Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Report") may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and as such, may involve risks and uncertainties. We claim the protection of the safe harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the Bank's financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, expectations of the environment in which we operate and projections of future performance or business. Such statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking language, such as "is expected to," "will likely result," "anticipated," "projected", "estimate," "forecast," "intends to," or may include other similar words, phrases, or future or conditional verbs such as "aims", "believes," "plans," "continue," "remain," "may," "might," "will," "would," "should," "could," "can," or similar language. Forward-looking statements by us are based on estimates, beliefs, projections and assumptions of management and are not guarantees of future performance. Our actual results, performance, or achievements may differ significantly from the results, performance, or achievements expected or implied in such forward-looking statements. When considering these statements, you should not place undue reliance on these statements, as they are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as any cautionary statements made within this Quarterly Report, and should also note that these statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report and based only on information known to us at that time.
Factors causing risk and uncertainty, which could cause future results to be materially different from forward-looking statements contained in our 2023 Annual Report as well as from historical performance, include but are not limited to:
- Regulatory decisions regarding the Bank, and impact of future regulatory and governmental agency decisions including Basel III capital standards;
- Adequacy of allowance for credit loss estimates in comparison to actual future losses;
- Necessity of additional capital in the future, and possible unavailability of that capital on acceptable terms;
- Economic and market conditions that may adversely affect the Bank and our industry;
- Disruptions to the financial markets as a result of the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, including escalating military tension between Russia and Ukraine, terrorism or other geopolitical events;
- Possible loss of members of senior management or other key employees upon whom the Bank heavily relies;
- Changes in the interest rate environment, and levels of short- and long-term interest rates, may negatively affect the Bank's financial performance;
- Changes in governmental or bank-established interest rates or monetary policies, including the replacement of the LIBOR index on our loans which are tied to that index;
- Strong competition from other financial service entities;
- Possibility that the Bank's underwriting practices may prove to be ineffective;
- Changes in the commercial and residential real estate markets that could adversely affect the collateral value supporting our loans and increase charge-offs;
- Adverse economic conditions in Asia which could negatively impact the Bank's business;
- Catastrophic events, acts of war or terrorism, or natural disasters, such as earthquakes, drought, pandemic diseases (including the COVID-19 pandemic), climate change or extreme weather events, any of which may affect services we use, may affect our customers, employees or third parties with which we conduct business, or could negatively impact the Bank's business;
- Geographic concentration of our operations;
- The economic impact of Federal budgetary policies;
- Failure to attract deposits, inhibiting growth;
- Interruption or break in the communication, information, operating, and financial control systems upon which the Bank relies;
- Changes in federal and state laws or the regulatory environment including regulatory reform initiatives and policies of the U.S. Department of Treasury, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation;
- Changes in accounting standards as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other regulatory agencies and their impact on critical accounting policies and assumptions;
- Potential changes in the U.S. government's monetary policies;
- Environmental liability with respect to properties to which the Bank takes title;
- Negative publicity;
- Information technology and cyber security incidents, disruptions or attacks and the possible blocking, theft or loss of Bank or customer access, functionality, data, funding or money
As a result of the rapid rise in interest rates in 2022 and 2023, resulting reductions in the value of investment securities portfolios throughout the industry, and recent bank failures, our forward-looking statements are subject to the following risks, uncertainties and assumptions specifically related to these circumstances:
- Attraction and retention of uninsured deposits in the short-term may be challenged;
- Deterioration in depositor confidence could result in deposit outflows and strains on our liquidity;
- Failures of additional banks could further erode depositor confidence and deposit withdrawals that could require us to borrow funds or sell securities, which could adversely affect our operating results;
- Replacement of withdrawn deposits with funds borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve Bank, or other sources likely will increase our marginal interest expense and could reduce our net interest income and reduce our net income and the rate of our quarterly cash dividend;
- Changes in regulations and examination standards in response to the recent bank failures could result in increased compliance costs and possible restrictions on operations and strategic initiatives; and
- FDIC premiums may increase if the Deposit Insurance Fund experiences additional costs in the resolution of the recent and any future bank failures, which could reduce our net income.
These factors are further described in this report and in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") on March 14, 2024 under the heading "Item 1A. RISK FACTORS - Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results." We do not undertake, and we specifically disclaim any obligation to update any forward looking statements to reflect the occurrence of events or circumstances after the date of such statements except as required by law.

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Business
Preferred Bank commenced operations in 1991 as a California state-chartered bank and offers a wide range of financial services. As of March 31, 2024, the Bank operates through twelve full-service branch banking offices in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Francisco Counties in California, one full-service branch in Queens County, New York, one full-service branch in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land, Texas, and a satellite office in Manhattan. As of March 31, 2024, approximately 89% of the total dollar amount of the Bank's gross loans were secured by real estate located in California and the Northeast Tri-State area (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut). The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system ("FHLB") and the Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").
2. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Preferred Bank and its wholly-owned, inactive subsidiary, PB Investment and Consulting, Inc. (herein referred to as the "Bank", "we", "us" or "our"). All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Bank have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normally recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim period results, have been made.
Through its branch network, the Bank provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies primarily located in Southern California, the Bay Area of California and the Greater New York City area. These services include demand, time and savings deposits and real estate, business and consumer lending. While the Bank's chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a bank-wide basis. Accordingly, the Bank considers all operations aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the FDIC on March 14, 2024. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of the issuance of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. No significant subsequent events have occurred through this date requiring adjustment to the financial statements or disclosures.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank are based upon GAAP and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry. The Bank has not made any changes in its significant accounting policies from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the FDIC.
