BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
GrandSouth Bancorporation
(“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) was incorporated on September 7, 2000 for
the purpose of becoming the holding company for GrandSouth Bank (the “Bank”). On October 2, 2000, pursuant to the
Plan of Exchange, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Bank were exchanged for shares of the Company. The Company’s
primary operation is its investment in the Bank. The Company also owns 100% of the common stock of GrandSouth Capital Trust I
(the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust formed in 2006 to facilitate the issuance of trust preferred securities.
The Bank
is a South Carolina state-chartered commercial bank that provides a full range of banking services. The Bank is insured and subject
to the regulation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and is also subject to the regulation of the
South Carolina State Board of Financial Institutions.
Principles
of Consolidation
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. The accounts of the Trust are not consolidated
with the Company. In consolidation all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Business
Segments
Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280-10, “Segment Reporting,” requires selected segment information of
operating segments based on a management approach. The Company’s two reportable segments represent the distinct product
lines the Company offers and are viewed separately for strategic planning by management. Please refer to “Note 9 –
Reportable Segments” for further information on the reporting for the Company’s two business segments.
Estimates
The preparation
of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and 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, in the near term, relate to the determination of the allowance
for loan losses, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, and the valuation
of deferred tax assets.
Basis of
Presentation
The accompanying
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles,
or GAAP, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,
filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, these interim financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations
for each of the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
of operations that may be expected for a full year or any future period.
Reclassification
Certain amounts
in the prior year’s financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
The reclassifications had no effect on our results of operations or financial condition as previously reported.
Recent Accounting
Standards Updates
In September
2016, the FASB issued amendments to ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in the update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured
at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected thereby providing financial statement users
with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend
credit held by the reporting entity. The amendments will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2022. The Company has formed a cross-functional committee to provide corporate governance over the implementation of this
update, has evaluated data sources and made process updates to capture additional relevant data, has identified a service provider
to perform the calculation, and continues to attend seminars and forums specific to this update. The Company also engaged the
service provider to assist with the implementation of the standard. While we continue to evaluate the impact the new guidance
will have on our financial position and results of operations, we currently expect the new guidance may result in an increase
to our allowance for credit losses given the change to estimated losses over the contractual life of the loan portfolio. The amount
of any change to our allowance will depend, in part, upon the composition of our loan portfolio at the adoption date as well as
economic conditions and loss forecasts at that date.
In August 2021,
the FASB issued amendments to update SEC paragraphs in the Accounting Standards Codification to reflect the issuance of SEC Release
No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses, and No. 33-10835, Update of Statistical
Disclosures for Bank and Savings and Loan Registrants. The amendments were effective upon issuance. These amendments did not have
a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Other accounting
standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies did not or are not expected to have
a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Portfolio Quality Indicators
The
Company’s loan portfolio grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations
of the loan agreements as scheduled. The Company’s internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly
graded loans, industry best practices, and regulatory guidance. Credit risk grades are refreshed each quarter, at which time management
analyzes the resulting information, as well as other external statistics and factors, to track loan performance.
The
Company’s internally assigned grades pursuant to the Board-approved lending policy are as follows:
| · | Pass
(1-5) – Acceptable loans with any identifiable weaknesses appropriately mitigated. |
| · | Special
Mention (6) – Potential weakness or identifiable weakness present without appropriate
mitigating factors; however, loan continues to perform satisfactorily with no material
delinquency noted. This may include some deterioration in repayment capacity and/or
loan-to-value of securing collateral. |
| · | Substandard
(7) – Significant weakness that remains unmitigated, most likely due to diminished
repayment capacity, serious delinquency, and/or marginal performance based upon restructured
loan terms. |
| · | Doubtful
(8) – Significant weakness that remains unmitigated and collection in full is highly
questionable or improbable. |
| · | Loss
(9) – Collectability is unlikely resulting in immediate charge-off. |
Description of Segment and Class
Risks
Each of our
portfolio segments and the classes within those segments are subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on the credit
quality of our loan portfolio. Management has identified the most significant risks as described below which are generally similar
among our segments and classes. While the list is not exhaustive, it provides a description of the risks that management has determined
are the most significant.
One-to-four
family residential
We centrally
underwrite each of our one-to-four family residential loans using credit scoring and analytical tools consistent with the Board-approved
lending policy and internal procedures based upon industry best practices and regulatory directives. We also evaluate the value
and marketability of the collateral. Common risks to each class of non-commercial loans, including one-to-four family residential,
include risks that are not specific to individual transactions such as general economic conditions within our markets, particularly
unemployment and potential declines in real estate values. Personal events such as death, disability or change in marital status
also add risk to non-commercial loans.
Commercial real estate
Commercial mortgage
loans are primarily dependent on the ability of our customers to achieve business results consistent with those projected at loan
origination resulting in cash flow sufficient to service the debt. To the extent that a customer’s business results are
significantly unfavorable versus the original projections, the ability for our loan to be serviced on a basis consistent with
the contractual terms may be at risk. While these loans are secured by real property and possibly other business assets such as
inventory or accounts receivable, it is possible that the liquidation of the collateral will not fully satisfy the obligation.
Other commercial real estate loans consist primarily of loans secured by multifamily housing. The primary risk associated with
multifamily loans is the ability of the income-producing property that collateralizes the loan to produce adequate cash flow to
service the debt. High unemployment or generally weak economic conditions may result in our customer having to provide rental
rate concessions to achieve adequate occupancy rates.
Home equity
and lines of credit
Home equity
loans are often secured by first or second liens on residential real estate, thereby making such loans particularly susceptible
to declining collateral values. A substantial decline in collateral value could render our second lien position to be effectively
unsecured. Additional risks include lien perfection inaccuracies and disputes with first lienholders that may further weaken our
collateral position. Further, the open-end structure of these loans creates the risk that customers may draw on the lines of credit
in excess of the collateral value if there have been significant declines since origination.
Residential
construction and other construction and land
Residential
mortgage construction loans are typically secured by undeveloped or partially developed land with funds to be disbursed as home
construction is completed contingent upon receipt and satisfactory review of invoices and inspections. Declines in real estate
values can result in residential mortgage loan borrowers having debt levels in excess of the collateral’s current market
value. Non-commercial construction and land development loans can experience delays in completion and/or cost overruns that exceed
the borrower’s financial ability to complete the project. Cost overruns can result in foreclosure of partially completed
collateral with unrealized value and diminished marketability. Commercial construction and land
development loans are dependent on the supply and demand for commercial real estate in the markets we serve as well as the demand
for newly constructed residential homes and building lots. Deterioration in demand could result in significant decreases in the
underlying collateral values and make repayment of the outstanding loans more difficult for our customers.
Commercial
We centrally
underwrite each of our commercial loans, which includes agricultural loans and specialty floor-plan lending, based primarily upon
the customer’s ability to generate the required cash flow to service the debt in accordance with the contractual terms and
conditions of the loan agreement. We strive to gain a complete understanding of our borrower’s businesses, including the
experience and background of the principals of such businesses. To the extent that the loan is secured by collateral, which is
a predominant feature of the majority of our commercial loans, or other assets including accounts receivable and inventory, we
gain an understanding of the likely value of the collateral and what level of strength it brings to the loan transaction. To the
extent that the principals or other parties are obligated under the note or guaranty agreements, we analyze the relative financial
strength and liquidity of each guarantor. Common risks to each class of commercial loans include risks that are not specific to
individual transactions such as general economic conditions within our markets, as well as risks that are specific to each transaction
including volatility or seasonality of cash flows, changing demand for products and services, personal events such as death, disability
or change in marital status, and reductions in the value of our collateral. Common risks to specialty floor-plan lending includes
adverse conditions in the automobile market and risks associated with declining values. The performance of agricultural loans
is highly dependent on favorable weather, reasonable costs for seed and fertilizer, and the ability to successfully market the
product at a profitable margin. The demand for these products is also dependent on macroeconomic conditions that are beyond the
control of the borrower.
Consumer
The consumer
loan portfolio includes loans secured by personal property such as automobiles, marketable securities, other titled recreational
vehicles including boats and motorcycles, purchased student loans for which there is a 98% guarantee, as well as unsecured consumer
debt. The value of underlying collateral within this class is especially volatile due to potential rapid depreciation in values
since the date of loan origination in excess of principal repayment.

loans by portfolio segment and loan grade is presented in the following tables as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Overview
Fair value measurements
are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering
market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC
820”) establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data
obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of
the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information
available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
Fair Value
Hierarchy
Level 1
- Valuation is based on inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that
the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2
- Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly, such as interest rates, yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, and other
market-corroborated inputs.
Level 3
- Valuation is generated from techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These
unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
In general,
fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is
based upon models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. In instances where the determination of the
fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy
within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement
in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company evaluates fair value measurement
inputs on an ongoing basis in order to determine if there is a change of sufficient significance to warrant a transfer between
levels. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that
caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company’s valuation process.
Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
The Company
uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities on a
recurring basis:
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
We obtain fair
values for debt securities from a third-party pricing service, which utilizes several sources for valuing fixed-income securities.
The market evaluation sources for debt securities include observable inputs rather than significant unobservable inputs and are
classified as Level 2. The service provider utilizes pricing models that vary by asset class and include available trade, bid
and other market information. Generally, the methodologies include broker quotes, proprietary models, vast descriptive terms and
conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs.
Also included
in securities are corporate bonds which are valued using significant unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 2 or Level
3 based on market information available during the period.
Financial assets measured
at fair value on a recurring basis segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure
fair value are presented below as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

Financial Assets Measured on a
Nonrecurring Basis
The Company
uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of its financial assets on a nonrecurring basis:
Impaired Loans
Impaired loans
are carried at the lower of recorded investment or fair value. The fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans is estimated
using the value of the collateral less selling costs if repayment is expected from liquidation of the collateral. Appraisals may
be discounted based on our historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of appraisal or our knowledge of the
borrower and the borrower’s business. Impaired loans carried at fair value are classified as Level 3. Impaired loans measured
using the present value of expected future cash flows are not deemed to be measured at fair value.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate
owned, or REO, obtained in partial or total satisfaction of a loan is recorded at the lower of recorded investment in the loan
or fair value less cost to sell. Subsequent to foreclosure, these assets are carried at the lower of the amount recorded at acquisition
date or fair value less cost to sell. Accordingly, it may be necessary to record nonrecurring fair value adjustments. Fair value,
when recorded, is generally based upon appraisals by approved, independent, state certified appraisers. Like impaired loans, appraisals
may be discounted based on our historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of appraisal or other information
available to us. REO carried at fair value is classified as Level 3.

assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy
utilized to measure fair value are presented below as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

Non-GAAP
Measures
This
Form 10-Q includes financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”). This financial information includes the operating performance measure “Tangible book value per common
share, outstanding”.
Management
has included this non-GAAP measure because it believes this measure may provide useful supplemental information for evaluating
the Company’s underlying performance trends. Further, management uses this measure in managing and evaluating the Company’s
business and intends to refer to them in discussions about our operations and performance. Operating performance measures should
be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and are
not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other companies.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our critical
accounting estimates involving significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
as of March 31, 2022 have remained unchanged from the disclosures presented in our 2021 Form 10-K. Refer to Note 1 in the notes
to the consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 -“Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q for more
information about recent accounting updates.
Overview
GrandSouth Bancorporation
(“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in 2000 under the laws
of South Carolina and is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The Company’s primary
purpose is to serve as the holding company for GrandSouth Bank (the “Bank”). On October 2, 2000, pursuant to a Plan
of Exchange approved by the shareholders of the Bank, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Bank were exchanged
for shares of the Company, and the Company became the owner of all of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank. The Company presently
engages in no business other than that of owning the Bank and has no employees.
The Company
has one non-bank subsidiary, GrandSouth Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, formed to facilitate
the issuance of trust preferred securities. The GrandSouth Trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.
We
provide a full range of financial services through offices located throughout South Carolina. We provide full-service retail and
commercial banking products.
Our results
of operations are significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions in our market areas and nationally, as
well as changes in interest rates, sources of funding, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes
in applicable laws, regulations or government policies may materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The following
discussion and analysis is presented on a consolidated basis and focuses on the major components of the Company’s operations
and significant changes in its results of operations for the periods presented. We encourage you to read this discussion and analysis
in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes and the other statistical information included in this Form
10-Q and in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Discussion
of Financial Condition
General
Total
assets increased $49.5 million to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2022, or 4.11%, from December 31, 2021. This increase in assets was
primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents of $35.1 million, investments available for sale (“AFS”) of
$11.2 million, and loans of $2.7 million.
Total
liabilities increased $50.5 million to $1.2 billion at March 31, 2022, or 4.57%, from December 31, 2021, due primarily to increases
in total deposits of $49.9 million, which includes increases in interest-bearing deposits of $46.8 million.
Total
shareholders’ equity decreased $1.0 million to $96.4 million, or 1.00%, from December 31, 2021, due to normal retention
of earnings, exercise of stock options, and stock-based compensation partially offset by changes in the fair value of AFS investments
and payment of dividends. Book Value per common share decreased $0.29 to $18.32 at March 31, 2022 from $18.61 at December 31,
2021. Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP measure, also decreased $0.29 to $18.18 at March 31, 2022 from $18.47 at
December 31, 2021.

Included in
commercial loans are PPP loans totaling $0.1 million and $1.3 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Delinquent Loans
When
a loan becomes 15 days past due, we contact the borrower to inquire as to the status of the loan payment. When a loan becomes
30 days or more past due, we increase collection efforts to include all available forms of communication. Once a loan becomes
45 days past due, we generally issue a demand letter and further explore the reasons for non-repayment, discuss repayment options,
and inspect the collateral. In the event the loan officer or collections staff has reason to believe restructuring will be mutually
beneficial to the borrower and the Bank, the borrower is referred to the Bank’s Credit Administration staff to explore restructuring
alternatives to foreclosure. Once the demand period has expired and it has been determined that restructuring is not a viable
option, the Bank’s counsel is instructed to pursue foreclosure.
The accrual
of interest on loans is discontinued at the time a loan becomes 90 days delinquent or when it becomes impaired, whichever occurs
first, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that
are placed on nonaccrual is reversed. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are generally applied as a direct reduction
to the principal outstanding until the loan is returned to accrual status. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans may
be recognized as income on a cash basis if recovery of the remaining principal is reasonably assured. Loans are returned to accrual
status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Interest payments applied to principal while the loan was on nonaccrual may be recognized in income over the remaining life of
the loan after the loan is returned to accrual status.
If a
loan is modified in a troubled debt restructure (“TDR”), the loan is generally placed on non-accrual until there is
a period of satisfactory payment performance by the borrower (either immediately before or after the restructuring), generally
six consecutive months, and the ultimate collectability of all amounts contractually due is not in doubt. For a discussion of
TDRs, see the section entitled “Troubled Debt Restructurings” below.
The following
table sets forth certain information with respect to our loan portfolio carrying balances of delinquencies at the dates indicated
(in thousands). We had one loan with a balance of $50 thousand that was more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest
as of March 31, 2022 that was not 98% guaranteed by the issuing agency. We had no loans 90 days or more past due that are still
accruing interest as of December 31, 2021 that are not 98% guaranteed by the issuing agency.

on collection efforts and favorable resolutions.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming
loans include all loans past due 90 days and over that are not 98% guaranteed by the issuing agency, certain impaired loans, and
TDR loans that have not yet established a satisfactory period of payment performance (some of which may be contractually current).
Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans and other real estate owned (“REO”). The table below sets forth the

and nonperforming assets by means of restructure, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure and sales.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
In situations
where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, we grant a concession that we would
not otherwise consider, for other than an insignificant period of time, the related loan is classified as a TDR. We strive to
identify borrowers in financial difficulty early so that we may work with them to modify their loans before they reach nonaccrual
status. Modified terms generally include extensions of maturity dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market
rate for a new loan with similar risk characteristics, reductions in contractual interest rates, periods of interest-only payments,
and principal deferments. A restructuring that results in only a delay in payments that is insignificant is not considered an
economic concession. While unusual, there may be instances of forgiveness of loan principal. We individually evaluate all substandard
loans that experience a modification of terms to determine if a TDR has occurred.
All TDRs over
$200,000 are considered to be impaired loans and are reported as such for the remaining life of the loan, unless the restructuring
agreement specifies an interest rate equal to or greater than the rate that would be accepted at the time of the restructuring
for a new loan with comparable risk and the ultimate collectability of all amounts contractually due is not in doubt. We may also
remove a loan from TDR and impaired status if the loan is subsequently restructured and at the time of the subsequent restructuring
the borrower is not experiencing financial difficulties and, under the terms of the subsequent restructuring agreement, no concession
has been granted to the borrower.

continues to dedicate resources to monitoring and resolving classified and criticized loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance
for loan losses reflects our estimates of probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance
for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability
of our loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of our loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect
our borrowers’ abilities to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions.
This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information
becomes available. The methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses has two main components: the evaluation of individual
loans for impairment and the evaluation of certain groups of homogeneous loans with similar risk characteristics.
A loan
is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due according
to the original contractual terms of the loan. We individually evaluate loans, or relationships, greater than $200,000 for impairment
that are classified as nonaccrual, TDRs, or performing substandard loans. If the impaired loan is considered collateral dependent,
a charge-off is taken based upon the appraised value of the property less an estimate of selling costs if foreclosure or sale
of the property is anticipated. If the impaired loan is not collateral dependent, a specific reserve is established based upon
an estimate of the future discounted cash flows after consideration of modifications and the likelihood of future default and
prepayment.
The allowance
for homogenous loans consists of a base loss reserve and a qualitative reserve. The loss rates for the base loss reserve, segmented
into seven loan categories, contain average net loss rates ranging from approximately 0.00% to 0.58%.
The qualitative
reserve adjusts the weighted average loss rates utilized in the base loss reserve for trends in the following internal and external
factors:
| · | Changes
in lending and loan review policies; |
| · | Economic
conditions – including unemployment rates, federal macroeconomic data, housing
prices and sales, and regional economic outlooks; |
| · | Changes
in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of the loans; |
| · | Experience,
ability, and depth of lending management; |
| · | Volume
and severity of past due, nonaccrual, and classified loans; |
| · | Changes
in the quality of the institution’s loan review system; |
| · | Loan
concentrations and loan growth; and |
| · | The
effect of other external factors such as competition, legal and regulatory requirements
on the level of estimated credit losses. |
Qualitative
reserve adjustment factors are decreased for favorable trends and increased for unfavorable trends. There is no certainty that
our ALL will be appropriate over time to cover losses in our portfolio as economic and market conditions may ultimately differ
from our reasonable and supportable forecast.

table summarizes the net charge-off detail as a percentage of average loans by loan composition for the periods indicated (in

primarily as the result of loan growth in our more heavily reserved CarBucks segment.
We have continued
to experience limited charge-off amounts and stable collections of amounts previously charged-off. The overall historical loss
rate used in our allowance for loan losses calculation continues to decline as previous quarters with larger loss rates are eliminated
from the calculation as time passes. Our coverage ratio of nonperforming loans increased to 2,221.18% at March 31, 2022 from 1,017.27%
at December 31, 2021 primarily as the result of the decreased balance of nonperforming loans during the period.

At March
31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we estimate that we have approximately $440.1 million and $393.8 million, respectively, in uninsured
deposits including related interest accrued and unpaid. Since it is not reasonably practicable to provide a precise measure of
uninsured deposits, these amounts are estimates and are based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for the Bank’s
regulatory reporting requirements by the FDIC for the Call Report.
As indicated
in the above table, deposit balances increased approximately $49.9 million, or 4.71%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022
compared to December 31, 2021. The increase in total deposits was mainly attributable to the $46.3 million, or 9.25%, increase
in money market accounts and $10.5 million, or 20.06%, increase in interest-bearing demand accounts, partially offset by a $10.9
million, or 5.23%, decline in time deposits.
Discussion
of Results of Operation
Comparison
of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.
General
Net income
for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $4.1 million, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2021. The increase
in net income for the period was primarily the result of increases in net interest income and of $1.0 million, partially offset
by an increase in noninterest expenses totaling $0.3 million.
Net Interest
Income
Net interest
income increased $1.0 million, or 8.10%, to $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $12.1 million
for the same period in 2021. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a higher volume in loans (both Core Bank
and CarBucks) and taxable investments, and decreases in costs on time deposits. This was partially offset by the decline in yields
on our Core Bank loans and taxable investments during the period.
The following
table sets forth the average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from
average interest-earning assets on a tax-equivalent basis, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing
liabilities, and the resulting average tax-equivalent yields and cost for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily
average balances. Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table
as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees and costs that are amortized or
accreted to interest income or expense.

Net interest
income before provision for loan losses increased to $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $12.1
million for the same period in 2021, due to improvements in volume, partially offset by unfavorable movements in interest rates.
The increase
in tax-equivalent net interest income of $1.3 million related to volume was primarily the result of higher average loan (both
Core Bank and CarBucks) which increased $47.9 million, and a $71.4 million decrease in average time deposits for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in average loan and taxable investment balances was partially
offset by increases of $119.3 million in money market balances.
The decrease
in tax-equivalent net interest income of $0.4 million related to rate was primarily the result of decreased costs on time deposits
and decreased yields on Core Bank and CarBucks loans.
Our tax-equivalent
net interest margin was 4.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 4.57% for the same period in 2021, a decrease
of eight basis points. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily attributable to higher average loan balances combined
with interest rate reductions on our cost of funds partially offset by reduced yields on our Core Bank and CarBucks loans.
Provision
for Loan Losses
We recorded
a provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $0.3 million due to organic loan growth and certain qualitative
adjustments in response to shifts in used car demand which could impact our CarBucks portfolio. This compares to a $0.2 million
provision for loan losses in for the same period in 2021. We are experiencing continued stabilization in asset quality, low charge-off
amounts and a decline in the historical loss rates used in our allowance for loan losses model. In light of ongoing supply chain
disruptions, labor shortages and the associated impact on monetary policy, there is a risk that loss rates could increase.

Our noninterest
expense increased $0.3 million to $8.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021,
primarily as the result of increases in compensation and employee benefits of $0.5 million. This increase was partially offset
by a $0.1 million decrease in the net cost of operation of real estate owned. The increase in compensation and employee benefits
is primarily related to increased full-time equivalent employees combined with annual raises and increases in employee benefits,
incentives and commissions. The decrease in the net cost of operation of real estate owned is primarily related to a decrease

Income tax expense
totaled $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2021. Income tax
expense benefited from tax-exempt income related to municipal bond investments and BOLI income resulting in effective tax rates
of 23.6% and 24.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
We continue
to have unutilized net operating losses for state income tax purposes and no material current tax receivables or liabilities.

Core Bank
Core Bank consists
of commercial and consumer lending and full-service branches in its geographic region with its own management team. The branches
provide a full range of traditional banking products as well as treasury services and merchant services.
Core Bank net
income increased $0.8 million to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $2.0 million for the same
period in 2021. Net interest income increased $0.2 million to $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $7.9
million for the same period a year ago primarily due to increased loan volume and reduced funding costs, partially offset by a
reduction in loan yield. Provision for loan losses decreased $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to
2021 due to lower net charge off activity and loan balance contraction during the first quarter of 2022 as opposed to loan balance
growth during the first quarter of 2021. Noninterest expense increased $0.1 million to $5.3 million for the 2022 period compared
to $5.2 million for the same period in 2021 due primarily to an increase in compensation and employee benefits expense in 2022.
CarBucks
CarBucks provides
specialty floor plan inventory financing for more than 1,600 small automobile dealers in over 20 states. Credit lines are established
for each approved dealer using the Company’s Board approved underwriting guidelines. Advances and repayments on credit lines
averaging $0.1 million are vehicle specific. The inventory typically consists of over 12,000 floored used vehicles with an average
price of $8,000 per unit, generally has an average 67-day turnover, and generates approximately $300 in financing fees per vehicle
which is included in loan interest income.
CarBucks net
income decreased $0.4 million to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1.6 million for the same
three-month period in 2021. Net interest income increased $0.6 million to $4.8 million for the 2022 period from $4.2 million for
the same period a year ago primarily due to increased fees related to increases in inventory. Provision for loan losses increased
$0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021 due to increased net charge offs and higher loan balance,
partially offset by lower qualitative adjustments. Noninterest expense increased $0.2 million to $2.7 million for the 2022 period
compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2021 due primarily to an increase in compensation and employee benefits expense
in 2022.
Other
Other includes
parent company transactions, investment securities portfolio, BOLI, excess death benefits, net intercompany eliminations, and
certain other activities not currently allocated to the aforementioned segments.
Other net income
increased $0.2 million to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 primarily
due to increased interest income related to the Company’s taxable investments, partially offset by a decrease in BOLI income.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Liquidity
and Market Risk. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), and the sale of available-for-sale 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 ALCO, under the direction of our Chief Financial Officer, is responsible
for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting
the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We have not experienced any
unusual pressure on our deposit balances or our liquidity position as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We
believe that, as of March 31, 2022, we have enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our liquidity needs for the next twelve months
and thereafter.
We regularly
monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows
and borrowing maturities, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of our asset/liability
management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“FRB”)
interest-earning deposits and investment securities and are also used to pay off short-term borrowings. At March 31, 2022, cash
and cash equivalents totaled $159.2 million. Included in this total was $131.6 million held at the FRB, $1.2 million held at the
FHLB, and $21.8 million held at correspondent banks in interest-earning accounts.
Our cash
flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our consolidated statements
of cash flows included in our unaudited consolidated financial statements of this From 10-Q. The following summarizes the most
significant sources and uses of liquidity during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

In addition,
because the Company is a separate entity from the Bank, it must provide for its own liquidity. The Company is responsible for
payment of dividends declared on its common and preferred stock and interest and principal on any outstanding debt or trust preferred
securities. The Company currently has internal capital resources to meet these obligations. While the Company has access to capital,
the ultimate sources of its liquidity are dividends from the Bank and tax allocation agreements, which are limited by applicable
law and regulations. The Bank paid no dividends to the Company in the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021.
At March 31,
2022, we had $322.5 million in outstanding commitments to extend credit through unused lines of credit and stand-by letters of
credit.
Depending on
market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on our deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on certificates
of deposit. Based on historical experience and current market interest rates, we anticipate that following their maturity we will
retain a large portion of our retail certificates of deposit with maturities of one year or less as March 31, 2022.
In addition
to loans, we invest in securities that provide a source of liquidity, both through repayments and as collateral for borrowings.
Our securities portfolio includes both callable securities (which allow the issuer to exercise call options) and mortgage-backed
securities (which allow borrowers to prepay loans). Accordingly, a decline in interest rates would likely prompt issuers to exercise
call options and borrowers to prepay higher-rate loans, producing higher than otherwise scheduled cash flows.
Liquidity management is both
a daily and long-term function of management. If we require more funds than we are able to generate locally, we have a borrowing
agreement with the FHLB. The following summarizes our borrowing capacity as of March 31, 2022 (in thousands):

Capital
Resources. Shareholders’ equity decreased $1.0 million to $96.4 million at March 31, 2022 compared to $97.4 million
at December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily attributable to net income of $4.1 million, stock-based compensation of $0.1
million, and stock options exercised of $0.4 million offset by after-tax decreases in market value of AFS investment securities
of $4.9 million and dividends declared of $0.7 million.
