NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Note 1 — Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited consolidated financial statements include Orange County Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware bank holding company (“Orange County Bancorp”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Orange Bank & Trust Company, a New York trust company (the “Bank”) and Hudson Valley Investment Advisors (“HVIA”), a Registered Investment Advisor, together referred to as the “Company.” Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company provides commercial and consumer banking services to individuals, small businesses and local municipal governments as well as trust and investment services through the Bank and HVIA. The Company is headquartered in Middletown, New York, with eight locations in Orange County, New York, seven in Westchester County, New York, two in Rockland County, New York, and one in Bronx County, New York. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are commercial real estate, commercial and residential mortgage loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer. However, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the areas in which they operate.

Assets held by the Company in an agency or fiduciary capacity for its customers are excluded from the consolidated financial statements since they do not constitute assets of the Company. Assets held by the Company in an agency or fiduciary capacity for its customers amounted to $ 1,157,837 and $ 1,325,894 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2021 for Orange County Bancorp, Inc. contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2022. In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2022, the results of operations, comprehensive income/(loss), changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and cash flow statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or for any future period. Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements to conform with prior period presentations.

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements : In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The ASU made certain targeted amendments specific to troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors and vintage disclosure related to gross write-offs. Upon adoption, the Corporation will be required to apply the loan and refinancing and restructuring guidance to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan, rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs. The ASU also requires companies to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases within scope of Subtopic 326-20. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, otherwise effective date is the same as ASU 2016-13.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses Topic 326: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The objective of the ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date by replacing the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to form credit loss estimates. In November 2019, the FASB adopted changes to delay the effective date of ASU 2016-13 to January 2023 for certain entities, including certain Securities and Exchange Commission filers, public business entities, and private companies. As a result, the Company is eligible for the delay and will adopt the ASU effective January 1, 2023. The Company has been working with a third-party vendor in the development of certain methodologies and modeling techniques that will be implemented to accommodate this adoption. The modeling contemplates projected loss drivers derived from a cross-section of as many 30 peer institutions with similar geographic, loan concentration, and charge-off history to that of the Company. Correlation studies were conducted to determine the predictive strength of certain macroeconomic factors with those observed loss histories. The Company will be using a discounted cash flow analysis, in conjunction with macroeconomic forecasts to establish probability of default and loss given default parameters; which will ultimately support the derivation of projected losses based on the amortized cost of the segmented loan portfolio. At this time, the Company is modeling projected losses in parallel with the current incurred loss methodology. Further, the Company is currently working with a third-party analytics consulting firm for the purposes of validating the underlying modeling assumptions, loss drivers, data mapping, and governance documentation.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s securities portfolio consisted of 293 securities, 260 of which were in an unrealized loss position. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s securities portfolio consisted of 252 securities, 78 of which were in an unrealized loss position. Unrealized losses are primarily related to the Company’s mortgage backed securities, U.S. government agency securities, and investments in obligations of states and political subdivisions as discussed below.

At September 30, 2022, mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government sponsored entities and agencies. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other than temporarily impaired at September 30, 2022.

The Company’s unrealized losses on U.S. government agency securities relate primarily to its investment in Small Business Administration (“SBA”) issued securities. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other than temporarily impaired at September 30, 2022.

At September 30, 2022, the Company’s unrealized loss on obligations of state and political subdivisions was related to the decline in fair value. The fair value decline is driven by interest rate impact and not credit quality. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. Accordingly, the Company does not consider these securities to be other than temporarily impaired at September 30, 2022.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.

There were no loans whose terms were modified resulting in TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes loans with an outstanding balance greater than $350 thousand and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well- defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans.

Based on the analysis performed as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:


			Special

Note 4 — Fair Value

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 : Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 : Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2), using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded, values debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).

Impaired Loans and Other Real Estate Owned: The fair value of collateral dependent loans that are individually evaluated for impairment is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach and resulted in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted in accordance with the allowance policy.

Appraisals are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by a third-party appraisal management company that the Company has engaged in accordance with internal vendor management policies and approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. Once received, the appraisal review function is conducted by the appraisal management company and consists of a review of the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. Through this review, the appraisal management company evaluates the validity of the appraised value and the strength of the conclusions; which are subsequently confirmed by a member of the Credit Department. Discounts to the appraised value are then applied to recognize the carrying costs incurred until disposition, realtor fees, deterioration in the quality of the asset, and the age of the appraisal. The net effect of these adjustments were included in the charge-off to the allowance upon acquisition of the foreclosed property and/or upon partial charge-off of the impaired loan. The most recent analysis of property appraisals including the appropriate discount rates are incorporated into the allowance methodology for the respective loan portfolio segments.

Note 10 — Regulatory Capital Matters

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by regulators. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks, (Basel III rules), became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019. Under the Basel III rules, the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer is 2.5 %. The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion and capital restoration plans are required. Capital levels at September 30, 2022 and at December 31, 2021 exceeded the regulatory minimum levels to be considered well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations.

These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

●

inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;

●

conditions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the severity and duration of any associated economic slowdown either nationally or in our market areas and the effectiveness of vaccination programs, that are worse than expected;

●

our ability to retain our existing customers;

●

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

●

changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a bank holding company headquartered in Middletown, New York and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act. Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Orange Bank & Trust Company and Hudson Valley Investment Advisors, Inc., we offer full-service commercial and consumer banking products and services and trust and wealth management services to small businesses, middle-market enterprises, local municipal governments and affluent individuals in the Lower Hudson Valley region, the New York metropolitan area and nearby markets in Connecticut and New Jersey. By combining the high-touch service and relationship-based focus of a community bank with the extensive suite of financial products and services offered by our larger competitors, we believe we can capitalize on the substantial growth opportunities available in our market areas. We also offer a variety of deposit accounts to businesses and consumers, including checking accounts and a full line of municipal banking accounts through our business banking platform. These activities, together with our 15 offices and one loan production office, generate a stable source of low- cost core deposits and a diverse loan portfolio with attractive risk-adjusted yields. We also offer private banking services through Orange Bank & Trust Private Banking, a division of Orange Bank & Trust Company, and provide trust and wealth management services through Orange Bank & Trust Company’s trust services department and HVIA, which combined had $1.1 billion in assets under management at September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, our assets, loans, deposits and stockholders’ equity totaled $2.4 billion, $1.6 billion, $2.2 billion and $136.2 million, respectively.

Key Factors Affecting Our Business

Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the most significant contributor to our net income and is the difference between the interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred in connection with interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is primarily a function of the average balances and yields of these interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. These factors are influenced by internal considerations such as product mix and risk appetite as well as external influences such as economic conditions, competition for loans and deposits and market interest rates.

The cost of our deposits and short-term borrowings is primarily based on short-term interest rates, which are largely driven by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s (the “FRB”) actions and market competition. The yields generated by our loans and securities are typically affected by short-term and long-term interest rates, which are driven by market competition and market rates often impacted by the FRB’s actions. The level of net interest income is influenced by movements in such interest rates and the pace at which such movements occur.

We anticipate that interest rates will continue to increase over the next several quarters. Based on our asset sensitivity, a steepened yield curve and higher interest rates generally could have a beneficial impact on our net interest income. Conversely, a flat yield curve at lower rates would be expected to have an adverse impact on our net interest income.

Noninterest Income . Noninterest income is also a contributor to our net income. Noninterest income consists primarily of our investment advisory income, trust income generated by HVIA and our trust department, as well as income generated by our BOLI investment earnings. In addition, noninterest income is also impacted by net gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities, service charges on deposit accounts, and other fee income consisting primarily of debit card fee income, checkbook fees and rebates and safe deposit box rental income.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense includes salaries, employee benefits, occupancy, furniture and equipment expense, professional fees, directors’ fees and expenses, computer software expense, Federal deposit insurance assessment, advertising expenses, advisor expenses related to trust income and other expenses. In evaluating our level of noninterest expense, we closely monitor our efficiency ratio. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense to net interest income plus noninterest income. We continue to seek to identify ways to streamline our business and operate more efficiently.

Credit Quality. We have well established loan policies and underwriting practices that have resulted in low levels of charge-offs and nonperforming assets in recent periods. We strive to originate quality loans that will maintain the credit quality of our loan portfolio. However, credit trends in the markets in which we operate are largely impacted by economic conditions beyond our control and can adversely impact our financial condition.

Competition. The industry and businesses in which we operate are highly competitive. We may see increased competition in different areas including interest rates, underwriting standards and product offerings and structure. While we seek to maintain an appropriate return on our investments, we anticipate that we will experience continued pressure on our net interest margins as we operate in this competitive environment.

Economic Conditions. Our business and financial performance are affected by economic conditions generally in the United States and more directly in the market of the Lower Hudson Valley region, the New York metropolitan area and nearby markets in Connecticut and New Jersey where we primarily operate. The significant economic factors that are most relevant to our business and our financial performance include, but are not limited to, real estate values, interest rates and unemployment rates.

Regulatory Trends. We operate in a highly regulated environment and nearly all of our operations are subject to extensive regulation and supervision. Bank or securities regulators, Congress, the State of New York, FRB and the New York State Department of Financial Services (the “NYSDFS”) may revise the laws and regulations applicable to us, may impose new laws and regulations, increase the level of scrutiny of our business in the supervisory process, and pursue additional enforcement actions against financial institutions. Future legislative and regulatory changes such as these may increase our costs and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The legislative and regulatory trends that will affect us in the future are impossible to predict with any certainty.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and procedures and are particularly susceptible to significant change. Critical accounting policies are defined as those involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income under different assumptions or conditions. These critical estimates, policies and their application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the board of directors. Management believes that the most critical accounting estimates, which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments, are as follows:

Allowance for Loan Losses. Management believes that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments, which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could materially impact Orange County Bancorp’s results of operations.

The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance, including an assessment of known and inherent risks in the portfolio, giving consideration to the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, level of delinquencies, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectability may not be assured, the existence and estimated fair value of any underlying collateral and guarantees securing the loans, and current economic and market conditions. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate, which is subject to significant judgment and change. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to record additional provisions for loan losses based upon information available to them at the time of their examination. Furthermore, the majority of the Bank’s loans are secured by real estate in the State of New York. Accordingly, the collectability of a substantial portion of the carrying value of the Bank’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in local market conditions and may experience adverse economic conditions. Future adjustments to the provision for loan losses and allowance for loan losses may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Bank’s control.

Table of Contents

Assets. Our total assets were $2.4 billion at September 30, 2022, an increase of $225.8 million, or 10.5%, from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in net loans of $251.0 million, or 19.7%. The increase in assets also included an increase in investment securities available-for-sale of $82.5 million, or 17.7%.

Cash and due from banks. Cash and due from banks decreased $125.9 million, or 41.1%, to $180.2 million at September 30, 2022, from $306.2 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease was due mainly to the deployment of cash into loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Loans. The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio by type of loan at the dates indicated.

Allowance for loan losses		22,888				17,661
Total loans, net	$	1,524,816			$	1,273,767

Net loans increased $251.0 million, or 19.7%, to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2022 from $1.3 billion at December 31, 2021 primarily due to increases in commercial real estate and commercial real estate construction loan categories as well as commercial and industrial loans during the first nine months of 2022. Commercial real estate loans increased $207.1 million, or 24.3%, to $1.1 billion at September 30, 2022 from $852.7 million at December 31, 2021. Commercial real estate construction loans experienced an increase of $60.7 million, or 84.0%, to $132.9 million at September 30, 2022 from $72.3 million at December 31, 2021. The commercial real estate related growth was primarily the result of increased loan originations to new and existing customers during the first nine of 2022 as well as our continued strategic focus on geographic expansion in our market area. Commercial and industrial loans grew $19.0 million, or 8.3%, reaching $249.4 million at September 30, 2022 from $230.4 million at December 31, 2021. We anticipate that loan growth is expected to continue as a result of strategic execution and customer acquisition stemming from industry consolidation.

Non-performing Assets

Management determines that a loan is impaired or non-performing when it is probable at least a portion of the loan will not be collected in accordance with the original terms due to a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or the value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When a loan is determined to be impaired, the measurement of the loan in the allowance for loan losses is based on present value of expected future cash flows, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. Non-accrual loans are loans for which collectability is questionable and, therefore, interest on such loans will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis. All loans that become 90 days or more delinquent are placed on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received on a cash basis or cost recovery method.

When we acquire real estate as a result of foreclosure, the real estate is classified as real estate owned. The real estate owned is recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Soon after acquisition, we order a new appraisal to determine the current market value of the property. Any excess of the recorded value of the loan satisfied over the market value of the property is charged against the allowance for loan losses, or, if the existing allowance is inadequate, charged to expense of the current period. After acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are capitalized to the extent of estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. A loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring if, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, we grant a

Table of Contents

concession to the borrower that we would not otherwise consider. This usually includes a modification of loan terms, such as a reduction of the interest rate to below market terms, capitalizing past due interest or extending the maturity date and possibly a partial forgiveness of the principal amount due. Interest income on restructured loans is accrued after the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay under the restructured terms through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally six consecutive months.

The CARES Act, in addition to providing financial assistance to both businesses and consumers, created a forbearance program for federally-backed mortgage loans, protected borrowers from negative credit reporting due to loan accommodations related to the national emergency, and provided financial institutions the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under U.S. GAAP related to troubled debt restructurings for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. The Federal banking regulatory agencies have likewise issued guidance encouraging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are, or may be, unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. That guidance, with concurrence of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and provisions of the CARES Act allowed modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were generally current with their payments prior to any relief, to not be treated as troubled debt restructurings. Modifications may include payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment term, or other delays in payment. We have worked with our customers affected by COVID-19 and accommodated a significant amount of loan modifications across the Bank’s loan portfolios. The CARES Act expired on January 1, 2022. At September 30, 2022, the Bank had no outstanding loan modifications for customers affected by COVID-19.

The following table sets forth information regarding our non-performing assets. Non-performing loans aggregated approximately $10.2 million at September 30, 2022 as compared to $6.0 million at December 31, 2021. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no PPP loans considered as non-performing.

The increase in non-performing loans at September 30, 2022 as compared to at December 31, 2021 represents the remaining effect of one impaired nationally syndicated commercial and industrial loan relationship

totaling $2.8 million which was identified and specifically reserved during second quarter 2022. We had no other real estate owned at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Non-performing assets increased $4.2 million, or 71.2%, to $10.2 million, or 0.43% of total assets, at September 30, 2022 from $6.0 million, or 0.28% of total assets, at December 31, 2021. The increase in non-performing assets at September 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 was primarily due to an increase of $4.2 million in non-performing commercial and industrial loans, driven mainly by one remaining nationally syndicated relationship.

From time to time, as part of our loss mitigation strategy, we may renegotiate loan terms based on the economic and legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties. There were no new troubled debt restructurings during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2022. Troubled debt restructurings may be considered to be non-performing and if so are placed on non-accrual, except for those that have established a sufficient performance history under the terms of the restructured loan.

At September 30, 2022, the Bank had $3.4 million of non-accruing troubled debt restructured loans which are included in non-performing loans. This represented 0.22% of total loans at September 30, 2022 and represents a slight decrease when compared with $3.6 million at December 31, 2021.

Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide that loans and other assets of lesser quality should be classified as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that we will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. We designate an asset as “special mention” if the asset has a potential weakness that warrants management’s close attention.

The following table summarizes classified assets of all portfolio types at the dates indicated:

On the basis of management’s review of our assets, we have classified $19.5 million of our assets at September 30, 2022 as substandard compared to $29.6 million at December 31, 2021, due to certain charge-offs recorded during the period. At September 30, 2022 we had $2.8 million of assets as doubtful due to recent conditions for one nationally syndicated loan relationship classified during the second quarter 2022. There were no doubtful accounts at December 31, 2021. We designated $6.3 million of our assets at September 30, 2022 as special mention compared to $4.9 million designated as special mention at December 31, 2021, as a result of migration into this category.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at levels considered adequate by management to provide for probable incurred loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet reporting dates. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio, including portfolio composition, delinquent and non-accrual loans, national and local business conditions and loss experience and an overall evaluation of the quality of the underlying collateral. The amount and adequacy of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio. Specifically, management uses specific and general components to determine the appropriate allowance level. The specific component

Table of Contents

relates to loans individually evaluated for impairment. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present value of the estimated cash flows.

Loans which are determined to be uncollectible are charged-off against the allowance. The allowance is increased through provisions charged against current earnings and by recoveries of previously charged-off loans. Management uses available information to recognize probable and reasonably estimable loan losses, but future loss provisions may be necessary based on changing economic conditions. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, during the year ended December 30, 2020, we increased certain of our qualitative loan portfolio risk factors relating to local and national economic conditions as well as industry conditions and concentrations as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent improvement in economic conditions, as well as the strong underlying performance of the loan portfolio, have prompted a reversion to normalized, pre-COVID levels for these qualitative risk factors, partially offset by continued increases in the allowance attributable to concentrated growth in commercial real estate loans. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that represents management’s best estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In addition, the FRB and the NYSDFS, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses and could require us to increase our allowance for loan losses.

This analysis process is inherently subjective, as it requires us to make estimates that are susceptible to revisions as more information becomes available. Although we believe that we have established the allowance at a level to absorb probable and estimable losses, additions may be necessary if economic or other conditions in the future differ from the current environment.

The allowance for loan losses increased by $5.2 million, or 29.6%, to $22.9 million, or 1.48% of total loans (also 1.48% of total loans, excluding PPP loans), at September 30, 2022 from $17.7 million, or 1.37% of total loans (or 1.41% of total loans, excluding PPP loans), at December 31, 2021. The increase in the allowance for loan losses was primarily due to increased provision resulting from the growth in our commercial real estate loan portfolio, our commercial real estate construction loan segment, and our commercial and industrial loans as well as the specific reserve associated with one syndicated loan relationship specifically reserved earlier in 2022.

Available for sale securities increased $82.5 million, or 17.7%, to $547.3 million at September 30, 2022 from $464.8 million at December 31, 2021, as mortgage-backed securities, issued by U.S. agencies, increased $57.9 million, municipal securities increased $671 thousand and U.S. Government agency securities increased $17.6 million. Corporate securities also experienced a $6.4 million increase. These increases remain the result of using excess funds from our deposit growth during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to increase our purchases of investment securities as described.

Table of Contents

We did not have held-to-maturity securities at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

We review the investment portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine the cause, magnitude and duration of declines in the fair value of each security. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI), we consider many factors including: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether we have the intent to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: (1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and (2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. The assessment of whether any other than temporary decline exists may involve a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time. We evaluate securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.

No impairment charges were recorded for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021.

Total	$	2,187,553	100.00	%	0.25	%	$	1,914,384	100.00	%	0.14	%

Total deposits increased $273.2 million, or 14.3%, to $2.2 billion at September 30, 2022 from $1.9 billion at December 31, 2021. We continue to experience increases in all deposit categories except certificates of deposit. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased $86.5 million, money market deposits increased $128.5 million, interest-bearing demand deposits increased $48.2 million and savings deposits increased $22.5 million during the first nine months of 2022 primarily related to our strategic focus on business account activity, coupled with increased municipal deposit growth as well as increases in our attorney trust account relationships. Our strategy remains focused on increasing business demand deposit accounts by offering our suite of cash management products. Certificates of deposit decreased $12.4 million, or 15.0%, to $70.0 million at September 30, 2022 from $82.4 million at December 31, 2021, largely due to our continued strategy to reduce higher cost certificates of deposit. At September 30, 2022, our core deposits (which includes all deposits except for certificates of deposit) totaled $2.1 billion, or 96.8% of our total deposits. We did not have any brokered deposits (excluding reciprocal deposits obtained through the Certificate Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) and Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) networks) at September 30, 2022. Our reciprocal deposits obtained through the CDARS and ICS networks totaled $13.9 million and $56.3 million, respectively, at September 30, 2022 and the CDARS and ICS networks totaled $14.5 million and $56.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2021.

Borrowings

Our borrowings consist of both short-term and long-term borrowings and provide us with one of our sources of funding. Maintaining available borrowing capacity provides us with a contingent source of liquidity.

Total borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York were zero at September 30, 2022 and at December 31, 2021. We have the capacity to borrow up to an additional $508.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York as of September 30, 2022.

Table of Contents

In September 2020, we issued $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed to floating subordinated notes (the “2020 Notes”) to certain institutional investors. The 2020 Notes are non-callable for five years, have a stated maturity of September 30, 2030, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.25% per year until September 30, 2025. From September 30, 2025 to the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to a level equal to the then current three-month SOFR plus 413 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears.

In November 2012, we issued an unsecured note payable to a selling shareholder of HVIA in connection with our acquisition of HVIA. In November 2019, we refinanced the note payable with a remaining balance of $3.0 million into an interest-only term loan. The interest is payable monthly in arrears at a fixed rate of 5.6% per year and matures with a scheduled balloon payment in November 2022.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity experienced a decrease of approximately $46.6 million, to $136.2 million, at September 30, 2022 from $182.8 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease was due mainly to a $58.9 million increase in unrealized losses on the market value of investment securities recognized within the Company’s equity as accumulated other comprehensive income(loss) (“AOCI”), net of taxes as a result of the increase in market interest rates. Offsetting the AOCI fluctuation, the Bank recognized an increase in retained earnings of approximately $11.9 million associated with earnings during the first nine months of 2022, net of dividends paid.

Average Balance Sheets and Related Yields and Rates

The following tables present average balance sheet information, interest income, interest expense and the corresponding average yields earned and rates paid for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. No tax equivalent yield adjustments have been made, as the effects would be immaterial. The average balances are daily averages and, for loans, include both performing and nonperforming balances. Interest income on loans includes the effects of discount accretion and net deferred loan origination costs accounted for as yield adjustments. Net deferred loan fees totaled $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, net deferred loan fees totaled $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. The table distinguishes between: (1) changes attributable to volume (changes in volume multiplied by the prior period’s rate); (2) changes attributable to rate (change in rate multiplied by the prior year’s volume) and (3) total increase (decrease) (the sum of the previous columns). Changes attributable to both volume and rate are allocated ratably between the volume and rate categories.

General. Net income increased $2.3 million, or 40.8%, to $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was driven by a $5.5 million increase in net interest income, partially offset by an increase of $1.6 million in noninterest expense and an increase of $1.1 million in the provision for loan losses during the current quarter as compared to the same quarter in 2021. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $15.3 million, as compared to $15.8 million for the same period in 2021. The overall slight decrease was mainly resulting from the increased provision for loan losses of $6.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 associated with certain specific reserves for two impaired syndicated loans within the commercial and industrial portfolio segment and an increase of $5.2 million in noninterest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. These increases were mostly offset by an increase of $11.0 million in net interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $6.0 million, or 35.5%, to $22.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $16.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, which increased by $306.1 million, or 15.4%, to $2.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $2.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, the average yield of interest-earning assets increased by 59 basis points from 3.36% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to 3.95% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of the rising interest rate environment.

Interest income increased $11.3 million, or 23.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 reaching $58.6 million from $47.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was driven by a $362.5 million increase in the balance of average interest-earning assets between the two periods. Within the average balance of interest-earning assets, the average balance of loans receivable (net of PPP loans) grew $243.1 million, or 21.3%, between the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2022. In addition, the average yield of interest-earning assets increased by 12 basis points from 3.40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to 3.52% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of the rising interest rate environment.

Interest income on loans increased by $3.0 million, or 19.9%, to $18.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $15.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of loans (net of PPP loans). The average balance of these loans increased by $312.2 million, or 26.3%, to $1.5 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The average yield on loans, excluding PPP loans, increased by 33 basis points to 4.78% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from 4.45% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in the average balance of loans was due to our continued success in growing our commercial real estate, commercial real estate construction, and commercial and industrial loans. The increase in the average yield on loans was the direct result of loans that closed during the third quarter of 2022 that included the impact of the FRB's increase to its benchmark rate over the first three quarters of 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, interest income on loans increased by almost $6.0 million, or 14.1%, reaching $48.3 million as compared to $42.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in interest income on loans

represents the impact of growth in average loan balances (net of PPP loans) from $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to almost $1.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in average loans outstanding was due to continued growth of commercial real estate, commercial real estate construction, and commercial and industrial loans. This increase in production coupled with the increase in average yield on loans, excluding PPP loans, for the nine month periods from 4.49% in 2021 to 4.58% in 2022 created additional interest income during the 2022 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities and sales of securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

Our most liquid assets are cash and due from banks. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, cash and due from banks totaled $180.3 million and $390.0 million, respectively. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $547.3 million at September 30, 2022 and $464.8 million at December 31, 2021.

Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30, 2022 totaled $43.8 million, or 62.6% of total certificates of deposit. At September 30, 2022, total certificates of deposit were $70.1 million, or 3.2% of total deposits. Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2021 totaled $59.3 million, or 71.9% of total certificates of deposit. At December 31, 2021, total certificates of deposit were $82.4 million, or 4.3% of total deposits.

We participate in IntraFi Network, allowing us to provide access to multi-million-dollar FDIC deposit insurance protection on deposits for customers, businesses and public entities. We can elect to sell or repurchase this funding as reciprocal deposits from other IntraFi Network banks depending on our funding needs. At September 30, 2022, we had a total of $13.9 million of IntraFi Network deposits, all of which were repurchased as reciprocal deposits from the IntraFi Network.

Although customer deposits remain our preferred source of funds, maintaining back up sources of liquidity is part of our prudent liquidity risk management practices. We have the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. At September 30, 2022, we had no outstanding advances and the ability to borrow up to $508.0 million. At September 30, 2022, we had a $3.2 million collateralized line of credit from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with no outstanding balance. Additionally, we had a total of $25.0 million of discretionary lines of credit at September 30, 2022. We also have a borrowing agreement with Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”) to provide short-term borrowings of $5.0 million at September 30, 2022. There were no outstanding borrowings with ACBB at September 30, 2022.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.2 million and $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from the sale of securities and proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on securities, was $418.7 million and $240.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting of activity in deposit accounts and borrowings, was $269.5 million and $494.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position daily. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit retention experience, current pricing strategy and regulatory restrictions, we anticipate that a substantial portion of maturing time deposits will be retained, and that we can supplement our funding with borrowings in the event that we allow these deposits to run off at maturity.

Capital Resources. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FRB and the NYSDFS. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. See Note 10 to the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for actual and required capital amounts and ratios at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, which involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

At September 30, 2022, we had $397.7 million in loan commitments outstanding. We also had $13.0 million in standby letters of credit at September 30, 2022.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related financial data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

An Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures . As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures.

Internal control over financial reporting . There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
