseen losses.
  
 ChangesRegulatory banking agencies issued final rules on October 29, 2019 that could affectprovide simplified capital measures, including a simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations consistent with section 201 of the Bank going forward include additional constraintsEconomic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act. Qualifying community banking organizations with less than $10 billion of assets that comply with, and elect to use, the community bank leverage ratio (“CBLR”) and that maintain a CBLR greater than 8% in 2020 would be considered to be “well-capitalized” and would no longer be subject to the other generally applicable capital rules. The CBLR would be used and applied for purposes of compliance with the Federal Banking Agencies ‘prompt corrective action rules, and Federal Reserve Regulation O and W compliance, as well as in calculating FDIC deposit insurance assessments. The CBLR, among other proposals, reflects the regulatory banking agencies’ focus on the inclusionappropriately tailoring capital requirements to an institution’s size, complexity and risk profile. The CBLR was first available for banking organizations to use in their March 31, 2020 Call Report. Non-advanced approaches banking organizations will also be able to take advantage of simpler regulatory capital requirements for mortgage servicing assets, certain deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences and investments in capital and increased risk weightings for nonperforming loans and acquisition/development loans in regulatory capital. Beginning on January 1, 2016, the Bank became subject to the capital conservation buffer rules which places limitations on distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. In order to avoid these limitations, an institution must hold a capital conservation buffer above its minimum risk-based capital requirements.unconsolidated financial institutions. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,2020, the Bank’s capital conversation buffer exceeds the minimum requirements of 0.625%. The required buffer isCompany has determined to be phasedopt in over three years. Underto adopting the new regulations in the first quarter of 2015, the Bank elected an irreversible one-time opt-out to exclude accumulated other comprehensive loss from regulatory capital.CBLR.

Regulatory Enforcement Actions
Bank Consent Order. On November 7, 2016, the Bank agreed to the issuance of a Consent Order by the FDIC and the OFR (the “Consent Order”), which requires the Bank to take certain measures to improve its safety and soundness. The Consent Order supersedes the prior consent order that became effective in 2010. Pursuant to the Consent Order, the Bank is required to take certain measures to improve its management, condition and operations, including actions to improve management practices and board supervision and independence, assure that its allowance for loan losses is maintained at an appropriate level and improve liquidity. The Consent Order requires the Bank to adopt and implement a compliance plan to address the Banks obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act and related obligations related to anti-money laundering. The Consent Order prohibits the payment of dividends by the Bank. The Consent Order continues the requirement for the Bank to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12% beginning 90 days from the issuance of the Consent Order. At September 30, 2017, the Bank had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.54%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.42%.

Regulatory Matters, Continued.Management believes that the Bank has made substantial progress in improving its financial condition through a significant reduction in non-performing assets and the receipt of capital increases from investors since the 2010 Consent Order. The Bank is also making significant progress in resolving the other issues raised by the FDIC and the OFR including strengthening the senior management team with the addition of David Edgar as Chief Financial Officer in October 2017. Although the Bank has been hampered by difficulties in raising capital due to the default under the Junior Subordinated Debenture and the limits placed on the Company and the Bank under the prior Consent Order and the Written Agreement. Management intends to continue its efforts to meet the conditions of the New Consent Order and the Written Agreement.
Company Written Agreement with Reserve Bank.

(12)Loan Loss Recovery.On January 6, 2016,

The Coronavirus global pandemic (“COVID-19”) has negatively impacted the Bank completed a saleglobal economy, disrupted global supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets and significantly increased unemployment levels. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of judgementoperations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on a defaulted credit that resulted in a $1.8 million recovery of previously charged-off amounts tofuture developments, the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”). This increased the balanceduration of the ALLLpandemic, and actions taken by governmental authorities to approximately $4.2 million. On February 12, 2016, and amended May 6, 2016, pursuant toslow the terms and requirementsspread of the Consent Order, Management submitted a written requestdisease or to the FDIC for a partial reversal of the ALLL. The FDIC has requested additional information to assess the Bank’s request for a reversal. As of this date, the FDIC has not reached a final decision in regards to the Bank’s request.

The Company recorded compensation expense of $200,000 based ontook action to prepare its employees, support its clients, and help its communities. The Company has supported small business owners by making loans through the fair market value of the shares at that time, and reflected the issuance of the shares as an increase in stockholders’ equity. The Bank’s Chairman has not yet taken delivery of the shares. As a result, during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company determined to reclassify the transaction as a liability of the Company (rather than an increase in stockholders’ equity) until the issuance of the shares. As of December 31, 2016, an accrued liability totaling $200,000 was recorded in connection with these shares.

(14)Brokered Deposits.Under the terms of the Consent Order, the Bank is not permitted to solicit brokered deposits. In March 2017, the FDIC notified the Bank that it considers a significant portion of the Bank’s certificates of deposit to be brokered deposits due to the rates paid on such deposits, even though such deposits were not obtained through any deposit brokers. The Bank has requested a waiver of the prohibition on brokered deposits from the FDIC which has been subsequently withdrawn. Consequently, the Bank can not renew or rollover the existing certificates of deposit that are viewed as brokered deposits, which have an adverse effect on the Bank’s liquidity. Management has identified several strategies to mitigate this issue and believes that the Bank’s liquidity will be sufficient.Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). As of September 30, 2017,2020, the Bank had $25.1 million in brokered deposits thatoriginated 204 PPP loans for a total dollar amount of $19.2 million. These loans are 100% guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The Company has the option to fund PPP loans through the Federal Reserve Bank’s Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (the “PPPLF”). Loans pledged to secure PPPLF advances will mature overbe excluded from the next two years. Management is exploring all alternatives to resolve this issue including, but not limited to, raising local deposits.
(15)Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) Lookback Review.Under the termscalculations of the Consent Order, the Bank is required to perform a BSA lookback review. The Bank estimates that the cost of the BSA lookback review will range from $250,000 to $300,000 based on an independent firm’s proposal for services. The proposal and ultimate agreement is subject to FDIC review and approval. Until the approval is received, these BSA services cannot be rendered. Once the BSA lookback review begins, the independent firm has 120 days to complete the work. As ofBank’s regulatory capital ratios.

In the past, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, relied on dividends from the Bank to fund its operating expenses, primarily expenses of being publicly held, and to make interest payments on the Company’s junior subordinated debenture (the “Debenture”). Under the Consent Order, the Bank is currently unable to pay dividends to the Company without prior regulatory approval. Additionally, under the Written Agreement, the Company may not pay interest payments on the Debenture or dividends on the Company’s common stock, incur any additional indebtedness at the Company level, or redeem the Company’s common stock without the prior regulatory approval of the Federal Reserve Bank.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company is a partyRefer to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in these financial instruments.Note 8 for Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments.

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of thirty years. The interest rate was fixed at 6.4% for the first five years,Financial Condition and thereafter, the coupon rate floats quarterly at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 2.45% (3.78% at September 30, 2017). The Debenture is redeemable in certain circumstances. The termsResults of the Debenture allow the Company to defer payments of interest on the Debenture by extending the interest payment period at any time during the term of the Debenture for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods. Beginning in 2010, the Company exercised its right to defer payment of interest on the Debenture. Interest payments deferred as of September 30, 2017 totaled $1,314,000. The Company has deferred interest payments with respect to the Debenture for the maximum allowable twenty consecutive quarterly payments. The holder of the Debenture can accelerate the $5,155,000 principal balance as a result of this default. Under the Written Agreement, the Company is not able to make these interest payments without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Regulatory approval to pay accrued and unpaid interest has been denied.

The Director has also agreed to enter into a forbearance agreement with the Company with respect to payments due under the Debenture upon consummation of the Director’s purchase of the debenture.

In March of 2016, the Trustee received a direction from certain equity owners of the Trust that hold the Debenture to Sell the Debenture to a Director of the Company. Based upon the receipt of other conflicting directions, in August 26, 2016, the Trustee commenced an action in a Minnesota State Court seeking directions from the Court. The case was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, were the case is currently pending. The Company continues to pursue mechanisms for paying the accrued interest, such as raising additional capital.

In the event the amounts due under the Debenture were accelerated, then the Trustee could undertake legal proceedings to obtain a judgment against the Company with respect to such amounts due under the Debenture. If this action were successful, then the Trustee could seek to affect a sale of the Bank to pay the amounts due under the Debenture.

On September 30, 2004, the Company issued a $5,155,000 junior subordinated debenture to an unconsolidated subsidiary (the “Debenture”). The Debenture has a term of thirty years. The interest rate was fixed at 6.4% for the first five years, and thereafter, the coupon rate floats quarterly at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 2.45% (3.78% at September 30, 2017). The Debenture is redeemable in certain circumstances.
