PART III -- NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
In connection with the review of RBB Bancorp’s (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) interim financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm identified an adjustment to the Company’s noninterest income and net income during the interim period. The Company received a $5.0 million grant as a part of the Community Development Financial Institution Equitable Recovery Program award (the “Award”) during the interim period, which was previously recorded as noninterest income. The Company had previously announced in its quarterly earnings release that the Company’s noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $7.7 million, which included the full amount of the $5.0 million Award received. The Company subsequently determined that the income recognition should be deferred and not included in noninterest income for the interim period. As a result, the Company’s noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.8 million, and its net income for the interim period was $8.5 million instead of the $12.0 million previously announced in the Company’s quarterly earnings release.
Management of the Company and the Company’s independent public accounting firm re-evaluated the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to infrequent transactions such as the income recognition for the Award and concluded that a material weakness existed in that area. As a result, management of the Company determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023.
Because the adjustment was identified one day before the planned filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”), the Company was unable to adequately and timely address the adjustment within the Form 10-Q without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company expects to file the Form 10-Q no later than the November 14, 2023 expiration of the extension period.
The Company has provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to its independent registered public accounting firm.
Forward-Looking Statements
This filing contains a number of forward-looking statements. Words such as "expect," "will," "working," and variations of such words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our beliefs and expectations relating to the filing of the Form 10-Q.
