In addition, certain cryptocurrency exchanges and other market participants may pay yield on digital asset holdings in the same manner as interest-bearing deposit accounts which may result in loss of deposits. Accordingly, digital asset service providers, who currently are not subject to the same extensive regulation as banking organizations and other financial institutions, have become potential competitors for our customers' banking business.

In addition, we expect the Trump administration will continue to seek to implement a regulatory reform agenda that is significantly different than that of the Biden administration, thereby impacting the rulemaking, supervision, examination and enforcement priorities of the federal banking agencies. Our results of operations could be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations and in the way existing statutes and regulations are interpreted or applied by courts and government agencies.

Unfavorable trends in inflation prompted the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee, or FOMC, to increase the target federal funds rate (the interest rate banks charge each other for short-term borrowing) in 2022 and 2023, which resulted in yield increases on our earning assets.

The 2025 credit loss provision is mainly due to loan growth and a specific reserve related to one collateral dependent loan that was individually evaluated for impairment. The 2024 provision reversal was mainly due to loan recoveries totaling$2.2 million,$2,184,000, which was offset in part by loan growth. The loan recoveries in 2024 were primarily from two loans from different borrowers recovered during third quarter of 2024 totaling $1,992,000. Each of the recovered loans date back to the recession period when collateral values were considerably depressed, and one of which was acquired in 2015 when we completed a bank acquisition. The loan recoveries initially increased the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”), which subsequently resulted in the reversal of $1,620,000.

Unfavorable trends in inflation prompted the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee, or FOMC, to increase the target federal funds rate (the interest rate banks charge each other for short-term borrowing) in 2022 and 2023, which resulted in yield increases on our earning assets. In response to moderating inflation and weakening economic conditions, in 2024 and 2025 the FOMC made minimalapproved interest rates cuts.

We recorded net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $23,913,000 or $2.88 per diluted share compared to $24,948,000 or $3.02 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in non-interest expense of $4,257,000 associated with staffing and general operating overhead increases to support the growth of our loan and deposit portfolios. The provision for credit losses increased compared to last year due to $2,200,000 in loan recoveries in 2024, resulting in a $1,620,000 credit loss provision reversal, compared to a provision of $805,000 in 2025. There was an increase of $4,581,000 in net interest income, as a result of earning asset growth. Non-interest income increased by $559,000 in 2025, mainly due to fair value changes on equity securities and life insurance death benefit gains.
We recorded net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $24,948,000 or $3.02 per diluted share compared to $30,848,000 or $3.75 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease of $5,768,000 in net interest income, as a result of an increase in deposit interest expense. Non-interest income decreased by $76,000 in 2024, mainly due to fair value changes on equity securities and decreased NSF fee income. The provision for credit losses decreased compared to last year due to $2.2 million in loan recoveries in 2024, resulting in a $1,620,000 credit loss provision reversal. Non-interest expense increased by $4,860,000 associated with staffing and general operating overhead increases to support the growth of our loan and deposit portfolios.
Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between interest and fees derived from earning assets and interest paid on liabilities obtained to fund those assets. Our net interest income is affected by changes in the level and mix of interest-earning assets and interest- bearinginterest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume changes. Our net interest income is also affected by changes in the yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities, referred to as rate changes. Interest rates charged on our loans are affected principally by the demand for such loans, the supply of money available for lending purposes and competitive factors. Those factors are, in turn, affected by general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control, such as federal economic policies, the general supply of money in the economy, legislative tax policies, governmental budgetary matters, and the actions of the Federal Reserve Board.
Net interest income, on a fully tax equivalent basis (“FTE”), decreasedincreased $6,278,000$4,556,000 or 8.0%6.3% to $72,064,000$76,620,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, compared to $78,342,000$72,064,000 in 2023.2024. Net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.68% and 4.13%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 3.60% and 4.07%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 4.14% and 4.33%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. This downwardupward trend is mainly due to an increase in the yield of our loan portfolio, and a slight reduction in our deposit interest expense that was necessary to remain competitive with peer banks, preserve liquidity, and continue to grow the balance sheet. The FOMC rate hikes that began in March 2022 resulted in an immediate increase in earning asset yields, but deposit rates experienced a lag effect and did not increase until 2023 and into 2024.rates.
The cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities increaseddecreased to 1.16% in 2025 compared to 1.20% in 2024 compared to 0.46% in 2023 as a result of the competitivelower environmentinterest andrate customerenvironment. demandOur forcost higherof rates.funds is below the peer average, but remains competitive. Promotional rates on money market accounts and higher time-deposit rate offerings wereare utilized strategically to retain deposit relationships,relationships and develop new business, which contributed to the deposit growth of $45.2 million$97,272,000 during 2024.2025.
Our earning asset yield increased 204 basis points in 20242025 compared to 20232024 despite the FOMC cutting the federal funds target rate from a range of 5.25%4.25% to 5.50%4.50% at the beginning of 2024,2025, to a range of 4.25%3.50% to 4.50%3.75% by the end of the year. The FOMC rate hikes in 2022 and 2023 continued to have a positive impact on rates of loans that repriced during 2024.2025. The yield on loans recognized an increase of 3324 basis points for 20242025 as compared to 2023,2024, due to the upward repricing of variable rate loans and higher rate indexes on new loans. Growth in average gross loans of $108.9 million,$46,652,000, also contributed to net interest margin expansion.
The net interest margin compressionexpansion in 2024,2025, is due to the factors discussed above andbut could worsen if rate indexes on assets were to fall, and/or: 1) deposit interest rates continue to increase due to customer demand, or competitive pressure from peer banks, 2) competition in the lending market restrict significant increases in new loan rates, and 3) deposit growth out-paces loan growth, resulting in higher interest-bearing cash balances, which would offer lower yields than loans and investments depending on the Federal Funds rate as determined by the FOMC.
Changes in volume resulted in decreasean increase in net interest income (on a FTE basis) of $2,641,000$3,094,000 for the year of 20242025 compared to the year 2023,2024, and changes in interest rates and the mix resulted in aan decreaseincrease in net interest income (on a FTE basis) of $3,637,000$1,462,000 for the year 20242025 versus the year 2023.2024. Management closely monitors both total net interest income and the net interest margin.
Market rates are in part based on the FOMC target Federal funds interest rate (the interest rate banks charge each other for short-term borrowings).rate. The change in the Federal funds sold rates is the result of target rate changes implemented by the FOMC. In 2020, the FOMC decreased the Federal funds rate by 0.50% and 1.00% on two occasions in March resulting in a range of 0.00% to 0.25% as of December 31, 2020 and 2021. In 2022, the FOMC raised the federal funds rate seven times by an aggregate of 4.00%. In 2023, the FOMC raised the Federal funds rate four times by 0.25% resulting in a range of 5.25% to 5.50%. In 2024, the FOMC cut the Federal funds rate three times by an aggregate of 1.00%, resulting in a range of 4.25% to 4.50%. In 2025, the FOMC cut the Federal funds rate three times by an aggregate of 0.75%, resulting in a range of 3.50% to 3.75%. If FOMC were to cut rates in 20252026 or thereafter, we expect this would have a negative impact on our net interest income, due to repricing of interest-bearing cash balances, existing loans and investment securities.
The Company recorded a reversal of provision for credit loss provision of $1,620,000$805,000, and a credit loss provision reversal of $970,000$1,620,000 during the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively. The 2025 credit loss provision is mainly due to loan growth and a specific reserve related to one collateral dependent loan that was individually evaluated for impairment. The 2024 provision reversal was mainly due to loan recoveries totaling $2.2 million,$2,184,000, which was offset in part by loan growth. The loan recoveries in 2024 were primarily from two loans from different borrowers recovered during third quarter of 2024 totaling $1,992,000. Each of the recovered loans date back to the recession period when collateral values were considerably depressed, and one of which was acquired in 2015 when we completed a bank acquisition. The loan recoveries initially increased the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”), which subsequently resulted in the reversal of $1,620,000.
Current and forecasted macro-economic conditions are closely evaluated among other inputs that our internal credit risk model utilizes to determine the appropriate credit loss allowance. The Company didhad notone havenonperforming anyloan as of December 31, 2025, a non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan with a balance of $4,587,000, compared to no nonperforming loans as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.2024. The allowance for credit losses was $11,460,000$12,381,000 and $10,896,000$11,460,000 as of December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, or 1.04%1.08% and 1.07%,1.04%, respectively, of total loans. The decreaseincrease as a percentage of total loans corresponds to the nonperforming loan described above, along with credit factors within the loan portfolio,portfolio and changes to the current and forecasted macro-economic factors that have been established as credit loss indicators within our model.

Noninterest income was $6,555,000$7,114,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, compared to $6,631,000$6,555,000 for the year 2023.2024. Service charge income decreasedincreased to $1,785,000 in 2025 compared to $1,682,000 in 2024 compared to $1,813,000 for 2023,2024, due to a change in the NSF fee schedule that resulted in a decline in NSF Fee income collected on deposit accounts, despite an increase in theoverdraft fee income related to a higher number of checking accounts. Debit card transaction fee income decreased to $1,738,000$1,673,000 in 20242025 as compared to $1,773,000$1,738,000 in 2023,2024, due to debit card network costs that are included in the net revenue received by the bank. Earnings on the cash surrender value of life insurance recognized an increase of $264,000$145,000 in 20242025 compared to 2023,2024, due to higher yields and three new life insurance policies purchased during the second quarter of 2024. Mortgage commissions have increased by $11,000$2,000 for the year 2024,2025, as compared to 2023,2024, a moderate upward trend but overall demand for home purchases and refinancing remains low due to cost of housing and high interest rates.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (“DFPI”) regulatory assessments increased by $70,000$30,000 in 20242025 over 2023,2024, mainly due to the increase in deposit balances. FDIC increased the base rate to 0.05%, on an annual basis, for all member banks in order to build up the Deposit Insurance Fund. The FDIC adopted a final rule in June 2022, applicable to all insured depository institutions, to increase initial base deposit insurance assessment rate schedules uniformly by 2 basis points, beginning in the first quarterly assessment period of 2023. The final rule became effective as of January 1, 2023, with an invoice payment date of June 30, 2023. The FDIC said that the increase in assessment rate schedules is intended to increase the likelihood that the reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance fund reaches the statutory minimum of 1.35 percent by the statutory deadline of September 30, 2028. The final assessment rate for financial institutions is determined by making adjustments to the base rate for various credit quality factors and other risk metrics of the institution as defined by the FDIC. The Company’s risk profile and the related assessment rate remains at a relatively low level due to our strong credit quality, earnings and risk-based capital ratios. Management recognizes that assessments could increase further depending on deposit growth throughout the remainder of 2025,2026, as the FDIC assessment rates are applied to average quarterly total liabilities as the primary basis, and based on FDIC’s discretion to increase the base assessment rate as needed to replenish the Deposit Insurance Fund. Moreover, the FDIC retains the authority and discretion to increase base assessment rates for banking entities in the future, as circumstances warrant.
Other operating expenses increased by $2,105,000$1,679,000 in 20242025 as compared to 2023,2024, primarily due to an increase in advertising expenses from a direct-mail campaign launched in 2024 targeting consumer deposit accounts, and various general operating expense increases required to support our growing business portfolios and compliance mandates. Some of these included auditlegal expenses, software license fees and charitable contributions.

Construction and land loans are classified as commercial real estate loans and decreasedincreased $45.2$30.2 million in 20242025 as compared to 2023, mainly due to the completion of construction on existing projects that converted to permanent financing during 2024. The table below shows an analysis of construction and land loans by type and location. Non-owner-occupied land loans of $5.6$4.8 million as of December 31, 20242025 included loans for land specified for commercial development of $3.9 million and for residential development of $1.7$1.0 million, the majority of which are located in Stanislaus County.
The majority of the properties taken as collateral are located in Northern California. We employ strict guidelines regarding the use of collateral located in less familiar market areas. Positive trends in Northern California real estate values, the low loan-to-value ratios in our commercial real estate portfolio, and the highsignificant percentage of owner-occupied properties further solidify our credit quality position.
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due, unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. The past due loans may or may not be adequately collateralized, but collection efforts are continuously pursued. Loans may be restructured by management when a borrower has experienced some changes in financial status, causing an inability to meet the original repayment terms, and where we believe the borrower will eventually overcome those circumstances and repay the loan in full. OREO consists of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means and which management intends to offer for sale. The Company didhad notone havenon-owner anyoccupied commercial real estate loan with a balance of $4,587,000 classified as a nonperforming loan as of December 31, 2025, as compared to no nonperforming loans as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.2024.
The Company held no OREO properties as of December 31, 20242025 and 2023.2024. Accordingly, the Company had zero non-performing assets of $4,587,000 and $0 recorded on the balance sheet as of December 31, 20242025 and 2023.2024, respectively.
The allowance for credit losses increased to $11,460,000$12,381,000 as of December 31, 2024,2025, as compared with $10,896,000$11,460,000 at December 31, 2023.2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans decreasedincreased to 1.08% as of December 31, 2025, as compared to 1.04% as of December 31, 2024, as compared to 1.07% as of December 31, 2023, due to changes in the macro-economic indicators and qualitative factors used within our CECL model. Based on the current conditions of the loan portfolio, management believes that the $11,460,000$12,381,000 allowance for credit losses at December 31, 20242025 is adequate to absorb losses inherent in our loan portfolio. No assurance can be given, however, that adverse economic conditions or other circumstances will not result in increased losses in the portfolio.
Diversification, low loan-to-values, strong credit quality and enhanced credit monitoring contribute to a reduction in the portfolio’s overall risk in recent years and help to offset the various inherent credit risks. We continue to monitor the impact of the economic environment, and adjustments to the provision for credit loss will be made accordingly. During 2024,2025, the Company recognized net loan recoveriescharge-offs of $2,184,000$65,000, as compared to $112,000net loan recoveries of $2,184,000 in 2023.2024.

The income statement components of these variances are as follows:
Net interest income is the largest source of the Company’s operating income. For the three-monththree periodand six-month periods ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, net interest income was $18,824,000,$18,944,000 and $37,768,000, respectively, which represents an increaseincreases of $1,017,000,$790,000 and $1,807,000, from the comparable periodperiods in 2025. The increase was due to growth of earning assets and upward repricing of our loan yield in spite of short-term rate cuts by the FOMC during 2025.

The FDIC base rate remained at 0.05%, on an annual basis, for both periods, which is the lowest possible assessment rate for comparable banks. The Company’s risk profile and the related assessment rate remains at a relatively low level due to our strong credit quality, earnings and risk-based capital ratios. Management recognizes that assessments could increase further depending on deposit growth throughout the remainder of 2026, as the FDIC assessment rates are applied to average quarterly total liabilities as the primary basis, and based on FDIC’s discretion to increase the base assessment rate as needed to replenish the Deposit Insurance Fund. Moreover, the FDIC retains the authority and discretion to increase base assessment rates for banking entities in the future, as circumstances warrant.

The FDIC base rate remained at 0.05%, on an annual basis, for both periods, which is the lowest possible assessment rate for comparable banks. The Company’s risk profile and the related assessment rate remains at a relatively low level due to our strong credit quality, earnings and risk-based capital ratios. Management recognizes that assessments could increase further depending on deposit growth throughout the remainder of 2026, as the FDIC assessment rates are applied to average quarterly total liabilities as the primary basis, and based on FDIC’s discretion to increase the base assessment rate as needed to replenish the Deposit Insurance Fund. Moreover, the FDIC retains the authority and discretion to increase base assessment rates for banking entities in the future, as circumstances warrant.
Other expense decreased by $115,000 and $136,000 for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2025, mainly due to a decrease in audit expenses.
The Company recorded provisions for income taxes of $1,497,000$1,317,000 and $2,814,000 for the three-monthsthree and six-months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, respectively, representing a decreasedecreases of $2,000,$264,000 and $266,000, compared to the provisions recorded in the comparable periodperiods of 2025.

These provisions reflect accruals for taxes at the applicable rates for federal income tax and California franchise tax based upon reported pre-tax income, and adjusted for the effects of all permanent differences between income for tax and financial reporting purposes (such as earnings on qualified municipal securities, bank owned life insurance and certain tax-exempt loans). The disparity between the effective tax rates for the year-to-date period of 2026 as compared to 2025 is primarily due to tax credits from low-income housing projects as well as tax-free income on municipal securities and loans that comprised a larger proportion of pre-tax income in 2026 as compared to 2025.
Non-accrual loans totaled $4,574,000$50,000 as of MarchJune 31,30, 20262026, andconsisting of one home equity line of credit loan, as compared to $4,587,000 as of December 31, 2025, consisting of one non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan.

At MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no loan modifications pursuant to ASU 2022-02, and therefore there were no payment delinquencies on modified loans during the three-monthsthree and six-months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 andthere was one OREO property with a balance of $2,581,000, as compared to no OREO properties owned as of December 31, 2025,2025. there were noThe OREO properties.property Thereowned as of June 30, 2026 is a commercial real estate property that was acquired during the second quarter of 2026 through a foreclosure. Except for the acquisition of that property, there were no sales, acquisitions or fair value adjustments of OREO properties during the three-monthsthree and six-months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025.
The following table presents information about the Bank’s non-performing assets, including asset quality ratios as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
Non-performing assets were $4,574,000 and $4,587,000 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, consisting of the one non-accrual loan discussed above.
Due to credit risk inherent in the lending business, the Company routinely sets aside allowances through charges to earnings. Such charges are not only made for the outstanding loan portfolio, but also for off-balance sheet items, such as commitments to extend credits or letters of credit. Charges for the outstanding loan portfolio have been credited to the allowance for credit losses, whereas charges for off-balance sheet items have been credited to the reserve for off-balance sheet items, which is presented as a component of other liabilities. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $539,000$15,000 and $554,000 during the three-monthsthree and six-months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, respectively, as compared to no provisions during the same periodperiods of 2025. The provision of $539,000provisions recorded in the first quarter ofduring 2026 waswere primarily related to the specific allowance of the onecommercial real estate non-accrual loan that iswas individually evaluated, in addition to loan growth and qualitative risk factors within our credit risk model. The Company recorded a reversal of provisionsprovision for off balance sheet items of $75,000$6,000 and a reversal of $69,000 during the three-monthsthree and six-months ended MarchJune 31,30, 20262026, respectively, due to anormal decreasefluctuations in the unfunded loan commitments, as compared to a provisionprovisions of $274,000$245,000 and $519,000 during the same periodperiods of 2025.
The allowance for credit losses increaseddecreased by $529,000$1,209,000 to $12,910,000$11,172,000 as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, as compared to $12,381,000 as of December 31, 2025, due to the charge-offs of $1,769,000 and the offsetting provision for credit losses of $539,000$554,000 during the first threesix months of 2026. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans increaseddecreased to 1.13%0.96% as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 as compared to 1.08% as of December 31, 2025.2025, due to the charge-offs of $1,769,000.
Although management believes the allowance as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 was adequate to absorb expected credit losses from any known and inherent risks in the portfolio, no assurance can be given that the adverse effect of current and future economic conditions on the Company’s service areas, or other variables, will not result in increased losses in the loan portfolio in the future.
The Company holds federal funds sold, unpledged available-for-sale securities and salable government guaranteed loans to help meet liquidity requirements and provide temporary holdings until the funds can be otherwise deployed or invested. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company had $201,603,000$194,803,000 and $232,179,000, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents.
Management of the investment securities portfolio focuses on providing an adequate level of liquidity and establishing an interest rate-sensitive position, while earning an adequate level of investment income without taking undue risk. Investment securities that the Company intends to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities, and all other investment securities are classified as available-for-sale or equity securities. Currently, all of the investment securities are classified as available-for-sale except for one mutual fund classified as an equity security with a carrying value of $3,434,000$3,449,000 as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. The carrying values of available-for-sale investment securities are adjusted for unrealized gains or losses as a valuation allowance and any gain or loss is reported on an after-tax basis as a component of other comprehensive income. The carrying values of equity securities are adjusted for unrealized gains or losses through noninterest income in the consolidated statement of income.
The unrealized losses are due primarily to rising market yields and not due to credit deterioration. As such, no ACL on available-for-sale securities has been established as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. The Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the securities before the earlier of the forecasted recovery or the maturity of the underlying investment security.
During 2018 and 2022, we committed to invest $5,000,000 and $10,500,000, respectively, in low-income housing tax credit funds (“LIHTC”) to promote our participation in CRA activities. During the three-months ended March 31, 2025, we committed an additional $5,000,000 that included a housing project in our local area that qualified for CRA credit. Unfunded commitments on the LIHTC funds were $4,394,000 and $4,598,000 as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. For LIHTC investments, we receive the return in the form of tax credits and tax deductions over a period of approximately 15 years.
Total deposits as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 were $1,780,996,000,$1,763,551,000, a decrease of $11,966,000,$29,411,000, or 0.7%,1.6%, from the deposit total of $1,792,962,000 as of December 31, 2025. Average deposits increased by $79,300,000$65,345,000 to $1,772,430,000$1,760,153,000 for the three-monthsix-month period ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025.
Because the Company’s client base is comprised primarily of commercial and industrial accounts, individual account balances are generally higher than those of consumer-oriented banks. FourThree clients carry deposit balances of more than 1% of total deposits, one of which had a deposit balance of more than 3% of total deposits as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. Management believes that the Company’s funding concentration risk is not significant and is mitigated by the ample sources of funds the Bank has access to.
Since the deposit growth strategy emphasizes core deposit growth, the Company has avoided relying on brokered deposits as a consistent source of funds. The Company had no brokered deposits as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Although deposits are the primary source of funds for lending and investment activities and for general business purposes, the Company may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) as an alternative to retail deposit funds. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding FHLB advances or borrowings of any kind, as the Company continues to rely on deposit growth as its primary source of funding. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for the details on the FHLB borrowings program.
Capital Resources and Capital Adequacy Requirements
In the past two years, our primary source of capital has been internally generated operating income through retained earnings. At June 30, 2026, total shareholders’ equity increased to $217.0 million, representing an increase of $9.0 million from December 31, 2025. The increase was due to net income of $10.4 million recorded to retained earnings, and other comprehensive income of $1.1 million, net of income taxes, due to the positive impact of the unrealized market value adjustment of our available-for-sale investment portfolio. Also, retained earnings was reduced by the common stock dividend payments totaling $3.1 million during the first six months of 2026. As of June 30, 2026, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures.
Capital Ratios
The Company is regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) and is subject to the securities registration and public reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a California state-chartered bank, the Company’s banking subsidiary is subject to primary supervision, examination and regulation by the DFPI and the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board is the primary federal regulator of state-member banks. The Bank is also subject to regulation by the FDIC, which insures the Bank’s deposits as permitted by law. Management continues to monitor the implementation of Pub. L. No. 119-21, or the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, to determine implications for the Company, but is not currently aware of any recommendations of regulatory authorities or otherwise which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on the Company’s or Bank’s liquidity, capital resources, or operations.
The U.S. Basel III rules contain capital standards regarding the composition of capital, minimum capital ratios and counter-party credit risk capital requirements. The Basel III rules also include a definition of common equity Tier 1 capital and require that certain levels of such common equity Tier 1 capital be maintained. The rules also include a capital conservation buffer, which imposes a common equity requirement above the new minimum that can be depleted under stress and could result in restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses under certain circumstances, as well as a new standardized approach for calculating risk-weighted assets. Under the Basel III rules, we must maintain a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6%, a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8% and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. In addition to the preceding requirements, all financial institutions subject to the Rules, including the Bank, are required to establish a "conservation buffer," consisting of common equity Tier 1 capital, which is at least 2.5% above each of the preceding common equity Tier 1 capital ratio, the Tier 1 risk-based ratio and the total risk-based ratio. An institution that does not meet the conservation buffer will be subject to restrictions on certain activities including payment of dividends, stock repurchases and discretionary bonuses to executive officers.
We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger regulatory actions that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’sour financial statements and operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bankwe must meet specific capital guidelines that rely on the quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. TheOur Bank’scapital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. (See “Description of Business-Regulation and Supervision-Capital Adequacy Requirements” in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for exact definitions and regulatory capital requirements.)
As of June 30, 2026, we were qualified as a “well capitalized institution” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. For more information on our capital resources and capital adequacy requirements, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.
The U.S. Basel III minimum capital ratios do not apply to the Company because it has less than $3 billion in total assets and therefore qualifies as a small bank holding company. The minimum capital ratios apply only to the Bank.
The following tables present a comparison of our actual capital ratios to the minimum required ratios as of the dates indicated:
Proposed rules for U.S. implementation of capital requirements under Basel IV rules, commonly referred to as the “Basel III Endgame”, were initially issued by the U.S. federal banking agencies on July 27, 2023, but such proposed rules were met with strong objections from the banking industry. As a result, on March 19, 2026, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, (the “OCC”), FDIC and the Federal Reserve rescinded the Basel III Endgame 2023 proposal and concurrently issued three revised notices of proposed rulemaking. The three proposals include (i) a revised Basel III Endgame proposal that would apply an expanded risk-based approach to Category I and Category II banking organizations, thus narrowing the mandatory scope from the 2023 proposal, with all other banking organizations permitted to opt in; (ii) a revised standardized approach proposal that would reduce risk weights for traditional lending activities for banking organizations not subject to the expanded risk-based approach; and (iii) a revised capital surcharge proposal for globally systemically important bank holding companies. The OCC, FDIC and the Federal Reserve estimate that the revised proposals would decrease aggregate common equity tier 1 capital requirements by approximately 4.8% for Category I and Category II banking organizations, in contrast to the significant capital increases that would have resulted under the Basel III Endgame 2023 proposal. Additionally, the revised proposal would eliminate the requirement to deduct mortgage servicing assets from common equity tier 1 capital, instead assigning a 250% risk weight, which is designed to promote mortgage origination and servicing by banking organizations. The Federal Reserve voted 6-to-1 to advance all three proposals and the FDIC board voted unanimously in favor of the revised Basel III Endgame and standardized approach proposals. The public comment period for the revised proposals is scheduled to closeclosed on June 18, 2026. As of the date of this report, the federal banking agencies are reviewing the comments received, and no final rules have been adopted. Accordingly, the ultimate form, scope, timing, and impact of the revised capital framework remain uncertain.
The following table summarizes short- and long-term material cash requirements as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. Management expects to fund these obligations through cash generated from operations and other available sources of funds:
