    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
     
    POLICIES
    Overview

    Inc.,
     
    a Florida corporation
     
    incorporated in 2021,

    holding company with
     
    one direct

    U.S. Century Bank (the “Bank”), together referred to as “the Company”.
     
    The Bank, established in
    2002, is a Florida state-chartered,
     
    non-member financial institution providing
     
    financial services through its

    owns a
     
    subsidiary,
     
    Florida Peninsula
     
    Title LLC,
     
    that offers
     
    our clients
     
    title insurance
     
    policies for

    Florida Peninsula Title LLC began operations
     
    in 2021.
    Basis of Presentation
    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to
    Form 10-Q and
     
    do not include all
     
    the information and
     
    footnotes required by U.S.
     
    generally accepted accounting
     
    principles
    (“U.S.
     
    GAAP”)
     
    for
     
    complete
     
    financial
     
    statements.
     
    All
     
    adjustments
     
    consisting
     
    of
     
    normally
     
    recurring
     
    accruals
     
    that,
     
    in
     
    the
    opinion
     
    of
     
    management,
     
    are
     
    necessary
     
    for
     
    a
     
    fair
     
    presentation
     
    of
     
    the
     
    financial
     
    position
     
    and
     
    results
     
    of
     
    operations
     
    for
     
    the
    periods presented
     
    have been
     
    included. These
     
    unaudited consolidated
     
    financial statements
     
    should be
     
    read in
     
    conjunction
    with
     
    the
     
    Company’s
     
    consolidated
     
    financial
     
    statements
     
    and
     
    related
     
    notes
     
    appearing
     
    in the
     
    Company’s
     
    Annual
     
    Report
     
    on
    Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
    Principles of Consolidation
    The
     
    Company
     
    consolidates
     
    entities
     
    in
     
    which
     
    it
     
    has
     
    a
     
    controlling
     
    financial
     
    interest.
     
    Intercompany
     
    transactions
     
    and
    balances are eliminated in consolidation.
     
    Use of Estimates
    To prepare
     
    financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP,
     
    management makes estimates and assumptions based
    on available
     
    information. These
     
    estimates and
     
    assumptions affect
     
    the amounts
     
    reported in
     
    the financial
     
    statements. The
    most significant
     
    estimates impacting
     
    the Company’s
     
    consolidated financial
     
    statements are
     
    the allowance
     
    for credit
     
    losses
    (“ACL”) and income taxes.
    Reclassifications
    Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform
     
    to the current presentation.
    Reclassifications had no impact on the net income or stockholders’
     
    equity of the Company.
     
    Recently Issued Accounting Standards
    Adoption of New Accounting Standards
    Reference Rate Reform
    In
     
    March
     
    2020,
     
    the
     
    Financial
     
    Accounting
     
    Standards
     
    Board
     
    (“FASB”)
     
    issued
     
    ASU
     
    2020-04,
     
    Reference
     
    Rate
     
    Reform
    (Topic
     
    848), aiming to facilitate the impacts
     
    of reference rate reform on financial reporting.
     
    This initiative was subsequently
    clarified
     
    in
     
    January
     
    2021
     
    through
     
    ASU
     
    2021-01,
     
    providing
     
    optional
     
    directives
     
    for
     
    a
     
    designated
     
    timeframe
     
    to
     
    alleviate
    challenges
     
    associated
     
    with
     
    accounting
     
    for,
     
    or acknowledging
     
    the
     
    effects
     
    of, reference
     
    rate reform
     
    on financial
     
    reporting.
    These
     
    amendments
     
    offer
     
    discretionary
     
    guidance
     
    for
     
    a
     
    defined
     
    period
     
    to
     
    alleviate
     
    potential
     
    accounting
     
    complexities
    associated with reference rate reform in financial reporting. The
     
    expedients and exceptions provided by these amendments
    are not
     
    applicable to
     
    contract modifications
     
    executed and
     
    hedging relationships
     
    initiated or
     
    reviewed after
     
    December 31,
    2022, except
     
    for
     
    pre-existing
     
    hedging
     
    relationships
     
    as
     
    of December
     
    31,
     
    2022,
     
    for
     
    which
     
    an
     
    entity
     
    has
     
    opted
     
    for
     
    specific
    optional expedients, and which
     
    are retained until the conclusion
     
    of the hedging relationship.
     
    Additionally,
     
    the amendments
    permit entities to make a one-time choice to divest, transfer,
     
    or both divest and transfer debt securities categorized as held
    to maturity, referencing a rate impacted by reference rate reform,
     
    and classified as held to maturity
     
    prior to January 1, 2020.
    In December 2022, the
     
    FASB issued new guidance extending the
     
    expiration date of this
     
    guidance from December 31,
     
    2022,
    to December
     
    31, 2024,
     
    after which
     
    entities will
     
    no longer
     
    be authorized
     
    to apply
     
    the relief
     
    provided under
     
    this guidance.

    LIBOR. The
     
    Company has

    has not yet
     
    concluded whether the

    INVESTMENT SECURITIES
     
    The measurement of expected credit losses under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology is applicable
    to
     
    financial
     
    assets
     
    measured
     
    at
     
    amortized
     
    cost,
     
    including
     
    loan
     
    receivables
     
    and
     
    held-to-maturity
     
    debt
     
    securities.
     
    The
    accounting
     
    for available-for-sale
     
    debt securities
     
    credit
     
    losses is
     
    presented
     
    as an
     
    allowance rather
     
    than
     
    as a
     
    write-down.
    Management does not intend to sell or believes that
     
    it is more likely they will not be required to sell AFS
     
    securities.
    CECL requires a loss reserve for
     
    securities classified as held-to-maturity
     
    (“HTM”). The reserve should reflect
     
    historical
    credit performance
     
    as well
     
    as the
     
    impact of
     
    projected
     
    economic forecast.
     
    For U.S.
     
    Government bonds
     
    and
     
    U.S. Agency
    issued bonds
     
    classified as
     
    HTM, the
     
    explicit guarantee
     
    of the U.S.
     
    Government is
     
    sufficient to
     
    conclude that
     
    a credit
     
    loss
    reserve is not required.
     
    The reserve requirement is for three primary assets groups: municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and
    non-agency
     
    securitizations.
     
    The Company
     
    calculates
     
    quarterly
     
    the loss
     
    reserve
     
    utilizing Moody’s
     
    ImpairmentStudio.
     
    The
    CECL measurement for
     
    investment securities
     
    incorporates historical
     
    data, containing
     
    defaults and recoveries
     
    information,
    and Moody’s baseline
     
    economic forecast. The solution
     
    uses probability of default/loss
     
    given default (“PD/LGD”)
     
    approach.
    PD represents
     
    the likelihood
     
    a borrower
     
    will default.
     
    Within the
     
    Moody’s model
     
    ,
     
    this is
     
    determined using
     
    historical default
    data, adjusted for the current economic environment. LGD projects
     
    the expected loss if a borrower were to default.
    The Company monitors
     
    the credit
     
    quality of held
     
    to maturity
     
    securities through
     
    the use of
     
    credit ratings.
     
    Credit ratings
    are
     
    monitored
     
    by
     
    the
     
    Company
     
    on
     
    at
     
    least
     
    a
     
    quarterly
     
    basis.
     
    As
     
    of
     
    March
     
    31,
     
    2024
     
    and
     
    December
     
    31,
     
    2023,
     
    all

    determined each quarter using the model described above. For

    thousand Allowance for
     
    credit losses (“ACL”)
     
    as of March
     
    31, 2024. The book
     
    value for debt securities
     
    classified as
    HTM represents amortized cost less ACL.
    The Company determined that an ACL on its debt securities available for sale as of March 31, 2024 and December 31,
    2023 was not required.

    The unrealized losses associated
     
    with $
    128.5
     
    million of investment securities
     
    transferred from the AFS
     
    portfolio to the
    HTM portfolio represent unrealized
     
    losses since the date of
     
    purchase, independent of the
     
    impact associated with changes
    in the cost basis of the securities upon transfer between portfolios.
    When evaluating
     
    AFS debt
     
    securities under
     
    ASC Topic
     
    326, the
     
    Company
     
    has evaluated
     
    whether the
     
    decline in
     
    fair
    value is
     
    attributed to
     
    credit losses
     
    or other
     
    factors like
     
    interest rate
     
    risk, using
     
    both quantitative
     
    and qualitative
     
    analyses,
    including
     
    company
     
    performance
     
    analysis,
     
    review
     
    of
     
    credit
     
    ratings,
     
    remaining
     
    payment
     
    terms,
     
    prepayment
     
    speeds
     
    and
    analysis of macro-economic conditions.
     
    Each investment is
     
    expected to recover its
     
    price depreciation over its
     
    holding period
    as it
     
    moves to
     
    maturity and
     
    the Company
     
    has the
     
    intent and
     
    ability to
     
    hold these
     
    securities to
     
    maturity if
     
    necessary.
     
    As a
    result of this evaluation, the Company concluded that
     
    no allowance was required on AFS securities.
    At
     
    March
     
    31,
     
    2024,
     
    the
     
    Company
     
    had
     
    $
    57.7
     
    million
     
    of
     
    unrealized
     
    losses
     
    on
     
    mortgage-backed
     
    securities
     
    and
    collateralized mortgage
     
    obligations of
     
    U.S. government
     
    sponsored entities
     
    having a
     
    fair value
     
    of $
    304.3
     
    million that
     
    were
    attributable to a combination of factors, including relative
     
    changes in interest rates since the time of purchase.
    At
     
    December
     
    31,
     
    2023,
     
    the
     
    Company
     
    had
     
    $
    54.9
     
    million
     
    of
     
    unrealized
     
    losses
     
    on
     
    mortgage
     
    backed
     
    securities
     
    and
    collateralized
     
    mortgage
     
    obligations
     
    of
     
    government
     
    sponsored
     
    entities
     
    having
     
    a
     
    fair
     
    value
     
    of
     
    $
    284.1
     
    million
     
    that
     
    were
    attributable to a combination of factors, including relative
     
    changes in interest rates since the time of purchase.
    The contractual
     
    cash
     
    flows
     
    for these
     
    securities
     
    are
     
    guaranteed
     
    by
     
    U.S.
     
    government
     
    agencies
     
    and
     
    U.S.
     
    government
    sponsored entities. The municipal bonds are of high credit quality and the declines in fair
     
    value are not due to credit quality.
    Based
     
    on
     
    the
     
    assessment
     
    of
     
    these
     
    mitigating
     
    factors,
     
    management
     
    believed
     
    that
     
    the
     
    unrealized
     
    losses
     
    on
     
    these
     
    debt
    security holdings are
     
    a function of
     
    changes in investment
     
    spreads and interest
     
    rate movements
     
    and not changes
     
    in credit
    quality. Management
     
    expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these
     
    securities.
    At March 31, 2024, the Company
     
    does not intend to sell
     
    debt securities that are in
     
    an unrealized loss position
     
    and it is
    more than likely not required to sell these securities before recovery
     
    of the amortized cost basis.
    The Company
     
    maintains a
     
    master repurchase
     
    agreement with
     
    a public
     
    banking institution
     
    for up
     
    to $
    20.0
     
    million fully
    guaranteed with investment
     
    securities upon withdrawal.
     
    Any amounts borrowed
     
    would be at a
     
    variable interest rate
     
    based
    on prevailing rates
     
    at the time
     
    funding is requested. As
     
    of March 31, 2024,
     
    the Company did
    no
    t have any
     
    securities pledged
    under this agreement.
    The Bank is a Qualified Public Depository
     
    (“QPD”) with the State of Florida. As a QPD, the Bank has the legal
     
    authority
    to

    State
     
    of
     
    Florida.
     
    These
     
    public

    State of
     
    Florida at
     
    a ratio
     
    of
    50
    % of
     
    the outstanding
     
    uninsured deposits
     
    for March
     
    31, 2024
     
    and
    25% for
     
    December 31,
     
    2023. The
     
    Bank must
     
    also maintain
     
    a minimum
     
    amount
     
    of pledged
     
    securities
     
    to be

    methodology to estimate the quantitative portion
     
    of the ACL for loan
     
    pools. The DCF uses a
     
    loss driver analysis (“LDA”) and
    discounted cash flow
     
    analyses. Management engaged
     
    advisors and consultants
     
    with expertise in

    At March 31, 2024, the
     
    ACL was $

    million compared to $

    million at December 31,
     
    2023. The increase of
     
    $

    of a $
    363
     
    thousand increase in
     
    the ACL for loan
     
    receivables due to
     
    loan growth and
     
    to net charge-
    offs.
     
    The Company had charge offs totaling $
    5
     
    thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 related to loans that were all
    originated in 2024.
    The Company had charge

    ended as of March

    The

    Market
     
    Committee
     
    (“FOMC”)
     
    economic
     
    forecasts
     
    as
     
    of
     
    March
     
    31,
     
    2024,
     
    showed
     
    moderate
    improvements in unemployment and a slower real GDP growth.
     
    Fannie Mae HPI forecast reflected important improvement
    in national housing prices over the next four quarters.
     
    The Company continued to adjust the HPI index effect on 1-4 Family
    loan portfolio with a qualitative
     
    factor because Florida
     
    housing prices are performing
     
    better than national levels.
     
    Q-Factors
    were reviewed and updated; maximum loss calculations are based on refreshed stress test and risk statuses
     
    were updated
    based on portfolio and external developments during the first
     
    quarter 2024.
     
    Our ACL
     
    included residential
     
    loans. To
     
    assess the
     
    potential impact
     
    of changes
     
    in qualitative
     
    factors related
     
    to these
    loans,
     
    management
     
    performed
     
    a sensitivity
     
    analysis.
     
    The Company
     
    evaluated
     
    the
     
    impact
     
    of the
     
    HPI
     
    used
     
    in calculating
    expected
     
    losses
     
    on
     
    the
     
    residential
     
    loan segment.
     
    As
     
    of March
     
    31,
     
    2024, for
     
    every
     
    100 basis
     
    points
     
    increase
     
    in
     
    the
     
    HPI
    index, the forecast reduces
     
    reserves by approximately $
    200
     
    thousand and about
    1
     
    basis point to
     
    the reserve coverage ratio,
    everything else being
     
    constant. This
     
    sensitivity analysis provides
     
    a hypothetical result
     
    to assess the
     
    sensitivity of the
     
    ACL
    and does not represent a change in management’s
     
    judgement.
     
    As of March 31, 2024, we
     
    stress tested two qualitative factors in our commercial real
     
    estate loan pool, as it’s the largest
    segment in
     
    our portfolio.
     
    We evaluated
     
    the impact
     
    of a
     
    change in
     
    the qualitative
     
    factors from
     
    no risk
     
    to maximum
     
    loss to
    measure the
     
    sensitivity of
     
    the qualitative
     
    factors. The
     
    change from
     
    no risk
     
    to high
     
    risk resulted
     
    in a
     
    $

    Credit Quality Indicators
    The Company grades loans based on the estimated capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligation of the
    loan agreement based
     
    on relevant information
     
    which may include:
     
    current financial information
     
    on the borrower,
     
    historical
    payment
     
    experience,
     
    credit
     
    documentation
     
    and
     
    other
     
    current
     
    economic
     
    trends.
     
    Internal
     
    credit
     
    risk
     
    grades
     
    are
     
    evaluated
    periodically.
     
    The Company's internally assigned credit risk grades are as follows:
    Pass
    – Loans indicate different levels of satisfactory
     
    financial condition and performance.
     
    Special Mention
     
    – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness
     
    that deserves management’s
    close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses
     
    may result in deterioration of the repayment
    prospects for the loan or of the institution’s
     
    credit position at some future date.
     
    Substandard
    – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected
     
    by the current net worth and paying
    capacity of the obligator or of the collateral pledged, if
     
    any. Loans so classified
     
    have a well-defined weakness or
    weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.
     
    They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the
    institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are
     
    not corrected.
     
    Doubtful
     
    – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent
     
    in those classified at substandard, with
    the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection
     
    or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing
    facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
     
    Loss
    – Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible.

    The Company

    expiring in various amounts between
     
    2031 and 2036 and which are
     
    limited to offset, to the
     
    extent permitted, future taxable
    earnings of the Company.
    In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
     
    whether it is more likely than not that some
    portion or
     
    all of
     
    the deferred
     
    tax assets
     
    will not
     
    be realized.
     
    The ultimate
     
    realization
     
    of deferred
     
    tax assets
     
    is dependent
    upon the generation of
     
    future taxable income
     
    during the periods
     
    in which those temporary
     
    differences become deductible.
    Management considers the scheduled reversal
     
    of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable
     
    income, and tax planning
    strategies in making this assessment.
    The major tax
     
    jurisdictions where the
     
    Company files income
     
    tax returns are
     
    the U.S. federal
     
    jurisdiction and
     
    the State
    of Florida. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax
    authorities for years before 2020.
    For the three months ended
     
    March 31, 2024 and 2023,
     
    the Company did
    no
    t have any unrecognized tax
     
    benefits as a
    result of
     
    tax positions
     
    taken during
     
    a prior
     
    period or
     
    during the

    OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
    The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to
    meet the financial
     
    needs of
     
    its customers
     
    and to reduce
     
    its own
     
    exposure to
     
    fluctuations in
     
    interest rates.
     
    These financial
    instruments include
     
    unfunded commitments
     
    under lines
     
    of credit,
     
    commitments to
     
    extend credit,
     
    standby and
     
    commercial
    letters of
     
    credit. Those
     
    instruments involve,
     
    to varying
     
    degrees, elements
     
    of credit
     
    and interest
     
    rate risk
     
    in excess
     
    of the
    amount recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company uses the
     
    same credit policies in making
    commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance
     
    sheet instruments.
    The Company's
     
    exposure to credit
     
    loss in the
     
    event of nonperformance
     
    by the other
     
    party to the
     
    financial instruments
    for unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit
     
    is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.

    no violation
     
    of any
     
    condition
    established in the contract. Commitments generally have
     
    fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.
    Unfunded lines of
     
    credit and revolving
     
    credit lines are
     
    commitments for possible
     
    future extensions
     
    of credit to
     
    existing
    customers. These lines of
     
    credit are uncollateralized and
     
    usually do not contain
     
    a specified maturity date
     
    and ultimately may
    not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company
     
    committed.

    the

    customer to
     
    a third
     
    party. Those letters of
     
    credit are
     
    primarily issued to
     
    support public and
     
    private borrowing
    arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit have fixed maturity dates and since
     
    many of them expire without being drawn
    upon, they do not generally present a significant liquidity
     
    risk to the Company.
    6.
     
    DERIVATIVES
     
    The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements
     
    as part of its asset-liability management strategy to help
     
    manage
    its interest rate
     
    risk exposure. The notional
     
    amount of the interest
     
    rate swaps does not
     
    represent actual amounts exchanged
    by the
     
    parties.
     
    The amounts
     
    exchanged
     
    are determined
     
    by reference
     
    to the
     
    notional amount
     
    and the
     
    other
     
    terms
     
    of the
    individual interest rate swap agreements.
     
    Interest Rate Swaps Designated as a Cash Flow Hedge
    As of March 31,
     
    2024, the Company
     
    had
    two
     
    interest rate swap
     
    agreements with a
     
    notional aggregate amount

    FAIR VALUE
     
    MEASUREMENTS
     
    Determination of Fair Value
    The Company
     
    uses
     
    fair value
     
    measurements
     
    to record
     
    fair-value
     
    adjustments
     
    to certain
     
    assets
     
    and liabilities
     
    and to
    determine fair value
     
    disclosures. In accordance
     
    with the fair
     
    value measurements
     
    accounting guidance, the
     
    fair value of
     
    a
    financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
    between market
     
    participants
     
    at the
     
    measurement
     
    date.
     
    Fair value
     
    is best
     
    determined based
     
    upon quoted
     
    market prices.
    However, in
     
    many instances, there
     
    are no quoted
     
    market prices for the
     
    Company's various financial
     
    instruments. In cases
    where quoted
     
    market prices
     
    are not
     
    available, fair
     
    values are
     
    based on
     
    estimates using
     
    present value
     
    or other
     
    valuation
    techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates
    of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in
     
    an immediate settlement of the instrument.
    The fair
     
    value guidance provides
     
    a consistent definition
     
    of fair
     
    value, which focuses
     
    on exit
     
    price in
     
    an orderly transaction
    (that is,
     
    not a
     
    forced
     
    liquidation
     
    or distressed
     
    sale) between
     
    market participants
     
    at the
     
    measurement
     
    date
     
    under current
    market conditions.
     
    If there
     
    has been
     
    a significant
     
    decrease
     
    in the
     
    volume

    depends on the facts

    requires the use of
     
    significant judgment. The fair
     
    value is a reasonable
     
    point
    within the range that is most representative of fair value under
     
    current market conditions.
    Fair Value Hierarchy
    In accordance with
     
    this guidance, the
     
    Company groups its
     
    financial assets
     
    and financial liabilities
     
    generally measured
    at fair
     
    value in
     
    three
     
    levels, based
     
    on the
     
    markets
     
    in which
     
    the assets
     
    and liabilities
     
    are traded,
     
    and the
     
    reliability
     
    of the
    assumptions used to determine fair value.
    Level 1
     
    - Valuation
     
    is based
     
    on quoted
     
    prices in
     
    active markets
     
    for identical
     
    assets or
     
    liabilities that
     
    the reporting
    entity has
     
    the ability
     
    to access
     
    at the measurement
     
    date. Level
     
    1 assets
     
    and liabilities
     
    generally include
     
    debt and
    equity securities that
     
    are traded in
     
    an active exchange
     
    market. Valuations are obtained from
     
    readily available pricing
    sources for market transactions involving identical assets
     
    or liabilities.
    Level 2
     
    - Valuation

    Items Measured at Fair Value
     
    on a Recurring Basis
    AFS investment securities:
     
    When instruments are traded in
     
    secondary markets and quoted market
     
    prices do not exist
    for such securities,
     
    management generally relies
     
    on prices obtained
     
    from independent vendors
     
    or third-party broker-dealers.
    Management reviews pricing methodologies provided by the vendors and third-party broker-dealers in order to determine if
    observable market information is being utilized. Securities measured with pricing provided by independent vendors or
     
    third-
    party broker-dealers
     
    are classified within
     
    Level 2 of
     
    the hierarchy and
     
    often involve using
     
    quoted market
     
    prices for similar
    securities, pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses
     
    utilizing inputs observable in the market where available.
    Derivatives:
     
    The
     
    fair
     
    value
     
    of
     
    derivatives
     
    are
     
    measured
     
    with
     
    pricing
     
    provided
     
    by
     
    third-party
     
    participants
     
    and
     
    are
    classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy.

    STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
    Common Stock
    In July
     
    2021, the
     
    Bank completed
     
    the initial
     
    public offering
     
    of its
     
    Class
     
    A common
     
    stock, in
     
    which it
     
    issued
     
    and sold
    4,600,000
     
    shares of Class A
     
    common stock at a
     
    price of $
    10.00
     
    per share. The Bank
     
    received total net proceeds
     
    of $
    40.0
    million after deducting underwriting discounts and expenses.
    In December 2021,
     
    the Company acquired
     
    all the issued
     
    and outstanding shares
     
    of the Class
     
    A common stock
     
    of the
    Bank, which at the time were
     
    the only issued and outstanding shares
     
    of the Bank’s capital stock,
     
    in a share exchange (the
    “Reorganization”)
     
    effected
     
    under
     
    the
     
    Florida
     
    Business

    Act.
     
    Each

    of
     
    the

    1.00

    formerly held
     
    by its
     
    Shareholders was
     
    converted into
     
    and exchanged
     
    for
    one
    newly
     
    issued

    and
     
    the
     
    Bank
     
    became
     
    the
    Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.
     
    In the
     
    Reorganization,
     
    each
     
    shareholder
     
    of the
     
    Bank
     
    received securities
     
    of
     
    the same
     
    class,
     
    having
     
    substantially
     
    the
    same designations,
     
    rights,
     
    powers, preferences,
     
    qualifications,
     
    limitations
     
    and restrictions,
     
    as those
     
    that the
     
    shareholder
    held in the Bank,
     
    and the Company’s
     
    then current shareholders
     
    owned the same
     
    percentages of the
     
    Company’s common
    stock as they previously owned of the Bank’s common
     
    stock.
    During the first quarter 2024, the Company issued
    52,753
     
    shares of Class A common stock to employees as restricted
    stock awards
     
    pursuant to
     
    the Company’s
     
    2015 equity
     
    incentive plan

    the Company
     
    issued
    121,627
     
    shares of Class A
     
    common stock to
     
    employees and directors as
     
    restricted stock awards pursuant
     
    to the Company’s
    2015 equity incentive plan.
     
    During the three months ended
     
    March 31, 2024, the Company
     
    repurchased
    7,100
     
    shares of Class A common stock at
    a weighted average price per share of $
    11.15
    . The aggregate purchase price for these transactions was approximately $
    79
    thousand,
     
    including
     
    transaction
     
    costs.
     
    These
     
    repurchases
     
    were
     
    made
     
    pursuant
     
    to
     
    the
     
    Company’s
     
    publicly
     
    announced
    repurchase program. As of March 31, 2024,
    72,980
     
    shares remained authorized for repurchase under this program. During
    the three months
     
    ended March 31,

    repurchased
    500,000
     
    shares of Class

    per share
     
    of $
    11.74
    . The
     
    aggregate purchase
     
    price for
     
    these transactions
     
    was approximately

    million,

    Dividends
    Declaration of dividends
     
    by the Board
     
    is required before
     
    dividend payments
     
    are made. The
     
    Company is
     
    limited in the
    amount of
     
    cash dividends
     
    that it
     
    may pay.
     
    Payment of
     
    dividends is
     
    generally limited
     
    to the
     
    Company’s
     
    net income
     
    of the
    current
     
    year
     
    combined
     
    with
     
    the
     
    Company’s
     
    retained
     
    income
     
    for
     
    the
     
    preceding
     
    two
     
    years,
     
    as
     
    defined
     
    by
     
    state
     
    banking
    regulations. However,
     
    for any
     
    dividend declaration,
     
    the Company
     
    must consider
     
    additional factors
     
    such as
     
    the amount
     
    of
    current period net income, liquidity,
     
    asset quality,
     
    capital adequacy and economic conditions
     
    at the Bank since the Bank is
    the primary source
     
    of funds to fund
     
    dividends by the Company.
     
    It is likely that
     
    these factors would
     
    further limit the
     
    amount
    of dividends which the
     
    Company could declare. In addition, bank
     
    regulators have the authority to prohibit
     
    banks from paying
    dividends if they deem such payment to be an unsafe
     
    or unsound practice.
    On January
     
    29,
     
    2024,
     
    the
     
    Company
     
    announced
     
    that
     
    its
     
    Board
     
    of Directors
     
    approved
     
    a cash
     
    dividend
     
    program.
     
    The
    quarterly dividend
     
    for the
     
    first quarter
     
    of 2024
     
    was $
    0.05
     
    per share
     
    of Class
     
    A common
     
    stock, paid
     
    on March
     
    5, 2024,
     
    to
    stockholders of record as of the close of business
     
    on February 15, 2024. Total amount paid to shareholders in dividends on
    February 15,
     
    2024 was
     
    $
    1.0
     
    million.
    No
     
    dividends were
     
    declared by
     
    the Board
     
    for the
     
    stockholders for
     
    the quarter
     
    ended
    March 31, 2023.

    EARNINGS PER SHARE
    Earnings
     
    per
     
    share
     
    (“EPS”)
     
    for
     
    common
     
    stock
     
    is
     
    calculated
     
    using
     
    the
     
    two-class
     
    method
     
    required
     
    for
     
    participating
    securities. Basic EPS
     
    is calculated by
     
    dividing net income
     
    (loss) available to
     
    common shareholders by
     
    the weighted-average
    number of common shares outstanding for
     
    the period, without consideration for common
     
    stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is
    computed by
     
    dividing net
     
    income (loss)
     
    available to
     
    common share
     
    holders by
     
    the weighted
     
    -average
     
    number of
     
    common
    shares outstanding for
     
    the period and
     
    the weighted-average number
     
    of dilutive common
     
    stock equivalents outstanding
     
    for
    the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For
     
    purposes of this calculation, common stock equivalents
     
    include
    common stock options and are only included in the calculation
     
    of diluted EPS when their effect is dilutive.

    for the
     
    three
     
    months
    ended March 31,
     
    2024 compared
     
    to $5.8
     
    million or
     
    $0.29 per
     
    diluted share
     
    of common
     
    stock for
     
    the three
     
    months ended
    March 31, 2023.
     
    On January 29, 2024, the Company’s Board of
     
    Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per
     
    share of the Company’s
    Class A
     
    common
     
    stock.
     
    The
     
    Dividend
     
    was
     
    declared
     
    in
     
    conjunction
     
    with
     
    the
     
    adoption
     
    of
     
    a
     
    cash
     
    dividend
     
    program.
     
    The
    dividend was paid
     
    on March 5,
     
    2024 to shareholders
     
    of record at
     
    the close of
     
    business on February
     
    15, 2023. The
     
    aggregate
    amount distributed in
     
    connection with this
     
    dividend was $1.0
     
    million. Additionally,
     
    the Company’s Board
     
    of Directors declared
    a cash dividend of $0.05 per share of the Company’s Class
     
    A common stock on
     
    April 22, 2024. The dividend will be paid on
    June 5, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of
     
    business on May 15, 2024.
    7,100 shares of
     
    Class A common stock were repurchased
     
    at a weighted
     
    average price per
     
    share of $11.15
     
    during the
    first quarter 2024. These repurchases were made
     
    pursuant to the Company’s publicly
     
    announced repurchase program. As
    of March 31, 2024, 72,980 shares remained authorized
     
    for repurchase under this program.
    On April 22, 2024, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase
     
    program of up to 500,000 shares of Class
    A common
     
    stock
     
    or
     
    approximately
     
    2.5%
     
    of
     
    the
     
    Company’s
     
    issued
     
    and
     
    outstanding
     
    shares
     
    of
     
    common
     
    stock.
     
    Under
     
    the
    repurchase program,
     
    the Company
     
    may purchase
     
    shares of
     
    Class A common stock
     
    on a discretionary
     
    basis from
     
    time to
    time through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other means. The repurchase program has no
    expiration date and may
     
    be modified, suspended,
     
    or terminated at any
     
    time. The new repurchase
     
    program will commence
    upon
     
    completion
     
    of
     
    the
     
    current
     
    repurchase
     
    program.
     
    Repurchases
     
    under
     
    the
     
    new
     
    program
     
    will
     
    be
     
    funded
     
    from
     
    the
    Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents or future
     
    cash flow. As of April 22, 2024, 572,980 shares remain authorized
    for repurchase under the Company’s share repurchase
     
    programs.
    In evaluating our financial
     
    performance, the Company
     
    considers the level of
     
    and trends in net
     
    interest income, the
     
    net
    interest margin, the cost of deposits, levels
     
    and composition of non-interest income and non-interest expense, performance
    ratios, asset quality ratios, regulatory capital ratios, and any
     
    significant event or transaction.

    most
     
    significant
     
    of
    which
     
    are

    Company’s

    Form
     
    10-K
     
    and
    “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Part I
     
    in this Form 10-Q . To prepare financial statements in conformity with
    US GAAP,
     
    management makes estimates, assumptions,
     
    and judgments based on available information.
     
    These estimates,
    assumptions,
     
    and
     
    judgments
     
    affect
     
    the
     
    amounts
     
    reported
     
    in
     
    the
     
    financial
     
    statements
     
    and
     
    accompanying
     
    notes.
     
    These
    estimates, assumptions,
     
    and judgments are
     
    based on information
     
    available as of the
     
    date of the financial
     
    statements and,
    as
     
    this
     
    information
     
    changes,
     
    actual
     
    results
     
    could
     
    differ
     
    from
     
    the
     
    estimates,
     
    assumptions
     
    and
     
    judgments
     
    reflected
     
    in
     
    the
    financial statements. In
     
    particular,
     
    management has identified
     
    accounting policies that,
     
    due to the
     
    estimates, assumptions
    and
     
    judgments
     
    inherent
     
    in
     
    those
     
    policies,
     
    are
     
    critical
     
    to
     
    an
     
    understanding
     
    of
     
    our
     
    financial
     
    statements.
     
    Management
     
    has
    presented the application of these policies to the Audit
     
    and Risk Committee of our Board of Directors.
     
    Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    This Form 10-Q
     
    includes financial information determined by
     
    methods other than in
     
    accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles (“GAAP”). This financial information
     
    includes certain operating performance measures.
     
    Management
    has included these non-GAAP measures because it believes these
     
    measures may provide useful supplemental information
    for evaluating the Company’s underlying performance trends. Further, management uses these measures in
     
    managing and
    evaluating
     
    the
     
    Company’s
     
    business
     
    and
     
    intends
     
    to
     
    refer

    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. To the extent applicable, reconciliations of these
     
    non-GAAP measures to the most
     
    directly comparable
    GAAP
     
    measures
     
    can

    The Company’s
     
    results
     
    of
     
    operations
     
    depend
     
    substantially
     
    on
     
    the
     
    levels
     
    of
     
    our
     
    net
     
    interest
     
    income
     
    and
     
    non-interest
    income. Other factors contributing
     
    to the results of
     
    operations include our provision for
     
    credit losses, the level
     
    of non-interest
    expense, and the provision for income taxes.
    Three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three
     
    months ended March 31, 2023
     
    During the
     
    three months
     
    ended March
     
    31,
     
    2024, total
     
    interest
     
    income
     
    increased
     
    $8.5
     
    million compared
     
    to the
     
    same
    period in
     
    2023. However,
     
    this positive
     
    trend was
     
    offset by
     
    a $9.3
     
    million increase
     
    in total
     
    interest expense
     
    due to
     
    higher
    weighted average deposit
     
    costs
     
    and borrowing costs.
     
    Consequently, net income
     
    decreased $1.2 million
     
    to $4.6 million
     
    for
    the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three
     
    months ended March 31, 2023.
     
    Net Interest Income
    Net interest income
     
    is the difference
     
    between interest
     
    earned on interest-earning
     
    assets and interest
     
    paid on interest-
    bearing liabilities
     
    and is
     
    the primary
     
    driver of
     
    core earnings.
     
    Interest income
     
    is generated
     
    from interest
     
    and dividends
     
    on
    interest-earning
     
    assets,
     
    including
     
    loans,
     
    investment
     
    securities
     
    and
     
    other
     
    short-term
     
    investments.
     
    Interest
     
    expense
     
    is
    incurred
     
    from
     
    interest
     
    paid
     
    on
     
    interest-bearing
     
    liabilities,
     
    including
     
    interest-bearing
     
    deposits,
     
    FHLB
     
    advances
     
    and
     
    other
    borrowings.
    To evaluate net
     
    interest income, we
     
    measure and monitor
     
    (i) yields on
     
    loans and other
     
    interest-earning assets, (ii)
     
    the
    costs of deposits
     
    and other funding
     
    sources, (iii) net
     
    interest spread, and
     
    (iv) net interest margin.
     
    Net interest spread is
     
    equal
    to the difference between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest
    margin is
     
    equal to
     
    the annualized
     
    net interest
     
    income
     
    divided by
     
    average interest
     
    -earning assets.
     
    Because
     
    non-interest-
    bearing sources
     
    of funds, such as non-interest-bearing deposits and
     
    stockholders’ equity, also fund interest-earning assets,
    net interest margin includes the indirect benefit of these
     
    non-interest-bearing funding sources.
    Changes
     
    in
     
    market
     
    interest
     
    rates
     
    and
     
    interest
     
    rates
     
    we
     
    earn
     
    on
     
    interest-earning
     
    assets
     
    or
     
    pay
     
    on
     
    interest-bearing
    liabilities, as well
     
    as the volume
     
    and types of
     
    interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
     
    and non-interest-bearing liabilities,
    are usually the
     
    largest drivers
     
    of periodic changes
     
    in net interest
     
    spread, net interest
     
    margin and net
     
    interest income.
     
    Our
    asset liability committee
     
    (“ALCO”) has
     
    in place asset-liability
     
    management techniques
     
    to manage major
     
    factors that
     
    affect
    net interest income and net interest margin.

    Three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months
     
    ended March 31, 2023
     
    Net interest income before the provision for
     
    credit losses was $15.2 million for the
     
    three months ended March 31, 2024,
    a
     
    decrease
     
    of
     
    $839
     
    thousand
     
    or
     
    5.2%,
     
    from
     
    $16.0
     
    million
     
    for
     
    the
     
    same
     
    period
     
    in
     
    2023.
     
    The
     
    decrease
     
    was
     
    primarily
    attributable
     
    to
     
    the
     
    $9.3
     
    million
     
    increase
     
    in
     
    interest
     
    expense,
     
    which
     
    was
     
    a

    to
     
    the
     
    prevailing
     
    market
     
    interest
     
    rate
    conditions which offset the increase in interest income.
    Net
     
    interest
     
    margin
     
    was
     
    2.62%
     
    for
     
    the
     
    quarter
     
    ended
     
    March 31,
     
    2024
     
    and
     
    3.22%
     
    for
     
    the
     
    same
     
    period
     
    in
     
    2023. The
    increases
     
    in loan yields as well as yields on other interest-earning assets was offset by
     
    higher deposit and borrowing costs.
     
    Provision for Credit Losses
    The provision
     
    for credit
     
    losses represents
     
    a charge
     
    to earnings
     
    necessary to
     
    maintain an
     
    allowance for
     
    credit losses
    that, in
     
    management's evaluation,
     
    is adequate
     
    to provide
     
    coverage for
     
    all expected
     
    credit losses.
     
    The provision
     
    for credit
    losses is impacted
     
    by variations in
     
    the size and
     
    composition of our
     
    loan and debt
     
    securities portfolio, recent
     
    historical and
    projected future economic conditions, our internal assessment of the credit quality of the loan and debt
     
    securities portfolios
    and net charge-offs.

    Non-Interest Income
    Our services and products generate service charges and fees, mainly from our depository
     
    accounts. We also generate
    income from gain on sale of loans though our swap and SBA
     
    programs. In addition, we own and are beneficiaries of the life
    insurance policies on some of our
     
    employees and generate income from
     
    the increase in the cash surrender
     
    value of these
    policies.

    months ended March 31, 2024
     
    increased $394 thousand or 19.0%,
     
    compared to the
    same period
     
    in 2023.
     
    This increase
     
    was primarily
     
    driven by
     
    growth in
     
    service fees
     
    from a
     
    larger deposit
     
    portfolio and
     
    an
    increase in wire and treasury management fees.

    months ended March 31, 2024
     
    increased $998 thousand or 9.8%,
     
    compared to the
    same period in 2023. The increase was
     
    primarily driven by an increase
     
    in other operating expenses of $578
     
    thousand due
    to $199 thousand
     
    increase in
     
    internal and

    will
     
    eventually
     
    be
     
    reimbursed
     
    by
     
    customers).
    Additionally, consulting and legal fees increased
     
    $234 thousand due to legal
     
    expenses
     
    and regulatory assessment and fees
    increased $209 thousand mostly due to FDIC deposit insurance
     
    as our deposit portfolio grew.
     
    Provision for Income Tax
    Fluctuations in the effective tax rate reflect the effect of the differences in the inclusion or deductibility of certain income
    and expenses for
     
    income tax purposes.
     
    Therefore, future
     
    decisions on the
     
    investments we choose
     
    will affect our
     
    effective
    tax rate.
     
    The cash
     
    surrender value
     
    of bank-owned
     
    life insurance
     
    policies covering
     
    key employees,
     
    purchasing municipal
    bonds, and overall levels of taxable income will be important
     
    elements in determining our effective tax rate.

    Investment Securities
    The investment portfolio
     
    is used and
     
    managed to provide
     
    liquidity through cash
     
    flows, marketability
     
    and, if necessary,
    collateral for
     
    borrowings. The
     
    investment portfolio
     
    is also
     
    used as
     
    a tool
     
    to manage
     
    interest rate
     
    risk and
     
    the Company’s
    capital
     
    market
     
    risk
     
    exposure.
     
    The
     
    philosophy
     
    of
     
    the
     
    portfolio
     
    is
     
    to
     
    maximize
     
    the
     
    Company’s
     
    profitability
     
    taking
     
    into
    consideration the Company’s
     
    risk appetite and
     
    tolerance, manage
     
    the asset composition
     
    and diversification,
     
    and maintain
    adequate risk-based capital ratios.
    The investment portfolio
     
    is managed in accordance
     
    with the Board approved
     
    Asset and Liability
     
    Management (“ALM”)
    policy,
     
    which
     
    includes
     
    investment
     
    guidelines.
     
    Such
     
    policy
     
    is
     
    reviewed
     
    at
     
    least
     
    annually
     
    or
     
    more
     
    frequently
     
    if
     
    deemed
    necessary,
     
    depending on
     
    market conditions
     
    and/or unexpected
     
    events. The investment
     
    portfolio composition
     
    is subject to
    change depending on the funding and liquidity needs of the Company, and the interest risk management objective directed
    by
     
    the
     
    Asset-Liability
     
    Committee
     
    (“ALCO”).
     
    The
     
    portfolio
     
    of
     
    investments
     
    also
     
    can
     
    be
     
    used
     
    to
     
    modify
     
    the
     
    duration
     
    of
     
    the
    balance
     
    sheet.
     
    The
     
    allocation
     
    of

    future
     
    cash
     
    flows
     
    (uses
     
    and
    sources) and all available sources of credit.
    Our investment portfolio consists
     
    primarily of securities issued
     
    by U.S. government-sponsored agencies,
     
    U.S.
     
    agency
    mortgage-backed securities,
     
    collateralized mortgage
     
    obligation securities,
     
    municipal securities,
     
    and other
     
    debt securities,
    all with varying contractual maturities and coupons. Due to the optionality embedded in these securities, the final maturities
    do not necessarily represent
     
    the expected life of
     
    the portfolio. Some
     
    of these securities will
     
    be called or paid
     
    down prior to
    maturity
     
    depending on
     
    capital market
     
    conditions
     
    and
     
    expectations.
     
    The
     
    investment
     
    portfolio
     
    is regularly
     
    reviewed by
     
    the
    Chief Financial
     
    Officer,
     
    Treasurer,
     
    and the
     
    ALCO of
     
    the Company
     
    to ensure
     
    an appropriate
     
    risk and
     
    return profile
     
    as well
    as for adherence to the investment policy.
    When evaluating AFS
     
    debt securities under
     
    ASC Topic
     
    326, the Company
     
    evaluates
     
    whether the decline
     
    in fair value
    is attributable
     
    to credit losses
     
    or other
     
    factors like interest
     
    rate risk,
     
    using both quantitative
     
    and qualitative
     
    analyses, including
    company
     
    performance
     
    analysis,
     
    review
     
    of
     
    credit
     
    ratings,
     
    remaining
     
    payment
     
    terms,
     
    prepayment
     
    speeds
     
    and
     
    analysis
     
    of
    macro-economic conditions.
     
    Each investment is
     
    expected to recover
     
    its unrealized loss
     
    position over its
     
    holding period as
    it approaches to maturity
     
    and the Company has
     
    the intent and ability
     
    to hold these securities
     
    to maturity until
     
    recovery.
     
    As
    a result of this evaluation, the
     
    Company concluded that no allowance was required on AFS
     
    securities as of March 31, 2024.
    AFS and HTM investment securities increased $28.7 million,
     
    or 28.6% annualized, to $433.0 million at March 31, 2024
    from $404.3 million at December 31, 2023. Investment
     
    securities increased due to reinvestment of payments
     
    received and
    investment of excess
     
    in cash
     
    balances into high
     
    credit quality investments
     
    to increase the
     
    Company’s profitability and
     
    modify
    the Company
     
    ’s
     
    balance
     
    sheet
     
    duration
     
    according to
     
    the
     
    ALM policy.
     
    As of
     
    March 31, 2024,
     
    investment
     
    securities
     
    with
     
    a
    market value
     
    of $244.4 million
     
    were pledged
     
    to secure
     
    public deposits
     
    and the

    Loans
    Loans are the
     
    largest category of
     
    interest-earning assets
     
    on the unaudited
     
    Consolidated Balance
     
    Sheets, and usually
    provide higher yields than the
     
    remainder of the interest
     
    -earning assets. Higher yields
     
    typically carry greater
     
    inherent credit
    and liquidity risks in comparison to lower yield assets. The Company manages and mitigates such risks in accordance with
    the credit and ALM policies, risk tolerance and balance
     
    sheet composition.

    annualized to
     
    $1.82 billion,
     
    at March 31,
     
    2024
    compared to December 31, 2023. The residential real
     
    estate loan segment had the most significant growth.
     
    Our
     
    loan
     
    portfolio
     
    continues
     
    to
     
    grow,
     
    with
     
    commercial
     
    real
     
    estate
     
    lending
     
    as
     
    the
     
    primary
     
    focus
     
    which
     
    represented
    approximately 58% of the
     
    total gross loan portfolio as
     
    of March 31, 2024. Our loan
     
    growth strategy since inception has
     
    been
    reflective of the market in which we operate and of our strategic
     
    plan as approved by the Board.
    Most of the
     
    commercial real estate
     
    exposure represents
     
    loans to commercial
     
    businesses secured
     
    by owner-occupied
    real estate.
     
    The growth
     
    experienced in
     
    recent years
     
    is primarily
     
    due to
     
    implementation of
     
    our relationship-based
     
    banking
    model and
     
    the success
     
    of our
     
    relationship managers
     
    in competing
     
    for new
     
    business
     
    in a
     
    highly competitive
     
    metropolitan
    area. Many
     
    of our
     
    larger loan
     
    clients have
     
    long-term relationships
     
    with members
     
    of our
     
    senior management
     
    team or
     
    our
    relationship managers that date back to former institutions.
     
    From a
     
    liquidity perspective,
     
    our loan
     
    portfolio provides
     
    us with
     
    additional
     
    liquidity due
     
    to repayments
     
    or unexpected
    prepayments. The following table shows

    The information

    table above
     
    is based
     
    upon the

    maturities of
     
    the individual
     
    loans, which
    may be
     
    subject to
     
    renewal at
     
    their contractual
     
    maturity.
     
    Renewals will
     
    depend on
     
    approval by
     
    our credit
     
    department and
    balance sheet
     
    composition at the
     
    time of
     
    the analysis,
     
    as well
     
    as any
     
    modification of terms
     
    at the
     
    loan’s maturity. Additionally,
    maturity
     
    concentrations,
     
    loan
     
    duration,
     
    prepayment
     
    speeds

    other
     
    interest
     
    rate
     
    sensitivity
     
    measures
     
    are
     
    discussed,
    reviewed, and analyzed by the ALCO. Decisions on term
     
    /rate modifications are discussed as well.
     
    As of March 31, 2024, approximately 58% of
     
    the loans have adjustable/variable rates
     
    and 42% of the loans have fixed
    rates.
     
    The
     
    adjustable/variable
     
    rate
     
    loans
     
    re-price
     
    to
     
    different
     
    benchmarks
     
    and
     
    tenors
     
    in
     
    different
     
    periods
     
    of
     
    time.
     
    By
    contractual characteristics, there are no
     
    material concentrations on anniversary repricing. Additionally, it is
     
    important to note
    that most
     
    of our
     
    loans have
     
    interest rate
     
    floors. This
     
    embedded option
     
    protects the
     
    Company from
     
    a decrease
     
    in interest
    rates below the floor and positions us to gain in the scenario
     
    of higher interest rates.

    Q1 2024 Form 10-Q
    Asset Quality
     
    Our asset quality grading
     
    analysis estimates the capability of
     
    the borrower to repay
     
    the contractual obligation of
     
    the loan
    agreement as scheduled or at all. The Company’s internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly
    graded loans. Internal credit
     
    risk grades are reviewed
     
    at least once a
     
    year, and
     
    more frequently as
     
    needed. Internal credit
    risk ratings
     
    may change
     
    based on
     
    management’s
     
    assessment of
     
    the results
     
    from the
     
    annual review,
     
    portfolio monitoring,
    and other developments observed with borrowers.
     
    The internal credit risk grades used by the Company to
     
    assess the credit worthiness of a loan are shown below:
    Pass
    – Loans indicate different levels of satisfactory
     
    financial condition and performance.
     
    Special Mention
     
    – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness
     
    that deserves management’s
    close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses
     
    may result in deterioration of the repayment
    prospects for the loan or of the institution’s
     
    credit position at some future date.
     
    Substandard
    – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected
     
    by the current net worth and paying
    capacity of the obligator or of the collateral pledged, if
     
    any. Loans so classified
     
    have a well-defined weakness or
    weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.
     
    They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the
    institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are
     
    not corrected.
     
    Doubtful
     
    – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent
     
    in those classified at substandard, with
    the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection
     
    or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing
    facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
     
    Loss
    – Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible.
    Loan credit exposures by internally assigned grades are
     
    as follows for the dates indicated (in thousands):

    Non-performing assets include all loans categorized
     
    as non-accrual or restructured, other real
     
    estate owned (“OREO”)
    and other repossessed assets.
     
    Problem loans for which
     
    the collection or
     
    liquidation in full
     
    is reasonably uncertain are
     
    placed
    on a non-accrual
     
    status. This determination
     
    is based on
     
    current existing facts
     
    concerning collateral
     
    values and the
     
    paying
    capacity of the borrower. When the collection of the full contractual balance is unlikely,
     
    the loan is placed on non-accrual to
    avoid overstating the Company’s income for a
     
    loan with increased credit risk.
     
    If the
     
    principal or
     
    interest on
     
    a commercial
     
    loan becomes
     
    due and
     
    unpaid for
     
    90 days
     
    or more,
     
    the loan
     
    is placed
     
    on
    non-accrual status as of
     
    the date it becomes
     
    90 days past due
     
    and remains in non-accrual
     
    status until it meets
     
    the criteria
    for restoration to accrual status.
     
    Residential loans, on
     
    the other hand, are placed
     
    on non-accrual status when
     
    the principal
    or interest
     
    becomes due
     
    and unpaid
     
    for 120
     
    days or
     
    more and remains
     
    in non-accrual
     
    status until
     
    it meets
     
    the criteria
     
    for
    restoration
     
    to
     
    accrual
     
    status.
     
    Restoring
     
    a
     
    loan
     
    to
     
    accrual
     
    status
     
    is
     
    possible
     
    when
     
    the
     
    borrower
     
    resumes
     
    payment
     
    of
     
    all
    principal and interest payments for a period of six consecutive months and the Company
     
    has a documented expectation of
    repayment of the remaining contractual principal and interest or the loan becomes secured and in the process of collection.
    The
     
    Company
     
    may
     
    grant
     
    a
     
    loan
     
    concession
     
    to
     
    a
     
    borrower
     
    experiencing
     
    financial
     
    difficulties.
     
    This
     
    determination
     
    is
    performed
     
    during
     
    the
     
    annual
     
    review
     
    process
     
    or
     
    whenever
     
    problems
     
    surface
     
    regarding
     
    the
     
    borrower’s
     
    ability
     
    to
     
    repay
     
    in
    accordance with
     
    the original
     
    terms of
     
    the loan
     
    or line
     
    of credit.
     
    The concessions
     
    are given
     
    to the
     
    debtor in
     
    various forms,
    including interest rate
     
    reductions, principal forgiveness, extension
     
    of maturity date,
     
    waiver, or deferral of
     
    payments and other
    concessions intended to minimize potential losses.

    and borrowers experiencing financial difficulties,

    the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item

    Allowance for Credit Losses
    The ACL
     
    represents
     
    an amount
     
    that,
     
    in
     
    management's
     
    evaluation,
     
    is adequate
     
    to provide
     
    coverage
     
    for
     
    all
     
    expected
    future
     
    credit
     
    losses
     
    on
     
    outstanding
     
    loans.
     
    Additionally,
     
    qualitative
     
    adjustments
     
    are
     
    made
     
    to
     
    the
     
    ACL
     
    when,
     
    based
     
    on
    management’s judgment, there
     
    are factors impacting
     
    the allowance estimate
     
    not considered by
     
    the quantitative calculations.
    See Note 3 “Loans” in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Form 10-Q
     
    for more information on the ACL.

    Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
    We engage
     
    in various financial
     
    transactions in
     
    our operations
     
    that, under GAAP,
     
    may not be
     
    included on
     
    the balance
    sheet. To
     
    meet the financing needs
     
    of our customers we may
     
    include commitments to extend
     
    credit and standby letters
     
    of
    credit. To
     
    a varying
     
    degree, such
     
    commitments involve
     
    elements of
     
    credit, market,
     
    and interest
     
    rate risk
     
    in excess
     
    of the
    amount recognized
     
    in the
     
    balance sheet.
     
    We use
     
    more conservative
     
    credit and
     
    collateral policies
     
    in making
     
    these credit
    commitments than
     
    we do
     
    for on-balance
     
    sheet items.
     
    We are
     
    not aware
     
    of any accounting
     
    loss to
     
    be incurred
     
    by funding
    these commitments;
     
    however,
     
    we
     
    maintain

    Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds to a client, as long as there is no violation of any condition
    established
     
    in
     
    the
     
    contract,
     
    for
     
    a
     
    specific
     
    purpose.
     
    Commitments
     
    generally
     
    have
     
    variable
     
    interest
     
    rates,
     
    fixed
     
    expiration
    dates or
     
    other
     
    termination
     
    clauses
     
    and
     
    may require
     
    payment
     
    of
     
    a fee.
     
    Since many
     
    of the
     
    commitments
     
    are
     
    expected to
    expire without being
     
    fully drawn, the
     
    total commitment
     
    amounts disclosed
     
    above do not
     
    necessarily represent
     
    future cash
    requirements.
    Unfunded lines of credit represent unused portions of credit facilities to our current borrowers that represent no change
    in credit risk in our portfolio. Lines
     
    of credit generally have variable interest
     
    rates. The maximum potential amount
     
    of future
    payments we could
     
    be required to
     
    make is represented
     
    by the contractual
     
    amount of the
     
    commitment, less
     
    the amount of
    any advances made.
    Letters of credit are
     
    conditional commitments issued
     
    by us to guarantee
     
    the performance of a
     
    client to a third
     
    party.
     
    In
    the event of nonperformance by
     
    the client in accordance with the
     
    terms of the agreement with the
     
    third party,
     
    we would be
    required to fund
     
    the commitment.
     
    If the commitment
     
    is funded, we
     
    would be entitled
     
    to seek recovery
     
    from the client
     
    from
    the underlying collateral,
     
    which can include
     
    commercial real estate,
     
    physical plant and
     
    property, inventory, receivables, cash
    or marketable securities.

    While some degree of
     
    Interest Rate Risk
     
    (“IRR”) is inherent to
     
    the banking business, we
     
    believe our ALCO implemented
    sound risk management practices to identify,
     
    quantify,
     
    monitor, and limit IRR exposures.
    When assessing
     
    the scope
     
    of IRR
     
    exposure
     
    and
     
    impact on
     
    the consolidated
     
    balance sheet,
     
    cash
     
    flows and
     
    income
    statement,
     
    management
     
    considers
     
    both
     
    earnings
     
    and
     
    economic
     
    impacts.
     
    Asset
     
    price
     
    variations,
     
    deposit
     
    volatility
     
    and
    reduced earnings or outright losses could adversely affect
     
    the Company’s liquidity,
     
    performance, and capital adequacy.
    Income simulations
     
    are used
     
    to assess
     
    the impact
     
    of changing
     
    rates on
     
    earnings under
     
    different rates
     
    scenarios and
    time horizons.
     
    These simulations
     
    utilize both
     
    instantaneous and
     
    parallel changes
     
    in the
     
    level of
     
    interest rates,
     
    as well
     
    as
    non-parallel changes such as
     
    changing slopes (flat and steepening)
     
    and twists of the yield curve.
     
    Static simulation models
    are based on current exposures and assume a constant balance sheet with no new growth. Dynamic simulation analysis is
    also utilized to have a more comprehensive assessment on IRR. This
     
    simulation relies on detailed assumptions outlined in
    our
     
    budget
     
    and
     
    strategic
     
    plan,
     
    and
     
    in
     
    assumptions
     
    regarding
     
    changes
     
    in
     
    existing
     
    lines
     
    of
     
    business,
     
    new
     
    business,
    management strategies and client expected behavior.
    To
     
    have
     
    a
     
    more
     
    complete
     
    picture
     
    of
     
    IRR,
     
    the
     
    Company
     
    also
     
    evaluates
     
    the
     
    economic
     
    value
     
    of
     
    equity
     
    (“EVE”).
     
    This
    assessment
     
    allows
     
    us
     
    to
     
    measure
     
    the
     
    degree
     
    to
     
    which
     
    the
     
    economic
     
    values
     
    will
     
    change
     
    under
     
    different
     
    interest
     
    rate
    scenarios (parallel and non-parallel). The economic value approach focuses on a longer-term time horizon and captures all
    future cash flows expected
     
    from existing assets and
     
    liabilities. The economic value
     
    model utilizes a static
     
    approach in that
    the analysis
     
    does not
     
    incorporate new
     
    business; rather,
     
    the analysis
     
    shows a
     
    snapshot in
     
    time of
     
    the risk
     
    inherent in
     
    the
    balance sheet.
    Market and Interest Rate Risk Management
    According to our
     
    ALCO model, as
     
    of March 31,
     
    2024, we had
     
    an asset sensitive
     
    balance sheet both
     
    for year one
     
    and
    year two
     
    modeling, using
     
    the static
     
    modeling. Asset
     
    sensitivity indicates
     
    that our
     
    assets generally
     
    reprice faster
     
    than our
    liabilities, which results in a favorable impact to net interest income when market interest rates
     
    increase. Liability sensitivity
    indicates that our
     
    liabilities generally reprice faster
     
    than our assets,
     
    which results in
     
    a favorable impact
     
    to net interest
     
    income
    when market interest rates decrease.
     
    Many assumptions are used
     
    to calculate the impact of interest
     
    rate variations on our
    net interest income,
     
    such as asset
     
    prepayment speeds, non-maturity
     
    deposit price sensitivity,
     
    pricing correlations, deposit
    truncations and decay rates, and key interest rate drivers.
    Because of the inherent use
     
    of these estimates and
     
    assumptions in the model,
     
    our actual results may,
     
    and most likely
    will, differ from static measures results.
     
    In addition, static measures like EVE
     
    do not include actions that management
     
    may
    undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates or customer deposit behavior. As part of
    our ALM strategy and policy, management
     
    has the ability to modify the balance sheet to either increase asset duration and
    decrease liability
     
    duration to reduce
     
    asset sensitivity,
     
    or to decrease
     
    asset duration and
     
    increase liability duration
     
    in order
    to increase asset sensitivity.
    According to
     
    our model,
     
    as of
     
    March
     
    31, 2024,
     
    our balance
     
    sheet
     
    is asset
     
    sensitive
     
    for both
     
    year
     
    one and
     
    year
     
    two
    under interest
     
    static rate
     
    scenarios (an
     
    increase or
     
    decrease of
     
    400 basis
     
    points).
     
    This means
     
    than if
     
    rates increase,
     
    the
    NIM will increase and if rates decrease, the NIM will decrease.
     
    Additionally, utilizing
     
    an EVE approach, we analyze the risk
    to capital from the
     
    effects of various interest rate scenarios
     
    through a long-term discounted cash flow
     
    model. This measures
    the difference between
     
    the economic value of
     
    our assets and the
     
    economic value of
     
    our liabilities, which is
     
    a proxy for our
    liquidation value.
     
    According to
     
    our balance
     
    sheet composition,
     
    and as
     
    expected, our
     
    model stipulates
     
    that an
     
    increase in
    interest rates will have a
     
    negative impact on the EVE
     
    and lower rates, a positive
     
    impact. Results and analysis are presented
    quarterly to the ALCO, and strategies are reviewed and refined.
    Liquidity
    Liquidity is defined
     
    as a Company’s
     
    capacity to meet
     
    its cash and
     
    collateral obligations at
     
    a reasonable cost.
     
    Maintaining
    an adequate level of liquidity depends on the Company’s ability to
     
    efficiently meet both expected and unexpected cash flow
    and collateral needs without adversely affecting
     
    either daily operations or the financial condition of the
     
    Company.
    Liquidity risk
     
    is the
     
    risk that
     
    we will
     
    be unable
     
    to meet
     
    our short-term
     
    and long-term
     
    obligations as
     
    they become
     
    due
    because of an inability
     
    to liquidate assets or
     
    obtain relatively adequate funding. The
     
    Company’s obligations, and the funding

    the assessment of liquidity and the ALM framework.
    Management has established
     
    a comprehensive and
     
    holistic management process for
     
    identifying, measuring, monitoring
    and
     
    mitigating
     
    liquidity
     
    risk.
     
    Due
     
    to
     
    its
     
    critical
     
    importance
     
    to
     
    the
     
    viability
     
    of
     
    the
     
    Company,
     
    liquidity
     
    risk
     
    management
     
    is
    integrated into our risk management processes, Contingency
     
    Funding Plan and ALM policy.
    Critical elements of our liquidity
     
    risk management include: effective corporate governance consisting of
     
    oversight by the
    Board and active
     
    involvement of senior
     
    management; appropriate strategies, policies,
     
    procedures, and limits
     
    used to identify
    and mitigate liquidity risk; comprehensive liquidity risk measurement and
     
    monitoring systems (including assessments of the
    current and prospective cash flows or sources and uses of funds) that are commensurate with the complexity and
     
    business
    activities of
     
    the Company;
     
    active management
     
    of intraday
     
    liquidity and
     
    collateral; an
     
    appropriately diverse
     
    mix of
     
    existing
    and
     
    potential
     
    future
     
    funding
     
    sources;
     
    adequate
     
    levels
     
    of
     
    highly
     
    liquid
     
    marketable
     
    securities
     
    free
     
    of
     
    legal,
     
    regulatory,
     
    or
    operational
     
    impediments,
     
    that
     
    can
     
    be
     
    used
     
    to
     
    meet
     
    liquidity
     
    needs
     
    in
     
    stressful
     
    situations;
     
    comprehensive
     
    contingency
    funding plans
     
    that sufficiently address
     
    potential adverse liquidity
     
    events and emergency
     
    cash flow
     
    requirements; and internal
    controls
     
    and
     
    internal
     
    audit
     
    processes
     
    sufficient
     
    to
     
    determine
     
    the
     
    adequacy
     
    of
     
    the
     
    institution’s
     
    liquidity
     
    risk
     
    management
    process.
    We
     
    expect
     
    funds
     
    to
     
    be
     
    available
     
    from
     
    several
     
    basic
     
    banking
     
    activity
     
    sources,
     
    including
     
    the
     
    core
     
    deposit
     
    base,
     
    the
    repayment and maturity of loans and investment security
     
    cash flows. Other potential funding sources include
     
    federal funds
    purchased, brokered certificates of deposit, listing services certificates of deposit, and draws
     
    from the FRB Atlanta discount
    window,
     
    and borrowings
     
    from the
     
    FHLB.
     
    Accordingly,
     
    we believe
     
    our liquidity
     
    resources
     
    are adequate
     
    to fund
     
    loans and
    meet other cash needs as necessary.

    Q1 2024 Form 10-Q
    Impact of Inflation
    Our
     
    Consolidated
     
    Financial
     
    Statements
     
    and
     
    related
     
    notes
     
    have
     
    been
     
    prepared
     
    in
     
    accordance
     
    with
     
    U.S.
     
    GAAP,
    which require the measurement of financial
     
    position and operating results in terms
     
    of historical dollars, without considering
    the changes in the
     
    relative purchasing power
     
    of money over time
     
    due to inflation. The
     
    impact of inflation is
     
    reflected in the
    increased cost of operations.
     
    Unlike most industrial companies,
     
    nearly all our assets and
     
    liabilities are monetary in
     
    nature.
    As a result,
     
    interest rates have a
     
    greater impact on our
     
    performance than do the
     
    effects of general levels
     
    of inflation. Periods
    of high inflation
     
    are often accompanied
     
    by relatively higher
     
    interest rates, and
     
    periods of low
     
    inflation are accompanied
     
    by
    relatively lower interest rates.
     
    As market interest rates
     
    rise or fall in relation
     
    to the rates earned
     
    on loans and investments,
    the
     
    value
     
    of
     
    these
     
    assets
     
    decreases
     
    or
     
    increases
     
    respectively.
     
    Inflation
     
    can
     
    also
     
    impact
     
    core
     
    non-interest
     
    expenses
    associated with delivering the Company’s services.

    Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non
     
    -GAAP Financial Measures
    Management
     
    has
     
    included
     
    these
     
    non-GAAP
     
    measures
     
    because
     
    it
     
    believes
     
    these
     
    measures
     
    may
     
    provide
     
    useful
    supplemental information
     
    for evaluating
     
    the Company’s
     
    underlying performance
     
    trends. Further,
     
    management uses
     
    these
    measures
     
    in
     
    managing
     
    and
     
    evaluating
     
    the
     
    Company’s
     
    business

    about
     
    our
    operations and performance.
     
    Operating performance
     
    measures should be

    to, and not
     
    as an alternative
    to or
     
    substitute
     
    for,
     
    measures
     
    determined
     
    in
     
    accordance

    Item 3.
     
    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
    As a smaller reporting company,
     
    we are not required to provide the information required
     
    by this item.
    Item 4. Controls and Procedures
    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
    Under the
     
    supervision and with
     
    the participation of
     
    our management, including
     
    our President and
     
    Chief Executive Officer
    and our
     
    Chief Financial
     
    Officer,
     
    we evaluated
     
    the effectiveness
     
    of the
     
    design and
     
    operation of
     
    the Company’s
     
    disclosure
    controls
     
    and
     
    procedures
     
    (as
     
    defined
     
    in
     
    Rules
     
    13a-15(e)
     
    and
     
    15d-15(e)
     
    under
     
    the
     
    Exchange
     
    Act)
     
    as
     
    of
     
    March 31,
     
    2024.
    Based on that evaluation,
     
    management believes that, as of
     
    the end of
     
    the period covered by
     
    this Form 10-Q, the
     
    Company's
    disclosure controls and procedures were effective to collect, process, and disclose the information required to be disclosed
    in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act
     
    within the required time periods.
    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)
    under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that has
     
    materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
    materially affect, our internal control over financial
     
    reporting.
     
    Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
    In
     
    designing
     
    and
     
    evaluating
     
    the
     
    disclosure
     
    controls
     
    and
     
    procedures,
     
    management
     
    recognizes
     
    that
     
    any
     
    controls
     
    and
    procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving
    the desired control objectives.
     
    In addition, the design
     
    of disclosure controls and
     
    procedures must reflect the
     
    fact that there
    are resource constraints and that management is required to apply
     
    judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls
    and procedures relative to their costs.

    PART II
    Item 1.
     
    Legal Proceedings
    We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. We are from time to time subject to claims and litigation
    arising
     
    in
     
    the
     
    ordinary
     
    course
     
    of
     
    business.
     
    These
     
    claims
     
    and
     
    litigation
     
    may
     
    include,
     
    among
     
    other
     
    things,
     
    allegations
     
    of
    violation of banking and other applicable regulations, competition
     
    law, labor laws and consumer
     
    protection laws, as well as
    claims or
     
    litigation
     
    relating
     
    to intellectual
     
    property,
     
    securities, breach
     
    of contract
     
    and tort.
     
    We
     
    intend to
     
    defend ourselves
    vigorously against any pending or future claims and litigation.
    The
     
    Company
     
    previously
     
    disclosed
     
    that
     
    litigation
     
    (the
     
    “Litigation”)
     
    had
     
    been
     
    commenced
     
    on
     
    July
     
    13,
     
    2023
     
    by
     
    three
    individuals
     
    who
     
    were
     
    shareholders
     
    of
     
    the
     
    Bank
     
    prior
     
    to
     
    the
     
    Bank’s
     
    reorganization
     
    into
     
    the
     
    holding
     
    company
     
    form
     
    of
    organization in 2021
     
    (the “Plaintiffs”)
     
    against six
     
    persons, all
     
    of whom were
     
    directors of
     
    the Bank at
     
    the relevant
     
    time (the
    “Defendants”), in the Circuit Court, Eleventh Judicial Circuit for Miami-Dade County, Florida (the “Court”) (Benes et al. v. de
    la
     
    Aguilera
     
    et
     
    al.)
     
    alleging
     
    the
     
    Defendants
     
    (i) caused
     
    the
     
    Bank,
     
    as
     
    directors
     
    thereof,
     
    to
     
    engage
     
    in ultra
     
    vires
     
    conduct by
    devising
     
    and
     
    approving
     
    the
     
    exchange
     
    transaction
     
    effected
     
    in
     
    July
     
    2021
     
    pursuant
     
    to
     
    which
     
    the
     
    Bank’s
     
    then
     
    outstanding
    shares of Class C and Class D preferred stock was exchanged for shares of Class A voting common stock in the
     
    Bank (the
    “Exchange Transaction”),
     
    which action
     
    the Plaintiffs
     
    allege was
     
    not permitted
     
    by the
     
    Bank’s Articles
     
    of Incorporation,
     
    and
    (ii) breached
     
    their
     
    fiduciary
     
    duty as
     
    directors
     
    of the
     
    Bank
     
    by approving
     
    and
     
    engaging
     
    in
     
    the
     
    Exchange
     
    Transaction.
     
    The
    Plaintiffs sought the
     
    Court to certify the
     
    action as a class
     
    action and to award
     
    damages in an
     
    amount to be
     
    proven at trial.
    The Plaintiffs sought damages exceeding $750,000
     
    plus attorney’s fees and costs as
     
    well as such other relief as the Court
    determined to award.
     
    The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Litigation with
     
    prejudice (the “Motion”). On December 27, 2023, the Court,
    after reviewing
     
    the Motion,
     
    the Plaintiff’s response
     
    thereto and
     
    the Defendant’s reply
     
    as well
     
    as the
     
    oral arguments presented
    by
     
    the
     
    parties
     
    on
     
    December
     
    14,
     
    2023,
     
    granted
     
    the
     
    Motion,
     
    dismissing
     
    the
     
    Litigation
     
    with
     
    prejudice
     
    and
     
    rendering
     
    final
    judgment in favor
     
    of the Defendants
     
    (the “Order”). The Court
     
    reserved jurisdiction to award
     
    costs or grant
     
    any post-judgment
    relief.
    On May 1, 2024, the
     
    Plaintiffs filed in the
     
    Thirds District Court of
     
    Appeal for the State of
     
    Florida (the “Appellate Court”)
    an appeal, appealing the issuance of the Order and seeking a reversal of the Order.
     
    The Plaintiffs claim the Court erred by
    concluding
     
    (i)
     
    the
     
    Exchange
     
    Transaction
     
    was
     
    not
     
    ultra
     
    vires,
     
    and
     
    (ii)
     
    that
     
    the
     
    Legacy
     
    Shareholders
     
    (which
     
    includes
     
    the
    Plaintiffs) lacked direct standing.
    The Company believes
     
    that the positions
     
    in the Appeal
     
    are legally
     
    and factually without
     
    merit, and it
     
    intends to vigorously
    defend
     
    against
     
    the
     
    Appeal,
     
    pursue
     
    any
     
    potential
     
    counterclaims
     
    against
     
    the
     
    Plaintiffs
     
    as
     
    it
     
    deems
     
    appropriate,
     
    and
     
    seek
    coverage
     
    from
     
    its
     
    insurance
     
    carriers.
     
    However,
     
    there
     
    can
     
    be
     
    no
     
    assurance
     
    that
     
    the
     
    Appeal
     
    will
     
    be
     
    resolved
     
    favorably.
    Furthermore, there
     
    is also
     
    no assurance
     
    that we
     
    will be
     
    able to
     
    secure coverage
     
    from our
     
    insurance carriers
     
    for any
     
    expenses
    incurred by
     
    us in
     
    connection with
     
    defending against
     
    the Appeal.
     
    The Appellate
     
    Court could
     
    grant the
     
    Plaintiff’s motion
     
    to
    reverse the Order and remand the case to the Court.
    At
     
    this
     
    time,
     
    in
     
    the
     
    opinion
     
    of
     
    management,
     
    the
     
    likelihood
     
    is
     
    remote
     
    that
     
    the
     
    impact
     
    of
     
    such
     
    proceedings,
     
    either
    individually or
     
    in the
     
    aggregate, would
     
    have a
     
    material adverse
     
    effect
     
    on our
     
    consolidated results
     
    of operations,
     
    financial
    condition
     
    or cash
     
    flows. However,
     
    one
     
    or more
     
    unfavorable
     
    outcomes
     
    in any
     
    claim or
     
    litigation
     
    against
     
    us, including
     
    the
    aforementioned Appeal
     
    regarding the
     
    Exchange Transaction,
     
    could have
     
    a material
     
    adverse effect
     
    on the period
     
    in which
    such claims
     
    or litigation
     
    are resolved.
     
    In addition,
     
    regardless of
     
    their merits
     
    or their
     
    ultimate outcomes,
     
    such matters
     
    are
    costly, divert management’s
