Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Nature of operations:

Capital Bancorp, Inc., is a Maryland corporation and bank holding company (the “Company”) for Capital Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”). The Company's primary operations are conducted by the Bank, which operates branches in Rockville, Columbia and North Bethesda, Maryland, Reston, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The Bank is principally engaged in the business of investing in commercial, real estate, and credit card loans and attracting deposits. We conduct mortgage business through Capital Bank Home Loans, formerly Church Street Mortgage, our residential mortgage banking arm; and credit card business through OpenSky®, a secured, digitally-driven nationwide credit card platform.

The Bank also originates residential mortgages for sale in the secondary market. The Company formed Church Street Capital, LLC (“Church Street Capital”) in 2014 to provide short-term secured real estate financing to Washington, D.C. area investors and developers that may not meet all Bank credit criteria.

In addition, the Company owns all of the stock of Capital Bancorp (MD) Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”). The Trust is a special purpose non-consolidated entity organized for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities.

In October 2018, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 2,563,046 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $12.50 per share, 1,834,310 shares of which were sold by the Company and 728,736 shares of which were sold by certain of the Company’s shareholders (the “selling shareholders”). The net proceeds to the Company from the IPO were $19.8 million after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses of $3.2 million. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sales of shares by the selling shareholders.

Basis of presentation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the activity of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank and Church Street Capital. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company reports its activities as a single business segment. In determining the appropriateness of segment definition, the Company considers components of the business about which financial information is available and regularly evaluated relative to resource allocation and performance assessment. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and conform to general practices within the banking industry.

On August 15, 2018, the Company completed a four-for-one stock split of the Company's authorized, issued, and outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Stock Split”). At the effective time of the Stock Split, each share of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock was automatically increased to four shares issued and outstanding. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Stock Split. All share and share-related information presented in these consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the increased number of shares resulting from the Stock Split.

Significant Accounting Policies:

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The basis of the estimates is on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances, results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities that are



	8

Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation (continued)

not readily available from other sources. Estimates are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

Investment securities

Investment securities are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders’ equity on an after-tax basis. Premiums and discounts on investment securities are amortized or accreted using the interest method. Changes in the fair value of debt securities available for sale are included in stockholder’s equity as unrealized gains and losses, net of the related tax effect. Unrealized losses are periodically reviewed to determine whether the loss represents an other than temporary impairment. Any unrealized losses judged to be other than a temporary impairment will be charged to income.

Loans held for sale

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale are recorded at fair value, determined individually, as of the balance sheet date. Fair value is determined based on outstanding investor commitments, or in the absence of such commitments, based on current investor yield requirements. Gains and losses on loan sales are determined by the specific-identification method. The Company’s current practice is to sell residential mortgage loans on a servicing released basis, and, therefore, it has no intangible asset recorded for the value of such servicing. Interest on loans held for sale is credited to income based on the principal amounts outstanding.

Upon sale and delivery, loans are legally isolated from the Company and the Company has no ability to restrict or constrain the ability of third‑party investors to pledge or exchange the mortgage loans. The Company does not have the entitlement or ability to repurchase the mortgage loans or unilaterally cause third‑party investors to put the mortgage loans back to the Company. Unrealized and realized gains on loan sales are determined using the specific-identification method and are recognized through mortgage banking activity in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company elected to measure loans held for sale at fair value to better align reported results with the underlying economic changes in value of the loans on the Company’s balance sheet.

Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses

Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, adjusted for deferred origination fees, deferred origination costs, discounts on loans acquired, and the allowance for loan losses. Interest is accrued based on the loan principal balances and stated interest rates. Origination fees and costs are recognized as an adjustment to the related loan yield using approximate interest methods. The Company discontinues the accrual of interest when any portion of the principal and interest is 90 days past due and collateral is insufficient to discharge the debt in full. Generally, interest payments on nonaccrual loans are recorded as a reduction of the principal balance.

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information, management believes the Company



	9

Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation (continued)

will not collect all principal and interest payments according to contractual terms. Generally, loans are reviewed for impairment when the risk grade for a loan is downgraded to a classified asset category. The loans are evaluated for appropriate classification, accrual, impairment, and troubled debt restructure status. If collection of principal is evaluated as doubtful, all payments are applied to principal. A modification of a loan is considered a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. The Company may consider interest rate reductions, changes to payment terms, extensions of maturities and/or principal reductions.

Loans are generally charged-off in part or in full when management determines the loan to be uncollectible. Factors for charge-off that may be considered include: repayments deemed to be projected beyond reasonable time frames, client bankruptcy and lack of assets, and/or collateral deficiencies.

The allowance for loan losses is estimated to adequately provide for probable future losses on existing loans. The allowance consists of specific and general components. For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the collateral value, if the loan is collateral dependent, or the discounted cash flows of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers pools of nonclassified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. There may be an unallocated component of the allowance, which reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the method for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. Actual loan performance may differ from those estimates. A loss is recognized as a charge to the allowance when management believes that collection of the loan is unlikely. Collections of loans previously charged off are added to the allowance at the time of recovery.

We determine the allowance for loan losses based on the accumulation of various components that are calculated independently in accordance with ASC 450 for pools of loans, ASC 310 for Troubled Debt Restructuring, and ASC 310 for individually evaluated loans. The process for determining an appropriate allowance for loan losses is based on a comprehensive, well-documented, and consistently applied analysis of the loan portfolio. The analysis considers all significant factors that affect the collectibility of the portfolio and supports the credit losses estimated by this process. It is important to recognize that the related process, methodology, and underlying assumptions require a substantial degree of judgment.

Premises and equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization over two to seven years. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related property. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the improvements, approximately ten years, or the term of the lease, whichever is less. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor replacements are charged to noninterest expenses as incurred.

Leases

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 applies a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record, for all leases with a lease term of more than 12 months, an asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a liability to make lease payments. The Company has elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitting entities to not reassess: 1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; 2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and 3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. Additionally, as provided by ASU 2016-02, the Company has elected not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases, defined as leases with a term of



	10

Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation (continued)

12 months or less, and to recognize the lease payments in net income on short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We adopted the guidance using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2019 and elected the practical expedients for transition including the transition option provided in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which allowed the Company to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date. Consequently, the reporting for the comparative periods presented continued to be in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases. Therefore, the 2018 financial results and disclosures have not been adjusted.

The Company is largely accounting for our existing operating leases consistent with prior guidance except for the incremental balance sheet recognition for leases. The adoption of this standard resulted in the Company recognizing lease right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities totaling $5.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the lease assets and the lease liabilities was $146 thousand of deferred rent, which was reclassified to lease liabilities, and the remainder was recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings in the amount of $54 thousand. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of income. See footnote 5 for Leases for more information.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans (interest rate locks) with the intention of selling them in the secondary market. The Company also enters into forward sales agreements for certain funded loans and loan commitments. The Company records unfunded commitments intended for loans held for sale and forward sales agreements at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking revenue. Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value. For pipeline loans which are not pre-sold to an investor, the Company manages the interest rate risk on rate lock commitments by entering into forward sale contracts, whereby the Company obtains the right to deliver securities to investors in the future at a specified price. Such contracts are accounted for as derivatives and are recorded at fair value as derivative assets or liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in mortgage banking revenue.

The Company accounts for derivative instruments and hedging activities according to guidelines established in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-10, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. Changes in fair value of derivatives designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective as hedges, are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes. Any hedge ineffectiveness would be recognized in the income statement line item pertaining to the hedged item.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of a financial instrument is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market inputs. For financial instruments that are traded actively and have quoted market prices or observable market inputs, there is minimal subjectivity involved in measuring fair value. However, when quoted market prices or observable market inputs are not fully available, significant management judgment may be necessary to estimate fair value. In developing our fair value estimates, we maximize the use of observable inputs and



	11

Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation (continued)

minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The fair value hierarchy defines Level 1 valuations as those based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 valuations include inputs based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 valuations are based on at least one significant assumption not observable in the market, or significant management judgment or estimation, some of which may be internally developed.

Financial assets that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include investment securities available for sale, loans held for sale, and derivative financial instruments. Financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are comprised of derivative financial instruments. See the Fair Value note to our consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is deemed more likely than not that the benefits of such deferred income taxes will be realized.

Earnings per share:

Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock using the treasury stock method. At March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were 273,600 and 495,680 stock options, respectively, that were not included in the calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in computing basic and diluted earnings per common share as adjusted for the Stock Split:

Comprehensive income:

The Company reports as comprehensive income all changes in stockholders' equity during the year from sources other than stockholders. Other comprehensive income refers to all components (income, expenses, gains, and losses) of comprehensive income that are excluded from net income.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements:

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance to change the accounting for credit losses and modify the impairment model for certain debt securities. The amendments will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all organizations for periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

The Company will apply the amendments to the ASU through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. While early adoption is permitted beginning in first quarter 2019, the Company does not expect to elect that option. The Company is evaluating the impact of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements. In addition to our allowance for loan losses, the Company will also record an allowance for credit losses on debt securities instead of applying the impairment model currently utilized. The amount of the adjustments will be impacted by each portfolio’s composition and credit quality at the adoption date as well as economic conditions and forecasts at that time.

In March 2017, the FASB amended the Receivables topic of the ASC to eliminate the current diversity in practice with respect to the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The amendments in this update shorten the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB amended the Fair Value Measurement Topic 820 disclosure framework. These amendments include additions, removals and modifications to the fair value disclosure requirements in Topic 820, and are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted on removed or modified disclosures. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

At March 31, 2019, there were ten U.S. government-sponsored enterprises securities, two corporate securities, seventeen mortgage-backed securities, and one municipal security that had been in a loss position for greater than twelve months. Management believes that all unrealized losses have resulted from temporary changes in the interest rates and current market conditions and not as a result of credit deterioration. Management has the ability and the intent to hold these investment securities until maturity or until they recover in value.

Loans receivable, net	$	996,581		$	988,960

The Company makes loans to customers located primarily in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas. Although the loan portfolio is diversified, its performance will be influenced by the regional economy. The Company’s loan categories are described below.

Residential Real Estate Loans. One-to-four family mortgage loans are primarily on owner-occupied primary residences and, to a lesser extent, investor owned residences. Residential loans are originated through the commercial sales teams and Capital Bank Home Loans division. Residential loans also include home equity lines of credit. One-to-four family residential loans have a relatively small balance spread between many individual borrowers compared to our other loan categories. Owner-occupied residential real estate loans usually have fixed rates for five or seven years and adjust on an annual basis after the initial term based on a typical maturity of 30 years. Investor residential real estate loans are based on 25-year terms with a balloon payment due after five years. The required minimum debt service coverage ratio is 1.15. Residential real estate loans have represented a stable and growing portion of our loan portfolio. The emphasis will continue to be on residential real estate lending.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate loans are originated on owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied properties. These loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. Commercial loans that are secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate and primarily collateralized by operating cash flows are also included in this category of loans. As of March 31, 2019, there were approximately $129.2 million of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, representing approximately 49% of the commercial real estate portfolio. Commercial real estate loan terms are generally extended for 10 years or less and amortize generally over 25 years or less. The interest rates on commercial real estate loans have initial fixed rate terms that adjust typically at 5 years and origination fees are routinely charged for services. Personal guarantees from the principal owners of the business are generally required, supported by a review of the principal owners’ personal financial statements and global debt service obligations. The properties securing the portfolio are located primarily throughout the Company’s markets and are generally diverse in terms of type. This diversity helps reduce the exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single industry.

Construction Loans. Construction loans are offered within the Company’s Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland metropolitan operating areas to builders primarily for the construction of single-family homes and condominium and townhouse conversions or renovations and, to a lesser extent, to individuals.

Note 3 - Loans Receivable (continued)

Construction loans typically have terms of 12 to 18 months with the goal of transitioning the borrowers to permanent financing or re-underwriting and selling into the secondary market through Capital Bank Home Loans. According to underwriting standards, the ratio of loan principal to collateral value, as established by an independent appraisal, cannot exceed 75% for investor-owned and 80% for owner-occupied properties. Semi-annual stress testing of the construction loan portfolio is conducted, and underlying real estate conditions are closely monitored as well as the borrower’s trends of sales valuations as compared to underwriting valuations as part of the ongoing risk management efforts. The borrowers’ progress in construction buildout is closely monitored and the original underwriting guidelines for construction milestones and completion timelines are strictly enforced.

Commercial Business Loans. In addition to other loan products, general commercial loans, including commercial lines of credit, working capital loans, term loans, equipment financing, letters of credit and other loan products are offered, primarily in target markets, and underwritten based on each borrower’s ability to service debt from income. These loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily, on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Most commercial business loans are secured by a lien on general business assets including, among other things, available real estate, accounts receivable, promissory notes, inventory and equipment, and personal guaranties from the borrower or other principal are generally obtained.

Credit Cards. Through the OpenSky® credit card division, credit cards on a nationwide basis to under-banked populations and those looking to rebuild their credit scores are provided through a fully digital and mobile platform. Substantially all of the lines of credit are secured by a noninterest bearing demand account at the Bank in an amount equal to the full credit limit of the credit card. In addition, using a proprietary scoring model, which considers credit score and repayment history (typically a minimum of six months of on-time repayments, but ultimately determined on a case-by-case basis) the Bank has recently begun to offer certain customers an unsecured line in excess of their secured line of credit. Approximately $30.8 million and $32.5 million of the credit card balances were secured by savings deposits held by the Company as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Other Consumer Loans. To a very limited extent and typically as an accommodation to existing customers, personal consumer loans such as term loans, car loans or boat loans are offered.

Loans acquired through acquisitions are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. In estimating the fair value of loans acquired, certain factors were considered, including the remaining lives of the acquired loans, payment history, estimated prepayments, estimated loss ratios, estimated value of the underlying collateral, and the net present value of cash flows expected. Discounts on loans that were not considered impaired at acquisition were recorded as an accretable discount, which will be recognized in interest income over the terms of the related loans. For loans considered to be impaired, the difference between the contractually required payments and expected cash flows was recorded as a nonaccretable discount. Generally, the nonaccretable discount will be recognized after collection of the discounted fair value of the related loan. The remaining nonaccretable discounts on loans acquired were $354 thousand as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Loans with nonaccretable discounts had a carrying value of $1.3 million as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The activity in the accretable discounts on loans acquired was as follows:

Special Mention

A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Borrowers may exhibit poor liquidity and leverage positions resulting from generally negative cash flow or negative trends in earnings. Access to alternative financing may be limited to finance companies for business borrowers and may be unavailable for commercial real estate borrowers.

Substandard

A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current financial condition and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Borrowers may exhibit recent or unexpected unprofitable operations, an inadequate debt service coverage ratio, or marginal liquidity and capitalization. These loans require more intense supervision by Company management.

Doubtful

A doubtful loan has all the weaknesses inherent as a substandard loan 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.

Impaired loans also include certain loans that have been modified in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months. The status of TDRs is as follows:

Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition of the contract. Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates. Such lines do not represent future cash requirements because it is unlikely that all customers will draw upon their lines in full at any time. Loan

commitments generally have variable interest rates, fixed expiration dates, and may require payment of a fee.

The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer is the contractual amount of the credit commitment. Loan commitments and lines of credit are made on the same terms, including collateral, as outstanding loans. Management is not aware of any accounting loss to be incurred by funding these loan commitments. The Company maintains a liability account for estimated reserves on off balance sheet items such as unfunded lines of credit. Activity for this account is as follows:

Note 4 - Derivative Financial Instruments

As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. The Company then either locks the loan and rate in with an investor and commits to deliver the loan if settlement occurs (Best Efforts) or commits to deliver the locked loan to an investor in a binding (Mandatory) delivery program. Certain loans under rate lock commitments are covered under forward sales contracts. Forward sales contracts are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in mortgage banking revenue. Interest rate lock commitments and commitments to deliver loans to investors are considered derivatives. The market value of interest rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not readily ascertainable with precision because they are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. The Company determines the fair value of rate lock commitments and delivery contracts by measuring the fair value of the underlying asset, which is impacted by current interest rates and takes into consideration the probability that the rate lock commitments will close or will be funded.

On January 7, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction with a notional amount of $2 million. The swap qualifies as a derivative and is designated as a hedging instrument. The swap fixed the interest rate the Company paid on the floating rate junior subordinated debentures for four years beginning on March 16, 2015 and matured on March 16, 2019. Based on the notional amount, the Company paid FTN Financial Markets (“FTN”) quarterly interest at a fixed rate, and FTN paid the Company interest at a rate of three‑month LIBOR plus 1.87%. The unrealized gain (loss), net of income tax, has been recorded in other comprehensive income.

The following table reports the commitment, fair value and unrealized gain (loss) amounts on the outstanding derivatives:

Note 5 - Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases, as further explained in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company’s primary leasing activities relate to certain real estate leases entered into in support of the Company’s branch operations and back office operations. On January 1, 2019, the Company leased five of its full service branches and four other locations for corporate/administration activities, operations, and loan production. All property leases under lease agreements have been been designated as operating leases. The Company does not have leases designated as finance leases.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are included in premises and equipment, and operating lease liabilities are included as other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The weighted average discount rate used was 2.24%. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease pre-payments. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which the Company has elected to account for separately as the non-lease component amounts are readily determinable under most leases.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s lease ROU assets and related lease liabilities were $5.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively, and have remaining terms ranging from 1 - 6 years, including extension options that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had not entered into any material leases that have not commenced. The Company’s lease activity is as follows:

Note 6 - Fair Value

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, recommend disclosures about fair value, and establish a hierarchy for determining fair value measurement. The hierarchy includes three levels and is based upon the valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation method are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation method include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation method are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value measurements on a recurring basis

Investment securities available for sale - The fair values of the Company's investment securities available for sale are provided by an independent pricing service. The fair values of the Company's securities are



	30

Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 6 - Fair Value (continued)

determined based on quoted prices for similar securities under Level 2 inputs.

Loans held for sale - The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using Level 2 inputs of quoted prices for a similar asset, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan.

Derivative financial instruments - Derivative instruments used to hedge residential mortgage loans held for sale and the related interest rate lock commitments include forward commitments to sell mortgage loans and are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on derivative market data inputs as of the valuation date and the underlying value of mortgage loans for rate lock commitments.

The interest rate swap is reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The Company obtains dealer quotations to value its swap. For purposes of potential valuation adjustments to its derivative position, the Company evaluates the credit risk of its counterparty. Accordingly, the Company has considered factors such as the likelihood of default by the counterparty and the remaining contractual life, among other things, in determining if any fair value adjustment related to credit risk is required.

The Company has categorized its financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 as follows:

Note 6 - Fair Value (continued)

Financial instruments recorded using FASB ASC 825-10

Under FASB ASC 825-10, the Company may elect to report most financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in net income. After the initial adoption, the election is made at the acquisition of an eligible financial asset, financial liability or firm commitment or when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election, with respect to an item, may not be revoked once an election is made.

The following table reflects the difference between the fair value carrying amount of loans held for sale, measured at fair value under FASB ASC 825-10, and the aggregate unpaid principal amount the Company is contractually entitled to receive at maturity:



Fair Value of Loans Held for Sale
(in thousands)	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Aggregate fair value	$	21,630	$	18,526
Contractual principal	20,869		17,822
Difference	$	761	$	704

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company elected to account for loans held for sale at fair value to eliminate the mismatch that would occur by recording changes in market value on derivative instruments used to hedge loans held for sale while carrying the loans at the lower of cost or market.

Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis

Impaired loans - The Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan's collateral and discounted cash flow analysis. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair values consist of loan balances of $6.6 million and $4.4 million, net of valuation allowances of $346 thousand and $262 thousand, respectively.

Foreclosed real estate - The Company's foreclosed real estate is measured at fair value less cost to sell. Fair value was determined based on offers and/or appraisals. Cost to sell the real estate was based on standard market factors. The Company has categorized its foreclosed real estate as Level 3.

Unobservable Inputs
	Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	Range of Inputs
	Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	Range of Inputs
Impaired Loans	Appraised Value/Discounted Cash Flows	Discounts to appraisals or cash flows for estimated holding and/or selling costs	11 to 25%
Foreclosed Real Estate	Appraised Value/Comparable Sales	Discounts to appraisals for estimated holding and/or selling costs	11 to 25%

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate the value is based upon the characteristics of the instruments and relevant market information. Financial instruments include cash, evidence of ownership in an entity, or contracts that convey or impose on an entity that contractual right or obligation to either receive or deliver cash for another financial instrument.

The information used to determine fair value is highly subjective and judgmental in nature and, therefore, the results may not be precise. Subjective factors include, among other things, estimates of cash flows, risk characteristics, credit quality, and interest rates, all of which are subject to change. Since the fair value is estimated as of the balance sheet date, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid upon settlement or maturity on these various instruments could be significantly different.

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities.” The amendments included within this standard, which are applied prospectively, require the Company to disclose fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet and to measure that fair value using an exit price notion. Prior to adopting the amendments included in the standard, the Company was allowed to measure fair value under an entry price notion. The entry price notion previously applied by the Company used a discounted cash flows technique



	33

Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 6 - Fair Value (continued)

to calculate the present value of expected future cash flows for a financial instrument. The exit price notion uses the same approach, but also incorporates other factors, such as enhanced credit risk, illiquidity risk, and market factors that sometimes exist in exit prices in dislocated markets.

The fair value of the Company’s loan portfolio has always included a credit risk assumption in the determination of the fair value of its loans. This credit risk assumption is intended to approximate the fair value that a market participant would realize in a hypothetical orderly transaction. The Company’s loan portfolio is initially fair valued using a segmented approach. The Company divides its loan portfolio into the following categories: variable rate loans, impaired loans, and all other loans. The results are then adjusted to account for credit risk as described above. However, under the new guidance, the Company believes a further credit risk discount must be applied through the use of a discounted cash flow model to compensate for illiquidity risk, based on certain assumptions included within the discounted cash flow model, primarily the use of discount rates that better capture inherent credit risk over the lifetime of a loan. This consideration of enhanced credit risk provides an estimated exit price for the Company’s loan portfolio.

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values approximate carrying values. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow models or based on the fair value of the underlying collateral.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and investments in restricted stocks is the carrying amount. Restricted stock includes equity of the Federal Reserve and other banker’s banks.

The fair value of noninterest bearing deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase is the carrying amount.

The fair value of checking and savings deposits, and money market accounts, is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair value of fixed maturity term accounts and individual retirement accounts is estimated using rates currently offered for accounts of similar remaining maturities.

The fair value of certificates of deposit in other financial institutions is estimated based on interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting the value of contractual cash flows using current market rates for borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities.

The fair value of outstanding loan commitments, unused lines of credit, and letters of credit are not included in the table since the carrying value generally approximates fair value. These instruments generate fees that approximate those currently charged to originate similar commitments.

The table below presents the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments.

Note 7 - Litigation

The Bank, along with two other banking institutions, was a defendant in a lawsuit in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland (Case No. 426478V). On April 9, 2019, the Bank entered into a Settlement Agreement and Joint Tortfeasor Release with the plaintiff pursuant to which the parties agreed to settle the lawsuit for $3.7 million (the “Settlement”). All amounts paid by the Bank were fully funded by its insurance carrier except for $200,000 which was accrued at March 31, 2019. The Settlement includes a release of all claims in the lawsuit that were or could have been brought and precludes further proceedings. The Settlement is not in any way an admission of liability, fault or wrongdoing by the Bank.

In addition to the lawsuit described above, the Company is involved in legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. The aggregate effect of these, in management’s opinion, would not be material on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Note 8 - Subsequent Events

The Company announced a stock repurchase program on April 25, 2019. The program enables the Company to repurchase up to $5.0 million of its outstanding common stock, and expires on December 31, 2020.

Overview

Capital Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in 1998 in Maryland, to act as the bank holding company for Capital Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) which received its charter in 1999 and began operations in 1999. The Bank is headquartered in Rockville, Maryland and serves the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore metropolitan areas through five commercial bank branches, five mortgage offices, two loan production offices, a limited service branch and three corporate and operations facilities located in key markets throughout our operating area. We serve businesses, not-for-profit associations and entrepreneurs throughout the region by partnering with them to design tailored financial solutions supported by customized technology and “client first” advice.

We operate through three divisions: Commercial Banking; Capital Bank Home Loans (“CBHL”), formerly Church Street Mortgage, our residential mortgage banking arm; and OpenSky^®, a secured, digitally-driven nationwide credit card platform. Our Commercial Banking division accounts for the majority of the Bank’s total assets. Our commercial bankers provide high quality service, customized solutions and tailored advice to commercial clients in our operating markets.

Our Capital Bank Home Loans division originates conventional and government-guaranteed residential mortgage loans on a nationwide basis primarily for sale into the secondary market and in certain, limited circumstances for the Bank’s loan portfolio.

Our OpenSky^® division provides secured credit cards on a nationwide basis to under-banked populations and those looking to rebuild their credit scores. OpenSky^®cards operate on a fully digital and mobile enabled platform with all marketing and application procedures conducted through website and mobile applications. A deposit equal to the full credit limit of the card is made into a noninterest-bearing demand account with the Bank when the account is opened and the deposit is required to be maintained throughout the life of the card. Using our proprietary scoring model, which considers credit score and repayment history (typically a minimum of six months of on-time repayments, but ultimately determined on a case-by-case basis), the Bank has recently begun to offer certain existing customers an unsecured line in excess of their secured line of credit.

Net income	$	3,319	$	2,990	11.0	%

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3.3 million, an increase of approximately $329 thousand, or 11.0%, from net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $3.0 million. The increase was primarily due to increased net interest income and lower provision for loan losses, offset by higher noninterest expenses.

Net Interest Income and Net Margin Analysis

We analyze our ability to maximize income generated from interest earning assets and control the interest expenses of our liabilities, measured as net interest income, through our net interest margin and net interest spread. Net interest income is the difference between the interest and fees earned on interest earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense incurred in connection with interest bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, which are used to fund those assets. Net interest margin is a ratio calculated as net interest income divided by average interest earning assets for the same period. Net interest spread is the difference between average interest rates earned on interest earning assets and average interest rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.

Changes in market interest rates and the interest rates we earn on interest earning assets or pay on interest bearing liabilities, as well as in the volume and types of interest earning assets, interest bearing and noninterest bearing liabilities and stockholders’ equity, are usually the largest drivers of periodic changes in net interest income, net interest margin and net interest spread. Fluctuations in market interest rates are driven by many factors, including governmental monetary policies, inflation, deflation, macroeconomic developments, changes in unemployment, the money supply, political and international conditions and conditions in domestic and foreign financial markets. Periodic changes in the volume and types of loans in our loan portfolio are affected by, among other factors, economic and competitive conditions in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas, as well as developments affecting the real estate, technology, government services, hospitality and tourism and financial services sectors within our target markets and throughout the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas. Our ability to respond to changes in these factors by using effective asset-liability management techniques is critical to maintaining the stability of our net interest income and net interest margin as our primary sources of earnings.

The following table shows the average outstanding balance of each principal category of our assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity, together with the average yields on our assets and the average costs of our liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and cost are calculated by dividing income or expense by the average daily balances of the corresponding assets or liabilities for the same period.

Net interest income increased by $359 thousand to $14.7 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018. The Company’s annualized net interest margin excluding credit cards was 4.30% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, up 5 basis points from 4.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Average total interest earning assets were $1.1 billion for the first quarter of 2019 compared with $1.0 billion for the first quarter of 2018. The annualized yield on those interest earning assets increased 7 basis points from 6.71% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to 6.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in the average balance of interest earning assets was driven almost entirely by growth in the average balance of the loan portfolio of $105.8 million, or 12%, to $1.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $908.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Average interest bearing liabilities increased by $17.1 million from $727.6 million for the first quarter of 2018 to $744.7 million for the first quarter of 2019. The increase was due to an increase in the average balance of interest bearing deposits of $23.5 million, or 3.38%, offset by a decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds of $6.4 million, or 19.72%. Deposits are our primary funding source. The annualized average interest rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased to 1.95% for the first quarter of 2019 compared to 1.27% for the first quarter of 2018, while the annualized average interest rate paid on interest bearing deposits increased 69 basis points and the annualized average interest rate paid on borrowed funds increased by 105 basis points. The increases in annualized average interest rates reflect four market interest rate increases during 2018.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company’s annualized net interest margin was 5.46% and net interest spread was 4.83%. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, annualized net interest margin was 5.79% and net interest spread was 4.90%. The year over year net interest margin decrease of 33 basis points was primarily due to reduced late fees from credit cards. As a result of a credit card processing system conversion in late 2017, the Company accrued for late fee and interest charge-offs that were delayed from the fourth quarter of 2017 into the first quarter of 2018, thereby reducing the overall impact in the first quarter of 2018.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is a charge to income in order to bring our allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management. For a description of the factors taken into account by our management in determining the allowance for loan losses see “Financial Condition—Allowance for Loan Losses.”

Our provision for loan losses amounted to $121 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and $515 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Our allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.13% at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Charge-offs amounted to $93 thousand for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Noninterest Income

Our primary sources of recurring noninterest income are service charges on deposit accounts, certain credit card fees, such as interchange fees and statement fees, and mortgage banking revenue. Noninterest income does not include (i) loan origination fees to the extent they exceed the direct loan origination costs, which are generally recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using the interest method or (ii) annual, renewal and late fees related to our credit card portfolio, which are generally recognized over the twelve month life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using the interest method.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of noninterest income:

NONINTEREST INCOME



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018			% Change
(in thousands)
Noninterest income:
Service charges on deposit accounts	$	98	$	125		(21.6	)%

Other fees and charges	126		71			77.5	%
Total noninterest income	$	4,092	$	4,078		0.3	%

Noninterest income remained steady at $4.1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2018. Mortgage banking revenue decreased slightly by $53 thousand, or 2%, during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018. Our focus for the Capital Bank Home Loans division continues to be purchase transactions over refinances, which have slightly higher rates and prices. Proceeds from the sale of loans held for sale amounted to $71.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $96.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

OpenSky^® credit card issuances, which are seasonally higher in the first quarter, set a quarterly high totaling 35 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 30 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Credit card fees increased $37 thousand from the prior year period.

Noninterest Expense

Generally, noninterest expense is composed of all employee expenses and costs associated with operating our facilities, obtaining and retaining customer relationships and providing bank services. The largest component of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits. Noninterest expense also includes operational expenses, such as occupancy and equipment expenses, professional fees, advertising expenses, loan processing expenses and other general and administrative expenses, including FDIC assessments, communications, travel, meals, training, supplies and postage.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of noninterest expense:

Other	1,747		1,451		20.4	%
Total noninterest expense	$	14,330	$	13,600	5.4	%

Noninterest expense amounted to $14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $730 thousand, or 5%, compared to $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits; professional fees, including legal and accounting fees; and other operating expenses, which included a $200 thousand litigation settlement. Refer to the Litigation Note 7 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

Income Tax Expense

The amount of income tax expense we incur is influenced by our pre-tax income and our other nondeductible expenses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at current income tax rates in effect for the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, such as the Tax Act deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Income tax expense was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Our effective tax rates for those periods were 24% and 31%, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to overall lower blended state and federal tax rates.

Financial Condition

As of March 31, 2019, our total assets increased $18.7 million from December 31, 2018 to approximately $1.1 billion. Loans receivable, interest bearing deposits at other financial institutions, loans held for sale, and premises and equipment increased while federal funds sold and investment securities decreased over that period. An increase in noninterest bearing deposits was partially offset by a decrease in interest-bearing deposits. Federal funds purchased and Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased. Stockholders’ equity increased $4.0 million, or 3%, to $118.6 million at March 31, 2019, primarily due to earnings.

Interest Bearing Deposits at Other Financial Institutions

As of March 31, 2019, interest bearing deposits at other financial institutions increased $3.8 million, or 17%, to $25.8 million from $22.0 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to increased loan funding during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Securities

We use our securities portfolio to provide a source of liquidity, provide an appropriate return on funds invested, manage interest rate risk, meet collateral requirements and meet regulatory capital requirements.



	44

Management classifies investment securities as either held to maturity or available for sale based on our intentions and the Company’s ability to hold such securities until maturity. In determining such classifications, securities that management has the positive intent and the Company has the ability to hold until maturity are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost. All other securities are designated as available for sale and carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in shareholders’ equity on an after-tax basis. For the years presented, all securities were classified as available for sale.

Our investment portfolio decreased 2%, or approximately $852 thousand, from $46.9 million at December 31, 2018, to $46.1 million at March 31, 2019 primarily due to paydowns received on mortgage-backed securities. To supplement interest income earned on our loan portfolio, we invest in high quality mortgage-backed securities, government agency bonds, high quality municipal and corporate bonds.

The following tables summarize the contractual maturities and weighted-average yields of investment securities at March 31, 2019 and the amortized cost and carrying value of those securities as of the indicated dates.

Loan Portfolio

Our primary source of income is derived from interest earned on loans. Our loan portfolio consists of loans secured by real estate as well as commercial business loans, credit card loans, substantially all of which are secured by corresponding deposits at the Bank and, to a very limited extent, other consumer loans. Our loan customers primarily consist of small- to medium-sized businesses, professionals, real estate investors, small residential builders and individuals. Our owner-occupied and investment commercial real estate loans, residential construction loans and commercial business loans provide us with higher risk-adjusted returns, shorter maturities and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations, and are complemented by our relatively lower risk residential real estate loans to individuals. To a lesser extent, our credit card portfolio supplements our traditional lending products with enhanced yields. Our lending activities are principally directed to our market area consisting of the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming loans increased to $7.0 million, or 0.69% of total loans, at March 31, 2019 compared to $4.7 million, or 0.47% of total loans, at December 31, 2018. The $2.3 million, or 49%, increase during the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to an increase of $2.1 million in nonperforming construction loans. The increase is attributable to a single borrower relationship that is well secured, on which no impairment is expected. As such, there have been no losses related to the increase in non-performing assets. Foreclosed real estate increased to $149 thousand as of March 31, 2019 compared to $142 thousand as of December 31, 2018 due to the foreclosure of a residential loan.

Total nonperforming assets were $7.1 million at March 31, 2019 compared to $4.8 million at December 31, 2018, or 0.63% and 0.44%, respectively, of corresponding total assets.

At March 31, 2019, the recorded investment in impaired loans was $6.6 million, $1.0 million of which required a specific reserve of $346 thousand compared to a recorded investment in impaired loans of $4.4 million including $386 thousand requiring a specific reserve of $262 thousand at December 31, 2018. Impaired loans at both dates presented included one borrower relationship totaling $2.1 million that is well secured, on which no impairment is expected.

Impaired loans also include certain loans that have been modified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had four loans amounting to $280 thousand and $284 thousand, repectively, that were considered to be TDRs.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain an allowance for loan losses that represents management’s best estimate of the loan losses and risks inherent in our loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance for loan losses should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in future periods will necessarily occur in those amounts, or at all. In determining the allowance for loan losses, we estimate losses on specific loans, or groups of loans, where the probable loss can be identified and reasonably determined. The balance of the allowance for loan losses is based on internally assigned risk classifications of loans, historical loan loss rates, changes in the nature of our loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, current economic factors and the estimated impact of current economic conditions on certain historical loan loss rates. The following table presents a summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses for the periods and dates indicated:

Our allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $11.3 million, or 1.13% of loans for each respective period end. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2019 included specific reserves of $346 thousand set aside for impaired loans. Charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $93 thousand and were partially offset by recoveries of $11 thousand. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2018 included specific reserves of $262 thousand set aside for impaired loans. Our charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $1.1 million and were partially offset by recoveries of $231 thousand. The charge-offs for the first three months ended March 31, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018 were primarily due to credit card charge-offs.

Although we believe that we have established our allowance for loan losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and that the allowance for loan losses was adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the portfolio at all times shown above, future provisions for loan losses will be subject to ongoing evaluations of the risks in our loan portfolio.

The following table shows the allocation of the allowance for loan losses among loan categories and certain other information as of the dates indicated. The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any loan category.

Deposits

Deposits are the major source of funding for the Company. We offer a variety of deposit products including NOW, savings, money market and time accounts all of which we actively market at competitive pricing. We generate deposits from our customers on a relationship basis and through the efforts of our commercial lending officers and our business banking officers. Our credit card customers are also a significant source of low cost deposits. As of March 31, 2019, our credit card customers accounted for $65.8 million, or 25%, of our total noninterest bearing deposit balances. We supplement our deposits with wholesale funding sources such as the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) and brokered deposits.

Interest bearing deposits decreased $7.5 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019 primarily due to a reduction in brokered certificates of deposit. The Company continues to execute on its strategic initiative to improve the deposit portfolio mix from wholesale deposits to core deposits including non-interest bearing deposits. During the same period, certificates of deposit decreased $40 million, or 16%, with brokered deposits representing $12 million of that decrease. Money market accounts increased $31 million, or 11% from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019.



	49

The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits increased 41 basis points from 1.42% for the year ended December 31, 2018 to 1.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Rates paid on certificates of deposit increased 57 basis points over the same period. The increase in the average rates was primarily due to increases in market interest rates.

The following table presents the average balances and average rates paid on deposits for the periods indicated:

Borrowings

We primarily utilize short-term and long-term borrowings to supplement deposits to fund our lending and investment activities, each of which is discussed below.

FHLB Advances. The FHLB allows us to borrow up to 25% of our assets on a blanket floating lien status collateralized by certain securities and loans. As of March 31, 2019, approximately $218.0 million in real estate loans and $6.4 million in investment securities were pledged as collateral for our FHLB borrowings. We utilize these borrowings to meet liquidity needs and to fund certain fixed rate loans in our portfolio. As of March 31, 2019, we had no outstanding advances and $201.9 million in available borrowing capacity from the FHLB.



	50

The following table sets forth certain information on our FHLB borrowings during the periods presented:

FHLB ADVANCES



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2019			For the Year Ended December 31, 2018
(in thousands)
Amount outstanding at period-end	$	—		$	2,000
Weighted average interest rate at period-end	—		%	4.26		%

Average balance outstanding during the period	$	7,289		$	8,101
Weighted average interest rate during the period	3.09		%	2.83		%

Other borrowed funds. The Company has also issued a senior promissory note, junior subordinated debentures and other subordinated notes. At March 31, 2019, these other borrowings amounted to $15.4 million.

On July 30, 2014, we issued a senior promissory note in an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million, which was scheduled to mature on July 31, 2019. The senior promissory note was repaid during the first quarter of 2018.

At March 31, 2019, our junior subordinated debentures amounted to $2.1 million. The junior subordinated debentures were issued in June of 2006, mature on June 15, 2036, and may be redeemed prior to that date under certain circumstances. The principal amount of the debentures has not changed since issuance, and they accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 1.87%.

On November 24, 2015, the Company issued $13.5 million in aggregate principal amount of subordinated notes with a maturity date of December 1, 2025. The notes may be redeemed prior to the maturity date under certain circumstances. The notes bear interest at 6.95% for the first five years, then adjust to the three-month LIBOR plus 5.33%.

Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond has an available borrower in custody arrangement which allows us to borrow on a collateralized basis. The Company’s borrowing capacity under the Federal Reserve’s discount window program was $16.5 million as of March 31, 2019. Certain commercial loans are pledged under this arrangement. We maintain this borrowing arrangement to meet liquidity needs pursuant to our contingency funding plan. No advances were outstanding under this facility as of March 31, 2019.

The Company also has available lines of credit of $28.0 million with other correspondent banks at March 31, 2019, as well as access to certificate of deposit funding through a financial network which is limited to 15% of the Bank’s assets.



	51

Liquidity

Liquidity is defined as the Bank’s capacity to meet its cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost. Maintaining an adequate level of liquidity depends on the Bank’s ability to meet both expected and unexpected cash flows and collateral needs efficiently without adversely affecting either daily operations or the financial condition of the Bank. Liquidity risk is the risk that we will be unable to meet our obligations as they become due because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding. The Bank’s obligations, and the funding sources used to meet them, depend significantly on our business mix, balance sheet structure and the cash flow profiles of our on- and off-balance sheet obligations. In managing our cash flows, management regularly confronts situations that can give rise to increased liquidity risk. These include funding mismatches, market constraints on the ability to convert assets into cash or in accessing sources of funds (i.e., market liquidity) and contingent liquidity events. Changes in economic conditions or exposure to credit, market, operation, legal and reputational risks also could affect the Bank’s liquidity risk profile and are considered in the assessment of liquidity and asset/liability management.

Management has established a comprehensive management process for identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling liquidity risk. Because of its critical importance to the viability of the Bank, liquidity risk management is fully integrated into our risk management processes. Critical elements of our liquidity risk management include: effective corporate governance consisting of oversight by the board of directors and active involvement by management; appropriate strategies, policies, procedures, and limits used to manage 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 Bank; 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 a number of 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 brokered certificates of deposit, deposit listing services, CDARS, borrowings from the FHLB and other lines of credit.

There were no borrowings outstanding with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond at March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018, and our borrowing capacity is limited only by eligible collateral. As of March 31, 2019, we had $201.9 million of available borrowing capacity from the FHLB, $16.5 million of available borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and available lines of credit of $28.0 million with other correspondent banks. Cash and cash equivalents were $38.4 million at March 31, 2019 and $34.7 million at December 31, 2018. Accordingly, our liquidity resources were at sufficient levels to fund loans and meet other cash needs as necessary.

Capital Resources

Stockholders’ equity increased $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. Net income resulted in an increase to retained earnings of $3.2 million as of March 31, 2019. Stock options exercised, shares issued as compensation, shares sold and stock-based compensation increased common stock and additional paid-in capital aggregately by $456 thousand. This increase was offset by the change in net unrealized losses on available for sale securities of $330 thousand.

The Company uses several indicators of capital strength. The most commonly used measure is average common equity to average assets (computed as average equity divided by average total assets), which was 10.67% at March 31, 2019 and 8.76% at December 31, 2018.

The following table shows the return on average assets (computed as net income divided by average total assets), return on average equity (computed as net income divided by average equity) and average equity to average assets ratios for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018.



	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Return on Average Assets⁽¹⁾	1.22	%	1.22	%
Return on Average Equity⁽¹⁾	11.39	%	13.94	%
Average Equity to Average Assets	10.67	%	8.76	%

_______________

(1)These ratios are annualized for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital as a percentage of assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 1250%. The Company and the Bank are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on quarterly average assets, which is known as the leverage ratio.

In July 2013, federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that revised their risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with certain standards that were developed by Basel III and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rule applies to all depository institutions and bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of more than $1 billion. The Bank was required to implement the new Basel III capital standards (subject to the phase-in for certain parts of the new rules) as of January 1, 2015. In August of 2018 the Regulatory Relief Act directed the Federal Reserve Board to revise the Small BHC Policy Statement to raise the total consolidated asset limit in the Small BHC Policy Statement from $1 billion to $3 billion. The Company was previously required to comply with the minimum capital requirements on a consolidated basis; however, the Company continues to meet the conditions of the revised Small BHC Policy Statement and was, therefore, exempt from the consolidated capital requirements at December 31, 2018.



	53

As of March 31, 2019, the Company and the Bank were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements to which they were subject, and the Bank was classified as “well capitalized” for purposes of the prompt corrective action regulations. As we deploy our capital and continue to grow our operations, our regulatory capital levels may decrease depending on our level of earnings. However, we intend to monitor and control our growth in order to remain in compliance with all regulatory capital standards applicable to us. See “Supervision and Regulation—Capital Adequacy Guidelines” for additional discussion regarding the regulatory capital requirements applicable to the Company and the Bank.

The following table presents the regulatory capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of the dates indicated.

Contractual Obligations

We have contractual obligations to make future payments on debt agreements. While our liquidity monitoring and management consider both present and future demands for and sources of liquidity, the following table of contractual commitments focuses only on future obligations and summarizes our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Items

In the normal course of business, we enter into various transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in our consolidated balance sheets. We enter into these transactions to meet the financing needs of our customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and issue letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amounts of these commitments. The same credit policies and procedures are used in making these commitments as for on-balance sheet instruments. We are not aware of any accounting loss to be incurred by funding these commitments, however we maintain an allowance for off-balance sheet credit risk which is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Our commitments associated with outstanding letters of credit and commitments to extend credit expiring by period as of the date indicated are summarized below. Since commitments associated with letters of credit and commitments to extend credit may expire unused, the amounts shown do not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements.

CREDIT EXTENSION COMMITMENTS



	As of March 31, 2019		As of December 31, 2018
(in thousands)
Unfunded lines of credit	$	220,395	$	209,209
Commitments to originate residential loans held for sale	396		647
Letters of credit	5,825		6,216
Total credit extension commitments	$	226,616	$	216,072

Unfunded lines of credit represent unused credit facilities to our current borrowers that represent no change in credit risk that exist in our portfolio. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates. In the event of nonperformance by the customer in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, we would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of 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 and/or marketable securities. Our policies generally require that letter of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements and our credit risk associated with issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risk involved in extending loan facilities to our customers.

We minimize our exposure to loss under letters of credit and credit commitments by subjecting them to the same credit approval and monitoring procedures as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. The effect



	55

on our revenue, expenses, cash flows and liquidity of the unused portions of these letters of credit commitments cannot be precisely predicted because there is no guarantee that the lines of credit will be used.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds to a customer, 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. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if considered necessary by us, upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

We enter into forward commitments for the delivery of mortgage loans in our current pipeline. Interest rate lock commitments are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from our commitments to fund the loans. These commitments to fund mortgage loans, to be sold into the secondary market, (interest rate lock commitments) and forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors are considered derivatives.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk

As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Our asset liability and funds management policy provides management with the guidelines for effective funds management, and we have established a measurement system for monitoring our net interest rate sensitivity position. We manage our sensitivity position within our established guidelines.

Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, other than those that have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income.

We manage our exposure to interest rates by structuring our balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. We do not enter into instruments such as leveraged derivatives, financial options or financial future contracts for the purpose of reducing interest rate risk. We do hedge the interest rate risks of our available for sale mortgage pipeline by using mortgage-backed securities short positions, and of our subordinated debentures by utilizing an interest rate swap. Based on the nature of our operations, we are not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price risk. We do not own any trading assets.

Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Bank’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. The committee formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the committee considers the impact on earnings and capital on the current outlook on interest rates, potential changes in interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. The committee meets regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activities, commitments to originate loans and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the committee reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits and consumer and commercial deposit activity. Management employs methodologies to manage interest rate risk, which include an analysis of relationships between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and an interest rate shock simulation model.

The following table indicates that, for periods less than one year, rate-sensitive assets exceeded rate-sensitive liabilities, resulting in an asset-sensitive position. For a bank with an asset-sensitive position, or positive gap, rising interest rates would generally be expected to have a positive effect on net interest income, and falling interest rates would generally be expected to have the opposite effect.

We use quarterly Earnings at Risk (“EAR”) simulations to assess the impact of changing interest rates on our earnings under a variety of scenarios 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 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 models are also utilized that rely on detailed assumptions regarding changes in existing lines of business, new business, and changes in management and client behavior.

We also use economic value-based methodologies to measure the degree to which the economic values of the Bank’s positions change under different interest rate scenarios. 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.

Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our net interest income, such as asset prepayments, non-maturity deposit price sensitivity and decay rates, and key rate drivers. Because of the inherent use of these estimates and assumptions in the model, our actual results may, and most likely will, differ from our static EAR results. In addition, static EAR results do not include actions that our management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates or client behavior. For example, as part of our asset/liability management strategy, management has the ability to increase asset duration and decrease liability duration in order to reduce asset sensitivity, or to decrease asset duration and increase liability duration in order to increase asset sensitivity.

The following table summarizes the results of our EAR analysis in simulating the change in net interest income and fair value of equity over a 12-month horizon as of March 31, 2019:

IMPACT ON NET INTEREST INCOME UNDER A STATIC BALANCE SHEET, PARALLEL INTEREST RATE SHOCK



Earnings at Risk	-100 bps		Flat		+100 bps		+200 bps		+300 bps
March 31, 2019	(4.0	)%	0.0	%	4.4	%	8.8	%	13.3	%

Utilizing an economic value of equity (“EVE”) approach, we analyze the risk to capital from the effects of various interest rate scenarios through a long-term discounted cash flow model. This measures the difference between the economic value of our assets and the economic value of our liabilities, which is a proxy for our liquidation value. While this provides some value as a risk measurement tool, management believes EAR is more appropriate in accordance with the going concern principle.

The following table illustrates the results of our EVE analysis as of March 31, 2019.
