Note 2: Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”)

ASU 2023-09:

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires public business entities to annually (a) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (b) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold of equal to or greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation is in the process of reviewing the impact of this ASU and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2023-07:

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The key amendments include: (a) introduce a new requirement to disclose significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), (b) extend certain annual disclosures to interim periods, (c) clarify single reportable segment entities must apply ASC 280 in its entirety, (d) permit more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions, and (e) require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM. This ASU is effective for public entities fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation is in the process of reviewing the impact of this ASU and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2020-04:

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU applies to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other rate references expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. The ASU permits an entity to make necessary modifications to eligible contracts or transactions without requiring contract remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. In January 2021, ASU 2021-01 clarified that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the changes in the interest rates used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment for derivative instruments that are being implemented as part of the market-wide transition to new reference rates (commonly referred to as the “discounting transition”). In December

2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The FASB had originally included a sunset provision within Topic 848 based on expectations of when the LIBOR would cease being published. In March 2021, it was announced that the intended cessation date of LIBOR was extended to June 30, 2023. As a result, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 deferring the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. This ASU is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2023, the Corporation had approximately $469.4 million in loans held for investment with LIBOR indices. Beginning July 1, 2023, the Corporation started to transition these loans to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) indices or other rate indices in accordance with the government agency guidelines. As of September 30, 2023, all loans held for investment with LIBOR indices had been transitioned to SOFR or other rate indices. The Corporation determined that the impact of the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-13:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance. On July 1, 2023, the Corporation adopted this ASU that replaced the incurred loss methodology with the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity investment securities and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”).

In addition, CECL made changes to the accounting for available for sale investment securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available for sale debt securities if management does not intend to sell and does not believe that it is more likely than not, they will be required to sell.

The Corporation adopted ASC 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” and all related subsequent amendments using the prospective transition approach for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The transition adjustment of the adoption of CECL included an $1.2 million increase in the ACL, which is presented as a reduction to net loans held for investment. The Corporation recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $824,000 as of July 1, 2023 for the cumulative effect of adopting CECL, which reflects the transition adjustments noted above, net of the applicable deferred tax assets recorded. Results for reporting periods beginning after July 1, 2023 are presented under CECL while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable accounting standards.

The Corporation adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to July 1, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the Corporation did not have any other-than-temporary impaired investment securities. Therefore, upon adoption of ASC 326, the Corporation determined that an ACL on available for sale securities was not deemed necessary.

The following table illustrates the impact on the ACL from the adoption of ASC 326:

In March 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” This ASU provides new guidance on the treatment of troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) in relation to the adoption of the CECL model for the accounting for credit losses (see note above regarding ASU 2016-13). Previous accounting guidance related to TDRs is eliminated and new disclosure requirements are adopted in regards to loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties under the assumption that the CECL model will capture credit losses related to TDRs. The required disclosures regarding gross write-offs for financing receivables by year of origination and loan modifications are presented under Note 5 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q. Subsequent to the adoption of ASC 326, the Corporation no longer reports TDRs or classifies loans as TDRs given those loans previously recognized as TDRs have been incorporated into the CECL methodology in regard to loan loss reserves as of July 1, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, there wereno loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.

Note 3: Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the earnings of the Corporation.

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were outstanding stock options to purchase 410,000 shares and 434,500 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 382,000 and 434,500 outstanding stock options, respectively, excluded from the diluted EPS computation as their effect was anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were outstanding restricted stock awards of 51,000 shares and 146,750 shares, respectively.

The following table provides the basic and diluted EPS computations for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 4: Investment Securities

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 were as follows:

(1)Mortgage-Backed Securities (“MBS”).

(2)Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMO”).

(3)Small Business Administration (“SBA”).

In the third quarters of fiscal 2024 and 2023, the Corporation received MBS principal payments of $5.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively, and there wereno purchases or sales of investment securities during these periods.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, the Corporation received MBS principal payments of $18.2 million and $23.8 million, respectively, and there wereno purchases or sales of investment securities during these periods.

The Corporation held investments with an unrealized loss position of $15.8 million at March 31, 2024 and $18.9 million at June 30, 2023 as follows:

The Corporation adopted ASC 326 on July 1, 2023. The Corporation evaluates individual investment securities quarterly for impairment. At March 31, 2024, predominately all of the $15.8 million of unrealized holding losses were in a loss position for 12 months or more; while at June 30, 2023, $18.6 million of the $18.9 million of unrealized holding losses were in a loss position for 12 months or more. The unrealized losses on investment securities were attributable to changes in interest rates relative to when the investment securities were purchased and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities, which are predominately U.S. government sponsored enterprise (GSE) securities that are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and have a long history ofno credit losses. Therefore, the Corporation has determined that the unrealized losses are due to the fluctuating nature of interest rates, and not related to any potential credit risks within the investment portfolio. The Bank does not currently intend to sell any investment securities classified as held to maturity or available for sale and as such, records the investment security at book value or fair market value as prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles. As a part of the Corporation’s monthly risk assessment, the Corporation runs a number of stressed liquidity scenarios to determine if it is more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the investment security before the recovery of its amortized costs basis. These liquidity scenarios support the Corporation’s assessment that the Corporation has the ability to hold these held to maturity securities until maturity or available for sale securities until recovery of the amortized costs is realized and it is not more likely than not that the company will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery of the amortized costs. There wereno ACL or impairment on investment securities held to maturity and there were no impairment on investment securities available for sale at adoption of ASC 326 and at March 31, 2024.

In order to maintain adequate liquidity, the Bank has established borrowing facilities with various counterparties. The Bank had a remaining borrowing capacity of $269.2 million as of March 31, 2024 at the FHLB of San Francisco. In addition, the Bank has secured an estimated $172.7 million discount window facility at the FRB of San Francisco collateralized by investment securities with total balance of $132.3 million and loans held for investment with total balance of $104.5 million as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Bank also has an unsecured borrowing arrangement in the form of a federal funds facility with its correspondent bank for $50.0 million. The Bank hadno advances under the Federal Reserve discount window or correspondent bank facility as of March 31, 2024. The total available borrowing capacity across all sources totaled approximately $491.9 million at March 31, 2024.

At June 30, 2023, the Bank had a remaining borrowing capacity of $287.9 million at the FHLB of San Francisco. In addition, the Bank had secured an estimated $139.0 million discount window facility at the FRB of San Francisco collateralized by investment securities with a June 30, 2023 total balance of $150.3 million. As of June 30, 2023, the Bank also had an unsecured borrowing arrangement in the form of a federal funds facility with its correspondent bank for $50.0

million. The Bank hadno advances under the Federal Reserve discount window or correspondent bank facility as of June 30, 2023. The total available borrowing capacity across all sources totaled approximately $476.9 million at June 30, 2023.

At March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Corporation did not hold any investment securities held to maturity or investment securities available for sale with the intent to sell and determined it had the ability to hold these investment securities until maturity. It also determined that it was more likely than not that the Corporation would not be required to sell the securities prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis; therefore, no impairment losses on were recorded on investment securities available for sale and investment securities held to maturity for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Contractual maturities of investment securities as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 were as follows:

Note 5: Loans Held for Investment

Loans held for investment, net of fair value adjustments, consisted of the following:

The following table sets forth information at March 31, 2024 regarding the dollar amount of loans held for investment that are contractually repricing during the periods indicated, segregated between adjustable rate loans and fixed rate loans. At March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, fixed rate loans comprised 10 percent and 11 percent of loans held for investment, respectively. Adjustable rate loans that reprice when the index they are tied to reprices (e.g. prime rate index) and checking account overdrafts are reported as repricing within one year. The table does not include any estimate of prepayments which may cause the Corporation’s actual repricing experience to differ materially from that shown.

(1)Other than the Inland Empire.

The Corporation has developed an internal loan grading system to evaluate and quantify loans held for investment with respect to quality and risk. Management continually evaluates the credit quality of the loan portfolio and conducts a quarterly review of the adequacy of the ACL. The Corporation has adopted an internal risk rating policy in which each loan is rated for credit quality with a rating of pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss.

The two primary components that are used during the loan review process to determine the proper allowance levels are individually evaluated allowances and collectively evaluated allowances. The collectively evaluated allowance is based on a pooling method for groups of homogeneous loans sharing similar loan characteristics to calculate an allowance which reflects an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Loans identified to be individually evaluated have an allowance that is based upon the appraised value of the collateral, less selling costs or discounted cash flow with an appropriate default factor.

The Corporation categorizes all of the loans held for investment into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrower to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades is as follows:

weaknesses, that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. A substandard loan is characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

The following table presents the Corporation’s recorded investment in loans by risk categories and gross charge-offs by year of origination as of March 31, 2024:

The following table presents the Corporation’s recorded investment in loans by risk categories by year of origination as of June 30, 2023:

As required by ASC 326,* on July 1, 2023 the Corporation implemented CECL and recognized a $1.2 million one-time increase to its ACL. Under ASC 326,* the ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the related loan’s amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Corporation’s ACL is calculated quarterly, with any difference in the calculated ACL and the recorded ACL trued-up through an entry to the provision for credit losses. Management calculates the quantitative portion of the collectively evaluated allowance for all loan categories using an average charge-off or loss rate methodology and generally evaluates collectively evaluated loans by Call Report code in order to group and determine portfolio loan segments with similar risk characteristics. The Corporation primarily utilizes historical loss rates for the CECL calculation based on its own specific historical losses and/or with peer loss history where applicable.

The expected loss rates are applied to expected monthly loan balances estimated through the consideration of contractual repayment terms and expected prepayments. The prepayment assumptions applied to expected cash flow over the contractual life of the loans are estimated based on historical and bank-specific experience and the consideration of current and expected conditions and circumstances including the level of interest rates. The prepayment assumptions may be updated by management in the event that changing conditions impact management’s estimate or additional historical data gathered has resulted in the need for a reevaluation.

For its reasonable and supportable forecasting of current expected credit losses, the Corporation utilizes a regression model using forecasted economic metrics and historical loss data. The regression model utilized upon implementation of CECL on July 1, 2023*,*and as of March 31, 2024, relied upon reasonable and supportable 12-month forecasts of the National Unemployment Rate and change in the Real Gross Domestic Product, after which it reverts to a historical loss rate. Management selected the National Unemployment Rate and the Real Gross Domestic Product as the drivers of the forward look component of the collectively evaluated allowance, primarily as a result of high correlation coefficients identified in regression modeling, the availability of forecasts, including the quarterly Federal Open Market Committee forecast, and the widespread familiarity of these economic metrics.

Management recognizes that there are additional factors impacting risk of loss in the loan portfolio beyond what is captured in the quantitative portion of allowance on collectively evaluated loans. As current and expected conditions may* *vary compared with conditions over the historical lookback period, which is utilized in the calculation of the quantitative allowance, management considers whether additional or reduced allowance levels on collectively evaluated loans may be warranted, given the consideration of a variety of qualitative factors. The following qualitative factors (“Q-factors”) considered by management reflect the regulatory guidance on the Q-factors:

The qualitative portion of the Corporation’s allowance on collectively evaluated loans are calculated using management judgement, to determine risk categorizations in each of the Q-factors presented above. The amount of qualitative allowance is also contingent upon the relative weighting of the Q-factors according to management’s judgement.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. When management determines that foreclosure is probable and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of collateral at the reporting date, less selling costs.

Accrued interest receivable for loans is included in the accrued interest receivable line item on the Corporation’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Corporation elected not* *to measure an allowance for accrued interest receivable and instead elected to reverse accrued interest income on loans that are placed on non-performing status. A loan is deemed non-performing when it is 90 days or more delinquent and the Bank has stopped accruing interest income. Any outstanding interest receivable that has not been collected is reversed, disclosed accordingly; and therefore, no allowance is established. The Corporation believes this policy results in the timely reversal of potentially uncollectible interest.

Pursuant to ASU 2022-02, “Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures,” the Corporation may agree to different types of modifications, including principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, term extension, significant payment delay or any combination of modifications noted above. During the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024, there wereno loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.

Management believes the ACL on loans held for investment is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for expected losses on the Corporation’s loans held for investment based on historical loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The provision for (recovery of) credit losses is charged (credited) against operations on a quarterly basis, as necessary, to maintain the ACL at appropriate levels. Future adjustments to the ACL may be necessary and results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected as a result of economic, operating, regulatory, and other conditions beyond the Corporation’s control.

Non-performing loans are charged-off to their fair market values in the period the loans, or portion thereof, are deemed uncollectible, generally after the loan becomes 150 days delinquent for real estate secured first trust deed loans and 120 days delinquent for commercial business or real estate secured second trust deed loans. For loans that were modified from their original terms, were re-underwritten and identified as modified loans, the charge-off occurs when the loan becomes 90 days delinquent; and where borrowers file bankruptcy, the charge-off occurs when the loan becomes 60 days delinquent. The amount of the charge-off is determined by comparing the loan balance to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less disposition costs, with the loan balance in excess of the estimated fair value charged-off against the ACL. For modified loans that are less than 90 days delinquent, the ACL is segregated into (a) individually evaluated allowances for those loans with applicable discounted cash flow calculations still in their modification period, classified lower than pass, and containing an embedded loss component or (b) collectively evaluated allowances based on the aggregated pooling method. For non-performing loans less than 60 days delinquent where the borrower has filed bankruptcy, the collectively evaluated allowances are assigned based on the aggregated pooling method. For non-performing commercial real estate loans, an individually evaluated allowance is derived based on the loan's discounted cash flow fair value (for modified loans) or collateral fair value less estimated selling costs and if the fair value is higher than the loan balance, no allowance is required.

The following table is provided to disclose additional details for the periods indicated on the Corporation’s ACL on loans held for investment:
