NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Critical Accounting Policies


Organization and Nature of business - First Northwest Bancorp, a Washington corporation, became the holding company of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles 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.


First Northwest's business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in First Federal. 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-K10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. 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. The Company changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31 effective December 31, 2017. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, 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 Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Subsequent Events - The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure and determined there are no such events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure.


has included additional information where appropriate.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements


In February 2016, the August 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-022018-13,Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in ASC 820. This guidance eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements: the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, an entity’s policy for the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and an entity’s valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance also adds new disclosure requirements for public entities: changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of instruments held at the end of the reporting period, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements, including how the weighted average is intended to increase transparencycalculated. Furthermore, this guidance modifies certain requirements which will involve disclosing: transfers into and comparability among organizations by requiringout of Level 3 of the recognitionfair value hierarchy, purchases and issuances of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The ASU requires a lessee to recognize on the balance sheetLevel 3 assets and liabilities, for leases with lease termsand information about the measurement uncertainty of more than 12 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. Unlike current GAAP, which requires that only capital leases be recognized on the balance sheet, the ASC requires that both types of leases be recognized on the balance sheet. For public companies, this update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019, resulted in a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease obligation liability of $3,919,000. The Corporation chose the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, prior period financial information has not been updated or restated. The right-of-use asset is included in other assets and the lease obligation liability is included in other liabilities on the September 30, 2019, consolidated balance sheet.

In August 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). This ASU was issued to provide investors better insight to an entity’s risk management hedging strategies by permitting companies to recognize the economic results of hedging strategies in the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU permit hedge accounting for hedging relationships involving non-financial risk and interest rate risk by removing certain limitations in cash flow andLevel 3 fair value hedging relationships. In addition, the ASU requires an entity to present the earnings effectmeasurements as of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. These amendments provide specific guidance for transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (i) financing to the issuer or (ii) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.reporting date. This guidance is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early2019, with early adoption is permitted but not earlier than the adoption of Topic 606. Adoption of thispermitted. This ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as it has not historically issued share-based payments in exchange for goods or services to be consumed within its operations.

In July 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, Codification Improvements. These amendments provide clarifications and corrections to certain ASC subtopics including the following: 220-10 (Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Overall), 470-50 (Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments), 480-10 (Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity - Overall), 718-740 (Compensation - Stock Compensation - Income Taxes), 805-740 (Business Combinations - Income Taxes), 815-10 (Derivatives and Hedging - Overall), and 820-10 (Fair Value Measurement - Overall). Some of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon issuance; however, many of the amendments do have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Adoption of ASU 2018-09 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In OctoberAugust 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)2018-15,Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, Inclusion ofto provide guidance on implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The ASU aligns the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rateaccounting for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The amendments in this ASU permit use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate, the Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Municipal Swap Rate. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted concurrentlysuch costs with the amendmentsguidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Specifically, the ASU amends ASC 350 to include in its scope implementation costs of such arrangements that are service contracts and clarifies that a customer should apply ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs should be capitalized.

Recently adopted regulatory rule

In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a final rule that amends certain of its disclosure requirements. The rule simplifies various disclosure requirements for public companies including primarily that it (i) eliminates the requirement for public companies to disclose in their filings a schedule of earnings to fixed charges, (ii) requires an analysis of changes in stockholders’ equity for the current and comparative year-to-date interim periods in interim reports, and (iii) reduces the requirements for market price information disclosures in annual reports. These changes are effective for public companies beginning on November 5, 2018. The Company started complying with these new requirements beginning with the Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2019, on Form 10-Q.


Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In June 2016, 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, 2020-03,Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments. The amendments represent clarification and improvements to the codification and correct unintended application. This standard was effective immediately upon issuance and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

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. 2016-132016-13 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, 2019-04,Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 825)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, 2019-05,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)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 326-20326-20 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.

for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, an entity’s policy for the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and an entity’s valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance also adds new disclosure requirements for public entities: changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of instruments held at the end of the reporting period, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements, including how the weighted average is calculated. Furthermore, this guidance modifies certain requirements which will involve disclosing: transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, purchases and issuances of Level 3 assets and liabilities, and information about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date. This guidance is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.

The ASU, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No.2020-04Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides 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.

The Company may hold certain investment securities in an unrealized loss position that are not considered other than temporarily impaired ("OTTI"). At September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, there were 3730 and 6962 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, and market demand, and notrelated 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. 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 it is not likely it will be required to sell these investments prior to a market price recovery or maturity.


There were no0 OTTI losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 2020 and 2018.2019.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company maintains a general allowance for loan losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, including management’s continuing analysis of the factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio. These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, and current and anticipated economic conditions. The reserve is an estimate based upon factors and trends identified by management at the time the financial statements are prepared.

Impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when First Federal 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-point8-point risk rating system, respectively. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and pay capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that First Federal 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 First Federal 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 particularcertain 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 First Federal to sufficientenough 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 1-31-3 in our risk rating system.


Additionally, First Federal 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 First Federal is granting the borrower a concession of some kind. First Federal 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. Through September 30, 2020, the Company had granted COVID-19 pandemic related temporary loan modifications on a total of 346 loans aggregating to $174.9 million, or 16.3% 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 whether or not a loan is deemed to be impaired.

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.


Under current Federal income tax regulations, charitable contribution deductions are limited to 10% of taxable income. Due to this limitation, the Company currently has a valuation allowance of $1.2 million for financial statement reporting purposes related to its contribution to the Foundation. The contribution carryforward and related valuation allowance will expire in 2020. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates whether its deferred tax assets will be realized and adjusts the amount of its valuation allowance, if necessary.

Effective January 1, 2018, the corporate U.S. statutory federal income tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21% under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company completed its accounting under ASC 740 in December 2017 for all material deferred tax assets and liabilities with provisional amounts recorded for immaterial items.

The effective tax rates were 18.9%24.4% and 18.6%18.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 2020 and 2018,2019, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory maximum federal tax rate for 20192020 and 20182019 of 21%, largely due to the nontaxable earnings on bank owned life insurance and tax-exempt interest income earned on certain investment securities and loans. An estimate for the penalty on the BOLI contract surrendered this year is included in the 2020 tax provision resulting in a higher effective tax rate.

Note 6 - Earnings per Share


Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. In addition, nonvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share.


The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 2020 and 2018.

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 annual principal and interest payment of $835,000 was made by the ESOP during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

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.

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-partythird-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-levelthree-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:


FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)



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.


Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques -Securities available for sale: 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 a particularan instrument, assumptions must be made to determine their fair value. Such instruments are classified as Level 3.

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 2016-012016-01 requiring public entities to use the exit price notion effective January 1, 2018, are as follows:


FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)



Securities - Fair values for investment securities are primarily measured using information from a third-partythird-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-partythird-party pricing service, fair value is estimated using secondary pricing services or non-binding third-partythird-party broker quotes.


Loans receivable, net - At September 30, 2019,2020, 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 servicing rights, net - The estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on market prices for comparable mortgage 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.

The Company recognizes revenue as it is earned and noted no impact to its revenue recognition policies as a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-09. The following is a discussion of key revenues within the scope of the new revenue guidance.

Deposit fees - The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for account maintenance, transaction-based activity and overdraft services. Account maintenance fees consist primarily of account fees and analyzed account fees charged on deposit accounts on a monthly basis. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are recognized on a monthly basis as the service period is completed. Transaction-based fees on deposit accounts are charged to deposit customers for specific services

provided to the customer, such as non-sufficient funds fees, overdraft fees, and wire fees. The performance obligation is completed as the transaction occurs and the fees are recognized at the time each specific service is provided to the customer.

Debit interchange income - Debit and Automated Teller Machine ("ATM") interchange income represent fees earned when a debit card issued by the Company is used. The Company earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions through card networks. In addition, the Company earns interchange fees for use of its ATM by customers of other banking institutions. Interchange fees are based on purchase volumes and other factors and are recognized as transactions occur. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the cardholder's debit card. Certain expenses directly associated with the credit and debit card are netted against interchange income.

Credit card interchange income- Credit card interchange income represents fees earned when a credit card issued by the Bank through a third-party vendor is used. Similar to the debit card interchange, the Bank earns an interchange fee for each transaction made with a Bank-branded credit card. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the cardholder's credit card. Certain expenses directly related to the credit card interchange contract are netted against interchange income.

Investment services revenue - Commissions received on the sale of investment related products is determined by a percentage of underlying instruments sold and is recognized when the sale is finalized.

Sale of other real estate owned (OREO) - Gains/losses on the sale of OREO are included in non-interest expense and are generally recognized when the performance obligation is complete. This is typically at delivery of control over the property to the buyer at time of each real estate closing.

General

First Northwest Bancorp (the "Company") is a bank holding company which primarily engages in the business activity of its subsidiary, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles ("First Federal" or the "Bank").Federal. First Federal is a community-orientedcommunity financial institution serving Western Washington. Our thirteen locations includeClallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, Whatcom, and King counties in Washington, through its Seattle lending center and ten full-service banking offices, two locations primarily serving our customers through the use of Interactive Teller Machines ("ITM"), and a Lending Center which has been focused on the origination of loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties and that we intend to expand to include a commercial lending team.branches. Our business and operating strategy is focused on building sustainable earnings through employing experienced bankers, diversifying our loan portfolio through geographic expansion and loan product mix, expanding our deposit product offerings by upgradingthat deliver value-added solutions, enhancing existing services and use of technology,digital service delivery channels, and enhancing our infrastructure to support our changing lending and deposit capabilities in order to meet the changing needs and expectations of our customers.


We offer a wide range of products and services focused on the lending and depository needs of the communities we serve.Western Washington. While we have a large concentration of first lien one- to four-family mortgage loans, we have increasedcontinue to increase our origination and portfolio balances of commercial real estate and multi-family real estate,estate. We have also increased our auto and constructionconsumer loans, as well as engaging inthrough indirect auto lending and purchased auto loan purchase programs, in order to diversify our asset portfolio and increase interest income. We continue to originate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and mayregularly sell conforming loans into the secondary market to increase noninterest income and manage our interest rate risk, or we mayrisk. We also retain one- to four-family first and second lien loans in our portfolio to enhancegenerate interest income. We offer traditional consumer and business deposit products, including transaction accounts, savings and money market accounts, and certificates of deposit for individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations. Deposits are our primary source of funds for our lending and investing activities. We also borrow funds, typically from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, as a way to provide cost effective liquidity and manage interest rate risk.

First FederalNorthwest is impactedaffected 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 a number ofseveral factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, alternative investment options available alternative investments,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.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, 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 which is required to adequately provide for probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio.portfolio through our allowance for loan losses. As credit metrics improve, such as a loan's risk rating, improves,increased property values, increase, or recoveries of amounts previously charged off are received, a recapture of previously recognized provision for loan losses may be added to net interest income.


The noninterest

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

COVID-19 Pandemic. In late 2019 and early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic manifested its impact on individuals, companies, and governmental entities around the world. It significantly impacted the global economy and created a challenging operating environment. As economic conditions deteriorated in mid-March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we responded in several ways. Some of the key adjustments and developments include the following:

For our employees:

Enhanced the ability of our employees to work remotely, adjusting branch operating hours and restricting lobby access in most cases.

Provided significant support to employees by granting an increase in flexibility with paid leave, temporarily adjusting vacation policies, and increasing the cleaning of facilities to enable a safer environment for those employees that are not able to work from home.

Increased compensation for hourly employees and providing additional compensation for exempt employees below the level of Senior Vice President.

For our customers and communities:

Offering short-term loan payment and fee forbearance programs. Many borrowers requested and received temporary forbearance from obligations to assist them with the expected shortage in their near-term cash flow.

Facilitating government programs like the Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program ("SBA PPP") and Main Street Lending Program ("MSLP") established by the Federal Reserve.

Investing in our communities. We contributed to and will continue to support non-profit organizations in the communities we serve.

For our shareholders and regulators:

Maintained our capital ratios at strong levels and materially increased our provision for loan losses to $4.1 million for the first nine months of 2020, compared to $669,000 for all of 2019.

Increased on balance sheet liquidity, specifically Cash and Cash Equivalents increased by $3.3 million, a 6.9% increase over December 31, 2019. The investment portfolio, a secondary source of liquidity, increased by $53.5 million, or 17.0%, as well.

On March 23, 2020, the State of Washington announced the Stay Home, Stay Healthy order for all residents, resulting in the closing of businesses or a substantial reduction in business activity. Conditions have since improved in most of the counties within our footprint allowing many businesses to expand services or reopen under current guidelines. The sectors that continue to be most heavily impacted include hospitality; restaurant and food services; and lessors of commercial real estate to hospitality, restaurant, and retail establishments. At September 30, 2020, the Company’s exposure as a percent of the total loan portfolio to these industries was 4.9%, 0.2%, and 4.6%, respectively.

37


The Company worked with a number of loan customers on loan deferral and forbearance plans. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had granted payment deferral plans on 346 loans totaling $174.9 million compared to 297 loans totaling $128.4 million as of June 30, 2020. These modifications were not classified as TDRs at September 30, 2020, in accordance with the guidance of the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance. The Company is continuing to work on forbearance plans with customers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. For additional information on COVID-19 deferrals, see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."

During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we provided assistance to many small businesses through the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program. This program provides small businesses with funds to pay up to eight weeks of payroll costs including benefits. A portion of the funds can also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities. On June 5, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act ("PPPFA") was enacted. Main provisions of the PPPFA extended the repayment period from two to five years, extended the covered expense period from eight to 24 weeks, and lowered the percent of forgiveness amount required to be used for eligible payroll costs to 60%. The PPPFA also extends the repayment start date until after the SBA finalizes the application process for loan forgiveness.

We processed $32.2 million of loans for 515 customers through the SBA PPP program as of September 30, 2020. The average loan amount approved was approximately $63,000. Payments by borrowers on these loans begin six months after the note date, and interest, at 1%, will continue to accrue during the six-month deferment. 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.

Loan processing fees paid to the Bank from the SBA of 5% on loans of $350,000 or less, 3% on loans of more than $350,000 but less than $2.0 million, and 1% for loans of $2.0 million or more are accounted for as loan origination fees. Net deferred fees are recognized over the life of the loan, or two years, as a yield adjustment on the loans. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had received $1.4 million in processing fees. When a loan is paid off or forgiven by the SBA prior to its maturity date, the remaining unamortized deferred fees will be recognized in interest income at that time. At such time that any of these loans are forgiven or repaid before the scheduled maturity, we expect an increase in interest income and the net interest margin during that period.

Critical Accounting Policies


There are no 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, 2018.2019.

Commercial real estate loans stayed relatively stable.increased by $27.6 million as we continue to build our lending presence in King and Whatcom Counties as well as continued lending in our legacy markets. Commercial business loans increased $81.4 million as we funded PPP loans and increased balances generated through the Northpointe Bank Mortgage Participation Program (NBMPP) during 2020. The NBMPP provides interim financing to mortgage originators based on the contractual sale agreement of a mortgage loan. We are also attracting new commercial business clients due to our hiring efforts and investment into customer focused, experienced commercial bankers. Auto and other consumer and construction and land loans increased $24.0 million and $10.9 million, respectively, as we continued to grow our specialty auto loan portfolio and construction lending business. Strong competitiondecreased $337,000. Competition for quality commercial credits remains,remains; however, impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic effect both the supply and an increase in refinancedemand for credit. Refinance activity of one- to-four family residential loans was observedrobust during the nine-month period.


Construction and land loans increased 20.1%$38.0 million, or 102.2%, to $65.0$75.2 million at September 30, 2019,2020, from $54.1$37.2 million at December 31, 2018.2019. The majority of our construction loans are geographically dispersed throughout the Puget Sound region and, as a result, these loans are susceptible to risks that may be differentvary depending on the nature and location of the project. We manage our construction lending by utilizing a licensed third-party vendor to assist us in monitoring our construction projects and intend to begin utilizing internal staffing to monitor certain projects, which we expect will enhance fee income related to these loans.


In March 2020, the vast majority of construction projects in Washington State were put on hold as a result of Governor Jay Inslee’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order. By June 30, 2020, most projects were able to restart under specific criteria. We continue to monitor the projects currently in our portfolio to determine the impact of COVID-19 on completion. As of this point in time, we have no reason to believe that any of the projects in process will not be completed.

We monitor real estate values and general economic conditions in our market areas, in addition to assessing the strength of our borrowers, in order to prudently underwrite construction loans. We have seen a slowingFor the majority of 2019, we decreased our construction lending, which has resulted in a decline in construction commitments. Whilebalances at the end of the year compared to 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first nine months of 2020, we continue to focus onincreased production in construction loan origination activity, we may see a decline in outstanding construction loan balances over time if we are unable to source quality construction loans to replace completed projects.lending and our commitments increased accordingly. We continually assess our lending strategies across all product lines and markets within which we do business in order to improve our earnings potential over time while also prudently managing credit risk. We also intend to evaluate opportunities to grow loans through wholesale channels in order to supplement our organic originations and improve net interest income.

Gain on sale of investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2020, totaled $2.2 million compared to $57,000 recognized in the first nine months of 2019. The increasecash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance increased $1.1 million in noninterest income was mainly the resultfirst nine months of an increase2020 due to a BOLI restructure that resulted in loan and deposit service fees related to the early prepaymentrecognition of commercial and multi-family real estate loans,market gains as well as an increaseadditional investment in deposit fees related to changes in our deposit account offerings. We also saw an increase in net gain on sale of loans, mainly the result of the sale of a pool of one- to four-family residential loans.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $196,000,increased $5.2 million, or 0.8%21.4%, to $29.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $24.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $24.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily as a result of a decreasean increase in advertising costs, compensation and benefits professional fees, and FDIC insurance premium, partially offset by an increase in FHLB prepayment penalties and regulatory assessments and state taxes. We received a $441,000 credit from our health insurance carrier as a result of a lower than anticipated claims experience level during the most recent plan year, $391,000 of which partially offset compensation and benefits expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and $50,000 of which is being held for the benefit of our employees to help offset the burden of future insurance premium increases. Advertising expenses were lower as a result of a combination of advertising expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, related to the opening of our Bainbridge Island branch that were not incurred during the same period in 2019, as well as managing the determinationoccupancy and timing of advertisingequipment as we added staff to generate revenue. Compensation and promotional expenses for the current year. The Bank receivedbenefits also increased due to an FDIC insurance Small Bank Assessment Credit of $268,000 during the quarter, which resulted$1.6 million increase in commissions paid on increased mortgage and commercial loan production as well as one-time pandemic related payments made to staff. We also incurred a recapture of FDIC insurance premiums recorded last quarter and no premium expense recorded in the current quarter. We expect the Small Bank Assessment Credit to offset FDIC insurance premiums in Q4 of 2019 and provide a partial credit for Q1 2020 premiums. With the gain on sale of the one- to four-family loan pool during the most recent quarter, we repaid $15.0 million ofone-time FHLB advances, incurring a prepayment penalty in orderof $210,000 as we retired long term debt to lower our future cost of borrowings and better position our netreduced interest margin in future periods. We incurred costs related to our most recent examination of the Department of Financial Institutions of the State of Washington and have paid increased state taxes on higher gross revenues, resulting in an increase in regulatory assessments and state taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018. We also had additional expenses related to our CEO search and transition which were included in professional fees.

Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields/Cost

The following table set forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income from average interest‑earninginterest-earning assets and interest expense on average interest‑bearinginterest-bearing liabilities, resultant yields, interest rate spread, net interest margin (otherwise known as net yield on interest‑earninginterest-earning assets), and the ratio of average interest‑earninginterest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities. Also presented is the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets, rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant spread at September 30, 20192020 and 2018.2019. Income and all average balances are monthly average balances, which management deems to be not materially different than daily averages. NonaccruingNonaccrual loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

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 Federal 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 months ended September 30, 20192020 and the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, 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 securities. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2019,2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled $56.5$52.1 million, and unpledged securities classified as available-for-sale with a market value of $251.2$281.9 million provided additional sources of liquidity. We pledged collateral to support borrowings from the FHLB of $85.3$267.4 million and have an established borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, for which no collateral has beenavailable-for-sale securities with a market value of $29.4 million were pledged as of September 30, 2019.


2020.

At September 30, 2019,2020, we had $685,000$10.5 million in loan commitments outstanding, and an additional $76.2$149.0 million in undisbursed loans and standby letters of credit, including $38.7$97.8 million in undisbursed construction loan commitments.

Certificates of deposit due within one year as of September 30, 20192020 totaled $214.4$190.6 million, or 76.8%64.9% of certificates of deposit.deposit with a weighted-average rate of 0.73%. 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 begun to rise. In addition, shorter-term rates are more favorable to longer terms with the current flat to inverted yield curve.recently declined. 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.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 affordprovide us sufficient foreseeablemore 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 to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations. At September 30, 2019,2020, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $19.2$9.6 million.


Capital Resources

At September 30, 2019,2020, shareholders' equity totaled $177.3$180.7 million, or 14.2%11.5% of total assets. Our book value per share of common stock was $16.42$17.65 at September 30, 2019,2020, compared to $15.42$16.48 at December 31, 2018. Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy for First Federal is to maintain its “well-capitalized” status in accordance with regulatory standards.


2019.

At September 30, 2019,2020, 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 Federal at September 30, 2019.

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 most industrial companies, 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, 2018.

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, 2019,2020, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company inthe 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, 2019,2020, 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.

The disclosures below supplement the risk factors set forth inpreviously disclosed under Part I. Item 1A of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.


2019.

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

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly 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 as customers are unable to repay loans and meet their obligations, as well as adversely impact our earnings. We believe our strong capital position will be important in managing through the unknown impact of the pandemic.

Item 5. Other Information

COVID-19 Legislation and Regulation.

General. Governments at the federal, state, and local levels continue to take steps to address the impact of the COVID-19 emergency. On March 27, 2020 the President signed into law the historic $2
trillion federal stimulus package known as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which included $350 billion in stimulus for small businesses under the so-called “Paycheck Protection Program,” along with direct stimulus payments (i.e., “economic impact payments” or “stimulus checks”) for many eligible Americans. The initial amounts available under the Paycheck Protection Program were quickly exhausted in less than two weeks, which prompted Congress to negotiate additional funding. On April 24, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enforcement Act was signed into law to replenish funding to the Paycheck Protection Program and to provide other spending for hospitals and virus testing. Further, on July 3, 2020 the President extended the deadline for potential borrowers to apply for Paycheck Protection Program funds until August 8, 2020. The legislative and regulatory landscape surrounding COVID-19 is rapidly changing, and neither the Company nor the Bank can predict with certainty the impact it will have on our operations or business.
