NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements of The Community Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned active subsidiary, Community Bank of the Chesapeake (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Community Mortgage Corporation of Tri-County, included herein are unaudited..
The Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Management believes that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The balances as of December 31, 2020 have been derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements.consolidated financial statements. Additions to the Company’s accounting policies are disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report as well as the adoption of new accounting standards included in Note 1. The results of operations for the threenine months March 31,September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the remainder of the year or any other period.
These Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Reclassification
Certain items in prior Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Nature of Operations
The Company provides financial services to individuals and businesses through its offices in Southern Maryland, and Fredericksburg, Virginia. Its primary deposit products are demand, savings and time deposits, and its primary lending products are commercial and residential mortgage loans, commercial loans, construction and land development loans, home equity and second mortgages and commercial equipment loans.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements and the reported amount of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses ("ALLL"), real estate acquired in the settlement of loans ("OREO"), fair value of financial instruments, fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination, evaluating other-than-temporary-impairment ("OTTI") of investment securities and valuation of deferred tax assets.
COVID-19
The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were issued. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted many of the Company's customers and impaired their abilities to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company.obligations. In response to the likely effects on the economy of the pandemic, the Federal Open Market Committee reduced the federal funds rate from a target range of 1.50% to 1.75% to a target range of 0% to 0.25%. These reductions in interest rates along with the other effects of the COVID-19 outbreak may adversely affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Please refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis for further discussion.

COVID-19 Deferrals
On March 22, 2020, federal banking regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, ("the agencies") issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by the Coronavirus. The interagency statement impacted accounting for loan modifications. Under Accounting Standards Codification 310-40, "Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors," ("ASC 310-40"), a restructuring of debt constitutes a troubled debt restructure ("TDR") if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers, who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers consideredUnder current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. Under the March 22, 2020 interagency statement loanlaw modifications were required to be executed between March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (A) 60 days after the date of termination of the National Emergency or (B) December 31, 2020. The Consolidated Appropriations Act that was signed into law on December 27, 2020 extended the loan modification date to the earlier of (A) January 1, 2022 or (B) 60 days after the date on which the national COVID-19 emergency terminates. ThisThe impacts of the interagency guidance is expectedare further described in the consolidated financial statements, notes to have a material impactconsolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of this Form 10Q and the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company offered payment deferral programs for its customers who were adversely affected by the pandemic. Depending on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.need of the client, the Company deferred full or partial loan payments up to 180 days. Interest and fees accrued to income, until the loan is placed in nonaccrual status, at which time interest income and fees accrued would be reversed. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $3.4 million and $35.4 million of loan deferrals, respectively.
Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, borrowers who were making payments as required and were not considered past due prior to becoming affected by COVID-19 and then receive payment accommodations as a result of the effects of COVID-19 generally would not be reported as past due or nonaccrual for regulatory and financial reporting during the accommodationdeferral period. Consistent with regulatory guidance, ifIf new information during the deferral period indicates that there is evidence of default, the Bank maywill change the classification rating (e.g., change from passing credit to substandard) and accrual status (e.g., change from accrual to non-accrual status) as deemed appropriate.
In keeping with regulatory guidance to work with borrowers as outlined in the CARES Act, the Company offered payment deferral programs for its business and individual customers who were adversely affected by the pandemic. Generally, depending on the demonstrated need of the client, the Company deferred either the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment between 90 and 180 days. While interest and fees will still accrue to income, should eventual credit losses on these deferred payments emerge or if a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest income and fees accrued would be reversed. Given the ongoing uncertainty regarding the length and economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis and the effects of various government stimulus programs, the estimated number and dollar impact of loan deferrals the Company could execute is subject to change. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $23.1 million and $35.4 million of loan deferrals, respectively, which represented 1.53% and 2.35% of gross portfolio loans, respectively.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU No. 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace the current “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, will apply to: (1) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (2) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes but is not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. The ASU also simplifies the accounting model for purchase credit impaired (“PCI”) debt securities and loans. ASU 2016-13 also expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the ALLL.Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL"). In addition, entities will need to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach).

The Company is planning for CECL adoption. Our CECL model has formed a CECL committee with representatives from various departments. The committee has selected a third-party vendor solution to assist in the applicationbeen substantially developed and our third party model validation is substantially complete. We are conducting parallel runs of the ASU 2016-13. The committee continues to make progress in accordance with the Company's plan for adoption. The Company has developed new expected credit loss estimation models depending on the nature of each identified pool of financial assets with similar risk characteristics, and is currently reviewing and analyzing the different methodologies to estimate expected credit losses. The Company is also working on documenting new processes and controls, challenging estimated credit loss model assumptions and outputs,throughout 2021. We are refining the qualitative framework as well as drafting policiescomponents and disclosures. Additionally, parallel runs will be enhanced throughout 2021 as the processes, controls, and policies are finalized. The adoptionforecasting components of the ASU 2016-13 could result in an increase or decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model to an “expected loss”our model. Furthermore, ASU 2016-13 will necessitatealso require the establishment of an allowance for expected credit losses for certain debt securities and other financial assets.

ASU 2019-04 - In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-4 which codifies improvements to Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Financial Instruments (Topic 825). With respect to Topic 326, ASU 2019-04 clarifies the scope of the credit losses standard and addresses issues related to accrued interest receivable balances, recoveries, variable interest rates and prepayments, among other things. With respect to Topic 825, ASU 2019-04 clarifies the scope of the guidance for recognizing and measuring financial instruments, the requirement for remeasurement under ASC 820 when using the measurement alternative, which equity securities have to be remeasured at historical exchange rates, and certain disclosure requirements. The amendments to Topic 326 have the same effective dates as ASU 2016-13. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of Topic 326 amendments on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The amendments to Topic 825 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.Contents

ASU 2019-05 - Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05. This ASU allows entities to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option for financial instruments that (1) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (2) are within the scope of ASC 326-20 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2019-05 upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 unless an earlier adoption is permitted in an accounting update. The Company is evaluating the impact of electing the fair value option of ASU 2019-05 on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2020-02 - Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842). In February 2020, the FASB issued guidance to add and amend SEC paragraphs in the Accounting Standards Codification to reflect the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 related to the new credit losses standard and comments by the SEC staff related to the revised effective date of the new leases standard. The amendments were effective upon issuance. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance to provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.consolidated financial statements.

During periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest cost to the borrower. The Bank’s adjustable rate residential first mortgage portfolio was $27.9 million or 1.9% of total gross portfolio loans of $1.5 billion at March 31, 2021 compared to $33.6 million or 2.2% of total gross portfolio loans of $1.5 billion at December 31, 2020.
The Bank generally retains the right to service loans sold for a payment based upon a percentage (generally 0.25% of the outstanding loan balance). As of March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank serviced $21.5$18.7 million and $23.9 million, respectively, in residential mortgage loans for others.

During periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest cost to the borrower.

Loans secured by residential rental properties involve greater risks than 1-4 family residential mortgage loans. Although, there are similar risk characteristics shared with commercial real estate loans, the balances for the loans secured by residential rental properties are generally smaller. Payments on loans secured by residential rental properties are dependent on the successful operation of the properties; and repayment of these loans may be subject to more volatile conditions in the rental real estate market or the economy than similar owner-occupied properties.
At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the largest outstanding residential rental mortgage loan was $9.5 million which was secured by over 120 single family homes located in the Bank’s market area. The loan was performing according to its terms.

In addition, volatility in the real estate market can make it difficult to ensure that the valuation of land associated with these loans is accurate. Duringalso dependent on the borrower’s ability to successfully manage the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost overruns. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to complete development. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, a project’s value might be insufficient to assure full repayment. As a result of these factors, construction lending often involves the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the project rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and interest. If the Bank forecloses on a project, there can be no assurance that the Bank will be able to recover all of the unpaid balance of principal, accrued interest, and related foreclosure and holding costs.development activities.

U.S. SBA PPP Loans
The U.S. SBA PPP loan was created to address economic hardships resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had originated 865 U.S. SBA PPP loans with balances of $115.7 million. The program is designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll. SBA will forgive loans if all employee retention criteria are met, and the funds are used for eligible expenses. U.S. SBA PPP loans carry a two or five-year term at a 1% annual interest rate until the loan is either forgiven or paid. At March 31, 2021, 52.61% or $60.9 million of these loans have a two-year term.
No credit issues are anticipated with U.S. SBA PPP loans as they are fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration and the Bank's ALLL does not include an allowance for U.S. SBA PPP loans. Management believes all U.S. SBA PPP loans were underwritten in accordance with the program's guidelines. The U.S. SBA PPP guidelines indicate that lenders may rely on certifications of the borrower in order to determine eligibility and to rely on specified documents provided by the borrower to determine qualifying loan amount and eligibility for forgiveness. The guidelines further specify that lenders will be held harmless for a borrower's failure to comply with program criteria.

The Company considers a loan to be past due or delinquent when the terms of the contractual obligation are not met by the borrower. PCIPurchase Credit Impaired ("PCI") loans are included as a single category in the table below as management believes there is a lower likelihood of aggregate loss related to these loan pools. Additionally, PCI loans are discounted to allow for the accretion of income on a level yield basis over the life of the loan based on expected cash flows. Regardless of payment status, as long as cash flows can be reasonably estimated, the associated discount on these loan pools results in income recognition.

A risk-grading scale is used to assign grades to commercial relationships, which include commercial real estate, residential rentals, construction and land development, commercial loans and commercial equipment loans. LoansCommercial loan relationships are graded at inception annually thereafter when financial statements are received and at other times when there is an indication that a credit may have weakened or improved.minimum annually. At December 31, 2020 and prior, only commercial loan relationships with an aggregate exposure to the Bank of $1,000,000 or greater were subject to being risk rated. During the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2021, the Bank's policy was amended to risk rate all commercial loan relationships.
Home equity, and second mortgages, and consumer loans, and residential first mortgages are evaluated for creditworthiness in underwriting and are monitored based on borrower payment history. Residential first mortgages are evaluated for creditworthiness during credit due diligence before being purchased. Residential first mortgages, home equity and second mortgages and consumer loans are classified as unrated unless they are part of a larger commercial relationship that requires grading or are TDRs or nonperforming loans with an Other Assets Especially Mentioned ("OAEM") or higher risk rating due to a delinquency payment history.rating.
Management regularly reviews credit quality indicators as part of its individual loan reviews and on a quarterly basis. The overall quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio is assessed using the Bank’s risk-grading scale, the level and trends of net charge-offs, nonperforming loans and delinquencies, the performance of TDRs and the general economic conditions in the Company’s geographical market. This review process is assisted by frequent internal reporting of loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and potential problem loans. Credit quality indicators and allowance factors are adjusted based on management’s judgment during the monthly and quarterly review process.indicators. Loans subject to risk ratings are graded on a scale of one to ten. The Company considers loans rated substandard, doubtful and loss as classified assets for regulatory and financial reporting.
Ratings 1 thru 6 - Pass
Ratings 1 thru 6 have asset risks ranging from excellent-low to adequate. The specific rating assigned considers customer history of earnings, cash flows, liquidity, leverage, capitalization, consistency of debt service coverage, the nature and extent of customer relationship and other relevant specific business factors such as the stability Loans rated pass display none of the industry or market area, changes to management, litigation or unexpected events that could have an impact on risks.characteristics of classified loans.

If uncorrected these weaknesses may result in deterioration of the borrowers, guarantorsrepayment prospects or collateral have reduced quality due to economic conditions, less than adequate earnings performance or other factors which require the lending officer to direct more than normal attention to the credit.

Substandard assets are assets that areA substandard loan is inadequately protected by the soundcurrent net worth or payingand payment capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. Substandard loans are the first adverselyLoans classified loans on the Bank's watchlist. These assetsas substandard have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. TheyThese loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain someof loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified substandard. The loans may have a delinquent history or combination of weak collateral, weak guarantor strength or operating losses. When a loan is assigned to this category the Bank may estimate a specific reserve in the loan loss allowance analysis. These assets listed may include assets with histories of repossessions or some that are non-performing bankruptcies. These relationships will be reviewed at least quarterly.

Rating 10 – Loss
Once an asset is identified as a definite loss to the Bank, it will receive the classification of “loss.” There may be some future potential recovery; however, it is more practical to write off the loan at the time of classification. Losses will be taken in the period in which they are determined to be non-collectable.

Purchased Credit-ImpairedPCI Loans and Acquired Loans ("PCI")
PCI loans had an unpaid principal balance of $2.3$1.4 million and a carrying value of $2.0$1.1 million at March 31, 2021. The carrying value of PCI loans represented 0.09% of total assets at March 31,September 30, 2021. Determining the fair value of the PCI loans at the time of acquisition required the Company to estimate cash flows expected to result from those loans and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest considering prepayment assumptions. For such loans, the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans and is called accretable yield. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition reflects the impact of estimated credit losses and is called the nonaccretable difference. In accordance with GAAP, there was no carryover of a previously established allowance for loan losses from acquisition.
A summary of changes in the accretable yield for PCI loans for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2020 follows:

At March 31,September 30, 2021 performing acquired loans, which totaled $55.4$49.3 million, included a $0.7$0.5 million net acquisition accounting fair market value adjustment, representing a 1.22%1.09% discount; and PCI loans which totaled $2.0$1.1 million, included a $0.3 million adjustment, representing a 14.24%20.59% discount. At December 31, 2020 acquired performing loans, which totaled $59.0 million, included aan $0.8 million net acquisition accounting fair market value adjustment, representing a 1.25% discount; and PCI loans which totaled $2.0 million, included a $0.3 million adjustment, representing a 14.95% discount.
During the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020 there was $90,000$91,000 and $0.2$0.1 million, respectively, of accretion interest.
Accounting standards require a periodic recast of the expected cash flows on the PCI loan portfolio. The recast was performed during the fourthsecond quarter of 2021 and 2020 which resulted in a reclassification of $0.5 million,$37,000, net of PCI impairment, and $24,000, respectively, from the credit (nonaccretable) portion of the discount to the liquidity (accretable) portion of the discount.

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company did not have impairment to goodwill or core deposit intangibles ("CDI"). At March 31, 2021 the Company had goodwill of $10.8 million or 5.40% of equity and CDI of $1.4 million or 0.69% of equity.
In the third quarter of 2020, management determined that the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the banking industry, was deemed a triggering event that required an interim impairment test for goodwill. Management engaged an independent consultant to perform a quantitative goodwill and CDI impairment analysis for the Company's single reporting unit, the Bank, as of September 15, 2020 ("the measurement date"). The impairment analysis used both market and income valuation approaches. The market approach analyzed transaction and control premium information for the Company and a selected peer group. The income approach analyzed discounted cash flows. The results of the methods were weighted to determine an overall value. Significant estimates and assumptions included, but were not limited to, projected profitability ratios, discount rates, cash flows projections selection and evaluation and selection of control premiums in appropriate market transactions and selection of peers.
In accordance with the Bank's policy, managementManagement performed its annual analysesanalysis of goodwill and CDI during the fourth quarter of 2020 and concluded that there was 0no impairment at December 31, 2020. At March 31,September 30, 2021, management's analysis concluded that there were no changes in the Company's financial statements or operations subsequent to the measurement date and the fourth quarter 2020 annual analysesanalysis that would indicate that it was more likely than not that goodwill or CDI was impaired.
It is possible that the length and severity of the COVID-19 crisis could cause the Company's goodwill or CDI to become impaired in future periods due to a sustained decline in the Company's stock price or other financial or qualitative measures. In the event that the Company concludes that all or a portion of its goodwill and CDI are impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings in that quarter. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital.

Operating Leases
The Company's operating lease agreements are primarily for leases of branches and office space. All of these leases are classified as operating leases, and therefore, were previously not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. With the adoption of Topic 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as a right-of-use-asset with a corresponding lease liability.
The table below details the Right of Use asset (net of accumulated amortization), lease liability and other information related to the Company's operating leases:

NOTE 8 – GUARANTEED PREFERRED BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES (“TRUPs”)
On June 15, 2005, Tri-County Capital Trust II (“Capital Trust II”), a Delaware business trust formed, funded and wholly-owned by the Company, issued $5.0 million of variable-rate capital securities in a private pooled transaction. The variable rate is based on the 90-day LIBOR rate plus 1.70%. The Trust used the proceeds from this issuance, along with the $0.2 million for Capital Trust II’s common securities, to purchase $5.2 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The interest rate on the debentures and the trust preferred securities is variable and adjusts quarterly. These capital securities qualify as Tier I capital and are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in Junior Subordinated Debentures.” Both the capital securities of Capital Trust II and the junior subordinated debentures are scheduled to mature on June 15, 2035, unless called by the Company.
On July 22, 2004, Tri-County Capital Trust I (“Capital Trust I”), a Delaware business trust formed, funded and wholly owned by the Company, issued $7.0 million of variable-rate capital securities in a private pooled transaction. The variable rate is based on the 90-day LIBOR rate plus 2.60%. The Trust used the proceeds from this issuance, along with the Company’s $0.2 million capital contribution for Capital Trust I’s common securities, to purchase $7.2 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The interest rate on the debentures and the trust preferred securities is variable and adjusts quarterly. These debentures qualify as Tier I capital and are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in Junior Subordinated Debentures.” Both the capital securities of Capital Trust I and the junior subordinated debentures are scheduled to mature on July 22, 2034, unless called by the Company.

NOTE 10 – REGULATORY CAPITAL
The Bank’s primary regulator is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and regular examination by the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation (the “Commissioner”) and the FDIC. The Company is subject to regulation, examination, and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”).
The Company and Bank are subject to the Basel III Capital Rules which establish a comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The rules implement the Basel Committee’s “Basel III” framework for strengthening international capital standards as well as certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Basel III Capital Rules define the components of capital and address other issues affecting the numerator in banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios. The Basel III Capital Rules also address risk weights and other issues affecting the denominator in banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios and replace the existing risk-weighting approach with a more risk-sensitive approach. The Basel III Capital Rules also implement the requirements of Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act to remove references to credit ratings from the federal banking agencies’ rules.

The rules include a common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets minimum ratio of 4.50%, a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0%, require a minimum ratio (“Min. Ratio”) of Total Capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, and require a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. A capital conservation buffer (“CCB”) is also established above the regulatory minimum capital requirements. Strict eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments were also implemented under the rules. The rules revised the definition and calculation of Tier 1 capital, Total Capital, and risk-weighted assets.
On April 13, 2020, the regulatory agencies published an interim final rule, which permits banking organizations to exclude from regulatory capital requirements U.S. SBA PPP covered loans pledged under the PPPLF. The interim final rule also clarifies that U.S. SBA PPP covered loans as defined in section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 636(a)(36)) receive a zero percent risk weight.
The interim final rule modifies the agencies’ capital rule and allows PPPLF-eligible banking organizations to neutralize the regulatory effects of U.S. SBA PPP covered loans on their risk-based capital ratios, as well as U.S. SBA PPP covered loans pledged under the PPPLF on their leverage capital ratios. When calculating leverage capital ratios, a banking organization may exclude from average total consolidated assets and, as applicable, total leverage exposure a U.S. SBA PPP covered loan as of the date that it has been pledged under the PPPLF. Accordingly, a U.S. SBA PPP covered loan that has not been pledged as collateral in connection with an extension of credit under the PPPLF would be included in the calculation of the banking organization’s average total consolidated assets and, as applicable, total leverage exposure. On November 30, 2020, the Federal Reserve Board and U.S. Department of Treasury jointly announced the extension of the PPPLF facility to March 31, 2021.
As of March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company and Bank were well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action ("PCA") under the new Basel III Capital Rules.Rule and Management believes as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.requirements. The Company’s and the Bank’s actual regulatory capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements” and FASB ASC Topic 825, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under U.S. GAAP. FASB ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, AFS investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans).
FASB ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. AFS securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis such as loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
Under FASB ASC Topic 820, the Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine the fair value. These hierarchy levels are:
Level 1 inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company’s quarterly valuation process. Intra-quarter transfers in and out of level 3 assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are disclosed. There were no such transfers during the quarterthree and six months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 or the year ended December 31, 2020.
Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:
Securities Available for Sale
AFS investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Standard inputs include quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities (“GSEs”),GSEs, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.
3129

Table of Contents
Equity Securities Carried at Fair Value Through Income
Equity securities carried at fair value through income are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Standard inputs include quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 equity securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 2 equity securities include mutual funds with asset-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities (“GSEs”)GSEs as the underlying investment supporting the fund. Equity securities classified as Level 3 include mutual funds with asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.
Loans Receivable
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis; however, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan are considered impaired. Management estimates the fair value of impaired loans using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, or discounted cash flows. Impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance are those for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, substantially all of the impaired loans were evaluated based uponon the fair value of the collateral.
In accordance with FASB ASC 820, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral (loans with impairment) require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price (e.g., contracted sales price), the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When the fair value of the impaired loan is derived from an appraisal, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 3. Fair value is re-assessed at least quarterly or more frequently when circumstances occur that indicate a change in the fair value. The fair values of impaired loans that are not measured based on collateral values are measured using discounted cash flows and considered to be Level 3 inputs.
Premises and Equipment Held for Sale
Premises and equipment are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the assets to premises and equipment held for sale. Subsequently, premises and equipment held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management's estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price (e.g., contracted sales price), the Company records the asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When the fair value of premises and equipment is derived from an appraisal or a cash flow analysis, the Company records the asset as nonrecurring Level 3.
Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO")
OREO is adjusted for fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, OREO is reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based on independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price (e.g., contracted sales price), the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When the fair value is derived from an appraisal, the Company records the foreclosed asset at nonrecurring Level 3.

NOTE 12 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments require disclosure of fair value information, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets when it is practical to estimate the fair value. A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or a contractual obligation which requires the exchange of cash. Certain items are specifically excluded from the financial instrument fair value disclosure requirements, including the Company’s common stock, OREO, premises and equipment and other assets and liabilities.
The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Therefore, any aggregate unrealized gains or losses should not be interpreted as a forecast of future earnings or cash flows. Furthermore, the fair values disclosed should not be interpreted as the aggregate current value of the Company.
The Company’s estimated fair values of financial instruments are presented in the following tables.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Statements included in management’s discussion and analysis include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures and believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider the Company’s performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. See Non-GAAP reconciliation schedules that immediately follow:

The ROACE is a financial ratio that measures the profitability of a company in relation to the average shareholders' equity. This financial metric is expressed in the form of a percentage which is equal to net income after tax divided by the average shareholders' equity for a specific period of time.

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity ("ROATCE")
Management believes that PTPP income, which reflects the Company's profitability before income taxes and loan loss provisions, allows investors to better assess the Company's operating income and expenses in relation to the Company's core operating revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with credit provisions and different state income tax rates for comparable institutions. ROATCE is computed by dividing net earnings applicable to common shareholders by average tangible common shareholders' equity. Management believes that ROATCE is meaningful because it measures the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or internally developed. ROATCE is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Management also believes that during a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic, this information is useful as the impact

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that involve significant judgments and uncertainties and could result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company considers its determination of the allowance for loan losses ("ALLL"), goodwill impairment, the valuation of foreclosed real estate (OREO) and the valuation of deferred tax assets to be critical accounting policies. The Company believes that the most critical accounting policies upon which its financial condition and results of operation depend, and which involve the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, are included in the discussion entitled "Critical Accounting Policies" in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC.

OVERVIEW
Community Bank of the Chesapeake (the “Bank”) is headquartered in Southern Maryland with 11 branches located in Maryland and Virginia. The Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Community Financial Corporation (the “Company”). The Company provides financial services to individuals and businesses through its offices in Southern Maryland and Fredericksburg, Virginia. Its primary deposit products are demand, savings and time deposits, and its primary lending products are commercial and residential mortgage loans, commercial loans, construction and land development loans, home equity and second mortgages and commercial equipment loans.
Our customer focus is to serve small and medium sized commercial businesses as well as local municipal agencies and not-for-profits. Relationship teams provide customers with specific banker contacts and a support team to address product and service demands. The Bank believes that itsWe believe our ability to offer fast, flexible, local decision-making will continue to attract significant new business relationships. Our structure provides a consistent and superior level of professional service and excelling at customer service is a critical part of our culture. The Bank’s marketing is directed towards increasing its balances of transactional deposit accounts. The Bank believes that increases in these account types will lessen the Bank’s dependence on higher-cost funding, such as certificates of deposit and borrowings.

The Company’s income is primarily earned from interest received on its loans and investments. The Company's primary source of funds for making these loans and investments is its deposits. One of the key measures of the Company's success is its net interest income, or the difference between the income on its interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the expense on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Another key measure is the spread between the yield the Company earns on these interest-earning assets and the rate the Company pays on interest-bearing liabilities, which is called net interest spread. In addition to earning interest on loans and investments, the Company earns income through fees and other charges for services to clients.

The Company's sale of these impaired loans decreased the specific ALLL reserve, improved asset quality and improved several ALLL qualitative factors. Non-accrual loans, OREO and TDRs to total assets decreased 77 basis points to 0.31% at September 30, 2021 from 1.08% at December 31, 2020.

Fluctuations in net interest income can result from the combination of changes in the average balances of asset and liability categories and changes in interest rates. Interest rates earned and paid are affected by general economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and by competitive factors, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. In response to the potential effects on the economy of the pandemic, the Federal Open Market Committee reduced the federal funds interest rate from a target range of 1.50% to 1.75% to a target range of 0.00% to 0.25% during 2020, where it remained as of March 31, 2021.
Net interest income increased $2.16 million or 15.0% for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily from significant decreases in interest expense from lower funding costs.costs as well as volume increases in interest-earning assets. Interest income decreased from significantly lower asset yields partially offset by increased interest income from larger average balances and accelerated loan fee recognition following the forgiveness of U.S. SBA PPP loans.loans, partially offset by lower asset yields from virtually all interest-earnings assets. Interest income increased $1.5 million from acceleration of net deferred fee recognition upon the forgiveness ofCompany's participation in the U.S. SBA PPP loansprogram was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 as compared to none$0.9 million for the comparable quarter in 2020.

The sharp decline in interest rates in 2020 and 2021 not only reduced interest income on floating-rate commercial loans and liquid interest-earning assets and investments, but it also reduced competitive pressures and depositor expectations concerning deposit interest rates. In 2020, the Company increased itsThe flat net interest margin infor the first quarter, had stable margins during the second and third quarters and slightly increased margins during the fourth quarter of 2020 after adjustingcomparable periods was due to similar rate declines for U.S. SBA PPP loanasset yields and funding activity.costs.
The increase in net interest margin from the first quarter of 2020 resulted primarily from the Company’s overall funding costs decreasing at a faster rate than interest earning asset yields. The Company’s costCost of funds decreased 67 basis points from 0.93%0.46% for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 to 0.25%0.21% for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021. The Company’sBank's cost of funds continuedin 2021 decreased due to decrease during the first quarter of 2021. The prepaymentprepayments of $30.0 million of FHLB advances with a 2.2% average rate in the last six months of 2020, the repricing of time deposits, the increase in non-interest bearing accounts as a percentage of total deposits and lower costs for transaction deposit accounts all contributed to loweringaccounts. These decreases in the Bank's cost of funds were partially offset by interest related to the prepayment of $15.0 million of FHLB advances in 2020late September 2021 and 2021. Interest earning asset yields decreased 56 basis points from 4.31% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to 3.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.issuance of $20.0 million in subordinated notes in October 2020.
For the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, net interest margin increased 1813 basis points as a result of net U.S. SBA PPP loan interest income and accelerated loan fee recognition. The Bank began funding U.S. SBA PPP loans in the second quarter of 2020 so there was no impact on net interest margin for the first quarter of 2020. Loan yields decreasedincreased from 4.56%4.06% for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 to 4.17%4.16% for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021.

Excluding the acceleration of deferred fees into interest income with U.S. SBA PPP loan forgiveness, compression of our net interest margin is probablelikely in the secondfourth quarter of 2021 as interest-earning assets reprice faster thanlower and the Bank continues to invest excess liquidity into securities. Average investments and interest-bearing liabilities.cash accounts have increased $196.8 million from $256.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 to $453.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. We expect U.S. SBA PPP loan forgiveness to positively impact margins and net interest income in the second and third quartersfourth quarter of 2021 with the recognition of remaining net deferred fees.

Table of Contents
Noninterest expense was flat for the comparable periods as increased compensation and benefits and other expenses were offset by decreased OREO expenses, FDIC insurance and data processing. Compensation and benefits increased for the comparable periods primarily due to increased health insurance claims as well as larger incentive compensation accruals resulting from improvements in profitability and asset quality. In addition, no costs were deferred for the origination of U.S. SBA PPP loans in third quarter of 2021 compared with the deferral of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2020. The FDIC insurance decreased due to improved balance sheet credit trends. Decreased OREO expenses reflect management's actions in 2021 and 2020 to reduce non-performing assets. Data processing costs decreased for the comparable periods due to the timing of scheduled projects as well as a reduction related to PPP loan processing costs incurred during 2020 that were not incurred in 2021.
The Company’s efficiency ratio was 52.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 55.48% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company’s net operating expense ratio was 1.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 1.50% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The efficiency and net operating expense ratios have improved (decreased) as the Company has been able to generate more noninterest income while controlling expense growth.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense increased $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same quarter in the prior year. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 the effective tax rate was 25.2%. The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was a 25.3% in the third quarter of 2020.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020
Earnings Summary
The Company reported net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $19.1 million or diluted earnings per share of $3.29 compared to net income of $10.0 million or $1.70 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company’s ROAA and ROACE were 1.20% and 12.53% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 0.68% and 7.06% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The increase to net income in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was due to a lower provision for loan losses and increased net interest income partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income and increases in non-interest expense and income tax expense. The increase in income tax expense was due to higher pre-tax income and a change in the Company's state tax apportionment approach implemented in the first quarter of 2020. The Company's higher effective tax rate is explained in the income tax expense section included in the discussion of results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 in this MD&A.

Net interest income increased $4.6 million or 10.3% for the comparable periods with $3.1 million of the increase attributable to U.S. SBA PPP program increased net interest income.

Interest income decreased $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. The decrease in interest income resulted from significantly lower asset yields partially offset by larger average balances of interest-earning assets and the accelerated loan fee recognition following the forgiveness of U.S. SBA PPP loans. Interest income from the Company's participation in the U.S. SBA PPP program was $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

As a result of organic growth, average total earning assets increased $162.3 million or 9.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $1,955.0 million compared to $1,792.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in average total earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from the comparable period in 2020 resulted from a $51.2 million increase in average loans and an increase of $111.2 million increase in average investments, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing deposits.
Interest expense decreased $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. Lower interest rates accounted for $5.2 million of the decrease in interest expense partially offset by $0.3 million in increased interest expense from larger average balances and changes in the funding mix of interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense decreased during 2021 as the Bank's cost of funds decreased. The prepayment of FHLB advances in the last six months of 2020, reductions in PPPLF debt, an increase in non-interest bearing accounts as a percentage of total deposits and the repricing of time and transaction deposits at lower rates all contributed to the decrease in interest expense.
Average total interest-bearing liabilities increased $60.3 million, or 4.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $1,492.9 million compared to $1,432.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the same time, average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $96.9 million, or 31.2%, to $407.4 million compared to $310.5 million. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased for the comparable periods due to customer acquisition efforts and the Bank's participation in the U.S. SBA PPP program. For the nine-month comparative periods, average total debt decreased $101.4 million, which reflects the second half of 2020 payoff of Federal Reserve's PPPLF advances and the prepayment of FHLB advances, partially offset by an increase in average Subordinated Notes of $14.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, average transaction accounts increased $288.4 million or 23.9% to $1,496.3 million from $1,207.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the same time, average time deposits decreased $29.8 million or 7.9% to $345.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Net interest margin of 3.38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was four basis points higher than the 3.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net interest margin from the first nine months of 2020 resulted primarily from the Company’s interest earning asset yields decreasing at a slower rate than overall funding costs. Interest earning asset yields decreased 35 basis points from 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 3.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company’s cost of funds decreased 40 basis points from 0.63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 0.23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Net interest income was impacted by accretion interest of $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
As a result of net U.S. SBA PPP loan interest income and accelerated loan fee recognition net interest margin increased 14 basis point for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Net interest margin decreased six basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to lower yields from U.S. SBA PPP loans compared to other loan portfolios. Loan yields decreased from 4.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 4.14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Loan yields, excluding U.S. SBA PPP loan interest income, were 4.35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 4.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Compensation expense is expected to be incurred relating to this incident and the Company submitted an insurance claim that could result in a recovery of a portion of the expense. Data processing costs are comparable to average 2020 quarterly expense and include the Bank's continued investment in technology. The Company's investments in technology have improved efficiency as the asset size of the Bank has increased. The FDIC insurance increased due to fewer deferred costs allocated for PPP loans as well as increased employee health insurance claims and larger incentive compensation accruals resulting from improvement in profitability and asset quality. Compensation and benefits for the significant increase in FDIC insured deposits that began innine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were reduced $0.28 million and $0.48 million, respectively, for the second quarterallocation of 2020.deferred origination costs for U.S. SBA PPP loans.

Including the wire transfer fraud expense, the Company's quarterly expense run rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 averaged $9.7 million. The Company's quarterly expense run rate, excluding the wire transfer fraud expense, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 averaged $9.3 million.

Allowance for Loan Losses ("ALLL") and Provision for Loan Losses ("PLL")
Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on a periodic evaluation of the portfolio with consideration given to:to overall loss experience; current economic conditions; size, growth and composition of the loan portfolio; financial condition of the borrowers; current appraised values of underlying collateral and other factors that, in management’s judgment, warrant recognition in determining an adequate allowance. Improvements to baseline charge-off factors for the periods used to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance as well as improvements in some qualitative factors, such as improvements in classified assets were offset by deterioration in other qualitative factors. Although first quarter ofyear to date 2021 charge-offs of $1.5 million increased compared to recent quarterly trends, the impactwere comparable to the ALLL charge-off factor was not significant due to average lowprior year, charge-off activity for the periods used to evaluate the allowance.allowance remained low. The specific allowance is based on management’s estimate of realizable value for particular loans. Management believes that the specific and general components of the allowance are adequate. The following is a summary roll-forward of the allowance and a breakdown of the Company’s general and specific allowances as a percentage of gross loans at and for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020 and year ended December 31, 2020:

The Company's general allowance increased from $18.1 million at December 31, 2020 to $18.2 million at September 30, 2021. The stability in the general allowance was primarily due to improvements in thesome qualitative factors of delinquency and risk classification rating, as well as slower loan growth partially offset by higher charge-offs2021 growth in the first quarter. The specific allowance decreased as specifically identified impaired loans were resolved. U.S. SBA PPP loans are excluded from the Bank's allowance methodology as they are guaranteed by the U.S. government.
The Company recorded a decrease in its provision for loan loss expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Net charge-offs also increased for the comparable periods from a $19,000 recovery inhigher risk commercial real estate portfolio. During the first quarter of 2020 to $1.5 million in net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Bank sold non-accrual and classified commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans with an amortized cost of $9.1 million, net of charge-offs of $1.4 million, and recognized a loss on the sale of $191,000.The$191,000. In the third quarter of 2021, the Bank resolved $7.8 million of non-accrual loans through $0.5 million in charge-offs that resulted in a loan sale and a payoff. The Company's saleresolution of these impaired loans decreased the specific reserve, improved asset quality and improved several ALLL qualitative factors.
Gross U.S. SBA PPP loans at September 30, 2021 totaled $56.4 million and 345 loans, a decrease of $53.9 million compared to December 31, 2020. No credit issues are anticipated with U.S. SBA PPP loans as they are guaranteed by the SBA and the Bank's allowance for loan loss does not include an allowance for U.S. SBA PPP loans.
Management believes that loans included in the COVID-19 deferral program in 2020 and 2021 are more likely to default in the future and that the identification and resolution of problem credits could be delayed. In our evaluation of current and previously deferred loans, we considered the customer industry, the length of the deferral period, and the type and amount of collateral.collateral and customer industries. Consistent with regulatory guidance, if new information during the deferral period indicates that there is evidence of default, the Bank may change the classification rating (e.g., change from passing credit to substandard) and accrual status (e.g., change from accrual to non-accrual status) as deemed appropriate. As of MarchSeptember 30, 2021, $3.4 million or 0.2% of gross portfolio loans had deferral agreements, a decrease of $32.0 million from the $35.4 million or 2.4% of gross portfolio loans at December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were a $1.0 million and $3.4 million respectively, of COVID-19 deferred loanloans deemed to be non-accrual and substandard based on reviews. All COVID-19 deferred loans were current prior to the crisis and will not be considered delinquent or troubled debt restructures ("TDRs") upon completion of the modification agreements due to provisions in the CARES Act and regulations that permit U.S. financial institutions to temporarily suspend U.S. GAAP requirements to treat such loan modifications as TDRs.

Off Balance Sheet Credit Exposure Reserve
The Company's reserve for off balance sheet credit exposures was $51,000 and did not increase in the first threenine months of 2021. The Company is monitoring line of credit usage and has not seen substantive increases in usage or expected usage. Management believes that many of the Bank's customers presently have sufficient liquidity due to COVID-19 government stimulus programs. The Company will continue to monitor activity for potential increases in the off-balance sheet reserve in future quarters as customers use available liquidity.
Classified Assets and Special Mention Assets
Classified assets decreased $6.2$15.7 million from $22.4 million at December 31, 2020 to $16.1$6.7 million at March 31,September 30, 2021. Management considers classified assets to be an important measure of asset quality. The Company's risk rating process for classified loans areis an important input into the Company's allowance methodology. Risk ratings are expected to be an important indicator in assessing ongoing credit risks of loans that are presently or were for a period of time COVID-19 deferred loans. The following is a breakdown of the Company’s classified and special mention assets at September 30, 2021, June 30, 2021, March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital Resources
The Company has no business other than holding the stock of the Bank and does not have significant operating cash needs, except for the payment of dividends declared on common stock, and the payment of interest on subordinated debentures and subordinated notes, and noninterest expense.
The Company evaluates capital resources by its ability to maintain adequate regulatory capital ratios. The Company and the Bank annually update a three-year strategic capital plan. In developing its plan, the Company considers the impact to capital of asset growth, income accretion, dividends, holding company liquidity, investment in markets and people and stress testing.
Federal banking regulations require the Company and the Bank to maintain specified levels of capital. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company and Bank were well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action under the Basel III Capital Rules. Management believes, as of March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject. See Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity
Liquidity is our ability to meet cash demands as they arise. Cash needs may come from operations, loan demand, deposit withdrawals or acquisition opportunities. Potential obligations resulting from the issuance of standby letters of credit and commitments to fund future borrowings to our loan customers are other factors affecting our liquidity needs. Many of these obligations and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements affecting our liquidity position.
Based on management’s going concern evaluation, we believe that there are no conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s or the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, within one year of the date of the issuance of the financial statements.
The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and dividends received from the Bank. The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold. The levels of such assets are dependent on the Bank’s operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows. Customer deposits are considered the primary source of funds supporting the Bank’s lending and investment activities.
Liquidity is provided by access to funding sources, which include core depositors and brokered deposits. Other sources of funds include our ability to borrow, such as purchasing federal funds from correspondent banks, sales of securities under agreements to repurchase and advances from the FHLB of Atlanta. The Bank uses wholesale funding (brokered deposits and other sources of funds) to supplement funding when loan growth exceeds core deposit growth and for asset-liability management purposes.
At March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank had $86.9$80.2 million and $66.5 million, respectively, in loan commitments outstanding. In addition, at March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank had $22.9$22.3 million and $20.0 million, respectively, in letters of credit and approximately $225.0$237.1 million and $225.5 million, respectively, available under lines of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 totaled $258.6$272.8 million, or 74.16%80.3% and $266.1 million, or 75.21%75.2%, respectively, of total certificates of deposit outstanding. If maturing deposits do not remain, the Bank will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, the Bank may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than the Bank currently pays on the certificates of deposits. Management believes, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of the Bank's certificates of deposit will remain with the Bank. Management has the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
Management has increased oversight and review ofmonitors customer line of credit usage. If we were to experience increases in draws on customer lines of credit or decreased deposit levels in future periods as a result of the distressed economic conditions in our market areas relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, our level of borrowed funds could increase.
At March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company had on-balance sheet liquidity of $187.8$147.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. At March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company had loans and securities pledged or in safekeeping at FHLB which provided for funding availability of $369.5$515.2 million at March 31,September 30, 2021.

Advances from the FHLB are secured by the Bank’s stock in the FHLB, a portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio and certain investments. Generally, the Bank’s ability to borrow from the FHLB of Atlanta is limited by its available collateral and also by an overall limitation of 30% of assets. FHLB long-term debt consists of adjustable-rate advances with rates based upon LIBOR, fixed-rate advances, and convertible advances. As of March 31, 2021, 100% of the Bank's long-term debt was fixed for rate and term, as the conversion optionality of the advances have either been exercised or expired. In addition, the Bank has established unsecured and secured lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank and commercial banks.
For additional information on these agreements, including collateral, see Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements as presented in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The Company’s net loan to deposit ratio decreased from 91.3% at December 31, 2020 and to 85.8%78.3% at March 31,September 30, 2021. The Company intends to use available on-balance sheet liquidity to fund loans, increase investments and limit the use of wholesale funding.
The Bank’s principal sources of funds for investment and operations are net income, deposits, sales of loans, borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans, principal and interest received on investment securities and proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities. The Bank’s principal funding commitments are for the origination or purchase of loans, the purchase of securities and the payment of maturing deposits.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends.
The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold. The levels of such assets are dependent on the Bank’s operating, financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows.
Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021 totaled $187.8 million, an increase of $110.8 million from the December 31, 2020 total of $77.1 million. Ending cash balances increased primarily due to increases in net deposits and proceeds from sales and principal payments on investment securities. These increases were partially offset by the excess of loan originations over principal collected and the purchase of investment securities. Changes to the level of cash and cash equivalents have minimal impact on operational needs as the Bank has substantial sources of funds available from other sources.
During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, all financing activities provided $121.4$234.9 million in cash compared to $26.0$325.5 million in cash for the same period in 2020. The Company additional cashCash from financing activities indecreased $90.6 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 compared to the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 was primarily due to increaseda decrease in long term borrowings of $102.9 million, decreased deposit growth of $121.5$8.8 million and the repurchase of common stock of $6.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in short term and long term borrowings and subordinated debt activities.activities of $23.0 million.
During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 all investing activities used $19.8$195.2 million in cash compared to $40.6$190.2 million in cash used for the same period in 2020. The decreaseincrease in cash used was primarily the result of cash used for purchases of investment securities andpartially offset by a decrease in cash used for loan activities. Cash used for loan activities which decreased $18.4 million and $17.0$186.0 million from $53.9$176.4 million, and $35.7 million, respectively, for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 to $35.6$9.6 million and $18.7 million, respectively,of cash provided for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 primarily due to decreased PPP originations in 2021 compared to the prior year comparable period. Cash used for the purchase of investment securities increased $158.4 million from $107.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $265.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Cash used decreased $25.5$41.9 million as total proceeds from the sales and principal payments of available for sale securities for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 decreased over the prior year comparable period.
Operating activities provided cash of $9.2$30.5 million, or $1.2$10.5 million more cash, for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, compared to $8.0$20.0 million of cash provided for the same period of 2020.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk is defined as the exposure to changes in net interest income and capital that arises from movements in interest rates. Depending on the composition of the balance sheet, increasingIncreasing or decreasing interest rates can negatively affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
The Company measures interest rate risk overby modeling changes to Net Interest Income ("NII") and changes to the short and long term. The Company measures interest rate risk as the change in net interest income (“NII"Economic Value of Equity ("EVE") caused by a change in interest rates over twelve and twenty-four months. The Company’s NII simulations provide information about short-term interest rate risk exposure. The Company also measures interest rate risk by measuring changes in the values of assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates. The economic value of equity (“EVE”NII”) is defined as the present value of future cash flows from existing assets, minus the present value of future cash flows from existing liabilities. EVE simulations reflect the interest rate sensitivity of assetsNII changes are modeled over twelve and liabilities over a longer time period, considering the maturities, average life and duration of all balance sheet accounts.
The Board of Directors has established an interest rate risk policy, which is administered by the Bank’s Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”). The policy establishes limits on risk, which are quantitative measures of the percentage change in NII and EVE resulting from changes in interest rates. Both NII and EVE simulations assist in identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling interest rate risk and are used by management and the ALCO Committee to ensure that interest rate risk exposure will be maintained within Board policy guidelines. The ALCO Committee reports quarterly to the Board of Directors. Mitigating strategies are used to maintain interest rate risk within established limits.twenty-four months.
The Company’s interest rate risk (“IRR”) model uses assumptions which include factors such as call features, prepayment options and interest rate caps and floors included in investment and loan portfolio contracts. Additionally,bases its results on the IRR model estimates the lives and interest rate sensitivitycharacteristics of the Company’s non-maturity deposits. These assumptions have a significant effect on model results. The assumptions are developed primarily based upon historical behaviorCompany's assets and liabilities including contractual features as well as estimates of Bank customers. The Company also considers industry and regional data in developing IRR model assumptions.consumer behavior. There are inherent limitations in the Company’s IRR model and underlying assumptions. When interest rates change, actual movements of interest-earning assetschanges in EVE and interest-bearing liabilities, loan prepayments, and withdrawals of time and other deposits,NII may deviate significantly from assumptions used in the model. The Company prepares a current base case and several alternative simulations at least quarterly. Current interest rates are shocked by +/- 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points (“bp”). In addition, the Company simulates additional rate curve scenarios (e.g., bear flattener).that model non-parallel changes in rates. The Company may elect not to use particular scenarios that it determines are impractical in a current rate environment. The Company’s internalCompany's interest rate risk policy establishes limits on the percentage change in NII and EVE resulting from changes in interest rates. The limits established for parallel shock scenarios are as follows:
Shock in Basis PointsNet Interest IncomeEconomic Value of Equity
+ - 40025%40%
+ - 30020%30%
+ - 20015%20%
+ - 10010%10%
It is management’s goal to manage the Bank’s portfolios so that net interest income at risk over twelve and twenty-four-month periods and the economic value of equity at risk do not exceed policy guidelines at the various interest rate shock levels. At March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not exceed any Board approved sensitivity limits for percentage change in net interest income.NII. In the firstthird quarter of 2021 the percentage change in economic value of equityEVE exceeded policy guidelines due to alreadythe historically low level of rates on non-maturing deposit instruments. Managementinterest rate environment. The Company has determined that due to the level of market rates at March 31,September 30, 2021, interest rate shocks of -100, -200, -300 and -400 basis points leave the Bank with near zero down to negative rate instruments and are not considered practical or informative. Measures of net interest income at risk produced by simulation analysis are indicators of an institution’s short-term performance in alternative rate environments.
