OPTIMUMBANK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1)	General. OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a one-bank holding company and owns 100% of OptimumBank (the “Bank”), a Florida-chartered commercial bank. The Company’s only business is the operation of the Bank (collectively, the “Company”). The Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank offers a variety of community banking services to individual and corporate customers through its three banking offices located in Broward County, Florida.
	Basis of Presentation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2019, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
	Junior Subordinated Debenture. The Company is in default with respect to its $5,155,000 Junior Subordinated Debenture (the “Debenture”) due to its failure to make certain required interest payments under the Debenture. The Debenture was issued to OptimumBank Holdings Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust formed by the Company for the purpose of issuing and selling certain securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) representing undivided beneficial interests in the Debenture. The trust issued a total of 5,000 Trust Preferred Securities. The Trustee, Wells Fargo Bank, for the Debenture (the “Trustee”) and the beneficial owners of the Debenture are entitled to accelerate the payment of the $5,155,000 principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest totaling $1,947,000 at September 30, 2019. To date, neither the Trustee nor the holders have accelerated the outstanding balance of the Debenture. No adjustments to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been made as a result of this uncertainty. In May 2018, a company affiliated with a director of the Company (the “New Holder”) purchased all 5,000 Trust Preferred Securities from a third party. During the third quarter of 2018, the New Holder sold its rights in 694 of the Trust Preferred Securities to several unaffiliated third parties, who subsequently exchanged these Trust Preferred Securities for 301,778 shares of the Company’s common stock. The transaction was recorded as an increase in the Company’s equity interest in the unconsolidated subsidiary trust, presented in “Other Assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Although the Company and the New Holder have not executed a formal, definitive bilateral agreement, the New Holder has provided the Company with written representations that the New Holder will not accelerate and demand payment of any of the remaining 4,306 Trust Preferred Securities principal or accrued interest within twelve months from November 14, 2019, the date the Company’s Form 10-Q as of and for the period ended September 30, 2019, was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
	Comprehensive (Loss) Income. GAAP generally requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net (loss) earnings. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, such items along with net (loss) earnings, are components of comprehensive (loss) income.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of the following (in thousands):

	September 30,			December 31,
	2019			2018
Unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale	$	16		$	(64	)
Unamortized portion of unrealized loss related to securities available for sale transferred to securities held-to-maturity		(310	)		(377	)
Income tax benefit		74			111
	$	(220	)	$	(330	)

Income Taxes. The Company assessed its earnings history and trends and estimates of future earnings, and determined that the deferred tax asset could not be realized as of September 30, 2019. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded against the net deferred tax asset.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts have been reclassified to allow for consistent presentation in the periods presented.

Recent Pronouncements. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 is intended to improve financial reporting of leasing transactions by requiring organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. Our only lease at the adoption date was an operating lease for a branch location that has a “5 year term”, commenced in December 2017, does not offer any options to extend, and does contain a rent escalation clause. The effect of this ASU increased total assets by $281,000 and total liabilities by $281,000, at the adoption date. During June 2019, the Company entered into another operating lease agreement which commenced in September 2019, has a “10 year term”, does not offer any options to extend, and does contain a rent escalation clause. This resulted in an additional increase to total assets of $863,000 and total liabilities of $863,000.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU improves financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by the Company. The ASU requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. The Company will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The ASU will take effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, as the FASB approved delaying the initially anticipated effective date of January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the effect of the ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2018, the bank transferred $7,945,000 of securities from the available-for-sale category to the held-to-maturity category at their then fair values resulting in unrealized losses of $432,000. The unrealized loss was recorded in stockholders’ equity net of amortization and net of tax and is being amortized over the remaining term of the securities. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $122,000 and $55,000, respectively, has been amortized.

There were no sales of securities during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Securities, Continued. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospectus of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the unrealized losses on six and seven investment securities, respectively, were caused by market conditions. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the book value of the investments. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to market conditions and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

(3)	Loans, Continued. The Company has divided the loan portfolio into six portfolio segments, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing risk. All loans are underwritten based upon standards set forth in the policies approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Company identifies the portfolio segments as follows: Residential Real Estate, Multi-Family Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Land and Construction. Residential real estate loans are underwritten based on repayment capacity and source, value of the underlying property, credit history and stability. The Company offers first and second one-to-four family mortgage loans; the collateral for these loans is generally the clients’ owner-occupied residences. Although these types of loans present lower levels of risk than commercial real estate loans, risks do still exist because of possible fluctuations in the value of the real estate collateral securing the loan, as well as changes in the borrowers’ financial condition. Multi-family and commercial real estate loans are secured by the subject property and are underwritten based upon standards set forth in the policies approved by the Board. Such standards include, among other factors, loan to value limits, cash flow coverage and general creditworthiness of the obligors. Construction loans to borrowers finance the construction of owner occupied and leased properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to commercial or residential real estate loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Real estate development and construction loans are approved based on an analysis of the borrower and guarantor, the viability of the project and an acceptable percentage of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. Real estate development and construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction completed. The Company carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Development and construction loans are typically secured by the properties under development or construction, and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the underlying property, the Company considers the market conditions and feasibility of proposed projects, the financial condition and reputation of the borrower and guarantors, the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project, independent appraisals, cost estimates and pre-construction sales information. The Company also makes loans on occasion for the purchase of land for future development by the borrower. Land loans are extended for future development for either commercial or residential use by the borrower. The Company carefully analyzes the intended use of the property and the viability thereof.
	Commercial. Commercial business loans and lines of credit consist of loans to small- and medium-sized companies in the Company’s market area. Commercial loans are generally used for working capital purposes or for acquiring equipment, inventory or furniture. Primarily all of the Company’s commercial loans are secured loans, along with a small amount of unsecured loans. The Company’s underwriting analysis consists of a review of the financial statements of the borrower, the lending history of the borrower, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business, the value of the collateral, if any, and whether the loan is guaranteed by the principals of the borrower. These loans are generally secured by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Commercial loans are typically made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business, which makes them of higher risk than residential loans and the collateral securing loans may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. The Company seeks to minimize these risks through its underwriting standards.
	Consumer. Consumer loans are extended for various purposes, including purchases of automobiles, recreational vehicles, and boats. Also offered are home improvement loans, lines of credit, personal loans, and deposit account collateralized loans. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts.

Internally assigned loan grades are defined as follows:

Pass – a Pass loan’s primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary. These are loans that conform in all aspects to bank policy and regulatory requirements, and no repayment risk has been identified.

OLEM – an Other Loan Especially Mentioned has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard – a Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Included in this category are loans that are current on their payments, but the Bank is unable to document the source of repayment. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – a loan classified as Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified as Substandard, with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future. The Company charges off any loan classified as Doubtful.

Loss – a loan classified as Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. The Company fully charges off any loan classified as Loss.

The restructuring of a loan constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the creditor grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider in the normal course of business. A concession may include an extension of repayment terms which would not normally be granted, a reduction in interest rate or the forgiveness of principal and/or accrued interest. All TDRs are evaluated individually for impairment on a quarterly basis as part of the allowance for loan losses calculation. The Company entered into two new TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

(4) (Loss) Earnings Per Share. Basic (loss) earnings per share have been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, and the three month period ended September 30, 2018, basic and diluted loss per share is the same due to the net loss incurred by the Company. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, basic and diluted earnings per share is the same as there were no outstanding potentially dilutive securities. (Loss) earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:

Following is the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Off- Balance Sheet Financial Instruments. The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit to customers is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments. Standby letters of credit generally have expiration dates within one year.

Commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded. A summary of the contractual amounts of the Company’s financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at September 30, 2019 follows (in thousands):

Commitments to extend credit	$	2,665
Unused lines of credit	$	4,864
Standby letters of credit	$	—

(9)	Regulatory Matters. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the bank regulatory agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
	The Bank is subject to the Basel III capital level threshold requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations with full compliance phased in over a multi-year schedule. These new regulations were designed to ensure that banks maintain strong capital positions even in the event of severe economic downturns or unforeseen losses.
	The Bank is subject to the capital conservation buffer rules which place limitations on distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. In order to avoid these limitations, an institution must hold a capital conservation buffer above its minimum risk-based capital requirements. As of September 30, 2019, the Bank’s capital conservation buffer exceeds the minimum requirements of 2.50%.

Regulatory Matters, Continued.

Company Written Agreement with Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (“FRB”). On June 22, 2010, the Company and the FRB entered into a Written Agreement with respect to certain aspects of the operation and management of the Company. The Written Agreement prohibits, without the prior approval of the FRB, the payment of cash dividends, taking dividends or payments from the Bank, making any interest, principal or other distributions on account of the Debenture, incurring, increasing or guaranteeing any debt, purchasing or redeeming any shares of stock, or appointing any new director or senior executive officer. On September 11, 2019, the FRB notified the Company that the Written Agreement was terminated based upon the improvements noted at the June 7, 2019 off-site review.

(10)	Junior Subordinated Debenture. On September 30, 2004, the Company issued a $5,155,000 Junior Subordinated Debenture (the “Debenture”) to Optimum Bank Holdings Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust formed by the Company for the purpose of issuing and selling certain securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) representing undivided beneficial interests in the Debenture. The trust issued a total of 5,000 Trust Preferred Securities. The Debenture has a term of thirty years. The interest rate was fixed at 6.40% for the first five years, and thereafter, the coupon rate floats quarterly at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 2.45% (4.48% at September 30, 2019). The Debenture is redeemable in certain circumstances. The terms of the Debenture allow the Company to defer payments of interest on the Debenture by extending the interest payment period at any time during the term of the Debenture for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods.
	Beginning in 2010, the Company exercised its right to defer payment of interest on the Debenture. Interest payments deferred as of September 30, 2019 totaled $1,947,000. The Company has deferred interest payments with respect to the Debenture for the maximum allowable twenty consecutive quarterly payments. The Company is in default under the Debenture due to its failure to make required interest payments. The Trustee for the Debenture and the beneficial owners of the Debenture can accelerate the $5,155,000 principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest, as a result of this default. To date, neither the Trustee nor the holders have accelerated the outstanding balance of the Debenture. No adjustments to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been made as a result of this uncertainty.
	In May 2018, a company affiliated with a director of the Company (the “New Holder”) purchased all 5,000 Trust Preferred Securities from a third party. During the third quarter of 2018, the New Holder sold its rights in 694 of the Trust Preferred Securities to several unaffiliated third parties, who subsequently exchanged these Trust Preferred Securities for 301,778 shares of the Company’s common stock. The transaction was recorded as an increase in the Company’s equity interest in the unconsolidated subsidiary trust, presented in “Other Assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
	Although the Company and the New Holder have not executed a formal, definitive bilateral agreement, the New Holder has provided the Company with written representations that the New Holder will not accelerate and demand payment of any of the remaining 4,306 Trust Preferred Securities principal or accrued interest within twelve months from November 14, 2019, the date the Company’s Form 10-Q as of and for the period ended September 30, 2019, was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(11)	Branch Relocation. In June 2019, the Company entered into a sales contract to sell one of its branch locations. Also in June 2019, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement for the purpose of relocating the aforementioned branch. The Company has received regulatory approval for the branch relocation. The lease for the new location commenced during September 2019.
	The sale was completed in November 2019 for $1,400,000. The Company financed $1,050,000 of the total sales price. In connection with the sale, the Company recorded a loss in the consolidated statement of operations of $215,000 in November 2019.

Lease. We adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases on January 1, 2019, which initially resulted in the recognition of one operating lease on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in 2019 and forward. See Note 1 – Recent Pronouncements for more information on the adoption of the ASU. We determine if a contract contains a lease at inception and recognize operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments at the adoption date. During September 2019, the lessor of the new branch location made the location available to the Company for use. Accordingly, the Company recognized an additional operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability that amounted to $863,000. As our leases do not provide implicit rates, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease agreements that have lease and non-lease components, are accounted for as a single lease component. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company’s operating lease obligation is for two of the Company’s branch locations. Our leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term of approximately 8.6 years and do not offer options to extend the leases. The components of lease expense and other lease information are as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2019		Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2019
Operating Lease Cost	$	19	$	57
Cash paid for amounts included in measurement of lease liabilities	$	18	$	54

	Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2018		Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2018
Operating Lease Expense Recognized	$	22	$	67
Cash paid for amounts included in measurement of lease liabilities	$	N/A	$	N/A

N/A – Not applicable during 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 Leases on January 1, 2019.

Operating lease liabilities	$	1,095
Weighted-average remaining lease term		8.6 years
Weighted-average discount rate		2.1	%

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases, reconciled to our discounted operating lease liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

	At September 30, 2019
Remainder of 2019	$	40
2020	$	158
2021	$	163

2023	$	92
Thereafter	$	583
Total future minimum lease payments	$	1,197
Less imputed interest	$	(102	)
Total operating lease liability	$	1,095

(13)	Subsequent Event
	On October 23, 2019, the Company filed an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase the aggregate number of shares of stock of all classes that the corporation shall have authority to issue is 16,000,000 shares, of which 10,000,000 shares shall be common stock, $.01 par value per share, and of which 6,000,000 shares shall be preferred stock, no par value.

Regulatory Matters

Company Written Agreement with Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (“FRB”). On June 22, 2010, the Company and the FRB entered into a Written Agreement with respect to certain aspects of the operation and management of the Company. The Written Agreement prohibited, without the prior approval of the FRB, the payment of dividends, taking dividends or payments from the Bank, making any interest, principal or other distributions on account of the Debenture, incurring, increasing or guaranteeing any debt, purchasing or redeeming any shares of stock, or appointing any new director or senior executive officer.

On September 11, 2019, The FRB notified the Company that the Written Agreement was terminated based upon the improvements noted at the June 7, 2019 off-site review.

Expansion of Holding Company Activities

On October 9, 2019, the Company filed with the FRB a declaration to become a financial holding company. The declaration was reviewed by the FRB and became effective as of October 31, 2019. As a financial holding company, the Company can engage in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity. The change in status will allow the Company to engage in activities including but not limited to residential mortgage leading, operating a finance or leasing company and insurance premium financing.

Capital Levels

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to average assets. As of September 30, 2019, the Bank met the minimum applicable capital adequacy requirements.

Refer to Note 9 for the Bank’s actual and required minimum capital ratios.

Financial Condition at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018

Overview

The Company’s total assets increased by approximately $19.2 million to $119.3 million at September 30, 2019, from $100.1 million at December 31, 2018, primarily due to an increase in total deposits offset by a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Total stockholders’ equity decreased by approximately $514,000 to $4.8 million at September 30, 2019, from $5.3 million at December 31, 2018, primarily due to the net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, offset by common stock issued as compensation to one director during 2019.

The following table shows selected information for the dates indicated:

	Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2019			Year Ended December 31, 2018
Average equity as a percentage of average assets		4.6	%		4.4	%

Liquidity and Sources of Funds

The Company’s sources of funds include customer deposits, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), principal repayments and sales of investment securities, loan repayments, foreclosed real estate sales, the use of Federal Funds markets, net earnings, if any, and loans taken out at the Federal Reserve Bank discount window.

Deposits are our primary source of funds. In order to increase its core deposits, the Company has priced its deposit rates competitively. The Company will adjust rates on its deposits to attract or retain deposits as needed.

The Bank increased deposits by $30.9 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019. The proceeds were used to paydown FHLB Advances and listing service Certificates of deposits, and originate new loans.

In addition to obtaining funds from depositors, we may borrow funds from other financial institutions. At September 30, 2019, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $13.0 million, against its $27.6 million in established borrowing capacity with the FHLB. The Company’s borrowing facility is subject to collateral and stock ownership requirements, as well as prior FHLB consent to each advance. The Bank has an available discount window credit line with the Federal Reserve Bank, currently $373,000. The Federal Reserve Bank line is subject to collateral requirements and must be repaid within 90 days; each advance is subject to prior Federal Reserve Bank consent. At September 30, 2019, the Company also had lines of credit amounting to $8.4 million with four correspondent banks to purchase federal funds. The Company had no outstanding federal funds purchased at September 30, 2019 and $560,000 outstanding at December 31, 2018. Disbursements on the lines of credit are subject to the approval of the correspondent banks. We measure and monitor our liquidity daily and believe our liquidity sources are adequate to meet our operating needs.

General. Net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2019, was ($280,000) or $(.15) per basic and diluted share compared to net loss of $(202,000) or $(.13) per basic and diluted share for the three month period ended September 30, 2018.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $156,000 to $1.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2018. The increase in interest income was caused primarily by an increase in loans.

Interest Expense. Interest expense on deposits and borrowings increased to $538,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 from $323,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2018. The Bank continued to attract local deposits during 2019.

Provision for Loan Losses. There was a $45,000 provision or credit for losses during the three month period ended September 30, 2019. The provision or credit for loan losses is charged to operations as losses are estimated to have occurred in order to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio at September 30, 2019 and 2018. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by us, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral, loans identified as impaired, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to our market areas, and other factors related to the estimated collectability of our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.1 million or 2.23% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2019, as compared to $2.2 million or 2.83% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2018.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased to $29,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2019, from $21,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 due to loan related fees.

Noninterest Expenses. Total noninterest expenses decreased $18,000 to $987,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1,005,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2018.

Comparison of the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

General. Net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, was ($856,000) or ($.45) per basic and diluted share compared to net earnings of $1,417,000 or $1.03 per basic and diluted share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018. The substantial earnings in 2018 were due to the $2.1 million reversal of the Company’s allowance for loan losses.

Interest Income. Interest income increased to $3.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 from $3.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in interest earning assets.

Interest Expense. Interest expense on deposits and borrowings increased $606,000 to $1.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior period. The increase in interest expense was caused by the net effect of an increase in deposits and a decrease in borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses. There was a $45,000 provision or credit for losses during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019. The Bank reversed $2.1 million of the allowance for loan losses into income during the second quarter of 2018. The provision or credit for loan losses is charged to operations as losses are estimated to have occurred in order to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio at September 30, 2019 and 2018. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by us, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral, loans identified as impaired, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to our market areas, and other factors related to the estimated collectability of our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.1 million or 2.23% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2019, as compared to $2.2 million or 2.83% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2018.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased by $84,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, to $153,000 compared to $69,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 due to increased loan related fees.

Noninterest Expenses. Total noninterest expenses increased $194,000 to $3.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to $3.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018.
