The financial statements and accompanying notes are presented on a consolidated basis including Uwharrie Capital Corp (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, Uwharrie Bank (the “Bank”), Uwharrie Investment Advisors, Inc. (“UIA”), and Uwharrie Mortgage, Inc. The Bank consolidates its subsidiaries, the Strategic Alliance Corporation, BOS Agency, Inc. and Gateway Mortgage, Inc., each of which is wholly owned by the Bank.

The information contained in the consolidated financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results of interim periods, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire year. Management continues to evaluate the impact of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel Coronavirus, beyond the current impacts as of September 30, 2020, which are discussed throughout the accompanying notes of this report. Management is not aware of additional economic events, outside influences or changes in concentrations of business that would require additional clarification or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2020. This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with such Annual Report.

Congress, the President, the Federal Reserve, and other federal agencies have taken several actions designed to mitigate the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law at the end of March 2020 as a $2 trillion legislative package. The goal of the CARES Act is to prevent or mitigate a severe economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors. In addition to the general impact of COVID-19, certain provisions of the CARES Act as well as other recent legislative and regulatory relief efforts are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s operations.

While it is not possible to know the full extent of the damage to the U.S. and local economies that have been created by the impact of COVID-19, the following are certain areas that could be adversely impacted:

The Company’s interest income could be reduced due to COVID-19. The Company is actively working with customers affected by the pandemic to defer payments, interest and fees. The interest and fees will continue to accrue, based on GAAP guidelines; however, should credit losses on the deferred payments occur, the accrued interest and fees would be reversed. As such, interest income in future periods could be negatively impacted. At this time, the Company is unable to project the materiality of such an impact, but recognizes the breadth of the economic impact may affect its borrowers’ ability to repay in future periods.

As outlined in the CARES Act, the Company is providing a payment deferral option for commercial and consumer loans adversely affected by the pandemic. In accordance with the CARES Act, these modifications are not required to be reported as troubled debt restructurings. The Company is initially providing up to a three-month deferral period or conversion to interest only repayment for up to three months to allow for re-evaluation in a timely manner based on the economic impact at that time. Additional extensions may be considered. Loans are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and the Company will work with borrowers that express an interest in the assistance program. As of September 30, 2020, 16 outstanding loans were modified with a recorded investment of $12.8 million. Of the loans currently under accommodation, 5 had entered payment deferral a second time. Additionally, 178 previously modified loans with outstanding balances totaling $43.6 million have come out of deferment. Of the loans removed from deferment, 13 with balances totaling $3.4 million were paid-off, 161 loans totaling $39.9 million were out of accommodation and current at September 30, 2020 and 4 loans totaling $346,000 were removed due to noncompliance.

The Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which is administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), was created as part of the CARES Act. The Company participated in assisting its customers with applications for funds through the program. PPP loans have a two-year term or, if approved after June 5, 2020, a five-year term and earn interest at 1%. The Company believes that the

majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has funded 1,202 PPP loans representing $81 million. It is the Company’s understanding that loans funded through the PPP are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. Should those circumstances change, the Company could be required to establish additional allowance for loan loss through additional provision expense charged to earnings.

As a result of job losses, business closures, and the impending termination of certain fiscal stimulus programs enacted under the CARES Act, the Company could incur additional provision expense to increase the allowance for loan losses. It is possible that the Company’s asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

Certain amounts in the 2019 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation. These reclassifications did not have an impact on net income or shareholders’ equity.

The Company reports as comprehensive income all changes in shareholders’ equity during the year from sources other than shareholders. Other comprehensive income refers to all components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) of comprehensive income that are excluded from net income. The Company’s only component of other comprehensive income is unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax, on investment securities available for sale.

The following table presents the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

In 2013, the Company’s subsidiary bank issued a total of $10.7 million of Fixed Rate Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B and Series C. The preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital at the bank and pays dividends at an annual rate of 5.30%. The preferred stock has no voting rights. This capital is presented as noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheets. Dividends declared on this preferred stock are presented as earnings allocated to the noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of income.

On October 20, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a 2% stocked dividend payable on November 23, 2020 to shareholders of record on November 9, 2020. All information presented in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements regarding earnings per share and weighted average number of shares outstanding has been computed giving effect to this stock dividend. The number of shares and earnings per share for the 2019 periods have also been adjusted for the 2% stock dividend declared on November 12, 2019.

Basic and diluted net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period after retroactively adjusting for stock dividends. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income of the Company. The Company had no stock options outstanding at September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Basic and diluted net income per common share have been computed based upon net income available to common shareholders as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding or assumed to be outstanding.

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 7,105,982 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to 7,323,166 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, the weighted average common shares outstanding was 7,145,938 compared to 7,370,663 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Carrying amounts and fair values of securities available for sale and held to maturity are summarized below:

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company owned Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) stock reported at cost of $509,000 for both periods, and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock of $657,000 and $635,000, respectively. The investments in FRB stock and FHLB stock are required investments related to the Company’s membership in, and borrowings with, these banks and is classified as restricted stock on the consolidated balance sheet. These investments are carried at cost since there is no ready market and redemption has historically been made at par value. The Company estimated that the fair value approximated cost and that these investments were not impaired at September 30, 2020.

Results from sales of securities available for sale for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 are as follows:

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, securities available for sale with a carrying amount of $87.7 million and $65.3 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral on public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and fair value of investments, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. These unrealized losses on investment securities are a result of temporary fluctuations in market prices and are in no way a reflection of the credit quality of the investments. At September 30, 2020, the unrealized losses on available for sale securities less than twelve months related to three government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) mortgage-backed securities, seven asset-backed securities, thirteen state and political subdivision bonds, two government agency bonds, and one corporate bond. At December 31, 2019, the unrealized losses on available for sale securities less than twelve months related to three government agency bonds, six GSE mortgage backed securities, and one state and political subdivision bond. At December 31, 2019, the Company had four government agency bonds and nine GSE mortgage backed securities that had been in a loss position for twelve months or more. At December 31, 2019, the unrealized losses for less than twelve months on held to maturity securities related to one corporate bond.

Declines in the fair value of the investment portfolio are believed by management to be temporary in nature. When evaluating an investment for other-than-temporary impairment, management considers, among other things, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been in a loss position, the financial condition of the issuer and the intent and the ability of the Company to hold the investment until the loss position is recovered.

Any unrealized losses were largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time of purchase. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of quality but that the losses are temporary in nature. At

September 30, 2020, the Company does not intend to sell and is not likely to be required to sell the available for sale securities that were in a loss position prior to full recovery.

The aggregate amortized cost and fair value of the available for sale securities portfolio at September 30, 2020 by remaining contractual maturity are as follows:

The composition of net loans held for investment by class as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

With the impact of COVID-19 on all industries, the hotel and SBA (non-PPP) loan categories on the Company’s balance sheet have been identified as having elevated credit risk. The SBA (non-PPP) loan category reflects the unguaranteed portion of SBA guaranteed loans originated by the Company. SBA PPP loans, while 100% guaranteed by SBA, could result in some loss if fraud occurs or there are reporting issues or duplicate funding of loans. These additional reserves allocated $172,000 to the reserve that was not present prior to June 30, 2020.

In addition, management eliminated its qualitative factor based on a 21-day weighted average of the VIX index, a real-time index that measures the expectation of the market’s 30-day forward-looking volatility, and replaced it with a multi-factor linear regression encompassing the following economic data: Case Shiller for North Carolina (NC) home price index, NC unemployment rate, 2-year 10-year US Treasury spread, customer sentiment, and a VIX quarterly average factor. This qualitative factor update increased provisions by approximately $379,000 from March 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020. Due to the lagging nature of the data (primarily unemployment data from U.S. Government data) used in the multi-factor linear regression, management adopted an additional qualitative factor to incorporate more current unemployment data that was developed from unofficial sources. The impact to the third quarter resulted in a $675,000 additional reserve for loan losses. The factor further represents the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and adverse economic impacts.

The following table shows the change in the allowance for loss losses by loan segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

The following table shows period-end loans and reserve balances by loan segment both individually and collectively evaluated for impairment at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Once a loan becomes 90 days past due, the loan is automatically transferred to a non-accrual status. The exception to this policy is credit card loans that remain in accruing status 90 days or more until they are paid current or charged off.

The Company had $0 in foreclosed residential real estate and $396,000 of residential real estate in process of foreclosure at September 30, 2020. At December 31, 2019, the Company had $130,000 in foreclosed residential real estate and $387,000 of residential real estate in process of foreclosure.

The composition of non-accrual loans by class as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was as follows:

Management uses a risk-grading program to facilitate the evaluation of probable inherent loan losses and to measure the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In this program, risk grades are initially assigned by the loan officers and reviewed and monitored by the lenders and credit administration. The program has eight risk grades summarized in five categories as follows:

Pass: Loans that are pass grade credits include loans that are fundamentally sound, with risk factors that are reasonable and acceptable. They generally conform to policy with only minor exceptions; any major exceptions are clearly mitigated by other economic factors.

Watch: Loans that are watch credits include loans on management’s watch list where a risk concern may be anticipated in the near future.

Substandard: Loans that are considered substandard are loans that are inadequately protected by current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the value of the collateral pledged. All non-accrual loans are graded as substandard.

Doubtful: Loans that are considered to be doubtful have all weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard, plus the added characteristic that the weaknesses make the collection or liquidation in full on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values highly questionable and improbable.

Loss: Loans that are considered to be a loss are considered to be uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.

The tables below summarize risk grades of the loan portfolio by class at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Loans that are in non-accrual status or 90 days past due and still accruing are considered to be nonperforming. At both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 there were no loans 90 days past due and still accruing. The following tables show the breakdown between performing and nonperforming loans by class at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. If a loan is deemed impaired, a specific calculation is performed and a specific reserve is allocated, if necessary. The tables below summarize the loans deemed impaired and the amount of specific reserves allocated by class at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

A modification of a loan constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification involves providing a concession to the existing loan contract. The Company offers various types of concessions when modifying loans to troubled borrowers, however, forgiveness of principal is rarely granted. Concessions offered are term extensions, capitalizing accrued interest, reducing interest rates to below current market rates or a combination of any of these. Combinations from time to time may include allowing a customer to be placed on interest-only payments. The presentations below in the “other” category are TDRs with a combination of concessions. At the time of a TDR, additional collateral or a guarantor may be requested.

Loans modified as TDRs are typically already on non-accrual status and in some cases, partial charge-offs may have already been taken against the outstanding loan balance. The Company classifies TDR loans as impaired loans and evaluates the need for an allowance for loan loss on a loan-by-loan basis. An allowance is based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less any selling costs, if the loan is deemed to be collateral dependent.

At September 30, 2020, the Company had $4.7 million in TDRs outstanding, of which one with a balance totaling $46,000 was on a non-accruing basis. Comparatively, the Company had $3.9 million of outstanding TDRs, of which one with a balance of $26,000 was non-accruing, at December 31, 2019.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the following table presents a breakdown of the types of concessions made by loan class:

During the twelve months ended September 30, 2020, there was one TDR for which there was a payment default. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2019, there were two TDRs for which there was a payment default.

A default on a TDR is defined as being past due 90 days or being out of compliance with the modification agreement. As previously mentioned, the Company considers TDRs to be impaired loans and has $119,000 in the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2020, as a direct result of these TDRs. At September 30, 2019, there was $119,000 in the allowance for loan losses related to TDRs.

The following table presents the status of the types of loans modified as TDRs within the previous twelve months as of September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Effective March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which was signed into law on March 27, 2020, allows the Company to suspend the TDR classifications described above in an effort to provide relief to borrowers impacted by COVID-19. The Company has elected to adopt this suspension until December 31, 2020 or sixty days after the national emergency terminates, per the CARES Act. Modifications of loans for COVID-19 reasons, and that were current as of December 31, 2019, are not considered TDRs and are tracked internally as “COVID-19 Modifications”.

The Company initially provided up to a three-month deferral period or conversion to interest only repayment for up to three months. Additional extensions have been considered. Loans are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and the Company will work with borrowers that express an interest in the assistance program. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had 16 current outstanding modified loans with a recorded investment of $12.8 million. Of the loans currently under accommodation, 5 had entered payment deferral a second

time. Additionally, 178 previously modified loans with outstanding balances totaling $43.6 million have come out of deferment. Of the loans removed from deferment, 13 with balances totaling $3.4 million were paid-off, 161 loans totaling $39.9 million were out of accommodation and current at September 30, 2020 and 4 loans totaling $346,000 were removed due to noncompliance.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s modifications of loans for COVID-19 related reasons are disclosed in the table below:

Operating leases in which we are the lessee are recorded as operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities, included in premises and equipment and other liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. We do not currently have any significant finance leases in which we are the lessee.

Operating lease ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents our incremental collateralized borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. ROU assets are further adjusted for the lease incentives. Operating lease expense, which is comprised of amortization of the ROU asset and the implicit interest accreted on the operating lease liability, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in the net occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Our leases relate to three office locations, two of which are branch locations, with remaining terms of one to nine years. Certain lease arrangements contain extension options which range from five to ten years at the then fair market rental rates. As these extension options are not generally considered reasonably certain of exercise and they are not included in the lease term. As of September 30, 2020, operating lease ROU assets were $1.7 million and the lease liability was $1.8 million, compared to ROU assets of $2.0 million and a lease liability of $2.1 million at September 30, 2019. Lease costs associated with all leases is $96,000 and $287,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 respectively.

The Company’s subsidiary bank 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 include commitments to extend credit, lines of credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized in the accompanying financial statements.

The Bank’s risk of loss with unfunded loans and lines of credit or standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments under such instruments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Credit card commitments are unsecured.

At September 30, 2020, outstanding financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk were approximately:

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements but clarifies and standardizes some divergent practices that have emerged since prior guidance was issued. ASC 820 creates a three-level hierarchy under which individual fair value estimates are to be ranked based on the relative reliability of the inputs used in the valuation.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which those assets or liabilities are sold and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing those assets or liabilities. Fair values determined using Level 1 inputs rely on active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. In situations where identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, fair values may be determined based on Level 2 inputs, which exist when observable data exists for similar assets and liabilities. Fair values for assets and liabilities for which identical or similar assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets are based on Level 3 inputs, which are considered to be unobservable.

Among the Company’s assets and liabilities, investment securities available for sale are reported at their fair values on a recurring basis. Certain other assets are adjusted to their fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including other real estate owned, impaired loans, loans held for sale, which are carried at the lower of cost or market value; loan servicing rights, where fair value is determined using similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions; and goodwill, which is periodically tested for impairment. Deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term obligations are not reported at fair value.

Prices for U.S. Treasury securities are readily available in the active markets in which those securities are traded, and the resulting fair values are shown in the “Level 1 input” column. Prices for government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and for state, county and municipal securities are obtained for similar securities, and the resulting fair values are shown in the “Level 2 input” column. Prices for all other non-marketable investments are determined based on various assumptions that are not observable. The fair values for these investment securities are shown in the “Level 3 input” column. Non-marketable investment securities, which are carried at their purchase price, include those that may only be redeemed by the issuer. The changes in securities between Level 1 and Level 2 were related to the purchase and sale of several securities and not the transfer of securities.

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment by using one of several methods including collateral value, fair value of similar debt or discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the present value of the expected repayments or fair value of collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. The Company typically bases the fair value of the collateral on appraised values, which the Company considers Level 3 valuations.

Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is recorded initially at the estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure. The initial recorded value may be subsequently reduced by additional allowances, which are charged to earnings if the estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs declines below the initial recorded value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. The Company typically bases the fair value of the collateral on appraised values, which the Company considers Level 3 valuations.

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate, based on secondary market prices. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. These loans are recorded in Level 2.

The following table provides fair value information for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value less cost to sell at the end of the period. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

At September 30, 2020, impaired loans were being evaluated with discounted expected cash flows or discounted appraisals were being used on collateral dependent loans.

ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis.

The fair value estimates presented at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are intended to represent the price an asset could be sold at or the price at which a liability could be settled. However, given there is no active market or observable market transactions for many of the Company’s financial instruments, the Company has made estimates of many of these fair values which are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimated values. The estimated fair values disclosed in the following table do not represent market values of all assets and liabilities of the Company and should not be interpreted to represent the underlying value of the Company. The valuations at September 30, 2020 are observed under the exit price notion as a result of adoption of ASU 2016-01. The following table reflects a comparison of carrying amounts and the estimated fair value of the financial instruments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

At September 30, 2020 the subsidiary bank had outstanding standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit. These off-balance sheet financial instruments are generally exercisable at the market rate prevailing at the date the underlying transaction will be completed; therefore, the fair value is the fee the Bank is expected to receive. This amount is deemed immaterial by management. See Note 10.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is expected to result in earlier recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. During 2019, the effective date was extended to fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2022 for public entities that qualify as smaller reporting companies, per the Securities and Exchange Commission definition, which currently includes the Company. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We have entered into a contract to outsource our current model with a CECL-ready vendor. We are currently

evaluating the various methods of determining credit losses within the software. The impact of the adoption is dependent on loan portfolio composition and credit quality at adoption date, as well as economic conditions and forecasts at that time.

From time to time, the FASB issues exposure drafts of proposed statements of financial accounting standards. Such exposure drafts are subject to comment from the public, to revisions by the FASB and to final issuance by the FASB as statements of financial accounting standards. Management considers the effect of the proposed statements on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and monitors the status of changes to and proposed effective dates of exposure drafts.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements consisting of estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company that are subject to various factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates. These factors include, but are not limited to: the impact of the novel Coronavirus disease, or COVID-19, on our borrowers’ ability to meet their financial obligations to us; increases in our past due loans and provisions for loan losses that may result from COVID-19; declines in general economic conditions, including increased stress in the financial markets due to COVID-19; changes in interest rates, deposit flows, loan demand, real estate values, and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting the Company’s operations, pricing, products and services. Any use of “we” or “our” in the following discussion refers to the Company on a consolidated basis.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s total assets increased $135.1 million, from $656.8 million to $791.9 million.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $84.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease is directly related to the increased investments made in the securities portfolio in an effort to sustain the yield on earning assets after rates dropped significantly during the first quarter.

Investment securities consist of securities available for sale and securities held to maturity. Investment securities increased $102.9 million to $204.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, due to investments of cash into longer-term, higher yielding assets. At September 30, 2020, the Company had net unrealized gains on securities available for sale of $4.4 million, compared to net unrealized gains of $419,000 as December 31, 2019. The significant improvement is directly related to the decline of the bond yields at September 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019, as the market reacted to the COVID-19 outbreak worldwide.

An additional investment was made into an equity security during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $901,000. The value of the equity security increased $434,000 by the end of the third quarter, resulting in a fair value of $1.3 million for the security at September 30, 2020.

Loans held for investment increased from $358.0 million to $467.7 million, an increase of $109.7 million for the nine-month period. The Company experienced net growth in nearly all sectors with the largest increase (not including PPP loans) occurring in the other real estate construction segment related to funding on two large hotel loans. During the second and third quarter of 2020, the Company funded 1,202 SBA PPP loans for a total of $81.0 million. These loans are unsecured commercial loans, but are 100% guaranteed by the SBA. Loans held for sale increased 265.1%, or $4.9 million, as many of the loans produced near the September 30, 2020 quarter-end date were not sold on the secondary market until early October. The increase in re-finance activity due to a favorable interest rate environment for borrowers has increased production for the mortgage division of the Company.

The allowance for loan losses was $4.5 million at September 30, 2020, which represented 0.96% of the total loans held for investment compared to $2.0 million or 0.55% of the total loans held for investment at December 31, 2019. Additional discussion regarding the increase in the allowance is included in the Asset Quality section below.

Other changes in our consolidated assets are primarily related to prepaid assets, other assets and loan servicing assets. Prepaid assets have increased $286,000 from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020, as annual property and business insurance payments are due during the first quarter of the year. Other assets increased $1.7 million during the first nine months of 2020, primarily due an investment in a community development project. Loan servicing assets increased by $1.4 million during the nine-month period as a result of the aforementioned production growth within the Company’s mortgage division.

Customer deposits, our primary funding source, experienced a $127.8 million increase during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, increasing from $585.9 million to $713.7 million, a 21.8% increase. A portion of this increase is related to funding of SBA PPP loans, some of the proceeds of which were deposited by our customers into their deposit accounts held at the Company’s subsidiary bank. Demand noninterest-bearing checking accounts increased $50.5 million and savings deposits increased $14.1 million. Interest checking and money market accounts increased by $116.0 million, of which $41.0 million is related to an account that moved from time deposits greater than $250,000 due to maturity. Other time deposits decreased $52.7 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.

Total short-term borrowings increased $8,900 for the period. At September 30, 2020, the Company has $11.0 million in long-term debt outstanding, which consisted primarily of its fixed rate junior subordinated debt securities issued on September 30, 2019. The

subordinated debt securities have a final maturity date of September 30, 2029, though may be redeemed by the Company on or after September 30, 2024. The junior subordinated debt pays interest quarterly at an annual fixed rate of 5.25%. The Company has a $3 million line of credit of which $1 million was in use at September 30, 2020.

Other liabilities increased from $11.4 million at December 31, 2019 to $12.3 million at September 30, 2020, an increase of $888,000, primarily due to the accrual for payment of income taxes.

At September 30, 2020, total shareholders’ equity was $54.3 million, an increase of $5.4 million from December 31, 2019. Net income for the nine-month period was $3.5 million. Unrealized gains/losses on investment securities, net of tax, improved by $3.1 million. The Company repurchased 134,690 shares of common stock at a total cost of $736,000 during the first nine months of 2020. The Company paid $424,000 in dividends attributed to noncontrolling interest during the first nine months of 2020. See Note 3 (Noncontrolling Interest) to the Company’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of the noncontrolling interest.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Uwharrie Capital Corp reported net income of $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $968,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $614,000. Net income available to common shareholders was $1.4 million or $0.20 per common share, at September 30, 2020, compared to $826,000 or $0.11 per common share, at September 30, 2019. Net income available to common shareholders is net income less dividends on the aforementioned noncontrolling interest.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $5.7 million, compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $630,000. During the third quarter of 2020, the average yield on our interest-earning assets decreased sixty-three basis points to 3.42%, and the average rate we paid for our interest-bearing liabilities decreased fifty-three basis points to 0.36%. The aforementioned changes resulted in a lower interest rate spread of 3.06% as of September 30, 2020, compared to 3.16% as of September 30, 2019. Our net interest margin was 3.18% and 3.41% for the comparable periods in 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The following table presents average balance sheet and a net interest income analysis for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

(dollars in thousands)

The provision for loan losses was $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a recovery of $80,000 for the same period in 2019. There were net loan recoveries of $2,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared with net loan charge-offs of $28,000 during the same period of 2019. Refer to the Asset Quality section below for further information.

The Company generates most of its revenue from net interest income; however, diversification of our revenue sources is important as well. Total noninterest income increased by $3.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The primary factor contributing to the overall increase was an increase of $2.8 million in income from mortgage loan sales. This increase is due to stronger margins and increased production from refinance transactions as long-term rates remained low during the third quarter of 2020.

In addition, an unrealized gain on an equity investment in preferred stock of another bank produced gains of $101,000, which is reported in noninterest income.

Interchange fees, or “swipe” fees, are charges that merchants pay to us and other card-issuing banks for processing electronic payment transactions. Interchange and card transaction fees consist of income from check card usage, point-of-sale income from PIN-based debit card transactions, ATM service fees, and credit card usage. A comparison of gross interchange and card transaction fees and interchange and card transaction fees net of associated network costs for the reported periods is presented in the table below:

Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased by $1.4 million from September 30, 2019, to $8.0 million. Salaries and benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased $970,000 to account for wage and benefit cost increases as well as increased commissions for increased production in the mortgage division. As a result of production growth in the mortgage division, loan costs increased by $48,000 to $155,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The Company had income tax expense of $618,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 at an effective tax rate of 28.1% compared to income tax expense of $195,000 with an effective tax rate of 16.8% in the comparable 2019 period. Income taxes computed at the statutory rate are affected primarily by the eligible amount of interest earned on state and municipal securities, tax-free municipal loans and income earned on bank owned life insurance. In 2020, the effective tax rate increased due to an additional tax accrual related to a supplemental executive retirement plan, or SERP, distribution.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Uwharrie Capital Corp reported net income of $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $903,000. Net income available to common shareholders was $3.1 million, or $0.43 per common share, at September 30, 2020, compared to $2.2 million or $0.30 per common share, at September 30, 2019. Net income available to common shareholders is net income less dividends on the aforementioned noncontrolling interest.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $15.9 million and 15.3 million, respectively. During the first three quarters of 2020, the average yield on our interest-earning assets decreased forty-eight basis points to 3.54%, and the average rate we paid for our interest-bearing liabilities decreased twenty-seven basis points to 0.52%. The aforementioned changes resulted in a lower interest rate spread of 3.03% as of September 30, 2020, compared to 3.23% as of September 30, 2019. Net interest margin was 3.18% and 3.44% for the comparable periods in 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The provision for loan losses was $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a recovery of $508,000 for the same period in 2019. There were net loan recoveries of $48,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared with net loan recoveries of $291,000 during the same period of 2019. Refer to the Asset Quality section below for further information.

loan sales. This increase is due to stronger margins and increased production from refinance transactions as long-term rates fell during the first quarter and remained historically low through the third quarter of 2020.

In addition, an unrealized gain on an equity investment in preferred stock of another bank produced gains of $434,000, which is reported in noninterest income.

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased by $2.7 million from September 30, 2019, to $21.7 million. Salaries and benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased $2.0 million to account for wage and benefit cost increase as well as increased commissions for increased production in the mortgage division. As a result of production growth in the mortgage division, loan costs increased by $156,000 to $409,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, costs associated with software and technology updates increased by $223,000 from September 30, 2019 to September 30, 2020.

The Company had income tax expense of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 at an effective tax rate of 24.4% compared to income tax expense of $655,000 with an effective tax rate of 20.1% in the comparable 2019 period. Income taxes computed at the statutory rate are affected primarily by the eligible amount of interest earned on state and municipal securities, tax-free municipal loans and income earned on bank owned life insurance. In 2020, the effective tax rate increased due to an additional tax accrual related to a SERP distribution.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operations and recoveries of amounts previously charged off and is reduced by recovery of provisions and loans charged off. Management continuously evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance, management considers the following: the growth, composition and industry diversification of the portfolio; historical loan loss experience; current delinquency levels; adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay; estimated value of any underlying collateral; prevailing economic conditions; and other relevant factors. The Company’s credit administration

function, through a review process, periodically validates the accuracy of the initial risk grade assessment. In addition, as a given loan’s credit quality improves or deteriorates, the credit administration department has the responsibility to change the borrower’s risk grade accordingly. For loans determined to be impaired, the allowance is based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less the selling costs. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans, which may be susceptible to significant change. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require additions for estimated losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

Management uses a risk-grading program designed to evaluate the credit risk in the loan portfolio. In this program, risk grades are initially assigned by loan officers then reviewed and monitored by credit administration. This process includes the maintenance of an internally classified loan list that is designed to help management assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In establishing the appropriate classification for specific assets, management considers, among other factors, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the borrower’s ability to repay, the borrower’s payment history, and the current delinquent status. Because of this process, certain loans are deemed to be impaired and evaluated as an impaired loan.

During the second quarter of 2020, management made adjustments to the allowance for loan losses methodology. The qualitative factors were expanded to include additional reserves for niche lending portfolios of hotel, retained interest in the unguaranteed portion of U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Loans (not including PPP loans), and SBA PPP loans. The risk in these portfolios is measurable in addition to the standard probable loss calculation performed on all non-impaired loans. With the impact of COVID-19 on all industries, the hotel and SBA (non-PPP) loan categories on the Company’s balance sheet have been identified as having elevated credit risk. The SBA (non-PPP) reflects the unguaranteed portion of SBA guaranteed loans originated by the Company. SBA PPP loans, while 100% guaranteed by SBA, could result in some loss if fraud occurs or there are reporting issues or duplicate funding of loans. These additional reserves allocated $172,000 to the reserve that was not present prior to June 30, 2020. In addition, management eliminated its qualitative factor based on a 21-day weighted average of the VIX index, a real-time index that measures the expectation of the market’s 30-day forward-looking volatility, and replaced it with a multi-factor linear regression encompassing the following economic data: Case Shiller for North Carolina (NC) home price index, NC unemployment rate, 2-year 10-year US Treasury spread, customer sentiment, and a VIX quarterly average factor. This qualitative factor update increased provisions by approximately $379,000 from March 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020.

During the third quarter, due to the lagging nature of the data (primarily unemployment data from U.S. Government data) used in the multi-factor linear regression, management adopted an additional qualitative factor to incorporate more current unemployment data that was developed from unofficial sources. The impact to the third quarter resulted in a $675,000 additional reserve for loan losses. The factor further represents the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and extended economic impacts.

The portion of the Company’s allowance for loan loss model related to general reserves captures the mean loss of individual loans within the loan portfolio and adds additional loss based on economic uncertainty and specific indicators of potential issues in the market. Specifically, the Company calculates probable losses on loans by computing a probability of loss and multiplying that by a loss given default derived from historical experience. An additional calculation based on economic uncertainty is added to the probable losses, thus deriving the estimated loss scenario by FDIC call report codes. Together, these expected components, as well as a reserve for qualitative factors based on management’s discretion of economic conditions, form the basis of the allowance model. The loans that are impaired and included in the specific reserve are excluded from these calculations.

The Company assesses the probability of losses inherent in the loan portfolio using probability of default data derived from the Company’s internal historical data, representing a one-year loss horizon for each obligor. Credit scores are used within the model to determine the probability of default. The Company updates the credit scores for individuals that either have a loan, or are financially responsible for the loan, semi-annually, during the first and third quarters. During the first nine months of 2020, the average effective credit score of the portfolio, excluding loans in default, increased slightly from 768 to 772. The probability of default associated with each credit score is a major driver in the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s best estimate of an appropriate amount to provide for probable credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio in the normal course of business. While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary and results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ from the assumptions used in making the determinations. Furthermore, while management believes it has established the allowance for loan losses in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, there can be no assurance that banking regulators, in reviewing the Company’s portfolio, will not require an adjustment to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that increases will not be necessary, should the quality of any loans deteriorate because of the factors discussed herein. Unexpected global events, such as the unprecedented economic disruption due to

COVID-19, are the type of future events that often cause material adjustments to the allowance to be necessary. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

At September 30, 2020, the levels of our impaired loans, which includes all loans in non-accrual status, TDRs, and other loans deemed by management to be impaired, were $8.5 million, compared to $6.8 million at December 31, 2019, a net increase of $1.7 million. The increase is related to one large relationship moving into non-accrual status during the first quarter of 2020 and one large relationship being modified as a TDR in the second quarter of 2020. Total non-accrual loans, which are a component of impaired loans, increased from $2.9 million at December 31, 2019 to $3.9 million at September 30, 2020. During the first nine months of 2020, five additional loans totaling $2.0 million were added to impaired loans; however, three loans totaling $141,000 were closed. That was offset by net pay downs of $169,000.

The allowance, expressed as a percentage of gross loans held for investment, increased forty-one basis points from 0.55% at December 31, 2019 to 0.96% at September 30, 2020. The collectively evaluated reserve allowance as a percentage of collectively evaluated loans was 0.52% at December 31, 2019 and 0.95% at September 30, 2020. The increase is attributable to the model adjustments discussed above allowing additional economic factors to increase qualitative factors related to the worldwide COVID-19 outbreak. This outbreak, which resulted in many businesses closing and staff layoffs, led management to increase the allowance allocated based on economic outlook in the model to the largest allowable based on internal policy. The individually evaluated allowance as a percentage of individually evaluated loans decreased from 2.06% to 1.46% for the same periods, mainly due to the two large relationships totaling $1.7 million that were deemed impaired during the first nine months of 2020, though little reserve is recognized based on the net realizable value.

The ratio of nonperforming loans, which consists of non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days and still accruing, to total loans increased from 0.82% at December 31, 2019, to 0.83% at September 30, 2020, related to the large impaired relationship added in the first quarter, for which the Company believes it is sufficiently collateralized.

As of September 30, 2020, management believed the level of the allowance for loan losses was appropriate in light of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio.

Other real estate owned decreased $135,000 during the first nine months of 2020. The Company sold three pieces of foreclosed property totaling $130,000, realizing a gain of $53,000. The Company had $21,000 in write-downs for the period ended September 30, 2020. There were no loans foreclosed on during the first nine months of 2020.

Troubled debt restructured loans at September 30, 2020 totaled $4.7 million compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2019 and are included in impaired loans. The increase is related to one relationship of $650,000 that was added during the second quarter of 2020. At September 30, 2020, there was one troubled debt restructured loan in non-accrual status, which had a balance of $46,000.

As discussed in Note 8 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the CARES Act allows for loan modifications related to COVID-19 impacts to be excluded from TDR status. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had 16 current outstanding loan portfolio modifications of COVID-19 impacted loans for $12.8 million. Of the loans currently under accommodation, 5 had entered payment deferral a second time. Additionally, 178 previously modified loans with outstanding balances totaling $43.6 million have come out of deferment. Of the loans removed from deferment, 13 with balances totaling $3.4 million were paid-off, 161 loans totaling $39.9 million were out of accommodation and current at September 30, 2020 and 4 loans totaling $346,000 were removed due to noncompliance.

The following table shows the comparison of nonperforming assets at September 30, 2020 to December 31, 2019:

The objective of the Company’s liquidity management policy is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all financial commitments and to capitalize on any opportunities for expansion. Liquidity management addresses the ability to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.

The Company’s primary sources of internally generated funds are principal and interest payments on loans, cash flows generated from operations and cash flow generated by investments. Growth in deposits is typically the primary source of funds for loan growth. The Company and its subsidiary bank have multiple funding sources, in addition to deposits, that can be used to increase liquidity and provide additional financial flexibility. These sources are the subsidiary bank’s established federal funds lines with correspondent banks aggregating $28 million at September 30, 2020, with available credit of $28 million; established borrowing relationships with the Federal Home Loan Bank, with available credit of $52.3 million; access to borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window, with available credit of $24.8 million and the issuance of commercial paper. The Company also secured a $3.0 million line of credit with TIB The Independent BankersBank, N.A., during the first quarter of 2020. The line is secured with 100% of the outstanding common shares of the Company’s subsidiary bank. As of September 30, 2020, we had $2.0 million that had not been extended and remained available for use on the line of credit. The Company has also previously secured long-term debt from other sources. Total outstanding debt from these sources included $10.0 million of junior subordinated debt at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Banks and bank holding companies, as regulated institutions, must meet required levels of capital. The Federal Reserve, the primary federal regulator of the Company and its subsidiary bank, has adopted minimum capital regulations or guidelines that categorize components and the level of risk associated with various types of assets.

The Company continues to maintain capital ratios that support its asset growth. The federal bank regulatory agencies have implemented regulatory capital rules known as “Basel III.” The Basel III rules require a common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets minimum ratio of 4.50%, a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.00%, a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.00%, and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.00%. There is also a capital conservation buffer that requires banks to hold common equity Tier 1 capital in excess of minimum risk-based capital ratios by at least 2.5% to avoid limits on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers and similar employees.

The Basel III rules began to phase in for the Company and its subsidiary bank on January 1, 2015, with full compliance of all the rules’ requirements effective on January 1, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s subsidiary bank continued to exceed minimum capital standards and remained well-capitalized under the applicable rules.

The Company’s subsidiary bank has a net total of $10.6 million in outstanding Fixed Rate Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. The preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital at the Bank and pays dividends at an annual rate of 5.30%. The net total of $10.6 million is presented as noncontrolling interest at the Company level and qualifies as Tier 1 capital at the Company. At September 30, 2020, the Company had $10.0 million in subordinated debt outstanding, which qualifies as Tier 2 capital at the Company level. The Company has made all interest and dividend payments in a timely manner.

Off-balance sheet arrangements include transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements to which an unconsolidated entity of the Company is a party and pursuant to which the Company has obligations, including an obligation to provide guarantees on behalf of an unconsolidated entity, or retains an interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity. We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements of this kind.

Derivative financial instruments include futures contracts, forward contracts, interest rate swaps, options contracts, and other financial instruments with similar characteristics. We have not engaged in significant derivative activities through September 30, 2020 and have no current plans to do so.

The timing and amount of our contractual obligations has not changed materially since our 2019 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is filed as Exhibit 13 to our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

At the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act (“Exchange Act”) Rule 13a-15.

Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that in their opinion, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective (1) to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management of the Company has evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the third quarter of 2020. In connection with such evaluation, the Company has determined that there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company reviews its disclosure controls and procedures, which may include its internal control over financial reporting, on an ongoing basis, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and ensuring that the Company’s systems evolve with its business.

Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries, nor any of their properties are subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company’s subsidiary bank is engaged in ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business.

The following table sets forth information with respect to shares of common stock repurchased by the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
