Management’s Report on Internal Control

over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for designing, implementing, documenting, and

maintaining an adequate system of internal

control over financial

reporting, as

such term

is defined

in the Exchange

Act. An

adequate system

of internal control

over

financial reporting encompasses the processes and procedures

that have been established by management to:

•

maintain records that accurately reflect the Company’s

transactions;

•

prepare

and

footnote

in

with

U.S.

GAAP

that

can

be

relied

upon

by

external users; and

•

prevent and detect unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material

effect on the financial statements.

Management conducted

an evaluation

of the

effectiveness

of the

internal control

over financial

based on the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of

the

Treadway

Commission

(COSO).

Based

on

this

under

the

criteria

in

Control-Integrated

Framework,

management concluded that

internal control over financial

reporting was effective

2023. Furthermore,

during the conduct of its assessment, management identified no material weakness in

its financial reporting control system.

The Board of USCB

Financial Holdings, Inc., through its

Audit Committee, provides oversight to

management’s conduct

of

the

process.

The

Audit

which

is

composed

entirely

of

independent

is

also

responsible for the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm. The

Audit Committee also meets with

management, the internal audit staff,

and the independent registered public accounting

firm throughout the year to provide

assurance as to the adequacy of the

financial reporting process and to monitor the

overall scope of the work performed by

the internal audit staff and the independent public accountants.

Because of its inherent limitations, the disclosure controls and

procedures may not prevent or detect misstatements.

A

control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the

objectives of the control system are met. Because

of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no

evaluation of controls

can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of

fraud, if any,

have been detected. Also, projections

of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of

changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the

policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been

no change in

our internal control

over financial reporting

(as defined in

Rules 13a-15(f) and

15d-15(f)

Exchange Act)

during our

most recent

fiscal quarter

that has

materially affected, or

is reasonably

affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
