We are
As a bank holding company, we generate most of our revenue from interest income on loans and from short-term investments. The primary source of funding for our loans and short-term investments are deposits held by our subsidiary,Bank7 . We measure our performance by our return on average assets, return on average equity, earnings per share, capital ratios, efficiency ratio (calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis) and noninterest income. As ofMarch 31, 2022 , we had total assets of$1.4 billion , total loans of$1.1 billion , total deposits of$1.3 billion and total shareholders' equity of$128.6 million . Results of Operations Performance Summary. For the first quarter of 2022, we reported a pre-tax income of$8.2 million , compared to pre-tax income of$6.8 million for the first quarter of 2021. For the first quarter of 2022, interest income increased by$1.7 million , or 13.2%, compared to the first quarter of 2021. For the first quarter of 2022, average total loans were$1.0 billion with loan yields of 5.82% as compared to average total loans of$847.5 million with loan yields of 6.27% for the first quarter of 2021.

Provision for Loan Losses
Credit risk is inherent in the business of making loans. We establish an
Allowance for loan losses ("Allowance") through charges to earnings, which are
shown in the statements of income as the provision for loan losses. Specifically
identifiable and quantifiable known losses are charged off against the
Allowance. The provision for loan losses is determined by conducting a quarterly
evaluation of the adequacy of our Allowance and applying the shortfall or
excess, if any, to the current quarter's expense. Any shortfall between the
liquidation value of the underlying collateral and the recorded investment value
of the loan is considered the required specific reserve amount. See the
discussion under "-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates-Allowance for Loan
and Lease Losses." This has the effect of creating variability in the amount and
frequency of charges to our earnings. The provision for loan losses and level of
Allowance for each period are dependent upon many factors, including loan
growth, net charge-offs, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio,
delinquencies, management's assessment of the quality of the loan portfolio, the
valuation of problem loans and the general economic conditions in our market
areas.
The allowance as a percentage of loans was 1.00%

As ofMarch 31, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 , our gross loans were$1.1 billion and$1.0 billion , respectively. Included in the commercial & industrial loan balances atMarch 31, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 , respectively, are$14.2 million and$18.7 million of loans that were originated under the SBA PPP program. We have established internal concentration limits in the loan portfolio forCommercial Real Estate (CRE) loans, hospitality loans, energy loans, and construction loans, among others. All loan types are within our established limits. We use underwriting guidelines to assess each borrower's historical cash flow to determine debt service capabilities, and we further stress test the customer's debt service capability under higher interest rate scenarios as well as other underlying macro-economic factors. Financial and performance covenants are used in commercial lending to allow us to react to a borrower's deteriorating financial condition, should that occur. 35

Allowance for loan and lease losses
The allowance is based on management's estimate of potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In the opinion of management, the allowance is adequate to absorb estimated losses in the portfolio as of each balance sheet date. While management uses available information to analyze losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance. In analyzing the adequacy of the allowance, a comprehensive loan grading system to determine risk potential in loans is utilized together with the results of internal credit reviews. To determine the adequacy of the allowance, the loan portfolio is broken into segments based on loan type. Historical loss experience factors by segment, adjusted for changes in trends and conditions, are used to determine an indicated allowance for each portfolio segment. These factors are evaluated and updated based on the composition of the specific loan segment. Other considerations include volumes and trends of delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, levels of bankruptcies, criticized and classified loan trends, expected losses on real estate secured loans, new credit products and policies, economic conditions, concentrations of credit risk and the experience and abilities of our lending personnel.

Distressed Assets
Loans are considered delinquent when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more. Delinquent loans may remain on accrual status between 30 days and 90 days past due. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Typically, the accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when principal or interest payments are past due 90 days or when, in the opinion of management, there is a reasonable doubt as to collectability of the obligation. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on a nonaccrual loan is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received and the loan's principal balance is deemed collectible. Loans are restored to accrual status when loans become well-secured and management believes full collectability of principal and interest is probable. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include loans on nonaccrual status and loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). Income from a loan on nonaccrual status is recognized to the extent cash is received and when the loan's principal balance is deemed collectible. Depending on a particular loan's circumstances, we measure impairment of a loan based upon either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is considered collateral dependent when repayment of the loan is based solely on the liquidation of the collateral. Fair value, where possible, is determined by independent appraisals, typically on an annual basis. Between appraisal periods, the fair value may be adjusted based on specific events, such as if deterioration of quality of the collateral comes to our attention as part of our problem loan monitoring process, or if discussions with the borrower lead us to believe the last appraised value no longer reflects the actual market for the collateral. The impairment amount on a collateral dependent loan is charged off to the allowance if deemed not collectible and the impairment amount on a loan that is not collateral dependent is set up as a specific reserve. In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and we make certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan is classified as a TDR. Included in certain loan categories of impaired loans are TDRs on which we have granted concessions to the borrower as a result of the borrower experiencing financial difficulties. The concessions granted by us may include, but are not limited to: (1) a modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments or frequency of payments is modified, (2) an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new loans with similar risk, or (3) a combination of the first two concessions. If a borrower on a restructured TDR has demonstrated performance under the previous terms, is not experiencing financial difficulty and shows the capacity to continue to perform under the restructured terms, the loan will remain on accrual status. Otherwise, the loan will be placed on nonaccrual status until the borrower demonstrates a sustained period of performance, which generally requires six consecutive months of payments. Loans identified as TDRs are evaluated for impairment using the present value of the expected cash flows or the estimated fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. The fair value is determined, when possible, by an appraisal of the property less estimated costs related to liquidation of the collateral. The appraisal amount may also be adjusted for current market conditions. Adjustments to reflect the present value of the expected cash flows or the estimated fair value of collateral dependent loans are a component in determining an appropriate allowance, and as such, may result in increases or decreases to the provision for loan losses in current and future earnings.
Properties that we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure are classified as other real estate holdings or OREO until sold and are initially recognized at fair value less costs of sale upon acquisition, creating a new cost basis.

In addition to past due and non-accrual criteria, we also rate loans using our internal risk rating system. The loans are divided into the categories “Pass”, “Watch”, “Special Mention” and “Substandard”. The definitions of these categories are as follows:
Pass: These loans generally conform to Bank policies, are characterized by policy-conforming advance rates on collateral, and have well-defined repayment sources. In addition, these credits are extended to borrowers and guarantors with a strong balance sheet and either substantial liquidity or a reliable income history. Watch: These loans are still considered "Pass" credits; however, various factors such as industry stress, material changes in cash flow or financial conditions, or deficiencies in loan documentation, or other risk issues determined by the lending officer, Commercial Loan Committee or Credit Quality Committee warrant a heightened sense and frequency of monitoring. Special mention: These loans have observable weaknesses or evidence of imprudent handling or structural issues. The weaknesses require close attention, and the remediation of those weaknesses is necessary. No risk of probable loss exists. Credits in this category are expected to quickly migrate to "Watch" or "Substandard" as this is viewed as a transitory loan grade. Substandard: These loans are not adequately protected by the sound worth and debt service capacity of the borrower, but may be well-secured. The loans have defined weaknesses relative to cash flow, collateral, financial condition or other factors that might jeopardize repayment of all of the principal and interest on a timely basis. There is the possibility that a future loss will occur if weaknesses are not remediated. 40

Problematic debt restructuring
TDRs are defined as those loans in which a bank, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with original contractual terms of the loan. Loans with insignificant delays or insignificant short-falls in the amount of payments expected to be collected are not considered to be impaired. Loans defined as individually impaired, based on applicable accounting guidance, include larger balance nonperforming loans and TDRs. The following table presents loans restructured as TDRs as ofMarch 31, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 : As ofMarch 31, 2022 Post- Modification

We gather deposits primarily through our nine branch locations and online through our website. We offer a variety of deposit products including demand deposit accounts and interest-bearing products, such as savings accounts and certificates of deposit. We put continued effort into gathering noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts through loan production cross-selling, customer referrals, marketing efforts and various involvement with community networks. Some of our interest-bearing deposits are obtained through brokered transactions. We participate in the CDARS and ICS programs, where customer funds are placed into multiple deposit accounts, each in an amount under the standardFDIC insurance maximum of$250,000 , and placed at a network of banks acrossthe United States . Total deposits as ofMarch 31, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 were$1.3 billion and$1.2 billion , respectively.

Liquidity
Liquidity refers to our ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors
and borrowers, while at the same time meeting our operating, capital and
strategic cash flow needs, all at a reasonable cost. We continuously monitor our
liquidity position to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner
that will meet all short-term and long-term cash requirements. We manage our
liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of customers, while
maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the
return on investment objectives of our shareholders.
Our liquidity position is supported by cash management and access to alternative funding sources. Our liquid assets include cash on hand, interest-bearing deposits with correspondent banks and sold fed funds. Other available sources of liquidity are wholesale deposits and correspondent bank loans and advances from FHLB.
Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily met through cash flow from operations, redeployment of prepaying and maturing balances in our loan portfolios, and increases in customer deposits. Other alternative sources of funds will supplement these primary sources to the extent necessary to meet additional liquidity requirements on either a short-term or long-term basis. As ofMarch 31, 2022 , we had no unsecured fed funds lines with correspondent depository institutions with no amounts advanced. In addition, based on the values of loans pledged as collateral, we had borrowing availability with the FHLB of$86.2 million as ofMarch 31, 2022 and$78.1 million as ofDecember 31, 2021 . Capital Requirements The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking regulators. Failure to meet regulatory capital requirements may result in certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for "prompt corrective action" (described below), We must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting policies. The capital amounts and classifications are subject to qualitative judgments by the federal banking regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Qualitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital, Tier 1 capital, total capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets, referred to as the "leverage ratio." 44

As ofMarch 31, 2022 , the Bank was in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements and categorized as "well-capitalized" under the prompt corrective action frame work. There have been no conditions or events sinceMarch 31, 2022 that management believes would change this classification. The table below presents our applicable capital requirements, as well as our capital ratios as ofMarch 31, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 . The Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and the Bank was considered to be "well-capitalized" as of the dates reflected in the tables below.
Basel III capital rules
Under the Basel III capital rules, to avoid restrictions on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to senior executives, a banking organization must hold a capital conservation buffer composed of CET1 capital in excess of its minimum risk-based capital requirements. away

adequate cash levels through profitability, loan repayment and maturity activity
and continued deposit gathering activities. We have in place various borrowing
mechanisms for both short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contractual or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments. 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. Commitments generally have 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 amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if we deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. The Company also estimates a reserve for potential losses associated with off-balance sheet commitments and letters of credit. It is included in other liabilities in the Company's consolidated statements of condition, with any related provisions to the reserve included in non-interest expense in the consolidated statement of income. In determining the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, a process similar to the one used for the allowance is employed. Based on historical experience, loss factors, adjusted for expected funding, are applied to the Company's off-balance sheet commitments and letters of credit to estimate the potential for losses. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of the customer to a third party. They are intended to be disbursed, subject to certain conditions, upon request of the borrower.
The table below summarizes the commitments on the given dates.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and conform to general practices within the industry in which we operate. To prepare financial statements in conformity with 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 statement. In particular, management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the estimates, assumptions and judgments inherent in those policies, are critical in understanding our financial statements. The JOBS Act permits us an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period, which means that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q, as well as any financial statements that we file in the future, will not be subject to all new or revised accounting standards generally applicable to public companies for the transition period for so long as we remain an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act. The following is a discussion of the critical accounting policies and significant estimates that we believe require us to make the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. Additional information about these policies can be found in Note 1 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as ofMarch 31, 2022 . 47

Allowance for loan and lease losses
The allowance is based on management's estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In the opinion of management, the allowance is adequate to absorb estimated losses in the portfolio as of each balance sheet date. While management uses available information to analyze losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and changes in the composition of the loan portfolio. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance. In analyzing the adequacy of the allowance, a comprehensive loan grading system to determine risk potential in loans is utilized together with the results of internal credit reviews. To determine the adequacy of the allowance, the loan portfolio is broken into segments based on loan type and risk characteristics. Historical loss experience factors by segment, adjusted for changes in trends and conditions, are used to determine an indicated allowance for each portfolio segment. These factors are evaluated and updated based on the composition of the specific loan segment. Other considerations include volumes and trends of delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, levels of bankruptcies, criticized and classified loan trends, expected losses on real estate secured loans, new credit products and policies, economic conditions, concentrations of credit risk and the experience and abilities of our lending personnel. In addition to the segment evaluations, impaired loans with a balance of$250,000 or more are individually evaluated based on facts and circumstances of the loan to determine if a specific allowance amount may be necessary. Specific allowances may also be established for loans whose outstanding balances are below the$250,000 threshold when it is determined that the risk associated with the loan differs significantly from the risk factor amounts established for its loan segment.
Intangible assets totaled$1.6 million and goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, totaled$8.8 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , compared to intangible assets of$1.6 million and goodwill of$8.5 million for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 .Goodwill resulting from a business combination represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if other impairment indicators are present. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, a goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Other intangible assets consist of intangible assets from core deposits and are amortized on a straight-line basis based on an estimated useful life of 10 years. Such assets are regularly evaluated with regard to the recoverability of their book values.
Income Taxes
We file a consolidated income tax return. Deferred taxes are recognized under
the balance sheet method based upon the future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and
liabilities, using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
periods when the related temporary differences are expected to be realized.
The amount of accrued current and deferred income taxes is based on estimates of
taxes due or receivable from taxing authorities either currently or in the
future. Changes in these accruals are reported as tax expense, and involve
estimates of the various components included in determining taxable income, tax
credits, other taxes and temporary differences. Changes periodically occur in
the estimates due to changes in tax rates, tax laws and regulations and
implementation of new tax planning strategies. The process of determining the
accruals for income taxes necessarily involves the exercise of considerable
judgment and consideration of numerous subjective factors.
Management performs an analysis of our tax positions annually and believes it is
more likely than not that all of its tax positions will be utilized in future
years.
