NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Silvergate Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silvergate Bank (the “Bank”), collectively referred to as (the “Company” or “Silvergate”).
The Company’s assets consist primarily of its investment in the Bank and its primary activities are conducted through the Bank. The Company is a registered bank holding company that is subject to supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (“Federal Reserve”). The Bank is subject to regulation by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, Division of Financial Institutions (“DFPI”), and, as a Federal Reserve member bank since 2012, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”). The Bank’s deposits are insured up to legal limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).
Financial Statement Preparation and Presentation
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without an audit, in accordance with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K dated February 28, 2022. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all other entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the Company include its wholly owned subsidiaries. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with GAAP and conform to predominant practices within the financial services industry.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (or “ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) to replace the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (or “CECL”) model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables, held to maturity debt securities, and reinsurance receivables. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor. These amendments were initially effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 for SEC registrants and after December 15, 2020, for Public Business Entities, or PBEs. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which finalized the delay of the effective date for smaller reporting companies, as of the ASU 2019-10 effective date, such as the Company to apply the standards related to CECL, until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. For debt securities with other than temporary impairment (OTTI), the guidance will be applied prospectively. The new methodology replaces the other-than-temporary impairment model and requires the recognition of an allowance for reductions in a security’s fair value attributable to declines in credit quality, instead of a direct write-down of the security when a valuation decline is determined to be other-than-temporary. Existing purchased credit impaired (PCI) assets will be grandfathered and classified as purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) assets at the date of adoption. The asset will be grossed up for the allowance for expected credit losses for all PCD assets at the date of adoption and will continue to recognize the noncredit discount in interest income based on the yield such assets as of the adoption date. Subsequent changes in expected credit losses will be recorded through the allowance. For all other assets with the scope of CECL, the cumulative effect adjustment will be recognized in retained earnings as of the
beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The amendment eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrow is experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the update requires public business entities to disclose current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination. In preparation for the adoption of CECL, the Company contracted a third-party vendor to assist in the application and analysis of ASU 2016-13 as well as a third party vendor to perform an independent model validation. In relation to the loan portfolio, significant progress has been made in the implementation efforts, which include model development, documentation, and validation, identification of data sources, processes and internal controls, and establishment of formal governing policies and standards. The Company has determined loan pool segmentation under CECL, as well as selected the key economic loss drivers for each segment. A CECL model has also been implemented for the securities portfolio. Currently, the Company is conducting parallel runs as well as continuing to review and refine its models and methodologies. The Company has not yet completed an internal and third-party model validation and has not yet finalized selection of internal controls and tests of those controls, and therefore the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact that the adoption of CECL will have on the Company’s financial statements. The impact upon adoption will depend on a variety of factors as of the date of adoption, including the size and composition of the Company’s portfolios, macroeconomic conditions and forecasts, finalized models, methodologies and other management adjustments. At adoption, the one-time cumulative-effect adjustment for the change in the allowance for credit losses, net of tax, will impact the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2023. An increase in the allowance will result in a decrease to regulatory capital amounts and ratios. Federal banking regulatory agencies have provided relief for an initial decrease at adoption by allowing the impact to be phased-in over three years on a straight-line basis.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (or “ASU 2020-04”), which provides temporary, optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (or “LIBOR”) or other interbank offered rate (reference rates) on financial reporting. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, the regulatory supervisor for ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, announced that the overnight and one, three, six and twelve month USD LIBOR will be discontinued on June 30, 2023. It was originally expected that LIBOR would be discontinued by the end of 2021. To help with the transition to new reference rates, the ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to affected contract modifications and hedge accounting relationships. The guidance is applicable only to contracts or hedge accounting relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The expedients and exceptions in this update are available to all entities starting March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which clarifies the scope of Topic 848 to include derivative instruments impacted by discounting transition. The Company has created a LIBOR transition team that reports to the Asset Liability Management Committee to address the LIBOR transition and phase-out issues. The Company has identified its LIBOR-based contracts that will be impacted by the transition away from of LIBOR, and is incorporating fallback language in negotiated contracts and incorporating non-LIBOR reference rate and/or fallback language in new contracts to prepare for these changes. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact that ASU 2020-04 will have on those financial assets where LIBOR is used as an index rate.
Except for the updated standards discussed above, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective that have significance, or potential significance, to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2022, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 (“SAB 121”), which provided interpretive guidance regarding accounting for obligations to safeguard crypto-assets an entity holds for platform users. The interpretive guidance requires an entity to recognize a liability on its balance sheet to reflect the obligation to safeguard the crypto-assets held for its platform users, along with a corresponding safeguarding asset, both of which are measured at fair value. SAB 121 also requires disclosure of the nature and amount of crypto assets being safeguarded, how the fair value is determined, an entity’s accounting policy for safeguarding liabilities and corresponding safeguarding assets and may require disclosure of other information about risks and uncertainties arising from the entity’s safeguarding activities. SAB 121 was effective no later than the first interim or annual period ending after June 15, 2022, with retrospective application as of the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company adopted this guidance as of June 30, 2022 with retrospective application as of January 1, 2022, and concluded that as of June 30, 2022, $52.8 million of safeguarding liabilities and corresponding safeguarding assets were subject to the guidance in SAB 121 and were recorded on the Company’s statement of financial position. The safeguarding liabilities and corresponding safeguarding assets represent the fair value of certain bitcoin collateral for the SEN Leverage loan product held by exchanges or other custodians at the end of the reporting period. The Bank works with regulated digital asset exchanges and custodians as
well as other indirect lenders, to act as its collateral custodians for such loans and to liquidate the collateral in the event of a decline in collateral coverage below levels required in the borrower’s loan agreement. The collateral custodians hold the cryptographic key information, maintain the recordkeeping of the assets and are obligated to secure the assets and protect them from loss or theft. The bitcoin collateral for the SEN Leverage loans may be subject to SAB 121 depending on, among other factors, the underlying contracts with the custodians, including direct or indirect relationships with the custodian and the titling of the custodial accounts in the name of the Bank for the benefit of the borrowers. These specific collateral arrangements resulted in a risk profile consistent with the intent of SAB 121, and therefore were recorded on the statement of financial condition. At September 30, 2022, the balance of safeguarding liabilities and corresponding safeguarding assets was zero.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company transferred, at fair value, $1.9 billion of residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and municipal bonds from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity securities. The decision to re-designate the securities was based on the Company’s ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity. Factors used in assessing the ability to hold these securities to maturity were future liquidity needs and sources of funding. The related net unrealized after-tax loss of $40.6 million remained in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be amortized as a yield adjustment through earnings over the remaining life of the securities, offsetting the related net amortization of premium on the transferred securities. No gain or loss was recognized at the time of the transfer.
Held-to-maturity securities pledged for borrowings or for other purposes as required or permitted by law had a fair value of $1.7 billion as of September 30, 2022. There were no securities pledged as of December 31, 2021.
At September 30, 2022, the total fair value of securities issued by one individual issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity was $261.0 million.
Securities with unrealized and unrecognized losses as of the dates indicated, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized or unrecognized loss position, are as follows:

As indicated in the tables above, as of September 30, 2022, the Company’s investment securities had gross unrealized losses totaling approximately $1.1 billion, compared to approximately $58.5 million at December 31, 2021. The Company analyzes all of its securities with an unrealized loss position. For each security, the Company analyzed the credit quality and performed a projected cash flow analysis. In analyzing the credit quality, management may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government, its agencies or its sponsored entities, or non-governmental entities, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and if credit quality has deteriorated. When performing a cash flow analysis, the Company uses models that project prepayments, default rates, and loss severities on the collateral supporting the security, based on underlying loan level borrower and loan characteristics and interest rate assumptions. Based on these analyses and reviews conducted by the Company, and assisted by independent third parties, the Company determined that none of its securities required an other-than-temporary impairment charge at September 30, 2022. Management continues to expect to recover the adjusted amortized cost basis of these securities.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had 633 securities whose estimated fair value declined 10.13% from the Company’s amortized cost and at December 31, 2021, the Company had 323 securities whose estimated fair value declined 0.98% from the Company’s amortized cost. These unrealized losses on securities are primarily due to changes in market interest rates or widening of credit spreads since their purchase dates. Current unrealized losses are expected to be recovered as the securities approach their respective maturity dates. Management believes it will more than likely not be required to sell any of the debt securities in an unrealized loss position before recovery of the amortized cost basis.
There were no sales or calls of available-for-sale securities for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received $507.2 million in proceeds and recognized $4.8 million of gains and $5.6 million losses on sales of available-for-sale securities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company received $338.9 million in proceeds and recognized $5.2 million of gains and no losses on sales of available-for-sale securities.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities as of the periods presented by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. For purposes of the following table, the entire outstanding balance of

Note 3—Loans
The following disclosure reports the Company’s loan portfolio segments and classes. Segments are groupings of similar loans at a level in which the Company has adopted systematic methods of documentation for determining its allowance for loan and credit losses. Classes are a disaggregation of the portfolio segments. The Company’s loan portfolio segments are:
Real estate. Real estate loans include loans for which the Company holds one-to-four family, multi-family, commercial and construction real property as collateral. One-to-four family real estate loans primarily consist of non-qualified single-family residential mortgage loans and purchases of loan pools. Multi-family real estate loans have been offered for the purchase or refinancing of apartment properties located primarily in the Southern California market area. Commercial real estate lending activity has historically been primarily focused on investor properties that are owned by customers with a current banking relationship. The primary risks of real estate mortgage loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the real estate that is being held as collateral and significant increases in interest rates, which may make the real estate mortgage loan unprofitable. Real estate loans also may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy.
Commercial and industrial. Commercial and industrial loans consist of U.S. dollar denominated loans to businesses that are collateralized almost exclusively by bitcoin or U.S. dollars, also known as our core lending product, SEN Leverage. Commercial and industrial loans may also consist of loans and lines of credit to businesses that are generally collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, loan and lease receivables and other commercial assets, and may be supported by other credit enhancements such as personal guarantees. Risks may arise from differences between expected and actual cash flows and/or liquidity levels of the borrowers, as well as the type of collateral securing these loans and the reliability of the conversion thereof to cash. Borrowers accessing SEN Leverage provide bitcoin or U.S. dollars as collateral in an amount greater than the line of credit eligible to be advanced. The Bank works with regulated digital asset exchanges and other indirect lenders, as the case may be, to both act as its collateral custodian for such loans, and to liquidate the collateral in the event of a decline in collateral coverage below levels required in the borrower’s loan agreement. At no time does the Bank directly hold the pledged bitcoin. The Bank sets collateral coverage ratios at levels intended to yield collateral liquidation proceeds in excess of the borrower’s loan amount, but the borrower remains obligated for the payment of any deficiency notwithstanding any change in the condition of the exchange, financial or otherwise. The outstanding balance of gross SEN Leverage loans was $302.2 million and $335.9 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Unfunded commitments on SEN Leverage loans were $1.2 billion and $234.6 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Reverse mortgage and other. From 2012 to 2014, the Company purchased home equity conversion mortgage (“HECM”) loans (also known as reverse mortgage loans) which are a special type of home loan, for homeowners aged 62 years or older, that requires no monthly mortgage payments and allows the borrower to receive payments from the lender. Reverse mortgage loan insurance is provided by the U.S. Federal Housing Administration through the HECM program which protects lenders from losses due to non-repayment of the loans when the outstanding loan balance exceeds collateral value at the time the loan is required to be repaid. Other loans consist of consumer loans and loans secured by personal property.
Mortgage warehouse. The Company’s mortgage warehouse lending division provides short-term interim funding primarily for single-family residential mortgage loans originated by mortgage bankers or other lenders. The Company holds legal title to such loans from the date they are funded by the Company until the loans are sold to secondary market investors pursuant to pre-existing take out commitments, generally within a few weeks of origination, with loan sale proceeds applied to pay down Company funding. The Company’s mortgage warehouse loans may either be held-for-investment or held-for-sale depending on the underlying contract. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, gross mortgage warehouse loans were approximately $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.
A summary of loans as of the periods presented are as follows:

Total loans held-for-sale(1) | | $ | 924,644 | | | $ | 893,194 | |
________________________(1)Loans held-for-sale include $891.5 million and $893.2 million of mortgage warehouse loans as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $111.8 million and $381.0 million, respectively, of the Company’s gross loans held-for-investment were collateralized by various forms of real estate, primarily located in California. Real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $302.2 million and $335.9 million, respectively, of the Company’s gross loans held-for-investment was collateralized primarily by bitcoin and U.S. dollars. The loan to value ratio of these loans fluctuates in relation to value of bitcoin held as collateral, which may be volatile and there is no assurance that customers will be able to timely provide additional collateral under these loans in a scenario where the value of the bitcoin drops precipitously. The Company monitors and manages concentrations of credit risk by making loans that are diversified by collateral type, placing limits on the amounts of various categories of loans relative to total Company capital, and conducting quarterly reviews of its portfolio by collateral type, geography, and other characteristics.
Recorded investment in loans excludes accrued interest receivable due to immateriality. Accrued interest on loans held-for-investment totaled approximately $2.5 million and $3.3 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
A loan is identified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and, for economic or legal reasons related to these difficulties, the Company grants a concession to the borrower in the restructuring that it would not otherwise consider. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. The Company has granted a concession when, as a result of the restructuring, it does not expect to collect all amounts due or within the time periods originally due under the original contract, including one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a temporary forbearance with regard to the payment of principal or interest. All troubled debt restructurings are reviewed for potential impairment. Generally, a nonaccrual loan that is restructured remains on nonaccrual status for a minimum period of six months to demonstrate that the borrower can perform under the restructured terms. If the borrower’s performance under the new terms is not reasonably assured, the loan remains classified as a nonaccrual loan. Loans classified as TDRs are reported as impaired loans.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had a recorded investment in TDRs of $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The Company has allocated $25,000 of specific allowance for those loans at September 30, 2022 and $29,000 at December 31, 2021. The Company has not committed to advance additional amounts on these TDRs. No loans were modified as TDRs during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Modifications of loans classified as TDRs during the periods presented, are as follows:

The TDRs described above had no impact on the allowance for loan losses and no impact to charge-offs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The TDRs described above had an immaterial impact on the allowance for loan losses and no impact to charge-offs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. There were no loans modified as TDRs for which there was a payment default within twelve months during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021. There was no provision for loan loss or charge-offs for TDRs that subsequently defaulted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021.
Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. This analysis typically includes larger, nonhomogeneous loans such as commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
| | | | | | | | |
Pass: | | Loans in all classes that are not adversely rated, are contractually current as to principal and interest, and are otherwise in compliance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management believes that there is a low likelihood of loss related to those loans that are considered pass. |
| |
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 obligor 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 Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. |
| |
Doubtful: | | Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as 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: | | Credits rated as loss are charged-off. Management has no expectation of the recovery of any payments in respect of credits rated as loss. |
The following tables present by portfolio class the Company’s internal risk grading system as well as certain other information concerning the credit quality of the Company’s recorded investment in loans held-for-investment as of the periods presented. No assets were classified as loss or doubtful during the periods presented.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding balance of federal funds purchased.
Note 5—Intangible Assets
On January 31, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) under which it acquired from the Libra Association, Diem Networks US HoldCo, Inc., Diem Networks US, Inc., Diem Networks II LLC, Diem LLC, and Diem Networks LLC, (collectively, the “Sellers”) certain intellectual property and other technology assets related to running a blockchain-based payment network. The assets acquired by the Company included development, deployment and operations infrastructure and tools for running a blockchain-based payment network designed to facilitate payments for commerce and cross-border remittances as well as proprietary software elements that are critical to running a regulatory-compliant stablecoin network. The technology is currently in a pre-launch phase, and no related amortization expense has been recorded for the acquired asset. The amortization period will begin when the developed technology is available for intended use.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the aggregate purchase price for the acquired assets consisted of (i) $50.0 million in cash consideration and (ii) 1,221,217 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The value of the total transaction consideration was $181.6 million. The Company accounted for the purchase as an asset acquisition and has capitalized direct transaction costs related to the purchase as well as development costs of $12.5 million, bringing the total intangible asset to $194.0 million at September 30, 2022.
Note 6—Subordinated Debentures, Net
A trust formed by the Company issued $12.5 million of floating rate trust preferred securities in July 2001 as part of a pooled offering of such securities. The Company issued subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange for its proceeds from the offering. The debentures and related accrued interest represent substantially all of the assets of the trust. The subordinated debentures bear interest at six-month LIBOR plus 375 basis points, which adjusts every six months in January and July of each year. Interest is payable semiannually. At September 30, 2022, the interest rate for the Company’s next scheduled payment was 7.13%, based on six-month LIBOR of 3.38%. On any January 25 or July 25 the Company may redeem the 2001 subordinated debentures at 100% of principal amount plus accrued interest. The 2001 subordinated debentures mature on July 25, 2031.
A second trust formed by the Company issued $3.0 million of trust preferred securities in January 2005 as part of a pooled offering of such securities. The Company issued subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange for its proceeds from the offering. The debentures and related accrued interest represent substantially all of the assets of the trust. The subordinated debentures bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 185 basis points, which adjusts every three months. Interest is payable quarterly. At September 30, 2022, the interest rate for the Company’s next scheduled payment was 5.14%, based on three-month LIBOR of 3.29%. On the 15th day of any March, June, September, or December, the Company may redeem the 2005 subordinated debentures at 100% of principal amount plus accrued interest. The 2005 subordinated debentures mature on March 15, 2035.
The Company also retained a 3% minority interest in each of these trusts which is included in subordinated debentures. The balance of the equity in the trusts is comprised of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities. The subordinated debentures may be included in Tier I capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. The Company has the right to defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures from time to time for a period not to exceed five years.
The outstanding balance of the subordinated debentures was $15.9 million, net of $0.1 million unamortized debt issuance costs as of September 30, 2022 and $15.8 million, net of $0.1 million unamortized debt issuance costs as of December 31, 2021.
Note 7—Derivative and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The Company utilizes interest rate derivatives as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the derivative does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual derivative agreements. In accordance with accounting guidance, changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transactions. For cash flow and fair value hedges, the initial fair value of hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized in earnings under a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Any difference between the change in the fair value of the hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness and the amounts recognized in earnings is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. For a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized in current earnings as fair values change. The change in fair value of the hedged item is recorded as a basis adjustment to the hedged assets or liabilities. The amount included as a basis adjustment would be reclassified to current earnings on a straight-line basis over the original life of the hedged item should the hedges no longer be considered effective.
Interest rate swaps. In 2022, the Company entered into a receive fixed/pay floating rate interest rate swap for a notional amount of $2.5 billion designated as a cash flow hedge of certain available-for-sale securities and a two-year forward starting pay fixed/receive floating rate interest rate swap for a notional amount of $1.5 billion that was designated as fair value hedge of certain available-for-sale securities (collectively the “2022 Swap Agreements”). The 2022 Swap Agreements were determined to be effective during the periods presented. The 2022 Swap Agreements were based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) index and have original expiration dates in 2024 and 2029, respectively.
Interest rate floors. In 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate floor agreement (the “2022 Floor Agreement”) for a total notional amount of $1.0 billion to hedge cash flow receipts on securities, cash or loans, if needed. The 2022 Floor Agreement expires in May 2029. The Company utilized this 2022 Floor Agreement as a hedge against adverse changes in cash flows on the designated securities, cash, or loans attributable to fluctuations in the SOFR-30 Day Average index below 2.577%, as applicable. The 2022 Floor Agreement was determined to be fully effective during all periods presented and, as such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. The upfront fee paid to the counterparty in entering into this 2022 Floor Agreement was approximately $57.6 million.
In 2019, the Company entered into 20 interest rate floor agreements (the “Floor Agreements”) for a total notional amount of $400.0 million to hedge cash flow receipts on cash and securities or loans, if needed. The original Floor Agreements expire on various dates in April 2024 and July 2029. The Company utilizes one-month LIBOR and three-month LIBOR interest rate floors as hedges against adverse changes in cash flows on the designated cash, securities or loans attributable to fluctuations in the federal funds rate or three-month LIBOR below 2.50% or 2.25%, as applicable. The Floor Agreements were determined to be fully effective during all periods presented and, as such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. The upfront fee paid to the counterparty in entering into these Floor Agreements was approximately $20.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company sold $200.0 million of its total $400.0 million notional amount of interest rate floors for $13.0 million, which resulted in a net gain of $8.4 million, to be recognized over the weighted average remaining term of 4.1 years. The remaining agreements are one-month LIBOR floors with a strike price of 2.25% and expire in July 2029.
Interest rate caps. In 2021, the Company entered into 26 interest rate cap agreements with a total notional amount of $552.8 million (“Federal Funds Rate Cap Agreements”). The Federal Funds Rate Cap Agreements are designated as fair value hedges against changes in the fair value of certain fixed rate tax-exempt municipal bonds. The Company utilizes the interest rate caps as hedges against adverse changes in interest rates on the designated securities attributable to fluctuations in the federal funds rate above 2.00%, as applicable. An increase in the benchmark interest rate hedged reduces the fair value of these assets. The Federal Funds Rate Cap Agreements expire on various dates from 2027 to 2032. The upfront fee paid to the counterparties was approximately $24.7 million. The Company expects the Federal Funds Rate Cap Agreements to remain effective during the remaining term of the respective agreements. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company sold certain tax-exempt municipal bonds and $16.5 million notional amount of the related interest rate caps for $1.1 million in proceeds for the interest rate caps and recognized a gain of $0.4 million which was recognized immediately in other noninterest
income on the statement of operations. The Company may receive collateral or may be required to post collateral based upon market valuation. As of September 30, 2022, the Company held $83.5 million in cash collateral posted by the counterparty.
In 2012, the Company entered into a $12.5 million and a $3.0 million notional forward interest rate cap agreement (the “LIBOR Cap Agreements”) to hedge its variable rate subordinated debentures. The $3.0 million LIBOR Cap Agreement and $12.5 million LIBOR Cap Agreement matured during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Actual tax expense | | $ | 31,080 | | | 22.1 | % | | $ | 4,661 | | | 7.5 | % |
Income tax expense was $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were 23.7% and 20.0%, respectively. Income tax expense was $31.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were 22.1% and 7.5%, respectively. The higher effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily due to lower excess tax benefits recognized during 2022 on the exercise of stock options. The increase in tax expense and effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were partially offset by an increase in tax-exempt income earned on certain municipal bonds compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The deferred tax asset balance as of September 30, 2022 was $219.9 million compared to $6.5 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase in the deferred tax asset is attributable to the unrealized losses on the available-for-sale securities portfolio and derivatives.
Note 9 —Commitments and Contingencies
Off-Balance Sheet Items
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various transactions, which, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company enters into these transactions to meet the financing needs of its customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and issue letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk exceeding the amounts recognized on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amounts of these commitments. The same credit policies and procedures are used in making these commitments as for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company is not aware of any accounting loss to be incurred by funding these commitments, however, an allowance for off-balance sheet credit risk is recorded in other liabilities on the statements of financial condition. The allowance for these commitments amounted to approximately $18,000 and $0.6 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The Company’s commitments associated with outstanding letters of credit and commitments to extend credit expiring by period as of the date indicated are summarized below. Since commitments associated with letters of credit and commitments to extend credit may expire unused, the amounts shown do not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | September 30, 2022 | | December 31, 2021 |
| | | | |
| | (Dollars in thousands) |
Unfunded lines of credit | | $ | 1,191,043 | | | $ | 248,092 | |
Letters of credit | | 470 | | | 484 | |
Total credit extension commitments | | $ | 1,191,513 | | | $ | 248,576 | |
Unfunded lines of credit represent unused credit facilities to the Company’s current borrowers that represent no change in credit risk that exist in the Company’s portfolio. Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. In the event of nonperformance by the customer in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If the commitment is funded, the Company 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, bitcoin, cash and/or marketable securities. The Company’s policies generally require that letter of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants like those contained in loan agreements and our credit risk associated with issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risk involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
The Company minimizes its exposure to loss under letters of credit and credit commitments by subjecting them to the same credit approval and monitoring procedures used for on-balance sheet instruments. The effect on the Company’s revenue, expenses, cash flows and liquidity of the unused portions of these letters of credit commitments cannot be precisely predicted because there is no guarantee that the lines of credit will be used.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract, for a specific purpose and required collateral coverage ratios have been met ahead of any funding advance, if applicable. 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 drawn upon, the total commitment amounts disclosed above do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.
Litigation
The Company is involved in various matters of litigation which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of such pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 10—Stock-based Compensation
In June 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Equity Compensation Plan, or 2018 Plan, that permits the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, to grant various forms of incentive awards. Under the 2018 Plan, the Compensation Committee has the power to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The number of shares that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2018 Plan is 1,596,753.
In accordance with authoritative guidance for stock-based compensation, compensation expense is recognized only for those shares expected to vest, based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations. The Company has elected a policy of estimating expected forfeitures.
Total stock-based compensation expense was $1.1 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense was $2.8 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

At September 30, 2022, there was approximately $5.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.
Note 11—Regulatory Capital
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019. Under the Basel III rules, the Company must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. As of January 1, 2019, the capital conservation buffer had fully phased in to 2.50%. Inclusive of the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer, the common equity tier 1 capital ratio, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio minimums are 7.00%, 8.50% and 10.50%, respectively. The Company and the Bank’s regulatory capital reflects the one-time AOCI opt-out election made in the first reporting period after it was subject to capital requirements and therefore the net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities and derivatives are not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes, as of September 30, 2022, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. For the periods presented, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.
Actual capital amounts and ratios for the Company and the Bank as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are presented in the following tables:

The Bank is restricted as to the amount of dividends that it can pay to the Company. Dividends declared in excess of the lesser of the Bank’s undivided profits or the Bank’s net income for its last three fiscal years less the amount of any distribution made to the Bank’s shareholder during the same period must be approved by the California DFPI. Also, the Bank may not pay dividends that would result in capital levels being reduced below the minimum requirements shown above.
Note 12—Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This standard’s fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2—Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Financial Instruments Required To Be Carried At Fair Value
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:
Securities. The fair values of securities available-for-sale and trading securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2), using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded, which values debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).
Derivatives. The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are carried at fair value as required by GAAP. The estimated fair values of the derivative assets and liabilities are based on current market prices for similar instruments. Given the meaningful level of secondary market activity for derivative contracts, active pricing is available for similar assets and accordingly, the Company classifies its derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2.
Safeguarding assets and liabilities. Safeguarding liabilities and corresponding safeguarding assets represent the Company’s obligation to safeguard bitcoin collateral held by certain regulated digital asset exchanges and other custodians for certain SEN Leverage loans subject to accounting guidance issued by SAB 121. The Company uses third party market pricing of bitcoin to record the safeguarding liabilities and corresponding safeguarding assets at fair value. The fair value of the safeguarding liabilities and corresponding safeguarding assets related to these digital assets are classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.
Impaired loans (collateral-dependent). The Company does not record impaired loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, fair value adjustments are recorded on these loans to reflect (1) partial write-downs, through charge-offs or specific allowances, that are based on the current appraised or market-quoted value of the underlying collateral or (2) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value. In some cases, the properties for which market quotes or appraised values have been obtained are located in areas where comparable sales data is limited, outdated, or unavailable. Fair value estimates for collateral-dependent impaired loans are obtained from real estate brokers or other third-party consultants. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches, which generally include various Level 3 inputs. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available and such adjustments are typically significant. Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic factors and estimated liquidation expenses. The range of these possible adjustments may vary. Impaired loans presented in the table below as of the periods presented include impaired loans with specific allowances as well as impaired loans that have been partially charged-off.
The following tables provide the hierarchy and fair value for each class of assets and liabilities measured at fair value for the periods presented.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Financial Instruments Not Required To Be Carried At Fair Value
FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments. The Company’s estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial condition as of the dates presented:

Class A Voting Common Stock. Each holder of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights and preferences of the holders of any outstanding shares of our preferred stock. The members of the Company’s board of directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. The Company’s Articles expressly prohibit cumulative voting.
Class B Non-Voting Common Stock. Class B Non-Voting Common Stock was non-voting while held by the initial holder with certain limited exceptions.
