EXPLANATORY NOTE

On March 1, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), Amalgamated Financial Corp., a Delaware public benefit corporation (the “Company”) acquired all of the outstanding stock of Amalgamated Bank, a New York state-chartered bank (the “Bank”), in a statutory share exchange transaction (the “Reorganization”) effected under New York law and in accordance with the terms of a Plan of Acquisition dated September 4, 2020 (the “Agreement”). ~~The Reorganization and the Agreement were approved by the Bank’s stockholders at a special meeting of the Bank’s stockholders held on January 12, 2021.~~ Pursuant to the Reorganization, ~~shares of the Bank’s Class A common stock were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. As a result,~~ the Bank became the sole subsidiary of the Company, the Company became the holding company for the Bank and the stockholders of the Bank became stockholders of the Company.

Before the Effective Date, the Bank’s Class A common stock was registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and the Bank was subject to the information requirements of the Exchange Act and, in accordance with Section 12(i) thereof, filed quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). As of the Effective Date, pursuant to Rule 12g-3 under the Exchange Act, the Company is the successor registrant to the Bank, the Company’s common stock is deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has become subject to the information requirements of the Exchange Act and files reports, proxy statements and other information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

In this report, unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Company and the Bank. However, if the discussion relates to a period before the Effective Date, the terms refer only to the Bank.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CHANGES IN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Holding Company Reorganization

On March 1, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), Amalgamated Financial Corp., a Delaware public benefit corporation (the “Company”)

acquired all of the outstanding stock of Amalgamated Bank, a New York state-chartered bank (the “Bank”), in a statutory share

exchange transaction (the “Reorganization”) effected under New York law and in accordance with the terms of a Plan of

Acquisition dated September 4, 2020 (the “Agreement”). ~~The Reorganization and the Agreement were approved by the Bank’s~~

~~stockholders at a special meeting of the Bank’s stockholders held on January 12, 2021.~~ Pursuant to the Reorganization, ~~shares of~~

~~the Bank’s Class A common stock were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. As a~~

~~result,~~ the Bank became the sole subsidiary of the Company, the Company became the holding company for the Bank and the

stockholders of the Bank became stockholders of the Company. Prior to the Effective Date of the Reorganization, the Company conducted no operations other than obtaining regulatory approval for the Reorganization. Accordingly, there has been no significant financial activity at the parent company level as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.

In this discussion, unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Company and the Bank. However, if the discussion relates to a period before the Effective Date, the terms refer only to the Bank.

Segment Information

Public companies are required to report certain financial information about significant revenue-producing segments of the business for which such information is available and utilized by the chief operating decision maker. Substantially all of our operations occur through the Bank and involve the delivery of loan and deposit products to customers. Management makes operating decisions and assesses performance based on an ongoing review of its banking operation, which constitutes our only operating segment for financial reporting purposes. We do not consider our trust and investment management business as a separate segment.

Basis of Accounting and Changes in Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Amalgamated Financial Corp. (the “Company”) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP and predominant practices within the banking industry. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting for financial statement purposes.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. All significant inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the results of operations as of the dates and for the interim periods presented have been included. A more detailed description of our accounting policies is included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”). There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies, or the estimates made pursuant to those policies as described in our 2020 Annual Report. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in the 2020 Annual Report.

~~Risks and Uncertainties~~Reclassifications

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is fluid and continues to evolve, adversely affecting many of the Company’s clients. The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations generally rely upon the ability of the Bank’s borrowers to repay their loans, the value of collateral underlying the Bank’s secured loans, and demand for loans and other products and services the Bank offers, which are highly dependent on the business environment in the Bank’s primary markets where it operates and in the United States as a whole. The unprecedented and rapid spread of COVID-19 and its associated impacts on trade (including supply chains and export levels), travel, employee productivity, unemployment, consumer spending, and other economic activities has resulted in less economic activity, and significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, and has had an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have had, and are expected to continue to have, possibly materially, an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The ultimate extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of


~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)~~

operations is currently uncertain and will depend on various developments and other factors, including the effect of governmental and private sector initiatives, the effect of the recent rollout of vaccinations for the virus, whether such vaccinations will be effective against any resurgence of the virus, including any new strain, and the ability for customers and businesses to return to their pre-pandemic routine. In addition, it is reasonably possible that certain significant estimates made in the Company’s financial statements could be materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

~~Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020~~

~~In June 2016, the FASB amended existing guidance for ASU 2017-04~~, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)”, to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments also eliminate the requirement for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments became effective for public business entities for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The amendments should be applied prospectively. An entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition in the first annual period and in the interim period within the first annual period when the entity initially adopts the amendments. As a result of our acquisition of New Resource Bank (“NRB”) in the latter half of the second quarter of 2018, we elected June 30, 2019 as the beginning date for annual impairment testing. We adopted ASU 2017-04 during the second quarter of 2020 and performed our annual impairment test. Our estimated fair value was in excess of the carrying value and the Bank, as a sole reporting unit, was not at risk of failing the quantitative analysis. Adoption did not have an effect on our operating results or financial condition. Refer to Note 13 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further details.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”, which improves the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement as follows: removes disclosure requirements for the amount and reasons for transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy; modifies disclosure requirements for transfers into and out of Level 3 assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy; adds disclosure requirements for the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update became effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition.

Accounting Standards Effective in 2021 and onward

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model and provides for recording credit losses on available for sale debt securities through an allowance account. ASU 2016-13 also requires certain incremental disclosures. In October 2019, the FASB voted to extend the adoption date for entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies, public business entities ~~(PBEs)~~("PBEs") that are not SEC filers, and entities that are not PBEs from January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2023. Based on our election as an Emerging Growth Company under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act to use the extended transition period for complying with any new or revised financial accounting standards, we currently anticipate a January 1, 2023 adoption date. In preparation, we have performed work in assessing and enhancing the technology environment and related data needs and availability. Additionally, a Management Committee comprised of members from multiple departments has been established to monitor our progress towards adoption. As adoption will require the implementation of significant changes to the existing credit loss estimation model and is dependent on the economic forecast, and given the length of time before our adoption date, evaluating the overall impact of the ASU on our Consolidated Financial Statements is not yet determinable.

On January 7, 2021, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update ~~(ASU)~~("ASU") No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. The new guidance amends the scope of ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which was aimed at easing the potential accounting burden expected when global capital markets move away from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") (the benchmark interest rate banks use to make short-term loans to each other) and provided temporary, optional expedients and exceptions for applying accounting guidance to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. As the majority of our securities tied to LIBOR are expected to transition to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate


~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)~~
~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020~~

("SOFR") or pay off before the transition date and given that we do not have a substantial amount of commercial loans or any derivative transactions tied to LIBOR, the Adoption of ASU 2021-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our operating results or financial condition.

3. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

The Company records unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, on securities available for sale in other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. Gains and losses on securities available for sale are reclassified to operations as the gains or losses are recognized. Other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses on debt securities are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The Company also recognizes as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) the actuarial gains or losses as well as the prior service costs or credits that arise during the period from post-retirement benefit plans.

Other comprehensive income (loss) components and related income tax effects were as follows:

The temporary impairment of fixed income ~~securities (mortgage-related securities, U.S. Treasury and GSE securities, trust preferred securities and corporate debt)~~ is primarily attributable to changes in overall market interest rates and/or changes in credit spreads since the investments were acquired. In general, as market interest rates rise and/or credit spreads widen, the fair value of fixed rate securities will decrease, as market interest rates fall and/or credit spreads tighten, the fair value of fixed rate securities will increase. Management considers that the temporary impairment of the Company’s investments in trust preferred securities (“TruPs”) as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 is primarily due to a widening of credit spreads since the time these investments were acquired, as well as market uncertainty for this class of investments. All of the TruPs were rated investment grade by not less than

1615


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020

well as market uncertainty for this class of investments. As of March 31, 2021, temporarily impaired TruPs consist of direct investments in the TruPs of two large financial institutions. As of March 31, 2021, the amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s investment in these TruPs was $14.6 million and $14.1 million, respectively. All of the TruPs were rated investment grade by not less than three nationally recognized statistical rating organization’s (“NRSROs”). All of the issues are current as to their dividend payments and management is not aware of a decision of any trust preferred issuer to exercise its option to defer dividend payments.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, excluding GSE and U.S. Treasury securities and TruPs, discussed above, temporarily impaired securities totaled ~~$795.6~~$827.1 million with an unrealized loss of ~~$4.5~~$6.3 million. With the exception of ~~$451.6~~$545.8 million of PACE bonds which were not rated, the remaining securities were rated investment grade by at least one NRSRO with no ratings below investment grade. All issues were current as to their interest payments. We have had no losses on any PACE bonds and are not aware of any losses in the sector given the low LTV position. Management considers that the temporary impairment of these investments as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 is primarily due to an increase in market spreads since the time these investments were acquired.

With respect to the Company’s security investments that are temporarily impaired as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, management does not intend to sell these investments and does not believe it will be necessary to do so before anticipated recovery. The Company expects to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of these investments. Therefore, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. None of these positions or other securities held in the portfolio or sold during the year were purchased with the intent of selling them or would otherwise be classified as trading securities under ASC No. 320, Investments – Debt Securities.

During the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an0 OTTI, ~~loss of $2,693,~~ compared to 0a $1,100 OTTI ~~loss~~ for the same period in 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded $2,700 OTTI, compared to a $1,100 OTTI for the same period in 2020.

Events which may cause material declines in the fair value of debt investments may include, but are not limited to, deterioration of credit metrics, higher incidences of default, worsening liquidity, worsening global or domestic economic conditions or adverse regulatory action. Management does not believe that there are any cases of unrecorded OTTI as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021; however, it is possible that the Company may recognize OTTI in future periods.

~~In general, a modification or restructuring of~~For a loan ~~constitutes~~modification to be considered a troubled debt restructuring ~~(“TDR”~~("TDR") ifin accordance with ASC 310-40, both of the ~~Company grants~~following conditions must be met: the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and the creditor has granted a concession ~~to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty.~~(except for an “insignificant delay in payment”, defined as six months or less). Loans modified as TDRs are placed on non-accrual status until the Company determines that future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which generally requires that the borrower demonstrate performance according to the restructured terms for a period of at least six months. The Company’s TDRs primarily involve rate reductions, forbearance of arrears or extension of maturity. TDRs are included in total impaired loans as of the respective date. For a loan modification to be considered a TDR in accordance with ASC 310-40, both of the following conditions must be met: the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and the creditor has granted a concession (except for an “insignificant delay in payment”, defined as six months or less).

On March 22, 2020, federal banking regulators issued an interagency statement that included guidance on their approach for the accounting of loan modifications in light of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The guidance interprets current accounting standards and indicates that a lender can conclude that a borrower is not experiencing financial difficulty if short-term modifications are made in response to COVID-19, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant related to the loans in which the borrower is less than 30 days past due on its contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. The agencies confirmed in working 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 TDRs.

On March 27, 2020, the ~~CARES~~Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act was enacted to help the nation’s economy recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act ~~provides~~provided $2.2 trillion of economy-wide financial stimulus in the form of financial aid to individuals, businesses, nonprofit entities, states, and municipalities. Under Section 4022 of the CARES Act, a borrower with a federally backed mortgage loan that iswas experiencing a financial hardship due to COVID-19 may request a forbearance (i.e., payment deferral), regardless of delinquency status, for up to 180 days, which may be extended for an additional 180 days at the borrower’s request. Before this relief was set to expire on December 31, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed into law, which extended the relief granted under the CARES act to the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the national emergency is terminated. During this relief period, no fees, penalties, or interest beyond those scheduled or calculated as if the borrower had made all contractual payments on time and in full will accrue. In addition, Section 4013 of the CARES Act provides temporary relief from the accounting and reporting requirements for TDRs regarding certain loan modifications related to COVID-19. Specifically, the CARES Act provides that a financial institution may elect to suspend the requirements under GAAP for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR. Modifications that qualify for this exception include a forbearance arrangement, an interest rate modification, a repayment plan, or any other similar arrangement that defers or delays the payment of principal or interest, that occurs for a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. In accordance with interagency guidance and the CARES Act, short term deferrals granted due to

Total loans	$	3,114,298	$	211,853	$	155,952	$	462	$	3,482,565

The above classifications follow regulatory guidelines and can be generally described as follows:

•pass loans are of satisfactory quality;

•special mention loans have a potential weakness or risk that may result in the deterioration of future repayment;

•substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged (these loans have a well-defined weakness, and there is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss); and

•doubtful loans, based on existing circumstances, have weaknesses that make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Under the two-class method, earnings available to common stockholders for the period are allocated between common stockholders and participating securities according to participation rights in undistributed earnings. Our time-based and performance based restricted stock units are not considered participating securities as they do not receive dividend distributions until satisfaction of the related vesting requirements. As of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, we had 76,000 and 219,000 anti-dilutive shares, respectively.

The factors used in the earnings per share computation follow:

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assumptions are developed based on prioritizing information within a fair value hierarchy that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. A description of the disclosure hierarchy and the types of financial instruments recorded at fair value that management believes would generally qualify for each category are as follows:

Level 1 - Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Accordingly, valuation of these assets and liabilities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Examples include most U.S. Government securities and exchange-traded equity securities.

Level 2 - Valuations are based on either quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or significant inputs to the methodology that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Financial instruments in this level would generally include mortgage-related securities and other debt issued by GSEs, non-GSE mortgage-related securities, corporate debt, certain redeemable fund investments and certain trust preferred securities.

Level 3 - Valuations are based on inputs to the methodology that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets and liabilities.

The following summarizes those financial instruments measured at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition categorized by the relevant class of investment and level of the fair value hierarchy:

11. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK

Credit Commitments

The Company is party to various credit related financial instruments with off balance sheet risk. The Company, in the normal course of business, issues such financial instruments in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

The following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk as of the related periods:

March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020
(In thousands)
Commitments to extend credit $ 593,600 $ 455,541
Standby letters of credit 16,018 17,910
Total $ 609,618 $ 473,451





	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
(In thousands)
Commitments to extend credit	$	605,084	$	455,541
Standby letters of credit	16,118		17,910
Total	$	621,202	$	473,451

Commitments to extend credit are contracts to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. These commitments have fixed expiration dates and other termination clauses and generally require the payment of nonrefundable fees. Since a portion of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the contractual principal amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. These instruments represent ultimate exposure to credit risk only to the extent they are subsequently drawn upon by customers.

Standby letters of credit are conditional lending commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the financial performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The balance sheet carrying value of standby letters of credit approximates any nonrefundable fees received but not yet recorded as income. The Company considers this carrying value, which is not material, to approximate the estimated fair value of these financial instruments.

The Company reserves for the credit risk inherent in off balance sheet credit commitments. This reserve, which is included in other liabilities, amounted to approximately ~~$1.2~~$1.1 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2020.

Investment Obligations

The Bank is party to agreements with Pace Funding Group LLC, or PFG, for the purchase of up to ~~$300~~$375 million of property assessed clean energy, or PACE, assessment securities by the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, the Bank has an additional obligation up to ~~$25~~$100 million for other PACE related purchases. These investments are to be held in the Company's held-to-maturity investment portfolio. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, we had fulfilled ~~$214.5~~$262.6 million of these obligations. As of December 31, 2020, the Bank had fulfilled $165.4 million of our obligation. The PACE assessments have equal-lien priority with property taxes and generally rank senior to first lien mortgages.

12. LEASES

The Bank as a lessee has operating leases primarily consisting of real estate arrangements where the Company operates its headquarters, branches and business production offices. All leases identified as in scope are accounted for as operating leases as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. These leases are typically long-term leases and generally are not complicated arrangements or structures. Several of the leases contain renewal options at a rate comparable to the fair market value based on comparable analysis to similar properties in the Bank’s geographies.

Real estate operating leases are presented as a ~~Right-of-use~~right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a related ~~Operating~~operating lease liability on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and the operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company applied its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) as the discount rate to the remaining lease payments to derive a present value calculation for initial measurement of the operating lease liability. The IBR reflects the interest rate the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The following table summarizes our lease cost and other operating lease information:

13. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

In accordance with GAAP, the ~~Bank~~Company performs an annual test as of June 30 to identify potential impairment of goodwill, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment may exist. If the carrying amount of the ~~Bank,~~Company, as a sole reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess up to the amount of the recorded goodwill.

The ~~fair value of the~~ Company ~~was determined by using a combination of a market approach and an income approach under the framework established for measuring fair value under ASC 820.Under both approaches the estimated fair value of the Company was in excess of the carrying value and the Bank, as a sole reporting unit, was not at risk of failing the quantitative analysis.The fair value is~~performed its annual test based upon market data as of June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and estimates and assumptions that the Company believes ~~are~~ most appropriate for the analysis.~~However, changes~~ Based on the qualitative analysis performed in accordance with ASC 350, the Company determined it more likely than not that goodwill was not impaired as of June 30, 2021. Changes in certain assumptions used in the ~~Company’s calculations~~Company's assessment could result in significant differences in the results of the impairment test.Should market conditions or management’s assumptions change significantly in the future, an impairment to goodwill is possible. ~~As of March 31, 2021, there were no changes to the Company's annual impairment test conclusion.~~

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of goodwill was $12.9 million.

Overview

Our business

The Company was formed on August 25, 2020 to serve as the holding company for the ~~Bank. The~~ Bank, which was formed in 1923 as Amalgamated Bank of New York by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, one of the country’s oldest labor unions. Although we are no longer majority union-owned, The Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America’s successor, Workers United, an affiliate of the Service Employees International Union that represents workers in the textile, distribution, food service and gaming industries, remains a significant stockholder, holding approximately ~~41%~~40% of our equity as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, our total assets were ~~$6.4~~$6.6 billion, our total loans, net of deferred fees and allowance were ~~$3.2~~$3.1 billion, our total deposits were ~~$5.7~~$5.9 billion, and our stockholders' equity was ~~$540.2~~$548.2 million. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, our trust business held ~~$37.5~~$39.2 billion in assets under custody and ~~$15.7~~$16.6 billion in assets under management.

We offer a complete suite of commercial and retail banking, investment management and trust and custody services.

The Bank is also the largest of ~~ten~~twelve commercial financial institutions in the United States that are members of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values, a network of banking leaders from around the world committed to advancing positive change in the banking sector.

Continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create ~~extensive~~ disruptions to the global economy and financial markets and to businesses

and the lives of individuals throughout the world. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its related variants is fluid and continues to evolve, adversely affecting many of our clients. Our business, financial condition and results of operations generally rely upon the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans, the value of collateral underlying our secured loans, and demand for loans and other products and services we offer, which are highly dependent on the business environment in our primary markets where ~~it operates~~we operate and in the United States as a whole. The unprecedented and rapid spread of COVID-19 and its variants and their associated impacts on trade (including supply chains and export levels), travel, employee productivity, unemployment, consumer spending, and other economic activities ~~has~~have resulted and continue to result in less economic activity, and ~~significant~~ volatility and disruption in financial markets, and has had an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. In addition, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, market interest rates have declined ~~significantly.~~to and remain at historic lows. These reductions in interest rates and the other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have had, and are expected to continue to have, ~~possibly materially, an~~material adverse ~~effect~~effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The ultimate extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations is currently uncertain and will depend on various developments and other factors, including the effect of governmental and private sector initiatives, the effect of the rollout of vaccinations for the virus and its variants, whether such vaccinations will be effective against any resurgence of the virus, including any new strains, and the ability for customers and businesses to return to their pre-pandemic ~~routine.~~routines. In addition, it is reasonably possible that certain significant estimates made in our financial statements could be materially and adversely ~~impacted~~affected in the near term as a result of these conditions.

As a result of these events, we have seen the following continuing impacts to our business since the start of the pandemic:

Impacts on our operations

Our primary geographic markets include the metropolitan areas of New York City, Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Boston. New York City was one of the areas in the United States initially hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the pandemic, we took a wide range of actions to help protect our employees and customers and to ensure the operational continuity of our business, while continuing to provide core banking services to our consumer and commercial clients. The majority of our employees continue to work remotely with the exception of essential branch and facility staff. Accordingly, we had to close or reduce hours at our branches in several locations due to the risk of transmission of COVID-19.

As a result of the temporary closures or reduced hours at several of our branches, ~~our executive management~~we reassessed our branch network and ~~recommended~~ permanently ~~closing~~closed six branches due to low ~~traffic, which our Board of Directors approved.~~traffic. We expect to fully serve these affected customers through our remaining branch network and through our digital platform. We took a charge of $8.3 million related to these branch closures in 2020. However, we expect these closures to benefit our non-interest expenses by approximately $4.0 million annually once fully phased in over time.

As the pandemic subsides, we expect more of our employees ~~will be returning~~to return to the office. There may be risks inherent in providing safe, effective working environments for our staff, including transport, building logistics, and working conditions.

Impacts on our loan portfolio

The disruption in economic activity across the United States, and particularly in New York, ~~has~~ caused stress in the financial condition of both our consumer and commercial clients. As a result, we established programs offering payment deferrals for customers that needed assistance. In accordance with interagency guidance and the CARES Act, short term deferrals granted due

to the COVID-19 pandemic are not considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) unless the borrower was experiencing

financial difficulty prior to the pandemic. The CARES Act ~~provides~~provided temporary relief from the accounting and reporting requirements for TDRs regarding certain loan modifications related to COVID-19. In addition, under the terms of these deferral agreements, the loans will not be reported as past due or as non-accrual for the agreed upon term of the deferral, unless additional information becomes available that indicates the loan will not perform as expected when the deferral is complete. Interest will continue to accrue during the deferral period. In general, the interest and principal originally due during the deferral period will be due at the contractual end of the loan. If the loan does not exit deferral and does not continue to pay according to contractual terms, the loan will then be considered as any other loan that is past due or not in agreement with contractual terms, and additional allowance and reversal of related accrued interest will likely be required for these loans.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the Company had ~~$8.5~~$4.0 million in loans on payment deferral and still accruing interest, the majority of which ~~$4.9 million~~ were residential loans, and ~~the remaining $3.6 million~~none were commercial ~~or consumer~~ loans.

No COVID-19 related loan deferrals were graded as criticized by our internal grading system solely on the basis of the deferral request, nor was any related additional allowance recorded. We continue to accrue interest on all COVID-19 related loan deferrals for up to six months. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the accrued interest balance on COVID-19 related loans where balances were instill on deferral was $4.7 million.

Other impacts on our results of operation and financial condition

In addition to the factors above, we believe the following factors may impact our earnings, though we are unable to quantify the impacts at this time:

•Increased allowance related to loans that continue to be impacted by the economy after the payment deferral periods end

•Lower net interest margin due to the Federal ~~Reserves’~~Reserve’s decision to hold rate targets “near zero”; and

•Lower loan originations as the credit worthiness of borrowers may be impacted by the current economic environment

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, we had $12.9 million of goodwill. During the second quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, we performed our annual impairment analysis and determined no goodwill impairment was required. However, we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic fallout, including changes in our stock price, the Federal Reserve’s significant reduction in interest rates and other business and market considerations, which may require us to reevaluate our goodwill impairment analysis. Any goodwill impairment charges we incur could have a material adverse effect on our earnings for one reporting period, but would not impact our cash flow or regulatory capital levels.

These factors, together or in combination with other events or occurrences that may not yet be known or anticipated, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Results of Operations

General

Our results of operations depend substantially on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of interest income on loans, investment securities and other short-term investments and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of interest expense on deposits and borrowings. Our results of operations are also dependent on non-interest income, consisting primarily of income from Trust Department fees, service charges on deposit accounts, net gains on sales of investment securities and income from bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”). Other factors contributing to our results of operations include our provisions for loan losses, income taxes, and non-interest expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and depreciation expenses, professional fees, data processing fees and other miscellaneous operating costs.

Net income for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 was $~~12.2~~10.4 million, or ~~$0.39~~$0.33 per diluted share, compared to $~~9.5~~10.4 million, or ~~$0.30~~$0.33 per diluted share, for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2020. ~~The~~

~~$2.6 million~~

~~increase in net~~Net income for the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended June 30, 2021 was $22.6 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, compared to ~~the first quarter of 2020, is~~$19.9 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for same period in 2020. The $2.7 million increase was primarily due to a $~~11.8~~18.4 million decrease in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by a $~~5.1 million~~ ~~decrease in non-interest income, a~~ ~~$2.8~~5.3 million decrease in net interest income, a $8.5 million decrease in non-interest income and a $~~0.5~~0.9 million increase in non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, representing interest income less interest expense, is a significant contributor to our revenues and earnings. We generate interest income from interest, dividends and prepayment fees on interest-earning assets, including loans, investment securities and other short-term investments. We incur interest expense from interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, including interest-bearing deposits, FHLB advances and other borrowings. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor (i) yields on our loans and other interest-earning assets, (ii) the costs of our deposits and other funding sources, (iii) our net interest spread and (iv) our net interest margin. Net interest spread is equal to the difference between rates earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is equal to the annualized net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Because non-interest-bearing sources of funds, such as non-interest-bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity, also fund interest-earning assets, net interest margin includes the benefit of these non-interest-bearing sources.

Changes in the market interest rates and interest rates we earn on interest-earning assets or pay on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the volume and types of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing liabilities, are usually the largest drivers of periodic changes in net interest spread, net interest margin and net interest income.

(2) Amounts are net of deferred origination costs / (fees) and the allowance for loan losses and includes loans held for sale

(3) Net interest margin includes prepayment penalty income in ~~1Q2021, 4Q2020,~~2Q2021 and ~~1Q2020~~2Q2020 of ~~$641,887, $1,986,500,~~$504,469 and ~~$761,568~~$239,190 respectively

Our net interest income was $~~41.8~~42.0 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021, compared to $~~44.7~~44.4 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2020. The year-over-year decrease of $~~2.8~~2.4 million, or ~~6.37%~~5.5%, was primarily attributable to a decrease in average loans of ~~$170.7~~$408.3 million from the prepayment of residential and commercial loans and a 3015 basis point decrease in yield due to lower ~~prepayment penalties and lower~~ yields on originations, partially offset by higher income on securities and lower interest expense on deposits.

Our net interest spread was ~~2.73%~~2.65% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, compared to ~~3.14%~~2.88% for the same period in 2020, a decrease of 4123 basis points. Our net interest margin was ~~2.85%~~2.75% for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021, a decrease of 6135 basis points from ~~3.46%~~3.10% in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2020. The accretion of the loan mark from the loans we acquired in our ~~NRB~~New Resource Bank ("NRB") acquisition contributed two basis points to our net interest margin in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021, compared to ~~four~~three basis points in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2020. Prepayment penalties earned through loan income contributed ~~$0.6~~$0.5 million,, or ~~four~~three basis points, to our net interest margin in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021, compared to ~~no impact~~two basis points in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2020.

The yield on average earning assets was ~~2.96%~~2.85% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, compared to ~~3.77%~~3.28% for the same period in 2020, a decrease of 8143 basis points. This decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in yields on loans and securities due to a decrease in the Federal Funds rate.

The average rate on interest-bearing liabilities was ~~0.23%~~0.20% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, a decrease of 4020 basis points from the same period in 2020, which was primarily due to a decrease in the rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 51% of average deposits for the three months ended June 30, 2021, contributing to a total cost of deposits of 10 basis points in the second quarter of 2021.

Our net interest income was $83.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $89.1 million for the same period in 2020. The year-over-year decrease of $5.3 million, or 5.9%, was primarily attributable to a decrease in average loans of $289.6 million and lower yields earned on interest bearing assets. These impacts are partially offset by an increase in average securities of

$670.0 million, and a decrease in average ~~borrowings as a result of an increase in average deposits. The average rate~~rates paid on ~~interest-bearing deposits~~deposits.

Our net interest spread was ~~0.23%~~ 2.68% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, compared to 3.00% for the same period in 2020, a decrease of 32 basis points. Our net interest margin was 2.80% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of 39 47 basis points from 3.27% in the same period in 2020.

The yield on average earning assets was 2.90% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 3.51% for the same period in 2020, a decrease of 61 basis points. This decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in yields on loans and securities due to a decrease in the Federal Funds rate.

The average rate on interest-bearing liabilities, comprised almost entirely of deposits, was 0.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of 29 basis points from the same period in 2020, which was primarily due to the mix of deposits shifting from higher cost CDs to lower cost money market deposits and a decrease in ~~the pricing~~rates paid on ~~deposits for new and existing customers.~~interest-bearing deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented ~~49%~~51% of average deposits for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, contributing to a total cost of deposits of11 11 basis points in the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2021.

Rate-Volume Analysis

Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in weighted average interest rates. The table below presents the effect of volume and rate changes on interest income and expense. Changes in volume are changes in the average balance multiplied by the previous period’s average rate. Changes in rate are changes in the average rate multiplied by the average balance from the previous period. The net changes attributable to the combined impact of both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate:

Provision for Loan Losses

We establish an allowance for loan losses through a provision for loan losses charged as an expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The provision for loan losses is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the allowance at an adequate level to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date and that, in management’s judgment, is appropriate under GAAP. Our determination of the amount of the allowance and corresponding provision for loan losses considers ongoing evaluations of the credit quality and level of credit risk inherent in our loan portfolio, levels of nonperforming loans and charge-offs, statistical trends and economic and other relevant factors. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and decreased by recoveries of provisions released from expense or by actual charge-offs, net of recoveries on prior loan charge-offs. In accordance with accounting guidance for business combinations, we recorded all loans acquired in the NRB acquisition at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition with no carryover of the related allowance.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Our provision for loan losses totaled ~~a release~~an expense of ~~$3.3~~$1.7 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 compared to an expense of ~~$8.6~~$8.2 million for the same period in 2020. The expense in the second quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by an increase in allowance due to an increase of specific reserves for C&I loans, countered by net balance reductions.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Our provisions for loan losses totaled a recovery of $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to an expense of $16.8 million for the same period in 2020. The recovery infor the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily driven by a release of allowance for loan loss due to lower loan balances, and the upgrade of one construction loan to a pass ~~rating.~~rating, countered by an increase in allowance due to an increase of specific reserves for C&I loans.

For a further discussion of the allowance, see “Allowance for Loan Losses” below.

Non-Interest Income

Our non-interest income ~~included~~includes Trust Department fees, which consist of fees received in connection with investment advisory and custodial management services of investment accounts, service fees charged on deposit accounts, income on BOLI, gain or loss on sales of securities, sales of loans, and other real estate owned, income from equity method investments, and other income.

The following table presents our non-interest income for the periods indicated:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Our non-interest income was ~~$4.0~~$5.3 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021, compared to ~~$9.1~~$8.7 million for the same period in 2020, a decrease of ~~$5.1~~$3.4 million, or ~~56.1%~~39.1%. This decrease was primarily due to a loss of ~~$3.7~~$1.6 million related to equity method investments in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 compared to ~~no income or loss~~a $1.3 million gain in the same ~~quarter of~~period in 2020. We primarily recognized the benefit of the tax credits in the second half of 2020, the initial year of the equity investment. We expect ~~additional~~minimal losses in equity method investments ~~of approximately $1.8 million~~ during the remainder of ~~2021; this loss is due to the timing of the $7.4 million in tax benefits earned during 2020.~~2021. These impacts do not include any benefits of new solar equity investments that we may make in the future. The decrease in other income was primarily driven by a $1.4 million gain on the sale of an owned branch reported in the first quarter of 2020; this was related to our branch closures and is not a recurring event, and there was no such gain in the first quarter of 2021.

Trust Department fees consist of fees we receive in connection with our investment advisory and custodial management services of investment accounts. Our Trust Department fees were ~~$3.8~~$3.3 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021, a decrease of ~~$0.3~~$0.7 million, or ~~6.3%~~17.3%, from same period in 2020, which is primarily ~~due~~attributed to the ~~decline in income from our real-estate fund (discussed below) and the movement of funds to lower yielding products, partially offset by increases in the market value of assets.~~low interest rate environment and pressure on fixed income. Our investment management business historically earned fees from a real-estate fund that we have been winding down since 2018 and from which we no longer earn fees beginning in 2021.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Our non-interest income was $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $17.8 million for the same period in 2020, a decrease of $8.5 million, or 47.6%. This decrease is primarily due to a loss of $5.2 million on an equity investment in solar projects compared to a gain of $1.3 million in the comparable period in 2020, a $1.4 million gain on the sale of a branch recorded in other income in the prior period, and a $1.0 million decrease in Trust Department fees primarily attributed to the low

interest rate environment and pressure on fixed income, partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million in gains on the sale of residential loans, which was volume driven, given the year over year growth in our residential loans held for sale portfolio.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense includes compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and depreciation expense, professional fees (including legal, accounting and other professional services), data processing, office maintenance and depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, advertising and promotion, and other expenses.

Our non-interest expense for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 was ~~$32.8~~$31.4 million, an increase of ~~$0.5~~$0.3 million, or ~~1.6%~~1.1%, from ~~$32.3~~$31.1 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to increases in data processing and professional fees ~~and compensation and employee benefits~~ as a result of the modernization of our Trust department and executive officer search, ~~and holding company reorganization, partially~~respectively, offset by ~~a $2.0 million decrease~~decreases in occupancy and depreciation due to realization of cost savings from branch closures in the prior year.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Our non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $64.2 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or 1.3%, from $63.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the increase in professional fees mainly related to ~~closing eight branches~~our holding company formation as well as executive search, an increase in ~~New York City~~data processing driven by the modernization of our Trust Department and increased transaction processing post COVID-19, and an increase in ~~2020.~~other expenses, offset by a decrease in branch occupancy expense attributed to branch closure expenses in the prior year and lower rent expense in the current year.

Income Taxes

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

We had a provision for income tax expense of ~~$4.1~~$3.8 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021, compared to $3.4 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2020. Our effective tax rate for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021 was ~~25.4%~~26.9%, compared to ~~26.3%~~24.9% for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2020. The increase in our effective tax rate was driven by discrete events related to new states that we elected to begin filing taxes and an executive compensation disallowance.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

We had a provision for income tax expense of $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $6.9 million for the same period in 2020. Our effective tax rate was 26.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 25.6% for the same period in 2020. This was driven by the effective tax rate increase in Q2, explained above.

Financial Condition

Balance Sheet

Our total assets were ~~$6.4~~$6.6 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, compared to $6.0 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase of ~~$0.4~~$0.6 billion was driven primarily by a ~~$466.2~~$508.7 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, a ~~$185.9~~$415.3 million increase in investment securities, which was partially offset by a ~~$224.5~~$309.9 million decrease in loans receivable, net.

Investment Securities

The primary goal of our securities portfolio is to maintain an available source of liquidity and an efficient investment return on excess capital, while maintaining a low-risk profile. We also use our securities portfolio to manage interest rate risk, meet Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) goals and to provide collateral for certain types of deposits or borrowings. An Investment Committee chaired by our Chief Financial Officer manages our investment securities portfolio according to written investment policies approved by our Board of Directors. Investments in our securities portfolio may change over time based on management’s objectives and market conditions.

We seek to minimize credit risk in our securities portfolio through diversification, concentration limits, restrictions on high risk investments (such as subordinated positions), comprehensive pre-purchase analysis and stress testing, ongoing monitoring and by investing a significant portion of our securities portfolio in U.S. Government sponsored entity (“GSE”) obligations. GSEs include the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) and the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). GNMA is a wholly-owned U.S. Government corporation whereas FHLMC and FNMA are private. Mortgage-related securities may include mortgage

pass-through certificates, participation certificates and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). We invest in non-GSE securities, including PACE bonds, in order to generate higher returns, improve portfolio diversification and reduce interest rate and prepayment risk. With the exception of small legacy CRA investments, Trust Preferred securities, and certain corporate bonds, all of our non-GSE securities are senior positions that are the top of the capital structure.

Our investment securities portfolio consists of securities classified as available for sale and held to maturity. There were no trading securities in our investment portfolio at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 or at December 31, 2020. All available for sale securities are carried at fair value and may be used for liquidity purposes should management consider it to be in our best interest.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had available for sale securities of ~~$1.7~~$1.8 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. The ~~$149.1~~$284.9 million increase was primarily from the purchase of ~~agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and~~ asset-backed securities (“ABS”).

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, our held to maturity securities portfolio primarily consisted of property assessed clean energy, or PACE bonds, tax-exempt municipal securities, GSE residential certificates and other debt. We carry these securities at amortized cost. We had held to maturity securities of ~~$531.3~~$624.8 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, and $494.4 million at December 31, 2020.

Certain securities have fair values less than amortized cost and, therefore, contain unrealized losses. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, we evaluated those securities which had an unrealized loss for ~~other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”),~~OTTI, and determined ~~substantially~~ all of the decline in value to be temporary. There were $1.1 billion of investment securities with unrealized losses at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 of which none had a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or longer that was greater than 5% of amortized cost. We anticipate full recovery of amortized cost with respect to these securities by the time that these securities mature, or sooner in the case that a more favorable market interest rate environment causes their fair value to increase. We do not intend to sell these securities and we believe it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell them before full recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at the time of their maturity.

The following table is a summary of our investment portfolio, using market value for available for sale securities and amortized cost for held to maturity securities, as of the dates indicated.

Loans

Lending-related income is the most important component of our net interest income and is the main driver of our results of operations. Total loans, net of deferred origination fees and allowance for loan losses, were ~~$3.2~~$3.1 billion as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 compared to $3.4 billion as of December 31, 2020. Within our commercial loan portfolio, our primary focus has been on C&I, multifamily and CRE lending. Within our retail loan portfolio, our primary focus has been on residential 1-4 family (1st lien) mortgages. We intend to focus any organic growth in our loan portfolio on these lending areas as part of our strategic plan.

In the ~~first~~second quarter of 2021, we purchased ~~$34.3~~$33.8 million of solar loans and ~~$24.4~~$16.0 million of commercial loans that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States government.

Commercial loan portfolio

Our commercial loan portfolio comprised 58.7% of our total loan portfolio at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 59.0% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2020. The major categories of our commercial loan portfolio are discussed below:

C&I. Our C&I loans are generally made to small and medium-sized manufacturers and wholesale, retail and service-based businesses to provide either working capital or to finance major capital expenditures. The primary source of repayment for C&I loans is generally operating cash flows of the business. We also seek to minimize risks related to these loans by requiring such loans to be collateralized by various business assets (including inventory, equipment and accounts receivable). The average size of our C&I loans at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 by exposure was $3.5 million with a median size of $1.0 million. We have shifted our lending strategy to focus on developing full customer relationships including deposits, cash management, and lending. The businesses that we focus on are generally mission aligned with our core values, including organic and natural products, sustainable companies, clean energy, nonprofits, and B Corporations TM.

Our C&I loans totaled ~~$612.6~~$619.0 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, which comprised ~~18.8%~~19.5% of our total loan portfolio. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the C&I loan portfolio decreased by ~~9.5%~~8.6% from $677.2 million at December 31, 2020.

Multifamily. Our multifamily loans are generally used to purchase or refinance apartment buildings of five units or more, which collateralize the loan, in major metropolitan areas within our markets. Multifamily loans have ~~78%~~79% of their exposure in New York City—our largest geographic concentration. Our multifamily loans have been underwritten under stringent guidelines on loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios that are designed to mitigate credit and concentration risk in this loan category.

Our multifamily loans totaled ~~$882.2~~$848.7 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, which comprised ~~27.2%~~26.8% of our total loan portfolio. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the multifamily loan portfolio decreased by ~~6.9%~~10.4% from $947.2 million at December 31, 2020.

CRE. Our CRE loans are used to purchase or refinance office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, medical facilities and mixed-used buildings. Included in this total are 2524 borrowers financing owner‑occupied buildings which account for an aggregate total of ~~$43~~$41 million in loans as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.

Our CRE loans totaled ~~$364.3~~$351.7 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, which comprised ~~11.2%~~11.1% of our total loan portfolio. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the CRE loan portfolio decreased by ~~2.3%~~5.6% from $372.7 million at December 31, 2020.

Retail loan portfolio

Our retail loan portfolio comprised 41.3% of our loan portfolio at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 41.0% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2020. The major categories of our retail loan portfolio are discussed below.

Residential real estate lending. Our residential 1-4 family mortgage loans are residential mortgages that are primarily secured by single-family homes, which can be owner occupied or investor owned. These loans are either originated by our loan officers or purchased from other originators with the servicing retained by such originators. Our residential real estate lending portfolio is 99% first mortgage loans and 1% second mortgage loans. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, ~~81%~~82% of our residential 1-4 family mortgage loans were either originated by our loan officers since 2012 or were acquired in our acquisition of NRB, ~~13%~~12% were purchased from two third parties on or after July 2014, and 6% were purchased by us from other originators before 2010. Our residential real estate lending loans totaled $1.1 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, which comprised ~~84.6%~~83.0% of our retail loan portfolio and ~~35.0%~~34.3% of our total loan portfolio. In ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, our residential real estate lending loans decreased by ~~8.1%~~12.3% from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2020.

Consumer and other. Our consumer and other portfolio is comprised of purchased student loans, residential solar loans, unsecured consumer loans and overdraft lines. Our consumer and other loans totaled ~~$206.5~~$222.3 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, which comprised ~~6.3%~~7.0% of our total loan portfolio, compared to $190.7 million, or 5.5% of our total loan portfolio, at December 31, 2020.

Maturities and Sensitivity of Loans to Changes in Interest Rates

The information in the following table is based on the contractual maturities of individual loans, including loans that may be subject to renewal at their contractual maturity. Renewal of these loans is subject to review and credit approval, as well as modification of terms upon maturity. Actual repayments of loans may differ from the maturities reflected below because borrowers have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties. The following tables summarize the loan maturity distribution by type and related interest rate characteristics at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain the allowance at a level we believe is sufficient to absorb probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio given the conditions at the time. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and other factors, including end-of-period loan levels and portfolio composition, observable trends in nonperforming loans, our historical loan losses, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, underwriting practices, adverse situations that may impact a borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value and sufficiency of any underlying collateral, credit risk grade assessments, loan impairment and economic conditions. These evaluations are inherently subjective as they require management to make material estimates, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to expense and decreased by actual charge-offs, net of ~~recoveries of previous amounts charged-off.~~recoveries.

The allowance consists of specific allowances for loans that are individually classified as impaired and general components. Impaired loans include loans placed on nonaccrual status and TDRs. Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreements. When determining if we will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, we consider the borrower’s overall financial condition, resources and payment record, support from guarantors, and the realized value of any collateral. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Impaired loans are individually identified and evaluated for impairment based on a combination of internally assigned risk ratings and a defined dollar threshold. If a loan is impaired, a specific reserve is applied to the loan so that the loan is reported, net, at the

discounted expected future cash flows or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is collateral dependent. Impaired loans which

do not meet the criteria for individual evaluation are evaluated in homogeneous pools of loans with similar risk characteristics. In accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations, there was no allowance brought forward on any of the loans we acquired in our acquisition of NRB. For purchased non-credit impaired loans, credit discounts representing the principal losses expected over the life of the loan are a component of the initial fair value and the discount is accreted to interest income over the life of the loan. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the method used to evaluate the sufficiency of the credit discount is similar to organic loans, and if necessary, additional reserves are recognized in the allowance. At the close of the NRB acquisition, there were no purchase credit impaired loans. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the remaining Mark is ~~$1.5~~$1.3 million. In addition, the ALLL includes ~~$1.9~~$2.0 million on-balance-sheet and ~~$19,000~~$95,000 off-balance-sheet reserves for loan downgrades, increases in usage of lines of credit, construction disbursements and reclassifications of product types subsequent to the acquisition. Since the close of the NRB acquisition, we have charged off $1.5 million of commercial loans and as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, there were ~~$9.4~~$4.1 million of nonaccrual loans.

The following tables presents, by loan type, the changes in the allowance for the periods indicated:

The allowance decreased ~~$4.9~~$3.6 million to ~~$36.7~~$38.0 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 from $41.6 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in loan ~~balances and improvement in the risk rating on one construction loan.~~balances. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, we had ~~$75.6~~$70.6 million of impaired loans for which a specific allowance of ~~$4.9~~$6.3 million was made, compared to $80.5 million of impaired loans at December 31, 2020 for which a specific allowance of ~~$6.2~~$6.2 million was made. The ratio of allowance to total loans was~~1.13%~~ 1.20% for ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 1.19% for December 31, 2020.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets include all loans categorized as nonaccrual or restructured, other real estate owned and other repossessed assets. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued, or the loan is placed on nonaccrual, when the full collection of principal and interest is in doubt. We generally do not accrue interest on loans that are 90 days or more past due (unless we are in the process of collection or an extension and determine that the customer is not in financial difficulty). When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed and charged against interest income and future accruals of interest are discontinued. Payments by borrowers for loans on nonaccrual are applied to loan principal. Loans are returned to accrual status when, in our judgment, the borrower’s ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations under the loan agreement has improved sufficiently to reasonably assure recovery of principal and the borrower has demonstrated a sustained period of repayment performance.

A loan is identified as a troubled debt restructuring, or TDR, when we, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grant a concession to the borrower. The concessions may be granted in various forms, including interest rate reductions, principal forgiveness, extension of maturity date, waiver or deferral of payments and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. A loan that has been restructured as a TDR may not be disclosed as a TDR in years subsequent to the restructuring if certain conditions are met. Generally, a nonaccrual loan that is restructured remains on nonaccrual status for a period no less than six months to demonstrate that the borrower can meet the restructured terms. However, the borrower’s performance prior to the restructuring or other significant events at the time of restructuring may be considered in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and may result in the loan being returned to accrual status after a shorter performance period. If the borrower’s performance under the new terms is not reasonably assured, the loan remains classified as a nonaccrual loan.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced a significant increase in the number of requests for temporary loan modifications. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, we had COVID-19 related loan payment deferrals or deferral requests in process totaling ~~$8.5~~$4.0 million, of which ~~42%~~none were in our commercial portfolio. We have granted these borrowers short-term concessions of three to six months in the form of payment deferrals. According to the interagency guidance and the CARES Act, loans modified during the COVID-19 pandemic are not considered TDRs as long as the borrower was not experiencing financial difficulty before the pandemic and the reason for the deferral is temporary in nature and the loans are expected to continue performing after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following table sets forth our nonperforming assets as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Total nonperforming assets totaled ~~$81.0~~$71.0 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 compared to $82.2 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease in nonperforming assets at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020 was primarily driven by the ~~decrease~~payoff of ~~$4.4~~$11.2 million of non-accruing construction loans, and ~~multifamily~~the decrease of $1.4 million of loans ninety days past due and accruing, partially offset by an increase of ~~$2.7~~$2.1 million of ~~those loans transferring into other real estate owned.~~non-accruing C&I loans.

Potential problem loans are loans which management has doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms. Potential problem loans are performing loans and include our special mention and substandard-accruing commercial loans and/or loans 30-89 days past due. Potential problem loans are not included in the nonperforming assets table above and totaled ~~$287.9~~$283.1 million, or ~~4.5%~~4.3% of total assets, at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, as follows: ~~$274.7~~$280.2 million ~~million~~ are commercial loans currently in workout that management expects will be rehabilitated; $~~6.0~~3.6 million are commercial loans that are current on payments and are reported as 30-89 days past due, in renewal or extension negotiations, and inclusive of ~~workou~~worko~~ts; $9.9~~uts; $3.3 million are residential 1-4 family or retail loans, with ~~$8.7 million~~$408 thousand at 30 days delinquent, and ~~$1.2~~$2.9 million at 60 days delinquent.

Resell Agreements

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, we have entered into ~~$152.3~~$141.7 million of short term investments of resell agreements backed by government guaranteed loans, with a weighted interest rate of 1.56%. As of December 31, 2020, we have entered into $154.8 million of short term investments of resell agreements backed by government guaranteed loans, with a weighted interest rate of 1.25%.

Deferred Tax Asset

We had a deferred tax asset, net of deferred tax liabilities, of ~~$26.1~~$24.3 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and $27.9 million at December 31, 2020. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, our deferred tax assets were fully realizable with no valuation allowance held against the balance. Our management concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that the entire amount will be realized.

We will evaluate the recoverability of our net deferred tax asset on a periodic basis and record decreases (increases) as a deferred tax provision (benefit) in the Consolidated Statements of Income as appropriate.

Deposits

Deposits represent our primary source of funds. We are focused on growing our core deposits through relationship-based banking with our business and consumer clients. Total deposits were ~~$5.7~~$5.9 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, compared to $5.3 billion at December 31, 2020. We believe that our strong deposit franchise is attributable to our mission-based strategy of developing and maintaining relationships with our clients who share similar values and through maintaining a high level of service.

We gather deposits through each of our three branch locations across New York City, our one branch in Washington, D.C., our one branch in San Francisco and through the efforts of our commercial banking team including our Boston group which focuses nationally on business growth. Through our branch network, online, mobile and direct banking channels, we offer a variety of deposit products including demand deposit accounts, money market deposits, NOW accounts, savings and certificates of deposit. We bank politically active customers, such as campaigns, PACs, and state and national party committees, which we refer to as political deposits. These deposits exhibit seasonality based on election cycles. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had approximately ~~$692.0~~$791.3 million and $602.8 million, respectively, in political deposits which are primarily in demand deposits.

Maturities of time certificates of deposit and other time deposits of $100,000 or more outstanding at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 are summarized as follows:

Evaluation of Interest Rate Risk

Our simulation models incorporate various assumptions, which we believe are reasonable but which may have a significant impact on results such as: (1) the timing of changes in interest rates, (2) shifts or rotations in the yield curve, (3) loan and securities prepayment speeds for different interest rate scenarios, (4) interest rates and balances of indeterminate-maturity deposits for different scenarios, and (5) new volume and yield assumptions for loans, securities and deposits. Because of limitations inherent in any approach used to measure interest rate risk, simulation results are not intended as a forecast of the actual effect of a change in market interest rates on our results but rather to better plan and execute appropriate asset-liability management strategies and manage our interest rate risk.

Potential changes to our net interest income and economic value of equity in hypothetical rising and declining rate scenarios calculated as of June 30, 2021 are presented in the following table. The projections assume immediate, parallel shifts downward of the yield curve of 100 basis points and immediate, parallel shifts upward of the yield curve of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points. In the current interest rate environment, a downward shift of the yield curve of 200, 300 and 400 basis points does not provide us with meaningful results and, therefore, is not shown.

The results of this simulation analysis are hypothetical and should not be relied on as indicative of expected operating results. A variety of factors might cause actual results to differ substantially from what is depicted. For example, if the timing and magnitude of interest rate changes differ from those projected, our net interest income might vary significantly. Non-parallel yield curve shifts such as a flattening or steepening of the yield curve or changes in interest rate spreads, would also cause our net

interest income to be different from that depicted. An increasing interest rate environment could reduce projected net interest income if deposits and other short-term liabilities re-price faster than expected or faster than our assets re-price. Actual results could differ from those projected if we grow assets and liabilities faster or slower than estimated, if we experience a net outflow of deposit liabilities or if our mix of assets and liabilities otherwise changes. Actual results could also differ from those projected if we experience substantially different repayment speeds in our loan portfolio than those assumed in the simulation model. Finally, these simulation results do not contemplate all the actions that we may undertake in response to potential or actual changes in interest rates, such as changes to our loan, investment, deposit, funding or hedging strategies.


Change in Market Interest Rates as of June 30, 2021	Estimated Increase (Decrease) in:
Immediate Shift	Economic Value of Equity	Economic Value of Equity ($)	Year 1 Net Interest Income	Year 1 Net Interest Income ($)
+400 basis points	7.9%	77,756	35.1%	61,538

Liquidity

Liquidity refers to our ability to maintain cash flow that is adequate to fund our operations, support asset growth, maintain reserve requirements and meet present and future obligations of deposit withdrawals, lending obligations and other contractual obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or by obtaining additional funding through liability management. Our liquidity risk management policy provides the framework that we use to maintain adequate liquidity and sources of available liquidity at levels that enable us to meet all reasonably foreseeable short-term, long-term and strategic liquidity demands. The Asset and Liability Management Committee is responsible for oversight of liquidity risk management activities in accordance with the provisions of our liquidity risk policy and applicable bank regulatory capital and liquidity laws and regulations. Our liquidity risk management process includes (i) ongoing analysis and monitoring of our funding requirements under various balance sheet and economic scenarios, (ii) review and monitoring of lenders, depositors, brokers and other liability holders to ensure appropriate diversification of funding sources and (iii) liquidity contingency planning to address liquidity needs in the event of unforeseen market disruption impacting a wide range of variables. We continuously monitor our liquidity position in order for our assets and liabilities to be managed in a manner that will meet our immediate and long-term funding requirements. We manage our liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of customers, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of our stockholders. We also monitor our liquidity requirements in light of interest rate trends, changes in the economy, and the scheduled maturity and interest rate sensitivity of our securities and loan portfolios and deposits. Liquidity management is made more complicated because different balance sheet components are subject to varying degrees of management control. For example, the timing of maturities of our investment

portfolio is fairly predictable and subject to a high degree of control when we make investment decisions. Net deposit inflows and outflows, however, are far less predictable and are not subject to the same degree of certainty.

Our liquidity position is supported by management of our liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily to fund on-going operations, including payment of interest on deposits and debt, extensions of credit to borrowers and capital expenditures. These liquidity requirements are met primarily through our deposits, FHLB advances and the principal and interest payments we receive on loans and investment securities. Cash, interest-bearing deposits in third-party banks, securities available for sale and maturing or prepaying balances in our investment and loan portfolios are our most liquid assets. Other sources of liquidity that are available to us include the sale of loans we hold for investment, the ability to acquire additional national market non-core deposits, borrowings through the Federal Reserve’s discount window and the issuance of debt or equity securities. We believe that the sources of available liquidity are adequate to meet our current and reasonably foreseeable future liquidity needs.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, our cash and equivalents, which consist of cash and amounts due from banks and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, amounted to ~~$504.9~~$547.4 million, or ~~7.9%~~8.3% of total assets, compared to $38.8 million, or 0.6% of total assets at December 31, 2020. Our available for sale securities at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 were ~~$1.7~~$1.8 billion, or ~~26.5%~~27.8% of total assets, compared to $1.5 billion, or 25.8% of total assets at December 31, 2020. Investment securities with an aggregate fair value o~~f $103.7~~of $99.8 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 were pledged to secure public deposits and repurchase agreements.

The liability portion of the balance sheet serves as our primary source of liquidity. We plan to meet our future cash needs through the generation of deposits. Customer deposits have historically provided a sizeable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. We are also a member of the FHLB, from which we can borrow for leverage or liquidity purposes. The FHLB requires that securities and qualifying loans be pledged to secure any advances. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, we had no advances from the FHLB and a remaining credit availability of ~~$1.5~~$1.4 billion. In addition, we maintain borrowing capacity of approximately ~~$115.2~~$88.4 million with the Federal Reserve’s discount window that is secured by certain securities from our portfolio which are not pledged for other purposes.

Capital Resources

Total stockholders’ equity at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 was ~~$540.2~~$548.2 million, compared to $535.8 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of ~~$4.4~~$12.4 million. The increase was primarily driven by ~~$12.2~~$22.6 million of net income, partially offset by ~~a $4.0~~$5.0 million of dividends and $1.5 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income due to the mark to market on our securities portfolio and ~~a $0.9~~$3.7 million decrease in additional ~~paid-in-capital.~~paid-in capital, which was primarily driven by $2.5 million of common stock that was purchased as part of the Company's share repurchase program in the first half of 2021.

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by federal banking regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements.

Regulatory capital rules adopted in July 2013 and fully phased in as of January 1, 2019, which are referred to as the Basel III rules, impose minimum capital requirements for bank holding companies and banks. The Basel III rules apply to all national and state banks and savings associations regardless of size and bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies with consolidated assets of more than $3 billion. In order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions or discretionary bonus payments to executives, a covered banking organization must maintain the fully phased in “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% on top of its minimum risk-based capital requirements. This buffer must consist solely of common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital, but the buffer applies to all three measurements (common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital). The capital conservation is equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets.

Investment Obligations

We are party to agreements with Pace Funding Group LLC, or PFG, for the purchase of up to ~~$300~~$375 million of property assessed clean energy, or PACE, assessment securities by the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, the Bank has an additional obligation up to ~~$25~~$100 million for other PACE related purchases. These investments are to be held in ~~our~~the Company's held-to-maturity investment portfolio.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, we had fulfilled ~~$214.5~~$262.6 million of these obligations. As of December 31, 2020, we had fulfilled $165.4 million of our obligation. The PACE assessments have equal-lien priority with property taxes and generally rank senior to first lien mortgages.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in our market risk as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 from that presented in the 2020 Annual Report. ~~The~~Our interest rate sensitivity position at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 is ~~discussed below.~~

~~Evaluation~~set forth in the table labeled “Evaluation of Interest Rate ~~Risk~~

~~Our simulation models incorporate various assumptions, which we believe are reasonable but which may have a significant impact on results such as: (1) the timing~~Risk” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of ~~changes in interest rates, (2) shifts or rotations in the yield curve, (3) loan~~Financial Condition and ~~securities prepayment speeds for different interest rate scenarios, (4) interest rates and balances~~Results of indeterminate-maturity deposits for different scenarios, and (5) new volume and yield assumptions for loans, securities and deposits. Because of limitations inherent in any approach used to measure interest rate risk, simulation results are not intended as a forecast of the actual effect of a change in market interest rates on our results but rather to better plan and execute appropriate asset-liability management strategies and manage our interest rate risk.

Potential changes to our net interest income and economic value of equity in hypothetical rising and declining rate scenarios calculated as of March 31, 2021 are presented in the following table. The projections assume immediate, parallel shifts downward of the yield curve of 100 basis points and immediate, parallel shifts upward of the yield curve of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points. In the current interest rate environment, a downward shift of the yield curve of 200, 300 and 400 basis points does not provide us with meaningful results and, therefore, is not shown.

~~The results~~Operation of this ~~simulation analysis are hypothetical~~Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and should not be relied on as indicative of expected operating results. A variety of factors might cause actual results to differ substantially from what is depicted. For example, if the timing and magnitude of interest rate changes differ from those projected, our net interest income might vary significantly. Non-parallel yield curve shifts such as a flattening or steepening of the yield curve or changes in interest rate spreads, would also cause our net interest income to be different from that depicted. An increasing interest rate environment could reduce projected net interest income if deposits and other short-term liabilities re-price faster than expected or faster than our assets re-price. Actual results could differ from those projected if we grow assets and liabilities faster or slower than estimated, if we experience a net outflow of deposit liabilities or if our mix of assets and liabilities otherwise changes. Actual results could also differ from those projected if we experience substantially different repayment speeds in our loan portfolio than those assumed in the simulation model. Finally, these simulation results do not contemplate all the actions that we may undertake in response to potential or actual changes in interest rates, such as changes to our loan, investment, deposit, funding or hedging strategies.
