SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Overview
USCB Financial Holdings,
Inc., a Florida
corporation incorporated
in 2021, is
a bank holding
company with
one
direct
wholly owned subsidiary,
U.S. Century Bank (the “Bank”), together referred to as “the Company”.
The Bank, established in
2002, is a Florida state-chartered,
non-member financial institution providing
financial services through its
banking centers
located in South Florida.
The Bank
owns a
subsidiary,
Florida Peninsula
Title LLC,
that offers
our clients
title insurance
policies for
real estate
transactions closed at the Bank. Licensed in the State of Florida and approved by the Department of Insurance Regulation,
Florida Peninsula Title LLC began operations
in 2021.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to
Form 10-Q and
do not include all
the information and
footnotes required by U.S.
generally accepted accounting
principles
(“U.S.
GAAP”)
for
complete
financial
statements.
All
adjustments
consisting
of
normally
recurring
accruals
that,
in
the
opinion
of
management,
are
necessary
for
a
fair
presentation
of
the
financial
position
and
results
of
operations
for
the
periods presented
have been
included. These
unaudited consolidated
financial statements
should be
read in
conjunction
with the Company’s audited
consolidated financial statements and
related notes appearing in
the Company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
The
Company
consolidates
entities
in
which
it
has
a
controlling
financial
interest.
Intercompany
transactions
and
balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
To
prepare
consolidated
financial
statements
in
conformity
with
U.S.
GAAP,
management
makes
estimates
and
assumptions
based
on
available
information.
These
estimates
and
assumptions
affect
the
amounts
reported
in
the
consolidated financial statements.
The most
significant estimate impacting
the Company’s consolidated
financial statements
is the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”).
Reclassifications
Certain
amounts
in
prior
period
consolidated
financial
statements
have
been
reclassified
to
conform
to
the
current
presentation. Reclassifications had no impact on prior period
net income or stockholders’ equity.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
There were no
recently issued accounting
standards adopted or
issued during the
period that are
expected to have
a
material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

other comprehensive
loss (“AOCL”) and
in the carrying
value of the
HTM securities
and there is
no impact to
net income.
Such amounts
are amortized
over the
remaining life
of the security.
The Company
made
two
transfers from
AFS to
HTM
portfolios in 2022.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, there were
no
investment securities that were transferred from AFS to HTM.
For three months ended March 31, 2026, total amortization
out of AOCL for net unrealized losses on securities
transferred
in 2022 from AFS to HTM
was $
68
thousand and $
67
thousand for the three months
ended March 31, 2025. At
March 31,
2026, the fair value
of the transferred securities
was $
96.1
million and the balance
of the remaining unamortized
loss was
$
8.9
million.
The measurement of expected credit losses under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology is applicable
to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including
loan receivables and HTM debt securities.
CECL requires a loss reserve for securities
classified as HTM. The reserve should reflect
historical credit performance
as well
as the impact
of projected
economic forecasts. For
U.S. Government bonds
and U.S.
Agency issued bonds
classified
as HTM, the explicit guarantee of the
U.S. Government is sufficient
to conclude that an allowance for
credit loss reserve is
not
required.
The
reserve
requirement
is
for
three
primary
assets
groups:
municipal
bonds,
corporate
bonds,
and
non-
agency securitizations. The Company
calculates quarterly the loss reserve
utilizing Moody’s ImpairmentStudio.
The CECL
measurement
for
investment
securities
incorporates
historical
data,
containing
defaults
and
recoveries
information,
and
Moody’s baseline
economic forecast.
The solution
uses the probability
of default/loss
given default (“PD/LGD”)
approach.
PD represents
the likelihood
a borrower
will default.
Within the
Moody’s model,
this is
determined using
historical default
data, adjusted for the current economic environment. LGD projects
the expected loss if a borrower were to default.
The Company
monitors the credit
quality of HTM
securities through the
use of
credit ratings. Credit
ratings are monitored
by the Company on at least
a quarterly basis. As of March 31, 2026
and December 31, 2025, all HTM securities held by
the
Company were rated investment grade.
At March 31,
2026, HTM
securities
included $
141.9
million of
U.S. Government
and U.S.
Agency issued
bonds and
mortgage-backed
securities.
Because
of
the
explicit
and/or
implicit
guarantee
on
these
bonds,
the
Company
holds
no
reserves
on these
holdings.
The remaining
portion of
the HTM
portfolio
is made
up of
$
8.0
million
in investment
grade
corporate bonds that mature in May of
- The required reserve for these holdings
is determined each quarter using the
model
described
above.
For
the
portion
of
the
HTM
exposed
to
non-government
credit
risk,
the
Company
utilized
the
PD/LGD methodology
to estimate
a $
0
ACL as
of March
31, 2026.
The book
value for
debt securities
classified as
HTM
represents amortized cost less the ACL related to these securities.
The Company’s investment portfolio
includes AFS debt securities, which
are carried at fair value with unrealized
gains
and losses
recognized
in
AOCL, net
of applicable
taxes.
The Company
evaluates
whether the
declines
in fair
value
are
attributable to credit losses or other factors like interest rate risk, using both quantitative and qualitative
analyses, including
company performance analysis, review
of credit ratings, bond
vintage, remaining payment terms,
prepayment speeds and
analysis
of
macro-economic
conditions.
When
the
fair
value
of
an
AFS
security
is
less
than
its
amortized
cost
and
the
decline is attributable
to credit-related
factors, an ACL
is recorded. As
a result of
this evaluation, the
Company concluded
that no allowance was required on AFS securities as of
March 31, 2026.

The contractual
cash flows
associated with
U.S. Government
Agency securities,
collateralized
mortgage obligations,
and residential
and commercial
mortgage-backed
securities
are guaranteed
by U.S.
government-sponsored
enterprises,
thereby minimizing
credit risk.
Municipal bonds
are of
high credit
quality,
and the
observed declines
in fair
value are
not
attributable
to
a
deterioration
in
the
creditworthiness.
Similarly,
the
decrease
in
fair
value
of
bank
subordinated
debt
securities
is
primarily
driven
by
changes
in
market
interest
rates
rather
than
credit
concerns.
Based
on
management’s
evaluation
of these
factors,
management
believes
that
the unrealized
losses
on these
debt
securities
are attributable
to
fluctuations in market spreads and interest rate movements, rather than adverse changes in the underlying credit quality of
the issuers.

Allowance for Credit Losses
In
general,
the
Company
utilizes
the
Discounted
Cash
Flow
(“DCF”)
method
or
the
Weighted-Average
Remaining
Maturity (“WARM”) methodology to estimate the
quantitative portion of the ACL
for loan pools. The
DCF method uses a loss
driver analysis
(“LDA”) and
DCF analysis.
Management engaged
advisors and
consultants
with expertise
in CECL model
development to
assist in
development of
a LDA
based on
regression models
and supportable
forecast. Peer
group data
obtained
from
FFIEC
Call
Report
filings
is
used to
inform
regression
analyses
to
quantify
the
impact
of reasonable
and
supportable
forecasts
in
projective
models.
Economic
forecasts
applied
to
regression
models
to
estimate
probability
of
default for loan receivables use at least
one of the following economic indicators: civilian unemployment rate (national), real
gross domestic
product growth
(national GDP)
or the
House Price
Index (“HPI”).
For each
of the
segments
in which
the
WARM methodology is used,
the long-term average
loss rate is
calculated and applied
on a quarterly
basis for the
remaining
life of the pool. Adjustments for economic expectations are
made through qualitative factors.
Qualitative factors (“Q-Factors”) used in the ACL methodology
include:
•
Changes in lending policies, procedures, and strategies
•
Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic
conditions
•
Changes in nature and volume of the portfolio
•
Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans
and other similar conditions
•
Concentration risk
•
Changes in the value of underlying collateral
•
The effect of other external factors: e.g., competition,
legal, and regulatory requirements
•
Changes in lending management, among others
•
Changes in the loan review system

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company grades loans based on the estimated capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligation of the
loan agreement based
on relevant information
which may
include: current financial
information on the
borrower,
historical
payment
experience,
credit
documentation
and
other
current
economic
trends.
Internal
credit
risk
grades
are
evaluated
periodically.
The Company's internally assigned credit risk grades are as follows:
Pass
– Loans indicate different levels of satisfactory
financial condition and performance.
Special Mention
– Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness
that deserves management’s
close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses
may result in deterioration of the repayment
prospects for the loan or of the institution’s
credit position at some future date.
Substandard
– Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected
by the current net worth and paying
capacity of the obligator or of the collateral pledged, if
any. Loans so classified
have a well-defined weakness or
weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.
They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the
institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are
not corrected.
Doubtful
– Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent
in those classified at substandard, with
the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection
or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing
facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss
– Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible.

Management evaluates
on an individual
basis collateral
dependent loans
using the fair
value of the
collateral method
to determine
if a
allowance for
credit loss
reserve is
necessary.
The ACL
is measured
based on
the difference
of the
fair
value of
the collateral
and amortized
cost basis
of the
loan. If
the final
collateral valuation
is less
than the
amortized cost
basis of
the loan,
a reserve
amount is
calculated. If
the collateral
valuation is
equal to
or greater
than the
amortized cost
basis of the loan, no reserve is determined.

The Company
has approximately
$
17.4
million of
state net
operating loss
carryforwards expiring
in various
amounts
between 2032 and 2036 and which are limited to offset,
to the extent permitted, future taxable earnings of the
Company.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some
portion or
all of
the deferred
tax assets
will not
be realized.
The ultimate
realization
of deferred
tax assets
is dependent
upon the generation of
future taxable income
during the periods
in which those temporary
differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal
of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable
income, and tax planning
strategies in making this assessment.
The major tax
jurisdictions where the
Company files income
tax returns are
the U.S. federal
jurisdiction and
the State
of Florida. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax return examinations
by tax authorities for years before 2022.
For the three months
ended March 31, 2026
and 2025 the
Company did
no
t have any
unrecognized tax benefits
as a
result of
tax positions
taken during
a prior
period or
during the
current period.
Additionally,
no
interest or
penalties
were
recorded as a result of tax uncertainties.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to
meet the financial
needs of
its customers
and to reduce
its own
exposure to
fluctuations in
interest rates.
These financial
instruments
include
unfunded
commitments
under
lines
of
credit,
commitments
to
extend
credit,
and
standby
and
commercial letters
of credit.
Those instruments involve,
to varying
degrees, elements of
credit and
interest rate
risk in
excess
of the amount recognized
in the Company’s
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company uses the
same credit policies in
making commitments and conditional obligations as it
does for on-balance sheet instruments.
The Company's exposure
to credit loss
in the event
of nonperformance by
the other party
to the financial
instruments
for unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit is
represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.

$

Commitments to
extend credit
are agreements
to lend
to a
customer as
long as
there is
no violation
of any
condition
established in the contract. Commitments generally have
fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.
Unfunded lines of
credit and revolving
credit lines are
commitments for possible
future extensions
of credit to
existing
customers. These lines of
credit are uncollateralized and
usually do not contain
a specified maturity date
and ultimately may
not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company
committed.
Standby
and
commercial
letters
of
credit
are
conditional
commitments
issued
by
the
Company
to
guarantee
the
performance of a
customer to
a third
party. Those letters of
credit are
primarily issued to
support public and
private borrowing
arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit have fixed maturity dates and since
many of them expire without being drawn
upon, they do not generally present a significant liquidity
risk to the Company.

DERIVATIVES
The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements
as part of its asset-liability management strategy to help
manage
its interest rate
risk exposure. The notional
amount of the interest
rate swaps does not
represent actual amounts exchanged
by the
parties.
The amounts
exchanged
are determined
by reference
to the
notional amount
and the
other
terms
of the
individual interest rate swap agreements.
Interest Rate Swaps Designated as a Cash Flow Hedge
As of March
31, 2026,
the Company
had
two
costless collar
hedges with
a notional
amount of
$
100
million that
were
designated as cash flow hedges of two three-month brokered CDs. The derivatives
are based on the USD SOFR overnight
index and
have a
weighted average
cap rate
of
4.50
% and
weighted average
floor rate
of
1.763
%, effectively
creating a
defined range of interest rate outcomes without requiring an upfront premium. The
costless collar hedges have an average
maturity of
1.29
years.
As of
December 31,
2025, the
Company
had
two
costless
collar hedges
with
a notional
amount of
$
100
million
that
were
designated
as
cash
flow
hedge
of
two
three-month
brokered
CDs.
The
derivatives
are
based
on
the
USD
SOFR
overnight
index and
have
a weighted
average cap
rate of
4.50
% and
weighted
average floor
rate
of
1.763
%, effectively
creating a defined range of interest rate outcomes without requiring an upfront
premium. The costless collar hedges had an
average maturity of
1.54
years.
As of
March 31, 2026,
the Company
had
one
interest rate
swap agreement
with a
notional aggregate
amount of
$
25
million that
was designated
as a
cash flow
hedge of
a certificate
of deposit.
Under the
agreement, the
Company pays
a
fixed rate
of
3.47
% and
receives a
variable rate
based on
the weighted
‑
average three
‑
months compounded
USD SOFR.
The swap has a remaining maturity of
0.12
years.
As of
December 31,
2025, the
Company had
one
interest rate
swap agreement
with a
notional aggregate
amount of
$
25
million that was designated
as cash flow hedge
of a certificate of deposit.
Under the agreement, the
Company pays a
fixed rate
of
3.47
% and
receives a
variable rate
based on
the weighted
‑
average three
‑
months compounded
USD SOFR.
The swap had a maturity of
0.42
years. The Company unwound
one
interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge of
certificate
of
deposit
with
notional
amount
of
$
25
million
during
the
quarter
ended
December
31,
2025.
The
decision
to
unwind
this
swap
was
driven by
changes
in
interest
rate
forecasts
and
asset-liability
management
strategies.
The
early
termination income to
unwind the fair value
swaps totaled $
5
thousand. The original
maturity of the cash
flow interest rate
swap was April 2026.
The changes
in fair
value of
these interest
rate swaps
are recorded
in other
assets or
accrued interest
and other
liabilities
with
a
corresponding
recognition
in
other
comprehensive
income
(loss)
and
subsequently
reclassified
to
earnings
when
gains or losses are realized.

Interest Rate Swaps
The Company enters into
interest rate swaps
with its loan
customers. The Company had
113
and
94
interest rate swaps
with
loan
customers
with
an
aggregate
notional
amount
of
$
370.1
million
and
$
310.8
million
at
March 31,

these
interest
rate
swaps
mature
between
2026
and
2051.
The
Company entered
into corresponding
and offsetting
derivatives with
third parties.
The fair
value of
the liability
created by
these derivatives requires the Company to
provide the counterparty with funds to be
held as collateral which the Company
reports as other assets under the Consolidated Balance
Sheets. While these derivatives represent economic
hedges, they
do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes.

FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENTS
Determination of Fair Value
The Company
uses
fair value
measurements
to record
fair-value
adjustments
to certain
assets
and liabilities
and to
determine fair value
disclosures. In accordance
with the fair
value measurements
accounting guidance, the
fair value of
a
financial instrument is 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.
Fair value
is best
determined based
upon quoted
market prices.
However, in
many instances, there
are no quoted
market prices for the
Company's various financial
instruments. In cases
where quoted
market prices
are not
available, fair
values are
based on
estimates using
present value
or other
valuation
techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates
of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in
an immediate settlement of the instrument.
The fair
value guidance provides
a consistent definition
of fair
value, which focuses
on exit
price in
an orderly transaction
(that is,
not a
forced
liquidation
or distressed
sale) between
market participants
at the
measurement
date
under current
market conditions.
If there
has been
a significant
decrease
in the
volume
and level
of activity
for the
asset
or liability,
a
change in
valuation technique or
the use
of multiple
valuation techniques may
be appropriate.
In such
instances, determining
the
price
at
which
willing
market
participants
would
transact
at
the
measurement
date
under
current
market
conditions
depends on the facts
and circumstances and
requires the use of
significant judgment. The fair
value is a reasonable
point
within the range that is most representative of fair value under
current market conditions.
Fair Value Hierarchy
In accordance with
this guidance, the
Company groups its
financial assets
and financial liabilities
generally measured
at fair
value in
three
levels, based
on the
markets
in which
the assets
and liabilities
are traded,
and the
reliability
of the
assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1
- Valuation
is based
on quoted
prices in
active markets
for identical
assets or
liabilities that
the reporting
entity has
the ability
to access
at the measurement
date. Level
1 assets
and liabilities
generally include
debt and
Table of Contents

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited
25
USCB Financial Holdings, Inc.
Q1 2026 Form 10-Q
equity securities that
are traded in
an active exchange
market. Valuations are obtained from
readily available pricing
sources for market transactions involving identical assets
or liabilities.
Level 2
- Valuation
is based on inputs other
than quoted prices included
within Level 1 that are
observable for the
asset
or
liability,
either
directly
or
indirectly.
The
valuation
may
be
based
on
quoted
prices
for
similar
assets
or
liabilities; quoted
prices in
markets that are
not active;
or other inputs
that are observable
or can be
corroborated
by observable market data for substantially the full term of the
asset or liability.
Level 3
- Valuation
is based on
unobservable inputs that
are supported
by little or
no market activity
and that are
significant
to
the
fair
value
of
the
assets
or
liabilities.
Level
3
assets
and
liabilities
include
financial
instruments
whose value
is determined
using pricing
models, discounted
cash
flow
methodologies,
or similar
techniques,
as
well as instruments for which determination of fair value
requires significant management judgment or estimation.
A
financial
instrument's
categorization
within
the
valuation
hierarchy
is
based
upon
the
lowest
level
of
input
that
is
significant to the fair value measurement.
Items Measured at Fair Value
on a Recurring Basis
AFS investment securities:
When instruments are traded in
secondary markets and quoted market
prices do not exist
for such securities,
management generally relies
on prices obtained
from independent vendors
or third-party broker-dealers.
Management reviews pricing methodologies provided by the vendors and third-party broker-dealers in order to determine if
observable market information is being utilized. Securities measured with pricing provided by independent vendors or
third-
party broker-dealers
are classified within
Level 2 of
the hierarchy
and often
involve using quoted
market prices
for similar
securities, pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses
utilizing inputs observable in the market where available.
Derivatives:
The
fair
values
of
derivatives
are
measured
with
pricing
provided
by
third-party
participants
and
are
classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy.
The
following
table
represents
the
Company's
assets
and
liabilities

Dividends
Declaration of
dividends by
the Board
of Directors
is required
before dividend
payments are
made. The
Company is
limited in
the amount
of cash
dividends that
it may
pay.
Payment of
dividends is
generally limited
to the
Company’s
net
income for the current year combined with the Company’s
retained income for the preceding two years, as defined by state
banking
regulations.
However,
for
any
dividend
declaration,
the
Company
must
consider
additional
factors
such
as
the
amount of current
period net income,
liquidity,
asset quality,
capital adequacy
and economic
conditions at the
Bank since
the Bank is the
primary source of
funds to fund dividends
paid by the Company.
It is likely that
these factors would
further
limit the
amount of
dividends which
the Company
could legally
declare. In
addition, bank
regulators have
the authority
to
prohibit banks and bank holding companies
from paying dividends if they deem such
payment to be an unsafe or unsound
practice.
As of March 31, 2026, the
Company was not subject to any
formal supervisory restrictions on its ability
to pay dividends
but will notify the Federal
Reserve Bank of Atlanta
in advance of any proposed
dividend to the Company's
stockholders in
light of the Bank's negative retained earnings. In addition, under applicable FDIC regulations and policy,
because the Bank
has negative retained
earnings, it must
obtain the prior
approval of the
FDIC before effecting a
cash dividend or other
capital
distribution from the Bank to the Company.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings
per
share
(“EPS”)
for
common
stock
is
calculated
using
the
two-class
method
required
for
participating
securities.
Basic
EPS
is
calculated
by
dividing
net
income
available
to
common
shareholders
by
the
weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding for
the period, without consideration for common
stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is
computed by dividing
net income
available to common
shareholders by the
weighted-average number
of common shares
outstanding for
the period
and the
weighted-average number of
dilutive common stock
equivalents outstanding
for the
period
determined using the treasury-stock
method. For purposes of this
calculation, common stock equivalents
include common
stock options which are only included in the calculation
of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive.
The following table reflects the calculation of net income

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The consolidated
financial statements
are prepared
based on
the application
of U.S.
Generally Accepted
Accounting
Practices (“GAAP”),
the most significant
of which are
described in Note
1 “Summary
of Significant Accounting
Policies” in
the Company’s 2025
Form 10-K and
“Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies”
in Part I in
this Form 10-Q.
To
prepare
consolidated
financial
statements
in
conformity
with
US
GAAP,
management
makes
estimates,
assumptions,
and
judgments based
on available
information. These
estimates, assumptions,
and judgments
affect the
amounts reported
in
the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying
notes. These estimates,
assumptions, and judgments
are based
on information
available as
of the
date of
the financial
statements and,
as this
information changes,
actual results
could
differ
from
the
estimates,
assumptions
and
judgments
reflected
in
the
consolidated
financial
statements.
In
particular,
management has
identified accounting
policies that,
due to
the estimates,
assumptions and
judgments inherent
in those
policies,
are
critical
to
an
understanding
of
our
consolidated
financial
statements.
Management
has
presented
the
application of these policies to the Audit and Risk Committee of
our Board of Directors.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This
Form
10-Q
includes
financial
information
determined
by
methods
other
than
in
accordance
with
GAAP.
This
financial
information
includes
certain
operating
performance
measures.
Management
has
included
these
non-GAAP
measures because it believes these measures
may provide useful supplemental information
for evaluating the Company’s
underlying performance
trends. Further,
management
uses these
measures in
managing and
evaluating
the Company’s
business
and
intends
to
refer
to
them
in
discussions
about
our
operations
and
performance.
Operating
performance
measures should be
viewed in addition to,
and not as
an alternative to
or substitute for, measures determined in
accordance
with GAAP,
and are
not necessarily
comparable to
non-GAAP measures
that may
be presented
by other
companies. To
the extent applicable,
reconciliations of
these non-GAAP
measures to the
most directly comparable
GAAP measures
can
be found
in the
section “Reconciliation
and Management
Explanation of
Non-GAAP Financial
Measures” included
in this
Form 10-Q.
Segment Reporting
Management monitors the revenue streams for all its various
products and services. The identifiable segments are not
material
and
operations
are
managed
and
financial
performance
is
evaluated
on
an
overall
Company-wide
basis.
Accordingly, all
the financial service
operations are
considered by management
to be
aggregated in one
reportable operating
segment.

The Company’s
results
of

depend
substantially
on
the
levels
of
our
net
interest
income
and
non-interest
income. Other factors contributing
to the results of
operations include our provision for
credit losses, the level
of non-interest
expense, and the provision for income taxes.
Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2025
Net income increased
$1.7 million to
$9.4 million for the
three months ended
March 31, 2026
from $7.7 million
for the
same period
in 2025. The
$1.7 million
or 22.1%
increase in
the net
income was
primarily driven
by higher
income from
a
larger loan portfolio combined with a reduction
on rates paid of interest-bearing liabilities
between periods. The increase in
net interest income was partially offset by an increase in
non-interest expense between periods.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income
is the difference
between interest
earned on interest-earning
assets and interest
paid on interest-
bearing liabilities
and is
the primary
driver of
core earnings.
Interest income
is generated
from interest
and dividends
on
interest-earning
assets,
including
loans,
investment
securities
and
other
short-term
investments.
Interest
expense
is
incurred from interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, including interest
-bearing deposits, FHLB advances,
subordinated
debt, and other borrowings.
To evaluate net
interest income, we
measure and monitor
(i) yields on
loans and other
interest-earning assets, (ii)
the
costs of deposits
and other funding
sources, (iii) net
interest spread, and
(iv) net interest margin.
Net interest spread is
equal
to the difference between yields 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 indirect benefit of these
non-interest-bearing funding sources.
Changes
in
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 and 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.
Our
asset liability committee
(“ALCO”) has
in place asset-liability
management techniques
to manage major
factors that
affect
net interest income and net interest margin.

primarily driven
by
higher income from a
larger loan portfolio
and a reduction in
the weighted average
rates paid on interest-bearing
liabilities
between periods.
The NIM
was
3.27%
for the
three months
ended
March 31,
2026 and
3.10%
for
the same
period
in 2025.
The NIM
expansion of 17 basis
points reflects primarily
the increase in the
loan portfolio average balance
,
along with a decrease
in
the weighted average interest rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities, particularly in savings and money market deposits.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses represents a charge to
earnings necessary to maintain an allowance for
credit losses at
a level that,
in management's evaluation,
is adequate to
provide coverage for
all expected credit
losses. The provision for
credit losses is impacted by variations in the size and composition of our loan and debt securities portfolio, recent historical
and
projected
future
economic
conditions,
our
internal
assessment
of
the
credit
quality
of
the
loan
and
debt
securities
portfolios and net charge-offs.

Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months

The
provision
for
credit
losses
was
$801
thousand
for
the
three
months
ended
March 31,
2026
compared
to
$681
thousand for the same period in 2025. The increase in the provision
for credit losses was due to loan portfolio growth.
Non-Interest Income
Our services and products generate service charges and fees, mainly from our depository
accounts. We also generate
income from gain on
sale of loans though
the SBA 7a loan program
and the monetization
of fees earned through
our loan
swap program. In
addition, we own
and are beneficiaries
of the
life insurance policies
covering certain of
our key employees,
which policies generate income from the increase in the
cash surrender values.

Non-interest income for the

thousand or 11.7%, compared to
the
same period in 2025. This increase
was primarily driven by $1.5 million increase in income

The increase was primarily driven by
an increase of $934

benefits,
consisting
of
$412
thousand
related
to
merit
increases
and
new
full-time
employee
salaries,

increase
in

and $181
thousand
increase in

expense. In
addition, consulting
and
legal fees
increased $368
thousand,
primarily due
to model
validation-related consulting
expenses and
human resources
consulting
costs. Other
non-interest
expenses
increased
by $207
thousand,
driven by
a $60
thousand
increase
in FDIC
insurance expense and $183 thousand increase in promotional
expenses between periods.
Provision for Income Tax
Fluctuations in the effective tax rate reflect the effect of the differences in the inclusion or deductibility of certain income
and expenses for
income tax purposes.
Therefore, future
decisions on the
investments we choose
will affect our
effective
tax rate.
The cash
surrender value
of bank-owned
life insurance
policies covering
key employees,
purchasing municipal
bonds, and overall levels of taxable income will be important
elements in determining our effective tax rate.

Investment Securities
The investment portfolio
is used and
managed to provide
liquidity through cash
flows, marketability
and, if necessary,
collateral for
borrowings. The
investment portfolio
is also
used as
a tool
to manage
interest rate
risk and
the Company’s
capital
market
risk
exposure.
The
philosophy
of
the
portfolio
is
to
maximize
the
Company’s
profitability
taking
into
consideration the
Company’s risk
appetite and
tolerance, manage
its asset
composition and
diversification, and
maintain
adequate risk-based capital ratios.
The investment portfolio
is managed in accordance
with the Board approved
Asset and Liability
Management (“ALM”)
policy,
which
includes
investment
guidelines.
Such
policy
is
reviewed
at
least
annually
or
more
frequently
if
deemed
necessary,
depending on
market conditions
and/or unexpected
events. The investment
portfolio composition
is subject to
change depending on the funding and liquidity needs of the Company, and the interest risk management objective directed
by
the
Asset-Liability
Committee
(“ALCO”).
The
portfolio
of
investments
also
can
be
used
to
modify
the
duration
of
the
balance
sheet.
The
allocation
of
cash
into
securities
takes
into
consideration
anticipated
future
cash
flows
(uses
and
sources) and all available sources of credit.
Our investment portfolio consists primarily of
securities issued by the U.S.
Government and U.S. Government Agencies
and
mortgage-backed
securities,
collateralized
mortgage
obligations,
corporate
bonds,
municipal
securities,
other
debt
securities
all
with
varying
contractual
maturities
and
coupons.
Due
to
the
optionality
embedded
in
these
securities,
the
contractual maturities do not necessarily represent the
expected life of the portfolio. Some of these securities
will be called
or paid down
prior to maturity
depending on capital market
conditions and expectations. The
investment portfolio is
regularly
reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer,
Treasurer,
and the ALCO of the Company to ensure an appropriate risk and return
profile as well as for adherence to the Company’s
investment policies.
When evaluating AFS
debt securities under
ASC Topic
326, the Company
evaluates
whether the decline
in fair value
is attributable
to credit losses
or other
factors like interest
rate risk,
using both quantitative
and qualitative
analyses, including
company performance analysis, review of credit ratings, vintage bonds, remaining payment terms, prepayment speeds and
analysis
of
macro-economic
conditions.
As
a
result
of
this
evaluation,
the
Company
concluded
that
no
allowance
was
required on AFS securities as of March 31, 2026.
At
quarter
end,
HTM
securities
included
$141.9
million
of
U.S.
Government
and
U.S.
Government
Agencies
issued
bonds and
mortgage-backed
securities.
Because
of the
explicit and/or
implicit
guarantee
on these
bonds,
the
Company
holds no reserves
on these holdings.
The remaining portion
of the HTM
portfolio is made
up of $8.0
million in investment
grade corporate
bonds that
mature in
May of
- Using
the PD/LGD
methodology and
considering the
short remaining
maturity of
the HTM
securities exposed to
non
‑
government credit risk,
the Company
estimated an
allowance for credit
losses
(“ACL”) of
$0 as
of March 31,
- The
book value
for debt
securities classified
as HTM
represents amortized
cost less
ACL.
Aggregate
AFS
and
HTM
investment
securities
decreased
$34.3 million
to
$427.1 million
at
March 31,
2026
from
$461.4 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to $38.2 million
of AFS securities sold during
the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Loans
Loans are the
largest category of
interest-earning assets
on the unaudited
Consolidated Balance
Sheets, and usually
provide higher yields than the
remainder of the interest
-earning assets. Higher yields
typically carry greater
inherent credit
and liquidity risks in comparison to lower yield assets. The Company manages and mitigates such risks in accordance with
the credit and ALM policies, risk tolerance and balance
sheet composition.

March 31, 2026.
Our loan
growth strategy
since inception
has
been reflective of the market in which we operate and
of our strategic plan as approved by the Board.
The growth experienced in recent
years is primarily due to
implementation of our relationship-based banking model
and
the success of our relationship managers in competing for new business in a highly competitive metropolitan area. Many of
our
larger

clients
have
long-term

relationship
managers that date back to former institutions.

The information
presented
in the
table above
is based
upon the
contractual
maturities of
the individual
loans, which
may be
subject to
renewal at
their contractual
maturity.
Renewals will
depend on
approval by
our credit
department and
balance sheet
composition at the
time of
the analysis,
as well
as any
modification of terms
at the
loan’s maturity. Additionally,
maturity
concentrations,
loan
duration,
prepayment
speeds
and
other
interest
rate
sensitivity
measures
are
discussed,
reviewed, and analyzed by the ALCO. Decisions on term
/rate modifications are discussed as well.
As of
March 31, 2026,
approximately 63.1%
of the
loan portfolio
has adjustable/variable
rates and
36.9% of
the loan

fixed
rates.
The
adjustable/variable
rate
loans
re-price
to
different
benchmarks
and

and
in
different
periods of time. By contractual characteristics, there are no
material concentrations on anniversary repricing.

Asset Quality
Our asset quality grading
analysis estimates the capability of
the borrower to repay
the contractual obligation of
the loan
agreement as scheduled or at all. The Company’s internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly
graded loans. Internal credit
risk grades are reviewed
at least once a
year, and
more frequently as
needed. Internal credit
risk ratings
may change
based on
management’s
assessment of
the results
from the
annual review,
portfolio monitoring,
and other developments observed with borrowers.
The internal credit risk grades used by the Company to
assess the credit worthiness of a loan are shown below:
Pass
– Loans indicate different levels of satisfactory
financial condition and performance.
Special Mention
– Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness
that deserves management’s
close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses
may result in deterioration of the repayment
prospects for the loan or of the institution’s
credit position at some future date.
Substandard
– Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected
by the current net worth and paying
capacity of the obligator or of the collateral pledged, if
any. Loans so classified
have a well-defined weakness or
weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.
They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the
institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are
not corrected.
Doubtful
– Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent
in those classified at substandard, with
the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection
or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing
facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss
– Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible.
Loan credit exposures by internally assigned grades are

Non-performing
assets
include
all
loans
categorized
as
non-accrual,
other
real
estate
owned
(“OREO”)
and
other
repossessed assets. Problem loans for
which the collection or
liquidation in full is
reasonably uncertain are placed on
a non-
accrual status. This determination is based on current existing facts concerning collateral values and the paying
capacity of
the
borrower.
When
the
collection
of
the
full
contractual
balance
is
unlikely,
the
loan
is
placed
on
non-accrual
to
avoid
overstating the Company’s income for a loan
with increased credit risk.
If the
principal or
interest on
a commercial
loan becomes
due and
unpaid for
90 days
or more,
the loan
is placed
on
non-accrual status as of
the date it becomes
90 days past due
and remains in non-accrual
status until it meets
the criteria
for restoration to accrual status.
Residential loans, on
the other hand, are placed
on non-accrual status when
the principal
or interest
becomes due
and unpaid
for 120
days or
more and remains
in non-accrual
status until
it meets
the criteria
for
restoration
to
accrual
status.
Restoring
a
loan
to
accrual
status
is
possible
when
the
borrower
resumes
payment
of
all
principal and interest payments for a period of six consecutive months and the Company
has a documented expectation of
repayment of the remaining contractual principal and interest or the loan becomes secured and in the process of collection.
The
Company
may
grant
a
loan
concession
to
a
borrower
experiencing
financial
difficulties.
This
determination
is
performed
during
the
annual
review
process
or
whenever
problems
surface
regarding
the
borrower’s
ability
to
repay
in
accordance with
the original
terms of
the loan
or line
of credit.
The concessions
are given
to the
debtor in
various forms,
including interest rate reductions, principal
forgiveness, extension of maturity date,
waiver or deferral of
payments and other
concessions intended to minimize potential losses.
For further discussion of
non-performing loans and
borrowers experiencing financial
difficulties, see
Note 3 “Loans” to
the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item
1 of Part 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The
ACL
on
loans
represents
an
amount
that,
in
management's
evaluation,
is
adequate
to
provide
coverage
for
all
expected future credit losses on outstanding loans. Additionally,
qualitative adjustments are made to the ACL when, based
on
management’s
judgment,
there
are
factors
impacting
the
allowance
estimate
not
considered
by
the
quantitative
calculations. See Note 3 “Loans” in Item 1 of Part 1 of
this Form 10-Q for more information on the ACL.

Q1 2026 Form 10-Q
The
Federal
Open
Market
Committee
(“FOMC”)
economic
forecasts
as
of
March 31,
2026,
showed
moderate
improvement in
the forecast
for real
GDP and
a slight
improvement in
the unemployment
rate. Fannie
Mae House
Price
Index (“HPI”) forecast reflected an improvement in national
housing prices. The Company continued to adjust
the HPI index
effect on
the 1-4
Family loan
portfolio with
a qualitative
factor because
Florida housing
prices are
performing better
than
national levels.
The Q-factor
scorecard was
updated based
on the
latest portfolio
stress test
and the
resulting maximum
loss calculation.
Our ACL
included residential
loans. To
assess the
potential impact
of changes
in qualitative
factors related
to these
loans,
management
performed
a sensitivity
analysis.
The Company
evaluated
the
impact
of the
HPI
used
in calculating
expected losses on the residential loan segment. As of March 31,
2026, for every 100 basis points increase in the HPI, the
forecast
reduces
reserves
by
approximately
$239
thousand
and
about
1
basis
points
to
the
reserve
coverage
ratio,
everything else being
constant. This sensitivity
analysis provides a
hypothetical result to
assess the sensitivity
of the ACL
and does
not represent
a change
in management’s
judgement. For
comparative purposes,
in prior
periods the
Company
stress tested
the commercial
real estate
loan subcategory
based on collateral
code (1st
lien, commercial
property) rather
than the non
‑
owner
‑
occupied subsegment.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company stress tested
two qualitative factors within the non
‑
owner
‑
occupied subsegment of
the
commercial
real
estate
loan portfolio,
as
it
represents
the
largest
segment
of
the
Company’s
portfolio.
The
analysis
evaluated
the
impact
of
changing
the
qualitative
factors
from
no
risk
to
maximum
loss
to
assess
the
sensitivity
of
the
allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). This
stress resulted in a hypothetical increase
of $6.7 million, or 25.7%,
in the ACL. The
sensitivity analysis is intended solely to illustrate the responsiveness
of the ACL to changes in qualitative assumptions and
does not represent
a change in
management’s judgment.
For comparative purposes,
in prior periods
the Company stress
tested the commercial real estate loan subcategory based on collateral code (1st lien, commercial property) rather than the
non
‑
owner
‑
occupied subsegment.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance
As of March 31, 2026, the combined cash surrender value of all bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) policies was
$59.9
million.
Changes
in
cash
surrender
value
are
recorded
to
other
non-interest
income
in
the
unaudited
Consolidated
Statements of Operations. The Company has
BOLI policies with five insurance carriers. The Company is the beneficiary of
these policies.
Deposits
Customer deposits are the
primary funding source for
the Bank’s growth.
Through our network of
banking centers, we
offer a competitive array of deposit
accounts and treasury management services designed
to meet our customers’ business
needs. Our primary
deposit customers
are small-to-medium

and the personal
business of the
owners and operators of these SMBs, as well as the retail/consumer
relationships of the employees of these businesses.

payment of real estate taxes and insurance. These escrow
funds are disbursed by the Company directly to the
insurance
companies and taxing authority of the borrower.
Escrow funds are recorded as accrued interest and other
liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheet.
As of March 31, 2026, escrow balances totaled $15.4
million compared to $8.1 million at December 31, 2025.
The
increase reflects the normal growth in escrow accounts
pending tax and insurance payments.

Subordinated Notes
On
August
14,
2025,
the
Company
entered
into
a
Subordinated
Note
Purchase
Agreement
with
certain
qualified
institutional
buyers
pursuant
to
which
the
Company
sold
and
issued
$40.0
million
in
aggregate
principal
amount
of
its
7.625% Fixed-to-Floating Rate
Subordinated Notes due 2035.
The Notes were issued by
the Company to the purchasers
at a price equal to 100% of their face amount. The subordinated debt was originally issued at a cost of $760 thousand. The
subordinated debt,
net of
amortized
expenses,
was $39.3
million, reflecting
the
scheduled expense
recognition
over the
term of the instruments.
The subordinated notes
are presented net of
these costs on the
consolidated balance sheet.
The
Notes
were
offered
and
sold
by
the
Company
in
a
private
placement
transaction
in
reliance
on
exemptions
from
the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant
to Section 4(a)(2) of the
Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder.
For additional information, see the Company Form
8-K filed on
August 14, 2025.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We engage
in various financial
transactions in
our operations
that, under GAAP,
may not be
included on
the balance
sheet. To
meet the financing needs of our customers,
we may include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of
credit. To
a varying
degree, such
commitments involve
elements of
credit, market,
and interest
rate risk
in excess
of the
amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. We maintain an allowance for off-balance
sheet credit risk which is
recorded under
accrued interest
and other
liabilities on
the unaudited
Consolidated
Balance Sheets.
The ACL
related to
unfunded commitments
at March 31,
2026 was
$957
thousand and
at December 31,
2025 was
$752 thousand.
The increase
was primarily driven by an increase in unfunded commitments.
Since commitments associated with letters of
credit and commitments to extend
credit may expire unused, the
amounts
shown
do
not
necessarily
reflect
actual
future
cash
funding
requirements.
The
following
table

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds to a client, as long as there is no violation of any condition
established
in
the
contract,
for
a
specific
purpose.
Commitments
generally
have
variable
interest
rates,
fixed
expiration
dates or
other
termination
clauses
and
may require
payment
of
a fee.
Since many
of the
commitments
are
expected to
expire without being
fully drawn, the
total commitment
amounts disclosed
above do not
necessarily represent
future cash
requirements.
Unfunded lines of credit represent unused portions of credit facilities to our current borrowers that represent no change
in credit risk in our portfolio. Lines
of credit generally have variable interest
rates. The maximum potential amount
of future
payments we could
be required to
make is represented
by the contractual
amount of the
commitment, less
the amount of
any advances made.
Letters of credit are
conditional commitments issued
by us to guarantee
the performance of a
client to a third
party.
In
the event of nonperformance by
the client in accordance with the
terms of the agreement with the
third party,
we would be
required to fund
the commitment.
If the commitment
is funded, we
would be entitled
to seek recovery
from the client
from
the underlying collateral,
which can include
commercial real estate,
physical plant and
property, inventory, receivables, cash
or marketable securities.
Asset and Liability Management Committee
Members
of
senior
management
and
our
Board
make
up
the
asset
and
liability
management
committee,
or
ALCO.
Senior management
is responsible
for ensuring
that Board
approved strategies
and policies
for managing
and mitigating
risks are appropriately executed within the designated
lines of authority and responsibility in a timely manner.
ALCO
oversees
the
establishment,
approval,
implementation,
and
review
of
interest
rate
risk,
management,
and
mitigation strategies, ALM related policies, ALCO procedures
and risk tolerances and appetite.
While some degree of Interest Rate Risk (“IRR”) is inherent to the banking business, we believe our ALCO implements
sound risk management practices to identify,
quantify,
monitor, and limit IRR exposures.

USCB Financial Holdings, Inc.
Q1 2026 Form 10-Q
When assessing the
scope of IRR
exposure and impact
on the
consolidated balance sheet,
cash flows and
consolidated
statement
of
operations,
management
considers
both
earnings
and
economic
impacts.
Asset
price
variations,
deposit
volatility and reduced
earnings or outright
losses could adversely
affect the Company’s
liquidity,
performance, and
capital
adequacy.
Income simulations are
used to assess
the impact
of changing rates
on earnings under
different interest rates
scenarios,
yield curve
shapes
and
time
horizons.
These
simulations
utilize
both
instantaneous
and
parallel
changes
in
the
level of
interest rates, as well as
non-parallel changes such as
changing slopes (flat and steepening)
and twists of the yield
curve.
Static
simulation
models
are
based
on
current
exposures
and
assume
a
constant
balance
sheet
with
no
new
growth.
Dynamic simulation
is also
utilized to
have a
more comprehensive
assessment
on IRR.
This simulation
relies on,
and in
assumptions regarding
changes in
existing lines
of business,
new business,
management strategies
and client
expected
behavior.
To
have
a
more
complete
picture
of
IRR,
the
Company
also
evaluates
the
economic
value
of
equity
(“EVE”).
This
assessment
allows
us
to
measure
the
degree
to
which
the
economic
values
will
change
under
different
interest
rate
scenarios (parallel and non-parallel). The economic value approach focuses on a longer-term time horizon and captures all
future cash flows expected
from existing assets and
liabilities. The economic value
model utilizes a static
approach in that
the analysis
does not
incorporate new
business; rather,
the analysis
shows a
snapshot in
time of
the risk
inherent in
the
balance sheet.
Market and Interest Rate Risk Management
According to
our ALCO
model, As
of March
31, 2026,
both the
static and
dynamic ALM
simulations indicate
that the
Bank’s balance sheet remains liability
‑
sensitive in Year 1, positioning the Bank to benefit in a declining rate environment as
liabilities reprice more
quickly than assets,
resulting in favorable
Net Interest Income
(NII) outcomes. Beginning
in Year
2,
both models transition toward
an asset
‑
sensitive posture, reflecting projected
balance
‑
sheet growth, continued variable
‑
rate
loan
production,
and
changes
in
balance
‑
sheet
mix
over
time.
This
progression
is
consistent
with
management’s
forward
‑
looking assumptions embedded in the dynamic model.
Management’s
interest
rate
positioning
reflects
a
deliberate
balance
between
earnings
stability
and
balance
sheet
flexibility,
particularly
given the
Bank’s relationship
driven deposit
base and
variable rate
lending profile
within the
South
Florida market.
Modeled NII and Economic Value of Equity (EVE) outcomes remain well within ALCO policy limits across all rate shock
scenarios. The
ALM model
incorporates a
wide range
of assumptions,
including asset
prepayment speeds,
non
‑
maturity
deposit
beta
and
decay
assumptions,
pricing
correlations,
deposit
truncations,
and
key
interest
rate
drivers.
Given
the
inherent estimation involved
in these assumptions,
actual results may
differ from
modeled outcomes, particularly
as static
measures
do
not
incorporate
potential
management
actions
in
response
to
changes
in
market
conditions
or
customer
behavior.
EVE sensitivity remains compliant with policy guidelines, with greater volatility observed in rising
‑
rate scenarios, driven
by
asset
and
liability
convexity.
In
higher
‑
rate
environments,
the
value
of
longer
‑
term
assets
declines
more
rapidly,
particularly as loan prepayments slow, while certain funding sources reprice less immediately. Conversely,
in declining
‑
rate
scenarios, faster prepayments and
quicker asset repricing
help mitigate downside EVE
exposure. Importantly, EVE volatility
declined quarter over quarter, reflecting balance
‑
sheet actions taken during the period and an overall
reduction in structural
interest rate risk.
The improvement in the Bank’s
IRR profile was driven primarily by a
reduction in asset duration, while liability
duration
remained
relatively
stable.
Increased
variable
‑
rate
loan
production,
higher
prepayment
activity,
and
targeted
portfolio
repositioning contributed to a shorter effective
asset duration and reduced optionality risk.
Overall,
the
Bank
remains
well
positioned
to
manage
current
interest
rate
volatility,
with
limited
exposure
under
rising
‑
rate scenarios
and favorable
positioning in
a declining
‑
rate environment.
Management continues
to actively
review
ALM
results
and
retains
the
flexibility,
consistent
with
ALCO
policy,
to
adjust
asset
and
liability
duration
through
balance
‑
sheet strategies as market conditions evolve. Results
and related strategies are reviewed quarterly
with ALCO and
adjusted as appropriate.

Liquidity
Liquidity is defined
as a Company’s
capacity to meet
its cash and
collateral obligations at
a reasonable cost.
Maintaining
an adequate level of liquidity depends on the Company’s ability to
efficiently meet both expected and unexpected cash flow
and collateral needs without adversely affecting
either daily operations or the financial condition of the
Company.
Liquidity risk
is the
risk that
we will
be unable
to meet
our short-term
and long-term
obligations as
they become
due
because of an inability
to liquidate assets or
obtain relatively adequate funding. The
Company’s obligations, and the funding
sources
used
to
meet
them,
depend
significantly
on
our
business
mix,
balance
sheet
structure
and
composition,
credit
quality of our assets and the cash flow profiles of our on-
and off-balance sheet obligations.
In managing
inflows and
outflows,
management
regularly
monitors situations
that can
give rise
to increased
liquidity
risk. These
include funding
mismatches, market
constraints on
the ability
to convert
assets (particularly
investments) into
cash or in accessing sources of funds (i.e., market liquidity),
pledging assets and contingent liquidity events.
Changes in macroeconomic conditions, as well as exposure to credit, market, operational, legal, cybersecurity risk and
reputational
risks,
could
have
an
unexpected
impact
on
the
Company’s
liquidity
risk
profile
and
are
factored
into
the
assessment of liquidity and the ALM framework.
Management has established
a comprehensive and
holistic management process for
identifying, measuring, monitoring
and
mitigating
liquidity
risk.
Liquidity
management
also
reflects
the
Bank’s
granular
mix
of
consumer
and
commercial
relationships,
which
management
believes
enhances
funding
stability
and
mitigates
reliance
on
more
rate
sensitive
wholesale
funding
sources.
Due
to
its
critical
importance
to
the
viability
of
the
Company,
liquidity
risk
management
is
integrated into our risk management processes, Contingency
Funding Plan and ALM policy.
Critical elements of our liquidity
risk management include: effective corporate governance consisting of
oversight by the
Board and
ALCO, and
active involvement
of senior
management; appropriate
strategies, policies,
procedures,
and limits
used
to
identify
and
mitigate
liquidity
risk;
comprehensive
liquidity
risk
measurement
and
monitoring
systems
(including
assessments
of
the
current
and
prospective
cash
flows
or
sources
and
uses
of
funds)
that
are
commensurate
with
the
complexity and business activities of the Company; active management of intraday liquidity and collateral; an appropriately
diverse mix
of existing
and potential
future funding
sources; adequate
levels of
highly liquid
marketable securities
free of
legal, regulatory, or operational impediments,
that can be
used to meet
liquidity needs in
stressful situations; comprehensive
contingency
funding
plans
that
sufficiently
address
potential
adverse
liquidity
events
and
emergency
cash
flow
requirements;
and
internal
controls and
internal
audit
processes
sufficient
to
determine
the
adequacy
of
the
institution’s
liquidity risk management process.
We
expect
funds
to
be
available
from
several
basic
banking
activity
sources,
including
the
core
deposit
base,
the
repayment and maturity of loans and investment security
cash flows. Other potential funding sources include
federal funds
purchased, brokered
certificates of
deposit, listing
certificates of
deposit, Fed
Funds lines
and borrowings
from the
FHLB
Atlanta. Accordingly, our liquidity resources were at sufficient levels to
fund loans and meet other
cash needs as necessary.
As
of
March
31,
2026,
the
Company
had
$336
million
in
available
liquidity
on
balance
sheet,
including
$261
million
in
unpledged securities
(excluding
Unencumbered
HTM securities)
available to
use as
collateral
and
$79 million
in excess
cash. The Company had an
additional $457 million
in off-balance sheet liquidity, excluding access to brokered deposits and
other off-balance sheet sources of funding.
Management believes current liquidity levels remain appropriate relative
to the Bank’s risk appetite, balance sheet
size,
and anticipated funding needs under both base case and stressed
scenarios.

Impact of Inflation
Our
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
and
related
notes
have
been
prepared
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP,
which require the measurement of financial
position and operating results in terms
of historical dollars, without considering
the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over
time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is mostly reflected
in the increased cost of operations; inflation can negatively impact overhead expenses and other variable
expenses. Unlike
most industrial
companies,
nearly all
our
assets
and liabilities
are monetary
in nature.
As a
result,
interest
rates
have a
greater impact on our performance than the effects of inflation. Periods of high inflation are often accompanied by relatively
higher interest rates, and
periods of low inflation
are accompanied by relatively
lower interest rates. Inflationary
conditions
may also influence customer
deposit behavior,
loan demand, and pricing
dynamics, which management
considers as part
of its ongoing balance
‑
sheet and earnings planning processes.

Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non
-GAAP Financial Measures
Management
has
included
these
non-GAAP
measures
because
it
believes
these
measures
may
provide
useful
supplemental information
for evaluating
the Company’s
underlying performance
trends. Further,
management uses
these
measures
in
managing
and
evaluating
the
Company’s
business
and
intends
to
refer
to
them
in
discussions
about
our
operations and performance.
Operating performance
measures should be
viewed in addition
to, and not
as an alternative
to or
substitute
for,
measures
determined
in
accordance
with
GAAP,
and
are
not
necessarily
comparable
to non-GAAP
measures that may be presented by other

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company,
we are not required to provide the information required
by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the
supervision and with
the participation of
our management, including
our President and
Chief Executive Officer
and our
Chief Financial
Officer,
we evaluated
the effectiveness
of the
design and
operation of
the Company’s
disclosure
controls
and
procedures
(as
defined
in
Rules
13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under
the
Securities
Exchange
Act
of
1934
(“Exchange Act”)) as
of March 31, 2026.
Based on that
evaluation, management believes
that, as of the
end of the period
covered
by
this
Form
10-Q,
the
Company's
disclosure
controls
and
procedures
were
effective
to
collect,
process,
and
disclose the information required
to be disclosed in
the reports filed or
submitted under the Exchange
Act within the
required
time periods.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been
no change in
our internal control
over financial reporting
(as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In
designing
and
evaluating
the
disclosure
controls
and
procedures,
management
recognizes
that
any
controls
and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving
the desired control objectives.
In addition, the design
of disclosure controls and
procedures must reflect the
fact that there
are resource constraints and that management is required to apply
judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls
and procedures relative to their costs.

in
accordance
with
generally
accepted
accounting
principles;
c)
evaluated the effectiveness
